Airstream Basecamp

The Basecamp Travel Trailer was made for those who want to see the world. Built for adventure, it’s a small camping trailer that’s tough enough to go anywhere your wanderlust takes you, and comfortable enough to help you really enjoy the time you spend there. Pack up and go anywhere you please, with nothing holding you back. The definition of get-up-and-go, Basecamp is ready for anything and tough enough to go off-road or off-grid whenever you’re up for it. When people think Airstream, they think aluminium. This soft, non-magnetic, and beautiful silver metal is lightweight, durable, flexible, and it forms the exterior and interior walls of the Basecamp. Although Basecamp looks a little different from other Airstream travel trailers, it still has the same commitment to quality built-in. Every inch, every curve, and every material is considered and planned out for the best travel experience possible. The Basecamp aluminium shell is built by hand, piece by piece, and riveted to the all-aluminium frame for maximum strength and aerodynamic shape. Because the shell is completely made from aluminium it will never rust or rot. 

At just over 16 feet, Basecamp’s size makes it one of the most lightweight and easy-to-tow Airstream travel trailers to ever be manufactured. The compact, lightweight design means the Basecamp is ultra-towable. With a base weight of just 1195kg and maximum trailer capacity (GVWR) of 1587kg, it can easily trail behind a long list of the most common SUVs on the market.

During the initial design stages, the Airstream design team emphasized ensuring that the end product was something towable by the vehicles many people already own. From the popular family SUV to the best-selling half-ton pickup class (Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, etc.), Basecamp was intentionally designed to be universally towable without needing to go out and buy a new tow vehicle.
