From the launch of our newest, powerful off-grid-capable trailer and an exciting new limited edition touring coach, to the restoration of the very first riveted aluminum Airstream and collaborations with creative musicians, chefs, and more, 2024 was full of adventure, innovation, and creative expression.
It was also a year of helping Streamers discover new travel horizons and helping Dreamers discover which model and floor plan is right for their travel style. New models hit the scene with upgraded features, longtime favorites received design and decor refreshes, and our popular series of Comparison Guides provided new perspectives on what makes each model unique. And over at our official store, Airstream Supply Company, we’ve found even more ways to deliver custom products that enhance your Airstream experience and inspire new adventures over the next hill.

Trade Wind Lineup Expands with New 23FB Floor Plan
The most popular Airstream travel trailer floor plan in Model Year 2024 welcomed a new sibling to its model line: The Airstream Trade Wind 23FB Travel Trailer hit the scene in August 2024 with incredible off-grid capability inside a smaller, 23-foot floor plan. Like its larger sibling, the Trade Wind 23FB is equipped with three chassis-integrated 270Ah heated Lithium Battle Born batteries that form an 810Ah battery bank – more than four times the battery capacity of most other Airstream travel trailer models. It also has a 3,000W inverter that allows owners to run the microwave and air conditioner even when far from shore power.
