The colors of the sky are reflected in the shiny sided Airstream. I love this picture because it shows how close the outdoors are when you are traveling in an RV. You are much more aware of the sky and the wildlife. The focus in an RV is outward.
This is the First Lady’s Airstream Trailer so that she may travel in style, even when she is going to foreign locales like Iraq. No traveling with the troops for Mrs. Bush. In her Airstream cocoon, she could be flying anywhere.
The Design Within Reason (DWR) Airstream is16 feet, 7 inches in length and weighs . Although compact, the efficiency of design is simple, yet incredibly functional. The exterior features Airstream’s famously sleek aluminum skin design and custom pull-out awning.
The interior incorporates a new design sensibility, unique materials, and modern classic furnishings — Hellerware indoor/outdoor dinnerware, a Nelson Ball clock, British designer Tom Dixon’s coat rack, and luxurious bedding from Matteo.
UBW (UNIT BASE WEIGHT) 3050 pounds
HITCH WEIGHT 430 pounds
NCC (NET CARRYING CAPACITY) GVWR MINUS UBW 1250 pounds

These are the cutest trailers I’ve seen. Airstreams have been around forever it seems :) We travel by Harley, camping out. This looks like luxury to me :)

@Janet-If I win the lottery, I would probably buy one. Our trailer is a 1984 Prowler that has been through a Texas hail storm. We cannot take it to some RV parks, LOL I love to travel though. We have been stuck at home lately, but this Fall I have some trips planned. I am jealous, I would love to have a motorcycle. I have a 1987 Hondo scooter, but it is not a road bike. Thanks for stopping by.

I was out doing research on different Airstream designs and found this article. Great pictures, and very interesting to hear that Mrs. Bush travels in an Airstream! My company designs and builds a number of custom rv mattresses, including several for Airstreams!
