I realize that the isssue of politics and/or "patriotism" is not something that people might want to see on a blog about Airstreaming… but… some things are just too important.  Part of the allure of Airstreaming is the sense of freedom and wide open possibilities.  It is the unbridled joy of exploring America and experiencing [...]

Whew!  our trip rocked!  We had a pretty cool time hanging with the niece camping, fishing, toasting marshmallow, collecting firewood, eating, taking nature hikes, enjoying Roman’s campfires, swatting mosquitoes, collecting pine comes… the list goes on.  Roman was the only one who caught a fish this weekend (it was only about 8 inches!) but Daniella got [...]

School has let out for the summer and that means that yes, finally, I can go camping with my bff, Daniella (my 6 yearl old niece).  While she has been dutifully scratching away learning how to draw her letters (which btw are pretty amazing), count to 100, sing beautiful songs (I love the one about [...]

If you find yourself traveling through the lake tahoe area and you like to boondock, this little gem is a great place to rest and take in some hikes and or fishing.   Roman and I had been nominated to go scout out the Blue Lakes area for an Airstream rally site for our WBCCI unit.  [...]

With the crazy increase in gas prices people are becoming more and more concerned with the cost of towing an Airstream.  If you love the vintage look of the older Airstreams and you can appreciate the aesthetics of tambour doors in walnut grain, avocado green and bright orange formica then guess what???? The 70’s models [...]

Airforums user "wheel interested" posted pictures of the new 2009 Flying Cloud.  It is replacing the Safari line this next year.  I really like what I have seen so far.  The colors are crisp and light.  We have the same floorplan, the 25fb (I think this is a 27fb), and we love it.  You get [...]

makes for a very dull blog :(  But, I do have great news for those friends who have been thinking of going to the dark side, or should I say the square side… For those of you who have been considering crossing over to an SOB (some other brand, square old box etc…) because you [...]

Ok, at the risk of going a little off topic I have been tossing around the subject of the economy and how it is already and may affect the future of Airstreaming and RVs. What got me thinking was the discussion on AirForums. It looks pretty bleak but it is a very small concern when [...]

To any and all who keep trying to allow/revive this lame issue, Please put this matter to rest, finally.  You have tried twice (valiantly?) and the members (who all own Airstreams) have said "Nay".  Let it go and move on so we can spend time worrying about more important things like filliform and gaucho vs dinettes [...]
