1961 airstream land yacht value

3. structural integrity..

A sparkling clean trailer inside and out brings more money than a dirty one. A trailer that looks like the one pictured above? You get the idea. I have added thousands of dollars to a trailers value simply from removing a dumpster load of garbage and washing off 30 years of dirt and dust from the vessel.

If you are selling, take the time to clean things up or the buyer is going to take that off of the price they pay., 11. buyer and seller motivation.

Remembering Airstream’s fanciest trailer: the Land Yacht

The nautically-themed trailer is out of production, but its memory lives on in other Airstream models

Airstream trailers have been nicknamed a lot of things: the Silver Bullet, a Toaster-on-Wheels, and even the Silver Twinkie. But the now iconic American aluminum trailer—especially its largest models—has also been known as a “land yacht,” thanks to its high-end design reminiscent of the largest ships on the sea.

Airstream lived up to this title in 2014 when it debuted what it called “the most luxurious Airstream ever conceived.” The special edition model—the Land Yacht 28 —boasted three rooms and was designed with the help of Mauro Micheli, head designer at yacht design firm Officina Italiana Design , with cabinetry from the Italian firm Tecnoform.

All of that impressive pedigree meant one thing for the Land Yacht: It was fancy. Designed to resemble a luxury watercraft, the 28-foot trailer slept six and came with boat-deck plank flooring, LED lighting, and Corian countertops. The master bedroom boasted a pillow top queen mattress, a 30-inch flatscreen, and plenty of under-the-bed storage.

The technology and decor was also first class. A powered pedestal table moved the dining room table out of the way to free up space, and a powered outdoor awning made shade accessible. The interior came in two color options, dark wood and cream or a lighter wood with dark grey seating fabric.

The Land Yacht started at $146,362 and because it was a special edition model, it had limited production.

“It doesn’t come down to how many Special Edition units we sell, it’s about creating truly unique models that allow our team, and those we partner with a creative outlet to try new ideas,” said Bryan Melton, General Manager of travel trailers at Airstream.

“When you remove certain constraints, you allow engineers and designers to maximize their creativity. The results are truly special, like the Land Yacht, which continue to make strong statements within Airstream’s prolific history.”

Not long after the debut of the Land Yacht, Airstream took many of that model’s favorite qualities and added them to the remodeled Classic trailer and their new line of Class-B luxury touring coaches . Today, the Land Yacht is still on the product page of Airstream’s website , but according to a reputable Airstream dealer in Colorado, the only Land Yachts still left for sale are in Canada.

For many Airstream fanatics, the Land Yacht will go down as one of the fanciest—and best designed—trailers in the company’s history. Take a 360-degree tour, over here .

My wife inherited this and it has some issues that need to be dealt with. Anyone on here work on these. It needs door fixed. It’s needs new door handle installed which she has. The door itself needs adjusting. The discharge valve for the holding tank needs to be fixed or replaced. The tank itself may need to be replaced but I can’t tell by by just looking at it. Trailer is in Kershaw. Can be pulled to midlands. Thanks Bone

There's a place off of 95 near Florence that deals with these things. I don't know if they work on them, but they have a lot full for sale.

family Rv and repair in Great Falls

Know nothing about rvs but have heard good things about place in Mcbee. https://brownsrvsuperstore.com

A typical RV repair won't be where I would go. I would start with talking to an airstream specialist. Airstreams are a breed apart. 55 year old airstreams are even more unique. I would start at the ground and work up: tires, wheels, hubs, axels, springs, frame and so on. Make it safe to pull first. Second, make sure it's waterproof. Check for mold and soft spots. If needed, seal it up. If it doesn't keep water out, dump it. Then I would move to electrical. 55 year old wiring and switches will be suspect. Remember, this electrical system wSnt in a stick built home. It was in a trailer in the yard. Then plumbing, both incoming and outgoing. It can cost as much as you want to spend, but can be worth it. Vintage airstreams are cool. They can be worth a chunk of change too. Best advice I could give is find an expert on the subject and ask lots of questions. It might even be worth a couple of hundred dollars for an expert inspection. Would be a really cool project. Keep us updated.

I can’t help you on most of it but I am the official aftermarket Airstream Mattress supplier when you make it that far.

update pulled it to the house. Found a guy to fix the door and sewer valve. I will take it to him end of summer can dry camp if we want to. New electric was installed by previous owner. New ac on it. No leaks. So far so good. Insurance value is around 10 grand.

Do yourself a favor and take it to one of those professional semi-truck detailers and let them buff it out. In addition to looking great, you will be able to spot areas that need attention easy then. MG hqdefault.jpg
