I couldn't get into O'Brians style for some reason, too much nautical stuff for me.

Griffin went into Korea with his series. I just read that one.

OK, we tried three of these. They are in the "OK" range, but they didn't transport me to Paris at all.

What's up with this?

Is this the modern Airstream?

I passed one of these today and couldn't believe that it said "AIRSTREAM" on the back.

too small for me

It's a "Basecamp" model made by Airstream but it's just one of many models they make. It's a niche product designed specifically for back-country hikers/campers. It's small and spartan, but made for better offroad travel so you can tow it behind your offroad 4x4 vehicle and make it deeper into the back country than you could with a more conventional RV. Honestly it's kind of a gimmick and never sold all that well, I don't know if they even make them anymore.

The more conventional Airstreams are still being made and they look similar to how they've looked for the past 70 years or so.

I like the flags. My wife wants to camping also, at a Hilton. She doesn't get the RV thing, I think because in France it has a low low class implication.

They're considered to be pretty low-class by lots of folks here in the USA as well, but I've never much cared what other folks thought of me.

Here's my new RV, with flags flying.

It is equally LESS cool, and MORE functional, than the Airstream was.

I had fun doing it, but it was with other folks' RVs. I had a plan way back to retire and sell nearly everything and set out in a van RV whatever they call them to see the world.

Yeah my i s c & a aggie wife has talked about wanting to do that. Although, she really wants a Class A motorhome, not just a B-Van. Something like the below, which costs upwards of a million dollars. She's always had expensive tastes...
