Overview
Adventure or Tiny Home? 2005 Airstream 28' – Exceptional Value | *serious inquires only.*
If you've dreamed of owning an Airstream but haven't loved the price tags, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
We're offering our 2005 Airstreamsubstantially below current market values. We've intentionally priced this trailer below low retail because we'd rather be upfront about the work we'd planned to do ourselves and let the next owner make it their own.
This Airstream offers the iconic styling, spacious layout, and quality construction that have made these trailers so sought after. Whether you're looking for a travel trailer, a guest suite, or a unique tiny-home living solution, this Safari has tremendous potential—especially for those interested in off-grid camping or extended stays, thanks to its solar and propane systems.
Highlights / Upgrades
- Solar power system with battery bank, solar panels, and inverter (ideal for off-grid use)
- Air conditioning and furnace/heat both functioning
- On-demand propane hot water heater
- Propane oven and 3-burner stove in excellent working condition
- Plumbing, holding tanks and water system functional (see note below regarding output hose)
- Propane system in working order
- All exterior awnings (3) in premium condition
- Premium Hensley Hitch included—one of the most highly regarded weight-distribution and anti-sway hitches available, providing exceptional towing stability and valued by experienced RV owners.
- Spacious 28' floorplan (with full kitchen and bathroom)
- Ample storage throughout
- Classic aluminum Airstream construction with tons of natural lighting
- Clean title
- Solid foundation for travel, full-time living, or creative renovation
A FEW NOTES DEPENDING ON YOUR PLANS:
If you're purchasing this Airstream for travel and adventure: We recommend replacing the trailer tires before embarking on any major trips. You'll also want a properly equipped ¾-ton pickup (or equivalent tow vehicle) for safe and comfortable towing.
If you're purchasing it as a guest suite, or full-time living space: This trailer could realistically be ready for move-in within a weekend or two. Most of the remaining projects are cosmetic or straightforward handyman repairs, making it an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a unique and affordable living space.
TO BE REPLACED:
REFRIGERATOR
The original factory was a dual electric/propane refrigerator and no longer works. A buyer wanting to return to the original configuration could do so, but should expect an investment of roughly $2,000 (high end) for a comparable replacement unit. Many owners choose to retrofit with modern alternatives instead.
MISSING COUCH
The original futon-style couch was removed. Our plan was to build a custom daybed over the existing solar battery setup, creating a more functional living space. This gives the next owner flexibility to create a seating or sleeping arrangement that fits their own vision.
MINOR EXTERIOR REPAIRS
- Exterior bumper has a small crack.
- One rear stabilizer is bent and should be replaced (it was damaged after backing over a tree root).
- The entry step should be replaced before regular use.
MINOR INTERIOR REPAIRS
- One Fantastic Fan is not currently functioning and is an easy replacement (approx $200).
- The plumbing system needs a new output hose. (Easy peasy - and most buyers choose to buy a new output hose regardless;)
- One interior wood cabinet component needs
