Hitch a Ride on a Timeless Classic

Airstream’s are a weakness for me. They represent the allure of freedom of the road, in a timeless design that has withstood the whims of fashion. As a dedicated flyfisherman I can’t imagine a more fashionable way to visit my favorite streams than in a sleek, gleaming Airstream.

Between now and December 11th, Orvis is offering in an online public auction a one of a kind 1954 Airstream, completely refurbished in a style reminiscent of the great Adirondacks camps, and ready to roll for the lucky winner bidder. Behind the shell is a modern trailer, featuring new brakes, axles, suspension, wheels, tires and couplers.  Inside, the cabin is a warm blending of leather, wood and copper.

It would be easy to imagine yourself in a cabin along the Bitteroot….. but the great thing is you can hook it up the next morning and take off for Madison.

Make your winning bid here.

Airstream – Camping in Style

70+ years ago Wally Bynam had a dream to build a camper trailer for an increasingly mobile society. Not just any camper, his vision was of a traveler that was aesthetically pleasing, functional, and long serving. Made of aluminum with an art deco heritage that has withstood time, the Airstream trailer has now reached icon status. And as for functionality, an amazing 65% of the trailers ever built are still in some form of use.

Today, Airstream owners range from the retired to the boomer….. from the adventurous to the celebrity…… from the engineer who appreciates the workmanship to the artist who sees the beauty in the simple lines.

 

One of the selling points of an Airstream is the unending ways to customize the trailer.
