About AIR GEAR

We're a small, Tucson-based business founded by experienced Airstreamers

We design and curate top quality maintenance, safety, and upgrade solutions for Airstream and other brand RVs

Our mission is to make the RV travel experience awesome by helping people travel safer and smarter

  • Our products address the unique needs of Airstream and other brand RV owners. 
  • Everything we sell we test and use in our own Airstream. 
  • We design many of our own products. We're the leading seller of teak shower mats for Airstreams and we developed the first tire changing kit for Airstream travel trailers. We designed our own Portable Solar Kit, Compartment Lock Upgrade for Airstreams, Sun Shade, and a line of DIY kits and gear organization bags. We are also the world's only retailer that stocks 200+ spare keys for Airstream entry doors.

Our products and recommendations are based on first-hand experience

Co-owner Rich Luhr is a nationally-known expert who has been Airstreaming for nearly 20 years, three of them full-time. Rich is the author of the Newbie's Guide to Airstreaming and The (Nearly) Complete Guide to Airstream Maintenance. He has restored Airstream trailers and managed 27 major Airstream events such as Alumapalooza. 

Rich is also the publisher of Airstream Life magazine. 

We're contributors to the community

Our mission is to help people enjoy the Airstream and RV life by traveling safer and smarter. We are authors, educators, Airstream Club International members, and active contributors to the Airstream and RV community.

Our blogs, guides, and videos to give people practical guidance from the lessons we’ve learned.

Our content is credible and accurate

We are educators and business owners–not entertainers or influencers–which means we place a high value on providing accurate information and advice.

Our articles, videos, guides, and checklists are based on research, facts, manufacturer's manuals, and primary source documentation. Our co-founders have both been writing how-to books, blogs, articles, and guides for more than 25 years, and believe in the importance of fact checking. 


Until October 1, 2022, AIR GEAR was known as the Airstream Life Store.

The owners are the same–only the name has changed.  Â
