Airstream's best-selling trailer since its 2016 debut, the Basecamp 16X has built a cult following among couples and solo travelers who want genuine off-grid capability without a massive tow rig. At just 2,700 lbs, it's one of the few Airstreams you can pull with a midsize SUV, yet it still delivers that legendary build quality. Owners consistently rate towing at nearly a perfect 5/5. Inside, the flexible layout does double duty as sleeping space and gear storage, and the wet bath keeps things functional without eating up precious square footage. It's a tight, intentional package designed for people who'd rather be somewhere remote than somewhere comfortable.

Take your adventures off the beaten path with the 2026 Airstream Basecamp 16X, a rugged, lightweight travel trailer built for explorers who want premium quality in a compact, go-anywhere design—available now at Campers Inn RV.
Built by Airstream, the Basecamp lineup redefines what a small travel trailer can do, and the 16X is the ultimate expression of that philosophy. Measuring just 16 feet 2 inches long with a GVWR of 3,500 lbs, this single-axle trailer is easily towable by many midsize SUVs, making it one of the most accessible ways to step into premium RV ownership.
What truly sets the 16X apart is its off-road capability. Equipped with a factory 3-inch lift kit, all-terrain tires, and increased ground clearance, this model is designed to handle rough roads, trails, and remote campsites that traditional trailers simply can’t reach.
Inside, the Basecamp 16X is a masterclass in efficient design. The convertible rear lounge transforms into a full 76" x 76" bed, giving you a comfortable sleeping space without sacrificing daytime functionality. Bench seating, removable tables, and smart overhead storage make the interior flexible enough for relaxing, dining, or storing gear.
The compact kitchen is fully equipped with a two-burner stove, sink, refrigerator, and optional microwave, all positioned along the curved wall for maximum efficiency. Despite its size, the trailer also includes a wet bath with shower, toilet, and sink, giving you true independence wherever you camp.
Adventure-ready features continue throughout the unit. The large rear hatch door allows easy loading of bikes, kayaks, and gear, while exterior protections like stainless steel rock guards and side skirts help defend against debris on rugged terrain. With 21 gallons of fresh water capacity and off-grid capabilities, the Basecamp 16X is built for extended exploration.
And of course, it carries Airstream’s iconic DNA—featuring a that not only looks timeless but is built for long-term durability and resale value.
