move like a stream of air

 If we set the rules and regulations for the much anticipated Coachella Valley Music Festival, then we'd be rollin' in one of these bad boys...
Unfortunately, we don't call the shots and rv's, trailers, and u-haul trucks of any sort are not permitted. While our dreams of spending the weekend in an airstream trailer have been squashed, see how it would/should be going down...
  5 fun facts about airstream trailers:  
1. Airstream founder Wallace Merle “Wally” Byam was born on July 4, 1896.
2. Wally Byam is said to have created the unique aluminum trailer in response to his wife’s refusal to go camping without a kitchen. 
3. In 1936, Wally stated that he is in business “to make people’s dreams come true.”
4. A customized 1957 Airstream was, for many years, prominently displayed at MTV’s headquarters in Santa Monica, CA.
5. When Airstream began, there were less than 48 trailer manufacturers that were registered for business. Five years later, nearly 400 companies squared off against each other. Today of those 400 companies, only Airstream remains.

  1. Wait! I drove a RV to Coachella last year... Not as cool as an airstream, but we did what we could, with a steer skull. It was sooo fun, but really scary to drive. Check it out...
