Pete : 1958 22' Airstream Flying Cloud
Pete, a quaint ’58 Airstream Flying Cloud, had been in its owner's family for years, gifted from one generation to the next. As the lovely California couple who owned Pete looked towards retirement, they saw days spent on the open road in their vintage Chrysler New Yorker, an Airstream Flying Cloud in tow. In order to tether Pete’s rebuild and renovation to his family history and legacy, we tied in the original Airstream layout and retro Airstream design from 1958. Today, Pete is rolling his way through the U.S. as an Airstream travel trailer that’s part modern, part throwback, and nothing short of sweet.

In order to restore Pete to where we wanted him to be, we installed fresh exterior Airstream lights and lenses, as well as new water tanks—all from Vintage Trailer Supply. We also added a Nature’s Head composting toilet to help keep things simple and fresh while on the road, and an On Demand hot water heater by Suburban to ensure a spa-like experience at the end of every day.
