It just seems that the layout and fittings in the European models are a lot more stylish than those available in the US. Are these manufactured in the US or overseas and if manufactured here in the US, is it possible to purchase them here with the same layouts, fittings etc ?
Any info would help. |
The Euro models have surge brakes, and no tongue weight to speak of. They're designed for hauling with tiny SUV's. Or cars. The axles are in different positions. The trailering speed limit in Europe is 80 or 100km/h as far as I know. Their tires are smaller etc.etc. Their toilets are cassette types, sort of like a toilet with a blue boy under it. Not necessarily desirable for use in US.
If the design is what intrigues you, buying a shell from Airstream and having an interior custom built will get you there for probably less cost, and with the US standard already considered. The appliances you see in the Euro units can be bought here.
