Wonderful... I've seen the Original one in person in Chula Vista, Ca. Very Vintage
I love it.....I. glad I own the 2002 Airstream Bambi ...out of Manteca California
Well it's about time. I love campers and teardrops, but each year they get uglier and uglier. The bowlus was ahead of it's time and I am so glad a vintage piece of history is making a comeback.
Dang, gorgeous, but costs more than our house did!
Who would you take it to if someone smashed into the bow stern? A body shop.
0:51 I know their daughter…….what’s her name…… I can’t remember……
The perfect camper for a throwback design 2022 Ford Bronco or 2024 ? VW Scout to pull it
What about the wind???
Is the interest you’d pay on a loan for this girl tax deductible if it’s what you live in 100% of the time?
Yes. Trailers are tax deductible, even for recreational use. But check your state tax rules
Not worth the cost.....
Don't worry--it's not meant for you.
@@mulemule elitist much?
@@janebray9392 Nah, just realistic. It's disingenuous pretending a $200K+ travel trailer's meant for non-elites. (But please post a link after purchase to virtue signal its easy availability to the masses.)
