The Airstream is a true classic of American road travel. And if you have a vintage trailer parked in your garage or backyard, we know exactly what to do with it. Airstream restoration usually includes both interior and exterior renovation. But the first step is deciding how you plan to use your trailer. The interior design for a trailer built for travel will differ from one intended as a backyard feature. You can check out an example of a stylish summer in our gallery. And here, we’ll walk you through how we handle body and roof repair for vintage Airstream trailers.
Airstream Body and Roof Repair
Where We Start
First, we carefully inspect the condition of your Airstream. We identify weak spots that need to be repaired or replaced. After that, we outline the full scope of work and discuss the best restoration options with you. This helps us create a clear plan that matches your goals, budget, and the way you want to use your trailer.
What Airstream Roof Repair Includes
If the roof has old vents, an outdated AC unit, or antennas, we remove all of them. We take off any aluminum panels that are damaged, then install brand-new sheets. After that, we seal every joint and connection to ensure the roof is fully protected. To maintain a comfortable climate inside the trailer, we install a new AC unit. Finally, we check the entire surface for leaks and structural issues.
What Airstream Body Repair Includes
Airstream body repair starts with restoring key exterior elements.
- We reseal all windows, doors, and exterior joints to protect the trailer from moisture.
- We install new exterior lights or upgrade the old ones for better visibility and safety.
- After that, we check the whole Airstream body to make sure everything looks good and works the way it should.
And What About Polishing
Want your vintage Airstream to shine like new? Then we’ll take care of the full polishing.
- We buff the surface to create a smooth, shiny finish.
- Then we carefully polish all rivet areas so the trailer has an even, mirror-like look without dull spots.
- After that, we apply a protective coating that helps the aluminum stay bright for a long time.
