Airstream offers Tommy Bahama-themed RVs

Jackson Center-based Airstream, a manufacturer of recreational vehicles or RVs, and Tommy Bahama, an “island-inspired lifestyle brand,” are partnering to create two new vehicles, an “Airstream Tommy Bahama Special Edition Travel Trailer and Interstate Touring Coach,” the companies said in a joint announcement.

“Airstream founder Wally Byam was an innovator and a lover of the outdoors, who believed in an enduring promise of adventure, new experiences and faraway lands,” Bob Wheeler, Airstream chief executive, said in the statement. “That same freedom-loving spirit is also deeply woven into the essence of Tommy Bahama, and together we are on a mission to inspire travelers to get out there and experience all the road has to offer.”

“When it comes to relaxed attitudes, you’d be hard pressed to find two brands that exemplify those qualities better than Tommy Bahama and Airstream,” Rob Goldberg, executive vice president of marketing for Tommy Bahama, said in the same release.

Each of these special edition Airstream Travel Trailers and Interstate Coaches will feature “roomy living spaces designed with an island-inspired aesthetic,” the companies said. Included will be a built-in bar fitted to hold Tommy Bahama double old-fashioned and stemless wine glasses and a rear sport hatch.
