Hinge the bathroom door out, but slice the door vertically and hinge that as well so it's a bifolding door. It's a proper spacesaver.

[@MTRDave]

My grandfather done this in his home. He took the door off the hinges, found centre and used a tracksaw to cut the door vertically. Sanded and cleaned up the exposed edged and put hinges on. Made it a bifolding door which made it fit the area it was in so much better.

[@gcranston83]

Plus one for the bi-fold door.

[@jbbresers]

A Long Sturdy Piano Hinge should do the trick.

[@RobertEchten]

Came here to suggest the same...👍

[@samnicholls2217]

Had the same thought, probably the best option.

[@FreiluftJunky]

Always hinge those doors out, because if something happens to the person in the bathroom, you may not be able to help, because they block the door and you can't open it

[@walton905]

good point.

[@blackwing2607]

That’s an important safety feature. Plus, it looks there is more space in the hallway outside of the bathroom.

[@jamieb6137]

FYI a lot of RV ovens are notorious for burning the bottom of everything you put in them. You can get a pizza stone in the bottom of it to help distribute the heat. The Air Stream is looking great and your family will love it!

[@steelsunpi]

Yep. An upside down cookie sheet will also work in an emergency.

[@JoeR203]

Now that the Airstream is back, we need more treehouse!

[@lechatbotte.]

A thing of beauty. A copy of Jason is just what I need. RV a is any recreational vehicle. One with a motor is a motor home. Your RV is a trailer but RV is applicable

[@BruceMusto]

I feel you on the throw pillow thing sir, I feel you.

[@danielhastings3167]

Maybe use an accordion-style door for the bathroom

[@sunderark]

It's terrible with odor.

[@Sendrim]

Depends on how you make it, hah! 😊 ​@@sunderark

[@hscharft]

For the bathroom do a Double hinged door. So a door split down the middle and reattach the two halves with a piano hinge. We hafe those on our yacht and they work like a charm. That also makes it possible to hinge it to the inside

[@Ngry_W]

I love how your woodwork channel has developed into a reality tv show almost. Love it, one of my favourite channels 😊

[@chriscutress1702]

You need a fan for your bathroom that pulls the air out of the trailer and evacuates to the outside of the unit. Most Travel Trailer bathroom doors swing into the trailer as there isn't enough room in the bathroom for the door to swing into the bathroom. Vinyl tiles work great for trailer flooring. Easy to clean and easy to modify in the future if you want to change the flooring later. Use spray contact cement to attach to the wood underlayment.

[@robertarnold6290]

Thank you thank you thank you. Your video about spontaneous combustion is priceless. For 40 years I have been TERRIFIED of exactly that. I have spring clamps hanging the rags from a metal bar in mid air for days before the garbage collector comes. You confirmed all my suspicions. I so very much appreciate your time and effort to test all of this and you have my respect and gratitude. Rock on Bro. Robert Hippie Guitar Shop Lincoln, NE

[@j.chappel1160]

With regard to the bathroom window, I would consider getting one of those window frosting kits, so you still get the light, but you’re not on display to the campground. 😅

[@shannabolser9428]

That's why there is a retractable shade. If not in a campground you might want to look at the scenery while sitting.

[@ResaleRabbit]

I’d look into a bifold door or accordion door for the bathroom

[@Raymond-Gibb]

Look into a Tambour door. It could be utilised as a pocket door as it's so thin. Used a lot in camper conversions and kits are readily available.

[@TheDrblu]

I promise I didn't steal your idea I commented before reading any... great minds just think alike

[@Sarah-cq1vb]

You should install a bar or wire in the cabinets at a height that you can still get things in and out of the cabinets but keeps items in the cabinets from sliding into the cabinet doors. If things can slide in the cabinets while your driving they can still spill out of the cabinets despite the latches It also keeps things from falling out on to you once you have stopped and you open the cabinet. You can make these to slide up or down out of the way when not in use. Or just make it removable

[@toddgermain8531]

You should paint the floor with an epoxy garage floor paint. Also do a roll-top desk type door for the bathroom.

[@aussiecro.]

Go and look at some larger motor boats and see how the wet area is sorted..that will tell you the best approach to use for that. Suggest an epoxy based floor covering which would be functional as well….

[@abbotteo077]

wwwoooowww Loved the drone shots. I know that a woodworking channel doesn't have a need for it but you've made good use of it!!! Kudos!

[@beckerthe]

You could do a sliding door on the inside for the bathroom. Tambour style with a hanging track on the top and a guide track on the bottom. It could curve in on right back to the sink cabinet or all the way to the outside wall. Have a sweep on the bottom and gaskets around the door frame. The door can go past the opening on the toilet side for a stop and latch bar for the door.

[@jessipandarawr]

For the bathroom door: Left hand outward swing. You want it to open outwards in case something happens to a person inside, they could end up falling in front of the door and block it. Left hand so that it opens towards the main area and makes it easier to get in and out instead of towards the bedroom where you won't have much room to turn.

[@BrainSlugs83]

The bathroom door in an RV (or sometimes a boat) is usually an accordion door. Or like a 2 or 3 panel door with hinges between the panels, so they don't fold out so far into the walkway.

[@jasonlong8754]

If you're going to paint the floors, I might look into something like an epoxy based paint. Durable, stain resistant, and isn't going to wear and require repainting every year or two. Plus, most come with little flecks you sprinkle on, adding to the retro look.

[@bah7797]

For the bathroom door, build something that will stay in line with the walls. With the floor plan you have, any sort of hinged door is going to impede moving around the air stream. I did see others mention either an accordion door or a tabor door. With how nice everything looks, I would suggest tabor since accordion doors generally look cheap since they are made of plastic. Plus, with your skills, you can make the tabor look like the pocket door that you'll be building for the bedroom when closed.

[@flowerstone]

Doors in a trailer are a pain. We switched ours to a bifold. Doesn’t get in the way and we have a great exhaust fan. I could see where a small double door would work in your trailer. They could open without completely blocking the walkway.

[@craigferri4122]

definitely left-hand out-swing on the bathroom door...also, adding some vertical spines to the bathroom side of the wall and its door will give you all the rigidity you need in on that 3/4" thick wall...Looks great!!

[@markhulette6987]

Glad you're back RVin'! Something to consider (especially if you'll be camping where the temps get above about 80 degrees) is a way to get your A/C into the back bedroom. I didn't see any openings beside the door- if it's shut, no coolio. We've had several motorhomes and live in the south so airflow is really important for a cool nights snooze. You may like to run a channel/vent along the ceiling to include vents back to the BR. Plus, your son may get cold while you all are more than toasty so vents are nice options to control the air output.

[@waltersmith6454]

LPG is liquid petroleum gas, it probably monitors your gas usage for your furnace and cook top.

[@TheDarkPreacher65]

Liquid Propane Gas, actually. Not too far off from what you said. The LPG monitor hooks into the tanks to see how full they are.

[@jeremiahbaker4489]

I think it is actually Liquid (or Liquified) Petroleum Gases. Propane is a LPG, so is butane.

[@paulhopkins1905]

​@@TheDarkPreacher65lol failed so confidently, it's liquified petroleum gas

[@lukaslange150]

LPG is Low Pressure Gas

[@paulhopkins1905]

@@lukaslange150 nope, liquified petroleum gas

[@lindab424]

Weren't you going to put a shower in the bathroom too? It is coming along very nicely.

[@StaceNyourFace]

I was wondering the same thing. 🤔

[@funnyriverred2501]

I would go with some vinyl floor planks like they use in RVs... easy to install and water proof... and if you have pets... their claws dont chew up the paint or make clicking noises like hard wood planks, easier to take care of and lasts a very long time!

[@bobbg9041]

18:42 buy commercial type dark silver tint for the windows, but remember even though the window has tint on it if its dark outside and the lights are on inside you can see in like a fishtank. So you will still need to pull the blinds. The silver type tint will blend in with the airstream look and it really helps with solar gain and heat loss.

[@scherre]

Glad to see more of this project! It's so close to being done. It looks amazing, you've got a great balance between keeping the retro feel while making it more modern and efficient inside.

[@edwardsimmons3721]

Awesome project. Can’t wait to see what the finished project looks like.

[@jimb1713]

For securing the side panels in the bedroom, consider using Hafele Button-Fix connectors. They’ll hold securely, are hidden, and you can still gain access for future maintenance.

[@georgeswahid4663]

Hahaha for a moment I felt that you are talking about my life 😂😂😂😂 I have the exact same issue with the pillows 🤣 this made my day am not alone anymore 😂😂😂

[@MulloyDIY]

This is one of my favorite projects you ever done. It’s functional and beautiful. Took you 3 days, I could do it in 3 weeks.

[@connahjones8178]

Here in the uk we would call it a caravan as it is towed, a motorhome (you call them RV’s) has a motor (basically a converted van type of thing)

[@rjlaxvespa1742]

In the mid fifties my mother bought an Airstream trailer got it all paid for.. dad graduated from Michigan State, accepted a job at Hughes aircraft, where they built the Spruce Goose... they towed it out here lived in it for several years in Culver City were the Jack in the Box -- is Sepulveda Boulevard... then they bought a house in the bedroom community of West Chester... they are really well-built it's probably out there somewhere still...LAXVESPA-LOSANGELES

[@LynetteBunBun]

for the bathroom have you thought of an accordian door. it compresses but also acts like a pocket door but is way more rv or trailer friendly

[@curtismills303]

Looks great. What about a bi- fold door for the bathroom?

[@JettaJack]

Just a question, but where is the shower in your luxury land yacht? Also, most “trailerers find that that oak plank linoleum (as seen in some newer airstream’s) is easier to clean than a painted floor. There’s a lot of dirt when camping in the woods! 😂

[@VZ.studios]

Propane fridge would have been a good idea to keep. Electric ones don't handle being bounced down the road very well.

[@steelsunpi]

Truth. We have a dual power one, but the electric part quit after a year. 5 years later and the propane still works.

[@erickdanielsson6710]

No the new electrics work great. Not an issue in travel.

[@paulsmith-wx9qz]

Airstream looks really nice yourself and the builders have done a great job.

[@mikedurkee7296]

Hey, I know zero about pulling a trailer, camping, and anything that resembles "roughing it" but dang that looks amazing.

[@jaximusprimrose6779]

Accordian Door, My grandparents trailer had one, worked well.

[@randaleaglestone1753]

Luxury vinyl planking works and look great - easy to install too. Lumber Liquidators or L&L Flooring. That's my 2 cents :).

[@migueltorres6073]

So exciting! Everything is looking so great, as expected. Can’t wait to see how you complete the bathroom.🤔

[@steelsunpi]

Ovens in campers are nice: 1) pot and pan storage 2) biscuits and gravy or cinnamon rolls in the morning (,great on a cool morning) 3) pot roast is a great camping meal, and leftovers last forever. We have a tradition of camping every Thanksgiving (almost 20 years now), and use the oven heavily then.

[@davidwilken3584]

After you flush your toilet with the FOOT petal slowly depress the petal to leave about an inch of water over the flapper valve. Doing this prevents gas from coming up from your black tank. Another major thing I’ld recommend is get in the habit of turning off your water pump when you leave your trailer. Good luck and happy trailering.

[@pecantreedesign]

The airstream is looking great, that bench is fantastic! I love the little touches, like how they worked your logo into the control panel, it does nothing but I bet it felt awesome to see

[@larryfarquhar8211]

I know you will love this suggestion! 🤣 But,….. Do the Airstream floors in Epoxy with those little flakey thingy’s like they put on garage floors! 😎 Well….. Just a thought!,,, 😳😳😔

[@Kaisondavis]

Our bathroom in Thailand is very small, the door swung in, and there wasn't really enough room to turn around. I cut the door in half and made it into a double door. It works well, and looks cool. Double door is the way to go bro.

[@jeffadams2916]

A travel trailer (which you have), motorhome, tent camper, truck camper, etc.. are all types of recreational vehicles (RV).

[@alfonsoPina]

that looks like it's going to be such a great time when you go camping. Good job whiskey fly

[@cmclaren7]

I truly appreciate your thoughts on the bathroom door. I would hinge out for safety reasons. Barn doors are the best for barns and NO WHERE ELSE. I'm a huge fan of pocket doors, but you can clearly see that is not an option. The Airstream is looking great. I would like to hear your foreman's thoughts.

[@PaleRider559]

RV is anything you'd use for Recreational purposes (Trailer or Motor Home)... like vacationing, camping or travelling. I live in a converted 1971 GMC Buffalo Coach (think old Greyhound Bus), but I don't consider it an RV, because I don't move it (or very seldom)... it's my permanent, "Stationary" Home. More like a Mobile Home, with a giant Detroit Diesel engine :D

[@bobbg9041]

The entrance door, i know you want this 1950-60's looking but id change the step to get in the airstream to automatic when the doors opened, I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to install the motorized step and wiring. AIRSTREAM looks awesome. You did a hell of a job. For just some guy with a few wood working tools.

[@allswellinendwell6957]

I know you didn't plan on it, but you can reconfigure it pretty minimally to use the sink water to fill the toilet when you're off grid. Then you can save your water and extend it's use.

[@jeffreycerasano6647]

Put 3/4 inch plywood squares under those jack stands. When/if it gets hot they will cut into the black top.

[@tomferrin1148]

Super cool drone footage as you crossed the bridge over the river! Really liked that shot.

[@PAG70]

I would suggest a Tambour style door, nice and light and also compact.. They are very popular with RV/Trailers 👍🏼

[@markduggan3451]

I'm looking forward to seeing you drive it over to the new property and working on that again. 😀

[@leonardlorriman7095]

In England we call them "caravans". Trailers are usually open topped boxes on wheels which are pulled along at the back of a van or car, {great video.)

[@barrysoper9183]

Great toilet - I have one in my cottage. There is a plastic valve by the foot pedal. Pull it out in the winter or you will have to replace it every spring. Easy to do but $35 (Cdn) on Amazon. Accordian or bi-fold door for the bathroom. Love the trailer and all of your videos.

[@kevc922]

[@williamsanders6092]

Please, no apology. It's not necessary. You explained why what happened, happened. It's great. I like watching you prevaricate. By the way, it looks great. I can't wait to see it completely finished and a camping trip video.

[@brucem1553]

Use Retractable shower door for restroom.. simulator to windows blinnds but vertical and seal good enough for shower so should be fine for restroom.

[@davem8972]

Do an angled corner door next to that kitchen cabinet into the bathroom? Right now you have plywood protruding but you could cut that back to the cabinet and put the angled door there. Hope that translates?

[@Hilmi12]

Folding hinged door for the bathroom door. Makes the door compact when it opens. Kind of like an aircraft toilet door

[@alanhiggins2928]

I’m a little underwhelmed with the bathroom area, I thought they might have the toilet backed up to the outside wall to give you enough room for a vanity and maybe a shower unit but you probably don’t have enough room for all that ! All the rest of it looks amazing and awesome, well done, great job!❤👍

[@bendooley550]

Lpg is liquid propane gas, i assume that meter measures variance on the 240psi standard after your DOT tanks cool naturally from heavy draw (running the shower, stove, and fridge if its propane powered will pull a lot of flow and freeze the tanks dropping pressure). I dont believe that sensor is hooked into any tanks with float level sensors like an ASME tank affixed to the trailer to tell you gallons left (or pounds depending on production state regs). You have a camper, not an rv. Trailers are solely for transport of things, not just where they sit on the vehicle. Anything towable with a sleeping quarters is known as a hauler if its primary function is to haul with the additional function of sleeping quarters. Car haulers haul cars and beds, toy haulers haul toys (atv, dirtbike, sxs) and beds, etc. Love the build series, cant wait to see the conclusion excursion. First time camping exposes all the things you didnt prep for or do right, but this seems like a solid build so itll likely be supply related. Cheers.

[@bendooley550]

Also, as a precaution, regardless of campfires or stove use, please have a CO sensor in the camper while youre out. Deaths are rare, but headaches and dizziness are common and nobody wants to attribute that to a night with a bottle of dalmore 12 if she did you no wrong.

[@kevincolwell2115]

A lot of classic airstrams had tambour doors on their bathroom cabinets so that they didn't swing into a tight space... Could be a neat touch and a good woodworking tutorial!

[@christbdavies]

I feel your pain on the throw pillows, in Blighty we call them “scatter cushions “. I think that sounds better.😉

[@ThomStricklin]

How about a curved tambour door? David Picciuto over at Make Something demo'd a pretty cool router but set for making an all-wood sliding door. Might be a great option for the space.

[@paulholgate4141]

for the bathroom door why not try a concertina type door sliding from left to the right, that could be more practical. you could even put little reliefs in the slats for light.

[@hdwoodshop]

For countertop next to toilet, make it hinge up so you can store TP and towels. Can be at level of window. Should look nice. Beautiful potential so far…

[@garmir]

LPG is for your propane level (if it hooked up of course) abbreviation of Liquefied petroleum gas. Or maybe you can have it for a “smelly” sensor in the head you are building so you know when to open that window 😅

[@bizzie1956]

Thanks for the beautiful Ranulia key ring it’s just fabulous

[@chuckschroeder4710]

I suggest you avoid hinged doors. The door opening into the aisleway blocks traffic. Also, when driving, you do not want the door swinging wildly and slamming back and forth. Rather, use a sliding accordion door.

[@RonLeedy]

Put a bi-fold door for the bathroom. You should be able to find outlets with USB-C that can swap in for the existing. Easy Peasy. Great looking trailer.

[@jewdd1989]

It’s beautiful! Thrilled to see the rest of it.

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

You could do a sliding door like on vans that opens like a barn door but seals flush when closed. Most likely harder to find hardware for that and implement it but sure you could pull it off. Both puns intended.

[@X_85]

A bi-fold door would work quite well I think. It's smaller, more compact, seals well too.

[@jgrywacheski]

The throw pillow rant..... preach brother!

[@167curly]

Welcome back to the Hibbs' Airstream trailer project. There are lots of fun places in Oregon to visit once it's fully operational, Jason.

[@R_Zelig_el]

[@davidhomen4528]

I was traveling to Bend back in the early 1990's, on the 97, in a rv towing a car. It started snowing, the roads started getting ruts from the ice, I touched the breaks, everything locked up and I slid for a second. I didn't give it anymore gas, and let the rig stop where it wanted to. It was dark, I went to sleep. When I woke up I was surrounded by 18 wheelers that seemed to be protecting me from any kind of danger. We waited for about an hour, then the roads were ok to drive on. Good thing you waited for spring!

[@Da0R30]

Best doors I’ve seen for bathrooms in camper trailers/RV have been Tambour Doors. Since you aren’t able to do a pocket door.

[@PorscheSpeedster-kz6nc]

You should install an aero kit on the two propane tanks in the front. Maybe clad it in polished aluminum.

[@theelmagoo]

Don't worry about the USB outlets, just get USB A to USB C cables, or you can buy simple adapters from A to C that are small, so no need to change them out. I'm planning a new desk for my office with built in power and I've contemplated the same thing, and I think I'm sticking with USB A sockets just because they're more flexible and ubiquitous. Great build!!!

[@frankdutton8448]

Hey, LPG stands for Liquid Petroleum Gas. Only you guys call it propane. Outside America, it's LPG. On the door to the bathroom, you can use a concertina door that is on a top track and hinged on one side. Another comment stated how to make one. But, the overhead track assists in ease of opening, stops the full door opening into the bathroom or hall, allows for lock adjustment in the future and sag at the lock side.

[@hitman036]

For the bathroom door, I think an accordion door would work with the space and fit the vintage theme of the decor.

[@sturcot]

For the toilet's door, you could opt for a custom sliding door where the front would be on a round rail and the back on the strait one so the door would travel and pivot. There might be a need for a bottom rail, but maybe you can pull this up :) Would leave some space for some storage cause it wouldn't hinder the door from opening... Well, whatever you choose is certainly will have been thought through! I'm enjoying your builds so I'm fine with whatever :D

[@GenealogyTV]

They make retractable doors like your window shades sideways.

[@fordmangtho351]

Use a concertina door for the bathroom door. It will take up less room and fit with the vintage look of the air stream

[@victorpapaavp]

Do you have plans to put in a shower in that bathroom, like a basin unit in the floor or something? Kinda go for an all in one setup?
