The sun has just disappeared behind the mountains in the distance. The grilled steak was delicious. You sit outside in your old aluminum lawn chair enjoying a nice glass of wine and and watching the kids at play. There’s a soft warm glow reflected on your Airstream. The Sun Jar ($35) by designer Tobi Wong is a glass jar containing LEDs powered by a small solar panel. Catch the sun during the day and store it for night use. The nostalgic mason jar design reminds me of warm summer nights catching lightning bugs as a kid. Those were the days.

This is a new weekly post that will feature an interesting photo of an Airstream trailer. This week’s photo was captured by “the pentax hammer (gary)” and titled “Airstream – American Made” on flickr.

Take a fleet of seven vintage Airstream trailers, design unique interiors for each, plop them onto the roof of The Grand Daddy hotel in Cape Town, South Africa and you’ve got the Airstream Penthouse Trailer Park. Each trailer has been decorated with a specific theme in mind. There’s a Dorothy themed trailer with everything inside decorated in white polka dots, an Afro-Funk themed trailer featuring tribal patterns and pillows with Nelson Mandela’s face on them, and another theme Earthcote moontides transports you into an undersea world with jellyfish walls and earth tone fabrics. There’s even a walk-up mini-bar in the penthouse trailer park. I checked one of the trailer’s for booking and it’s about $260 per night. Other themes included The Ballad of John & Yoko, Love of Lace, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears and Pleasantville.

What happens when you sell all your posessions and embark on an adventure to discover your next permanent home? If your Kyle Bolstad you buy an Airstream International CCD 23′ and head into the Northwest. Kyle’s a web developer who sold all his stuff, bought an Airstream and left his home in Chicago to discover where he might be calling home next. Kyle even customized his trailer by replacing the couch with a desk and upgraded the dinette table. He tows his trailer with a VW Touareg and is currently camping at Elwha Dam RV Park near Port Angeles, WA. You can follow his adventures at WhereisKylenow.com.
