Jesse J Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 So about 3 weeks ago my dad and his gf bought a 1998 25' airstream and named it moonbeam as well as a 2019 trd tundra to pull it as a replacement for the old 4runner (my dad is a teeyota guy). the owners bought it used it 2 times then parked it and it promptly became a home to a bunch of rats who like eating wiring so they got a good deal on it. so next to none of the wiring works trailer brakes included so that is priority number one. my dad has pulled off the 2 aluminum sheets underneath covered in rat poo and and today we pulled the tank plastic things to clean those and get at the wiring. My dads gf is going to mostly re model the interior witch includes from what I head pulling of the vinyl headlining thing to the bare aluminum, replace the carpet with black penny round lick and stick, and paint all the ugly wood panels grey or something. should be a nice little camper. Ignore all the crappy pics and tools everywhere these where taken hastily today during a break. they have the back "bedroom" stripped to how its gonna be they are going to remove all that adhesive and kinda polish it. The entire interior needs to come out so this it a project for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse J Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Yeah for sure. Idk why they are cutting it up it is a little ugly but full resto is great. Will be good when done though. I am mostly going to be using it as a toilet and shower because there won't be a place for me to sleep inside so pack a tent or a tarp I guess. Hopefully gonna take it down to moab for the takeover if the takeover happens. We'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse J Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 well flooring is in and the solar is wired up so are the tanks. We just need to finish putting the 6 volt batterys in and button it all up and memorial weekend we are taking it on it's inaugural trip down south. We got a topper on the tundra for the dog as well.
