The excellence of Airstream comes at a hefty cost, but if the twin-axle Colorado caravan is for you, your investment will keep you happy for years.
Whether you think it’s a Marmite ‘love it / hate it’ look or not, the design is flawless. If it’s not for you, that’s one thing, but there’s no denying how many heads are going to turn on the road and the pitch. On average, 350 hours of Ohio handcrafting go into the 1200 square feet of treated aluminium – or perhaps we should say aluminum – using 3000 rivets; with the fresh water, grey water and black water tanks built into the frame. It’s a beaut of engineering, inside and out.
When not in bed-mode, the fully-adjustable telescopic table pops up for convenience, but it’s in the kitchen where the Colorado stands out. Bring the heat with a Dometic three-burner hob, oven and grill, and chill out with the Dometic 190-litre fridge or 35-litre freezer compartment (even better than the Missouri’s 110-litre fridge and 12-litre freezer). The kitchen workshop offers plenty of prep space, with deep draining grooves for easy cleaning into the stainless-steel Franke sink. As in the rest of the living space, there are windows everywhere, meaning that daytime dining is easy to pull together, and the hand-crafted Italian cabinetry offers plenty of space for storage.
