My first two winters in my sprinter were spent at 8000 feet in the Colorado mountains, so I know some of these experiences well… Though I’ve actually been strangely grateful I didn’t install plumbing. (Probably not strange to you 😅) But to this day I still love how much closer small/mobile living keeps me to nature, to the outdoors… I usually feel stifled in normal houses anymore.
I almost upgraded/expanded to an airstream at one point (actually bought one for one hot month, lol, but turned it around at a slight profit when I realized I was in over my head. Truth is: I never wanted to own a truck 😂 ) So I’ll stick with my sprinter until I have a spot to put a tiny home or something…
After a few winters further south, I’m back in the Colorado mountains, but this time at only 6500 feet. It’s practically balmy in comparison. (Ok, I shouldn’t joke, winter has just begun…)
I definitely appreciate the simplicity of an integrated vehicle rather than towing a trailer! Hoping you have a mild winter to ease you back into Colorado mountain living this season :-).
It was amazing to read about all the essentials you and Beau enjoyed doing on a daily basis to take care of your beautiful Airstream. I will always remember how impressive and luxurious the interior was during the time I spent 3 days with you to celebrate my birthday in Glacier National Park. There was no snow at that time. Reading about all you had to do to keep the Airstream a comfortable place to live...The two of you are so adventurous! Made me pause and wonder how the pioneers crossed the west in the mid 1800's in covered wagons...Hats off to both of you for your skills and enthusiasm to build such a life during that period of your lives together!
