I want one! But I am having a problem with the amount of space they allow in their new models. As my main interest is boondocking, I am having some difficulty not only finding minimal storage space but also for extra space for the 6 to 8 batteries I need to support multiple solar panels. ( I am considering a 2010 27' Classic ) I need more space!
( Or, I need to downsize my desire for maximum energy storage )
I prefer a "trailer" so that I can run a short-bed TV however I would opt for a long-bed TV if Airstream made a "5th wheel". Why does Airstream not make a 5th wheel? I know Airstream is conservative toward the original design which is cool, however a 5th wheel Airstream would win any race on the road. ( structure,storage-room,comfort, design ) Surely the company is in business for profit. ( count the number of 5th wheels presently on the road ) Can you imagine the incredible design Airstream could create? Keeping expense in mind , just like many others, I would weigh the results in favor of an Airstream if they were to produce a 5th wheel!
Of course, I am new to this game so these are only initial observations.

Are you sure about so many batteries? What is your power hungry budget?

Nine years later he may already have found a solution.
