When we decided to remodel the Airstream bedroom by removing the queen bed and putting in custom beds for the kids, I knew finding a comforter or blanket the right size would be difficult if not impossible. Sheets we could probably manage (and we did), but I wanted something special for the kids to help…
Hi Aimee! I think its just called a “strip quilt”. We went through the Sewing Basket in American Fork, UT and they were fabulous to work with. http://sewingbasketutah.com/ReplyCancel

Within a day or so of returning home, we started our largest Airstream Project Ever. We are pulling out the queen bed, and replacing it with two twin beds and a toddler bed, leaving the walking space down the middle. We got the party started by removing the queen bed. The bed itself is screwed…
Wow! That’s totally awesome! I have always been impressed by you Sam and Jess! You just seem like the type of people who can do it all! The quilts, the beds, the storage, etc, etc, etc, and then the photos of it all – it looks perfect! Best wishes on this round of the travels and life!
Great job! Love the use of space!
This looks so great. You guys did amazing work.
Thank you!
I totally love the space! Some fine woodworking if I’ve ever seen it. Got “Curren” stamped all over it. Nice job!
Thanks Zach! Can’t wait to see you guys!
It looks so amazing. I love, love, love it!! I love the colors of the quilts, the way the room flows better and all the storage you have now. What an incredible improvement!!
It is so inspiring and beautiful right down to the quilts. I want to do it all! The dimensions in our back maybe different so I hope it works.
I am going to have to design something slightly different. There is about a foot difference in the back thus the turn of the bed.
Wow seriously an amazing job
I love reading about your guys journey. This is beautiful! I respect and admire that you travel with. Just having our Granddaughter and small dog is enough. Lol m
We never thought we would fit into an Airstream, for fulltiming with 3 kids, until we saw your bedroom remodel. After seeing your post, that is the unit we are most seriously considering. What a great job you did! Now that you have been living with it for awhile, we’d like to know if you still feel the bedroom set-up is working well and especially how it is working for you guys to have to make up your bed in the main area every night? Thanks so much.
Beautiful!! You could do some velcro straps for your bed roll – mount them high over the door so that it fits flush with the ceiling when velcro-ed into place (or high over the window).
This is great. We are committing to a 2-year trip with our 3 kids (who will be 8,6 and 4) and have decided to tow an Airstream. Did you consider the 30′ Flying Cloud Bunk? Your solution to the 27′ is genius although I think we would tire of setting up the grown-up bed every day. Just trying to figure out what models would work for us so we can watch prices and move quickly when the time comes.
How exciting for you guys! 2 years will be awesome. We briefly considered the bunk, but used bunk models (there’s also a 2005 version I think) weren’t as common 3 years ago when we were looking for ours, and we couldn’t afford a new one. We honestly feel that putting out our bed at night, and rolling it up in the morning is less painful than making a regular bed everyday. 🙂
We’ve also managed to fit the bedroll underneath Cara’s bed on the end so it doesn’t get in the way anymore. Works great!
