Today, we are starting from the very base- the steel trailer everything sits on- of our vintage Silver Streak travel trailer and building from the literal ground up! We bought our 1982 Silver Streak trailer with the intent of making it into our dream tiny home. A Silver Streak trailer is an aluminum "canned ham" camper similar to an Airstream, Streamline, or Spartan. Little did we know that this would be a complete travel trailer renovation and be a top-off rebuild, meaning we had to completely separate the top shell from the steel trailer frame. While many would see this as a fail and scrap the junker at the metal yard, we saw a travel trailer remodel and rebuild as the perfect challenge. Join us as we learn the ins-and-outs of rebuilding and living in a vintage travel trailer. We began this rebuild in 2018 and have since bought a cabin the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Our plans now are to use our Silver Streak as a guest house and AirBNB rental. In our last video, we shared with you our Silver Streak travel trailer purchase, and how our dreams were dashed by the realization that it was in worse shape than we thought. The subfloor was not only rotted throughout, but the steel trailer the entire camper sits on had terrible structural rust that would need to be repaired. The only way to remove the old plywood subfloor completely and to access the frame was to do a top-off rebuild. After removing the entire aluminum shell off of the trailer, we began the process of sanding and repairing the metal. In this video, we tackle rust prevention and discuss our decision to use Advantech OSB for our subfloor. Want to Get Involved? Awesome!

Are we REALLY alone at our cabin in the woods? We have few neighbors, lots of privacy, but is someone hiding on our land? This is our life in the rural Upper Peninsula. Hey there! We are Adam and Janelle and we recently bought a cabin on a 12 acres in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Everyday is an adventure here when it comes to fixing it up and turning this property into our dream homestead and tiny home. We are so excited to bring you along on this journey with us! We are DIYing as much as we can, learning as we go, and doing it all on a budget. Be prepared, because we rarely know what we are doing! Be sure to subscribe if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a cabin tiny-home, and all the chaos that we seem to welcome. This week, we face the fear of having a criminal hiding in our woods, we battle the heat, enjoy blissful thunderstorms, collect more water than we can store, and Adam embraces the "no neighbors, no pants" lifestyle.

This Arizona Town is Populated with Wild Donkeys! Aren't ghost towns supposed to be empty? Full of tumbleweeds and rotting window shutters and maybe a few ghosts? Well, this ghost town has all those things, but also it has one very special thing making is a must-see on any Route 66 road trip; wild donkeys, aka burros. In today's episode, we turn our nomad wheels toward one of the Route 66 Arizona Ghost Towns and visit Oatman Arizona, aka "The Ghost Town that Won't Die", where wild burros roam freely!

If you know us, you know our story already. If you are new to our lives, here's the synopsis. We met in 2003 at an All Region Band concert because we are both nerds. He played trombone, I played French horn. We locked eyes across the music stands and then a few weeks later, I asked him to my prom, fell in love, and the rest is history. In 2018 we sold our home and bought our first camper. After two months we bought our second camper; a beat up, falling apart, rusted to literal pieces 1982 Silver Streak 3411 Supreme. Then we spent the next 1.5 years painstakingly rebuilding it into a modern, beautiful tiny home we call 'Dabby'. We now travel full-time in our van, Bendigo, a Ford Transit 250, which we also built ourselves and are looking for land to homestead in our beautiful Silver Streak on. #ghosttown #vanlife ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSvX3qTnYKQ
