A great gift idea for Airstream owners: An authoritative and entertaining guide to the wildly popular, beautifully designed luxury recreational vehicle that has become a cultural icon, embodying the American spirit of freedom and adventure—and the ideal in mobile living. With its distinctive silver-bullet shaped profile, the Airstream has been an integral part of the American recreational landscape for more than eighty-five years. Since the 1930s, thousands of Americans have used it as a personal canvas to paint their own unique story as they’ve traveled the road of life, and today, these stunning, nostalgia-laden vehicles are more popular than ever. In Living the Airstream Life , Karen Flett tells the unique story of the designers who have transformed the brand into a mainstay of American life and the dreamers who have found their home, and their heart, in an Airstream. Living the Airstream Life is a tour along the diverse roads aficionados have taken in chasing their Airstream dreams. Stunning color photographs featuring new and vintage versions and compelling stories capture the allure of the Airstream and offer advice and insight on the practicalities of adopting this lifestyle. With spectacular photography and compelling stories, Living the Airstream Life offers inspiration for those actively pursuing the dream of life on the road—whether for permanent living or as a temporary escape from the daily grind—and everyone who wants to live vicariously through those who dare. Review: Great book for the coffee table! - If you have an airstream ( or are just interested), this is a great book to have for the coffee table. It gives a history of the travel trailers, has some great photography, and is a quality book. Made a great gift in my case! Review: Airstream Companion - I bought this book as a gift for a relative who loves to travel and who plans to get an airstream in the near future. He was very pleased to receive the book--oohed and aahed as he scanned the pages before moving on to open other gifts.

Interesting book - well worth a read
Beautiful book based around a very American way of life and living, Parts of the books premises is the expected and interesting meeting of the different people embracing a mobile lifestyle, the stories is what caries the book over rather un-engaging photography. But from beginning to end the book create a in-depth portrait of the AirStream trailers, from beginning up through today, with chapters on maintenance, financing and how to make a living from your crisp new (or remodeled) trailer. If you have any interest in trailers, micro-homes, live in sprinter-van's etc.. it is in fact a fascinating read, however the language and constant harping on the Airstream products high ideals, design goals and unique contribution to the world, makes it hard to imagine this book being written by anyone outside of the Airstream marketing department, Im not sure Karen Flett's connection, But everything said and done, thats not really important, its a well documented read and bit of a reference for anything Airstream. Ultimately for me the voyage is exciting and well worth getting the book. Recommended.

One of the beat books on Airstream’s
Fantastic book. Not only for avid “Airstreamer’s” but also for those planning to purchase or just want to learn about this American Icon. Karen has done a fantastic job of organizing all of the aspects of the Airstream from history to customizing, to full-timing and media resources, with excellent photos. Thanks Karen, i’m enjoying my copy immensely😎
