About Urban Air®

What to Expect

This Airstream-Only Event will feature live music, Airstream experts, Factory tours and more. You’ll discover a museum, restaurants, parks, a riverwalk, and the local scenic splendor.

Camping on the downtown streets will sell out when we reach 101 units. You can be placed on an overflow list to be notified if a spot opens up downtown.

Our Purpose

CAMP FOR A CAUSE

Besides being a fun and informative event, Urban Air® is also a giant fund-raiser for the community. Our PIMP YOUR BLIMP™ Trailer Decorating Contest and auction benefit downtown development and charity.

We'll announce a theme ahead of time so you can get your decorations ready.

The URBAN AIR ART FAIR

is a juried competition that awards prizes to art students. You'll get to vote for the People's Choice Award.

Our Attendees

and stay tuned for more information.

Q. When did Urban Air begin? –P. Pressor, Kalamazoo, MI

A. In late October 2012, 33 trailers parked alongside M-99 in Downtown Eaton Rapids Michigan. The following year, 127 trailers were present and we raised over 800 lbs. of food for their local charity. The event received coast-to-coast publicity and was subsequently featured on NPR, PBS, British television, and many print publications.

Q. CAN WE ARRIVE BEFORE THURSDAY? –E. Bird, Rushton, PA

A. Absolutely! Harvest Hosts has a directory where members can stay nearby.

“Boondocking” with no hookups is available at the staging area on Wednesday night only. If you stay there, you must stay attached to the tow vehicle. There is also campsites available at the Eaton County Fairgrounds in nearby Charlotte, MI. We'll have more info on that later.

Q. WHEN DO WE PARK ON THE STREET? –P. Parks, Cement City, Michigan

A. Parking on the street will begin at 9:00 am Thursday. EVERYONE will meet at the staging area before being released . You will drive your trailer a couple blocks to the event area. Professional trailer wranglers will assist you at that point. We will depart on Sunday morning.

Q. CAN WE PARK NEAR OUR FRIENDS? –G. Budd, Pleasantville, NY

A. Where you will be parked depends on trailer length, door location and what obstructions there are on the sidewalks. Think of it as a giant jig-saw puzzle with many factors involved. Our volunteers do a great job.

Q. ARE DOGS WELCOME? –B. Barker. Collier, CA.

A. Of course. Eaton Rapids is a dog-friendly city. Bring your best friends to all outdoor events. But, indoor events, i.e. concerts, dinner, movies, etc. are crowded and best navigated on two legs. You will need to clean up after them.

Q. HOW LONG DOES PARKING TAKE? –C. Rush, Hasten, MO.

A. The goal is to have everyone parked in time for Happy Hour. Last year we were finished in record time! (1:00 pm). You can help by arriving early. BE NICE! Each event has it's own unique set of challenges. Everyone is a volunteer who is trying to make you and everyone else happy.

Q. CAN WE RUN OUR AIR CONDITIONER? --I. Sparks, Edison, NJ

No, You cannot run the heat-pump or air-conditioner. You will trip the circuit breaker leaving your neighbors, and you in the dark. This is low-amperage rally power and it is adequate for all your other needs...unless you brought your arc welder. Sorry, no generators.

Q. WILL THE POWER BE ON AS SOON AS WE PARK? I. Sparks, Edison, NJ

You again? You may have to wait a while for the power to be at your rig. Over a mile of cable connects this event. It takes time. Pause and Reflect. Our best people are working on it.
