Gutted Apple PowerMac G5 becomes great hitch storage locker
A month ago I decided to gut an Apple PowerMac G5 that was long broken. Since my profession is being an Apple Macintosh Computer Consultant, I often have dead or old Macs hanging around. Any of the Macintosh towers post 2004 will look like this so even a MacPro will work. They are all aluminum [...]
Video about how Airstreams are assembled
I just found this video on how Airstream travel trailers are bulit in Jackson Center, OH. They put many hours into one trailer. This is why every Airstream trailer is unique and has it’s own character. I just polished our DWR Airstream and when you get to touch every section on the exterior you realize [...]
DWR Airstream Interior Panorama
I created a quick panorama of the interior of our DWR Airstream. Camping in this bubble is like being in a 5 star hotel.
Upgrading the Stereo Head Unit on the DWR Airstream
So, after I upgraded the TV with a built-in DVD player, I no longer needed a stereo head unit that had DVD playback and a video out. What I did want was a head unit with iPod integration, so I went on a quest and after much research found the Sony CDXGT930UI car receiver. It was [...]
A Howling Beast: Replacing the Loud Refrigerator Fan on our DWR Airstream Trailer
My first modification to our DWR Bambi Airstream was to replace the refrigerator fan that howled. Imagine finding a quiet campsite, cuddling up in bed and then the fridge starts making this annoying buzzing sound. Since the fan is controlled by a heat sensor, it turns on and off at intermittent intervals. But, if it [...]
Sun, Saltwater. A Trip to the Florida Panhandle
Living in the deepfreeze that is Minnesota, we are always looking forward to a beach vacation. We were about to travel 3100 miles to get some sun and saltwater in our faces when the nose-biting cold bit us hard. It is difficult to think at -6 degrees Fahrenheit, especially when it comes to connecting a [...]
Winter Camping + Condensation = Yucky Mattress Mold
We just returned from a 3100 mile trip to the Florida Panhandle with our DWR Airstream, and to our dismay, we discovered that our mattress was starting to develop mold on the bottom. Moisture sans air flow is a breeding ground for mold. This was bound to happen if one looks at the construction of the mattress platform. Airstream [...]
My ears were confused
The four stock speakers in the DWR Airstream were $16 coaxial pieces of OEM crap, unfortunately. For the kind of money a DWR Airstream costs, I would have liked to see a more premium speaker system be standard. But, that’s not the case. So, I went out and searched for a suitable speaker replacement that [...]
Airstream + Volvo XC90 V8 Sport = Yes, we can!
I love Volvos, for many reasons, so I had to find one that could pull our new DWR Airstream. We went to our dealership and drove a used 2004 XC90 and it was uninspired. I talked to my wonderful sales person, Tristan Grobel at Borton Volvo in Minneapolis, MN and asked, “What about the new Sport Edition?” [...]
