What future Airstream could be like
Saw this on a UK camping site. Its a wow trailer for sure.
Could be a futuristic Airstream ( kinda)..
Called a Monopod by the manufacturer.

There was a US company that made one like that sometime around 2012?? But they folded shortly thereafter. Can't remember the name, but seems like they were in Indiana.

Earthbound I think. Nice looking trailers but came around during the economy dump. Didn't last long, too bad.

Yes, that's the name. Really nice trailers. Too bad the company didn't last.
Now THAT would have been cool if AS had bought THAT company and made THAT design the "new" AS, but continued to offer the classic-shaped trailers, also.
I like the Monopod even better than the Earthbound. Great lines!

That Monopod..... Beautiful fiberglass design! I've never been crazy about fiberglass trailers, until I saw that one!

The more things change the more they stay the same. Nothing really new under the sun it all comes down to good marketing and hitting the right target market in a good price range. Keep your bread and butter market strong with traditional products (which are still recognizable from the earliest Airstreams) and use new products to appeal to new markets.

And like many others, it's built backward. The slope should be at the rear for less aerodynamic drag.

Looks like less ground clearance than an AS. Might not be good for boon docking.
