Evening All,
Nicky and I have been intrigued for some time by the whole Airstream-thing so today we visited one of the four UK dealers to see the three main vans in the flesh.
We were really impressed by their unique looks but the van which caught our eye was the twin axle Colorado which incidentally is the biggest of the international range, (6.81m long, internally, with a total external length of 8.25m).
Unlike the two or three hundred motorhomes and caravans which we saw on the A1 today, Nic and I have only ever seen one Airstream on the road in the past few years so we like the uniqueness which comes with the brand. (The UK dealer network sell about 10 units per year collectively).
May I ask if any fine Funster has knowledge of Airstreams in terms of usability (UK and Europe), quality and any other points, good or bad.
One thing I didn't know is that the Airstream shell is built in the US while the internal bits (electronics, fridge, pipes, gas systems) are all fitted in the UK by Swift.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
All the best,
Andrew
