Hello fellow farmgirls! I'm Kiki from central Arkansas! I'm new around here, but I thought I might be able to reach out for some help/advise. I recently purchased a 1968 airstream ambassador with the intent of fixing it up for glamping. I dont have a large budget or a lot of help. I have never done anything like this before, and I am at the point where I need to have the floor replaced. I could really use some help or tips on what to do. I have read several blogs and threads on airstream forum that were helpful, but i am hesitant to take the leap and do it myself with no experience since its such an important step for safety/stability reasons. Any suggestions out there?
Thanks for listening!
Kiki

Welcome Kiki!
I, too, am a glamper . . with my daughter, Robin! We have done lots of tent glamping and this summer were able to, for the first time, take out our little 71 Sprite trailer!
The OUTPOST section has lots of threads . . . "katmom" is there and my daughter and I have threads for our tent glamping adventures and for our summer out in the "Reiver's Rest"
You'll love it here on the Connection!

Welcome Kimi! I'm afraid I'm still a wannabe glamper, but it's always exciting to hear when someone is fixing up her glamping home away from home! Look forward to hearing about your adventure!
Happy Day!
Peace in our hearts, peace in the world

Thanks Katmom! I never even thought of facebook as a good source since Im rarely on there, but I will have to check it out!
MaryJane your airstream is so amazing! II am in awe of how beautiful it turned out! I'm hoping mine will feel like home when I'm finished. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Shannon! Thanks for the welcome and encouragement! Helps motivate me to keep going :)
