Airstream Feted by European Magazine
Friday, March 7, 2008

Airstream RVThe European version of the iconic Airstream travel trailer has racked up two awards since being introduced to the retail market last August.

The 27-foot Airstream 684 recently was named "Best Import" by the German Caravan magazine, and in late February garnered the "Best Caravan Award" among 15 entries from the 1 million-plus Caravan Club, which operates 3,000 campsites in the United Kingdom.

"It’s unique for the European market," said Stuart Hicks, managing director of Airstream Europe Ltd., Penrith, United Kingdom. "The majority of the caravans (RVs) here are white boxes and don’t look much different from each other. And Airstream provides some real authenticity."

 
   
 

The 7 1/2-foot-wide European Airstream is "nowhere near comparable" to its U.S. counterpart, Hicks said. "They look like a U.S. Airstream but it’s very much different what's inside them."

For instance, European Airstreams are equipped with lightweight German furniture and are heated with a central radiator system made in Sweden.

Airstream Europe sends lightweight German-made chassis to Airstream Inc.’s factory in Jackson Center, Ohio, which assembles the unit’s aluminum shell. The trailer is then returned to the United Kingdom where it is outfitted to meet British and European standards. "It takes a great deal of effort," Hicks said.

The European Airstream, with a base price that tops $90,000 (U.S.), is being sold by dealerships in Penrith, Mengerskirchen, Germany and Gouda, Holland.

Author's Notes: Just to let you know how much of an impact my RV Comparison Guides have had, the folks at RV Trader decided to promote my guides in their magazine on a NATIONAL SCALE for FREE. They felt the content was so desperately needed in the industry today. You can't buy that kind of advertising and it proves how valuable my guides have become for RV buyers considering a motorhome, fifth wheel, travel trailer or toy hauler!

I thought your book was magnificent! My wife and I are in the early stages of searching for an RV travel trailer. We want to do some serious traveling and see as much of the United States as possible. Your RV Comparison Guide and rating charts helped us select the right RV manufacturer. The RV Appraisal was a big help, knowing the wholesale price is a big advantage during the negotiation process. Thanks so much!
