89 Airstream 370LE Conversion Ep.2
Take a look at the bare bones of this ’89 Airstream Mobile Cigar Lounge conversion. The entire interior has been gutted to show the full space available for this custom RV conversion.
Right away there’s an issue with some water damage near the front of the vehicle. The priority is determining the source of the leak and assessing the extent of the damage. Then the affected floorboards will be replaced.
This completely empty Airstream shows exactly what the LCW team needs to work around. There are constraints on every build, including wheel well locations, tank locations, and other elements that can’t be removed or adjusted.
It’s also a good chance for the team to see how the wiring was installed and take stock of any previous patches or repairs that need to be upgraded. The empty motorhome provides the template for the RV conversion.
We make the most of every single available space.
Knowing the basic space allows the design team to start figuring out how to best use every area. Inches matter in an RV conversion and at LCW we make the most of every single available space.
The empty Airstream doesn’t only show constraints, it opens up possibilities. Now that everything is exposed, the crew has a blank slate to create this mobile cigar lounge. Fundamental upgrades can be made that create a safe, functional foundation for the custom interior.
It’s an uphill battle to convert a vintage motorhome. The challenge is to use the space wisely, create the functionality the customer wants, stay on budget, and produce an amazing final product.
This Airstream cigar lounge conversion is the kind of challenge the Leisure Coachworks team loves. Stay tuned to see how the professionals begin the conversion of this empty space into a comfortable, customized space that brings the customer’s vision to life.
