This is amazing, Kristen & Siya. I looked at current prices for a 31' model and the Base Price, fully loaded is $149,900. Even it yous had $15,000 less some of the luxuries, that's still $134,900. Not counting the cost of your Airstream purchase, all you had left when you began the renovation was the metal shell. That's it. So everything is new and your will be able to enjoy this treasure for many years and/or decades to come. All the best wishes for a happy, safe journey, with excellent views and wonderful friendships along the way. God bless you both on your way. : )
That's actually much more reasonable than I expected especially considering the labor cost and the luxury items you have (like the $800 sink). It's at about the same price as many commercially built tiny houses and offers similar space as well, but I think it is much more mobile. Congrats guys!
MiroAcronymity I had some trouble with some of the higher prices items (like the sink) but it's such a big feature. Kinda like a piece of art but useful.
I can absolutely understand why you did it. You are investing in your home and into something that you use every day. I think that's a very good choice if that means you enjoy using it more.
New to the channel. My dad recently passed away and I am inheriting his camper. I will watch more of your channel. My partner and I are free spirited and never felt like we could find someplace to call home yet. Remodeling my camper might be what I dream of doing and turning it into a modular home. Airstreams are awesome.
Luna is gorgeous! I love how you didn't scrimp on anything and she still cost you under 60k. Definitely going to build a tiny house one day! People like you guys inspire me everyday to make steps toward my dreams! Thanks guys :D happy travelling x
That was less than what I thought! My husband and I are looking for one but it's hard because we would have no where to store it and work on it. I love that you have a king size bed, that is our thing we won't let go!
I am very impressed with the cost of the renovation. For cutting no corners, you guys spent much less than you would in a traditional home, plus you get the benefits of being off grid and environmentally friendly! I'm only in high school, but once I'm on my own with stable finances, this would be a project that I'd much enjoy!! :)
IT'S HERE!!! New Video & Post: Our Airstream Renovation COST BREAKDOWN! $$How Much Did We Pay?!$$ For a list of the breakdown, visit: hopscotchtheglobe.com/airstream-renovation-cost/
I find you both to have very engaging and pleasant personalities. The information in your videos is cool, but the way you both deliver the information is the real value of Hopscotch the Globe/K&S channel.
Guys I hope you read this... I’m going to get esoteric. Regardless of the overall cost, you accomplished two main things; A true custom, and your moneys employed those in our economy that keep craftsman such as these employed, with one less item relegated to the trash heap. Great job guys!
During my 21,000 motorcycle tour of the USA, I met a couple, camping on a lakebed, in Montana, who had retired to an airstream, and were travelling the USA with it. They had a summer site they owned in Mass. for summer stops, and another in Florida, for winter. They had visited Alaska, but got badly pestered by mosquitoes. The whole vehicle was bug screened, so they were very puzzled as to how they were getting into their home. Eventually, they found that the air-conditioner, wasn't bug screened. Problem solved! We shared a couple of evening meals. I bought the meat, they provided the veg, and cooking facilities. Stayed clear of big cities as much as possible, except for visiting friends and relatives. Many pleasant memories. Trip of a lifetime! .
Considering a tiny inner city apartment costs minimum 300k (Brisbane, Australia) that is such a reasonable price for your own home that you can take anywhere. Love your house so much.
The space is truly gorgeous (love the Instagram) and it is incredible how far that money goes in a small space. Thanks for sharing all these money details - it’s often uncomfortable to share/discuss, but super cool to hear the logistical side of things!
I installed the same ceiling lights a few weeks ago. Then ran across your video. I am pretty satisfied with them. Also installed a Facon dimmer switch, works great.
Yes! We got the tow package meaning the truck can pull up to 12,000 pounds and you can bring your trailer to some gas stations and actually weigh it so you know how heavy it is.
Great video guys. Come to think of it it's much cheaper than buying a house and you get to be everywhere exploring new places! We could actually see ourselves living like this and roadtrippin' for a long time.
Love it! You should totally do it. It's so cool to meet others on the road doing what we are.So many interesting people with incredible stories. It's a great life :)
Definitely more than we originally anticipated. But it ended up being our dream home rather than something that just "works." Come visit anytime amigo!
Your home is so beautiful and cozy. Seriously it’s a perfect mix of modern and “woodsy” if you know what I mean 😂 I absolutely love all the natural sunlight! Wow I want to move in please 🤓
I love your renovation. I think the price is cheaper than if you bought a new Airstream. I know because we once priced them. I think for your tiny home and having it done to your liking, that's a great value.
Wise choice, y'all. I recently toured a DFW Airstream Dealer, and found some awesome discounts on BRAND NEW AIRSTREAMS, but, "alas", I do not wish to carry a MORTGAGE on a damn camper. Plus. They are all cheapie "beige". My apartment is freakin beige. Beige is BLAND. and yukkkkkkky. The airstreams that have a comfortable spacious feel are all in the $90,000.00 + u.s.d. range. Emphasis on the plus. They also feature warm cherry or walnut darker cabinetry finishes, nice detail upgrades, fold down counter extensions, sink cover for extra prep counterspace...stuff like that. Generally those pluses put one up into the $150,000.00 + range. Again, emphasis on the plus. Nice, if you have a nice, plush business income. For hourly schlubs, not so much, or you're back to said mortgage. On a trailer. Oh, yes, the pricing does not include a tow vehicle. You need at least a 1/2 ton pickup with heavy duty suspension and horsepower to tow a "sport" 1 axle @18 to 23' give or take. Make the pickup have probably dually wheels for the "flying cloud" dual axle @ 20 to 28' or so, and throw in a cap for the pickup for extra supply storage space in both scenarios. These might tack on anywhere from (new)$40,000.00 to $60,000.00 plus tow packages and bed caps. Tonnaus are not really as helpful. So, yeah. Unless rich Mom& Dad or eccentric millionaire uncle Buck is willing to set you up, your gonna be paying...and paying...and paying. And, "alas", again, no land or utilities to stop moving around and park onto to avoid the grid costs. It would appear, to have an Airstream movable "home"; the best course of action is to renew-vate someone else's cast off. This way, if you do extensive research and planning, you will be able (with some compromising...) to get extremely close to what you want and will need. Just, don't get impatient...😉😎 I know what you're thinking
No such thing as a "rim" job. It's a "REAM" job. Look it up in the dictionary. Ream means to enlarge an opening. You may use fingers, tongue or penis. I know they call it rim in porn but thats because those guys arent too educated, so they say it wrong. Theyre rich but theyre dumb. Anyway, I wouldnt have mentioned it but Im sick of reading about "rimming" so I had to say something. You can go on saying it wrong if you want. Its your choice, but now you know. Have fun reaming. =)
Nice1 It came out very beautiful and it has your favorite items, like that gorgeous copper sink, etc. A new one would cost about 100,000 $ and it wouldnt look anything like this. You got a very nice 25 footer. I love trailers and Airstreams are the nicest, but yours is even nicer. Enjoy!
That’s a deposit on a house here in the UK ... and then you still have to make repayments, furnish it, pay heating bills etc - this airstream is awesome value for money!
That was actually less than I expected! Way less than a brand new Airstream that size. And Luna is off grid with solar! This gives me hope for my dream Airstream!
Compared to the average tiny house this is super reasonable. Especially considering that in ten or fifteen years the Airstream will have maintained it's value, maybe even increased (they have before). Tiny houses will not. That bubbles done bout to burst.
Your Airstream is beautiful, it is always worth putting time and money into your home to make it the best imho. $700 for the cushions is really reasonable. Sewing workroom labor is expensive and the price of fabric that you chose also factors into that as well as the inserts. If you think of the amount of time you use them it's money well spent.
Great job on your renovation. You mentioned the speakers and I need to replace mine in our Airstream renovation. What were the actual speakers you went with? Thanks.
Fabulous job!!! We are in the middle of our renovation and we are pretty much doing our bathroom with the same configuration. Where did you get the shower pan?
Is there still going to be a video made that's more in depth about the Furrion entertainment system? You mentioned it also worked as a DVD player. I'm curious if you hooked it up to the monitor or got a projection screen.
What year and interior length is your Airstream, Pls? You've just about built a NEW Airstream for probably at least half the cost of a new one - and it's custom - great price and what a beautiful tiny home you have!! Blessings!
Wow!!! Not bad for that price! It's like buying a pickup truck but even more expensive and this airstream has everything you need! I want one like yours! Awesome life guys! Smashing like!
Many people pay less because they do the work themselves but it also takes years, and that's if you know what you're doing. Many of our friend paid the same amount for a down payment on a 2 bedroom house. We are mortgage free! It feels really good :) Join us! You should totally do it.
I would love to know the same thing. I’m going to be asking my sister if she will sell me her airstream that she uses for storage. I want to revamp it and live in it.
Hello, i had a few questions about financing the reno. How did you go about purchasing the airstream i.e.; getting a loan, paying outright, or an alternate way. My girlfriend and I are on the cusp of purchasing one to renovate, we just don't know the best option!! Thank you. We love your Channel!
We saved the money for it and paid for it in full. It was $13,000 CAD. The renovations were paid for in installments throughout the year which was agreed upon with the people we worked with.
That’s way better than buying a new one with stuff you don’t want and placed where you don’t want it and the style you don’t want. It was cheaper and better!
The only thing it's missing (which we will eventually add) is a wood burning fire place. If we have that we could survive -30 but I don't even want to try hahaha.
A wood burning fireplace is generally useless for heat, most of which goes up the flue. You would want a sealed wood burning stove. cubicminiwoodstoves.com/
$200,000? I think not. A 2018 30' can be had for $143,500. For $56,000 (plus the price of whatever you paid for the original unit) you could have had a newer 2012 28' model and been done. Although it obviously would not be customized to your current needs, but whatever floats your boat :)
I loved seeing Luna at the LTA Summit! But with all due respect, the top of the line brand new 2018 airstream list price is $141k. That’s the “Classic” model. Most people negotiate that price so you would expect to pay even less. www.airstream.com/travel-trailers/classic/
I think some are missing the point of his comment. So he may have exaggerated what the cost of a new rig is, it doesnt change the fact that they paid less than half of the cost of a new airstream AND were able to completely customize it to their style and needs! Plus, they paid extra for quality pieces and elements. Not to mention, they can go completely off the grid! I say that's totally worth it and the result are amazing!
Y'all, now that is NICE!!! I think you's guys did great. Do you know how much it weighs now fully loaded with water, etc., like you're living in it? And, what truck y'all tow with? I'm surprised at the high cost of some things, and the low cost of some things I thought would be more. I think you evened it out as good as could be done. I know you'll be glad you didn't scrimp.
Well, I was going to click Subscribe, but then you said not to. :P Just kidding. I just stumbled across your channel, and I wanted to say that was an excellent breakdown of all the different costs. I have a '63 Flying Cloud 22-ft I'm debating whether I want to renovate or just get rid of. The underbelly got ripped at one point, and I know that the subfloor is rotting and the water system leaks. Plus, I would want to replace the wiring system anyway, and half of the inside has been previously gutted (no "L" sofa/bed, fridge is missing, etc) so I would have to literally strip all the way down to the bare frame and work my way back up. Your video has given me more insight into what all is involved. Thank you.
Considering the price of new Airstreams, or the price of new RVs of considerably less quality, $54k isn't bad for the final product. Make sure it's insured at that value. Keep receipts and take many pix.
OUCH!!!!! But I'm very happy you kids have made yourselves a beautiful home... And you have it just the way you love it. That's worth it's weight in gold... You can't put a price tag on comfort and enjoyment... Y'all did an awesome job laying it all out... Be blessed... BBE..
I LOVE love your airstream!!! Just out of curiosity do you guys live off the grid completely with no internet? do you have an internet system or just use cellular data. Really curious to see if thats a possibility!
We stay on and off grid. Earlier this month we were in the middle of nowhere in a desert and kept our batteries charged with solar. We've also stayed in trailer parks so that we can plug into power & water and have access to wifi.
That's not bad price for living, but you have to have a car for towing that thing around, if wanted. Or you can just tow it by yourself i guess, gaining some muscle and all. my family custom built a camper like this for vacation trips and such but they have construction business so there were big money saver from all the labour work. I have question; how is the airstearm of yours heated? don't you live in Canada, there i guess is cold winter time yeah?
11:03 total cost reveal. :)
The real OG

the cool thing about rv living is you can spend however much or however little you want.. your airstream looks neat, thanks for showing it!
I love that this first video I seen with a price breakdown. Thank you for this. You guys are such a beautiful couple.
That was less than what I thought! My husband and I are looking for one but it's hard because we would have no where to store it and work on it. I love that you have a king size bed, that is our thing we won't let go!
Thank you for being so honest and detailed! No shame, all love. Respect your choices.
That is not bad for others doing the work for you, it came out great and what counts is what works for both of you. Great work guys!
Would have been 1/3 the cost if we did the work ourselves, but it would have taken two years for us to build.
I am very impressed with the cost of the renovation. For cutting no corners, you guys spent much less than you would in a traditional home, plus you get the benefits of being off grid and environmentally friendly!

Some people don't like to talk money, but we all have to deal with it. We wanted to share our costs to help people who are interested in doing this.
This is a great straight forward video. Thanks guys
I installed the same ceiling lights a few weeks ago. Then ran across your video. I am pretty satisfied with them. Also installed a Facon dimmer switch, works great.
Such a gorgeous airstream! I keep dreaming about living off grid, maybe one day I can.
Thank you for this video! It was very informative, wow you have it all figured out.
I really admire your sweet home, its is very cosy and stylish!
This is amazing. Did you ever take in consideration the weight to keep it towable by your vehicle?
Yes! We got the tow package meaning the truck can pull up to 12,000 pounds and you can bring your trailer to some gas stations and actually weigh it so you know how heavy it is.
@@hopscotchtheglobeso with all the renovations how heavy is your airstream now?
Great video guys. Come to think of it it's much cheaper than buying a house and you get to be everywhere exploring new places! We could actually see ourselves living like this and roadtrippin' for a long time.
Love it! You should totally do it. It's so cool to meet others on the road doing what we are.So many interesting people with incredible stories. It's a great life :)
So much cheaper than a house. Mortgage free!
Thank you for sharing this! I loved how you went into each category and went into specifics with each item. Super great video. Your home is beautiful!
Lovely Airstream “Luna” great idea. Labor was costly no joke, but worth it. Enjoy it for many years. Cheers and let the music begin 😀🎼🍷
Nice one people good to see what youve done to the gaf. I`m buy a static caravan and got some good ides from your video. cheers
Wow so much but it was so worth it! I have to visit it sometime!
Definitely more than we originally anticipated. But it ended up being our dream home rather than something that just "works." Come visit anytime amigo!
You're welcome any time!
Exploring With Cody wish you had been at Summit brother and seen how awesome this AIRSTREAM looks in person
Your home is so beautiful and cozy. Seriously it’s a perfect mix of modern and “woodsy” if you know what I mean 😂 I absolutely love all the natural sunlight! Wow I want to move in please 🤓
Sure! We have a spare bed :) haha
Kristen Sarah hahaha I’m packing my bags!! 😜
@@hopscotchtheglobe
I like the plexiglass bathroom wall idea. Very unique aesthetic.
Amazing work Sia & Kristen!
You are very wise to get professionals to do the work. Now, you have a quality home.
Not bad considering all of the luxury and custom items. Looks beautiful!
I love your renovation. I think the price is cheaper than if you bought a new Airstream. I know because we once priced them. I think for your tiny home and having it done to your liking, that's a great value.
$200,000 brand new! Crazy to think we paid 1/3 cost of a new airstream and got it custom.
Wise choice, y'all. I recently toured a DFW Airstream Dealer, and found some awesome discounts on BRAND NEW AIRSTREAMS, but, "alas", I do not wish to carry a MORTGAGE on a damn camper. Plus. They are all cheapie "beige". My apartment is freakin beige. Beige is BLAND. and yukkkkkkky.
The airstreams that have a comfortable spacious feel are all in the $90,000.00 + u.s.d. range. Emphasis on the plus. They also feature warm cherry or walnut darker cabinetry finishes, nice detail upgrades, fold down counter extensions, sink cover for extra prep counterspace...stuff like that. Generally those pluses put one up into the $150,000.00 + range. Again, emphasis on the plus. Nice, if you have a nice, plush business income. For hourly schlubs, not so much, or you're back to said mortgage. On a trailer. Oh, yes, the pricing does not include a tow vehicle. You need at least a 1/2 ton pickup with heavy duty suspension and horsepower to tow a "sport" 1 axle @18 to 23' give or take. Make the pickup have probably dually wheels for the "flying cloud" dual axle @ 20 to 28' or so, and throw in a cap for the pickup for extra supply storage space in both scenarios. These might tack on anywhere from (new)$40,000.00 to $60,000.00 plus tow packages and bed caps. Tonnaus are not really as helpful.
So, yeah. Unless rich Mom& Dad or eccentric millionaire uncle Buck is willing to set you up, your gonna be paying...and paying...and paying. And, "alas", again, no land or utilities to stop moving around and park onto to avoid the grid costs.
It would appear, to have an Airstream movable "home"; the best course of action is to renew-vate someone else's cast off. This way, if you do extensive research and planning, you will be able (with some compromising...) to get extremely close to what you want and will need. Just, don't get impatient...😉😎 I know what you're thinking
Do you find that the two table supports are sufficient to keep the table stable? I'm looking at a similar construction. Thanks!
Rim Job eh :P
+Hey Nadine hahaha 4 rim jobs for under $500 not bad right?
😂😂
Lmao that’s the first thing I laughed at
No such thing as a "rim" job. It's a "REAM" job. Look it up in the dictionary. Ream means to enlarge an opening. You may use fingers, tongue or penis.

Incredible video, really helps for people who looking to do this and would like to know what the real cost are out there. Great job!!
Thanks amigo
Such a great build! Your full cost breakdown was perfect. Thanks so much!!
Nice1 It came out very beautiful and it has your favorite items, like that gorgeous copper sink, etc. A new one would cost about 100,000 $ and it wouldnt look anything like this. You got a very nice 25 footer. I love trailers and Airstreams are the nicest, but yours is even nicer. Enjoy!
That’s a deposit on a house here in the UK ... and then you still have to make repayments, furnish it, pay heating bills etc - this airstream is awesome value for money!
very true. Way less than a regular house.
So were you able to salvage or sell anything from the old interior? Did it all just end up in a landfill?
That was actually less than I expected! Way less than a brand new Airstream that size. And Luna is off grid with solar! This gives me hope for my dream Airstream!
It's really not much. My friend spent 60k just on a basement renovation of his house. We got a whole house for that price.
Compared to the average tiny house this is super reasonable. Especially considering that in ten or fifteen years the Airstream will have maintained it's value, maybe even increased (they have before). Tiny houses will not. That bubbles done bout to burst.
Thank you guys for putting up the prices. I really appreciate it. The Airstream looks very nice..

Siya Zarrabi Exactly Kristen Sarah! I will definitely someday. Awesome life! Happy life guys!!!
Awesome job. Very chic interior. That is a 80 grand Airstream...
Beautiful....just curious, do you know the price of a new airstream that size?
Cacat2 between 150,000 - 200,000
I have the same mattress and it really is awesome!
Stunning remodel. I love it! Curious on the specs for the Airstream. How much does it weigh now and what are you using to tow it? It's a 30'. correct?
I would love to know the same thing. I’m going to be asking my sister if she will sell me her airstream that she uses for storage. I want to revamp it and live in it.
Hello Kristen and Siya! Love the conversion. I'd like to know which brand of drawer glides you purchased and how much they were. Thanks so much!
I really like your reno- great job you two! Inspiration!!
Wow, that's very affordable. I see those tiny homes coming in around $200K-300K. Nice job.
Nice break down. Pricey.
Why did you redo the subframe and flooring?
Where did you by Store top I love it and oven
Hello, i had a few questions about financing the reno. How did you go about purchasing the airstream i.e.; getting a loan, paying outright, or an alternate way. My girlfriend and I are on the cusp of purchasing one to renovate, we just don't know the best option!! Thank you. We love your Channel!
We saved the money for it and paid for it in full. It was $13,000 CAD. The renovations were paid for in installments throughout the year which was agreed upon with the people we worked with.
"Rim job" anyone else notice that? hahaha
+Never Stay Still hehehehe
Yes! Lmao! I’m such a child!
Thank you for noticing! Threw that in the edit.
It's stunning...I luv it!
If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your blanket at?
+Ana Paula Mendonca thank you! It's from a market in Ecuador and cost $20!
Excellent presentation!
What did you put OVER our insulation as the interior walls??
Where is all of those stuff :D Want to visit the Airstream someday :)
When you gutted it, did you place more braces on the frame?
That’s way better than buying a new one with stuff you don’t want and placed where you don’t want it and the style you don’t want. It was cheaper and better!
Is the airstream good for Canadian winter like in Quebec at -30?
The only thing it's missing (which we will eventually add) is a wood burning fire place. If we have that we could survive -30 but I don't even want to try hahaha.
Kristen Sarah so I guess you are away on the west coast until April hahahaha
Yup! :)
A wood burning fireplace is generally useless for heat, most of which goes up the flue. You would want a sealed wood burning stove. cubicminiwoodstoves.com/
Thank you so much for a great to the point video!
Brand new, these Airstreams are $200,000. We paid a fraction of this.
Siya Zarrabi YES! A lot of people don't realize this!
$200,000? I think not. A 2018 30' can be had for $143,500. For $56,000 (plus the price of whatever you paid for the original unit) you could have had a newer 2012 28' model and been done. Although it obviously would not be customized to your current needs, but whatever floats your boat :)
Please show me a $200,000 Airstream. They are very expensive but you're about double the real cost to make yourself feel better about what you paid.
I loved seeing Luna at the LTA Summit! But with all due respect, the top of the line brand new 2018 airstream list price is $141k. That’s the “Classic” model. Most people negotiate that price so you would expect to pay even less.

I think some are missing the point of his comment. So he may have exaggerated what the cost of a new rig is, it doesnt change the fact that they paid less than half of the cost of a new airstream AND were able to completely customize it to their style and needs! Plus, they paid extra for quality pieces and elements. Not to mention, they can go completely off the grid! I say that's totally worth it and the result are amazing!
You need to contact Drivin and Vibin. They just bought an old Airstream and are asking for suggestions and help.
Wow. I love it and it's way cheaper than I guessed ($100k CAD).
Y'all, now that is NICE!!! I think you's guys did great. Do you know how much it weighs now fully loaded with water, etc., like you're living in it? And, what truck y'all tow with? I'm surprised at the high cost of some things, and the low cost of some things I thought would be more. I think you evened it out as good as could be done. I know you'll be glad you didn't scrimp.
+Taka Yama we have a 2016 Ford F150 and the Airstream weighs 7000 pounds
Well, I was going to click Subscribe, but then you said not to. :P Just kidding. I just stumbled across your channel, and I wanted to say that was an excellent breakdown of all the different costs. I have a '63 Flying Cloud 22-ft I'm debating whether I want to renovate or just get rid of. The underbelly got ripped at one point, and I know that the subfloor is rotting and the water system leaks. Plus, I would want to replace the wiring system anyway, and half of the inside has been previously gutted (no "L" sofa/bed, fridge is missing, etc) so I would have to literally strip all the way down to the bare frame and work my way back up. Your video has given me more insight into what all is involved. Thank you.
Hey, How long is the one they have?? do you know by chance?
Considering the price of new Airstreams, or the price of new RVs of considerably less quality, $54k isn't bad for the final product. Make sure it's insured at that value. Keep receipts and take many pix.
y'all did great! its so awesome
SOOO Helpful and SOOOO Awesome!!!!
Did anyone notice the sound change at 4:00 it was smart to do lol
If you didn't pay for the mattress, why did you add it to the cost?
Hello. I think you guys did fantastic with everything ! It's hard to pick my favorite thing...there is so many ! So worth it ! ! Thanks :)
Thank you so much Paivi.
none of the links work to your blog post, did you take it down? thx
OUCH!!!!! But I'm very happy you kids have made yourselves a beautiful home... And you have it just the way you love it. That's worth it's weight in gold... You can't put a price tag on comfort and enjoyment... Y'all did an awesome job laying it all out... Be blessed... BBE..
Thanks Bobby
Amazing. Beautiful. Looking forward to owning small someday :)
Holli + Huckleberry I love your videos!
bunny m hey hey hey!!! 😄
Great job. As I look at all the Airstreams, they remind me of trying to stuff 10 pounds of stuff into a 5 pound bucket!
Hello! Love the work you have done. You might of said it and I missed it, but how long is your Airstream?!
I absolutely love your bed cover, where did you get it from?
Ecuador.
I LOVE love your airstream!!! Just out of curiosity do you guys live off the grid completely with no internet? do you have an internet system or just use cellular data. Really curious to see if thats a possibility!
We stay on and off grid. Earlier this month we were in the middle of nowhere in a desert and kept our batteries charged with solar. We've also stayed in trailer parks so that we can plug into power & water and have access to wifi.
that's such a dope project. . .
That's way less than I expected!
(Even though that was one expensive rim job ;) )
it was such a good rim job tho.
This is awesome information! Thanks!
That's not bad price for living, but you have to have a car for towing that thing around, if wanted. Or you can just tow it by yourself i guess, gaining some muscle and all.
my family custom built a camper like this for vacation trips and such but they have construction business so there were big money saver from all the labour work.
I have question; how is the airstearm of yours heated? don't you live in Canada, there i guess is cold winter time yeah?
We moved it to California for Winter. We also have an F-150 to tow it with.
Considering that a brand new Airstream of your size costs over a hundred grand, I'd consider that you did pretty darn well.
Great job and choices
Beautiful!
Wow! Expensive! Very nice!
I love Airstreams !!! - great to get the breakdown !
Considering a brand new Sport costs $47,900 you made out very well!
