I think it's a Thor product. Thor own Airstream. Not sure it makes them relative.
It's a Star Stream
Actually I checked the Thor website and it doesn't seem that they own that brand. Though they have/had Tabs that looks the same as this one and it doesn't appear on Thor website so I don't know.

Ugly, isn't it? Star Stream 2008 Expandables and Travel Trailers
Owned by Starcraft ... we spent our honeymoon in a Starcraft popup, so it's been around a while. I'm not googling an immediate link with Thor -- think it could belong to the WBCCI if they were connected. Sorry, couldn't resist a jab at the IBT.

John and I went inside one of these at an RV show. Airstream wasnt even onsite, just a bunch of SOB's. I cant remember who made it but it wasn't Airstream. Not unless they have adopted it very recent. It was in May when we went.

The Starstream trailers were new for Starcraft in 2007. Starcraft is owned by Jayco. No connection with Thor.

I have been in one of the Star Streams and it is pretty much layed out like an airstream on the inside with front dinette, rear corner bath, and bed with optonal bunk above the bed.

Star Craft originally made farm tanks. They did make boats sarting way back (1920's ?). They started making pop-ups in the 60's.

I saw several Star Stream models at an RV dealer not too long ago.... they're kind of cool... but certainly not Airstream cool. And yes, they are made by Starcraft.

We met one headed south on I-75 Saturday after Thanksgiving. My wife asked if it was another Airstream wannabe. I told her, "Yes".
There was a test trip in Trailer Life recently of a model that had the bed in the front with rear entry. The cover story was about Roswell, NM and Area 54 (?) and pictured part of the Star Stream with a green glow in the cover shot. It received a positive review (have you ever seen a negative one in TL?). But I kept thinking it was a cheap imitation and wouldn't hold up while I read the article. My most interesting thoughts were who the celebrity campers mentioned to be in the next site might have been.

Actually Starscream is the Decepticon Air Commander who transforms into an F15 fighter jet.
Technical specs:
Seeks to replace Megatron as leader. Ruthless, cold-blooded, cruel... considers himself the most sophisticated and handsome of Decepticons. Believes Decepticons should rely more on guile and speed rather than brute force to defeat Autobots. Fastest flyer of group, can reach Mach 2.8 and an altitude of 52 miles. Shoots cluster bombs and null-rays which disrupts the flow of electricity. Very good at what he does, but sometimes overrates himself.
Here he is:
What? Star Stream? That's very different ... nevermind.

Stopped at a dealership on I-20 outside of Abilene, TX last month to look at a used Airstream they had on their lot. As I was walking away the salesman wanted me to look at, "one of these Starstreams - just like an Airstream." I walked even faster.

We were camped across the road from one of these this past weekend...they are interesting to look at, and probably have some features that are nicer than other boxes and perhaps set them apart from the exspected, but I think if it had been a relative of Airstream, our Bambi would have been winking at it or something...and it wasn't...so...
