It's basically a gussied-up Eddie Bauer edition with a $25K premium. The contribution to the National Parks Foundation represents less than 1% of the price.
You could buy the regular Eddie Bauer version and donate $25K to the foundation and get the tax write-off for yourself. Or an Oliver and donate $60K. Or a Scamp and donate $100K. With enough left to buy yourself a really nice Pendleton blanket and a couple of pillow to make your own "Pendleton Edition."
I'm sure Airstream understands their market. Clearly I don't!

I wonder what is airstream's profit margin? Price/reviews suggest me a number like > 50%. I wish my business had such huge profit...

I love to sit on real leather in the heat, it almost feels cooling. Vinyl now, that is tough on sweaty bare skin.

For what that thing cost I would rather purchase some kind of motor home. Wouldn't want to tow something that big.

Airstreams are in a class of their own. Heads turn when they come into a campground. I once saw an Airstream come unit a campground being pulled by a Porsche Cayenne. Talk about class! Most of the original Airstreams built since the 50s are still out there. They're really nice. If the price of the barrel of oil hadn't gone down I'd sell my Casita and buy one.
Happy Camping!

Hey, why stop there? You could hitch the top-of-the-line Land Yacht…
to a Bentley Bentayga…
Knock on the Cayenne owner's plebeian door and ask for the Grey Poupon...
Reverse snobbery may not be edifying, but it sure is fun!

Actually he knocked on my Casita door and asked me for Gray Poupon so I gave him the Great Value Gray Poop-on!
Happy Camping!

I suppose now that Kraft Foods owns Grey Poupon, it's only one rung above Great Value. Similarly, Airstream has passed to Thor Industries…

Their market is for gen-x'ers who are at the peak of their earning years, and/or retiring boomers who can spend $100k on a trailer. Or at least those who can get a loan for $100k for a trailer. I'm certainly NOT in that demographic!

What or who is a Pendelton? Are they trying to pull the wool over our eyes?

There is an undeniable "wow" factor when you look at a new AS. We looked at them for a couple of years. But, reading about quality issues on Airforums was troubling. It was on Airforums that I read about Oliver trailers and fiberglass in general. Once here, we never looked back. The FG community may have less "wow" but way more quality and reliability.

Pendletons
Nice shirts, nice skirts, nice blankets. Opinions are like. Hmmmmmm. Noses, everybody has one. And for my money, Escapes are the best looking trailers on the market, have the best looking owners, who have the most fun, consume the best spirits and cook and eat the best food. The also have the biggest campfires that can be seen from outer space. Top that
