    Inspired by some of the amazing, modern motorhomes around, I was looking
    this weekend at some Camper Trailers to see if any of them are done up in
    an ultra-modern way. To my disappointment I saw almost none of them are.

    The idea was to get some brand names and models, and search for used ones
    that are a couple of years old but still amazing. But they all look the same,
    like that ol' "country charm" look, light oak, etc..

    Here's what I like.... http://www.generalcoach.on.ca/brochures/Phantom.pdf

    Can anyone recommend some Brands that look amazing, but may also be available
    used? From what I can see, almost all brands look identical inside. Although the
    Mobile Suites people had a decent one. But all their used ones look typical.

    Thanks!
    Wes

    Airstream-top of the line for a pull behind.

    Yes, it looks like a cool way to start and the configurations appear to be almost limitless. I like the off-road capability and the fact that it can haul ATVs and motorcycles. A/C is a plus as well.

    If ya got the funds, buy an older Airstream and hire a decorator/builder to refurbish the interior.

    Tillman beat me to this - those shells don't ever seem to wear out.

    For what it is worth, I had a 30' Streamline (aluminum aero-shell like an Airstream) for the 4 years I was in College, and it was far cheaper than living in the dorm. It was also a pretty cool pad.

    **** WARNING **** Your pipes will most certainly freeze if you do not keep your propane tanks filled in the winter.
