"When it comes to our travel trailer lineup, we have set the bar in regard to design, quality craftsmanship and staying true to our brand heritage – Bambi and Caravel are no exception," Bob Wheeler, president and CEO of Airstream, said in a statement. So, it's not cheap, but it's also not compromising on any of the luxury features or build quality of the larger and more expensive models. It can sleep up to four people and starts at around $49,000. The Bambi line is available in lengths from 16 to 22 feet and four different floor plans. So that means that you probably won't have to go and trade your crossover or station wagon for a truck or full-size SUV. The new Bambi model is designed to be easy for those new to towing and trailering to hook up and manage, and its light weight means that it can be pulled easily by a surprisingly large variety of vehicles.

It's a nickname that's been traditionally used to describe all of the single-axle trailers in Airstream's lineup. The Bambi got its name after a Capetown to Cairo trip led by Airstream's founder Wally Byam because it's lightweight, agile and surprisingly hardy. Now though, the classic Airstream style gets a little more affordable because the company announced Monday that it would be offering two new single-axle entry-level models with names from the brand's storied past: Bambi and Caravel.

They're also traditionally superexpensive. How could you not? They're all sleek and shiny and lightweight. The odds are good that if you're a chic Gen X-er or even an elder Millennial, you've had at least one severe fit of desire for an Airstream trailer.
