I originally posted this on a thread about motorhome production numbers. But then I realized that this translator should work for all post 1982 trailers and motorhomes so I reposted here:
I was inspired by this thread [motorhome production numbers] and decided to create a little .NET web application called the "Airstream VIN Translator". It will translate the Airstream VIN for your MH or Trailer (1982 or newer) for you. Just enter in your number and click the "Translate" button.
You can try it out at:

I translated mine and it's pretty accurate:
