We named our swinger's pad "Presley". The original owner's last name was Presley, the Safari's decor reminded us of the Jungle Room and last, but not least, the Airstream even came complete with it's own bullett hole. We don't care for the decor (imagine that!) so it will all be coming OUT. I couldn't even talk Mark into keeping the square silver tiles behind the stove. Demo pics will be next, I promise.

Don't adjust your eyes. Yes, it is fur! All over the airstream. Hey, what's blue, white, yellow and silver all over? Our new camper, that's what! After we backed in our driveway and our two teenage daughters came aboard, they were SPEECHLESS.

Let's get the ugliest Airstream we can find

Well, honestly, I never expected anything less. I caught the camping fever last year. It came over me all of a sudden. Gas was high, I was contemplating buying a scooter (not really, but you can imagine if I did) and I thought "wouldn't it be fun to go camping?". My very industrious husband said "ok" and I was off! What kind to buy? I didn't care! I just wanted to GO CAMPING!!!

Mark thought it would cool to get an Airstream. I said "ok". I scoured ads all over the 'net and newspapers and actually found two in nearby Georgia. (We live in central Alabama.) After phone calls to the owners, we left with plans to see them both.

The first one was a Safari. I don't remember the year, but the trailer SEEMED in pretty decent shape. The owner had volunteered after Katrina and used it to live in for a year and a half. I was confident that she knew about the workings of the trailer. My husband wasn't so sure of this trailer since the owner didn't actually tow it and he wanted to be sure of the wheels, bearings, ect. since he had never towed a trailer before.
We went in search of the other trailer. I will let you look at the pictures and if you know my husband, it will be very clear why he chose THIS TRAILER.
Most of you won't know my husband, so I will explain:

He's VERY talented with tools. The uglier the better because the renovation will be SO DIFFRENT from the beginning pictures, the "wow factor" will be serious. Stay tuned...
