Are airstreams worth the money?

Are airstreams worth the money?

The Airstream can be pretty neat and pretty fun to own, but it can also be pretty expensive. An Airstream trailer will roughly have any of the common flaws that you might find in any other RV, but it does boast its longer-lasting value, solidity, and aerodynamic properties that do make it worth the cost.

Why are Airstream campers so expensive?

The principle reason Airstreams are expensive is the Aluminium body they are so famous for. This is insulated and then an inner shell of aluminum is riveted on from the inside. Not only is the material more expensive than what other brands use, but it also takes a lot more labor to assemble.

Would you buy an Airstream again?

How much do airstreams depreciate?

An interesting thing about Airstream though, is that they don’t depreciate as much as other things do, they actually are at about the mark where they may by chance lose 30% of its value, which is pretty good when you’re looking at a trailer that can last for years.

How often do you have to polish an Airstream?

You will need to re-polish your Airstream every 1-2 years after it was initially done if you want to keep it looking decent. This shouldn’t be the same effort as the first time you have it polished. It’s just a “once-over” to bring the shine back.
