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.

Actually Airstreams don't do so well in winter wet weather! The Body seam around the trim at the bottom of the trailer has the underskin lipped over the top of the skin on the side so when it rains, the inside of the bottom fills up with water! This seam is heavily dependent on glue. I would recommend a Holiday Rambler instead! Seriously!
