I know that there are people who live in them, full time, year round. I guess for one or two people that would not be that bad. It sort of got me thinking, should I buy an Airstream, and a few acres somewhere, and build up from there, as I get more money? I know that these trailers can be fixed up very nice, and do well in bad weather.

While I don't think I could ever divest myself enough to live in one fulltime (even if kids weren't in the equation), I could fully appreciate extended periods of travelling around in one. I've always loved Airstreams and do hope to buy one in the next couple years as a restoration project with the kids.
My father has just started semi-retirement and just took off today for 3 weeks of destinationless cruising (not with an Airstream but a new Forest River Flagstaff) along the east coast after he and my mother catch the Sprint Cup race in Martinsville next weekend.
If that's something you'd like to do and could handle living in that confined space, why not?
