This 1992 Airstream trailer looks just like a regular one from the outside with the triple axle chassis and the signature riveted aluminium body

The trailer is being auctioned in the US by Bonhoms during the Quail Lodge Auction in Carmel, California on August 13. The listing describes the Airstream trailer in detail. On the outside, there are no changes that differentiate this trailer from the others that came out of the factory in Jackson, Ohio. It gets a triple axle frame with the signature riveted aluminium body. However, you do find stickers on the windows that memorialise Hanks' different movies from over two decades right from Sleepless in Seattle, Forest Gump, to The Circle in 2017.

Tom Hanks bought the trailer in 1993 after growing tired of the uncomfortable cookie-cutter trailers that were usually offered on sets back in the day. He then asked for a custom interior that comprises a kitchen and bathroom built-in. The idea was to make a comfortable home on location during shoots, and so, the trailer came with his own furniture including a standard sofa with removable legs. It also gets an electric fireplace, a small dining area with a table and chairs in the kitchen and a small bed placed at the back. The complete package is on sale with the trailer.

More importantly, it gets some epic memorabilia that Hollywood buffs and fans of the actor will absolutely love. From the Apollo 13 mug signed by Hanks along with co-stars Gary Sinise, Bill Paxton, and Kevin Bacon; to an autographed cabinet and air conditioner by the Cast Away actor, make sure this Airstream is one-of-a-kind.
