Yes, it's like this trailer, but newer. Look at the doors! How many AS TTs do you see with front AND rear doors?

I'm guessing that the blue text and graphics is a skin that they have somehow cleverly laid over the TT, and not paint.

Maybe a 70's or 80's vintage model, with some custom, multi-segmented end caps...too bad they didn't paint their submarine a Bright Yellow...

The doors, door hinges, and door locks look identical the door on my 2004 30' Classic. I love the fact that Airstream will manufacture these custom jobs!

Looks like a mid-1970's Sovereign or Ambassador, with a much later model rear door added.

The tongue area looks like a new trailer to me, and I can't imagine anyone retro-fitting new doors so well on an old trailer. I'd think with those awesome endcaps it would have to be a custom job from the Airstream factory itself. Neat find, whatever it is!

I'll throw my guess into the hat. Something from the last decade based on the tongue, lower belly area and the wheel wells with plastic or foam under that blue vinyl body wrap to give the ends the submarine shape. The lights mounted on the bumper look like the temporary trailer lights kit you can buy.

I wonder how they mounted the props?

Isn't that why they all have water pumps?
