Welcome, Narnia!

There's a lot of confusion over the term "Land Yacht," because Airstream's use of that term changed over the years. For example, in the early '60s, each model had a name (i.e., Bambi, Overlander) AND was described as a Land Yacht. In the early '70s, Airstream used the term Land Yacht to describe a specific "option package" for the various models (i.e., you could get a Tradewind with the "Land Yacht package."). At some point, they used the term as a model name.

Often, you will see a trailer for sale that is advertised as a Land Yacht, but the trailer really has a different model name. There's a trailer on ebay now that is listed as a "25' Land Yacht." It's really a 1962 26' Overlander.

In 1972, Airstream made two 25' trailer models. One was called "Tradewind," and one was called "Caravanner." You could get the Land Yacht package on either, or the International package. I couldn't tell you what was in each option package--maybe someone else can.

BTW, you may be interested in reading the prior threads on this Forum relating to the suitability of Jeeps as tow vehicles. I'm guessing your "FS Jeep" means the Cherokee model (The USFS's rig of choice). If you're committed to the Jeep, you'll want to research how big a trailer you can safely tow. You may want something shorter (lighter) than 25', and maybe older (the older models are lighter). There's a beautiful '64 Globetrotter (19') on ebay right now.

Good Luck!
