Airstream Question

I notice there aren't many topics out there about Airstreams compared to other travel trailers. I assume becuae they are priced pretty high.

Looking (thinking about it) to buy a 10-15 year old Airstream (any one know of one ? :) ), but I'm not sure if it is worth the price even at used. Opinions?

Are there other tt's that last as long? Thanks in advance.

Here's a picture of a "Pre-owned" Airstream with a slide:

The pic came from this site. Really great Hi-Q pictures and description that anyone with curiosity or interest will enjoy.

They do pull through the air slightly easier and are often pulled by lighter tow vehicles than other TT's. Air is 80% of the battle on level highways, weight not so much. The Airstream shape resists frontal wind as well as wind from the sides. The curved top-edge sides actually help forward movement too, according to a van trucking efficiency study I once read. Most TT's have flat sides although they may be curved at the front and back. The downside to curves is interior cabinet space is restricted by the non-square backwall.
