       Title Page:

       This 1960s Tradewind is rough and dirty but is a good candidate for a smooth restoration because it retains all the original windows, its panels are in great shape, and the chassis, including the coupler, looks straight. This unit does, however, have split rims, so an axle replacement and new tires/rims should be planned.

       Top:

       This camper is ready for its original skin to be replaced. Before that work begins, the masking is removed and the walls are brushed off and vacuumed to remove any loose foam and particulates to help prevent air-blown debris while the panels are worked into place.

       Middle Left:

       If your wish is for a fully custom interior, you can often find someone else’s abandoned project for cheap. This Airstream arrived fully gutted and ready for a custom interior design.

       Middle Right:

       The heat shield is in position to check for fit. I did not have a large enough piece to make it out of one sheet. It was constructed out of two and joined using rivets.

       Bottom:

       A wood-burning stove in this Airstream provides heat and ambiance, a unique feature that you do not find on a production camper. Both the galley and bathroom are split into two sections. There are no overhead cabinets, which lends to the feel of an open space. (Photo Courtesy Joe Roberts, Abaci Photos)
