I don't think you can get a new one in the USA now, but when I looked at them a couple of years ago, $100k. Very nice design, especially compared to the Sportsmobile & Roadtek, but also alot more $$. Looks like they have changed over to a different model this year w/ Westfalia not in the picture? http://www.airstream.com/products/2008-fleet/touring-coaches/ interstate/photo-gallery.html That's was close as you are gonna get to a 21st Century Westy in my mind, not sure about the new Interstate model? YMMV, Mr. BZ-more than what I wanna spend, but very nice |
