They say this is for you to leash the dog up to while you’re camping the spiffy Interstate models don’t have that! To demonstrate this, the representative pointed to a piece of metal on the running boards with a paw print cut out of it. It’s something that you wouldn’t be afraid to let the dog walk around in or have the kids eat candy in.

The representative told me the Rangeline is for an active family with pets and kids. You might think twice about letting the family dog loose in an Interstate, for example. Sure, families can travel in Airstream’s more expensive coaches, but you’ll try to be careful in one of those because everything looks so pretty. So, my first question is why is Airstream moving downmarket?Īirstream’s representative said the Rangeline is meant to be the more family-friendly option.

Airstream is a company that normally sells luxury camper vans based on Mercedes-Benz Sprinters for $200,681 and well above. This is a camper van that’s based on a Ram ProMaster and starts at $131,882.

Let’s look into it.Īt the Open House I spoke with Airstream representatives and asked a few questions about the new Rangeline. It’s not the cheapest camper van out there, but you actually seem to get a neat bit of kit for what you pay. Thanks to the massive RV Open House, I got to tour it and its competition and found myself impressed. Last month, Autopian publisher and lover of all things Renault Twingo, Matt Hardigree, wrote about how Airstream’s new Rangeline Class B camper van is nearly perfect and almost affordable.
