I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

It is shiny! 6-gallon black water tank? So you'd be emptying it about every other day...no thanks.

I would think after the time and money invested in the restore, 59,500 was less than he expected.

That's a fabulous restoration! Here's ours. Super Duty, you should make it out to Alumapalooza in Jackson Center if you ever get the chance. ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/4679/25554665398_0acdb009cd_c.jpg)

We had an unrestored 1966 26’ Airstream Overlander. Had it on deer leases for 20+ years. Probably the only thing with wheels that sold for more than we paid. I’d have gotten another one, but the wife insisted on slideouts.
The wife insisted on our buying that old Airstream because it had a bathtub. That sealed the deal, and I had to pay.
Nothing better than listening to rain on the airstream roof. Great memories were made in there.

Looks like a sweet ride, scrolled through a couple of pictures do not have the patience to go through 470 pictures.

I had a 31' Excella. 1983 model, IIRC. I hadn't used it and rats got in it and chewed some wires. I bought it from my dad. I never did anything with the title before he died. It was in his name and his buddies name who was also deceased. Title was obviously fixable, but I didn't want to mess with it. I sold it way too cheap just to be done with it. It was all original except for the fridge. I wouldn't of hesitated of toting that thing anywhere.

Who ever was the guy that redid that, has some serious skill. That paneling he did is pretty special as screw ups on that type wood are $$$$$$
Cool build. Underbelly was impressive too. Might be close to the fist mouse proof trailer I’ve seen
