1988 Airstream Excella 32 Restored | Turnkey Ready
This 1988 Airstream Excella 32 is a very well-maintained camper trailer that has undergone a two-part, extensive interior and exterior restoration and is ready to be enjoyed for many years to come.
Interior & Overall Condition
The interior features a bright, updated design while still maintaining the classic Airstream character. The layout is open and functional, making it well-suited for a variety of uses, including Airbnb, guest accommodations, or a private retreat. Commissioned units restored to this level, inside and out, commonly cost well over $100,000.
The previous restoration was completed by another shop as a full chassis-up restoration only a few years ago and has been very lightly used since. It later received light, primarily cosmetic, storm damage.
This presents a great opportunity to obtain a beautifully restored 1988 Airstream for significantly less than the cost invested.
The shell, frame, and subfloor are in excellent restored condition, and the camper looks, feels, and smells like a brand-new 2026 restoration. The appliances are like new and show no signs of use.

Important Note:
Due to the way the insurance company processed the storm damage claim, this unit is not eligible for registration or tagging and is not intended for regular highway use, despite its overall roadworthy condition.
It is best suited for stationary use such as an Airbnb, guest accommodation, or similar setup.
The bedroom currently features a queen-size memory foam mattress. The living room converts into a larger than king-size bed by lowering the table and placing a support panel.
Because the prior restoration work was completed by another shop, we are unable to provide guarantees on the build. Awnings show signs of use small holes, small stains, loos stitching. see photos.
The step light and entry light above the door are functional. The patio light to the right of the door was decommissioned during restoration. Minor exterior dents are present upon close inspection, It is nearly impossible to find an Airstream of this age without at least some dents, dings, and scratches. She has excellent character.
