We love every custom job that enters the shop. But sometimes, things don’t work out as planned and a project ends before it’s finished. Now you can benefit from one of these partially completed custom renovations.
Leisure Coachworks is selling the rare, vintage, 1989 307LE Airstream motorhome that was going to become a cigar lounge. Let’s take a look at how far we got into the RV remodel as Jon takes us on a tour of this classic coach.
We started with the nuts and bolts: the engine, transmission, brakes, and tires. Over $20,000 went into making this beauty road-worthy. Our team then gutted the interior and we mocked up the cigar lounge design.
You’ll see that the heavy lifting is all done. The Airstream was completely emptied, leaving a fantastic blank slate. You can use the current mock-up and have a mobile cigar lounge, or decide you’d like to do something different.
You can see all the wiring, plumbing, and even a damaged area of the floor so you know exactly what you’re getting with this vintage vehicle. There won’t be any surprises later. We’ll let you know upfront about any issues we discovered as we prepared this motorhome for its transformation.
We kept some of the items that came out of the vintage Airstream. Components such as the shower pan, most of the holding tanks, and even some of the panels.
This isn’t just any old Airstream. Back in 1989 when this motorhome went on the market, it was one of only 29 of its kind. A very rare find, it’s ideal for Airstream enthusiasts. Imagine building the RV of your dreams into this vintage jewel of a motorhome.
Both the exterior and interior need a lot of work to turn this into your perfect home on wheels. If you love a DIY project, this Airstream offers endless possibilities. It’s a big project. It’s perfect for the determined craftsman. It gives you the chance to learn about and customize every aspect of your new-to-you vehicle.
If you’re not into DIY motorhome projects, we’re happy to help. Many of you have the Airstream devotion but don’t have the time, tools, or know-how to devote to such a project. If you’re looking at this and thinking about the ways you would love to turn it into something amazing, talk to us. Our team loves a customer with a vision that we can bring to life.
This one is for the dreamers. Those of you who want to create something new from something vintage. The team got you started on recreating this coach. Now it’s time to make it into exactly what you need to live your best RV life.
You don’t have to use the layout we mocked up for the cigar lounge. This is your canvas to work on, design, and turn into something that is uniquely you. With its Airstream frame, it’s always going to be a classic motorhome. What kind of modern twist would you add?
Would you take it back to its vintage origins and add new conveniences? Turn it into a high-tech, solar-powered, off-the-grid getaway? Maybe you’re looking for the ultimate movable tiny house.
This motorhome is at the perfect stage to be turned into anything. The power is in your hands to realize your vision, either on your own or with our help.
You also have the great opportunity to see how this Airstream came to us and how we completed the changes already made. Check out our first cigar lounge video to take a tour of the vehicle as it was when it rolled into our shop. Jon also gives you DIYers out there a pep talk for getting through a big conversion and talks about the benefits of professional custom RV remodeling.
The second video shows you what the Airstream looks like completely empty. If you don’t want to continue with the cigar lounge concept, this is a valuable way to see the entire space.
Video number three is a primer on designing your custom RV. Jon shows you exactly what the team planned for this vehicle and how they were going to get there. All three videos give you valuable information and insight into the motorhome and its potential.
