Re: [A/S] basecamp pictures

["James Clark" <jec1938@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The interest in the Basecamp concept is not surprising given the large 
"tent camper" market that wants something more than a tent and less 
than a full trailer and the obvious towing limitations of the small 
car market... 

The large unique shaped "dark-plastic" window is a surprise and I am 
betting it will not be inexpensive to replace... I think Airstream had 
better get to work on a stainless "wrapper" that can be raised or 
lowered to cover the plastic while in transit... I noticed, in the 
picture, what seemed to be a rail above an below the "window" (wonder 
if that is style or functional)

This size can probably be pulled by sports cars, compacts, vans, and a 
host of folks that are nervous about the full size trailer, even the 
Bambi....It will be interesting to see if buyers are there for the 
combo tent, trailer or will be willing to be "sold up" to the Bambi... 
Hopefully they will not be Burro or Casita prospects...

After three Airstreams, I know that perfect for me is not the same for 
everyone, but a 25' with a permanent bed, airconditioning, shower, 
full kitchen, full almost everything is very close...I doubt that 
anyone with one of those for sale will want for prospects..If your new 
Corvette is your only car, you might not agree...

I look forward to seeing one in a park some day and talking to the 
people that are enjoying it..
