inspiring adventure for Nearly 80 years
In 1931 airstream began with one man’s dream to create lightweight travel trailers
that slipped cleanly through the wind. and with it was born another dream, one of
new freedoms, new places, new experiences, and new friendships. It was a dream so
powerful and so enduring that it did more than create a new way to travel; it created a
new way of life shared by thousands upon thousands of families.
The airstream Interstate 3500 continues the tradition of extraordinary design and hand-
crafted quality that has made airstream world famous. It combines the maneuverability
and driving ease of a luxury car with the comfort and built-in conveniences airstream is
known for, all wrapped up in a fuel-efficient package. We think you’ll find it’s the perfect
way to discover the adventure that awaits you around the next bend!

few things in life have proven to be as durable as an airstream. In fact,
more than 65% of all airstreams ever built (dating back to 1931) are still
in service. This remarkable longevity has resulted in airstream’s equally
impressive resale value.
airstream has been in the class “B” motorhome business since 1988 and has
produced motorhomes since 1974. Nasa has even chosen to use airstream
motorhomes to transport astronauts to the launchpad. The airstream tradition
continues with the airstream Interstate 3500. The rigid unibody construction
