Vehicle Trailer Camping - Airstream's Basecamp and Others

[Grasshopper]

Here is Airstream's newly revised last year, entry-level travel trailer - what high-end, small-footprint trailer camping is all about .. the cat's meow --> "The Basecamp"

Summary:
The 2017 Basecamp is slightly more than 16 feet long and 7 feet wide. Fully loaded, the trailer tips the scales at 3,500 pounds. Already well equipped with standard features, but also features optional rooftop solar panels for $1,500, air-conditioning for $950 and a microwave oven for $250. Total retail price as tested with options: $38,550. Not inexpensive, but a solid value.

Now at 72+, If I had $35k to $40k to burn and space to store it (which I don't), YES!

I saw that article earlier today and thought that it was just about a perfect choice for a small unit. Really cool!

Yup, that would look good behind my little red truck.

Certainly looks nice but is high end stuff like that really needed? (Not sure what half the $$ would buy)

Well constructed and pricey of course, but well thought out. My biggest complaint would be all the window space. I like privacy, so that wouldn't work for me. That and the reflectivity issue with all the shiny surfaces.

A six-pack of camo paint cans and some camo appliques on the windows could work wonders for you on that.

Don't worry Randy, after a year of use and not getting washed, it won't shine anymore...

You know me well Jack. The RAV is still proudly wearing the mud I picked up along the Canadian River in New Mexico around Labor Day.
