Airstreams

These vintage Airstream trailers are the same ones movie stars back in the day would change in.

We liked the idea of something completely unexpected for you to have for your event to use as changing rooms, photo ops, or anything else you need a personal space for. One has been refurbished with a old Hollywood Glam feel. The other has been tricked out with LED lighting and TVs for gaming
