The Discovery Channel did a special on how Airstreams are made! They're very carefully custom made! First the aluminum pieces are riveted together and sealed to make the waterproof shell. Openings are cut out and the windows are doors are installed. The insulation is put in the interior followed by the same aluminum finish. The vinyl floor is installed by hand and then the furnishings are put in.
No wonder why 70% of all Airstreams ever built are still on the road!
