RV Review – Airstream 25FB Eddie Bauer 2012 Travel Trailer

The Airstream Classic 25 footer Eddie Bauer

The perfect length for a couple to live in or travel in all over the world.

Say what you want about any RV’s, but the Airstream is a class act. Still though, as you try to write what SETS IT APART from other travel trailers, it gets harder. Here are the items I think that are noteworthy :

  • Designed for space efficiency in every bit of its DNA – Slide outs not needed.
  • Materials and surfaces are durable and of a consistently high quality.
  • I HAVE to mention the really cool aluminum exterior
  • Use of awnings and tinted windows is well done.
  • All the normal travel trailer amenities apply plus a few
    • Electric Jacks
    • black tank / grey tank / fresh water tank
    • stellar access to trailer via a gear stowing door in the rear
    • Elegant kitchen, hot water heater, bathroom, shower
This is just a fantastic little unit. I’d love to have an Airstream.

RV Underbelly Material

Plastic material that is very similar to cardboard

Many people wonder what the material is that covers the underbelly  of an RV.

If you look at it, it looks exactly like cardboard. But it clearly is a material that is waterproof like plastic.

Look no further, the material is called Coroplast and you can find a manufacturer of it here (  http://www.coroplast.com )
