Meet Charlotte

My first time stepping foot in an Airstream was a new rig my family friend had purchased. The walls had a bright shiny interior, reclining chairs, and coral colored pillows. It was like a spaceship that rolled. I really never thought I would be able to have one for my own. I sure did dream about it. 

My first travel trailer was a vintage 1964 Holiday Rambler that I lovingly restored.

I was in a horrible car accident flipped and rolled that 16 foot travel trailer on a bridge 11 stories above a river in my vintage Jeep Wagoneer. The memories are still painful. When the opportunity presented itself to purchase a 32 foot 1986 Airstream Excella… I went for it! I figured go big or go home. 

I had so much help from a dear family friend and others in the group teaching me how to set a hitch, practicing towing/parking/backing up. Fixing stuff on your trailer at rallies; seems to be a common thing. Today I have owned five different Airstreams of varying length and ages over the last 10 years. I continue to learn every time I tow, every time I set camp up, and every time I break camp down. There’s always a new trick or helpful tip I learn along the way.  

I grew up tent camping, so anything to keep the rain off me is a luxury. I love the American icon that we all call AIRSTREAM it’s just fun going to rallies wether it be 2 trailers or 300. It’s always an adventure in silver.

I currently have a 2022 twin FB international hatch. She’s a beauty, my Excella needs a little attention and care, we’re working on it. Hopefully by the end of the year I will be able to finish my 1976 23 foot Caravanner that was marketed as the party barge. Oh, if those walls could talk.

I hope you’ll join me in spreading the joy and kindness of AIRSTREAM adventure, part of the proceeds from the items you purchase go to local charities. If you have a group in mind, you would like to share the love with drop us a note. 

See you down the road…
