Our "Home To Go"

Well, May was a very exciting month in our household... and not just because of Nolan's arrival! The weekend after our little dude arrived, B and Halle went out for a drive to take a look at a trailer. They came home several hours later with a cute 17', 1979 Boler travel trailer.

According to B, he knew they'd be bringing it home when they showed up to look at it and Halle exclaimed "Oh Daddy, it's beautiful!". Sure enough, it now resides at our home, eagerly awaiting all of the summer fun that we have planned for it. We figured something like this would make it much easier to get out camping this summer with our little guy.

Since we hope to be able to travel far and wide with our little family in the coming years, B had been on the hunt for a trailer that would work for us. We needed something comfortable, roomy enough for the 4 of us, and the dogs, and it had to be lightweight so that we could pull it with B's vehicle. This cute little Boler checked all of the boxes.

The best part, is this little trailer is nice and clean, so we can use it this summer and fall without making any big changes to it. However, we do have plans to spruce it up down the road. I've been busy on Pinterest looking for ideas and inspiration of what our little trailer will look like one day. You can find all of it here on my specific Boler board. For now, let's take a look at what our little home on wheels looks like...

Upon entering the trailer, you'll find our little dinette to the right. It all folds down into a double size bed, which will become a spot for B and I to snooze. There is a ton of storage around that area, and it seems that the previous owner got some new foam and upholstery fabric for the seating fairly recently. It's really comfortable and in awesome condition!

Beside the dinette is a small washroom with a toilet and shower. There is a small hot water tank in the trailer, so when we're camping somewhere without showers (like our island camping trip last summer), we'll all still be able to wash up easily. Plus, using the toilet at night will be much easier. Next to the washroom in more storage and a small fridge. Under the fridge you can also see the small vent for our heater. Perfect for cool nights and fall or spring camping trips!

Along the back is more seating that folds out into a double bed. The cupboard above can fold out to make it a bunk, but it wouldn't hold much more than our almost 4 year old girl. We'll probably make some big changes to that area in the future!

We also have a great little kitchen with lots of storage, a stove and oven and little sink. Perfect for rainy days or cooking when there is a fire ban. I have a feeling that the latter is something we will experience quite a bit of during this hot dry summer they are predicting for us.

So that's your first look at our little home on wheels! I can't wait to share all of the trips we will take in this thing, as well as the inevitable transformation of the interior! 

Anyone have any camping trips planned for this summer? Any glampers out there, or planned transformations of vintage trailers - I'll take all of the inspiration I can get at this point!
