According to Architectural Digest, the trailer has a living area, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a toilet and shower area.

McConaughey loves his Airstream so much that he even once dreamed about owning a whole bunch of them.
“One day I’ll have either an Airstream hotel or an Airstream compound,” he told Architectural Digest. “I don’t know where it’ll be yet, but the thing about Airstreams is you feel a little bad for ’em if you got ’em parked too long and the axles aren’t spinning, you know, because they’re built for the road.”
