If you're like the rest of us peasants, then you've probably seen those who live out their insanely incredible van-life dreams and thought, "I could never keep up with all of that." But as the jealousy sets in, you have to admit that it's a pretty cool idea to confine all your life's belongings to a small space to take with you wherever you go. Thankfully, you can indulge in those dreams and meet yourself in the middle by renting out an Airstream Airbnb.
That's what's great about booking accommodations on Airbnb. They offer a diverse range of unique properties, and in this case, the coolest, decked-out Airstreams and campers for you to stay in during your trip. You can pretend for a little while that it's your RV that you're hauling across the country for the ultimate road trip and that you're the one keeping up with all the amenities. Don't worry-we won't tell anyone that you don't know how to fix the plumbing.
