Who & What?

We are an americano-swiss couple who love landscapes, design and nature. One day we decided to dream big and get an Airstream and start her renovation with our DIY skills. After a year of looking for the best RV who fit our dreams, we find her (Penny Lane) in Michigan. We decided to hit the road and cross 4 states and bring her back in Georgia to start her renovation! Airstreamers are a group of RVers who share a community spirit because of their mutual love of the trailers. In the early 1950s, Airstream company founder Wally Byam began leading groups of owners on travels to many portions of the world, where the towed trailers were quite remarkable. This promoted a mystique which surrounded Airstreams and persists to this day.
We wants to bring her in Switzerland where we both gonna live and still needs a lot of work.

Why?

Passionnate about american landscape and sixties design, our goal is to share with you our passion and make you feel that you are in Arizona back in 1967 when you are in the middle of… Switzerland!

Penny Lane needs you!

Both handy, we knows how to renovate her in a DIY way but sadly she needs way more than what we expected and need pros to work on electricity, plumbing etc. We want to renovate almost exactly like how she used to be in the 60’s. Vinyls and TV shows will be only from the sixties in the US.

Our goal

Our goal isnt renting for money. Sure, its gonna pay for all the work we have done but we want to share this amazing community of Airstream lovers. Help us to realize our dream and be able to share our passion with you! We want to share this mystic trailer and make you discover the world of a Airstream back in the day…
