There are rental places in the US to figure out if it is for you.
B's are tight, but the pay off is ease of driving ( she has done solo trips), MPG and parking.
in terms of that specific unit- the "airstream" name was used on alot of stuff over the years- not all of it as wonderful as the retro trailers-
I'm not big on the ford having rented the 15 pass vans for work...I bought a GM based B as I am more familiar with GM's and I do alot of my own work- just easier for me.
