Featuring a 16-foot length and set to launch next year, the Airstream 'Nest' is a fiberglass and aluminum trailer that's designed to offer essential amenities in a compact, lightweight design. Weighing around 2,400 pounds, the Airstream 'Nest' is capable of being towed by compact vehicles like smaller pickups and crossovers. This allows the market for those who want to get involved with trailer camping to do so without having a supplementary vehicle to do so.
The Airstream 'Nest' fiberglass and aluminum trailer pinpoints that while some believed the road trip to be a pastime of the past, it's still alive and well today. The low-cost of fuel could help to drive (literally) the number of families hitting the road this summer, so the sale of trailers could see an increase.
