THE FIRST TIME STACEY KNEW THAT SOMETHING HAD TO CHANGE WAS WHEN she found herself shopping on weekends for the sake of filling her large house. She realized that she “wanted to shift, to live more simply.” “I’m a single person living in a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house—why do I need all this space?” she asked herself.

Something about Airstreams has always appealed to her. She looked forward to the day when she could travel the roads with her trailer in tow, seeking adventures. In the immediate period, though, the small space of the trailer would also provide a nice answer to the problem of living in a home that no longer met her needs.

When Stacey first started her journey to convert her Airstream trailer into a place that she would soon call home, her friends and family became worried. As she began to tell her friends what she was doing their response was, “Stace, call me any time if you need to talk.” Her stepmother was almost tearful, asking, “Why are you moving into a trailer? Why are you doing this?”

It left Stacey unsure of her path. “I honestly thought I was going to have a panic attack,” she says. But she moved forward, knowing this was going to challenge her. If nothing else, she would see if she could live in the Airstream for the summer. After the first week of living in her new home things just seemed right. She began to wonder, “How could I ever live in a big house again?”
