My husband and I are considering retiring and living in an AS. Buying two properties, one where we live now in the Gulf Is. for summer and one somewhere in the southwest for winter.

We may do some travelling but our main motivation is cheap living. We figure that putting an AS on a lot would be much less expensive than building any small house.

If we sell our waterfront home, buy the 2 lots and Airstream, we could still put away a good amount for retirement fund.

My husband is eager to pursue this dream - I am the reluctant one.

I've been reading all the threads on downsizing and I do understand the benefits and positive feelings of getting rid of all the "stuff" in our lives, however almost all of my interests and hobbies are very "stuff" dependent.
Downsizing would mean letting go of everything I do and enjoy right now. But I may be willing and able to accomplish that, I just have to have some ideas on what to replace my interests with. In essence what to do with my life.
The idea of having two permanent bases is to be able to create gardens and outdoor spaces to live in - I love to garden. Also, we could have storage sheds, maybe even a garage.

So I guess my main question to all you folks (fulltimers and otherwise!) is :
What do you do all day when you're living in an Airstream?
Seriously, like from one hour to the next.
And what hobbies have you taken up that do not require space?

Thanks so much for any insights.
