5 Great Airstream Food Trailer Conversions

Eye Catching Mobile Kitchens

About any Airstream trailer can be converted into a food serving platform. This includes those classic Airstream trailers made popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Airstream's streamlined design and polished aluminum finish is immediately recognizable. The rounded design of these trailers has reached icon status worldwide.

Airstreams, originally built as mobile homes for long camping trips, are now being tapped for mobile food trailers by savvy entrepreneurs leveraging the head-turning ability of these classic icons to attract attention to their concession business.

This article explores some well-executed Airstream conversions to give you a better sense of what’s possible and help you determine if an Airstream is the right choice for you.

Pacifico Beer Traveling Promotion

Pacifico Brewery is now using two traveling Airstreams to promote their beer. These billboards on wheels, including a lit sign on top, make appearances at big events around the USA. More recently at a large beach party in New Jersey and the X-Games in Colorado where they sold out. Trailers were equipped by PVT with plenty of refrigeration to keep the beer cold. Multiple built-in taps at the serving window keep the draft beer flowing. Both trailers were designed with a lounge/seating area. A large rear hatch makes for easy loading of kegs.

A 1969 Airstream Safari that houses a beautiful kitchen serving crepes to hungry customers on the beaches of Florida. PVT built this unit, like all trailers we do, to be road ready for traveling from location to location. We also added a 136 inch 4 panel glass sliding window to keep out dirt and debris when in operation.

Air Grille in Philadelphia

Brûlée Catering operates this 32ft Excella 500 food truck in Dilworth Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Serving American cuisine made with seasonal, local ingredients, business is hopping. Like the Pacifico trailers, PVT also equipped this one with a large rear hatch for easy loading of the ingredients needed for a great lunch!

Baha Mar Restaurant - Bahamas

This is one of 4 Airstream restaurants in the resort area of Baha Mar on Cable Beach in the Bahamas. A 30ft Argosy, she houses a full blown 'Chef Class' kitchen with two grills, five refrigerators, warming rack, and a large commercial deep fryer. Overtop of those is a 10ft commercial range hood with a high-volume rooftop vent fan. The trailer is wired for 220volt 200amp service. PVT wrapped the entire interior in easy-clean aluminum with a durable poured epoxy floor. Stainless steel countertops and a fold out stainless serving counter complete this perfect kitchen on wheels.
