Customizing Airstreams since 1931

From the very beginning, the shiny aluminum Airstream shell has inspired designers, business owners, celebrities, and countless others to customize the Airstream interior to suit their needs. From NASA to home studios, Airstream has created custom travel trailers since the historical beginning.

Mobile Quarantine Facility

When the Apollo 11 astronauts returned from the moon in 1969 they were quarantined in a modified Airstream Travel Trailer known as the Mobile Quarantine Facility (or MQF) to contain any possible lunar pathogens. With its aircraft-like construction and self-containment features, the Airstream was the perfect solution for a MQF that could withstand the rigors of transportation.
