Airstreams are amazing! I have never owned an RV of any kind and took a look at the Airstream models in Ft WorthTexas area all units showcased indoors, Basecamp to 33 footers. I’m glad Patrick was not there or I might of made a purchase that day. So we’ll built compared to what’s on the market in the RV world, from what I’ve seen. Thank you for the walk through sir
