The Nest is largely made of molded fiberglass. Even though they’ve dabbled in painted aluminum ( Airstream Argosy) and steel (Mercedes Airstream Van), the Nest is the companies first major foray into a non-metal exterior. Typically Airstreams are known for their aluminum shells. That’s an $8,500 difference between these two models. The MSRP of the Airstream Basecamp is $37,400.

It’s a bit pricey, but compared to a $100,000 full size Airstream…its not too steep. The MSRP of the Airstream Nest is $45,900. Let’s take a look at the price comparison between these two models. Fortunately, they hold their value better than any other major travel trailer manufacturer. There’s no doubt that Airstreams cost a premium. If you want to dive deeper into travel trailer GVWR, check out this great article by Camper Report.Īirstream brags on its design – “the aggressive departure angle and large wheels help you tackle more roads with confidence, and side skirts and wheel flares help prevent damage from gravel and debris.” The GVWR is 3,500 lbs – giving it a payload of 865 lbs.Įven though the Basecamp is smaller and about 30% lighter than the Nest, it can safely carry 365 more pounds of weight according to the GVWR. We consider that a pretty big difference. The Basecamp does weigh almost 1,000 lbs lighter – coming in at 2,635 lbs. However, all these measurements are pretty dang close. It’s also narrower (6.4 feet) and less tall (8.75 feet). The Airstream Basecamp X measures in a touch shorter at 16.25 feet. That means you can carry 500lbs worth of stuff, be it the essentials (like water) or the trivial (like plants).Īirstream says, “The Nest is nimble and light on its feet, which makes it easy to tow with a variety of mid-size SUVs.” The GVWR (how much your trailer can safely weigh including payload) is 4,000lbs. The Nest weighs 3,500lbs dry – this means with no belongings on board and no water in the tank. Overall, the measurements make for easy parking!
The exterior height is 9.5 feet and the width is 7 feet. The Airstream Nest measures in at 16.6 feet – from tongue to bumper. The weight will have huge implications on your tow vehicle…and corresponding “ease of towing.”Įven the height and width will have some (albeit minimal) impact on travel. The length can limit where (and how easily) you can park.
