A fabulous opportunity to own an iconic and rare 1959 18ft Airstream Traveler, completely renovated to a very high standard to include modern amenities.
Built in California in 1959 (VIN: 18D-0169), it was imported into a dealership in Bristol around 7 years ago from whom we purchased it as an empty aluminium shell. A lot of love then went into designing and creating the ultimate glamping experience, ideal for a family of up to 2 adults and 2 children.
Fully serviced by Peak Caravan Services, Staffordshire in June 2021.
The airstream first underwent a full UK road conversion, including
- Full body-off chassis restoration
- New window rubbers
- New floor
- Axle
- Brakes
- Wheels plus brand-new tyres
- UK hitch
The plumbing and electrics within the airstream have been designed to run either on or off grid to allow maximum comfort with or without access to a hook up.
Electricity - either a 240 volt hook up or 12 volt leisure battery (2 brand new leisure batteries)
Dual energy water heater - either electric or gas
The layout was carefully planned to maximise space. Internal features include:
- L-shaped sofa that converts into a double bed, storage underneath
- Bunk beds with storage underneath. The upper bunk lifts and locks in place to create a daytime sofa
- All mattress cushions made with extra comfy foam and covered with soft wipe clean velvet
- Kitchen with combi oven and grill, hob, sink with bin in cupboard underneath and dual energy (gas and electric) fridge (with ice box)
- Overhead storage in kitchen and tall cupboard
- Wet room with shower, basin, storage and Thetford cassette style WC.
