I got a pic when I was at the factory last week of the newly re-introduced 34 footer Airstream Classics during my cross country trip towing my Airstream East Ocean to West Ocean (currently in Vegas at Circus Circus RV Park).

BTW - great trip - be in San Diego tomorrow - promise to post a write up...

So here is the picture as taken at the Airstream factory. Photo is just ok - cause we know us civilians are not supposed to be taking photos in the factory...

So here is your picture - like I said not very good - but at least you get to see it...

that's nice to see. i'm a bit partial to 34's ;-)

Neat Airstream, thanx.

I'm sitting here in the Terra Port and had a tour of the Airstream Factory and the 34' is nice and with all LED lighting inside it really is well lit up. Keep making them for they will surely sell.

What's the floor plan? The windows seem different from the 09 version.

I just looked at the 2009 brochure. You are right, the windows are different. The window pattern is identical to our 2010 Classic 31D, which has the galley on the curb side. So I am guessing that the 34 now has the Galley on that side also.

That sure would be nice.

Does anyone know if they can be custom ordered? The wife and I have been going back and forth with the different models and although we would prefer something smaller, the lack of space for the little one is making us rethink what we should do.

It would be nice if they would make one without the mouse fur. I really like the aluminum look of the flying clouds and internationals.

When we ordered our classic a year ago, the dealer said just about anything custom can be ordered for a $500 charge plus the cost of the customization.

After looking at the trailers, the mouse fur was one of the reasons we only considered the Classics. We both found the aluminum interiors stark and sterile in appearance. Obviously that puts us in a minority on these forums.

To me the mouse fur gives the trailer a warmer cozy feeling.

I've searched all over the Internet looking for a late model 34 but haven't been able to find one.

I'm assuming that it's $500 per change. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The wall coverings aren't bad, but in ten years that may change.

I guess I should hit up a dealer and find out what it would cost to add some windows and leave out the wall coverings.

there was no 34 in '09...

unless one counts the panAM.

and while that vessel is 34 the layout is 25 and it's not a classic.

window placement in the op is typical of most 34s made in this century.

with the fridge vent along the curbside and 'stacked windows' over the dinette.

so the galley is probably streetside, per the typical layout.

stiil it is GOOD to see they're making a few once again.

Thanks for pointing that out. The window behind the door is a bit difficult to see, but now that I've had a second look I can see them.

The below is from the 2009 Airstream brochure published in August 2008.

When we first looked at Airstreams in May of 2009, the 34 was an option.

As far as I know, it was quoted as per change, but I didn't investigate, because the only change I was looking for was a better converter. It was cheaper to do it later myself.

When I ordered the trailer and wanted a couple of items different than the standard, I was charged the $500 once for all changes.

Chikusho! · 06-02-2010, 05:26 PM

What kind of changes? Minor or major?

Flooring vs. windows?

elfirebob · 06-02-2010, 05:55 PM

John,
I've always loved the way the 31's and 34's look. Majestic on the road, parked in the campground. Thanks for the pic. Welcome home, you had a few long hauls during your C to C eh-

boondockdad · 06-02-2010, 06:36 PM

Beauty.
How'd you sneak a camera past security?

I wanted the 31, DW wanted the 34
We compromised on the 30 S/O

MaxAB · 06-05-2010, 06:04 AM

That, my Airstream friends, is A LOT of aluminum behind the tow rig. SWEET, like candy! Something cool about that "3 axle look."

Thanks for acquiring that photo, hope your EAST/WEST trip was fun and safe...

I don't think it makes any difference as far as the $500 change fee is concerned but you also have the extra labor and parts fee attached to whatever else you want added or deleted. At least this is the way it was explained to me.
I just had minor changes to my trailer that were out of the norm. The carpet deleted and replaced with all vinyl flooring and an extra light outside installed over the entrance door with a seperate switch for it inside.
I did ask for flag pole boxes and different wheels and tires but those are not considered changes at the plant level and would have to be addressed at the service and parts dept. after the build or with the dealership. So I didn't get those extras and will wait till I'm at Jackson Center someday and maybe get those extras then.
Otherwise, the trailer options listed for my model trailer all worked for me and with those I included the boondocker pkg, pantry microwave and the twin bed set up.
I understand that you can have different color Corian counter tops put in that are not the standard colors. We thought about it for a while but decided that the sandstone color that comes with our model works well with the other colors they picked for the valances, flooring, bedding so we stayed with it.

Good to be back West - so nervous I was going to hit some nasty hail in the mid west - really scary weather out there! Next big trip will be five days at Malibu RV park - looking forward after the long C-C tow a short "San Diego - Malibu" trip overlooking the beach for a few days. :-)
