An icon of the all-American road trip meets an icon of mid-century modern architecture in the all-new 2026 Airstream Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian Limited Edition Travel Trailer. By combining Airstream’s unmistakable travel trailer design ethos with Wright’s Usonian principles, the result is something truly elegant, timeless, and modern. But it’ll only be available to a select few.

Many of the features and design elements in this one-of-a-kind, 28-foot travel trailer are classic Airstream. But it also features a few firsts. Most notable is the dual-purpose lounge/sleep area anchored by a pair of twin beds that convert to a king (the largest bed ever in an Airstream) with the push of a button. Exclusive bolster pillows, tailored slipcovers, and quilted coverlets round out the space. The front lounge also transforms seamlessly between dinette and desk as needed, making this a true live/play/work travel trailer. The entire interior is awash in daylight thanks to 29 total windows—more than any other Airstream in history.

With unprecedented access to Taliesin West (Wright’s Arizona studio and home), the Airstream design team pulled heavy inspiration from archival materials, including many unrealized renderings and drawings. The Airstream Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian Limited Edition Travel Trailer even incorporates a previously unrealized mobile kitchen concept pulled from an original 1939 Wright design. Airstream also incorporated the architect’s vision of deep-set lounge seating, one-of-a-kind furnishings, and more open-concept shelving than what’s typically found in most cabinet-heavy RVs.

“This is a dream collaboration that brings together two icons of American design,” said Bob Wheeler, Airstream’s president and CEO. “By focusing on Wright’s design principles, we were pushed to think differently about materials, textures, and small space efficiency in our floor plan.”

The aesthetic is unmistakable Wright, too. The inspiration for the color palette, for example, was pulled from a mid-50s Martin Senour paint collection that leans heavily on earthy desert hues. A custom graphic leaf pattern emblazoned on the entry door — one of the most obvious external elements that set this model apart from your “typical” Airstream — was clipped from archival work that Wright created in 1956 for House Beautiful editor Elizabeth Gordon.

Despite its strong MCM-inspired roots, the trailer’s tech feature set is thoroughly modern. That includes a JL Audio + Klipsch Sound Bluetooth stereo system and a 27-inch Smart TV with Bluetooth. USB ports and LED lighting line the cabin. An on-demand, tankless hot water system makes for easy showering and dishwashing on the go. It’s all powered by a sizable 2.5kWh lithium battery setup with 300 watts of rooftop solar to keep you going both on- and off-grid.

Most “off-the-shelf” Airstreams (if we can call them that) already garner a hefty price tag, so it’s no surprise that this ultra-exclusive model is no different. The company confirms a limited-edition numbered run of only 200 units over the next two years for the 2026 Airstream Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian Limited Edition Travel Trailer, with a price tag of just under $185,000. Crazy expensive? Yes. Are we seriously considering selling all our earthly possessions to buy one? Also yes.

BioLite solar lanterns and string lights

Last month, BioLite launched a new family of solar lanterns and string lights for campers and outdoor enthusiasts. With backcountry adventure season about to really heat up, we could not resist giving them a trial. Next time you're out in nature, whether for cold-weather camping or a mild stargazing hike in the desert, you might want to pack some along.

We tested three lanterns from the new Luci lineup — the Charge 360, the Charge 150, and the Emergency — as well as the Solar String Lights. Here are our takeaways.

Honda inspires hardcore campers to DIY their very own CR-V Dream Pod concept
Like Japan's capsule hotels, this concept SUV packs most of the comforts of home into its pint-sized cabin

Stock minivans and campervans make easy donor vehicles for DIY vanlifers. But SUVs, especially small to mid-sized models, aren't often a starting point for most custom van builds. Now, Honda wants camping enthusiasts to rethink what's possible with more ordinary "grocery-getter" SUVs. Introducing the Honda CR-V Dream Pod camper concept.

The Japanese automaker released the one-off concept to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Honda's popular CR-V SUV. While the exterior remains unchanged, the interior pulls heavy inspiration from Japan's well-known capsule hotels. Despite a significantly smaller floor plan than, say, a typical campervan, Honda managed to pack a surprising amount of creature comforts into the CR-V's pint-sized cabin.

Escapod drops Topo2 MTB: The first-ever travel trailer built for mountain bikers

Teardrop travel trailers often serve as "towable hardsided tents" designed to tote along only the absolute essentials. Many offer gear-hauling capabilities via rooftop racks, hitch baskets, and the like, too, but none (as far as we know) are purpose-built for mountain bikers — until now. Introducing the all-new Escapod TOPO2 MTB.

This latest entry in Escapod's catalog is a first-of-its-kind travel trailer that packs all of the Utah maker's best features into a single camper, then adds a boatload more just for mountain bikers. It starts with Escapod's high-performance, single-piece molded fiberglass body mated to a high-clearance suspension system with 23 inches of ground clearance — both of which are built for serious overlanding and off-road exploration. Buyers get a long list of standard features, including a 21-gallon water system, a lithium-ion battery bank, an outdoor shower, a full galley with a stove, lots of storage, and a portable fridge or cooler — the list goes on.
