We’ve been restoring vintage Airstreams for close to 10 years, now. The ones that get the most attention are the big dual-axles from the ‘40s and ‘50s. When you see a really nice one, we can pretty much guarantee that a lot of 21^st technology has gone into making that ‘original’ 70-year-old trailer as nice as it looks. All the spit-shinin’ in the world can’t make crappy old technology work like modern technology.

That brings us to our 2018 Flying Cloud. It’s important to point out right from the get-go that this thing is bone-stock. Even without the flashy little details that we use to spice up our custom builds, this is a very, very nice trailer. This is a trailer you could very comfortably call home. Airstream has stayed on top of the needs of the modern traveler, and it shows.

At 27 feet, this Flying Cloud falls in the middle of the range. It’s a double-axle model and it sleeps 6. Starting from the front of the trailer you’ll find a master bedroom, bathroom (toilet, sink, storage), a stand-up/sit-down shower, large closet, galley, and lounge/secondary bedroom.

Master bedroom

At the front of the trailer, you’ll find a full master featuring a standard queen-size bed with comfy memory foam mattress. Flanking the bed on both sides are nightstands complete with cabinets and dual 110-volt outlets. Each side of the bed also features a pop-out screened window with an emergency quick-release ejector latch.

Six dimmable overhead LEDs let you set the mood and directional HVAC vents keep the temps right without dumping hot or cold in your face when you’re trying to sleep. At the foot of the bed, a combo coax cable/HDMI port feeds a 21-inch Samsung flatscreen. Finally, a wall-mounted smoke alarm keeps things safe after hours.

Next, we come to the galley. It features a 3-burner Furrion gas cooktop and oven. Above the cooktop you’ll find a Baraldi cooking vent. The large, single sink features a Delta faucet. There’s also a built-in microwave and a large refrigerator freezer. The galley features tons of drawer and cabinet space, complete with a pull-out pantry.
