For the even more
Adventurous
At heart
The Basecamp Travel Trailer was made for those who want to see the world. Built for adventure, it’s a small camping trailer that’s tough enough to go anywhere your wanderlust takes you, and comfortable enough to help you really enjoy the time you spend there. Head out to snowboard after the first fresh powder. Spend a week mountain biking deep in the forest. Pack up and go anywhere you please, with nothing holding you back.

Clean Up, Wind Down, and Recharge
Basecamp is full of thoughtful, efficient RV features that help you fuel up for the day, then clean up and sack out when it’s all said and done. From the on-board restroom to the convertible living space that forms a relaxing bed, it’s all right there with you, along for the ride. Charge your phone, wake up and make coffee, and then hit the trails again.
Built to Conquer Rugged Terrain
Unlike other Airstream travel trailers, Basecamp is engineered with a uniquely aggressive rear departure angle that lets you exit steep trails and rugged terrain without scraping or dragging. This exclusive design, paired with a 3-inch lift kit and all-terrain tires, makes Basecamp stand out in its class. It’s not just built for adventure; it’s built to finish it strong, wherever the trail ends.
Enhanced Features
for Bigger Adventures
If your adventures take you even farther off the beaten path, Basecamp’s rugged features are built to go the distance. Outfitted with Goodyear® all-terrain tires and stylized aluminum wheels, plus a 3′′ lift kit and a raised hitch jack foot pad, Basecamp offers exceptional ground clearance. And with stainless steel rock guards and a solar window guard shielding against debris kicked up by your tow vehicle, your trailer stays protected no matter where the road—or trail—leads.
