Before starting to build the bunk bed for our Airstream Sport 22FB, I wanted to make a 3D model so we could really visualize how it would look and so I could be sure to get all the measurements correct. I didn’t have 3D modeling skills, so step 1 was to learn how to use Sketchup.

We loved our little Airstream Sport 22 camper during our 5-month adventure. However, having the girls both share the dinette bed isn’t totally ideal. Our 5-year-old told us she missed having her own bed. To that end, it’s my goal to replace the dinette in the Airstream with bunk beds.

Going into this trip, I wasn’t really sure if our life on the road would cost more or less than our life at home. We had the additional income of renting out our house, but we also had additional expenses such as campground fees and additional gasoline. Here I’ll look back at the costs associated with our travel.

We love our current van, Dimes. However, we didn’t purchase him to be a tow vehicle. When we bought the van we were envisioning weekend to week-long trips. The van is perfect for that. Now, however, we’re focussed on longer-term travel towing our Airstream, Wobbles. For that purpose, Dimes could be improved upon.

We spent days unpacking Wobbles, Dimes and the house basement. We were determined to make our home ours again as fast as possible. Organizing makes us happy so it worked out. We also had another opportunity to filter all that was brought back into our home which is always a good thing.

The morning of our last day on the road was bitter sweet. We had explored so much together and managed to end this amazing journey loving each other and wanting to do more exploring like this in the near future. However, nothing can compare to coming home to a home.

From the Redwoods National and State Parks we headed north to Crescent City where there was another ranger station where the girls could turn in their Jr Ranger booklets and take their pledge. While in the town we saw the Shoreline RV Campground. Since it was within a short walk to the visitor center and it was approaching dinner time, we decided to stay there for the night.

This was the third day that the rain had been staying steady here in California. Where there are big trees, there is rain. We stayed in the scenic yet soggy Elk Prairie Campground within Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park for one night. The drive from Santa Rosa to the Redwood State Park was greatly flooded due to the heavy rain.

Justin had made an appointment a couple days prior for us to all tour the Living Vehicle. The Living Vehicle is a camper/tiny home that is very well built and laid out. The guy who started the company and created the design used to remodel Airstreams. He took what he didn’t care for and what he loved in Airstreams and created the Living Vehicle which is designed to be lived in full time.

First of all, CA is expensive! It has been tricky to find a campground under $70 per night. We figured as long as we were getting ripped off everywhere we might as well stay at a KOA and get the perks of things the kids will enjoy.
