There really isn’t much of a comparison between an average 20k travel trailer and an Airstream. Their competition would be mid-level trailers like Northwood and Evergreen. While there top of the line trailers compete with new Class A’s like Fleetwood and Newmar. That is where the real debate / comparison should start.

Plywood construction with riveted aluminum – not ideal for cold/hot environments / rivets have to be maintained / aluminum dents easily / they do not treat their plywood so moisture is a big concern / aluminum corrodes so it has to be maintained and its not advised to put stickers on it.

Aerodynamic body / low center of gravity / independent suspension / torsion axles – tows better / saves gas / is more responsive in emergency maneuvers / cannot go off-road / if your tire blows it will likely damage the trailer body.

No basement space / most do not have slid-outs / less storage space inside – you cannot carry as much as you can with other trailers (including generators, extra batteries, washer and dryer, etc), smaller showers as well.

I believe Bushtracker and Elite Caravans are the only companies that are capable of manufacturing DOT certified trailers and exporting them to America.

Riveted aluminum panel construction, aerodynamic design, quality materials, independent suspension and torsion axles, weight distribution, extended lifespan, reputation and resale value.
