The Airstream is a great brand and they do set the benchmark. The reality is; I can’t go out and buy a 2018 Airstream 28’ TT with a 3’ slide out and tow with my 2007 Tundra CrewMax for $28K. I can’t have 28’ Airstream with dry weight of 6,400, a wet weight of 8,100 and a DW toung weight of 650 lb.
I don’t take away anything from Airstream, they are nice. The problem I have is a tiny-tiny Airstream unit can cost thousands more than than my 28’ which I simply can’t swallow. I’ve asked at the camp sites and this is reality.
