Airstream is an American manufacturer of distinctive riveted aluminium travel trailers and motorhomes founded by Wally Byam in 1931. Its polished silver barrel-shaped silhouette is one of the most recognisable icons of American camping culture.

Airstream's towable lineup includes Flying Cloud, Bambi, Classic and International. The company also produces Class B motorhomes (Interstate, Atlas) on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platforms. Vintage 1960s–70s Airstreams command premium prices on the used market due to their cult status.
