Airstream has launched its first fully electric trailer, the Basecamp 20Xe, with a starting price of $76,900.

This model is powered by a 10.3 kWh lithium battery that supports a 30A electrical system. It features a 600W solar panel (optionally up to 900W) and a 3,000W inverter.

With space to sleep up to four people, the trailer offers options such as air conditioning, a microwave, and even a composting toilet. Airstream also includes a heating system that can use both electricity and propane.

The Basecamp 20Xe shares its size and some features with the conventional Basecamp 20 model, measuring 2.38 meters in width and 6.15 meters in length. The trailer’s structure provides two convertible sleeping areas, one at the rear and another in the main corridor.

Additionally, the trailer is designed to be towed and does not have self-propulsion capabilities, unlike Airstream’s previous concept, the eStream, which had its own motors for movement.

Beyond its battery and renewable energy features, the Basecamp 20Xe includes a removable cooktop, an outdoor shower, and add-ons such as tents and awnings. Airstream also offers various interior customization options, with two fabric types available.

The trailer is ideal for those seeking a more sustainable camping experience without sacrificing modern comfort.
