Amazing Growth and Lifestyle
Being involved with so many aspects of trailering, I recently came across an interview with the President of Winnebago (parent company of Airstream). The interview was fascinating. Fifteen minutes of nothing but positive input and recognition for a pioneering company and exciting niche.

Forty Seven Year Old Holding Tank!
Just the thought of using a run-down worn out grey and black combo sewage tank makes me shiver. More than shiver, these dinosaurs have a little if any capacity to protect trailer occupants and stay sanitized. Imagine the lack of efficiency of all the fittings, decomposed glue, and worn out plastic. Therefore, there is no efficiency with any connections. For all to see, this is a health hazard and a must to rehab the rotted molding flooring as well as the frame which the tank sits on and probably leaks continuously.

Missing, Broken, & Leaky Windows.
From day one, the word "window" has been a problem for millions of road travelers that need a tight seal with no leaks., and no sweating. If there is one single flaw regarding Airstream trailers manufactured before 1970 it's the fact that few open and close without the seals cracking and the frames shifting out of plum eliminating moisture.
Here at VARR, Inc. (Vintage Airstream Restorations & Repairs) we are pushing ourselves to solving a very common problem that haunts all Airstream owners and the interior of their Airstream trailers both large and small.
Our innovative solution will guarantee the air and water tight construction of all Airstream trailers left in a field to rot for over 60 years.

Many Times a Potential Airstream Buyer Can Get Overly Excited...
Many times a potential Airstream buyer can get overly excited and even blinded by emotions when on the “hunt” for their perfect piece of history to purchase.
It must be noted that long before the exchange of money, the enthusiastic buyer (buyers) must know the basic background of each vintage trailer being considered to own and as much visible inspections are good but dig as deep as you can with the seller to find the flaws….and there are many.

Everything Works...Well Not Usually
We have heard from our customers time and time again that when they bought their trailer, the seller assured them that "everything works".

A Restoration Blast from the Past
1950 was a wholesome time in America and 1950 was a pivotal time for innovation.
Unique ideas were popping up all over, but as fast as a unique niche surfaced another moment of genius rose its head. By taking common materials from World War II, the travel industry specifically aluminum trailers, invented a hotel room on wheels.
