Original Aige Car Culture
Many people call 2020 the first year of camping in China. Perhaps it is precisely because of the epidemic that people have to expand their existing lifestyle to nature far away from the city. If you open a lifestyle app like Xiaohongshu, you will find that “Glamping” is no longer a new high-end term. During the year in the outdoors, almost all players have "gone further" in the pursuit of quality and style, and even spent huge sums of money to buy luxury camping equipment when they entered the trap, thereby gaining a beautiful circle of friends and a five-night stand. Star accommodation experience. However, abroad, people prefer camping on wheels. An accent trailer is big enough for everything Grameen has to offer. (Pictures from the Internet)
Airstream Breeze Traction Series
Just like Harley-Davidson and American muscle cars, Airstream is also known as a totem in American road culture, not just because of it It has nearly a hundred years of brand development history, and its all-aluminum body structure that has been passed down to this day also shows its unique tone and cultural characteristics. Therefore, in Lao Mei's mind, there will be a clear line between "Airstream" and "other RVs".
The aircraft-like all-aluminum body and riveting methods are the soul of Airstream. It is reported that this generation-to-generation assembly process takes 350 hours, while an ordinary white box trailer only takes about 50 hours, which means that the Airstream's body is stronger and more durable. According to statistics, more than 75 of all Airstream RVs manufactured from 1931 to the present are still in use, while the average service life of similar products is only 15 years.
Airflow has always led the technological development of trailers. For example, it uses an independent suspension structure supplemented by a high-quality rubber torsion shaft, which can absorb 50% more road vibration than traditional leaf springs, thereby providing a more stable and comfortable towing experience. In addition, the aerodynamic design of the body has obtained an industry patent, which can effectively translate into a fuel economy of up to 20%.
The trailer series currently sold abroad includes 7 models, among which the entry-level Basecamp is priced at only US$39,100, and the ceiling-mounted Classic series is priced at US$161,900. In addition, Airstream also provides self-propelled RV products based on the chassis of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter2500 van. It’s worth mentioning that airflow is not out of reach. It was briefly introduced to China through formal channels a few years ago, but sales were bleak, and second-hand cars are a scarce resource.
Crawler off-road trailer
Crawler is a Turkish RV manufacturer headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Its products mainly include self-propelled RVs, trailer-type RVs, rooftop tents, etc. As you can see from the picture, the elegant retro designs presented by Crawler and Airstream form two extremes. Emphasizing the hard-core off-road style, the usage scenarios are mostly concentrated on roads and campsites. It can be said that it is an exclusive RV product created for time travel players.
TRC428 is the representative of Crawler brand’s cost performance and functionality. Its body design is perfectly suited to the harshest road conditions. For example, the dual-shock independent suspension similar to the structure of a hard-core off-road vehicle, the high-strength all-aluminum cabin, and the considerable approach/departure angles can make it smooth off-road. Surprisingly, thanks to the lightweight design of aluminum, the TRC428 has a curb weight of only 770kg, so it does not put too much pressure on the tractor.
Crawler is also good at expanding and optimizing interior spaces. Taking TRC428 as an example, it has two ordinary beds with an area of ??195*205cm and 165*175cm respectively, which can easily accommodate 5 people sleeping at the same time. In addition, it is also equipped with outdoor shower heads, cabinets, air conditioners, water heaters, toilets, and 4kW diesel heaters. The living facilities are complete. In fact, in addition to the Crawler brand, similar products also include the Australian Black series sold in China, with a price of about 150,000 yuan.
