Improvement to Original Shell Structure - Wheel Well Support

Airstreams are built to last.  Part of the durability is how the shell is attached with rivets to C-Channels which are bolted to the floor and frame.

Back in 1955, two areas where the interior aluminum walls were not secured to the wall structure are the wheel wells.  Colin was careful to improve our trailer during restoration.  C-Channels were added to the wheel well - to secure this area of potential weakness.












Sorry for the fuzziness of this second photo.
