I like the concept and will be watching to see how it evolves into an actual product. The question I have is about the batteries usability when the trailer is in storage at home. If you give this the capability for the trailer's battery to act as a home backup battery (similar to what the F-150 Lightning can do) that would be a huge selling point.

Airstream, you’ve got a winner here. Please don’t rest on the “it’s only a concept” idea for long, get it into production. You have interested buyers, myself included.

I'm not an RVer but this is very cool. It would be great if you could triple the solar panel capacity by making a stacked set of panels where the top one could stay in place while the two below it could slide out to opposite sides with motors. The two that slide out would also serve as awnings.

2 years later 1/29/24 nothing to show yet 😂 I hate when companies do this. How about don’t show it until it’s ready or close to it’s release

YES. This is the direction we should be going! Thank you for pushing this forward!

As if we weren't already in love with Airstream you put new dreams into reality! This looks incredibly promising!

This is truly a game changer, this is the future of RV. ❤️💕❤️@airstream thank you for allowing us to make a video 📷 inside this beautiful RV.

I really need this! I almost bought an Airstream last year, but when I learned about how silly the power/fuel situation was going to be, I decided to wait until someone redesigned it. So sweet!

And this is why I love Airstream. Great concept guys! Can't wait to see it in person!

This concept is awesome. It is such a great idea that solves many issues with towing and giving you more power for longer when you are at the campsite (dry camping). I would buy one 💪🏻

This is bloody brilliant! Very well thought out feature set and great innovation. Can't wait for this to be a production model, especially if the technology is worked into your slightly larger models. Keep up the great work.

Wow! This is a fantastic concept and look forward to seeing the production model. Being able to go more off grid is critical and what more people want to do as campgrounds and RV parks stay so full. Love Airstream, keep up the great work!

As a 22 Sport owner, this very much looks like the next generation to me. I love the way you integrated existing automotive components to bring the features together. If you can produce this for the market and keep the price bump to the $20-25K range, you will have plenty of new and existing customers lining up.

Great concept. I'd love to see this technology applied to a small 14'- 15' trailer.

I love everything about this! I can’t wait to see the Estream being pulled by a silver Rivian R1T.

Was really hoping to see Airstream go this direction. This can enable a truly nomadic lifestyle in the model world. Can’t wait!

I really love this concept. I truly think the ability to move it without a tow vehicle is an amazing idea. This could make previously unusable spots accessible. This is also something motorhome manufacturers should take into consideration, if you ask me.

Wow... I never imagined that I'd see these features in any trailer... Go Airstream!!!

The is the epitome of innovation. Towing is a huge concern with my Audi E-tron, and I would never even consider towing with it....until now!! Awesome work, looking forward to seeing a finished product

This is a really wild, innovative, and cool idea - bringing select, electric automotive-like capabilities to a travel trailer that previously would have been unimaginable with a combustion engine and then using that same tech to give you way more power off grid or boondocking than we have now. Whether this actually comes to life or does so at a reasonable price point, we will see, but I love where this is going directionally. It's not without its flaws I'm sure, but this is the kind of innovation we need to see in the RV market IMO.

I love that matt aluminum finish.

I have a Tesla model X and I am really excited about this product. Range anxiety is a huge issue for me and we have been watching all kinds of videos of people doing the experiments of how far you can pull what trailer before we buy. My wife and I were to the point of settling on a teardrop which really isn’t ideal but much better than tent camping. This, however, raises the bar to luxury capability for full time living in retirement. I would love to be a test dummy for this product to take it through its paces. Campgrounds, off-grid, extended living… let’s get moving. :)

Wow, this is impressive to see you thinking of the future in this manner. I think it has a lot of potential in many ways. Keep it up. I love the built in HUGE battery bank and solar charging, quick charging, and the remote control is super awesome. Nothing more intimidating then backing a trailer into a spot with a TV.

Love this and about time! I hope this comes in longer lengths.

I really hope a release of a 28 version as well. A 28 would look amazing with the Cybertruck.

I am not a fan of Cybertruck aesthetically but will totally get one just for this eStream~ Matching metal shells🤩

WOW, Just WOW. This is exactly what the futur should be. Hopping that production can come as early as possible.

As a future owner of the R1T, I am really interested in this

I'm looking forward to future iterations of this concept. Also looking forward to future videos of people driving these down the freeway with the remote only. You know someone is going to figure out how to drive one of these at full speed with the remote only.

Very excited to see champions of camping and RV to step out in front and take the lead. Excellent concept. I will certainly consider purchasing one along with my F150 Lighting.

Love to experience off grid living with this.

Amazing concept! This our future to be united with nature and technology! I need one with a small bunkhouse though

I look forward to seeing this progress into the future. Definitely will wait a few years before buying to let AS work out the kinks. It takes AS dealers months for the most minor of repairs for many years now.

Love the concept … I would love to see some of this tech translated throughout your line up … It would be really cool to see this tech even within your van line up as well

Looks amazing. Hope to see products with this kind of tech soon

I love the concept. However I really question the ability of the trailer to have its own drive motors. Instead, I’d rather use its large battery bank to potentially extend the range of the tow vehicle. To me, that would reduce the complexity of the drive system.

My wife and I both have a Tesla and could see this being a very real option in our lives. You should get the factories ready because I’m not sure you realize the market demand you would have moving forward with this. I would be happy to be a beta tester on your platform as a newbie who wants to start getting away.

Are you kidding me?? !! Holy cow! This is amazing. Even if only 1/2 of this is true…this knocked me out….

Airstream has always had a futuristic look, but woah! Props!

Wow ! ……I’ll say it backwards WOW ! This is really impressive and WAY ahead of the curve ! Way to think outside of the box Airstream !

Love the concept, but if the batteries are filling up the floor space of the RV, where are the tanks?

Heard of it quite early I guess, was intrigued by the idea. Having made up my mind since then, more things come up everytime I think about it: - bidirectional charge port is a must - allow the motor concept to be flexible, e.g. think about a single motor version (for cost reasons) and think about hub motors (for space and complexity reasons). - given campers/RVs spend a lot of time not at a campsite or on the road, make the new, added tech as flexible as possible to use. You show/have the battery and solar among them. Let the features provide their service while spending time on the campsite or at home: vehicle-to-grid/vehicle-to-home power (see first note), and that as well with the solar essentially growing the solar at home (or even replacing it, if one choses to do so). It may not be much, but for people having none, why not using it while it is there. - make it international in its core (especially the core electrics/electroonics). Personally, if I were to invest in this, my first idea is how much benefit do I have while this thing is at my place, since it will be expensive and have components that are not meant to idle, like the battery and solar. Motors will sit whenever they sit, so there is no difference, except depreciation. That being said, I would like to connect this permanently with my home (like stable, not permanent as in fix), and do what modern BEVs can do, like the lightning and many other new BEVs: delivering power back. Now that this thing has a substantial solar roof, it will deliver quite some Watts during sun penetration and could make a house much more sustainable. And that can be taken whereever one goes - brilliant! My next guess is that this would be absolutely perfect as a mobile office. Even better as any Airstream or other RVs or campers ever were! What draws me back is the idea of having a whole, complex (=expensive) E-powertrain, especially with 2 motors. Hence my mention of hub-motors (much better with a camper than with cars, especially off-road IMHO, think of unsprung mass). Somebody else mentioned a freight-version or so, I think that is a good idea, but I guess totally not in Airstreams business area - but maybe you think about it. But what I would love it to become (is it that way now ? I have no idea!) is a modular approach, like seeling it naked without interior and have special outfitters doing custom build or let customers do it themselves. It would make the office idea I mentioned earlier or other business ideas much more realistic and again: flexible. This concept is indeed idea-fueling!

As long as there’s no planned obsolescence i’m all for it.

I would buy this immediately!

Now that's an innovation!

Yesssss was waiting for this? Congrats great move!!! Let’s go!

This looks awesome, although one of things I’ve found that can limit your stay outdoors is how much fresh water and gray water you can store. Im assuming this could use a biodegradable toilet but those battery’s are where my water tanks sit.(we have 22ft Caravel) I wonder how much fresh water and gray water can this trailer actually store? This video talks about towing a bunch but nothing about heat, AC, cooking, hot water, showering and the rest what comes with living / staying in a camper. I know its a concept but those are important factors.

I have a Tesla Model 3 and I am very excited to see how the EStream Trailer can help me get into having a towable camping trailer. I’ll continue to keep you on my radar for future updates on your progress thanks

Love the forward look! So much of this is fantastic. I think EV’s in the near future will have plenty of towing capacity, but having battery life for days is awesome. A light weight option that doesn’t have the power bank, can draw power from the WV but still provide recharging solar from the large roof would be a nice route as well.

To hell with the concept! Give me one today!!

This is pretty incredible

The coupler, inertia brakes, jockey wheel (jack) all seem to be the European BPW manufacturer. I also note that the axle is more central as on your European Airstreams. This makes a lot of sense for today's smaller vehicles that can only take a lighter nose weight. This Airstream looks as if it will be big internationally. The integrated lights will be easier to adapt to most countries that require amber turn signals and in many countries also a reversing light and rear fog lamp. The red triangular reflector would look good if integrated also, but these can easily be attached. I like this concept very much and I do know that a small manufacturer in Turkey (or Türkiye as they would now preferred to be known as) has also presented something similar although that is more of an off-road trailer. Clearly, this is the way forward.

Si love so much! Especially that they use a Black couple and child also, several “walk ons.” The features are draw dropping. I would love to easily afford, use, and enjoy this with a great partner/friend or even solo!

I'm very excited for this concept to become a reality. Take my money, please!

Hi i am wating to see it coming to the market very soon this is the way of future for costumer and for the industry to go keep it up

Super exciting! Cost will likely be a concern, but really forward thinking.

Towed out 27 airstream around 30k miles and hardly ever go to campground. AM solar installed 600 solar and 600 lithium and we lifted it 3”. Lift this 3” add another axle and this would be the ultimate vehicle to explore remote places. I hope they build them, we would have a reason to upgrade

Wow, what a beauty, the remote control part was a huge hit! The price is probably to the moon but looks like you'll be paying for quality!

Wow i would buy one. From Montréal

Great innovation. Good job 👍🏻

Fantastic idea. From an EV owner’s perspective, some obvious questions: - What batteries will you use? What capacity? - What is your voltage architecture? 800v? - What is your planned Level 3 charging rate, and your estimated time from 20% to 80%? - Will you be using CCS, or NACS (Tesla) plugs?

Great! Now move from concept to production.

Very excited for this

We have never owned a RV, 5th wheel, travel trailer - but this I would purchase. We are currently considering a class C or B, but waiting a couple of years to see if this will come to market will be worth the wait.

More solar, more battery capacity and a larger inverter are the concepts I want to see integrated first. I would also like to see a vented washer/dryer before remote driving.

Great job! Forward thinking :)

Can’t wait to see this IRL

Finally a caravan company innovating. Looks awesome.

So if this trailer is capable of driving its own wheels does that mean you cannot put "special trailer" tires on this unit will you have to use normal Lt tires like all the vehicles have? Most people that I talked to already use Lt tires as the "special trailer" tires tend to blow out the second you drive down the road due to the standards that LT tires have to comply with versus the near non-existent standards ST tires have. Thoughts?

Really great concept and I hope to see these on the road one day. If you could also have the ability to charge your evehicle from the trailer battery and use the trailer even if it has a dead battery that would be interesting for people who find themselves need just that little bit more range to get out of a cool boondocking location.

With all the electric I think there's a great opportunity for the luxury items like instant hot water, surround sound etc that comes with electrification

Can't wait to buy one. 22ft is perfect for small family with normal SUV.

Love it. Just build it.

Sweet, I'll just sit inside the trailer with my iPad and drive the trailer to the campground :)

Awesome!

WOW ❤ YES PLEASE!!! 👍🏽😎

You thought an airstream was expensive now? Can’t wait to see the price point on a trailer that solves a problem no one is having.

I’m not big on the push for electric vehicles. Just me but a camper with these features is definitely impressive. I’m afraid to see what the price tag is going to be. 😳. Glad airstream is on board and leading the way in the rv industry

Very cool idea! Better wait until the infrastructure catches up.

Drive assist will be a game changer for all trailers including hgv trailers. Having batteries and a drive unit on board will significantly increase range. And the trailers can be charged while docked. Even integrated into existing ice trucks it would assist in propulsion and increase mpg

This looks incredible. As a Mechanical Design Engineer and an Airstream owner I would love to be a Beta Tester! ;)

I would totally buy this if this will be reality! And I also hope it will be avilable for the European market too. 😃🙏❤️

I would love to see the Cinderella incinerator toilet and inductive cooktop there. This would make it a perfect RV trailer.

This is the kind of innovation that is sadly lacking in the rest of the RV industry. This is amazing whether you believe in going green or not. So awesome. Hope the price isn't killer though. Airstream's are already pretty pricey.

Looks awesome

Looks awesome.

Bring it on!!!!!

I am really looking forward to the release of this product

Very nice!

Wow you get to next level

This is blowing my mind

Omg just seeing this , but it’s awesome 🎉

Hopefully there is a feature added to have rear-view cams sync up with one of the vehicles dash monitors. Either way, it's nice to see these designs come to life.

That’ll be half a million please 😌

Airstream motorhomes...back in production!

I'll be completely sold when they include a dry bath lol

Would never have considered an Airstream, now I'm researching if you guys have a presence in Australia... here's hoping this leaves the concept phase, well done

I’m in. Let me know when you’d like me to test this out for you. 😄

I hope airstream follows through with this concept! Looks good

Since these will weight significantly more than the non-E versions, how will this impact the towing vehicle tow capacity ratings? Could I tow a 7,000 lb eStream with a vehicle rated for 5,000 lbs? Does this virtually eliminate the requirement for a tow vehicle to have any significant tow rating? In other words, could ANY vehicle with a class 3+ hitch tow this? The concept of not needing a huge tow vehicle is very appealing!
