Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I was the Toronto GiantRV show today and they were showing the new rebirth of the Shasta. I only took one photo with my cell phone, but it was very cool. Has the wings, and the interior is modern retro feel. Upon entering at the front, there is a half loveseat done in grey/red colouring. The rear dining area has wraparound seating which breaks down into a double bed. The sink/counter are is done in a retro patterned aluminum top. I have posted a photo of it in my gallery.
The retail on it was around $18-19k C$.[/img]

Edit - picture is now in my gallery

I noticed the Shasta Airflyte 16 at our local RV show a few weeks ago as well; the dealership clains they got the first one shown in Canada, especially for the Edmonton show.

The Shasta's appearance is very retro and I like it; the interior is likely very unlike the original but has retro touches (chrome counter edging like an old kitchen table) and lots of style; the construction is completely modern (and conventional); and the general level of parts and accessories is premium (glass-covered sink, big skylight, high-end windows etc). This is a product for a well-heeled specialty market. It is not light for the size.

Airstream is also showing a concept model (not production yet) called the Scout, which is another "canned ham" but not necessarily a copy of a specific classic design.

There's also the R-Pod, a generally teardrop-shaped (but regular travel trailer layout) design with several size/layout choices. One interesting touch: the spare is mounted on a carrier which inserts in the 1.25" square hitch-style receiver, so it can be easily removed, or replaced with other accessories such as a bike rack. I found that the tapered tail and rounded front interfered less with the usability of the interior space than I expected.

It's retro year in the trailer world!

That was the Airflyte 12; the other Shasta (the Airflyte 16) has bunks up front.

This URL leads to a review and they have the exact model they are displaying in Toronto.
