<\/p>\nAirstream introduced its new 2024 Trade Wind travel trailer with the largest\u00a0battery bank and solar array in the company’s history. It fits between the brand’s\u00a0International and Globetrotter model lines. Prices start at\u00a0$129,400, and the model is available now.<\/p>\n
The Trade Wind has three heated 270-amp-hour\u00a0Lithium Battle Born batteries for a total of 810 amp hours. There are 600 watts of solar panels on the roof, and a monitor in the cabin allows for monitoring the setup’s output. A 3,000-watt inverter\/charger can simultaneously run the microwave and 15,000 BTU air conditioner. There’s also a\u00a0SmartPlug 30-amp shore power hookup that can recharge the batteries.<\/p>\n

The batteries and solar panels allow this trailer to operate off the grid for extended periods, and Airstream also gives this model a 3.0-inch suspension lift versus its other models. This provides improved ground clearance when going off-road. The trailer rides on\u00a029.3-inch Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse tires.<\/p>\n
The Trade Wind is available solely in a 25-foot size and a single floor plan with a separate bathroom and shower, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a lounge. The kitchen cabinets have upgraded hardware to keep the doors secure when going over rough terrain.<\/p>\n
