How would you go about turning an airstream into a permanent guest house? We have enjoyed our 31' 1977
Sovereign for the past 4 years as a weekend getatway parked on mountain property on which we are now building a log home.
We've never taken it on the road, and it would require some work I'm sure for someone to get it back down the mountain, and one of the tires has gone bad and it has vacuum brakes, so maybe I'm wrong but I think it might be difficult to find a buyer for it. My original idea was to actually entomb it in the basement as a rec-room/museum piece, but that's not an option at this point. Besides, it really is such a pleasant place from which to enjoy the out of doors. It has all the original interior and we just hate to part with it.
We might like to put it back in the woods, and since it would never have to roll again, maybe set it on it's own foundation. I don't think we'd want to put it under roof. Wouldn't really need to use it in the winter, more of a three season place.
Would be very grateful for advice from the creative minds in the community. Is this a workable? How would one go about dry docking the land yacht forever? What would be the best way to minimize infestation? Other considerations I've not even thought of?
