The Airstream Overlander is a true legend. Our client didn’t want it sitting unused in the backyard, so the idea of turning it into a summer cabin made perfect sense. Our team took on the challenge, and soon a forgotten travel trailer became a stylish home. In this article, we’ll show and tell you all about this exciting Airstream trailer conversion.

Start with the Floor Plan
We started this project with an idea and a vintage Airstream as a foundation. To bring the vision to life, our team created a detailed floor plan. We carefully sketched out the interior layout, furniture placement, dimensions, and utilities. Planning on paper helped us anticipate challenges and achieve a balanced, functional design. Once the concept was ready, we moved on to construction with confidence.
Airstream Overlander Conversion Inside and Out
The joy of a summer cabin begins before you even step inside. We worked on the camper’s exterior and improved the surrounding landscape. Overgrown bamboo was cleared, the shell was polished, wheels were restored, and two wooden decks were built.
First impression
We installed new windows, vents, and exterior lighting. To ensure long-term strength, the wheels were cut, cleaned, painted, filled with concrete, and installed back in place.
Outside, we built two custom decks from durable garapa wood. The front deck includes a wide entry step for easy access, while the rear deck features an outdoor shower and a built-in box housing the AC unit and water heater.

What’s inside?
To make sure the glossy exterior matched a truly cozy interior, we equipped the trailer with modern systems:
- Compact toilet and functional plumbing system
- Small yet practical kitchen
- Reliable power system and air conditioner unit
- Updated drain system for convenience
