Trade Wind’s off-grid ability is made possible by an internally stored 810Ah heated lithium battery bank, ensuring you have the power you need when you need it. Topped with 600W rooftop solar panels and a 3000W inverter, the new Airstream trailer allows you to charge your devices, operate onboard power points and appliances directly from its battery. It can even run the air conditioner and convection microwave simultaneously.

The Trade Wind boasts a recirculating water heater to conserve water from its 39-gallon fresh water tank, further extending your off-grid adventures.

The space left vacant by the table can even double as storage for your fishing poles, paddleboards, or a kayak.

Capable of sleeping up to five people, Trade Wind travel trailer offers an option for a pair of twin beds instead of the queen option while rear and roadside awnings add shade and style to the outdoor space. The trailer features an optional rear hatch door with a sliding screen to ensure convenience and extended living. So, when you arrive at your destination, open the hatch, pull down the screen, and enjoy al fresco dining with incredible views while keeping pesky bugs at bay.

According to Airstream president and CEO Bob Wheeler, in a time of unprecedented growth in outdoor recreation, there is an urgent need to conserve and safeguard the beautiful outdoor spaces we cherish. Recognizing this, two iconic outdoor brands, REI and Airstream, have joined forces yet again to cater to the needs of environmentally-conscious adventurers seeking longer and more sustainable outdoor stays.

Last year, these two brands made headlines with their first-ever special-edition, off-road camper trailer based on Airstream’s 16-foot platform. Taking ahead from the success of their initial venture, the two are now launching the REI x Airstream Special Edition Basecamp 20X, a larger and more robust travel trailer with upgraded features apt for adventures beyond civilization.

Designer: REI and Airstream

Beyond the size, the Basecamp 20X has a great commitment to sustainability. The trailer incorporates post-consumer recycled materials into its fabrics and laminates, while the cabinetry is constructed using sustainable wood. By prioritizing eco-friendly materials and design, REI and Airstream demonstrate their dedication to preserving the natural beauty that inspires greener adventures and mindful travel.

The Basecamp 20X trailer maintains a manageable 3,500-pound base weight, making it easy to tow and maneuver, while its spacious interior opens up a world of possibilities. For instance, its convertible front dinette can transform into a lounge section post-dining after a long day of exploration. A separate sleeping area provides comfortable and efficient use of space.

The three-in-one wet bath complete with a composting toilet and an outdoor shower is located across the galley boasting green slate countertops with birch plywood, adding a touch of elegance to the wide interior. For camping in the terrains unthreaded, enthusiasts get a 360W solar system paired with dual 100Ah lithium batteries to take care of the power needs in off-grid locations.

Additionally, onboard you have a water purification system with a recirculating water heater, larger tanks for fresh and gray water. And for those seeking adventure with their gear, the Basecamp 20X offers an L-rack storage system, which allows you to securely transport bikes, snowboards, skis, and any other outdoor equipment essential to your excursions. It also includes a three-inch lift kit for additional clearance on rough roads and stainless-steel front stone guards for additional safety.

Porsche designs Airstream travel trailer that’s more aerodynamic, has lower suspension and a pop-up roof

Posted on by

Airstream is distinguishable by its finest aluminum travel trailers. Remaining true to its design DNA and to align with the altering RV landscape, Airstream and Studio F.A. Porsche have together designed an Airstream coach with refined aerodynamics, a pop-up roof for increased headroom, and a lowered suspension to permit city dwellers to park the RV in their residential garages.

Airstream has been an innovative RV manufacturer, but this Porsche-designed next-gen Airstream trailer is far from what the former has managed through the years. A result of “what if” collaboration between the two design stalwarts, the concept may be starkly different but it deviates ever so little from Airstream’s signature riveted aluminum look.

Designer: Airstream x Porsche

Fashioned ideally in photorealistic renderings, a 1/3 scale model of the aerodynamically envisioned Airstream of the future is available on display at the ongoing South by Southwest Conference and Festival in Austin, TX. The airstream features an aerodynamic shape with the front improved for airflow, while its flush underside design ensures reduced drag-creating projection.

A first-of-its-type Airstream trailer with a lowered suspension, this Porsche design is more optimized for towing with electric vehicles. The design allows several things to be tucked into the 10-inch space below that trailer’s floor. So, you get water tanks, heating components, spare wheel, and Lithium-ion battery all tucked in there to save you space onboard.

Onboard, the pop-up roof creates more headroom when camped and the rear seating area can quickly transform into working or dining space. It can also be converted into an 82″ x 61″ sleeping area for when the night falls. This versatile living area can be opened into the outdoors with the rear openable hatch, that with attached awnings, create a shady space to relax or plan the next adventure.

Within the luxuriously designed trailer is a wet bathroom featuring a swing door that hides the toilet within. The galley has a hinged-up counter that extends up to the main entrance, creating a sizable L-shaped workspace akin to most spacious travel trailers. With its wholesome design and provision to integrate rooftop solar panels, the battery-equipped Porsche x Airstream travel trailer is ideal for adventures within the city limits and off the grid.

Airstream’s self-propelled trailer and luxe motorhome concepts could soon be a reality

Posted on by



Airstream is finally going electric with its two newly announced EV concepts namely eStream and Thor Vision Vehicle. The eStream trailer developed in close quarters with European subsidiary Erwin Hymer Group and tech company ZF, addresses the lingering issue with most campers and RVs – that being – the need for extra power which in turn limits the range of towing vehicles.

Whether the eStream is hooked onto a pure electric vehicle like the Tesla Model 3 or the hybrid Ford Escape – the trailer by Thor Industries (Airstream’s parent company) is not just dead weight. This is done with the dual independent motors and the two onboard lithium-ion battery packs. The Thor’s advanced electrical architecture brings to the fore regenerative braking energy as the motors can be used to apply torque to the wheels in both directions.




One thing is to keep in mind here, the eStream weighs more than traditional trailers – so, how much electrical power boost is negated has also to be considered. The trailer can be operated remotely too via an app when it’s detached from the towing vehicle. So, you can reposition it on a campsite or alight it for hitching up to a vehicle. The modern travel trailer comes with solar panels for off-grid camping on extended adventures. On the inside, it is loaded with things like voice and touchscreen activated climate and lighting controls.




The other one is the Thor Vision Vehicle which is a Ford Transit-based motorhome EV with a 300-mile range. This recreational vehicle comes with a digital cockpit that’s quite high tech and you have the luxury of extensive tools to find chargers en route to the next destination. On the inside, everything looks upbeat in terms of a comfortable journey on the roads, and a cozy sleep by the nighttime.

For now, the two vehicles are in the concept stage, and whether or not they’ll make it to the production lines is also uncertain. I believe, both these being highly practical and satiating the needs of users will make it to reality one day – of course with a premium price tag presumably. Especially the eStream which brings towing capabilities to vehicles that you would normally not even think of burdening the task with. A game-changing feature for the trailer industry and other related spheres.

Airstream’s Pottery Barn Travel Trailer is here to elevate your outdoor glamping experience!

Posted on by




When Pottery Barn and Airstream join forces to create a travel trailer experience, it is bound to be remarkable. Airstream has long been associated with staycations and camping experiences; however, the pandemic has brought on a wave of wanderlust, and the influx of glamping culture means the humble RV was due for a luxury revamp just about now! Named the Pottery Barn Special Edition Trailer, this design showcases “casual sophistication” and is meant for adventure addicts who fancy the style and luxury of living life king-size. According to Marta Benson, President of Pottery Barn, “We were as excited as our customers to see how we could apply Pottery Barn’s design expertise to Airstream’s live anywhere mentality, and we couldn’t be more excited about the results.”

A study conducted by the RV Industry Association (RVIA) reveals that RV ownership has increased by more than 62 percent in the past two decades. The Pacific Coast Highway inspires this special edition and is based on the Airstream’s 28-foot International model. The trailer is built for couples and solo travelers as it features queen or twin bed sleeping configurations. In addition to that, the airy interior space can accommodate up to 4 guests in the rest of the cabin. The interiors of the travel trailer are draped in Pottery Barn’s matte-black pull-down faucet, a stainless-steel flat apron sink, and solid walnut cutting board sink cover. Pottery Barn influences everywhere, right from the 16-piece Mason Stoneware Dinnerware Set, solid oak dinette table inspired by their Benchwright Dining Collection, to the couch with custom cushions inspired by Pottery Barn’s Big Sur Collection the bedroom’s single queen/two twin beds enveloped in Belgian Flax linens.

On the outside, the Airstream gets an outdoor folding table joined to the exterior and armchair set. It is shaded by the specially designed pull-out awning, making it an ideal spot for evening meals. According to Airstream President and CEO Bob Wheeler, Pottery Barn has an eye for comfortable, functional beauty, and they’ve applied their prowess to the Airstream lifestyle perfectly. The travel trailer weighs 7,600 pounds, so you’ll need to hook it on to a full-size truck or a powerful SUV to tow it around for your road trips. Eager buyers can get the Airstream Pottery Barn Special Edition Travel Trailer at a starting price tag of $145,500 via dealers all across the U.S.
