Airstream Renovation Tour - Before & After - Was it Worth it for our Family of SIX?

[@heatherbeesley8752]

Oh my gosh, binge watching! It is so fun to look back at the earlier videos! The kids are so little! Love it!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Hey binger, we're glad you're here! Thanks for watching all our old stuff ❤️

[@faithrada]

Gotta say.. this whole set up just blows me away. Brilliant 👏 👏 👏

[@elwood212]

What an incredible labour of LOVE. Now I see all the brilliance behind the AIRSTREAM design details…wow they thought of everything. I love how they disappear on the landscape. Very low footprint. That aluminium craftsmanship is superb . I don’t think you could find a better talent to achieve yr results. Your a lucky man having such incredible parents and family of your own. We are so lucky to believe we can live the lives we dream of. Bless you for sharing what’s possible .🙏🇦🇺💕

[@yiayia100]

OMG, how much the kids have changed and grown, not to mention someone's hair, lol. Thanks for the wonderful tour. Having camped from tent to self-contained I sure can appreciate all of the awesome renovations you've put in place. Great job ‼️🏕️🚙

[@mccrosti]

I own a 72 Overlander, Spent about two years in restoration, fridge, oven, stove, AC all original. Updated structure, rear end separation, new plumbing updated to 60 amp converter, etc. Owned her for 8 years now, and used her a lot. I've watched probably all of the "commercial" videos out there, but this video tour was the best one I've ever seen! What a fantastic job you've done on your Sovereign, excellent use of space, wonderfully detailed in the video descriptions, and inspirational! Thank you!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Very cool that you were able to keep and restore the originals. Still wish we would have kept the old stove:) have fun out there!

[@TM-bd7nf]

Your organization is just unbelievable. I wish I could be 1% as well organized as you. Everything I try to do ends up looking like a giant bird’s nest!

[@michaelcanto6175]

Fantastic, the electric and electronics make me so jealous. The whole project screams for more info. Wonderful layout, fit and finish! One question though, you have 4 growing children, WHERE IS THEIR FOOD?!?!?!?

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thanks Michael! Yeah the organization on those electronics was a highlight for me, too. I love it! We have a 7.5 cubic foot fridge and plenty of counter space and pantry space. So far so good!

[@mkredenbaugh6322]

As I only discovered you all a couple of months ago, I am checking your early days! The kids have grown and I am thankful to find, for me, the back story!! Great renovation and it is fantastic at my 7+decades to see tiny, loving living.

[@debo4706]

Thumbs up for you both as parents , my kids would have driven me crazy being in such a tiny space.

[@macbeckett259]

What's cool is that it is so shiny it virtually looks see through with the reflection of the Earth and Sky.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Yes! We are so happy with the polish! Makes for some great photo opportunities!

[@freedombug11]

I love the way the kids were incorporated into the video in an unobtrusive yet beautiful and funny way!

[@paigeallisonhelena7016]

This is hands down one of the best renovations we have seen. You have a gorgeous family. Can’t wait to see more videos!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thanks Paige, that means so much :)

[@Mike-or2cv]

6 people, not much space, and everything is soooo clean *_* I love it!

[@sexylexie]

Can I just say how much I love this man, he gave respect to his in-laws for the time in the end the day put in to build his home he really is an inspiration because most young people don’t give credit to no one. And I know his home is going to be beautiful and everything they did for the love they have for each other..

[@chriswarren274]

It was so nice to go back and see how you lived and how cute the kids are! 💞

[@StoneKathryn]

This is a wonderful tour of the re-done Airstream. So many features in so small a space. I'm very impressed how beautiful it turned out. I love the fantastic fans you put on and how the antenna works. Nice pacement of the solar panels and all the solar power equipment and wiring. I'm glad you fixed all the running portions of the trailer. All the new axels, tires and lift kits are such a good idea to make new. My sister was very hurt when their RV tire blew and they rolled into the highway median at 75 miles per hour. Not good! Nice that you went with an electric freezer/refrigerator. If you have propane you have to make sure you are exactly level or it doesn't work so well. I love the sleeping spaces and all the bathroom arrangement. I never knew you could have a shower pole that could be moved in and out. It does look very homey and I'm so glad you got to bring the ruler from your house with you. I love all the stickers on the door and walls of all the places you visited. I like the home office. Amazing job on your tiny shiny home!

[@beverlyphillips8572]

This was so amazing and enjoyable...how you must have spent hours and hours...days and months even, planning every tiny detail because you certainly seem to have thought about everything. While you were 'touring' the kids sleeping area I became more and more alarmed wondering..."Where's all the clothes???" But you got to it in the very last segment..thank goodness haha. Great job and such an education on the road the kids are getting..unforgettable stuff that will stick with them for a lifetime.

[@freedombug11]

You're giving your kids such an amazing childhood!

[@autiemuse]

My husband and I never had the type of parental encouragement that y'all have shared here. This warms my heart -- I'm a mom of six grown kids, homeschooled, renovated two Victorian homes, now living full time in our tiny camper on our Alabama homestead! Thanks for your channel, guys! Sharon from Habitat Homestead Channel

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thank you so much!

[@Mindy56743]

The airstream is beautiful! What a beautiful conversation! This was completely breathtaking

[@feathersky860]

FANTASTIC WORKMANSHIP W/Your DAD an EVERYBODY 💙 🦅

[@Grvthangification]

Thank you for sharing your home with us. You've done such a beautiful renovation.

[@lmdyment]

What a feat of thought and engineering you did to design this home. Well done.

[@cbgb3369]

Brilliant. I’m seriously blown away at how you’ve fit 6 people’s worth of clothes in that little closet - that’s some expert level downsizing right there!

[@Back2GoodOG]

Wow! Very cool inside! Love the port hole windows! Love how the kids beds fold down to couches! Very impressed with the clothing closet and how minimal it is and love the bag organizers the clothes are in! I need to get the ambition to remove everything and reorganize since we have arrived to our land! You guys have been the biggest inspiration to us being here and actually doing this off grid thing! Thanks for sharing your journey! 🥰

[@mrs.onyango6504]

Beautiful Airstream home and family 🧐

[@Yazzy_Northside]

What really helped me get through some hard things I’ve been going through the last couple months is watching “Tiny Shine Home”. I thank you guys for just being you, and am excited for more videos!💖 God bless!

[@offairhead]

Those bunks that turn into couches are the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen!!!

[@willberk2920]

Another wonderful video, and I can’t say it enough, such a magnificent family. You guys are blessed above measure, and such an inspiration. Thank you again for sharing

[@corriesmiley4315]

What a lovely traveling family. I really enjoyed the journey thru your home. Now you need to take us on your travels.

[@tracylinn4520]

Amazing use of space and I’m just SO impressed with how organized you are! Your children must all get along really well to occupy that bunk room together. Love to see a family traveling together. Must respect for your accomplishments

[@jonathanlongnecker1479]

Thanks Tracy! Yeah our kids are awesome - they truly are best friends :)

[@tracylinn4520]

Jonathan Longnecker Thats so Wonderful!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Sure they do. There’s lots of families traveling who’s kids aren’t getting along. If they didn’t get along we’d definitely be trying something new.

[@CherishEaDay]

Man...you guys are amazing. Power couple. Great kids. Your Airstream is. One-of-a-kind. Congrats.

[@cylenadee]

We just sold our 31ft, ‘72-73 Airstream International Sovereign! Luxury on wheels! So much storage I never did use all of it! The new owner will no doubt renovate. Thank you for the video and the look back!

[@williamlewis8741]

another excellent video and i'm duly impressed by all of your collective effort to make it work. cheers

[@ramblingrosie3762]

Best and tidiest mobile home ever, happy family, happy life.

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

Glad to see you acknowledge the lengthy and loving help your in-laws gave you. Love your airstream! Congratulations

[@TinyShinyHome]

Absolutely. They were an enormous help.

[@dvs91856]

This is such a great video with details! We just bought a 1981 Airstream Excella ii and need to figure out where to begin and you've given lots of details on things we can utilize in refurbishing ours. Continue life with the family and God bless all of you! Thanks for the great and awesome video production! I will be checking out your breakdown video next!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Debi Van Slyke thanks Debi! Good luck on your Reno!!

[@bethhubbs9937]

Just watched this in 2023. I've only been aware of you folks and watching your videos for maybe a year? so this is super fun to see the kids when they were younger and the details of your super cool Airstream. Great video, as always. Greetings from California.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Aww thanks - they were so little!

[@myphonyaccount]

Beautiful. Everything. Vehicle, lifestyle, intent, family.

[@larryrobertson2150]

You have combined efficiency with a very nice style. So much talent and it shows . Great renovation.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thank you

[@judytassone7504]

Wonderful design and care and Reno implementation of this beautiful Airstream!

[@kevinbaerg]

Absolutely BRILLIANT! So well done! Genius! Love your stand up desk! So many cleverly thought out design elements! Thanks for sharing!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thanks Kevin - I love my stand up desk, too! Glad you enjoyed the tour.

[@janeabbotts]

Loved your opening, thanking your folks. They really gave you a huge boost to get it all done. Well done, Mum and Dad...:)

[@TinyShinyHome]

Such a huge boost! Thanks Jane :)

[@paulsuprono7225]

Jus thinkin . . . where would any of us be, if not for our parents ? God bless ! ⛪

[@LockedenLoad]

Lovely trailer but you are just running from your responsibilities, you're a bumb. You're poor kids don't have friends or school. Get a job and buy a house like a normal person and when your kids have grown then be selfish and travel.

Oh, and the kids converting dining table to bed? SUPER CUTE and nice dance moves. Adorable

you're so lucky to have your parents and family support!!! props!

[@honeyccampbell8687]

I love ❤️ your shoutout to your parents, respect ✊🏽. You’ve done an amazing restoration of your home. I personally wouldn’t mind living in an airstream or tiny home 🏡

[@TinyShinyHome]

We couldn't have done it without them! Thanks for the kind words :)

@Terry Christian It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out!

[@salad3806]

This is really amazing, you guys clearly put a lot of work into making this airstream suitable as a beautiful mini home. The solar setup is really nice as well ⭐️

[@salad3806]

Also really like the standing desk concept, nobody feels good about sitting all day doing work, great idea.

[@franciegwin]

Absolutely, amazing and the best integrative tour I've ever seen! Thank you! Glad you have a website so I can learn more.

[@Geordo1960]

There is no way I can’t sub to this channel after watching this video! Well done beautiful home you have provided and a wonderful way of life for your children and family. You are providing so many extremely wonderful memories for your children that they will be able to take with themselves throughout their lifetime’s. And I bet all of them will turn out to be wonderful parents as well. You and your wife are absolutely brilliant! You have a learn to live with only what you absolutely need and I think this minimalism that you have is certainly something that is also bringing a lot of happiness. When you have only what you absolutely need then extras in life seem like such a wonderful pleasant luxuries. But it seems you are stressing that things are not as important as living!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thanks Geordo for all the kind words :) We certainly hope these memories and experiences will stay with them the rest of their lives!

[@carmencombs3919]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful, shiny, tiny home.

[@jamesstrandlof8014]

Dad, great job at narrating! You come across as a very cool Dad. Mom good job keeping the place organized. I may be old fashion and maybe Dad does it but I have a feeling mom keeps that place clean & organized! Very adorable family. Two thumbs up from me!

[@TinyShinyHome]

We both work together at building this place and keeping it organized. Kids help a lot with that too. Team work:)

[@patricialynn6280]

Yall are amazing...I just discovered your channel so of course I had to go back 5yrs to the beginning, what a great family you have created, your children are blessed!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Awe thanks!

[@chippychin]

This is the best Airstream renovation I've seen yet and I've been looking a lot. Excellent job, guys! The video itself was really great too. Thank you for all the effort.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thanks so much 😁 you’re right it was way too much work 😂

[@yvonnelives]

Heck, auto play made come across this video while sleeping and I woke up to 1/2 way thru this video and took a shot at watching from that point. Now I’m starting from the beginning because this is a great video and quite cool energy from you and the fam. The kids are really fun and the grown ups are cool too! Lol... great looking Airstream.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed the tour of our home.

[@gerita529]

Amazing work; you are brilliant and I’m sure your Wife added much of the design and input herself. What do you do about laundry with a team of 6? I assume you have to come off grid to the nearest laundromat? it has to be often. BUMMER!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thanks Gerita, we just run into town to a laundry mat to wash clothes once a week. It's typically faster than running loads in a house because you can do it all at once! We do errand runs often even when off-grid (the trailer stays parked).

[@tammywines7343]

Oh my your home is absolutely gorgeous. I love this. I just found your channel. We own a home in Jefferson County West Virginia ( 40 miles from Washington D.C) but my hubby and I moved too Texas last February and I love it. I talked my husband into buying me a 5th wheel, I am selling giving away so much stuff lol I don't miss things. My hubby took a job transfer, I am done working ( I have been a nurse 35 year's) C-19 18, 24 hour shifts just wore my mentality out. God bless and love your home.

[@wcedwardsjr]

I think this is the best Airstream renovation I have seen. Great job!

[@TinyShinyHome]

William Edwards thanks Edward - that means a lot 😁

[@marka7519]

Beautiful reno. Great bunk/couch design. That electrical wiring is a work of art.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Mark A it truly is! Every time we open that area we find our selves staring at it for quite a while!

[@brendajohnson6910]

Hands down one of the best Air Stream renovations I've seen on YT. Great inovative use of space!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thanks Brenda - that means a lot to us :)

[@kimberlykay1495]

This is absolutely incredible. you have given me all the hope so it doesn’t feel impossible for me to do this with my family

There's a Wings of Fire poster on the wall of the top bunk of the first bunk he shows. Awesome series, really recommend to anyone interested.

[@tracyboyd4867]

The kids are so little compared to your videos I watch now...❤

[@annwithaplan9766]

Well thought out ideas there. I like the fold down bed backings. Glad to see a water filter being used. Oh, and I use Norwex cloths, too. They work really well on metal surfaces as well.

Thanks Ann - we were really happy with how the bunk beds turned out, too! +1 for Norwex!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thanks G - glad you were able to compile some of the ideas for yourself!

[@Rockoblocko]

Good for you. Shout out to myself for doing 100% of the work on my airstream by myself. Man I wish my dad was around to help.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Hahaha yes big shout out to yourself! It's soooo much work!

[@Rockoblocko]

@@TinyShinyHome thanks! Your rig is serving as an inspiration to me. Its a little more difficult bc I am living in my airstream full time while also renovating. But I have installed a full soaking tub, a real toilet with bidet, and just recently a wine refrigerator 🍷. Also polishing it myself (Never again,lol). I envy your solar system!

[@TinyShinyHome]

All the amenities, nice!! Yeah we love our solar system - it’s been a huge life saver now that we’re building an off grid homestead.

[@freeman-1776]

Lived for 2 years in a converted wheel chair van while I went to college. Got my degree and now I live on top of a 30 story High Rise building. The thing I miss the most is the freedom to take my home with me on my adventures. You have the most important trait you can possibly have. The pioneer spirit and a positive attitude. I teach English in Vietnam at the moment. It's kind of funny. Now I live in my little Eagles nest on top of the world but I'm saving to build another Van or tour bus. One thing is for sure. I envy you. I don't need fancy things, only a way to live free. Okay, maybe I do need some fancy things like a drone and solar power but hey you got to have some comforts of life right? Cheers!

[@linshannon4480]

Your home just popped up on my stream today, and I'm so impressed. I've rarely seen such a practical and intelligent renovation. Can't wait to show my husband.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Hey! Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. We love our little home here.

[@robertgilbert5496]

that is probably the best thought out and implemented trailer or bus renovation that I have ever seen. Unbelievably well done.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thanks so much Robert! Man, did we think a lot about it so glad that came through in the finished product :)

[@theadventuresofbrockinthai4325]

Hey guys I'm a new subscriber because I just saw you on "my little homestead" and I liked what I saw. I used to have a 1962 Airstream and it was all original. Halfway through the restoration we got a chance to buy a nice piece of property on the Oregon coast 800 feet from the water and built a house. I sold the Airstream and a fithwheel trailer we were living in to build the house. I wish I still had it. Lol I am trying to go back and watch all of your earlier videos and see the process you went through to redo your Airstream and the sandbag house that you are in the middle of. Keep the videos coming and I'll keep watching then.

[@thenextbondvillainklaussch3266]

Tiny Shiny Home Watching from Falkenberg Sweden. Really liked all of it. Bur my favorite part is the kids bunkbeds. You should make them a table so they can use the room even Moore!

[@TinyShinyHome]

We’ve thought of that, but it would really block the hallway. We have a giant table up front so that’s where we all hang out a lot:)

solid proof that ingenuity, hard work, forethought and solid family time is more important than square feet or an expensive rv. beautiful remodel to accomodate your family of 6. thanks for posting this home tour!

Great video! We were a family of 6 2 girls and 2 boys in a smaller camper back in the 70’s we only used it for vacation but before that we camped in a tent and loved it on the weekend getaways, then as I was 15 we got a small motor home with the bed over the cab, we had it w years then Dad started buying vacation home. Hope to buy an airstream for my 2 boys to use.
