Hi
Looking at the picture, I'd say that's roughly a 33' Classic sized trailer. It could be smaller and the perspective might be throwing things off a bit. It's probably not the long awaited 45' fifth wheel with eight slide outs ....

Probably the "new" Christopher Robbin Airstream or perhaps the new Captain Underpants trailer!
Variation of a themed trailer that goes out of style very quickly.
The new Frozen trailer with new Finding Dora tow vehicle. . . . . .

What I wish it was:
An intelligently designed and meticulously built Airstream with Coosa Board sub floors, 4-season insulation, elimination of the suicide door, conduit for cable runs.
What it likely is:
A regular Airstream with updated interior design, lots of bells and whistles that talk to a smartphone and marketing that touts "green design." Who wants to bet?

Hi
It's about time for the Tommy Bahama series to go away and for a replacement theme to come along. I'd vote for something a bit more "euro style".

After many years of dumping a porta potty from my sailboat, I have no idea why this has become popular in Europe.
What this video. Especially the last third.

Geez, get me all hot and bothered with the Coosa board sub floor......but you're right, why put quality and money into places people don't see.
Cheers
Sidekick Tony
PS Whatever it is, I'll buy it when the subfloor needs replacement.

I think we are heading in the wrong direction. “We” should be working on fixing current problems not introducing more.
And when did Dads start wearing skinny jeans? Urban? What’s this World coming to.

i don’t think smart control qualifies for a new trailer.

I would like to see a 25 foot Globetrotter and Classic.
It is also nice to see that Airstream is getting with 4G LTE. They should have it ready just in time for the technology to switch to 5G which will be functional in 2019.

Who will be the first to "pocket dial" their awning open while driving down the highway?

If I thought all that stuff would work as advertised, I'd be all over it. We already have a lot of this info via the Victron system we had installed and it's great! However, given our experience with Airstream's electric awning, this level of complexity looks like a nightmare waiting to happen.
As usual, the only feature I really want this year is a Quality Assurance Program they take seriously and use to show everyone inside and outside of the company how they're improving quality every day.

Well said.
Funny . . . that one of the main attractions of the entire Airstream line, and its history, is how well Airstreams age through many decades of use.
"Vintage Kin" is a badge of honor!
Now ask yourself how well these new techno-=heavy Airstreams are going to age, after decades of bouncing down the highway.
Not!

Hi
Putting the recliners / sofa from the 30' Classic into something in the 27' range seems like a winner to me. Maybe I'm the only one though ....
