This is a look inside the Airstream. Her name is Silver Cloud.
We purchased the twin bed model. The beds are lager enough for the two of us.
Love the pillows.
The TV in the bed room.

Here are a few pictures of the inside of the camper. We have twin beds. In the pictures I have the dining table down for a lounge look. I will post more pictures.
Well we finally picked up the Airstream.
We left after work on Thursday, picked up the old camper and headed down to Grand Rapids. We had to get the old camper the night before because the storage place opens at 10 am and we had to be in Grand Rapids at 9 am for the walk through and orientation for the new camper. The drive to the Airstream dealership is 2.5 hours from our house.
We arrived in Grand Rapids around 11:30 pm so we decided to stay at a rest stop. We were going to stay at a hotel but what to do with the camper? Can we fit in the parking lot of a hotel with the camper? So the rest stop was the next best choice so I thought. Sounded good in theory but well, where do I start.
It started to rain, and the temperature dropped that night and it became very cold. We slept in the old camper with no lights or heat. We had plenty of blankets but it did not help. Besides the cold the noise was unbearable. I am a light sleeper so what was I thinking staying at a rest stop. Our first "boon docking" experience. If you can call it that.
I woke up every 3-4 hours. I got a bad headache in my left temple, and had to take an excedrin without any water. What a night. I will post pictures of the inside of the camper as soon as I can figure out why they will not load onto the Mac.
Well we got to the Airstream dealership around 9:20 am and started our journey. All went well the orientation seamed to take all day. I just wanted to eat and go back to bed.
The only problem we encounterd was that they forgot to install our awning. So they will have them ordered and install them at another date. We had two minor issues that they were able to fix before we left. Well here are two videos that I was able to load. More to come.

Well next Friday we will go to pick up the Airstream. Can not wait. Next week can not get here fast enough. I will post the pictures. We will spend the night at the dealership they have an extensive orientation. I will video tape it because I know that I will not remember everything and will need a reference. I hope the move from one trailer to the other do not take long. Well until next week.

Well we have started our count down for the Airstream. 22 days and counting. I must say I am not as excited as I thought I would be. I guess once the days are shorter I will become more excited. We were not able to sell our current camper to family as we would have liked so we are trading it in. I will post the pictures once we pick it up. Can not wait. I just really want to camp. I am tired of being indoors.
Well we spoke to the airstream dealer and we should, I say should take possession of the camper in April. I do not care as long as we have it before the start of camping season in MI. We would love to go camping now but its not quite warm enough for me. We will spend the first night at the dealer to make sure everything is working as it should and to learn all we need.
I have a few more decorations for the camper. I have more decorative pillow cases and a few odds and ins. Some of the items we purchased are not glamorous such as wheel chock and leveling blocks. I will post the pictures.
We have about 10 camping trips planed for this season, and we will do our random camping trips.We will do our first Halloween camping with the nieces and nephews. I hope the family will join us and rent a cabin. Well more to come.
Well I thought by now I would have information about the Airstream. No such luck. I guess the factory is so busy, they have not responded to my purchase order as of yet. Well I guess we have to be patient and just wait. This weird warm Michigan weather is making me want to get out and camp. I just hope that once it does get warm I have the new camper, if not will continue to use what we have.
I am still working on the color scheme for the airstream. I have some beautiful throw pillows and a few accessories. Will post the picture when I am in the new camper.
