Here's what the seller has to say about this fantastic Airstream Designed 4WD:
This rig combines Airstream quality design and fabrication on a rugged Ford E350 van chassis, a reliable 7.3 liter diesel engine with turbocharger and 4WD. Use it as a mobile mountain cabin for hunting, fishing, prospecting etc., a beach shack for surfing in Baja, a home-away-from-home at remote construction sites, or take it to the big city and park in a standard size parking space.
It was custom built for a doctor and wife (avid wildlife photographers) and delivered to northern California in May of 1993. The first adventure was a trip to Alaska. The second owners used the rig to haul supplies from nortern CA to Baja and as a base camp while building their retirement beach house. Over the last 8 years we have used it to wander many of the backroads of the Southwest, visting natural wonders and ancient Native American sites.
It sleeps up to four with a 72” x 40” convertible sofa and a 72” x 76” sleeping area over the cab. Park style hook-ups include a 35’ 30amp power cord, city water hook-up, telephone and cable connections. The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, microwave oven and 4-burner propane stove with oven. The rear bathroom area includes a toilet, medicine cabinet with mirror, and a sit-down shower. The shower can also be used outside for a quick rinse. Ample storage is provided with overhead lockers, drawers in the kitchen area and under the sofa, and a hanging locker in the rear.

Mechanical Condition:
Mechanically the unit is in very good operating condition and - at 83K miles - the diesel engine is just about broken-in. It should be good for another 300K+ miles. The Goodyear Wrangler HT LT2445/75R16 tires have approximately 75% of original tread, but are 8-years old and age cracked. Strongly recommend installing new tires before making any extended trips. If desired, I will arrange for installation of new tires of your choice - and at your expense - before you arrive for pick-up.
Cosmetic Issues (see photos):
- Functionally the unit is in very good condition, but with the following blemishes it won’t win any beauty contests;
- Front window of overhead sleeping compartment has a vertical hairline crack from top to bottom. Has been this way for over eight years and does not leak.
- Back end of right-side running board trim is broken off.
- Slight body damage behind right rear wheel opening.
- Slight body damage at outside edge of right rear door and ladder to topside. Looks like someone closed the door on an awning pole.
- One center hub cover is missing.
- Both FlexSteel captain’s chairs need reupholstering or new seat covers.
- The larger mattress section for the overhead bed needs re-covering.
- The curtains are a mix of the originals, some of which are deteriorating and/or stained, and some crudely made replacements.
- The carpeting is worn and has a stubborn stain in front of the stove area.
The rig hasn’t been used in over two years - time to let someone else begin their adventures. It is located in Southern California and is offered “AS IS, WHERE IS.” We’ll be happy to help you arrange for pick-up/delivery.
