@AZExpert5 жыл бұрын
I am so sorry for the dealy, KZbin just sent me a slew of comments today from 3 weeks ago. This trailer had a rubber torsion axle so it could not be lifted, some torsion axles have adjustable spindles though. As far as the frame goes, these Airstreams have minimal structure and bracing so putting a tank below the floor would take a great deal of effort and still be very close to the ground. The black tank came from the factory above the floor, but there was no gray tank, so I just did my best. I can see if I can track down some photos of the frame and share them. Good luck with your build. Thanks!!

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. With vintage Airstreams the rule of thumb is the bigger the trailer, the less expensive they are. These Bambis are quite well sought after and can be $10 to $20k in bad shape. This owner wanted an exceptionally well outfitted Airstream and put quite a bit of extra into it, but it was a lot of money just in materials and appliances. Doing the work yourself will save money, but there's really nothing easy or cheap with vintage trailer restorations....no matter what some youtubers might say. The small size makes it seem like a couple weekend project, but it will take 1 to 2 years for a project like this. My best advice is to really assume the worst case scenerio and remember that once demo has started the RV has little resale value until it's finished. Good luck!

Don't want to know the man hours into this - the trailer is as old as I am. A lot of talent evident, and a Great use of smaller space. That #G.D. generator (vs. possibly a smaller Honda 3000) is a question when one wants some peace and quiet beside a stream in the forest but I get that AC might be the owner's priority above all. I kept thinking about choices - Basecamp 16x vs. the '61 Bambi. I think the Bambi actually has a smarter layout for sleeping. Our parents' generation built trailers with a simpler idea of camping in mind - just like their smaller garages for smaller cars, in the 50s and 60s. This one seems to have just the basics you need and that awesome style. Or you could always go and buy a used classic 30 for about the same price... hmmmm

I am a huge fan of small trailers so I like the Basecamp, but I think the new Bambi are more livable and functional. Rear entry's small trailers makes it difficult with more than one person as it's basically a hallway. Thanks!

Of course its much easier when the interior is gutted ;) However, even with all the work and a lite 9k BTU polar cub A/C, the rear of the A/C unit still deformed the roof underneath and created a low spot which water eventually worked through and dripped. So the second time I had to add more bracing under the rear of the unit and seal the seams intensely. Thanks!

As the designer of the floorplan, trying to incorporate the needs of the owner, available space and original layout(ie holes in the roof), I disagree that it is a horrible floorplan. Even comparing it to a modern Bambi, 65% is the same. While a full sized bed is great for camping, it limits hosting, sitting, and conversation space for people when tailgating at a game as the dinette is the only sitting area. Most people feel uncomfortable sitting on other people's bed. I also strongly believe that bathrooms in tiny trailers are rarely used as much more than closet space. Thanks!

I love the choice of grey (wool/linen ?) slubby fabric with red piping on the cushions and the metal trim on the wood cabinetry. You have retained the wonderful 'retro' aesthetic of the 1960's but totally brought the electronics into the 21st Century. The choice of grating you have laser cut over the a/c vents and dinette light fittings is perfect too. What a wonderful 'refreshing' of this Bambi. Thank you for taking the time to film this. I have noticed that You Tuber armchair 'experts' get very anal when it comes to toilets in campers - constantly complaining about proximity to either eating/sleeping/ accessibility ad nauseum. I would be grateful to have the option (if needed) as long as it was as well designed as yours is. Great for hanging wet outdoor gear to dry/extra closet space too.

Maurice, what are you, a little girl? You're camping! Go outside and find a tree!

I just redid my 62 globetrotter airstream, really like the white wall tires! Please see my videos.

Thanks, there is a great debate in the vintage trailer world about the white walls. I mean they really improve the look, but the cost is huge especially with two axles. They also have softer sidewalls because they a mostly for cars......hence the debate. I recently tried a white wall paint from Iceland and will be posting a video on that soon. So far I am quite happy with the paint!

I don’t see the hype in these like what makes them so expensive?

That genny is a nogo...... so loud

It is pretty loud for its size especially compared to a Honda, but there is no setup or tear down needed, and the self-contained "cool factor" does make up for it. Thanks!

Chatty. He likes his own voice. Vid could have wasted half of our time, and some of us would have saved it, or at least not ended early. Trailer is great though.

Sadly, I do not like the sound of my own voice but thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the trailer!
