Airstream 30FB Office Travel Trailer Perfect for Working From Anywhere

Airstream recently released its Flying Cloud 30FB Office floor plan, putting dedicated office space in its most popular product line. Replacing a sleeping area with office space, the idea was formulated due to the growing popularity of working remotely and the idea of digital nomadism.

At 30 feet in length, the 30FB Office is a double-axle travel trailer that weighs in at 6,757 pounds, with a maximum trailer capacity (GVWR) of 8,800 pounds, making it towable with a 3/4-ton pickup. With a queen bed, bench, and a convertible dinette, the 30FB Office still provides room for six to sleep, and the starting price is $107,500.

This version differs from Airstream’s standard 30FB with its dedicated workspace. It has an office chair that can be tucked out of the way, allowing for one person to sleep or relax, and while it contains things you’d expect in an office like storage and drawers, there are a divider and black-out curtains to provide separation while Zoom conferencing, and three windows for a view of the outdoors. Additionally, there are multiple USB ports, a pull-out table for more workspace, grommets on the desk to mount a monitor or organize cables, and overhead storage cabinets with dry-erase surfaces.

Bob Wheeler, Airstream President and CEO said, “Airstream has always provided the freedom of a mobile living, playing, and working space, but the Flying Cloud 30FB Office takes that promise to the next level with flexibility and comfort in a design inspired by real-world experience. We learned a lot – not only about the necessity of connectivity and options for increased power, but about the joy of closing your laptop and stepping out onto the trail. They’d found a seamless transition between work and play and travel, and we wanted to find a way to bring the unique freedom of this work from anywhere lifestyle to the community, as well as to new audiences.”

With a father who owned a dealership, I literally grew up in the business. After college, I worked for GM, Nissan and Mazda, writing articles for automotive enthusiast magazines as a side gig. I discovered you could make a living selling ad space at Four Wheeler magazine, before I moved on to selling TV for the National Hot Rod Association. After that, I started Roadhouse, a marketing, advertising and PR firm dedicated to the automotive, outdoor/apparel, and entertainment industries. Through the years, I continued writing, shooting, and editing. It keep things interesting.

    I know a couple who are living the nomadic lifestyle right now with their 8-year-old and two cats. They considered a trailer like this one and a truck, but decided the combination was too expensive. Instead they got a lightly used ProMaster-based motorhome. I honestly can't believe they're all spending months on the road in such a small vehicle, but they seem happy.

    I've spent my entire life doing things the wrong way. But I always bring 50% more truck than legally required to do the job. Is it why I'm still here?

  • FreedMike I think this race is a hoot, and NASCAR road racing is terrific. I’d put a five on Kyle Larson.
  • Akear The Germans will strip mine the company just like they did with Chrysler a quarter century ago.
  • 3-On-The-Tree Theflyersfan. Agreed, I grew up as a teenager in the late 80’s, early 90’s. My dad is a baby boomer and had the classic cars. He had a 1957 Corvette with a 283 with 2-4 barrel carbs, 68 Plymouth Belvedere with 383 V8. I had a 1973 Duster with a slant six, really wanted a 340 V8 in it. And a 74 Dodge dart custom with a 318 and last was a 1969 T- Bird with a 429. I got commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant and sold all those cars. Fast forward 22 years post army retirement and I bought that Vette and had bought a 1985 FJ60 Land Cruisers. In addition to a 2002 Suzuki Hayabusa, 1989 Suzuki GS1000G, 1986 Suzuki GT750. So my boys appreciate the older cars and bikes, simplicity of V8’s, naturally aspirated non turbos. I also bought a 1970 7up vending machine and it’s still running with original compressor/condenser. So my boys appreciate the quality of American manufacturing both in cars and commercial items.
  • FreedMike An EV DeLorean definitely won't have any problems getting up to 88 and a half miles per hour. And that's a good thing - the original was a complete dog, and that was a big reason why they didn't sell.
  • ToolGuy The interesting thing about Foley's rental Bronco is how it has been retrofitted with 4-wheel steering with tiller fire truck levels of rear steering angle -- that or the world's slowest smoothest drift. (For clues to what is actually going on, notice the ride height relative to surrounding traffic, suspension movements and steering inputs with the 'in-car' shots of the daughter's convertible.) Does anyone watch anything anymore, or you all buried in your phones lol.
