Thanks Patrick 😊 excellent presentation!!!!!! They should put a fold down sink in the bathroom - I personally don’t like to wash up in the kitchen sink. Has anyone ever suggested that?
@@colonialairstream Talking about the sink, how big is it? It's not listed in the specifications on the website. Also, question about the solar option, 100 watts seems insufficient for a trailer of this size, I was expecting in the 200 to 400 watts range. Is this a limitation of the available surface area on the roof?

Airstream should partner with luxury car brands and do premium models (not just color schemes), using luxury materials for a couple of models of their trailers. Like exotic woods and leather, and different options like the luxury cars. Could charge $200K and more.
That's an interesting idea! A partnership with a luxury car brand could indeed produce some unique and high-end Airstream models. However, it's always important to keep in mind Airstream's focus on quality and design, regardless of price point. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and happy camping! 🚐🌟

@@jamil8lila And I think $65K is way pricey for a 16ft. trailer built with plywood, vinyl, and laminates. The exterior is iconic and still uses real metal, but they used to be a luxury brand.
Joe, the MSRP of a 2019 Airstream Sport Bambi 16RB was $51,484.00 with the solar package and destination. The price increase was a little over $3,000.00 each model year and there were many product upgrades and enhancements.

@@colonialairstream True. The exterior design and materials have remained iconic. But, the interior materials are sub par for the premium price tag. VW materials with a Rolls Royce price.

They keep going up because people keep buying them at that price. There will be better options and more competition for Airstream in the near future.

You could tow this with an SUV if the GVWR is 3500 lbs. This trailer tempts me so much.
