Airstream Trailer Weight: a Guide with Stats for Each Model

Published on July 28th, 2020 by Levi Henley (Full-Time RVer, Content Manager and Media Specialist for RV LIFE)

People see advertisements with mid-size SUVs connected to 25-foot travel trailers. Yet when they see something like an Airstream Caravel in a similar ad, it’s connected to a full-size SUV. Many wonder how much does a 25-foot airstream trailer weigh and why the difference? We’ll show you the average Airstream trailer weight in a guide with stats with each model.

When you look at how much an Airstream Bambi trailer weighs compared to other brands of similar lengths, you’ll see how different they truly are. The construction materials, building methodologies, and components set Airstream apart from all other manufactures in the RV industry.

This difference is part of the reason why 75% of all Airstreams are still on the road today. If you’re looking to buy one of these iconic RVs, understanding their weight is a great start. You’ll need the right tow vehicle, how much you can load them up, and other important facts to properly care for your travel trailer.

Airstream trailer weight terminology.

Airstream uses its own terminology to describe various weight values. We’ll define these terms and show you their universally accepted counterparts.

• Unit Base Weight (UBW): UBW is the Dry Weight or Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW) of the RV. This is the weight of the coach when it’s completely empty.
• Gross Vehicle Weight (GVWR): The GVWR is a universally accepted term. It is a rating the manufacture publishes telling both official governing bodies and consumers what the maximum amount of weight the RV can hold safely.
• Net Carrying Capacity (NCC): The NCC is universally known as the Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC). It tells owners how much storage weight the coach can hold.
• Hitch Weight (HW): Other manufacturers refer to this as Tongue Weight (TW). This is the pressure put on the hitch of the tow vehicle. The best weight is between 10-15% of the RV’s Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). If it’s too light, you’ll have a lot of sway. Heavier percentages overstress the vehicle’s suspension and other towing focused parts.

Understanding Tow Weights of Airstream Trailers

Airstreams have three major size levels. All Airstream models within the levels share commonalities that can confuse the untrained eye. Later, we’ll discuss how each model is different from each other.

Meanwhile, to help you start to understand Airstream travel trailers, we’ll show you the shared factors that each level has to help your prepare for the towing weight of an Airstream trailer.

Small Level

There are eight models of Airstream travel trailers. Four of them fall under the small lightest weight Airstream category.

Each one of these models has an average GVWR under 4,700 pounds. They also have lengths ranging from 16 to 22 (21.8) feet.

For those looking to balance pulling power with fuel efficiency, mid-size pickups (also known as a quarter-ton) or full-size SUVs are a great option. Allowing about 1,500 pounds for cargo weight, passenger weight, and driving horsepower, you’ll want a vehicle with a towing capacity with at least 6,200 pounds or more.

Mid-Size Level

The mid-size Airstream models include the Flying Cloud, International, and Globetrotter. All three models measure between 23-30 feet in length and have a GVWR of 7,475 pounds.

The best tow vehicle for a 30-foot Airstream in this level or one of the shorter versions must focus on pulling power. Half-ton trucks are going to be your best option for these travel trailers. If you’re looking for an SUV, the Ford Expedition with the heavy tow package has a capacity of up to 9,300 pounds.

Car manufactures have been doing a lot to make their half-ton pickups more fuel-efficient in recent years. Even with the Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB weight behind it, your truck will get more miles per gallon today than previous year models.

Full-Size Classic

The Classic is the only model that fits in the full-size category. The GVWR is 10,000 pounds and it comes in either 30 or 33 feet in length. Towing this legendary icon takes real muscle.

Three-quarter ton trucks like the Ram 3500 have the power and size to pull the Classic comfortably. This class of truck has a towing capacity of up to 15,000 pounds. Fuel efficiency isn’t calculated for these heavy-duty trucks, but best estimates are 10 city and around 14 highway.

Certain half-ton trucks with heavy towing packages are capable of towing the Classic. The Ford F-150’s 3.5L EcoBoost V6 has the option to come with a towing capacity of up to 13,000 pounds from the factory. Talk to your truck dealer for more details.

Average Weight by Airstream Model and Other Features

• Average Dry Weight: 3,075 pounds
• Average GVWR: 3,900 pounds
• Average NCC: 850 pounds
• Average HW: 473 pounds
• Floorplans: 4
• Starting Price: $38,400

The Basecamp series started in 2016 and quickly became Airstream’s top-selling model. It started with the 16-foot model. Recently the 20-foot model came into the world with two multi-functional dinettes that fold down for additional sleeping space for four people.

The new “X” version allows your Basecamp to go off-road. The rear hatch allows you to store long items down the center aisle while you’re traveling.

Airstream does a great job keeping the Basecamp protected with the front corner rockguards. They also place all of hookup connections strategically so your mini Silver Bullet looks sleek and stylish driving down the road.

• Average Dry Weight: 3,350 pounds
• Average GVWR: 4,000 pounds
• Average NCC: 700 pounds
• Average HW: 375 pounds
• Starting Price: $42,900

Aluminum and Airstream are like peanut butter and jelly. When you think of this RV manufacturer, everyone’s first thought is of an airplane-quality aluminum shell with rounded edges in a twinkie-shaped design. That’s until the Nest came along.

Airstream wanted to try their hand in the fiberglass realm but had little experience with it. Once they found Robert Johans and his design, Airstream knew they had something special. They bought his design, brought him on board, and finished it with the features and quality you would expect from them.

The Nest has a rear entry door, wet bath, and all of the features you could ask for in a 16-foot trailer. It comes with either a front bed or a front dinette that folds down. Critics generally prefer the memory foam bed over the dinette when it comes to comfort, but having the versatility of a U-shaped dinette is worth buying a simple bed topper.

Another interesting point is its overall weight. The Airstream Nest weight (4,000 pounds)is heavier than the Bambi 16-foot version (3,500), but lighter than the 22-foot version (5,000 pounds). The advantage with the Nest is having the same feature of the 22-foot Bambi in the 16-foot Nest.

• Average Dry Weight: 3,050 pounds
• Average GVWR: 4,250 pounds
• Average NCC: 925 pounds
• Average HW: 485 pounds
• Starting Price: $49,900

The name “Bambi” has a diverse history with Airstream. In 1961, the company launched a small single-axle travel trailer named Bambi in response to consumers’ desire for smaller travel trailers. After that model fazed out of production, the name continued as a nickname for any small, single-axle Airstream.

A popular model from 2009-2019 was the Airstream Sport. They brought the Bambi back a few years ago in its 16-foot incarnation. Since the new Bambi and Caravel were so similar to the Sport, in 2019, Airstream decided to stop production of the Sport, and expand the Bambi increasing the line to include lengths up to 22 feet.

The Airstream Bambi comes in a 16 rear bed, 19 rear corner bed, or 20 and 22 front bed configuration. It’s the first model that has the traditional Airstream shape. The bright cabinetry and overall interior make it look spacious. The overall features are more standard-issue than it’s sister coach but meet the high bar of Airstream quality.

• Average Dry Weight: 3,900 pounds
• Average GVWR: 4,650 pounds
• Average HW: 528 pounds
• Starting Price: $62,200

Airstream founder, Wally Byam, had two recreational loves. RVs and boats. That’s why he named the Caravel after a sailing ship. He wanted his customers to feel like they were experiencing the same features of a yacht. This model has stayed in production since 1956.

When you compare the Caravel to the Bambi, you’ll notice upgraded amenities that tip the weight scale a little bit. The floorplans and lengths are the same. Differences include a panoramic rear window, electric hitch jack, and other components of improved luxury.

Unlike the Bambi, you’ll find side and rear awnings for the windows. The Caravel also has a front corner rock guard and a windshield protection shield to maintain shell integrity. This RV also has a classier interior look with name brand components and other high-end touches.

Flying Cloud

• Average Dry Weight: 5,639 pounds
• Average GVWR: 7,400 pounds
• Average NCC: 1,761 pounds
• Average HW: 781 pounds
• Floorplans: 14
• Starting Price: $78,900

Airstream advertised the Flying Cloud as the RV that “flys behind your car” in the 1950s. Airstream played on their aircraft-quality aluminum shells. Decades later, the Flying Cloud returned for today’s RVers to become the most versatile and family-friendly travel trailer in their lineup.

The Flying Cloud now has 14 different floorplans that come in:

• Rear queen bed
• Front queen bed
• Rear corner queen bed
• Rear double twins beds
• Front double twins beds
• Rear lower full size and upper twin size bunk bed

The sofas and dinettes fold-down/out for additional sleeping space allowing large families to sleep up to eight people. Even though Airstreams don’t have slideouts, these travel trailers make great use of space to give everyone their own personal space.

Some of the unique features include a rear hatch on 25 and 27 front bed floorplan to store long items while you’re traveling. There are plenty of USB charging ports and the latest in entertainment technology to keep everyone happy on rainy days. You’ll have all the storage you need for personal items and food to keep your brood’s bellies full.

International

• Floorplans: 12
• Starting Price: $91,900

In 1958, Wally Byam and his team introduced the International as the first self-contained travel trailer that was battery powered. It was one of the first RVs that had the capability to boondock with electricity.

Today’s International is the luxury version of the Flying Cloud. It has the same length options (23-30 feet) but doesn’t have the bunk bed or 30-foot rear bed options. Many of the luxury options you find on the Caravel come on the International.

The forest or seashore inspired natural interior brings the outdoors in. You can enhance your experience by allowing the breeze to flow through the coach through all the windows. As you enjoy your new book, you can let the smells and sounds of nature relax you.

When the temperature isn’t ideal, both the air conditioner and heater give you that perfect temperature. The low profile A/C doesn’t have an interior section that sticks out from the ceiling, so you have the best aesthetic look and still receive efficient performance.

Globetrotter

• Average Dry Weight: 6,144 pounds
• Average GVWR: 7,550 pounds
• Average NCC: 1,407 pounds
• Average HW: 818 pounds
• Floorplans: 8
• Starting Price: $96,400

The Globetrotter is unique in its own right due to its adventurous origins. To further advertise his product, and go on a grand adventure Airstream hit Europe by storm. Wally Byam and his friend Cornelius Vanderbilt took a 22-foot model in the 1950s and set out for a worldwide adventure starting in Europe to show how durable his trailer was.

To memorialize that great trek, today’s Globetrotter comes with European-inspired interiors with lengths between 23-30 feet in length. Floorplans feature front or rear bed features. You can choose between the queen or the double twin beds.

The dark wood walls are offset by the bright cabinetry and flooring. Stainless steel appliances and trim give the coach a finished look of high-class appeal. This land yacht travel trailer look has the sophistication that fits the best French districts or contemporary styling of the best crafted Scandinavian decor.

• Average Dry Weight: 8,025 pounds
• Average GVWR: 10,000 pounds
• Average NCC: 1,976 pounds
• Average HW: 1,031 pounds
• Starting Price: $157,400

The Classic is an amalgamation of many of Airstream’s previous models. They took the best ideas, the most iconic look, and rolled it into this 30 to 33-foot travel trailer. You’ll see hints of the Argosy, Safari, and Land Yacht. Today’s Classic gets most of its DNA from the 1980s Excella.

The 30-foot version comes in either a rear queen or double twin. The 33-foot has a front queen or double twin. Despite its size, it only sleeps up to five people. The reason for this is its overall purpose. The Classic is primarily designed for full-timers that want that combination of functionality with iconic style.

It features components like a full dry bathroom that takes up the rear section of the coach. A real desk space for those that work from home. Residential size appliances that allow a couple to live comfortable for weeks without restocking. It now comes with a wifi package and mobile device app to control and stay connected to your coach while you’re away.

2023 Airstream Models Explained:

Which airstream model travel trailer is best in 2023.

If there is one thing that Airstream does consistently, its updating their campers in line with evolving customer expectations. In 2023, you can expect plenty of clever and functional improvements on all Airstream travel trailer lineups. Here are the customer-centric upgrades you can expect in the new silver bullets.

Updates Across the Airstream Travel Trailer Lineup for 2023

Depending on your trailer’s size, you can expect 2 solar panels (200 watts) or 3 panels (300 watts)

• Redesigned Media Console – To make the most of the available space, the upcoming Airstream won’t have a Blu-Ray/DVD player. Instead, they will have a HDMI port, 110v outlet, and USB ports. These new features give you more flexibility when you want to stream, plug in a gadget, or power up.

Current List of Airstream Models – RV Travel Trailers

Airstream nest travel trailers.

The Airstream Nest model is the result of Airstream’s 2016 purchase od Nest Caravans in Oregon. The Airstream Nest model has a significantly different look than the classic aluminum shell Airstream models. The Airstream Nest features a molded fiberglass shell.

The Airstream Nest has a listed length of 16′ 7″ making it slightly longer than the 16-foot Airstream Sport model. The Airstream Nest also has a base weight of 3,400 lbs, making it an attractive lightweight travel trailer.

This Airstream model sleeps 2 people on an almost queen-sized bed and lists for $45,900.

This model has now been discontinued by Airstream

Airstream Basecamp Travel Trailers

The Airstream Basecamp travel trailer model is another new Airstream model that was first introduced in 2007, but poor sales led Airstream to discontinuing this travel trailer model until 2017 when then second-edition Airstream Basecamp was launched.

The Airstream Basecamp is one of the lightest Airstream travel trailer models, weighing in at 2,585 pounds in its base configurations. That lightweight design makes the Airstream Basecamp light enough where even some cross-over vehicles can tow it safely

Check out the Airstream Basecamp at Airstream.com

Airstream Bambi Travel Trailers

The Bambi has been the nickname for the smaller Airstream models for years, but Airstream has now decided to develop an official Bambi travel trailer line. The Bambi model is another light weight single-axle travel trailer model with floor plans ranging from 16-feet to 22-feet in length.

The 16-foot Airstream Bambi trailer has a trailer weight of just 3000 lbs with propane and batteries, and a gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs, making it another lightweight Airstream travel trailer under 4,000 pounds.

The 22-foot Airstream Bambi floor plan weighs in a little heavier with a maximum gross trailer weight (GVWR) of 5000 lbs.

Airstream Caravel Travel Trailers

The Airstream Caravel models fills out Airstream’s smaller travel trailer selections. The Caravel model offers four floor plans in lengths from 16 to 22 feet on a single-axle trailer. The Caravel stands as an upgrade from the Bambi models, adding the front aluminum rock guards and a rear polished bumper for added storage.

Airstream also has upgraded the manual hitch jack on the Bambi to a powered hitch jack on the Caravel Airstream models, along with upgraded stability jacks.

The Caravel interior also features upgraded upholstery and improved fixtures such as replacing the plastic toilet in the Bambi models with a porcelain toilet in the Caravel.

Airstream Flying Cloud Travel Trailers

The Airstream Flying Cloud is the first full series Airstream model with trailer lengths ranging from 23 to 30 feet in length. The Airstream Flying Cloud also comes in several sleeping configurations with either two twin beds or a single queen-sized bed.

The Airstream Flying Cloud was my first introduction to Airstream ownership and I’ve been living in my Airstream full-time .

Because of the multiple floor plans and sizes, the Airstream Flying Cloud has been one of Airstream’s most popular travel trailer models.

Airstream International Serenity Travel Trailers

The next Airstream model above the Flying Cloud is the Airstream International Serenity. The International Serenity Airstream model is the first of what I would consider the “higher-end” Airstream models (with the Globetrotter and Classic).

The International Serenity model offers 12 different floor plans in trailer lengths from 23 to 30 feet. Seven of the floor plans offer one queen-size bed while the other five floor plans feature two twin beds.

The Airstream International Serenity has an upgraded interior with panoramic windows as well as three different interior decor options.

Airstream Globetrotter Travel Trailers

The Airstream Globetrotter models also offer trailer lengths from 23 to 30 feet, but with just 8 different floor plans (compared to the International Serenity’s 12 floor plans). Like most other Airstream models, the Globetrotter offers either a queen-sized bed or two twin bed sleeping options.

\The Globetrotter also features Corian countertops and four different decor and interior designs include a dark walnut or natural elm cabinetry style.

The top of the line Airstream model continues to be the Airstream Classic. Designed for extended trips or full-time Airstream living, the Airstream Classic comes in only two lengths, as a 30-foot and 33-foot trailer.

The 30-foot Airstream Classic features a top-of-the-line kitchen with Corianders counter tops, Kohler faucet and Baraldi refrigerator and oven.

The living area of the Airstream Classic models offer six different interior decors ranging from their Comfort White with Earl Grey Ultraleather to a Cognac Maple with Chestnut Ultraleather option.

Airstream continues to build upon an American classic design. The full line of Airstream models offer a configuration to fit almost any Airstream-lover’s life with the options ranging from a small 16-foot Nest and Basecamp to the luxurious 33-foot Airstream Classic.

Ever wonder why are Airstreams so expensive? We break it down and include an inside look at the Airstream production facility in Ohio.

Travel Trailer Concept

“Exploring the possibilities for a new generation of outdoor adventurers.”

Our recently teamed up with the legendary American caravan company Airstream. The result of this collaboration is the Airstream Studio F. A. Porsche Concept Travel Trailer , an ultralight, garage-ready travel trailer concept for the ever-changing world of campervan adventures. T he concept builds on Airstream’s iconic design cues while reinventing caravan owner’s experience .

Among the many innovations incorporated into the design , the concept addresses the changing RV market by using a pop-up roof to provide additional interior headroom and a lowered chassis , allowing city dwellers to fit a trailer in most standard residential garages.  Through 3D renderings, 1:3 scale models and extensive computer-aided wind tunnel testing , the project brought to life the conceptual evolution of Airstream’s signature riveted aluminum exterior.

Following Airstream’s heritage, the concept design innovates the aerodynamics of this travel trailer. The caravan’s shell shape was refined through advanced computer-assisted aerodynamic testing using scale models of the concept. A new rear shape and flush underside shed air while in motion.

The concept’s interior design maximizes the use of space to enhances the owner experience. Windows and skylights create a spacious interior feel and connect people with the beauty of their surroundings.

The trailers rear hatch features a new two-piece design with a hinge-up hatch and a drop-down tailgate. This design element extends the interior living space, connecting travelers with the beauty around them and allowing for the easy loading of adventure gear. An awning can be attached to the hatch to create a shady place to relax and plan next adventures.

Our design prioritized flexibility in the concept’s interior design. An innovative rear seating area transforms from dining to working to relaxing space. The versatile seating area quickly converts from a dinette to a large 82” x 61” sleeping area. Reclining seat options allow owners to enjoy the views through the open hatch.

Whether the design studio concept will become reality remains to be seen.  Whether as a full-blown new model, inspiration for another travel trailer, or the source of innovations in other products, the Airstream Studio F. A. Porsche Concept Travel Trailer is now a part of the Airstream family.

New York Pediatrician, 58, Dies After Being ‘Thrown’ from Open Door of Moving Airstream Trailer

According to witnesses, the trailer swung open with the victim’s “arm hanging on the door” before the tragic accident

A specialist in child health has tragically died after falling out of a moving trailer.

The incident occurred on Saturday, April 6 shortly after 3:00 p.m. as Robert P. Woroniecka, 59, drove a pick-up truck pulling a 2024 Airstream trailer, with his wife Dr. Monika I. Woroniecka, 58, and family inside, New York State Police said in a press release .

The group had been traveling from their hometown of Stony Brook, New York.

According to witnesses, during the last 20 minutes of the journey, the passenger door of the trailer swung open with Woroniecka's “arm hanging on the door” due to the wind, “causing her to be thrown from the Airstream.”

Woroniecka then “struck her head on the shoulder of the roadway” after being ejected from the vehicle, per the release. She was transported to Samaritan Medical Center’s Emergency Room where she died from her injuries.

Monika Woroniecka/Facebook

Police responded at around 3:04 p.m. to State Route 12E in the town of Brownville, NY, where the incident took place.

The profile adds that she was originally from Poland.

“Dr. Woroniecka’s native language is Polish, draws Polish-speaking families from far distances,” Dr. Woroniecka’s profile says. “[She] likes to travel, hike, exercise, and spend time with family and friends.”

Where You Can Stay In An Airstream RV (And How It All Started)

Posted: November 10, 2023 | Last updated: November 10, 2023

1929: the first Airstream prototype

1931: Airstream officially founded

A year later, Byam published a DIY guide to building a trailer, which sold like hotcakes. Requests for him to construct RVs came flooding in and he opened a small factory in Culver City, California. The Airstream we know today was born out of this operation in 1931 when there were just 50 trailer manufacturers around. In the following five years, this exploded to 400 businesses building trailers to meet the demand, but when the Great Depression and the Second World War hit, the vast majority closed down. Airstream is the only one that remains today.

How Airstream took over the world's campsites

Airstream hasn't been dubbed 'the Rolls-Royce of trailers' for nothing. First choice for rich glampers and A-list movie stars alike, the venerable Ohio-based firm makes some of the world's coolest and most luxurious RVs. Since its inception in the 1930s, there have been myriad styles of Airstream and today, you can rent some of the coolest designs overnight for a retro experience with a touch of modern luxury. Here, we explore the story behind the brand, the best vintage models to hire or buy and the Airstreams you can sleep in today.

1932: the Airstream Torpedo

The fledgling firm completed its first factory-produced model, the Torpedo, in 1932, and launched two larger models soon after, the Silver Cloud (pictured) and the Airlite. A couple of years later, Wally Byam adopted the name Airstream, a perfect moniker for the company's teardrop-shaped trailers that cruised down the road "like a stream of air".

1934: the competition

During the 1930s, William Hawley Bowlus, an engineer who worked on the famous Spirit of St Louis airplane, created the Road Chief – an aerodynamic Streamline Moderne-style trailer in gleaming aluminum.

1936: the first aluminum Airstream

Bowlus' aircraft-inspired RVs failed to sell so in 1936 Byam stepped in and bought up Bowlus' inventory. Byam reconfigured the Road Chief, creating the iconic Airstream Clipper, and put his marketing and advertising skills to good use. Sales of the Clipper went through the roof, despite the trailer's hefty $1,200 price tag – that's equivalent to around $25,000 today. The interior of the 1936 model was designed to be cozy and comfortable, with leather seating, solid wood cabinets and a cocoon-like ceiling.

The 1940s: wartime hiatus

1948: refined design

Once the war had ended, Byam re-established Airstream. Applying the airplane design skills he learned during the war, Byam created the Curtis Wright Clipper in 1948. The upgraded Clipper was an overnight success, selling in the thousands. In 1950, Byam created the Flying Cloud, which is still produced today.

1958: the world's first self-contained trailer

1962: a proud legacy

Byam died in 1962, leaving behind his super-successful trailer company that had become known the world over. Art Costello, one of Byam's right-hand men took over the reins. As America's most luxurious trailers, Airstreams featured the latest modern conveniences, from air conditioning to refrigerators, but they underwent a major redesign in 1969 to give them the smooth, bullet-like edges we know today. That same year, the company was chosen to design and build a mobile quarantine pod for the returning Apollo 11 astronauts, such was its renown.

The 1970s: an established American icon

The hippie counter-culture of the late 1960s and early 1970s popularized RV-ing and house-trucking, and from this point, Airstream began to attract a younger, cooler clientele who became known for customizing their vehicles. By the late 1980s, the Airstream trailer had become an American icon, making Money magazine's "99 things that, yes, Americans make best" list in 1987. 

1994: an adventure stalwart

2022: modern machines

At the other end of the spectrum, the company's Globetrotter model comes as a 30-foot (9m) trailer with an extensive kitchen, lounge seat dining area, USB outlets, climate control and rear-view cameras. For an even bigger trailer, the Classic comes in 33 feet (10m) and comfortably sleeps up to five people. 

2022: designs for the future

In February 2022, the company announced the research and development of their brand new concept: the eStream, a fully electric and innovative new RV model that's designed to be better for the environment, with cutting-edge technology using a battery-powered drivetrain. It will have a rear-bed and a convertible dining area and the total floor plan is set to be 22 feet long (6.7m). 

Here's how to avoid these common RV mistakes

The Airstreams you can hire for your vacation

The Sawmill, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK

If you go down to the woods of the wonderfully remote and rural Glen Dye Estate , you might be surprised to find this shimmering Airstream in a private clearing in the forest. With a rustic wood-paneled interior, it has a super king-size bed and a record player and the nearby hut offers a space to lounge around and cook meals when the weather's not on your side. There's even an outdoor, wood-fired bathtub for toasty evening soaks.

Silver Airstream Rental, West Sussex, England, UK

Bold 1950s interiors make the Silver Airstream Rental trailers a beautiful escape from the everyday. Situated in a lovely campsite near Chichester in West Sussex, there are three to choose from, sleeping up to four people, each with their own unique designs inside and all the mod-cons you could need.

Brook Meadow, Leicestershire, England, UK

Joining the UK's Airstream glamping scene in 2022 was this supremely cozy, compact Silverbird Airstream in Leicestershire. Not only is it a cute little bolthole for a romantic weekend away, but it's situated on the lovely Brook Meadow campsite , which has been awarded various hospitality accolades over the years.

Aurora, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK

Another recent opening, this perfectly placed Airstream trailer  overlooks Fiscavig Bay on the Isle of Skye. Equipped with a record player for long afternoons on the decking, it's a wildlife lover's dream. From the nearby beach you could spot minke whales while the comfy chairs on a private deck are great for sipping Scottish whisky and looking out for white-tailed eagles.

The Vintages Trailer Resort, Oregon, USA

The Vintages is retro camping heaven, with 10 mid-century trailers and five contemporary ones gracing its parking spots. Come here to be transported back to the 1950s, take a lounger by the pool, hire a bike to cycle around local vineyards or simply soak and relax in the luxurious bathtub in the trailer. Some have private decking, while all come with soft white robes to spend your days in. This is Americana at its finest. 

These are America's best RV trips for the summer

La Vue, Kent, England, UK

La Vue is beautifully furnished, with a pine double bed, farmhouse-style kitchenette and a pretty back deck, but the best part about this Airstream in Kent is the view. Sitting on the cliffs near Folkestone, it has spectacular ocean views and on a clear day you can see all the way to France. Bring your supplies, set up the barbecue and soak up those vistas. 

Salar de Uyuni Airstream, Bolivia

For a serious adventure, go all out for your Airstream experience and book a two-night tour in your own shiny trailer with Sunvil in Bolivia. For $1,430 you'll get a 4x4 vehicle and Airstream trailer, your own private guide and cook and they'll park you up on the Bolivian salt flats of the Salar de Uyuni, where evenings can be spent stargazing. 

Yonder Escalante, Utah, USA

A slice of Americana located on the All American Road – Scenic Byway 12 – Yonder Escalante has 10 vintage Airstreams for snoozing in. You won't want to sleep in too late, though, as there's lots to do around here. Hike through the slot canyons of Upper Calf Creek, go horseback riding in alpine forests or try canoeing at Wilde Hollow Reservoir within the Escalante Petrified Forest. 

Malibu Dream, California, USA

This Airstream is located on a private bluff in Malibu, California with brilliant views out to the ocean. The original Malibu Dream was sadly destroyed during the Woolsey wildfires in 2018, but this new trailer has been reconfigured as a large luxury studio with a high-end kitchenette, bathroom and queen-sized bed and it's furnished with cozy wool rugs, cushions and blankets for chilling on the deck.

Autocamp, California, USA

Surprisingly well-equipped, the swish interiors of the Airstreams at Autocamp rock a minimal mid-20th-century feel. With an emphasis on luxury, the trailers feature queen-sized beds, walk-in showers and guests receive complimentary Ursa Major beauty products.
