It’s one of the most iconic leisure vehicles on TV and now you can spend a night in an Airstream trailer just like Dr Derek Shepherd’s in Grey’s Anatomy.
To coincide with new episodes of the medical drama hitting our screens, Camplify has made The Silver Whales Airstream available to rent on its platform.
Ready to be hired from its home in Whitstable, the vehicle sleeps four and is advertised as pet friendly for anyone looking to take their pooch on holiday with them.
In Grey’s Anatomy, Dr Shepherd, or McDreamy as he was affectionately known, lived in the trailer up until the fifth season.
Even after the fictional surgeon moved out of the Airstream, it continued to appear in the series, as several other characters lived in it at various times.
The Silver Whales Airstream comes complete with a fixed king-sized bed and pull-out double, a fully-equipped kitchen, an inside wet room and an outside shower.
Other amenities include a BBQ, solar panels, outside furniture, heating, plates and cutlery. Linen is also provided.
Rental is priced at £225 a night, with a minimum period of two days and delivery anywhere within 200 miles of Whitstable.
It’s a genuine vintage Airstream model having been built in 1974 and therefore celebrating its 50th birthday this year.
Over the years, Airstreams have become iconic within American culture, with the likes of Tom Hanks, Matthew McConaughey and Brad Pitt all fans of the silver-hued vehicles.
After growing accustomed to filming inside the trailer on the Grey’s Anatomy set, Patrick Dempsey, who played Dr Shepherd, had one installed at his Malibu mansion.
Flavia Robles Lorente, country marketing manager at Camplify UK, said: “We love helping holidaymakers experience some of the most exciting and unique accommodation, and the Silver Whales Airstream is no different.
“Fans of Grey’s Anatomy will recognise it instantly, and those not familiar will soon fall in love with the experience it offers.”
Camplify is one of the biggest campervan and motorhome sharing communities in the world, having started in Australia in 2015 and since expanded to other locations.
Its ambition is to make vanlife accessible to all and is a great way to give first timers a taste of the lifestyle before committing to buy their own leisure vehicle.
Camplify has helped van lovers across the UK enjoy more than 100,000 nights away from home and over 2,000 owners list their vehicles on the platform.
