Obligatory Resolutions: Airstream Goals for the New Year
The biggest task I have planned for this spring is to replumb the entire trailer with Pex plastic tubing. The plumbing has never worked 100%, and there is a leak in one of the drainpipes. To fix this I will need to remove part, or perhaps the entire, belly plate to reach the pipes. Once I remove the belly I might as well sand and paint the frame to halt the considerable rust. My goal is to have this work done by April so I can have the trailer ready to bring to whatever campsite we choose in May and camp most weekends in the summer.
Repairs for later in ‘08:
- Replace refrigerator
- Replace air conditioner
- New lighting (probably some track lighting from Ikea)
- New, quieter vents
- New inverter, to help charge the battery

I like your common sense approach … functional plumbing is a must. All work on older structures is normally a can of worms.
