I was driving behind a truck with what looked like a horse trailer only to find out it was a new Airstream. Fancy looking horse trailer, no it is for people.

Now I did find that the roof height is too low for me, but I did find a one step up trailer. It would even fit in my garage, with modification to the garage door.

Design within Reach.


Anybody have one?

My parents owned one many years ago, they loved it...all the walls and ceiling were wood. There is some pretty cool history behind them if you check into it.

Air Stream used to be built in Benton Harbor, Michigan which is 20 miles from here. They were cool then and still are. They were always a step ahead of the competion.

There nice but a bit pricey, plus only the biggest model comes with a slide out.

I just brought this 28 foot Four Winds home last night. It has a long slide out on the drivers side, giving us a lot of room inside.

Airstreams are cool IMHO. They hold up well too. I have some friends back home that have one from 1963 thats still in great shape and its stored outside.

They are a bit pricey.

I'm looking for something that 1. I fit into. 2. That fits in my Garage. 3. That can be towed behind a Marauder or Lightning.

But at these prices I have to wonder if I shouldn't get a Class A with a trailer for the Marauder and or Lightning.

I guess it depends how you want to use it.

They are very wll built and last 30+ years.

List price increases up to 10% per year.

When you shut the door and sit inside it's like being in a vault.

They tow w/ no sway.

The only prob is they weigh up to double.

My cousin would LOVE IT!

What about a jeep...
