I hope they're on the quality end of the spectrum. Airstream's forays into other products in the past have included some dubious choices (in my opinion) including motorhomes that look like they could be any brand. I do love the Airstream-shaped motorhomes such as the one NASA used (the Astrovan). <br /><br />We'll see about Nest. I am not ready to call it the wrong move yet. <br /><br />The saddest thing for me has been seeing some posts the on the Airstream forums about the quality problems of new trailers. Hopefully those are exceptions. Regardless, I love Airstreams!!!Jim Breitingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05750950685298514941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777943.post-79153009583122871612017-05-30T12:10:55.517-06:002017-05-30T12:10:55.517-06:00Interesting summary. Besides gross sales numbers, ...Interesting summary. Besides gross sales numbers, it is also interesting to see the nature of the trailers making up those sales. According to Thor's release, the trend is affected by "increasing sales of lower priced travel trailers" and "improved material costs".<br /><br />They sold a lot of Basecamps and smaller trailers. The forthcoming "Next" trailer is all fiberglass. I certainly want the company to be successful but hope they remember what made/makes their brand stand out among all the others. Smaller, lighter and cheaper isn't exactly synonymous with Airstream. "You get what you pay for" should proudly be their motto. If they go hard down the inexpensive fiberglass and plastic route, I fear they will produce yet another cheap-o RV that falls apart while sitting still. "It broke? Buy another one." is a cruddy motto.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
