Airstream is an American brand of caravan ("travel trailer" in American English) easily recognised by the distinctive shape of its rounded and polished aluminum coachwork. This body shape dates back to the 1930s and is based on the Bowlus Road Chief, an earlier all-aluminum travel trailer designed and built by Hawley Bowlus, the same designer and engineer who also oversaw the construction of the Spirit of St. Louis.
There’s always been a close connection between Airstream and the ocean, and that connection was born from the very beginnings of the company. Wally Byam was an avid camper and hiker, and that’s part of what led him to build the first Airstream trailer – but his spirit of exploration and his self-sufficiency in the wilds were both conceived from his love of the ocean.
His experiences on the ocean inspired and influenced Airstream in a lot of ways, the space limitations on an ocean-faring vessel require efficiency and pose unique challenges to comfort, and Wally’s maritime adventures gave him insight as to how comfort and utility can be maximised in small spaces.
From top to bottom, the Land Yacht is designed with the ocean in mind, and is inspired by the world’s finest watercraft. Everything from the galley to the bedroom, from the upholstery to the woodwork has a sleek, sophisticated look that evokes quality, luxury, and the open sea. The spirit of Wally and of the Caravan are part of what makes the Land Yacht special.
This fantastic 1974 Landyacht was recently converted by a business called The Mobile Room to create a stimulating and inspiring environment in which to facilitate work away events, landmark family occasions, or just a fun summer hangout space. The interior has been cleverly and stylishly fitted out to a high standard to create a large room to serve this purpose, complete with a generator for power, WIFI, presentation monitor, a coffee machine and a fridge.
The super cool Airstream can host between 12 – 15 people in comfort and luxury, and can be towed in just the same way as any other trailer or caravan. All in all a fabulous stylish space with endless possibilities, the perfect accessory for Goodwood?
This caravan will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees in Frome, Somerset, on Saturday 11th March 2023. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
