Saw the new Airstream Basecamp at the Pomona CA RV show:

Also just got an email regarding the Bowlus Road Chief:

So if you need very light weight and low drag, here are at least two ideas.

Clickey!

This one is an old-school design, from back in the 1940's or so. Talk about a "retro" look! Wonder what one of those 10 year only RV parks would say if someone pulled in with one of these new puppies! I like it! Glad to see it coming back. Hope it's successful.

The web page calls it "futuristic". Funny, how it was futuristic in 1935, but somehow lost it's appeal. Wonder if it's still really "futuristic". It just goes to show you, hang on to your old stuff, eventually it will be popular again!

Edit: A little Google Searching: How about a 1935 Bowlus Road Chief:

Non issue with the side door. the tables only block the rear door.

Not really liking the Airstream - having to deal with those tables everytime you want to get in or out of the trailer would be a pain. The Bowlus is nice, but it costs more than my house... 😉
