Bold Adventure,
My brother completed a doctoral thesis in finance recently, and he determined that the single most expensive decision that couples ever make is to have children, to the tune of nearly $250,000 apiece in the United States.
Once the actual dollar amount was determined, he set about trying to find out why they are so expensive... The answer was simple:
They're worth it!

GreggH - please give me some more details about how you made your stained glass inserts. I have been thinking about trying one for our bathroom window, but not sure I have the required skill. Is this something that requires a lot of experience?

I'm a little late to this party.
What I've bought so far for my Airstream:
1. Progressive PD4655 converter/charger
2. LED lighting for interior lights and exterior scare light.
3. Replaced the chandelier over the dinette with a dome light (kept bumping my head on the chandelier when we took the dinette down to make a super lounge)
4. 5 new Michelin tires. TireTraker TPMS
5. Simplehuman wall mount paper towel holder
6. Replaced two 120v outlets with ones that include integrated USB connections
7. Coated the bottom of the pull out bumper storage tray with a brush on pickup bedliner material.
8. Shurflo water accumulator
9. New Barker Superjack after I tried to tow my Airstream without the hitch pin in the receiver.
My wish list:
1. Replace my 2 skylights with Maxim skylights and reseal all the Fantastic Fan and plumbing vents.
2. Some sort of rear view camera system.
3. Upgrade the Sony LCD 23" TV to a larger LED TV.
4. Revamp the stereo system to something like a Jenson or Furrion wall mount entertainment system. Remove the Sony 10 disc changer.
5. 200 watt portable solar panel system.
6. I'd like to get access hatches cut into the waste and water tank covers so I can service the water drain and waste tank valves.
7. Convert to a SeeLevel tank monitor system.
8. Baraldi stove vent hood.
9. Fresh paint for the A frame and rear bumper top.
10. New vinyl flooring.
11. Jack TV antenna head on the Winegard antenna boom.
12. Replace all the bolts securing my stabilizer jacks. Some bolt heads have broken off.

Congrat, a real cutie. We had five in 7 years before I was 30, last three Irish Triplets!
Oh I ordered a coleman fold and go grill today. I wanted q, but too much to store inthe Bambi. My tv does not have room to store, it is used for work.

Bought Simple human soap dispensers for bath, kitchen and shower, new quilts all for our new Classic due to be here in 1 month and 1 day. I can probably get it down to the hour as well, but dealership hasn't given me the time yet!!! IT CAN'T GET HERE QUICK ENOUGH!!!

The new converter was less than $300
The 5 Michelin tires were about $850. They were needed because the tires needing to replaced were 6 year old Goodyear Marathons.
The TPMS was about about $225
The LED upgrade were repacement bulbs and strops. Less than $200.
The paper towel holder was about $25
The 2 120V USB sockets wee about $50
Rear bumper tray coating about $30
Shurflo was about $30.
Future upgrades will be more expensive but cheaper than a new Airstream. However, I really like the 2015 FC 25RB Twin.

Even if you parked your AS over the weekend to wash it the worse you should get is a letter from the HOA stating you have to remove the trailer within 10 days. You'd have yours back in storage before the 10 days. If you contact the HOA you could tell them ahead you need to park the trailer for a couple of days to perform maintenance and then return it to storage. If they won't let you do it they are a bunch of Nazis and you need to move.

Most HOA's allow you 72 hours for loading and unloading a trailer in front of your house (our's does) so bring it home three days later move her back.
