Step it up folks

At Organ Pipe, I saw this really nice Hallmark with an Airstream Basecamp combo. Looks high style, but a good idea.

My sister is looking into one of those airstream and I told her I'd be happy to tow it for her...

At $40K, I gave it a good look, but my brain prevailed. It is one heck of a camper. jd

For $40 large I’d rather have a Oliver.

The Lady loved the looks of the Airstream Basecamp when she saw a photo and video. We even traveled down to the dealer in the Bay Area when they got one in the showroom. In person, it did not excite either of us. The asking price made us think there must be a mistake on the window sticker. For the little more money, the Airstream Bambi is a much more comfortable trailer and a similar footprint.

If we ever go the trailer route, fiberglass is calling to us.

Trailer definitely has advantages, notably being able to detach and leave base camp in situ.
But then again, I would hate to find myself at the wrong end of a dead end road pulling one.

If they made one a bit larger, I'd say the same. I wish Northern Lite would put one into production.

We had the use of a 25 foot airstream in beautiful condition. Now we just have an 8' hallmark on back of our pickup and couldn't be happier. I do know what people see in airstreams, though. They're great places to hang out. Unfortunately, they don't get you here:

I've used these two options when I needed a little extra room for family camping - a 14 ft Shasta or a 9 ft teardrop. Each one was done for less than $3K but neither one has a bathroom like the Basecamp. It's a different kind of style.
