Over sixty years later, Airstream has again pushed against current limitations, creating an exciting view of the future of RV travel. The 1958 Airstream International Travel Trailer line brought together years of innovative product development and was unlike any RV that had come before – fully self-contained, with a water heater, holding tanks, and batteries, as well as a kitchen, shower, and bathroom that let owners enjoy the comforts of home even when far afield and not hooked up to the standard utilities at a traditional campsite. In the late 1950s, Airstream founder Wally Byam introduced the world to a new way of traveling – one that left behind the need for standard electric and water connections and let Airstreamers travel with true independence. The design and engineering improvements in the eStream echo the foundational work done by Airstream over the decades. “This was our chance to explore what’s possible – to push a little and begin to understand where we can build on 90 years of innovation.” A Tradition of Innovation “What you see in the eStream is an electrified travel trailer concept that really lays out the blueprint for what’s to come,” said Bob Wheeler, Airstream President and CEO. With a rear bed and front convertible dinette, four people can comfortably sleep and stay in the 22-foot-long floor plan. And while the eStream is primarily designed to evoke the possibility of the next generation of RV e-mobility, the concept travel trailer also includes an all-new, modern interior.
#Airstreamer are free
The eStream brings to life a reality that is not so far in the future: A world where Airstreamers are far less tethered to the campsite and free to roam in comfort. And at the campsite, the battery bank allows for longer stays in comfort and the ability to run the air conditioner, appliances, and connectivity solutions without the need for a shore power connection. Those same motors work while the eStream is in Drive Mode to help move it down the highway in concert with the tow vehicle – essentially the eStream “follows” along, rather than being towed purely by the tow vehicle.
Nestled inside the eStream’s state-of-the-art chassis is a large, safe, automotive-grade high-voltage battery bank that powers everything from the all-electric appliances to the independent motors that allow the travel trailer to move under its own power.
