We had some plumbing and small repairs done to our 1965 Tradewind. Mr Bond and his son were great. They expressed sincere caring about what we wanted and provided excellent communication during the process. We were provided with a detailed invoice and a walk through to look at the work before we left his shop. We highly recommend American Vintage Trailers to any Airsteam owner. Thank you, Mr. Bond, for the great job. We are road ready once again.

What an awesome Airstream maintenance experience with Rodney & his son, Scott! We are one year Airstreamers, so we decided to take our Aistream to Rodney after passing this place all the time on our way to Waco. They fixed all of our little things as we were preparing for the 1st summer road trip. The price was just right, and we had tons of other questions for them. They gladly answered them. Then, to top it off, we arrived in New Orleans & I had to call Rodney & get more assistance. He told me not to worry and told me the correct button to push. We will never go anywhere else but American Vintage Trailers for all of our RV needs & will tell family & friends too. THANK YOU Rodney & Scott! OJ/Jamie

We needed a few things done on our Airstream 8 years after Rodney and American Airstream rebuilt our 1960 Tradewind Landyacht. Two weeks after we brought it in, it was finished! We needed maintenance with a new rubber roof, switched out our sink from a double to single, and a few other things. We even got a wash and wax due to the dust storms that had come through in the time we had it with Rodney. Thank you!!

Airstreams in Central Texas – Common Issues & Repair Needs

Airstream trailers are a beloved choice for travel enthusiasts in Central Texas, offering a unique blend of style and functionality. However, the region’s specific climate and conditions can present unique challenges for Airstream owners.

 

Common Airstream Issues in Central Texas

  1. Roof Leaks and Water Damage

    • Cause: The intense Central Texas sun can cause sealants to deteriorate over time, leading to potential leaks during the rainy season.
    • Prevention: Regularly inspect and maintain roof seals to prevent water intrusion.

  2. Corrosion

    • Cause: Exposure to elements like magnesium chloride, used in some de-icing agents, can lead to corrosion on the aluminum body.
    • Prevention: Rinse your Airstream after exposure to such chemicals and consider protective coatings.

  3. Insulation Challenges

    • Issue: Airstreams are not traditionally four-season trailers, leading to potential discomfort during extreme temperatures.
    • Solution: Upgrade insulation and install efficient HVAC systems to maintain interior comfort.

  4. Suspension and Brake Wear

    • Cause: Traveling over diverse terrains in Texas can accelerate wear on suspension components and brakes.
    • Prevention: Regularly inspect and service these systems to ensure safe travels.

 

Airstream Popularity in Central Texas

Central Texas boasts a vibrant Airstream community, with dealerships like Airstream of DFW and Airstream of Austin serving enthusiasts across the region. The area’s diverse landscapes, from the Hill Country to urban centers, make it an ideal locale for Airstream adventures.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I inspect my Airstream for leaks?

Airstream roofs should be inspected at least twice a year—especially before and after the rainy season—to prevent costly water damage.

 

What are the signs of suspension wear on an Airstream?

Common signs of Airstream suspension wear include uneven tire wear, a rougher ride, and visible sagging. Regular inspections help prevent major issues and ensure a smooth towing experience.

 

Can I use my Airstream comfortably in Texas summers?

Yes! With upgraded insulation and a high-performance air conditioning system, your Airstream can stay cool even in extreme heat. We recommend checking your seals and adding reflective window treatments for additional comfort.

 

How can I prevent corrosion on my Airstream?

Regular washing, protective coatings, and avoiding road salt exposure can help prevent corrosion on your Airstream’s aluminum body. If you notice oxidation, professional polishing can restore the surface.

 

Where can I get expert Airstream repair near me in Texas?

We provide Airstream repair services in DFW, Austin, Texas Hill Country, and Brazos Valley.
