Want an authentic vintage camper for your next shoot without renting an actual RV or driving to a far location? FD Photo Studio now has a Vintage RV Camper installed inside the Large Production Studio Yukon 4 that brings classic American road trip vibes into a studio environment you can control.
Picture this: a white-and-teal 1960s Shasta Airflyte camper parked inside a spacious production studio, interior lights glowing warm against birch cabinetry and vintage upholstery. No unpredictable weather. No location permits. No hauling an actual RV through LA traffic. Just pure creative freedom in a controlled environment where you call every shot.
Yukon 4 is a 1,860 square foot blackout photo studio located just 10 minutes away from LAX with a vintage camper parked inside. This isn’t a prop—it’s an authentic 16-foot Shasta Airflyte (20 ft L × 7 ft W × 8 ft H exterior) complete with working interior lights, original jalousie windows, and that unmistakable mid-century road trip aesthetic. The studio wraps around it with 16-foot ceilings, professional lighting gear, and a ceiling-mounted projector that transforms the wall behind the RV into any backdrop you can imagine.
The Shasta Airflyte isn’t just any vintage camper—it’s an icon of American travel trailer design. First introduced in 1941, the Airflyte at Yukon 4 captures that throwback spirit with its distinctive green and white two-tone exterior, rounded “canned ham” profile, and chrome accents.
Inside, you’ll find birch plywood cabinet doors with a shellac finish, original-style jalousie windows, a sitting area that converts to sleeping space, and a dinette table surrounded by green vinyl seating. The interior lighting is working great. Floor tile, counter surfaces, and window draperies complete the period-correct atmosphere.
With 16-foot ceilings, you can mount lights high enough to mimic natural daylight or go completely dark and shoot with strobe lights. The 1,860 square feet of open floor space means your crew has room to work without fighting for elbow room around C-stands.
The ceiling-mounted projector changes everything. The projector is pointed at the wall behind the RV and instantly changes your entire scene. Project desert views for a Joshua Tree road trip vibe, mountain ranges for an adventure theme, or coastal highways for a California dreaming look. You can shoot a sunrise scene, switch to a starry night sky, finish with a golden hour backdrop… all without leaving the studio.
The 6×6 ft Neon Cube gives you an additional creative element for mixed setups or alternate scenes during the same photo studio rental.
Car access through the private drive-in gate means you can bring in vehicles, large props, or bulky equipment without limits.
The makeup and changing room keep talent comfortable and give productions proper prep space.
Standard equipment comes included: three strobe lights, wireless trigger and receiver, light modifiers, three C-stands, black and white flat boards to bounce the light, and more. The studio gives you pro-grade equipment at no additional cost, so you can spend your money on imaginative props rather than equipment rentals.
The RV’s retro interior gives you a real backdrop for vintage-style fashion shoots. Think 1960s road trip looks, bohemian travel themes, or classic American-style campaigns. The small interior creates natural frames, while the real details add depth and character to every shot.
Music video makers can build entire stories around the classic road trip theme. The RV works great for indie folk, country, or nostalgic pop styles. Creators can use it for travel brands, outdoor gear manufacturers, or lifestyle items with themes of freedom and adventure.
The RV’s comfortable, storytelling environment is ideal for couples, families, or lone portrait subjects. The space naturally brings out candid moments and real expressions, making it great for family sessions or personal brand content.

No 7 am rental pickup. No driving a 25-foot vehicle through rush hour. No hoping your scouted location is still available. You arrive at the studio, punch in your studio door code, and you’re shooting in ten minutes.
Outdoor RV shoots depend completely on the weather. Rain, harsh sunlight, or unexpected clouds can ruin your carefully planned shoot. Inside studio Yukon 4, you control every part of the environment.
The studio comes with three flash units, wireless triggers, light modifiers, and even a large movable scrim for soft, diffused light. You can also rent RGB lights, spotlight attachments with gobo masks for creative effects, or the large video lights. Those 16-foot ceilings let you mount lights high for beautiful, natural-looking illumination.

Shooting an RV on location often needs permits, especially in Los Angeles. Popular scenic locations charge fees, limit shooting hours, or don’t allow commercial photography. At studio Yukon 4, you simply rent the studio and shoot without worrying about rangers, permits, or location access.
The studio offers gated parking for up to two cars, along with a drive-in gate that allows vehicles to pull directly into the studio for easy unloading.
Yukon 4 works as a self-check-in studio, giving you privacy and uninterrupted creative time. The studio is located at 12828 Yukon Ave in the city of Hawthorne, just 10 minutes away from LAX.
Hourly rate starts at $44.99 with package deals for longer photo or video production hours. The 4, 8, or 12-hour discounted packages can be split across multiple bookings, letting you use 2 hours today, 1 hour tomorrow, and save the rest for future projects. Hours never expire, giving you maximum flexibility for your creative schedule.
