If you haven’t seen the writing on the walls, inbetween the lines of the blog or heard it in my voice, that little voice inside me is directing me in new directions. Airstreaming has connected me back with my art and my heart. And now it is time to dig further into making my art. Also the last three years have shown me how important it is to stay connected to close friends and families. That said, Airstreaming has given me the courage to jump knowing there will be a landing. I don’t need to know all of the details up front. I am working my way back into some kind of sticks and bricks where I can have a home studio. This will give me the freedom to paint a little more freely, and not have to worry about space or how much sells or what studio rent will be. Plus, if you have been following me you know how much I love hurricane force wind and ice storms in my trailer. My trailer did well taking me through it all. Now it is time to find something that doesn’t leave me wondering if I’ll make it through or dragging heavy generators out because of power outages. Its time to say good bye to Nefelibata and let someone else have beautiful adventures with her while she is still in good shape. So, yes, my Airstream is for sale. And yes, I’m selling it before knowing exactly where I will land. I have a few landing places in mind, but for now, first things first. I’m focused on selling her.
I didn’t realize how physically and emotionally challenging this part of the job would be. If you are just starting trailer life, have an exit plan, but also have a plan B,C, and D because I guarantee your exit plan won’t go as planned. Anyhow, I thought I use this time to share abit about my Airstream. The add is currently running on Airstream Classified if you are seriously interested.

Slightly Used and Greatly Loved:
No, I don’t have the original bedding & pillows. I found in owning a travel trailer there is always something that needs to be done or you would like to do, or a part of the design that just didn’t work well. Because there are a few minor fixes to be done on my “to do next” list I’m selling the trailer discounted for $85K as a thank you for accepting it as is. And separate from the sale price I have a bunch of gear to gift to whoever buys the trailer.
The following items are the things that were next on my to do list. They are not urgent, but next on the list.
- The trailer needs new latches on front bedroom windows. Current ones work but don’t fully lock. Window also has the shade window over it so they aren’t going to open, but still needs new latches. (I never used that window so It hadn’t dawned on me to lubricate them. The others are top notch.)
- It needs a new motor on the back AC. Priced at a local RV Store you can pick one up for under $300. Add the cost of paying someone to put it in this is not a huge expense. Front AC is still functioning. I typically only ran one AC at a time or things would get too cold.
- The trailer has my AS number and wally sticker on the outside. I wasn’t sure if you might want to inherit the number? If so it needs to be paid to start up again. The number reflects the trailer’s age.
- Summer Bath
Upgrade that I did (It didn’t need much):
2 six volt AGM Batteries installed 2019
Mattress replaced 2019
New Tires April 2024
Design Flaws and my DIY
Kitchen Cupboards
The cupboards in this model had a recall for falling down. The Company said it was not necessary in my model. I also observed others get the recall work done, where the shelves were put back up the same way they were originally put up, only to fall again. I chose to hire a contractor and add extra long strong screws inside of cabinet to support my upper cabinet when mine looks like it was starting to slip, and have had no problems since then.
Bathroom Door handle
The handle kept falling off. After falling off twice, and learning replacement is $200 for the handle plus $110 for every hour worked on (as they are not so simple to put in yourself) when my handle finally locked me out of my bathroom) I got creative. I have wood trim glued to the door and side both outside and inside with old fashioned silver hooks. To keep door closed. It works like a charm.
Extra Gear includes things like Tire Monitoring system, Equalizer System, 2 Connectable Yamaha Generators combined at 3,000 (enough to run the AC), Surge Protector, Heated Hose, Wooden Porch steps and more.

As for my blog and Art…. we aren’t going anywhere. We’ll still see you down the road. As a matter of fact we hope to either have a car camper or van in the future and actually get on the road more than we did in a 28’trailer.
I had a really nice video with cool music but can’t quite figure out how to upload that so that is all I’ve got for you.
Thanks for keeping up with me on my journey. See you somewhere furthe down the road.
