History & Heritage

Airstreamers today are writing chapters to a story that began almost a century ago. Every time they hit the road, they chart a new course in travel adventure – one laid out by Airstream founder Wally Byam in 1931. Are you ready to write your own chapter in this iconic story?

Long-Lasting Quality

Built to Last Generations

When other RVs might crumble into dust, Airstreams pass the test of time. For decades, they've been handed down from generation to generation, passed on to family members, friends, or new adventurers – and they look just as great in their 30th year as they did in their first. That’s the quality standard we hold ourselves to.

Iconic Airstream Travel Trailers
Towable Trailers Unlike Any Other

Our riveted, aluminum travel trailers turn heads as they roll down the highway, offering the very best towing experience, all the comforts of home, and an adventure that rethinks what's possible.

Aerodynamic Exterior

Airstream’s patented aerodynamic, low-profile shape naturally delivers low wind resistance, creates less draft, and offers a more comfortable towing experience. Side winds are reduced as well, with sway almost unnoticeable even in heavy winds. The sleek shape means a tow vehicle’s fuel efficiency can be improved up to 20% over similarly-sized travel trailers.

Seamless Composite Flooring

In Model Year 2021, Airstream travel trailers transitioned to using pre-cut, waterproof, recyclable composite flooring in towable products.This state-of-the-art composite plastic flooring is engineered for firmness under foot, strength, and screw retention.

Simple, Confident Towing

Each wheel has its own suspension, and the premium rubber torsion axle absorbs fifty percent more road vibration than industry-standard leaf springs, minimizing road shock transferred to the body of the trailer. This allows for a more stable towing experience. And because each axle is independent, dual-axle models can be towed short distances even with a flat tire.

Luxury Travel Experience

No matter which model you choose, an Airstream’s interior conveys a warm sense of comfort and style. Everything included in the design – bathroom, shower, kitchen, bedroom, and a comfortable living space with modern appliances, climate control, and entertainment systems – is included.

The iconic streamlined design of Airstream travel trailers inspired our travel van lineup to be just as sleek. That’s why we build every step, awning, and storage compartment door to fit, close, and look like a seamless part of the body design. And it’s why we make every effort to maintain the clean, luxury automotive design of the van chassis we start with.
