Proving Ground Torture Test
Proving ground torture test - goducks10ExplorerI bet it would do very well. A 21' Airstream is way more than $45K. Last I read AS is working OT to keep up with demand. It would probably cost more here though since all the good stuff in/on it would need to be imported. And switching the door to the other side would be an issue with design.

Never been enamored with 'slides' anyway. Never had a unit with them. I look at slides as one, a source of leakage and two, just another mechanically operated low buck build thing to fail at some point, probably at the worst time.
A Jurgens 21’ caravan starts at 62,000 $Aus., about 45,000 $US. Don’t think that would do well over here. Don’t get me wrong, I really like the look of those interiors.
Without maintenance, I bet they will eventually leak just like any other camper.
For the extra 30k, I could have the best appliances.
The biggest thing though, the door is still on the wrong side. - lots2seeinmyrvExplorerLove it. No slides. Like that kitchen table and the layout.
