Family Builds an RV Carport in 1 WEEK!

Family of 6 builds a permanent metal truss cover for their renovated vintage Airstream with no construction background. This DIY custom designed ‪@miracletrussbuildings‬ building will provide a final resting place for this piece of our family’s history for years to come on our off-grid desert homestead - and maybe even one day become an AirBnB. This project is more than just a cover! It also includes a cement pad foundation, equipment rental, rainwater catchment, solar powered filtrated water pump house, gray water septic, and AC power provided from our off-grid solar system. It’s a big step for both our family and our homestead - and we hope you’ll join us.
