Yahoo Autos Airstream Basecamp 20 debuts with more space for all inside the silver bullet
A new Airstream Basecamp trailer just debuted. It’s the Basecamp 20, and it’s meant to serve as the larger upgrade model to the Basecamp 16 — we reviewed one just over a year ago. Airstream has made the silver bullet camper trailer longer, taller and wider for the 20. Apparently, customers were asking for more space.
The new Basecamp 20 has separate spaces for eating and sleeping. Its rear bed is now larger, and the convertible front dinette can now seat four people or sleep two children/one adult. Airstream says there are more storage locations throughout the trailer to stow extra gear. It also has a dedicated furnace, tankless water heater, fresh/gray/black water tanks and four heavy duty stabilizer jacks. Three interior decor options are available: Glacier Lake, Red Rock, and Forest Ridge.
In case you wanted a more rugged trailer, the Basecamp 20X was also just revealed. It’s the same as the Basecamp 20, but adds extra equipment to let it handle worse terrain. Airstream adds Goodyear off-road tires wrapping larger aluminum wheels, a higher (12-inch) ground clearance under full load, stone guard protection, steel steps and tinted window guards.
