Airstream Renovations to Update Your Travel Rig With Modern Features and a Custom Design

Construction & Contractors Blog

If you have an old Airstream, it may need to be restored. The restoration of your travel rig can be a great opportunity to add modern features and customize the design. The following ideas are some of the solutions you can talk to an Airstream restoration company about for your RV:

Chassis and Mechanical Systems

The chassis is an area that you want to update when doing restorations to your caravan. There are options for improving the frame, as well as improvements that can be done to mechanical installations, including:

  • Protective coatings for the frame and chassis
  • Upgraded axles with brake systems for trailers
  • Updated hitch and taillight connections

The mechanical upgrades help improve the comfort, safety, and performance of your caravan. You can ask the restoration service about options to upgrade the hitch and brake connections for better handling when you are towing your Airstream.

Plumbing and Water Storage Tanks

The plumbing and water storage solutions can also be updated when restoring your RV. Some of the options for improvements to the plumbing systems include:

  • High-pressure pumps and water lines
  • Tanks for potable water
  • Tanks for blackwater
  • Greywater storage and recycling (reuses water from sinks and appliances for toilet)

The plumbing upgrades can provide your RV with more comforts and improve systems with solutions like greywater recycling.

Interior Finishes and Storage Solutions

Interior finishes are also going to need to be installed and can be updated during the restorations. Upgrades to consider for the new interior and storage solutions include:

  • Lightweight composite paneling and cabinets
  • Light frames for interior features
  • Updated LED lighting
  • New RV appliances

Interior finishes can be lighter to help improve your RV performance for fuel savings. There are also options to add solar energy to power things like lighting and small electronics in your Airstream.

Electrical Wiring and Communications

There are also the wiring and communication systems that you want to have installed in your RV. Some of the options for upgrades to the wiring and communication systems that you may want to ask about include:

  • Conventional outlets and converter system
  • Low-voltage solutions for modern electronics
  • Satellite and cellular systems for Internet and modern communications

The additional cellular and satellite systems can give you modern broadband Internet for business and entertainment.

The renovations for your Airstream can be great for a modern design. Contact an Airstream restoration company to discuss these options to prepare your travel rig for summer.

Leaking Roofs and Roof Repairs

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
