When it comes to life’s adventures, Home Town's Erin Napier and her husband Ben Napier are all in. Recently, the dynamic duo took to Instagram to share a big family purchase that’s got their fans buzzing with excitement. In a world where home renovations reign supreme, this time, they’re trading in bricks and mortar for something on wheels.

Meet Gru: The Napier Family’s New Camper

On July 27, Erin, a mom of two and the face behind countless stunning home transformations, posted a heartwarming update about the family's latest acquisition—a brand-new camper named Gru. Alongside their beloved Airstream, "Jolene," the Napiers are ready to embrace a new chapter of family adventures. Erin shared the news with her signature charm, explaining why Gru was a necessity for their growing family.

In her caption, Erin joked about Gru's rugged exterior, saying, “He’s ugly on the outside, but real sweet on the inside.” But don’t let the tough looks fool you. This camper is a labor of love, designed to accommodate their growing family’s needs. Erin and Ben worked tirelessly to create a space that would serve as their “cheapest beach, lake, and mountain house all in one.”

The Inside Scoop: Gru’s Unique Features

Gru’s transformation didn’t happen overnight. The camper was originally purchased from a family who sourced it from the talented folks at @driftless_rv_renovators. Erin and Ben then took the reins, customizing the interior to suit their family’s unique lifestyle. For instance, they updated the bedroom and bunk areas to accommodate Ben, who Erin affectionately refers to as a "giant," and their two daughters, Helen and Mae, who have a knack for loving wallpaper and blackout curtains. It’s clear that no detail was overlooked in making Gru a true home on wheels.

In one of the photos, Ben, the master woodworker and proud dad, is seen sitting on the floor with his daughters, Helen and Mae, as they play with their toys in front of the kitchen. The scene is pure joy, showcasing the cozy ambiance of their new camper. Fans couldn’t help but notice how Ben, ever the hands-on dad, effortlessly melts hearts with every moment captured.

Inside, Gru is nothing short of a masterpiece. The living space features a patterned carpet, pristine white cabinets, and even a digital fireplace for those chilly nights. The bunk beds for Helen, 6, and Mae, 3, are thoughtfully placed in the background, while the master bedroom boasts striped curtains and an olive green bedspread. It’s a harmonious blend of functionality and style, proving that the Napiers’ design expertise extends far beyond traditional homes.

Fans React and a Special Guest Comment

Country music superstar Miranda Lambert chimed in with a comment that resonated with many, saying, “Camp life is the best life.” Miranda, known for her own love of vintage trailers, previously showcased her 1954 Flying Cloud in a video with People magazine. Her appreciation for the simple joys of camping life clearly aligns with the Napiers’ new venture.

For longtime Home Town fans, this isn’t the first time the Napiers have dipped their toes into the world of mobile homes. Back in June 2020, Erin and Ben renovated their first Airstream during an episode of their HGTV show. The project was a gift from friends Chris and Morgane Stapleton, and it quickly became a cherished part of their family’s adventures.

Since then, Erin has shared how much joy the camper has brought to their family. “We’ve taken three camping trips since quarantine began and have four more scheduled before summer’s end,” she revealed. With Gru now part of the family, the Napiers are set to create even more unforgettable memories as they explore the country together.
