I know Airstreams have been around for a long time and have many loyal customers. But what is so special about them that helps them hold their resale value and their initial sales price when compared to other trailers of similar size other than just outside looks. Surely there are some outstanding engineering or construction factors in addition to their classic design that are responsible for their ongoing high values. Comments of experienced owners would be welcomed.

The way they pull and hold the road. Few if any leaks. Quality materials and construction. Quality control. Ease of maintenance. Proven design.

1) They're sexy to look at, but the floors rot out a lot!2) No real storage to speak of.3) Status appeal4) For years it was an Airstream or a cheapo.5) $50,000 and you're getting a "wet bath"6) They've achieved a "cult American status"I'm not knocking the brand or anything, it's just my opinion

if you're ever in or near Jackson Center Ohio stop and visit the factory I'm pretty sure the tours are at 2 p.m. Real quality there ......however they are overpriced but people do pay it:W

They used to be top quality inside and out. Now they're made with all the same cheap junk (wall board material, counter tops, cabinets, etc) as all the other brands. Take a look at one and you'll see it looks just like any other brand inside. Talk to any place that sells used trailers and they'll tell you they leak just like the rest of them.My buddy didn't believe it until he talked to a couple of dealers.No longer worth the high price IMO.
