Mosaic that inspired paintings

This specific arch in the Mosque of Cordoba in Spain was the inspiration for all the painted panels in the Airfloat. I acquired a high resolution photo, outlined elements with CAD, cut out designs in 1/8" plywood with my CNC router, adhered the ply to canvas, then painted with acrylics. The paintings were then contact cemented to the mollycroft ceiling and cabinet fronts.

It is rumored that our trailer is progeny of this rather promiscuous vehicle.

YouTube video made for this trailer

Larry Walsh, who has a YouTube channel, Mobiltec, focused on restoring vintage trailers, found this Airfloat while exploring the countryside around Atascadero. I happened to contact him the next day about another trailer and he suggested this one. The owner agreed to sell it and Larry made this great video tour.

Original Airfloat

This is the first photo sent by Larry Walsh (http://cannedhamtrailers.com/) after he found it near Atascadero CA.

Interior of original Airfloat

All the woodwork was Phillipine mahogany, but it was painted (probably lacquered) white.

With the exception some of the plywood. all the original wood in the trailer was beautiful Phillipine mahogany.

The original couch

This couch was definitely removed ASAP. Critters had found it to be a great nesting area.

We did not chose to use this in the rebuild.

Original jalousie windows

Sadly, the construction of these windows was not adequately strong for including in the rebuild.
