INSTALLING ROT PROOF SUBFLOOR in our Vintage Airstream! (Ep.7)

We are installing Coosa Board (a composite material that will never rot) into our vintage, 1973 airstream! Our airstream shell off restoration has been delayed due to weather so we are very happy to get back to work. Our original subfloor of our airstream is rotted and a piece of garbage! This is the step by step process of replacing a subfloor with coosa board.

*OUR STORY*
We're Meghan & Matt, two travelers from the United States on a journey to travel 1,000,000 miles! For 2 years, we lived in our self converted van and traveled all over North America! During this time, we caught the travel bug, HARD. So we set a goal to travel one million miles! Now, we’re hiking, biking, driving, flying and even training around the world to discover as much as possible! Recently, we sold our van and packed up our lives into bags and boarded a one way flight to Europe, leaving behind no house, no car and not even a house/car. Now we are embarking on our toughest project yet, renovating a 1973 Airstream!

[MikeSmith-icxo]

Good job, you're making progress. 😎

[Clatterbear]

I’m so excited for y’all! Can you share how you kept your original subfloor so intact to use as a template? We’d like to do the same (except for the back which is even more water damage than yours 🥴)

[phosawelonewolf]

Lota work. I know you will get it done and have fun breaking it in. 😬

[austinroberson]

Fixing to do a AS restoration and just wanted to know what thickness y’all went with. Wondering about how much just the Coosa board costs were?

[quinndaly]

loved this. about to do the same thing! what sensors and heating pads did yall use for your tanks??

Next time if you're ever having the fiber glass in your skin problem again. When I used to do auto body collision work, I found that if you apply tape to the affected area and rip it off, it pulls the fiber glass out of your skin. There would be no way in hell you can pick it out because of how fine they are. Use very sticky masking tape, I don't recommend using duct tape for painfully obvious reasons lol. I've also heard people using lint rollers as well.

Hey guys great video. Question since they sponsored your video did they give you the equipment for free?

[setag]

Hot glue gun and cardboard are the easiest ways to make a solid, rugged template.
