This is what happens. The day I thought would never come. I am trading in my Porsche Boxster to get this Airstream. It’s just like me to somehow skip the family van part and go straight for the senior lifestyle.  I think this decision should have triggered serious depression, but instead, I was excited.

THAT made me depressed.

I enjoy camping, but I dislike tent-living (sorry, I have to confess it). The zip-up/zip-down part of going in and out of the tents drive me nutso. I do love nice mobile homes though. Even at Burning Man, it made camping a luxury.

This thing is officially a “trailer” but it is close enough to a mobile home. I can use it as a guest house by parking it in the far back of my yard, and I can take the Giant Schnauzers on weekend trips without worrying about them taking down the tent every ten minutes.

To add to my existing confusion with life at 40, I discovered this item at Design Within Reach. They offer this for $429,000. It’s not the money that is confusing me. It’s the fact that trailers are now hip and trendy to the mass? Even chi-chi…

So what’s going to happen with the slang “trailer trash?”
