Un-modifying Our Airstream Twin Bed Mattresses

[@craig-n1f]

Nice to have the dogs sharing the space better you guys deserve it

Thank you! The dogs have been doing great in the crate. ~D

Yes, mold is real. Even in Arizona. We live in Arizona City and found some mold starting under one of the Airstream mattresses where there was not air flow. The slats are a good idea. Or anything else that you can use to accommodate air flow under the mattress will help. Glad you will be able to enjoy the original floor space as intended by airstream. We also extended the width of the base to support the width of the mattress.

The dogs have been doing great in the crate so we're trying to figure out the best option for moisture remediation and mattress support. Crazy that even in AZ heat we have to worry about mold! ~D

I have a hypervent pad under my mattress, no clue if it helps with mold, or if I don’t camp enough for it to matter - I definitely don’t camp enough in general :-).

Get out there! 🤣 We're still trying to figure out what, if anything, we need for airflow. We know we need more mattress support but haven't figure out what that will look like yet. We might have too much free time. :) ~D

My wife would love twin beds as we have the east west one piece mattress in our Bambi where someone has to crawl over the other person to get up at night. Making up the bed is a real chore, too. Don't know if you saw my comment about having to cancel our trip to Dolores but both the a/c and the refrigerator crashed on us starting on Friday with the 110 heat. I'll be able to get the rig into We Are Airstream on Wednesday, leaving us no time to get to the Rally even if they can fix it in one day. Question: What size a/c do you have and who made it? We have a 11k btu and I want to upgrade to 15k btu. Safe travels to you both with puppies sleeping in your new bedroom. S

The twins really add a lot of visible space, especially when you're looking from front to back/back to front. There's probably no more room than in a queen of the same model, but we really like the way the beds and the storage are set upl. Hopefully We Are Airstream can get it right the first time... we've had our rig in there. When we got it back we re-fixed what they fixed with our walls, but they got our awning computer and arms fixed under warranty.. Your mileage may vary. We have 2 Dometic 15k units with soft-starts. Been happy with them. Let us know how it goes at the dealer! ~D

Did you sell your Airstream? Why are you selling? Thank you (06/20/24)

[@hathawaywego]

Haven't sold the Airstream yet, and it doesn't look promising in the current economy. Fortunately we love our Airstream and aren't in a hurry to sell. We'll keep on traveling and upgrading until things turn around. We're selling because we really love the vintage Airstreams and think it would be fun to modernize one. ~D
