Back to the Lava Lamp Airstream today and a closer look at the lighting. As previously mentioned, the whole design is based on the inside of the Lava Lamp and there’s one recessed into the wall between the kitchen and the rear seating area:
Running along the ceiling is a panel fitted with hundreds of twinkling ‘stars’
There are also some LEDs positioned around the main seating area
Different lamps and spotlights are positioned throughout to illuminate the bathroom and the various cocktail making surfaces:
The mood lighting can be controlled by remote control with a round controller to alter the colour, the speed of the twinkling and flashing and the brightness of the lights in different areas. In combination with the surround sound stereo system and various gadgets such as the wine cooler and popcorn machine this Airstream has been a very interesting job for our electrician Terry who originally learned his trade as a helicopter electrician for the Royal Navy.

This is Terry the American Retro caravans electrician. He has been working for the company since it started and has known Darren for years. Terry does all the electrical jobs on the caravans and really enjoys the work as the Airstreams are something different from the norm. He gets to work with several different types of power supply and he finds the work very interesting.
“You get to do things in these caravans that you don’t do in normal household electrics….my favourite part of the job is when they’re finished and we can switch it all on and see it working.”
Before coming to work at ARC, Terry was in the Royal Navy for 24 years working mainly on helicopters. He is fully qualified to carry out all types of electrical installations in portable commercial or domestic units and is registered with Elexa. His favourite colour is green.
