THIS autumn, one of the hottest things in outdoor gear wasn't a new drone or motorised skateboard. The tech tastemakers - from Outside Magazine to Gear Patrol - collectively drooled over a recreational vehicle. That's right, an "RV" - specifically the Airstream Basecamp, a US$35,000 teardrop of aluminium that can be towed behind a Subaru.
The aerodynamic, riveted pod comes with one massive panoramic window, solar power, Italian cabinetry, and a Bose Bluetooth speaker system. It's an RV made for Instagram, not cousin Eddie, and it's been in high demand since hitting dealerships in September.
