!41: New Airstream Interstate: 2011

!±8± Airstream International Ocean Breeze 28'

Take the long way home- The International Ocean Breeze curves are beautiful, but they're not just for looks: the aircraft-industry born, aerodynamically-shaped exterior design lowers wind resistance — requiring less horsepower and approximately 20% less fuel than conventional box trailers. Even the wide picture windows at each end of the International are curved. Monocoque construction, lightweight materials, and a low center of gravity make towing these Airstreams an experience unlike any other travel trailer on the road. The exterior may be curvy, but we never try to cut any corners. No effort has been spared to create a living space that lets you entertain in style, relax in comfort, and stay on the road for as long as you want to. Like other Airstream Travel Trailers, the Ocean Breeze is self-sufficient. Its holding tanks, water heater, and furnace are seamlessly integrated into the body of the trailer, to maintain an aerodynamic shape. Airstream's construction process insures easy serviceability for all components. Everything, from furniture to appliances, is brought in through the door for installation. Since Airstreams can easily last for 50 years or more, this feature makes it relatively easy to redesign the interior to fit your changing needs over the years.
