Always thought Airstreams were cool.... for some this might be the "FWC of the Airstreams:

I have a neighbor who has been following them and going to purchase one.

They are nice and not very cluttered inside.

Still don't like to tow anything.

I'll stick with my Bobcat.

When the second edition of the basecamp showed up the Lady loved the photos and videos. We traveled down to the Bay Area to see it in person. We did not like it, especially for the asking price. The Bambi - for a bit more money - was a much much nicer trailer.

 

If someday we add a small trailer to our adventure gear, it will most likely be a Casita from our research thus far. Half the price makes it even more attractive.

My thoughts also on the Basecamp,very expensive. The Casita is IMO a better value and even lighter to tow.

BUT I'll still stick to the ATC.

That is funny... a long time ago my wife and I were doing the Skyline drive then the Parkway by motorcycle...we ended up going to Charleston and coming home via the outer banks (it is a shame they let so much development there...Cape Cape was saved by the National Seashore 50 years ago...but I digress...as usual) ... we passed a trailer in tow (had a bumper sticker ...I go where I'm towed to) .. .. we folded and had a nice chat with the couple who was renting it and loved it and it was a Casita... I thought it looked light. At that time it was just a fanciful thought.... I am happy as can be with the Eagle... 

I just like the look of them instead of the 'road barns' ....streamlined like a Buck Rogers Art Deco Rockets. 

 

Reminds me of the movie "Raising Arizona" ... watching the sun set

Back in 1970-71, I was part of a team that tried to get the National Seashore extended north through Corolla. At that time, only the Copper roofed duck hunting lodge, a PO and a few other things were there. Took many photos of landscape, birds, plus aerial photos. We created a booklet and made presentation to Mo Udall & others. However, we failed to convince Washington of the value of expanding the National Seashore.
Actually, I always suspected that we just raised awareness of the area as a gem for vacation home development for the elites in DC as that is apparently what happened. I looked at satellite photos of the area a couple of years ago & was blown away by the scope of development.
