Airstream Basecamp 20X
Specifications 

Basecamp 20X is Airstream’s first step into the off-road market. It offers all-aluminum tradition with great choice features for gear-hauling nature lowers...

               Certainly, the line of Basecamp 20X (and 16X) travel trailers is a clear departure from Airstream’s traditional, streamlined designs. But not only it doesn’t miss much from iconic predecessors, but it rather adds a touch of elegance to otherwise rugged off-road designs....

Closing notes:

1. Certainly, the line of Basecamp 16X and 20X travel trailers is a clear departure from Airstream’s traditional, streamlined designs. But not only it doesn’t miss much from iconic predecessors, but it rather adds a touch of elegance. I wouldn’t mention here the aluminum-finished interior. For some, it may not be a favorite finish, but it’s part of the package coming with every Airstream trailer....
2. It’s worth mentioning that Basecamp 20X received the highest TRA Certification Rating (Green) for its energy efficiency and eco-friendliness.
3. Like all Airstream campers, it brings along a well-recognized name, good reputation, and coming with it durability. Unfortunately, these attributes do not come for free. Pricewise, the Basecamp 20X stays in the upper range of similar class travel trailers!
