space.” Creative outlet Sometimes Karla isn’t looking for a
new project, but the project finds her. She can’t help but stop if she sees an Air- stream for sale by the side of the road and keeps bills of sales in her glove box, just in case. On a recent trip to Springdale for her
daughter’s gymnastic meet, she spotted an Airstream parked by the road, and is considering purchasing it for a future project. This year, she plans to redo a 1972
Corsair, which she named “Ebullient Sun Drifter,” and is thinking of painting the outside turquoise and decorating the interior in bright yellow, accenting with map decoupage. Another vintage project is a 1972 Shasta Airflyte, named “Groovy No-
mad,” which will feature a 70s retro theme. She also has plans to redecorate a 2013 Coleman camper, named “Sweet Caroline,” and her family’s own new 2019 Grand Design Transcend, named “Lily,” bought at Great Escapes RV Su- percenter in Gassville, which will allow them to go camping as an entire family once again. She’s currently deciding what to do
with a 1970 Airstream Sovereign, which she named “Shiny Land Yacht, because its interior is in perfect, original condi- tion.
“I’m in between a camper flipper and
a camper hoarder,” Karla says. “It’s hard to sell them when I get them done, be- cause I love all of them.” She lists her campers for sale on sev-
eral vintage camper Facebook groups. Past buyers have been from Oklahoma, Texas, South Carolina and Georgia. “I love seeing other families getting
joy out of their campers,” Karla says, adding buyers have told her when they are parked at campgrounds, people want to peek inside. She’s often asked if she decorates
other people’s campers, but she de- clines, because she doesn’t wish to be constrained by a timeline. Sometimes people question if they can put down a down payment for a camper, because they want the next one she finishes, re- gardless of its style. While it’s flattering, she asks people keep an eye out for the next one listed for sale. For Karla, renovating campers is a
necessary creative outlet. “When I’m in here working on camp-
ers, I don’t think about anything else,” Karla says. “Whether you have one kid or seven kids, it’s healthy to have one thing you love. This is my thing.” Follow Karla Bradley’s projects on In- stagram @camperflippinmomma.■
