History: Airstream Motorhomes Evolution

In 1974, Airstream began manufacturing Class A motorhomes under cover of the "Argosy" name plate which were produced up until 1978 when they determined the venture was successful and began producing the first examples in 1979 of the Classic unpainted aluminum motorhomes bearing the Airstream name plate.

Airstream-badged Class A motorhomes began as 24 and 28 ft models in 1979, and in the 1980s and 1990s, models ranging from 25 and 37 ft were marketed. In 1981, Airstream's Commercial Vehicle Division marketed a Class A motorhome as a funeral coach to transport family, flowers and the deceased to the cemetery.

The aluminum motorhomes were followed by more traditional-looking fiberglass models in the 1990s. One bus model, the Skydeck, featured interior stairs leading to a deck on the roof.

Starting in 1989, Airstream built Class B motorhomes based on the Ford Econoline chassis and the Dodge B-series van chassis. Production of these ceased after the 1999 model year.

In 2004, Airstream introduced the Westfalia and Interstate class B motorhomes built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The Westfalia along with Airstreams class A motorhome production was discontinued in 2006.

From 2007 on Airstream offered the Interstate and later the Atlas class B models.
