I would do some research first, as you're obviously doing by asking this question. I've read a lot on various forums that the newer ones aren't any better built than most travel trailers and have leak problems. There's also an airstream owners' forum out there that I recall seeing mention of these issues on. And some are saying that no, they aren't worth the price. Sorry I can't provide links, but I was just perusing the topic one day about a month ago. I'm sure you can find more by doing a search or two or three. Have you considered the new Bigfoot trailers? They're also pricey, but not as much, and seem to be better built (once again, based only on what I've read).
