Why are airstream RVs so expensive?

I dont get it. Are they really that much better or are you really paying more for the iconic look.

I think it is similar to buying a BMW or Mercedes. I hear the materials are high quality. However, I’ve also heard they are not as good as the used to be. Personally, I don’t like how close they are to the ground. We camp in Colorado where roads are tough and you need a higher clearance vehicle. Also, the tanks capacity on some of the smaller trailers is very small compared to other brands.

They are well made and have great styling. Have a great feel when you walk inside. You are paying for the amount of labor that goes into them and for the name, hype and coolness factor as well. I agree with Rebecca_H that they are kind of like a Mercedes or BMW where people will say, Oh you have a … My little trailer has what those do at a fraction of the price. They are cool though …
