Inside the Airstream Plant

…And That’s How Trailers are Made, Timmy

While Santa and his crew are hard at work way up north, Airstream works just as hard at their own toy workshop. Take an inside look at their factory in this here video. The riveting tour starts with, well, riveting. Namely, mating the iconic shell and ends with a gorgeous aluminum recreational vehicle heading out the door on its way to a customer. You’ll see how Airstream joins the shell with the chassis and how they install electrical, plumbing, and gas lines.
You’ll see how they test for leaks in the water check bays, and how the woodshop and sewing department hand-craft each cabinet, closet, and curtain.

It’s a labor of love – and other than the addition of modern tools and precision equipment, it’s a process that hasn’t changed much over the course of the last 90 years. From station to station, the entire production line is focused on craftsmanship and quality as we build the world’s most recognizable travel trailers. Check out the latest Airstream products here.
