The [Airstream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usonian-limited) Trailers Campaign is a collaborative effort of 5 talented photographers with LenLee Represents of San Francisco. Each of the artists was asked to reveal their perspective of the [classic, yet quirky aluminum trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airstream-world-traveler-22rb) using their camera.

The photographers show us everything from fun retro images of hula hooping and tire swings by Darryl Bernstein to a more introspective look of a young family with a new baby by Rhea Anna. Wendi Nordeck made vintage laundry look like art hanging from an Airstream trailer. James Quantz Jr. took the eccentric Airstream approach; depicting a family or gorillas enjoying the trailer life, complete with water wings, fishing and beer. Check out the Airstream Trailers Campaign in the gallery.
