If you are looking at alternatives to an Airstream, you should consider the Bigfoot RV's. Casita's are OK, but Bigfoot's are in a whole higher class. If I couldn't have an Airstream, I would get a Bigfoot, either a 17 footer (something like this) I think they are simply amazing:
2008 Bigfoot 17.5CB $33856 Quality Upscale Small Travel Trailer : George M Sutton RV - Eugene, Oregon

or a Bigfoot 21:
2008 Bigfoot 2500 Series 21FB $49963 Compact 4-Season Luxury Travel Trailer : George M Sutton RV - Eugene, Oregon

or a Bigfoot 25:
2008 Bigfoot 2500 Series B25 4-Season Light-Weight Luxury $47,206 Travel Trailer : George M Sutton RV - Eugene, Oregon

Note: I don't know anything about the dealer who has these, they just happened to be examples to explore. Personally, I would look for a 3-5 year old used one.
used 2004 BIGFOOT 17.5G Travel Trailer, 17.5', sleeps 4, Langley BC,
They seem to hold up very well over the years. Good luck!

They almost look like an Airstream inside. But they also carry the high price of an Airstream. I really like them. Is there anything better about a Bigfoot than an Airstream?

Maybe the outside would be easier to care for as it's not aluminum?

Or maybe it wouldn't as likely leak?

Or maybe it is warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer?

Of course, the Airstream is beautiful from the outside. The Bigfoot is very attractive on the inside.

big foot is nice...

and in many ways closer to a semimonocoque design than modern 'streams...

one negative is they ride on leaf spring axles, but ya can't have everything right?

not many 90s units in your price range, but ask and ye shall receive...

like magic!
