Airstream Basecamp 20 and 20x gain a little size and a lot of comfort

The new Airstream 20 and 20x models add a little size to the classic Basecamp model.

And in exchange they offer a lot more usability for families. 

In addition to another seating and sleeping area, the 20 and 20x add plenty of convenience features,

Among them are a dedicated outdoor shower, increased storage and optional solar power system.

There's also an optional microwave and air conditioning.

The exterior of the Basecamp is still aluminum, though the 20x gets a protective stainless steel panel at the front to ward off dents.

We're big fans of the rugged interior fittings like the partially transparent storage doors, the snowshoe-like shelving units and more.

The Basecamp 20 starts at $45,900, and the 20x starts at 48,900.

Dealers are accepting orders now, and should receive inventory beginning this Summer.

The original Basecamp is still available as the Basecamp 16.
