A growing number of people have been buying up and restoring vintage campers, either hitting the road or parking one in the backyard and listing it on Airbnb. Embracing this retro-renaissance, the Indiana-based RV manufacturer Shasta is reissuing the 1961 Airflyte — prized for its stainless-steel wings and “canned ham” shape — with modern amenities like an enclosed bathroom, A/C and Bluetooth functionality; both the 16- and 19-footers come in sea-foam green or polo white and matador red. Mark Lucas, the company’s president, hopes that a generation accustomed to jet travel and resort vacations will discover the basic pleasures of towing your hotel behind you. “It isn’t about the camper,” he says. “It’s about where the camper brings you.”
