First Step - Waterproofing

I figured the first thing we'd need to do is get this thing 'sea worthy' so began pulling off the windows and dove into the arduous and tedious task of cleaning the windows and scraping off and replacing old weatherstripping. There are a number of leaks that need caulking so it's taking some time getting this done. I rented scaffolding in order to get above the Airstream without actually being on it - with concern of crushing the soft aluminum and making more leaks. As it turned out, the fence next to the driveway is exactly the same height as the scaffolding so I was able to bridge over the trailer with an extension ladder. Worked perfect!
