Built upon the [Mercedes-Benz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airstream-interstate-19x) Class B van, the Airstream Interstate offers 50 best-in-class features. These features help make the vehicle feel more like a home, however, the vehicle manages to also cling onto car-like safety, handling, and performance. A limited collection of the Airstream Interstate will also be released, known as the Interstate EXT Slate Edition. This model will feature top-of-the-line luxury and comfort in a design-forward package. The Slate Edition also features modern and sleek textures, two-tone cabinetry, diamond stitch seating, woven flooring, Deep Night Sky Corian countertops, and all-new power ottomans. Airstream is limited the Interstate EXT Slate Edition to just 75 examples.
