I think the "official" definition of a "park model" trailer is one without selfcontained systems such as on board holding tanks and battery-12volt services. Not sure whether Airstream ever actually marketed these types other than maybe custom unit now and then.
Maybe Fred Colwell could advise..??
I agree that the shorties are the most popular and the most expensive (valuable) vintage ones. But I am not sure the long-boys should be considered park models. However if fuel prices keep going as I think that they will, then (IMHO) many Airstreams will become park models. 
That is what mine was (on a deer lease) and exactly what I envision as it's next life as well, a portable lake house. |
As usual, I stand corrected. My ignorance regarding the official definition of what is a park model and what isn't is obvious. I'll defer to the experts on this.
For my part, I don't think that I would be able to afford to tow units that weigh much more than what I'm towing. If I had a camper that weiged in excess of 6,000lbs, I would have to make it a parked model.
