Airstream’s – CNN

Airstream's Flying Cloud 30FB is the first to be offered direct from the factory with office space.

The new Airstream Flying Cloud 30FB literally offers a corner office. Even in a 9 meter trailer, space is tight, so it’s not exactly a spacious workspace. Converted from what was originally sleeping space in the trailer, it has a desk and desk chair that slides easily into a notch in the desk. There are also connections for internet connections and a mounting location for a computer monitor.

The large trailer has sleeping space for six people, also in the office, which is equipped with a fold-out bed.

“We know the work landscape will be forever changed by the pandemic,” said Bob Wheeler, Airstream CEO. “This new offering reflects our commitment to be agile and responsive to the needs of current and future customers.”

The Flying Cloud's small office turns into sleeping quarters at night, if needed.

This is the first time that Airstream has offered a fully furnished workspace in a trailer direct from the company’s Jackson Center, Ohio, factory, an Airstream spokesperson said. The small desk has drawers and a built-in Blu-Ray player. Heavy curtains can be drawn over the windows to control lighting during video calls. Overhead storage areas have dry-erase surfaces on their doors for jotting down notes and reminders. The space also has USB and HDMI ports and of course power outlets.

In addition to some small beds, the Flying Cloud has a queen-size bed, a bathroom, a separate shower, a kitchen and a small dining area. Airstream plans to add office space as an option to other trailer models in the future, a spokesman said.

The travel trailer weighs about 6,800 pounds and costs $ 107,500. However, it may take a while to get one. Recreational vehicle and travel trailer sales boomed during the pandemic as travelers avoid air travel and hotels. There is a prominent warning on Airstream’s website: “Due to high demand, waiting times for new products are longer than usual.”
