You guys are very handy! Can't wait to see it finished.
We are trying! haha Learning as we go! Cannot wait to have it finished to show you guys, thanks for following along!
Each thousand mile journey starts with one step. Coming together. Now for the nice stuff! Mark
That is very true! We had to take a couple steps backwards in order to start forward!
Starting to look at 5th Wheels. We plan on touring the country soon. Enjoyed the video.
That is really exciting, that is what we hope to do as well! Glad you enjoyed, hope you are having a great weekend!
This is awesome. Can't wait to see your adventures.
Thank you guys so much! I agree, cannot wait for the adventures! Only thing that got us through the subfloor haha thanks for the comment, hope you are doing great!

Thank you so much, really glad that you enjoyed! Have a great rest of your week!
Wiowwww.. cant wait to see it ready
I cant wait to either! We are getting one step closer every day!! Hope you are having a fantastic week!
I’m pretty sure you guys could build an Airstream from scratch, you are both super handy! Very impressed with how Rockys renovation is coming along and can’t wait to see your videos once he is out on the road! Keep ‘em coming!
You guys are giving way toooo much credit, but thank you so much! haha we are both first time renovators! We cannot wait for the moment when we pack him up and hit the road, getting closer and closer! Thank you guys for watching, feel like we haven't talked in ages, how are you?!
Touring Tastebuds Nah, you guys are total pros 😊 We are all good, been super busy with our site and a few new things burning away too. I took a few weeks off Twitter as a way of recouping some time for other stuff, but now I need to get back on it before everyone forgets who we are! 😂 Nice to see you guys on the vlogs though!
Well come to the states and we will make you one! :) Excited to see what is coming! I don't blame you, we have slowed down on Twitter as well! haha we could never forget you guys!! Glad we can chat through here and insta still!
I'm new to this and just got a 73 Sovereign airstream I was trying to see what the subflooring looked like..... I'm going to have to replace the wood in the same place you did not sure what I'm getting into yet.
Project is coming nicely great plans can't wait to see the finished product
It definitely is coming along, we cannot wait to show you the finished product! The subfloor hopefully was the worst, and we can start knocking out a lot this weekend! Take care!
When I was younger we built a motor home out of an old bus and yes the floor and ceiling was the worst part
Great job guys. 👍
Thank you for stopping by!
THANKS for all the helpful tips. We are getting ready to start the subfloor repairs (very similar to yours) but still have a few persistent leaks that I'm working on right now. Best wishes!
You are more than welcome! That is such an exciting, frustrating, and rewarding process! Leaks are a pain, but hopefully you are slowly fixing them all! Best wishes back and if you ever have a question would love to help!
Great job guys. Glad you showed your trial and errors too.
Thank you, I am glad that you enjoyed! Hopefully it will help someone else if they ever do what we had to do! How is your week going so far?
Touring Tastebuds we are doing great. Going to a RUclips meet up this Friday-Sunday. Keep up tgw geat job. Have a great weekend
That sounds like fun, look forward to seeing what it is all about! Have a great weekend as well!
Brilliant you are both great at DIY which i'm sure helps. It's looking great ATB leona and chris
You guys are too kind! Thank you! It is coming along slowly but surely, we cannot wait to hit the road! Hope you are both well!
very well thanks for asking
Nice one
Thank you very much, it was a lot of work but glad it is over with!
Well you have done a really nice job on your airtream and it looks really good too.👍👍
Thank you Joran! It is slowly coming along, has taken a lot more time to get this subfloor finished then I thought it would take sadly! Hope your week is going well!
Your very welcome well my week has been good so far i can´t complain
wow guys great
Thank you! He is definitely coming along, really excited to hit the road when we finish!
Awesome you guys have floors in! The project is coming along nicely!
We are so happy to have floors in! I was tired of slipping on the frames haha we have a ton of blooper videos waiting to drop some random time! Thank you guys for following along, cant wait to show you the next one, there will be a lot more fun changes then flooring haha hope your week is going well!
Haha looking forward to the bloopers! That'll be a good laugh! And thank you! We actually took some inspiration from one of your recent videos and went and checked out some street art ;D Hope your week has been awesome as well! :D
It should be funny to edit, going to wait until we are fully done though! Really?! That is awesome guys, I cannot wait to see what you found! It has been really busy with the subfloor but finally is over! haha
Can imagine! You two will be fine though! Will be so worth it when it’s done!
Looking good. Doing a great job at renovation
Thank you guys! I hope the van you get does not need that! haha Cannot wait to follow along on your journey!
Touring Tastebuds it’s so exciting. We are super stoked right now. We are off to house sit for a couple of weeks and then we are picking up a brand new motorhome from Italy and driving back to the UK over 22 days. This is a hire though. When we are back we are hiring another van from Quirky Campers and then in mid June we hope to start our build. 🙌🤓
That sounds great guys! Knock out the house sitting and then hit the road! That is going to be amazing! Cannot wait to follow along!
Looks like such a cool ride, really!! honestly i'm a little jelly haha, i bet there's tons of stories to come with this ride.
Thank you so much! Maybe our paths will cross someday and you can check it out in person! There will definitely be a ton of stories from this, we already have gained a couple! How is your week going so far?
It's alright, getting tired of my 8-5 job :(
Hope we get to meet someday, it'd be fun!
It seems a lot of work but I'm sure you are doing a great job and It will be awesome!!!
It definitely has been a ton of work, but it is coming along and it will be well worth it! Thank you guys for stopping by, how are you doing?!
Touring Tastebuds very good thank you! We have a lot of things to do and we haven't been around so much... We will try to catch up!
How did you learn so much about construction? Very hand skill to have! The reno is looking awesome, and you are saving so much money by doing it yourself!
For this mostly just kind of guessing and checking haha I also did some stuff in the summers during high school! Thank you so much!! We are really glad about saving money, we also are enjoying doing this together! Thanks for watching!
Touring Tastebuds Great video! Enjoying it!
You guys are so awesome and one of our favorite channel on YT, always such a good attitude and feel you are like our motto "Don't pretend to be a big money production and not be a hack" lol. In short, honest and we truly love what you do
Thank you guys so much!! That means a ton, we really love your channel as well and enjoy being able to connect and talk! We definitely want to be very honest with our experiences and we really do love RUclips! Hope you two are having an amazing week, hope to make a live stream soon!
Hi, nice job. We're doing pretty much the same process. I was really suprised by the plastic toggle bolts. Are they holding up?
Manning Grinnan Hey, that is awesome to hear and hope it is going smoothly for you! The toggle bolts that we used are holding up amazingly, the plastic was just the fitting to break off, bolts weren’t plastic!
@@TouringTastebuds Oh, that makes WAY more sense! I can't quite picture how they work but a trip to Lowe's will probably show me. Thanks again, that back panel comes out today!
You guys have got a lot done on it! It's looking really nice, hopefully, you don't have any more leaks. Chad do you work in carpentry?
Thank you! We feel like we haven't gotten anything done, but the subfloors was a huge step!! I do not work in carpentry, both Stef andI are first time renovators! Hope you guys are having a great weekend!
Making great progress with the Airstream! Keep it fun!
Thank you! We are trying, took a while to get this done but hoping to get a ton done this weekend! Hope you have a great weekend, thanks for stopping by!
Wow this is a big undertaking! Kuddos to you guys for the DIY! The airstream is looking awesome!
Definitely is a huge project, but luckily it slowly but surely getting there! haha Thank you for the kudos, it has been a really fun challenge so far! Now we can finally work on the interior! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Great video, good work my friend
Thank you so much! Hope you are having a great week!
Loved the video guys!! And Chad, stop listing excuses and get to work already :D :D That transition through the bolt hole was really nice BTW.
Thank you! haha I know, I know, the excuses are over! lol Glad you enjoyed the transition, we tried to add some fun shots and laughs throughout the video since it was a longer one! How is your week going so far?
Good so far. Trying to make some more timelapses from my dashcam videos :)
I can’t tell you how many times I seen one of these on the road and though... I would love to remodel one for traveling around! So cool! Makes me wanna do one.
You definitely should do it! It definitely is a project, but we are loving it and cannot wait to hit the road! Hope we can cross paths someday, would be epic I am sure!
Thanks for doing a video that I can use for an example for me to fix my floor!
You are more than welcome! Really happy it can help you out. What year do you have?!
What did you do with the floor under the c- channel? How did you get it out and put it back under? And rebolt in the c-channel
We unbolted it and ripped out all that we could, it was really rotten so couldn’t use it as a template. Put back under, it just slides in there is enough space in between the frame and the Airstream for your subfloor. To rebolt we used toggle bolts, has held up phenomenally. All of this should be in our video! If you have any more questions though just ask! 😊
That was such a huge task changing the sub floor! I think the worst is over though! The cosmetic part of the renovation is going to probly be easy in comparison. Great job guys keep it up!
It really was, thank goodness the worst (knock on wood) is over! haha We are excited for the cosmetic part and to start making it our home! Thank you guys for following along, really glad you are enjoying! Loved the past two videos with the collaborations!
Sweet, it is moving a long nicely. What a huge project. Some mad deriveting skills! Looks good all cleaned up! Definetly would take a ton of work to film this...hope the relationship is still going well after a project like that...HA!!! Have a great one guys.
It definitely is a huge project, but it is coming along finally! It was a ton of film haha I was so overwhelmed editing! We may or may not have cut out a couple injuries and arguments lol but we are better than ever now that the floor is done! Thanks for stopping by, how is your week?
Ha! Yeah, its hard...we often have over 650 clips after a vacation..and finding the best scenes is so time consuming..you guys did a great job...I'd have a ton of injuries, thats for sure...and I know there would be moments with my wife as well. Looks great guys, you are doing a wonderful job construction and editing wise. Week is going good. Snow is finally going here, and we are looking to get out camping.
Ya, it definitely is time consuming, but love the feeling when a video comes together! Thank you, you do an amazing job as well! I have a few extra bruises and cuts haha so does Stef! I am sure you are happy about the snow finally melting, where are you going to head to camp?!
Great job guys! Long process, thanks for taking us along
Thank you! It definitely has been a long process, excited to take you along on the more fun parts like an epic road trip! haha Hope you are having a great week!
Mimosa Sundays yeah :) I think I said it before but you guys are awesome for doing it yourself. Not sure I will ever take on a renovation but I can advise those who do and look really knowledgeable haha. Can't wait to see how it ends up so far so good.
That is her motto! :) You are awesome for saying that, thank you! It definitely has its struggles but we cannot wait for the moment we hit the road! haha you will atleast have an idea if someone ever asks! Glad you approve so far, the next part will be way more exciting!
Hey your airstream is starting to look great! Can't wait what it will look like when it's finished! Have a great weekend guys!
Thank you! It is a work in progress for sure, but slowly but surely! Excited to show you what it will look like when we finish as well! Thanks for stopping by, hope you two have an amazing weekend as well!
The instrumental tho 🔥
Thank you!
Awesome video guys! That is a ton of work, but I know you'll love it when it's all done. Good that you are learning on the fly and not letting things that aren't working stop you from making progress. I wouldn't really have any clue how to do that kinda stuff. but it does make me want to try!
Thank you! Definitely is a lot of work, but in our latest video we finally got to take him out and it made us excited for what is to come! We don't have much of a clue haha we really are learning as we go but hopefully we are on the home stretch! Thanks for watching and hope you had a good weekend!
It's coming along! Doing a great job!
Yes it is! One day at a time is our motto! haha Thank you guys so much for stopping by, hope you are having a great week!
Awesome project! Keep it up!
Thank you! Now that the flooring is done, I think a lot will start coming together in the next week or so!
Just wondering....why go to all the trouble and not use Marine plywood?
We were on a budget and went with the regular plywood and used flex seal to reinforce the wood from water damage. Has held up phenomenally so far!
How did you get the floor to slide in so easily? Did you use 3/4 inch? Help we cannot get ours all the way in.
When we took our old subfloor our we measured and it was actually a 1/2 inch for ours so we used 1/2 inch to make it work and then we used toggle bolts and self tapping screws to secure! I would measure your old subfloor to ensure the right size. If this doesn’t help, let me know would love to help more!
@@TouringTastebuds Thank you so much for your reply. We are doing it your way and your video was so helpful!
That rain was really a BEAST! Thanks for sharing the process. Congrats on all your great work!
Yes it was! Luckily it didn't ruin Rocky too much, if any! Hoping he holds tomorrow during the showers as well!! Glad we can share this process with you all, we are just glad you enjoyed! :) Thank you so much for the comment!
That is big project you started there, Will be watching and following from Qatar. Cheers
It definitely is the biggest project either of us have ever done, but we have had an amazing time so far! Thank you so much for checking us out and following along, will have another one hopefully coming this week! Cheers!
I am so looking forward to your finished product! I know that is a ways away! This part is time consuming difficult yet extremely important! :)
We cannot wait either! It is really fun renovating, but we cannot wait to hit the road! Hoping to be finished in less than a month! Definitely is an important part though, thank you for stopping by! What do you have planned for the weekend?
The work is gradually moving.
Weldone guys.🍷🍷💪
Keep up the good work👍
Yes it is, slowly but surely it is coming along! Thanks for watching and supporting, hope you are doing well!
Wow, that seems like a huge project but the subfloors are looking great! Now time for the fun stuff! Just drilling things is always the best strategy 😆
It was way bigger than I had anticipated! haha but thank you guys, so glad to be done with that though! Excited for what Stef has in mind for the inside! The drilling was at first a great stress reliever and then became a huge pain after about a day of drilling! lol thanks for watching guys!
Huge bummer that you couldn't use the old subfloor as a template, but it looks like you bossed it anyway. Loving these updates!!
It definitely was a bummer and made the process way longer than needed but we figured it out and got it done...eventually! haha Glad you are enjoying the updates, the next one should be more fun and involve a lot more than flooring! Thanks for stopping by!
Whooop 👊 great video really interesting👍 it's our dream to renovate a bus and tour New Zealand So your vids will be handy 👀 i do a lot of templating in my job and shame I'm so far away could of helped you when you lay your flooring 😉 keep up the great vids 👋 love & light 💚
You guys are too kind! That would be a dream come true doing that in New Zealand! Hope our videos will help you guys out, that would have been a huge help for the flooring!! Hope you are doing amazing, really enjoy following along!
Thanks 😍
Looks like you both are making great progress. It looks like a dirty fun project. It is going to look so amazing when its all said and done. Do you have a time frame for when you want it completed? Or are just doing what ever whenever you can? Thanks for the great share! Have an amazing night. Cheers!
Definitely making some progress, it was a pain for a little bit but now it is becoming more and more fun! Excited to start working on the inside and building it back up! We are hoping to be completed no longer than a few weeks, the floor was the most difficult part for us! Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching! Hope you are doing great, excited to see the new video!
Looking good guys. I love that transition where you put the camera in the hole under that Travel Trailer then back on the other side. Really cool.
Looking good. I guess the next step is building the bed maybe?
Thank you! It was fun to mess with the transitions in this video, had a lot more footage to work with! The next step more than likely is going to be laying the floor and getting everything ready to be painted! Then the bed and other pieces can come on in! Hope you are doing great, saw you posted a new video, look forward to seeing it!
Touring Tastebuds Well I am looking forward to seeing it👍I have been Browsing but we building a house so I got to wait till all of that is done unless I have a stock take off 😂😂😂
hahaha ya I don't blame you! Maybe take on one big project at a time!
Oh wow! Rain!! Looks like a lot of work! How many full days was that, 11? Aww, yay for your furry helper! So cool! Love how you guys move along and figure it out! Looking good! Can't wait for the next update! - Annaleis
Yes, terrible rain! haha sadly Arkansas rains atleast once a week! I think full days total it was 11, but most days we only had a few hours tops to work on it! Millie was a huge help, she is a great supervisor haha that is one thing I really love about our relationship, we always keep on going no matter what! Thank you guys for the compliments and stoping by, cant wait to share the next update! Should have a lot more fun things in it other than floor replacement! haha
No way! This is such a dream, very cool! Having an airstream will be so fun, great job on the video, love the shots through the hole. Keep it up guys!
It was a dream of ours as well!! Hope you can do this someday! We are really excited to hit the road once we finish! Really glad that you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for watching! Have an awesome week!
Great to see guys how its going on with your airstream. And we love your dog😍 good job🖒
Thank you! Glad that we could update you on the progress so far. Millie is awesome, she is anxious to hit the road I am sure haha how was your week?!
I so want an Airsream now. It was so good catching up with you guys on Pusa Studios live. I just love your channel and what you do.
You should get one! I am really glad that we did that live, it was a ton of fun! Thank you so much, that means alot! We really enjoy your channel and being able to connect with each other! Have a great rest of the week!
Love it guys, coming along great! Where is the first place you all are going to take it to when you get it finished up? Any big plans? Have a good one - Shane
Thank you Shane! It is finally starting to look like a home...ish! haha We are planning a huge trip which we will tell you more about when it is all planned! The first trip will be a test trip around home probably! Hope you are both well, any good hiking this week?
Dang, this is looking good! So much progress. Love the shot through the rivet hole.
I agree with Chad. A good drilling fixes most anything! Ha! - Chad, you need a Dremel Tool!
I was just thinking/wondering, do you need to have any flashing at the door on the aluminum piece to keep the water from entering?
10k I’m Twitter and soooo close to 1k here! You are going to fly right by me in a week or so! Please remember us small creators.
Thank you so much Harvy!! We wanted to try and add a couple fun shots and laughs since the video was way longer than normal for us! A good drilling fixes most, until you drill for like 5 days then it doest haha we finally got a better drill at the end!! So for the door, the aluminum piece bolts to the actual subfloor and then there are two drill holes going through the door frame, aluminum, and subfloor into the frame so that it is kept tight and flush! There is also a drain underneath right there in case water gets in, since the fridge is right there as well! Hope that makes sense!
We love our Twitter community! We are working on a twitter tutorial to help people get started! I don't know about that, your content is amazing and you are growing at a great rate! I hope you remember us! Lol Have a great rest of the week, thanks for chatting airstream Reno! :)
Touring Tastebuds ahhh...that makes sense! Cool. I’m learning through your renovation project!
We are learning as we go as well! haha
