Airstream – other models: the collective page of American travel trailers from Safari, Overlander and Bambi to Land Yacht and Globetrotter, 850 to 2,960 kg kerb weight, up to 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight
This page gathers Airstream travel trailers outside the named ranges, from early post-war models to current versions. Airstream was founded in 1931 in California by Wally Byam and still builds its riveted aluminium monocoque trailers with their streamlined silhouette in Jackson Center, Ohio. The model names include classic ranges such as Safari, Overlander, Bambi, Excella, Flying Cloud, Land Yacht, Globetrotter and Argosy, alongside four-digit numbers such as 684 or 534 from older model years.

The register lists here 71 versions with kerb weights from 850 to 2,960 kg and gross vehicle weights from 1,122 to 3,500 kg, at widths from 2,150 to 2,550 mm; length is only recorded for part of the models and ranges from 5,430 to 8,800 mm.
Airstream is regarded as the best-known American caravan brand and is traded internationally as a collector's vehicle, with its own scene for restoration and conversion. Early pre-1970 model years and trailers with original interior fittings are especially sought after.
Used, the condition of the aluminium skin decides most of the value: dents, corrosion at the rivets and leaking window and roof seals are the most common faults, along with damp in the interior fit-out, the state of the axle and brakes, and the function of the gas system and wiring. On imported examples, also check the condition of any conversion for European type approval; parts and restoration service are offered by specialist Airstream workshops.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
