Looks nice except for the fender skirts, which look like the plastic ones on a box trailer.

Good catch. I didn't even notice that - however upon closer inspection it also looks like 16" wheels and considerably more ground clearance than the "normal" Airstream. The fender skirts indicate that the wheels are farther apart than under a standard Airstream. It's hard to tell but if you look under the side gaucho/couch... where's the wheel well? The curved sides of the Airstreams along with the low center of gravity limit internal storage. The fender skirts may be a legit improvement - if you have a blowout at speed - there's an inexpensive piece to replace rather than screwing up a side panel!

So here's another question. Where did they hide the furnace. It's under the side gaucho on the standard 25 FB's. I like the look of the floor - real dirt friendly... And with the rear door and lift up seating you could sweep it out with a leaf blower!

True there's less storage - in the kitchen too - but even with the fold up seats, some small bins could go under the curved parts of the dinette. I do like the freestanding table. Is this type of table is lowered by having a second set of legs that are shorter?

Wow, I really like that! Not sure I'd pay new retail for it, but excellent concept, would work great for our bikes!

... I like the fold up dinette in the rear, looks like Basecamp style benches that foldup onto the sides, making them look seamless with the wall when up. One note, you REALLY have to bend down to get out the rear.. I'm sure those over 5' tall would bang their heads on the overhead cabinet.

I wonder how hard it would be to graft this to the rear of my Argosy.... hmmmm...

Also, where's the vent to heat the aft end of the trailer? Must be one somewhere.

Hi, am I blind? Or is there a bathroom somewhere in there; I didn't see one. If no bathroom, then a smaller fresh water tank would work, a smaller gray tank, and no black tank needed.

Ha! Yes, from the galley forward the floorplan appears to be the same as the 25' FB w/queen bed.

This one is the true Swiss army knife. The hatch and foldaway seats open up possibilities, many ways to use it. For those Euro recliner fans like me. Looks like room for two of them for our longer trips, and the bicycles.

Might make us move up in size, except my wife would miss the kitchen in our remarkable little 20.

From Camping Life......."The partnership between Airstream and Eddie Bauer will be supported by coordinated marketing campaigns by both brands, including its feature on the cover of Eddie Bauer’s 2010 Ultimate Gift Guide and a consumer unveiling at January’s Sundance Film Festival. A line of co-branded merchandise will also launch this spring. The Eddie Bauer Airstream has an MSRP of $73,702 and will be available at dealers nationwide in February 2011. It was unveiled on Nov. 30 at the 48th annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Kentucky.

So if you're anywhere in the NYC/Philly/NJ triangle, head on over to Colonial and take a look at it.

They note the dinette fabrics are Sunbrella!

I already found out they're not making it in a 27FB or even with twins. Lost my sale!

Anyone in the DFW area of Texas may want to see the Eddie Bauer edition Airstream prototype at the RV Super Sale Show at the Dallas Market Hall.

We are between this model and a Flying Cloud so it was a good surprise to learn Airstream has it at this show.

We plan to lay eyes on it tonight.

I saw in Airstream Life that they are going for $73,000. Very kool!

ADVPHOTOG · 02-26-2011, 04:40 PM

At the show in Dallas they are offering them at $68k with no additional options such as solar kit, inverter, or extra TV.

Congratulations! I think you're the first on AirForums. You'll have to give us all your reviews. Can't wait to hear about it. We're waiting in my city to see one brought into the dealership. I'm so curious about this model.

The dealer in Springfield, MO just got in a 2012 EB! If it's not sold by April 15 they are bringing it to the Air Midwest rally in Branson MO. I hope I can see it! Very cool looking unit.

ADVPHOTOG · 03-29-2011, 11:57 AM

Well we did pick it up this past Friday. First trip will be this coming weekend so we are looking forward to getting to know the trailer. This is our first Airstream.

I hope the forum moderators will see fit to to add an Eddie Bauer sub forum so we can post threads there. I will have photos and our feed back after our first outing.

You can already update your profile, I see that the Eddie Bauer is in the drop-down for trailers... congrats on leaving the ranks of "Currently looking," I'm envious!
