Have you noticed really draft areas along the floor in your #Airstream? In ours, there's a 6" wide passage beside the bed that leads towards the rear. Shining a flashlight back there shows PVC pipes running across this space from the bathroom and through a large hole into the rear external storage compartment. My first instinct was to insulate around the pipe, but then I realized that the loose fitting was probably intentional to allow a little heat from the interior to warm the cold compartment and prevent pipes from freezing. On the road, it's important to always respond to challenges as they arise. Now I just store extra beer there, and it stays nice and cool. #airstreamprotip #airganization #heatexchanger
