I took my 29 foot airstream and weighed my options it was replace my frame and floor and all my hatches and some outer skins. Then go and find a big tow vehicle and be at least 8 or 10 thousand in debt or find a smaller camper so i took my 29 footer and cut 19 foot out of the middle and riveted the rear back to the front and replaced the floor and now I have a 10 ft small camper and kept the airstream. It was a lot cheaper than getting another one or a smaller one and i can tow it with a 4 cyl truck with no problems. All I wanted was a weekend camper and I liked my airstream so much that I had to make a custom camper .
I had to take it down to one axle and im still working on the floor plan I still have to put the belly pan on and put some of the inside panels in it is almost done.I call it my little bubble.
Very interesting! The shortest one that Airstream made was Der Klein Prince (The Little Prince). It is 13 feet long which makes the body around 10 Feet. They said that you could not go any smaller then that. If you add up the two ends, a door and room for an axel you are looking at a ten foot body. I would like to know how you managed to take another 3 feet off of it.
