Airstream calls its latest travel trailer its first “electric-first” model. What does that mean? Features that use modern technology to help keep you off-grid for longer. The new Basecamp 20Xe includes more than just a bigger battery; the company describes it as having a “focus on energy independence.”
Adds On-Grid Functions to Off-Grid Camper

The Xe starts with Airstream’s Basecamp 20X. The company’s compact travel trailer is designed to be towed by SUVs and smaller trucks, and to be taken further from paved roads.
Basecamp 20 is a three-sleeper that weighs just over 3,400 pounds. The X means bigger tires, more ground clearance, window guards, and stone protection versus the standard Basecamp — features designed for off-grid life, or at least helping you get to that backcountry site.
The Basecamp 20Xe elevates that by trying to help you stay off-grid for longer once you’ve arrived, starting with a new inverter-fed power system.
