So... clean Avions (or any Avions built after '79) have been tough to find. Maybe it's the time of the year, but we've really been struggling to find anything decent within 1000 miles for the past 3 months.
We have recently been turned on to Outdoors RV, specifically the Creek Side 20FQ. They don't have the sleek interior design of an Airstream, but they really feel well-built, and a lot of the models have BIG windows.
We love Airstream's interior, but the ground clearance is an issue for us, the minimal insulation is an issue for us, and the small holding tanks are less than ideal. Maybe it's sour grapes that I can't afford one? Maybe it's me realizing that looks are great, but I need more than just a pretty trailer.
These Outdoors RV brands look fantastic. Incredible insulation, custom frame for each model, well-built, and the model we're looking at has great windows with skylights.
Now, if price were no object, I might go for the Airstream purely for interior look & feel (there's a "feeling" of being in an Airstream with all those open windows). But money is an object, and I've been impressed with the Outdoors RV line, and I think it could serve me very well.
I still wish I could see an Oliver, Bigfoot, or lil snoozy in person, but we don't have many out here in the west to check out. I have a lot of respect for those fiberglass trailers, they seem fantastic.
