25 Footers

I want the read bedroom, twin and think it will be available in the International.

My husband I and recently purchased a FC 25A. We debated between that and the 23U, and 27 FB. I recall after moving between units for literally hours at the dealership, finally settling back into the FC 25A and saying, "This is the perfect size for the two of us". It just felt right. We've been working the kinks out and getting small issues taken care of, but we are still tickled pink with it. We hope to one day full-time and I see no need to get a larger unit. The rear twin beds provide extra storage and give the trailer a lengthier look and feel inside. My husband says he hardly notices the unit behind him when towing, which says alot as this is our first travel trailer! We tow with a 2015 Ford F150 Ecoboost, with the aluminum body.

I wonder if the 25' trailers inclusive of all their configurations and trim levels are the most popular seller? As many have mentioned, it is a great size for traveling.

I have a 1966 24' Trade Wind twin bed, rear bath. It too is a very convenient size for traveling and towing. And it is welcome in national and state parks. Even 50 years ago, the "mid sized" trailers were quite popular.

By the way, you Airstreamers with late model trailers need to plan what your trailer will be doing 50 years from now. With proper maintenance, they will last that long for sure.

Anyone know sales volumes by length? My guess the 25 footers are the top sellers.

Don't have the numbers, but Colonial Airstream says the Flying Cloud comprises more than half of all AS TT sales volume, and the 25 footer is the most popular Flying Cloud.

The new F250 most likely will not hit the streets until January as did the 2015 aluminum body F150. Ford will be offering big discounts on the 2016 F250 to move inventory before the new aluminum body F250 is available.

From what I am hearing they are ahead of schedule on these and should be at the dealerships in September. I placed my order on 4-20 and just heard Friday that it has been scheduled already.

The initial schedule is as follows:
04/13/2016 - 2017MY Order Bank Open Date
05/26/2016 - 2017MY Scheduling Begins (KTP)
06/23/2016 - 2017MY Scheduling Begins (OHAP)
07/11/2016 - 2017MY Job #1 Date (KTP)
08/15/2016 - 2017MY Job #1 Date (OHAP)

Should be a smoother transition than the F150's. I had one of the first of the 2015's out and it was actually built early October 2014 but not received until mid Jan 2016.

I didn't know that state and national parks limited to 25'. We currently have a 25' Aerolite, made also by Thor Industries, and for us, it is the perfect length. Our dream trailer is an Airstream! I'm sure many here have been like us, having a few other brands before finally getting your Airstream! Some day.
