Living Riveted With Chad

A lot can change in a year!

Last August, Laura and I traveled to York, PA, for the 68th Airstream Club International Rally.

While we were there, I finally had the chance to meet Brad of 13 Adventures. I mentioned that I was thinking about opening an independent Airstream repair shop. Little did I know, that simple conversation would set so much in motion.

Brad connected us with Jonathan Penn, owner of Ramble Texas. Last fall, we flew down to Texas to meet him and his wife, and before long, we decided to partner together on this new adventure. Ramble NC officially opened in January! This year, we all came together in Minot to celebrate Ramble—and to reflect on just how far we’ve come in such a short time. (And no, Brad and I did not intentionally wear the same shirts as last year!)

But that’s not the only change! At last year’s rally, Laura was just a few weeks pregnant. This year, Leah experienced her first Airstream rally! In a pretty perfect full-circle moment, our first date night as parents was at Airstream Prom.

We’re incredibly grateful for where this road has taken us, and we can’t wait to see what the next year holds!

What a great week in Minot, North Dakota, for the 69th Airstream Club International Rally!

We got to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. We explored Minot, ate great food, and danced at Airstream Prom. Plus, we got to introduce Leah to the amazing Airstream community!

We’ll be seeing you down the road!

❤️❤️

Minot, you were something special. 🤍

A huge thank you to the incredible volunteers, the entire ACI staff, and all of the wonderful exhibitors who continue to invest in and support the legacy of Airstream and this truly one-of-a-kind community.

We had an absolutely spectacular time connecting with old friends, making new ones, and spending a week surrounded by people who share such a genuine love for life on the road.

We’re leaving Minot incredibly grateful for the conversations, the encouragement, the laughs, and everyone who stopped by to spend some time with us.

Until next time—we’ll see you down the road… or at the shop!

We’re back!!

For the first time in nearly a year, Laura and I are shooting walk-around videos!

A big thanks to Airstream of Minnesota for letting us shoot in their display at the 69th Airstream Club International Rally. We got to see the updated interior for the Flying Cloud, the new dinette option for the 23 foot International, the all-new 27 foot Trade Wind and more. Plus Brian, a salesperson with Airstream of Minnesota, gave us a tour of the brand new World Traveler. We’ll be posting all the videos on YouTube in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
