AIRSTREAM RENOVATION: Removing the Skins
Today we’re removing the inner skins on our vintage Airstream Argosy Trailer. This step will allow us to rewire, add new insulation and remove the shell from the frame.
RV Living & Tiny House Life is in our blood. This renovation project is the best way for us to upgrade our rig without going into debt!
We’re Kyle & Olivia, a young couple traveling the country full time in our vintage camper. We hit the road in September of 2015, with the goal to live a minimal lifestyle and connect with the world around us. We hope our experiences can inform and inspire others to pursue a life of passion and adventure. Join the Vibe Tribe as we discover the joys and obstacles of RV life!

The airstream isn't to heavy for your guys little ranger ??
You guys are bad asses!
I hope you check out Roxul or mineral wool for insulation. I don't have any experience with it but I like the information I've read about it.
Watch this video for insulation tips. See what he says about reflectix about 5:50 into the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVk8csC6OiM
Cold water before hot help get any fiberglass off skin 🙂
Thanks for your videos. I'm just getting started RVing and follow a few channels, your's being one of them. Love looking for weekly updates. Good luck on the rehab! Maybe see you on the road someday!

good progress!
Great teamwork.
Hey looks really good hope to see more
Good to see that there were no leaks in the outer skin. now you just have to keep the integrity of the outer skin while you finish your project. With what are you going to replace the insulation.
Can you put a piece of plywood down, hate to see you fall!
Where possible in the walls/ceiling I’d suggest using the rigid insulation it creates a good barrier between hot and cold. Aluminum siding will transfer heat/cold without it
I liked the pirate shirt Olivia was wearing at the beginning of the video and I saw you walking those planks while you were working. Â Great job!!
Coming along great guys! I feel for you having to reinstall a bunch of that later haha. Thanks for sharing! – Shane
Have you taken an estimate of how many rivets you’ve taken out?
Great video Guys!!! Thanks for sharing.
I wonder how easy it will be to get all those rivet holes lined up again? 😉
Put some plywood down on the floor joist so you do not hurt yourself. Doing a good job so far. Can not wait to seethe final product.
Great video! I’m hooked! Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Look at little Olivia diggin in! You go girl!
Bet you’re going to find why Airstream quality is one of the best, loved mine and sold it for what I paid after 8 years!
