Wheels: Electric Airstream

We’ve all seen an Airstream, or know what one is. These iconic campers display a distinctly polished aluminum exterior, rather than paint and they feature a curved roof and ends, rather than sharp edges. Over time these “silver bullets” have gained a following and a reputation for quality. Many will be gleaming this summer attending an Airstream club gathering at the Fryeburg Fairgrounds. Airstream has carved its own path over the years, maintaining what’s widely considered a gold standard for RVs. Or, more accurately, in this case, a shiny silver standard.

Thor Industries, the parent corporation of Airstream, owns and produces 17 separate RV brands and is in a position to invest in innovations that might shape the future of campers. Thor chose the Airstream brand to showcase their idea of a tow-behind camper concept named the eStream.
