Yes I get it! I live full time in a 2000 Bounder 36s MH. First I had the CARPET replaced in the toilet room and beige porcelain tile put down. Also a new beige porcelain toilet. Love it Then I built a computer desk behind the passenger seat where the old recliner was. New countertops and new sink and faucets. Painted the bedroom and bath walls turquoise and the liv/kit light gray. Cabinets are same as yours. Tiled kitchen and bath with gel peel and stick mosaic tiles. Sofa is gone. Looking for new one soon. New Alure flooring going in this week and redoing the dinette cushions. New drain lines on my frig. Repaired the light and reinstalled my ice maker. Almost a new frig now. Recovering my dinette seats will complete the makeover. What an amazing difference!
I love how Kristy is very fashionable and glamorouse durring the sitdown portions of the video, but isn't afraid to post the cuts of her without make up and just down to earth and working.
So, we are patiently waiting for our 2016 Airstream to be built, and have watched your videos often, getting more eager every day. At the end of this one Sean said subscribers "get it." Well, we got the jokes and site gags and appreciate the humor and the effort you both put into the shows. Thanks. When we finally start hauling, we will look for you on the road.
my wife and i are new campers and love the lifestyle now , your video not only being very informative are funny and a joy to watch , keep up the good work guys
That was very cool and it goes to show how a little it takes to change the looks and function of a travel trailer. Your lifestyle choice is inspiring to us all who want to do the same thing in the future Keep Livin' the Dream!
We are newbies and your videos address so many things we have found so very helpful. It has been a huge change from a small pop-up with no amenities to a 32 ft Cedar Creek 5th wheel. Happy to be a subscriber!
Hey guys, like all your vids. We are recently retired and getting back into raving after 20 years off. Got a 20 ft RV that is already too small for the trips we want to take. Your adventures really motivate to get back out there.
My wife and I love your videos they are very informative. We are going to be newbies to the travel trailer lifestyle. What I mean by that is we are signing the papers on a new 18" travel trailer on Friday and have our orientation set for Saturday morning. This is our first trailer and we are excited to take the grand kids camping.
Hello 2003 airstream design team…what were you thinking! Sean and Kristi, you two did an awesome job bringing your airstream up to date! It looks beautiful, and I love the personal touches of creativity. 👍
Nice job on the upgrade. We had a similar problem with the interior of our trailer. It just did not feel like home. So we covered all the walls with vinyl wallpaper that we purchased from Target and then painted corners to match the wallpaper. Also had the cushions recovered and have updated the kitchen faucet with a single lever unit. We even added a chandelier, a little overboard, but hey.
I just upgraded all the door panels on my 1987 Ford campervan with diamond tread aluminum. It felt great to make the interior more my own. Your upgrades look great.
My opinion.... Best video yet. The time you both take in making quality videos is unmatched. My wife and I at the Kelly Corner thoroughly enjoy your work. We have a RV and hope to one day come across both of you in our adventures.
What a nice job!!! You have inspired me! Mine is a 2011, so it is not TOO bad, but there is always room to "personalize". My friend made me custom pillows. One says "Go Your Own Way" and the other says "wander". I found some unique rugs. I changed out the matchy-matchy comforter and pillows. My challenge is they used a really CHEAP, THIN leather on the Seats and couch and they are tearing and peeling. They look terrible and will cost a fortune to recover. I checked out a really nice store in Santa Fe that sells covers....also expensive and not so sure I want the sheep/fur (whatever it is). They said it was cool in the summer and warm in the winter but they look like they might be hot in the summer. i like my floor, countertops and cabinetry, so I am lucky there. I just got back from my first trip. Spent a month and a half in New Mexico. I was very disappointed in RV Parks. I stayed in some nice ones but they ALL turned into cemeteries after 8:30 and people crawled into their own tin cans and called it a night. They were friendly in the daytime (reasonably) but no social anything at night. I thought there would be campfires and conversations, but not so :-( I was really disappointed in the lack of friendliness/social aspect of RVing so far. I felt lonely I did meet some nice people I am staying connected with but not that many. Not sure what I did wrong other than traveling alone.
Great and brave renovation. Your have turned the Classic into something more classical. Personally, once your did the fab bronze bathroom upgrade, I would have found some art-deco-esque fabric and used that for your pelmets and soffits , truly taking the Airstream back to its beautiful 1930s roots. For your next projext perhaps you can spray your car to match? V funny and interesting vid, thanks for sharing.
Nice decorating choices. It makes an awesome difference. Ours is a 1976, I am just finishing the utilities; and moving on to cosmetics is going to be fun. Please keep up with all the videos, my wife and I love to watch them.
Love what you have done. I have a new camper and found things I wanted to change to make it more my style and function and after a year have been slowly making those changes. I bought the camper primarily for a weekend get away but my brother asked about going on some trips so his family and I are doing a couple of trips a year. So far this year we went to Carter Caves KY had such a great time I want to do a fall trip.
my husband does the same thing at the grocery store like the thumbnail/faucet with cucumbers and tomatoes 😂😂😂 he would get along with this fellow famously
Browsing older videos, of your earlier times, and found this DIY Special. You may have missed a calling. :-) You both, and dad, did a wonderful job transforming 2003, into a new decade. I love your older videos too. (Love your, "AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE:", statement! Too funny.) Here's to your continued RV Travel success. Ted & Lee Ann
love what you have done with your airstream, we just bought a 31 foot and all ready started changing the inside , and its fun and I done fell bad with changing cause we got a used one, so now we are making it ours
Love your make-over on your trailer. My husband says I will paint anything that is still for too long. While I was excited about the possibility of re-doing a trailer, weight concerns pushed us towards a new mini lite. Nothing needs painting yet. You can stain your wood without sanding with a good gel stain. If you want to see it I can send you the link to my blog. Thanks for all the info. Traci
In 2 years we're pulling the trigger on the future, early retirement, selling almost everything except the 2 Greyhound, my car to use as a toad and buying a new or one year used Class A diesel pusher. At the top of the list is Thor's Tuscany, he get's his dishwasher, I get my washer/dryer, the dogs get floor space and we can can have some changes made to provide a dedicated office space should we find an area we want to stay in for a while and decide to freelance in our careers. The problem we're having with any of the Class A's we've looked at is color or lack there of. None of the fabric packages reflect our taste which is tropical water colors. We'll be writing a check for the motor home and then more checks to have fabrics replaced/recovered so I found your spray dye idea very interesting. I can paint, change out back splashes, door pulls etc so that's a non-issue. Thanks for the tip!!!
LOL, totally "get it"! Very nice upgrades. We're picking up our brand spanking new 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2670MK on friday, bringing it home for the weekend so my wife can dive in to "making her new dollhouse her own"
It all amazing but your chihuahua took it all I got one and love the way it raises it paw up so layer back too but that remodel was a great thing love it
Your updates with bronze fixtures make it look like my 2013 Classic. Our trailer has Moen residential faucets. I saw the exact faucet in your video when you were in the "big box home improvement store with the orange color scheme".
The update looks great. I enjoy all of your videos, the information gives me an education on the life in a trailer. I hope to some day enjoy. Cute play with the phallic faucet.
For anyone in the area of lower TN/Upper AL, Sirs' Fabric (Fayetteville, TN)is amazing for inexpensive, otherwise pricey fabric. The store is HUGE and it is easy to get overwhelmed...well, for me at least. They have a decent on-line store but a killer location with run-offs and cool things that I have seen on chairs at World Market. It is over an hour for me, so I gather all my projects and head there with a plan! There is a good all-you-can-eat buffet in town too, EEK!
I made a double take when I saw the intro picture. I Thought Kristy had yur jewels clad in "Airstream Aluminum " as part of the remodel 😂. And that faux metal that you used for the back splash can be ordered in many other pattern and color tints in addition to the in stock options .It also can be ordered in large sheets. I did my home kitchen back splash with it and almost did the ceiling. I think thats its intended use, to replace the old tin ceilings. There are lots of other places it goes well , just use some imagination its quit versitile.
Hi guys, We have a 1997 25; Safari and next year I will retire. We also want to re-do the interior as we have that same faux wood and bland colours. You have provided so many great ideas for us to update. I am like Kristy;s dad "pretty handy" and will do the work myself. Need to replace our floor too which is currently some type of sheet material like a kitchen floor. The carpet was removed by the previous owner. The idea of colouring the sofa is wonderful. Ours is similar to one you have. Take care and yes we may see you somewhere on the road. Keith
Thanks Keith, if we do any more updating we'll be sure to do a follow up video. Yes, the vinyl/carpet dye is good stuff! Also worked wonders on our valances. Just remember that it leaves a slightly rough texture, but can be brushed more smooth. You might test it on an area to see how you like it. Cheers!
Good video. I love to remodel. We have 2 chihuahuas and they love to treavel with us. We have done a few llittle things to our Wildcat like new kitchen fawcett and hooks and new foam in the upolstery. That really made a difference incomfort.
Lookin good yall! ....Much better! If you ever get near Spfd MO again let us know...We need to meet up! Make a stand for the old faucet and pass it on to others at rally's to pass it on to others. Like the keeper of the "Obvious Idol" :)
As newbies, Jeff and I have enjoyed watching and learning from your experiences and creative problem solving. I was delighted to find I could subscribe to your videos and to learn you have a Facebook page we can follow, and, perhaps, even communicate with you via same. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and boosting our courage to travel outside of our comfort zone. Also, since we did buy a used, FSBO, Airstream, we didn't get the education that is offered by dealers. Just wanted to let you know that we have followed many of your suggestions and will, no doubt, continue to benefit from the time and energy you have put into producing these videos. Thanks again, you are beginning to feel like family! We think your name is very sweet and clever too! And where do you get the cute T-shirts? ❤️ Donna
My new to me 03 has the same funny looking silver thing. Ive been afraid to touch it. But thanks to your channel I've decided to grab it and give it a twist.
You probably already know this, but I figured it would be worth mentioning: before you paint, it's a good idea to clean the surface you will be painting with a cleaning product such as TSP, and then rinsing it, before you put on a primer. The paint adhesion will be much improved if this step is done. Otherwise, you can be painting over invisible oils and dirt on the surface, which will cause the paint to easily come off. By the way, I love your videos! They have been so helpful to me as a new RVer! Thank you!
i think Baby Grrl has Sean whipped! LOL! love how many scratches she was getting through the whole video. My mom has a Baby Girl too and same size. got some great tips watching. thanks for sharing.
With the advent of the newer vinyl flooring, I think if I ever change flooring in an RV again - I did the same thing you guys did, laminate to replace carpet - I will go vinyl... it's flexible, very water resistant, and generally looks better than laminate as it's typically not shiny.
Looks great! Also some very economical fixes. I'd love to have an Airstream, but am content with my 13' Field and Stream.(worst part-no indoor potty) I've had it 10years and now need to do some major repairs, so will do the interior also. Thank you both for all of your videos and info. Happy travels.
+Long Long Honeymoon Hey folks! That was a very nice upgrade video. I wish I was as talented ( and motivated ) to come up with those kind of great ideas. The spruced up interior should make your future travels even more enjoyable. PS - I dare you to take that bathroom faucet to the next Air Stream meet up. It looks like a fertility idol!
I really like all of your videos.. This is my first trailer sort of terrified doing this,, but you to give me the confidence I'm looking for to start this life. Thank you so much.
Thanks much, no worries! You will do fine. There's a "newbie" playlist on our Channel home page that you may find helpful. Let me know if you run across questions that we may have missed. Safe travels!
Hey you guys! I have been following you because I really want an Airstream. And I love what you have done with yours..wow!Looking forward to seeing some more videos of your trips too.
Wow you're airstream it's amazing what a makeover,I know the only way I can afford an airstream to buy one that is used,I will definitely do my research before I purchase.
Thanks for all the great info! We've just started with a travel trailer this year and you guys have made it so much easier to get comfortable with the whole RV/trailer experience.
hey, much better than when you started on it..im slowly looking for an older clean shape airstream to buy eventually and fix up some myself..there not cheap !
Great video! Reading your book (Living Large in a Small Tin Can) now and it's a great read! My wife and I are considering going "full time" and are weighing the options between a TT, 5th wheel, or motorhome. I had never considered an Airstream before due to the cost. You have inspired me, however, to consider a route such as yours with a later vintage, used unit. I'd want to customize anything I got anyway, even if I bought new! I really like what you've done with yours!
Hi Scott and Kristy! I just found your TH-cam channel. I have a B Class rv but I am obsessed with Airstreams. Great job on the makeover, and yes I won't be looking at faucets the same ever again! LOL.
You don't have to sand the cabinets down. There's a Rust-Oleum product that basically acid etches your cabinets before staining. It works awesome as long as you're going darker.
as a boater right now,that is looking to sell my boat and go rving with my family. i really enjoy your park.lo memovideos. great info, and you two seem like really good people. and funny too. hopefully one day i can share a adult beverages with you at a rv. park
(internal monologue) "Wow, that thumbnail for the video really looks like a ... oh, oh, okay, they know." I should have known. ;) Thanks for the miles of smiles, folks!
Lol well guys that looks nice ,I look foward to all of your videos...you really did a great job.. and that faucet that was hilarious ...anyway be safe guys and look forward to your next video Thanks
Hi Guys, We love your show. keep 'em coming. We are newbies and we are just starting out. Thanks for your great advice on your show. Dom & Marianne Nuzzi from Connecticut.
Metal Hardware can be powder coated bronze and multiple other colors for little if any real money output . Including wood which requires UV lamp powder coating systems. If it can be removed it can be powder coated .average cabinets from a complete Airstream would take approximately 20 to 30 minutes to apply the powder and 20 minute cycle curing lamps
nice video....the wife and I live in a 2015 pinnacle...so not modified ..lol..but I am changing out my 2012 Lance 855s (slide out truck camper)..taking dinette out and putting in some chairs and small table...enjoy your videos...mmmm might not need T.V. when I can just watch you two...be safe..and fun traveling:)
I love your videos and your new decor is fantastic! I think you should mount the old faucet and hang it as art! Oops, that didn't sound right, lol. Are you goin to change out the kitchen faucet also? would love more videos, y'all are fun to watch and so natural.
Thanks, +April Tatum! We actually changed out our kitchen faucet a couple of years ago after the original starting leaking, but just forgot to mention it in the video. Oops!
Great video. I've just purchased my first 5th wheel camper, or first camper ever, and have subscribed and learned a lot so far. Keep up the great work.
Great tip on the upholstery dye. I don't know why that has never crossed my mind as I've used it on cars for years. It was a real face palm moment for me. Maybe the mauve will finally die this year 1988-2017. Mauve has had a good run.

Yes I get it!
I live full time in a 2000 Bounder 36s MH. First I had the CARPET replaced in the toilet room and beige porcelain tile put down. Also a new beige porcelain toilet. Love it
Then I built a computer desk behind the passenger seat where the old recliner was. New countertops and new sink and faucets. Painted the bedroom and bath walls turquoise and the liv/kit light gray. Cabinets are same as yours.
Tiled kitchen and bath with gel peel and stick mosaic tiles. Sofa is gone. Looking for new one soon. New Alure flooring going in this week and redoing the dinette cushions. New drain lines on my frig. Repaired the light and reinstalled my ice maker. Almost a new frig now. Recovering my dinette seats will complete the makeover. What an amazing difference!
I love how Kristy is very fashionable and glamorouse durring the sitdown portions of the video, but isn't afraid to post the cuts of her without make up and just down to earth and working.
So, we are patiently waiting for our 2016 Airstream to be built, and have watched your videos often, getting more eager every day. At the end of this one Sean said subscribers "get it." Well, we got the jokes and site gags and appreciate the humor and the effort you both put into the shows. Thanks. When we finally start hauling, we will look for you on the road.
my wife and i are new campers and love the lifestyle now , your video not only being very informative are funny and a joy to watch , keep up the good work guys
You guys are awesome. I don't have an airstream, but your clips apply to all RV'ers. Thanks for your ideas.
That was very cool and it goes to show how a little it takes to change the looks and function of a travel trailer. Your lifestyle choice is inspiring to us all who want to do the same thing in the future

My opinion.... Best video yet. The time you both take in making quality videos is unmatched. My wife and I at the Kelly Corner thoroughly enjoy your work. We have a RV and hope to one day come across both of you in our adventures.

Great video! The one thing I wouldn't have thought of is that we would need an RV specific faucet for our bathroom.
Nice decorating choices. It makes an awesome difference. Ours is a 1976, I am just finishing the utilities; and moving on to cosmetics is going to be fun. Please keep up with all the videos, my wife and I love to watch them.
Thanks John! More vids on the way!
Thanks for the creative ideas for redecorating my RV -- very inspirational. I enjoy learning how so many people put their personal stamp on their RVs.

I love watching you 2. You are a perfect couple!!! Even though I can't travel now I'm so glad people get too. I think that's so amazing!!!

What an ambitious project. Excellent teamwork and an outstanding finished product. Looks great!
I like what you did to the inside of your Airstream. We need to spruce up some areas of our Gulf Stream.. So, thanks for the video.
LMAO!! The absolute very first thing I (sadly), thought of when I saw the opening. Had no idea what it was. Very funny.
LOL, totally "get it"! Very nice upgrades. We're picking up our brand spanking new 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2670MK on friday, bringing it home for the weekend so my wife can dive in to "making her new dollhouse her own"
Thumbs up! The new hardware looks great, as does the backsplash and painting. All of it, really, great job! :)
I'm glad i found out what that "thing" on the thumbnail was. I was thinking it was gonna be a different type of video....LOL
👍 Great way to get clicks too!! That thumb nail...I was like.. wait a minute 😳😳 Terrific ideas. I love your puppy! So cute.
It all amazing but your chihuahua took it all I got one and love the way it raises it paw up so layer back too but that remodel was a great thing love it
Now that I know Seans sense of humor, it took me about 2 seconds to pick up on the phalic faucet screenshot. Well done, sir.
Instablaster.
Nice job. Did not know they made that kind of fabric paint in a can. Great idea.
Terrific episode Sean & Kristy! Only I was hoping to see how you polish that old faucet......keep up the great work! Your videos are terrific!
Wow! You guys did a great job. It looks like a million bucks on a beer budget. Baby Grrl is a charmer. :)
Your updates with bronze fixtures make it look like my 2013 Classic.
Our trailer has Moen residential faucets.
I saw the exact faucet in your video when you were in the "big box home improvement store with the orange color scheme".

The paint adhesion will be much improved if this step is done. Otherwise, you can be painting over invisible oils and dirt on the surface, which will cause the paint to easily come off.
By the way, I love your videos! They have been so helpful to me as a new RVer! Thank you!
VERY NICE WORK ON THE INSIDE OF THE AIRSTREAM...... STEVE
Awesome Job with the inside of the airstream.... Hope to see you out there...
You did a great job. Looks brand new.
Another great video - down to earth, informative and entertaining. Best trailer videos on youtube.
i think Baby Grrl has Sean whipped! LOL! love how many scratches she was getting through the whole video. My mom has a Baby Girl too and same size. got some great tips watching. thanks for sharing.
All together now for the puppy, Awwwwwwwwwww............
Nice job Christy (looks like you & your Dad did most of the work) nicely done & enjoyable video, as usual, Thx, Craig
Baby girl stole the show great paw action
With the advent of the newer vinyl flooring, I think if I ever change flooring in an RV again - I did the same thing you guys did, laminate to replace carpet - I will go vinyl... it's flexible, very water resistant, and generally looks better than laminate as it's typically not shiny.
Looks great! Also some very economical fixes. I'd love to have an Airstream, but am content with my 13' Field and Stream.(worst part-no indoor potty) I've had it 10years and now need to do some major repairs, so will do the interior also. Thank you both for all of your videos and info. Happy travels.
Does that faucet come with batteries? Yet another great video!
Wow, looks great what you've done, not to much, but just enough. I've seen others do " an improvement" and ends up bad, again looks great guys
I do gotta say I wasn't sure about the video thumbnail.. And this Award Goes to... Bahaha! Loloho indeed!!
+Long Long Honeymoon Hey folks! That was a very nice upgrade video. I wish I was as talented ( and motivated ) to come up with those kind of great ideas. The spruced up interior should make your future travels even more enjoyable.
PS - I dare you to take that bathroom faucet to the next Air Stream meet up. It looks like a fertility idol!
I really like your choices--the trailer looks great. Thanks for posting.
I really like all of your videos.. This is my first trailer sort of terrified doing this,, but you to give me the confidence I'm looking for to start this life. Thank you so much.
Thanks much, no worries! You will do fine. There's a "newbie" playlist on our Channel home page that you may find helpful. Let me know if you run across questions that we may have missed. Safe travels!
Hey you guys! I have been following you because I really want an Airstream. And I love what you have done with yours..wow!Looking forward to seeing some more videos of your trips too.
Wow you're airstream it's amazing what a makeover,I know the only way I can afford an airstream to buy one that is used,I will definitely do my research before I purchase.
Thanks for all the great info! We've just started with a travel trailer this year and you guys have made it so much easier to get comfortable with the whole RV/trailer experience.
Just found y'all! Lot's of great ideas and cool products! And I love your Baby Girl...she is so precious and loved...warms my heart! :)
hey, much better than when you started on it..im slowly looking for an older clean shape airstream to buy eventually and fix up some myself..there not cheap !
Great video! Reading your book (Living Large in a Small Tin Can) now and it's a great read! My wife and I are considering going "full time" and are weighing the options between a TT, 5th wheel, or motorhome. I had never considered an Airstream before due to the cost. You have inspired me, however, to consider a route such as yours with a later vintage, used unit. I'd want to customize anything I got anyway, even if I bought new! I really like what you've done with yours!
Hi Scott and Kristy! I just found your TH-cam channel. I have a B Class rv but I am obsessed with Airstreams. Great job on the makeover, and yes I won't be looking at faucets the same ever again! LOL.
lol Scott. That's Mr. Scott, to you
You don't have to sand the cabinets down. There's a Rust-Oleum product that basically acid etches your cabinets before staining. It works awesome as long as you're going darker.
You guys did a great job! Looks like a million!
Wow! That came out beautifully!
as a boater right now,that is looking to sell my boat and go rving with my family. i really enjoy your park.lo memovideos. great info, and you two seem like really good people. and funny too. hopefully one day i can share a adult beverages with you at a rv. park
(internal monologue) "Wow, that thumbnail for the video really looks like a ... oh, oh, okay, they know."
I should have known. ;) Thanks for the miles of smiles, folks!
Lol well guys that looks nice ,I look foward to all of your videos...you really did a great job.. and that faucet that was hilarious ...anyway be safe guys and look forward to your next video Thanks
Hi Guys, We love your show. keep 'em coming. We are newbies and we are just starting out. Thanks for your great advice on your show. Dom & Marianne Nuzzi from Connecticut.
Metal Hardware can be powder coated bronze and multiple other colors for little if any real money output . Including wood which requires UV lamp powder coating systems. If it can be removed it can be powder coated .average cabinets from a complete Airstream would take approximately 20 to 30 minutes to apply the powder and 20 minute cycle curing lamps
nice video....the wife and I live in a 2015 pinnacle...so not modified ..lol..but I am changing out my 2012 Lance 855s (slide out truck camper)..taking dinette out and putting in some chairs and small table...enjoy your videos...mmmm might not need T.V. when I can just watch you two...be safe..and fun traveling:)
Anthropologie has some great looking cabinet pulls.
I love your videos and your new decor is fantastic! I think you should mount the old faucet and hang it as art! Oops, that didn't sound right, lol.
Are you goin to change out the kitchen faucet also? would love more videos, y'all are fun to watch and so natural.
Thanks, +April Tatum! We actually changed out our kitchen faucet a couple of years ago after the original starting leaking, but just forgot to mention it in the video. Oops!
Great job! Love the vintage postcard idea! Baby Girl is adorable!
Excellent! Looks more like home ... really enjoy watching your vids ... safe travels!
Love your sense of humor it’s the best
Awesome work !! Awesome video ! That must have taken forever to get all that video footage together and then narrate it. Great Job !
Love your remodel ideas. The colors are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Annie Sloan chalk paints work great on slick surfaces with little or no priming.
Great video. I've just purchased my first 5th wheel camper, or first camper ever, and have subscribed and learned a lot so far. Keep up the great work.
Great tip on the upholstery dye. I don't know why that has never crossed my mind as I've used it on cars for years. It was a real face palm moment for me. Maybe the mauve will finally die this year 1988-2017. Mauve has had a good run.
