Our layout plans

Erin used her interior design skills to draw the layout plans for our 1969 Airstream. She started with pen and paper first, and eventually moved to her iPad. We have heard good things about using Google Sketchup, but the program seems pretty advanced.
Now we are thinking about making some sort of 3d cardboard mockup to scale, so we can see exactly how everything will fit. I also made scans of our original Airstream’s maunual, particularly the Electricity chapter. Soon we are employing a friend help us hook up our electric, because right now were not street legal! As of right now we are using the following websites to help us understand “The 12 volt side of life”.
Have you checked out the Airstream Owner’s Forum, http://www.airforums.com/ ?
We’re not an Airstream owner, but our 5th Wheel owner’s forum has been invaluable to us over the years. Lot’s of knowledge on the owner’s forums.
Thank you Gus yes we have checked the Airforums, it’s been our bible for the past few months! Although, the navigation of the website and endless pages of cluttered threads leaves something to be desired…
