Airstream Basecamp

Top of the Day, Y'all! I've been lurking for a couple of months now and have really learned a lot from the "experts"! I ran across this on the internet...the Airstream Basecamp. It resembles a Camp-Inn 560 to me. Kind of expensive, though!!! Here are some links:

I'll introduce myself in the correct section.

Hi and welcome, I noticed that this your first post.

We've discussed this trailer before. Most don't like the sterile look on the inside, however I kinda like it. Especially since it is like a mini toy hauler. We all agree that the price is way too high.

I still am scratching my head on their weights too. A fully optioned 560 comes in about 1,200-1,300lb empty and I really don't expect a loaded one to go much over 1,500lb. Their posted weight must be loaded with a big 4 wheeler in it also. That might make some sense then.

And yes, we don't understand the pricing on the unit either. Their starting price without any options is about what a 560 with everything on it goes for. And the basic unit lacks alot of necessities like storage cabinets and it has a galley that borders on nonexistant, even though it is a cool design.

I have to agree with Rocky, the toy hauler approach is pretty slick though and my hats off to them for that.
