We LOVE our Airstream travel trailer. But there are some Airstream alternatives out there that are also very nice!
But before we bought our Airstream, we considered many other RV options, including large class A motorhomes, slightly smaller class C motorhomes, and all the way down to smaller travel trailers.
With so many options, it can be difficult to choose just one!
For your viewing pleasure, here are some alternatives to Airstreams that have similar sleek designs that might be worthy of your consideration.
All of these are available for purchase as new trailers in the USA.
There are some other beautiful campers being produced in Australia and Europe right now by other manufacturers, but they’re not yet available for sale it the good ‘ole USA.
These travel trailers range in price from less than $10,000 all the way up to over $200,000, so this list represents a broad spectrum of travel trailer options.
These are listed from most expensive to least expensive options.
If you know of other Airstream alternatives that should be included in this list, please add a comment at the bottom of this post and I’ll update the list.

Summary
Airstreams are an American iconic travel trailer that has been producing trailers since the 1930s.
Since then, many travel trailer companies have come and gone, but Airstream is still producing these beautiful trailers.
(See RV Museum in Indiana to see some fantastic old trailers and other RVs throughout American history.)
Some of the newer travel trailers profiled in this post use the same sleek lines as seen in Airstreams with additional modern features. Some of these Airstream alternatives are also very promising.
If you can’t afford an Airstream right now, how about saving your quarters for one in this cute Airstream coin bank or letting the birds in your yard live in a cute silver trailer?
