Airstream 2.8T
Pictured: Airstream 2.8T

This page gathers Airstream motorhomes outside the named ranges, carrying the 2.8T type designation and the Motorhome 30. Airstream, founded in 1931 by Wally Byam and still based in Jackson Center, Ohio, is best known for its aluminium travel trailers but also built self-propelled motorhomes for decades on American truck chassis with large-capacity eight-cylinder petrol engines.

The register lists here 3 versions with eight cylinders throughout and 7,440 cc displacement, unladen weights from 6,600 to 6,700 kg, gross weights from 7,484 to 7,490 kg, lengths from 9,700 to 10,750 mm and widths from 2,350 to 2,530 mm.

These large motorhomes represent the classic American motorhome era of the 1970s and 1980s, when V8 big-block engines of around 7.4 litres in American truck-maker chassis powered comfortable long-distance motorhomes such as those Airstream offered alongside its well-known trailers, at a time when the brand widened its range from towed caravans to fully self-contained, drivable homes on wheels.

On these vehicles, the condition of the eight-cylinder petrol engine and ignition, rust on the chassis and the mounts of the aluminium body, moisture damage in the living area, and the operation of the electrics, gas system and brakes all count; chassis and engine parts run through American classic-vehicle and motorhome specialists.
