A Vintage Icon, Reimagined for Modern Travel

A true classic, this 1980 Airstream International 31' Travel Trailer offers vintage style wrapped in a complete modern renovation. Beautifully restored from the frame up in 2021, this unit blends the unmistakable charm of Airstream’s golden era with high-quality finishes, new systems, and carefully curated details. Whether you're planning weekend getaways or dreaming of full-time travel, this Airstream delivers both form and function—ready for the road or to serve as a stylish guest suite or seasonal retreat.

Thoughtfully Restored, Inside and Out
The current owners undertook a full gut renovation, preserving the original floor plan while upgrading every major system: plumbing, electrical, insulation, subfloor, cabinetry, and appliances. The layout features a center bathroom and rear twin bed configuration, plus a large front U-shaped dinette that converts to a queen-sized bed, making this trailer ideal for families, couples, or solo adventurers wanting space and comfort.

All interior finishes are fresh and modern, with a nod to mid-century design: custom-built maple shaker cabinetry, retro-inspired Wilsonart boomerang countertops, and Ultraleather upholstery in Adobe colorway. Durable, easy-care vinyl plank flooring in herringbone pattern runs throughout, creating a warm, cohesive look.

Exterior: Shining Example of Vintage Beauty
The exterior is in excellent vintage condition. Polished to a mirror shine in 2021 and refreshed in 2025, the original aluminum skin gleams with pride. Minor dings are present but do not distract from the trailer’s overall beauty. Former exterior system openings were professionally patched using buck-riveted aluminum panels. Awnings on three sides (patio, rear, and street side) provide ample shade and show well, with only modest wear to the patio fabric.

Modern Systems for Easy Travel
This Airstream is fully equipped for both campground life and off-grid flexibility:

• Furrion 3-burner propane stove with oven and glass cover

• Dometic Americana II 6 cu. ft. dual-fuel refrigerator

• Suburban 30,000 BTU propane furnace (ducted)
