Inside the Airstream: A Quick Tour {2014 Edition}

by JessPosted in Inside the Airstream

For some reason, taking photos of the inside of the Airstream and posting them has been really difficult for me. When I show off my living space, I just want it to be perfect. Totally unrealistic, but I want everyone to see it the way its in my head -not necessarily the way it looks…

Inside the Airstream: Bathroom Upgrades and Tour

by JessPosted in Inside the Airstream

I got a little stressed out back in San Diego, and one of the ways I apparently deal with stress is to redecorate. With only 188 sq feet of living space, I don’t have a whole lot of options, but I managed to change up the bathroom a bit to make it a little more…

    Jess, we use exactly the same Sterilite containers! Each of us gets one for our frequently-used bathroom items and they just fit in our medicine cabinet. I’m a bit jealous of your newly decorated space. Looks so lovely!ReplyCancel

      Sterilite is definitely a huge help! haha and Thank you!ReplyCancel

In Which I Replace the Range Hood Fan

by SamPosted in Airstream Accessories, Inside the Airstream

Flash back with me to Christmas. We were staying at Huntsville State Park. Jess was cooking. She had the vent hood fan on, which draws air in over the range and pushes it out the kitchen vent in the side of the Airstream. The fan is a bit loud when it is on, but works…

    Dang, ours just went out this week. I’m having the toughest time finding the part number. We zip-tied our fan together, and that fixed it for about… 2 days. 🙂

    Glad to see we weren’t the only ones with this issue.ReplyCancel

Inside the Airstream: Where Does Everyone Sleep?

by JessPosted in Inside the Airstream

We had an Instagram follower ask us to detail where everyone sleeps in our 27FB International Airstream. I am more than happy to oblige. After we picked up the Airstream back in September 2013, we spent 8 days on the return trip from llinois back to Virginia. I’m pretty sure in those 8 days we…

    This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this.ReplyCancel

    I always find it interesting to see how a family makes it work in a small space. Giving up the bed with all those windows would be really hard for me! It might be worth it for the midnight ice cream though 🙂ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      Midnight ice cream is worth quite a lot!ReplyCancel

  • LaneVids

    Hmmm… Never expected this configuration. We have two kids, and we really like the new flying cloud 30 foot with bunks. The bunk area has a curtain to close off the kiddos so the master bed can still have access to the ice cream in the middle of the night! What year is y’all’s trailer?ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      Lane-
      Ours is a 2008. We looked at the bunk model, but you’d have to give up the panorama windows around the dinette and we just couldn’t do it. Backing in to a site and watching the sunrise is definitely one of our favorite features!ReplyCancel

      • LaneVids

        That is the one thing that I don’t like about the bunk, the lack of windows. Why can’t we have the best of both worlds?ReplyCancel

        • Jess

          Exactly!! Our other problem with the bunk model is that there just aren’t many used ones out there so we’d have to buy new. We just couldn’t afford it. We are playing around with the idea of installing our own bunks (taking out the queen) or just putting in a U-shaped bed config for the 3 kids and leaving us out on the gaucho. Still going over our options. We know we don’t want to keep Cara on the floor indefinitely!ReplyCancel

  • Mike Key

    Did you guys build your gaucho yourselves as an addition to your airstream?ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      The gaucho came built into the model. Not sure which ones it comes standard in, but we helped Calypso learn after 2 years in hers that she had one too. 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Christie Scott

    I was wondering this! So glad you posted about it thank you!ReplyCancel

  • Michael Gravel

    Follow you guys on Instagram and stumbled upon this with a search for “how to sleep 5 in an airstream”. We are a family of five thinking of hitting the road full time starting this Summer, we currently have the same Airstream as you (@michaelgravel on instagram – pardon the few posts). When we head out we put the dinette down and pull out the bed and each twin sleeps there (10 yr olds) the 5 year old sleeps in the FB with us but thats gonna change she is crazy jumping bean in there. Exploring all kinds of ways on where to put her, one idea is to sew a canvas cot that can hang from the cabinets above the dinette and attach somewhere on the AS wall on the other side. She only weighs 35 lbs now. Her sisters suggested just putting her in the cabinet above the FB.ReplyCancel
