Top 10 Reasons Why I Love My Airstream Trailer

Okay, okay, you asked for it, so here it is...








The Top 10 Reasons Why I Love My Airstream Trailer

10. When we are rolling down the road, folks give us the thumbs up sign

9. She’s a great place to hide from the kids (of course, that’s just a hypothetical fact. I would never dream of hiding from my kids...)

8. She makes a damn fine mirrorball garden ornament in our front yard

7. I always have a guest room for in-laws and fire evacuees

6. After she is polished, I can put my lipstick on with professional precision (and everyone knows how important that is when you’re camping)

5. Airline passengers can spot our house from a mile away when flying over us

4. She takes us (or we take her?) places we would never otherwise go

3. As long as I own her, I am an ordained Silver Sister

2. Every time we go camping, our list of amazing family memories grows

…and the #1 reason why I love my Airstream trailer?

1. My trailer keeps me grounded. Yes, she IS a flashy icon of the fashionable mid-century modern 1960’s, but the ol’ silver girl is also a reminder that a simpler way of living existed in the not-so-distant past. Back then, folks didn’t need much to make them happy; just a big aluminum roller-toaster hitched to a clunky fake-wood paneled station wagon, and a clearing in the woods. That's it. A 5-star family vacation. It doesn't get much better than that.
