Dude in my neighborhood picked up what appears to be a somewhat vintage airstream. He was refurbishing the inside when I walked past.
Super cool trailer. Built like an airplane.
As I understand it, a couple of engineers from one of the airplane manufacturers lost or left their jobs and started Airstream and since they knew the aerodynamics and design of planes used that knowledge in the making of those campers. I saw a chart years ago about the co-efficient of trailers and Airstream was slicker then snot out of a hog when it came to slipping through air.
As Pat McManus wife used to say, I prefer several layers between me and the cold hard ground. Preferably several floors of a luxury hotel.
My parents idea of “roughing it” was a hotel with no room service… I only need the size of my tires, my mattress between me and the ground. I don’t do the ground as a sleeping pallet any more. I like my bed and my portable toilet.
