Airstreams: Are they worth it? (self.rvs)

I've been thinking about getting a travel trailer for some long trips for my family of 3, plus a small dog.

The Airstreams look open inside, and I like the relatively low dry weight as well as the resale value. The only thing is that new models have gotten extremely expensive.

Are they worth this extra cost, and how easy are they to tow? We are thinking of something along the lines of a Flying Cloud model.

I've been through a few in my quest for an RV, and I didn't like the lack of interior space: they don't have slide-outs, and the round shape doesn't help, either.

(thanks for starting the community!)

That's a good point. With the round shape you end up losing a lot of the cubby holes you have for storage in other RVs.

I like the lower weight and the higher resale value, but it almost seems like if we're going to spend any significant amount of time inside, it might be better to bite the bullet and get a larger truck.
