Airstream and Eddie Bauer have their designs set on comfort
Airstream has long enjoyed a following among moneyed campers whose idea of roughing it includes a refrigerator, TV and toilet. Now folks who think the call of the wild is best heard from the muffled and cozy confines of a studded sheet-metal trailer, outfitted with down bedding and a designer pedigree, can do so with Airstream’s new Eddie Bauer model. It is available and on display through Sunday at the California RV Show at the Pomona Fairplex.
The $75,000 Eddie Bauer model is based on Airstream’s popular 25-foot Flying Cloud trailer, only its interior materials were designed by Eddie Bauer. Airstream Chief Executive Bob Wheeler said Eddie Bauer shares “core DNA,” fusing an affection for adventure and the outdoors with style and performance.
That DNA manifests itself in quilted beige seat cushions and burnt orange accent pillows, charcoal gray carpet (rugged enough to disguise muddy boot prints) and a light maple laminate that serves as a reminder of the forest that may or may not be nearby. A new rear sport hatch hinges up and offers more space for carrying bicycles and other urban outdoorsman accessories.
