Stay the night in an Airsteam trailer on a rooftop RV park

Never in a million years would you think seven Airstream trailers would be perched high atop a South Africa hotel to be rented out as RV penthouses.  The collection of 1959-1981-era travel trailers are billed as the world's first penthouse caravan park.

The vintage travel trailers were hoisted onto the roof of the four-story Grand Daddy Hotel in Cape Town by businessman Jody Aufrichtig. When the rooftop RV park opens later this month (or, more likely, after certain permit issues are settled), guests can take a drink from the rooftop bar, view a movie in an outside cinema and even collect mail from their own U.S.-style mailbox.

Each two-bed trailer is decorated in a distinctive theme including the Ballad of John and Yoko, featuring a giant bed and musical instruments; a polka dot design that creates optical illusions; Goldilocks and the Three Bears with a largely wooden interior and a bunk bed for baby bear; and the "Love of Lace" which is designed in plush upholstery and draped fabrics mostly in pink.

And, no, the trailers cannot be pulled in a different spot for a better view of the city or the oceanfront. They're all bolted down, going nowhere.


Interesting RV Forum:
RVer Veterans: Here is the place where RVtravel.com forum members gather to exchange information about affairs that are common to veterans who also love to travel by RV. There is a lot of good information passed along here, some of it can help vets save some dollars on programs they may not know about.
