Embrace the quirks, unleash your inner designer, and get ready to turn heads wherever you go.

Remembering Airstream’s fanciest trailer: the Land Yacht

The nautically-themed trailer is out of production, but its memory lives on in other Airstream models

Airstream trailers have been nicknamed a lot of things: the Silver Bullet, a Toaster-on-Wheels, and even the Silver Twinkie. But the now iconic American aluminum trailer—especially its largest models—has also been known as a “land yacht,” thanks to its high-end design reminiscent of the largest ships on the sea.

Airstream lived up to this title in 2014 when it debuted what it called “the most luxurious Airstream ever conceived.” The special edition model—the Land Yacht 28 —boasted three rooms and was designed with the help of Mauro Micheli, head designer at yacht design firm Officina Italiana Design , with cabinetry from the Italian firm Tecnoform.

All of that impressive pedigree meant one thing for the Land Yacht: It was fancy. Designed to resemble a luxury watercraft, the 28-foot trailer slept six and came with boat-deck plank flooring, LED lighting, and Corian countertops. The master bedroom boasted a pillow top queen mattress, a 30-inch flatscreen, and plenty of under-the-bed storage.

The technology and decor was also first class. A powered pedestal table moved the dining room table out of the way to free up space, and a powered outdoor awning made shade accessible. The interior came in two color options, dark wood and cream or a lighter wood with dark grey seating fabric.

The Land Yacht started at $146,362 and because it was a special edition model, it had limited production.

“It doesn’t come down to how many Special Edition units we sell, it’s about creating truly unique models that allow our team, and those we partner with a creative outlet to try new ideas,” said Bryan Melton, General Manager of travel trailers at Airstream.

“When you remove certain constraints, you allow engineers and designers to maximize their creativity. The results are truly special, like the Land Yacht, which continue to make strong statements within Airstream’s prolific history.”

Not long after the debut of the Land Yacht, Airstream took many of that model’s favorite qualities and added them to the remodeled Classic trailer and their new line of Class-B luxury touring coaches . Today, the Land Yacht is still on the product page of Airstream’s website , but according to a reputable Airstream dealer in Colorado, the only Land Yachts still left for sale are in Canada.

For many Airstream fanatics, the Land Yacht will go down as one of the fanciest—and best designed—trailers in the company’s history. Take a 360-degree tour, over here .

Description: 1960-Airstream TradeWind Land Yacht — Single Axle — Very Good Condition $12,997 or best offer

The 1960 TradeWind single axle Airstreams are one of the most sought after and collectible of all Airstream trailers. This Airstream 24 footer was purchased to be converted into a vending trailer but it was decided that it would be a shame to convert such a good, original, exceptionally well cared for, Airstream. It is one of the most sought after Airstreams because of its useful size, easy towing and light weight (3130 lbs.). These campers retain their value better than any other. Use it for years, maintain it and sell for a good profit. Great family project!

Pricing a Vintage Airstream

Unlocking the mystery of vintage Airstream values

As the founder of Airstream Hunter, I have the fun job of locating and acquiring vintage Airstream trailers all over the United States for buyers around the world.

I review hundreds of Airstreams for sale every month all over the country and I see asking prices from under $1,000 to $100,000 or more.

What creates such a huge price range in these aluminum treasures?

If you are in the market to buy or sell a vintage Airstream, the market can be very confusing. Here are 11 factors (and one Trade Secret) to consider when valuing a vintage Airstream for sale or making an offer to purchase.

1. Year, Model and Size

3. structural integrity..

Where the trailer is located affects the market value. The same vintage Airstream in Vermont will not bring the money that it will in California. Remote locations can also mean higher shipping cost which factor into the total cost of the vessel.

I have gone to purchase trailers and had to abandon the transaction because they were so buried in the sellers property it would cost thousands of dollars to extract them. location and ease of retrieval matters in pricing., 10. cleanliness.

A sparkling clean trailer inside and out brings more money than a dirty one. A trailer that looks like the one pictured above? You get the idea. I have added thousands of dollars to a trailers value simply from removing a dumpster load of garbage and washing off 30 years of dirt and dust from the vessel.

If you are selling, take the time to clean things up or the buyer is going to take that off of the price they pay., 11. buyer and seller motivation.
