I have toured the factory and worked on many Airstreams.
I Have owned two and my dad had several.
I think they are as well made as they have ever been. There were a few years when management was in turmoil. esp when Beatrice Foods owned them 1967-79.
The Thor ownership has been great compared to Beatrice.
Pre 99 had some clear coat issues but you can always buff them out.
After 98 (or so) they went to a widebody so more room.
The had slide models from early 2000 thru 2009.
I have noticed that people that put them down have never had one.
I think they have enough storage. I carry a ton of stuff in my DP that I really dont need. I carry it because I can.
We plan on going back to an Airstream one day.
Airstreams are pricey new but you can get a lot of value used.
They sell all they make so they must know something about pricing.
Shop for a clean early 2000 for around $20k- $25.
