One of the coolest travel trailers on the market has had a major makeover.

The new Bambi 422 travel trailer, which has been redesigned by Airstream for 2010, was unveiled at the National Boat, Caravan and Outdoor Show.

The new-look model is the most nimble and lightweight of the Airstream trailers and has been manufactured specifically for European roads and standards.

Michael Hold, sales director at Airstream Europe, said: “We are really pleased with how the redesign has worked. There is now an exposed aluminium interior and front panoramic windows, which must make it the cutest trailer on the market.

“What’s great about the Bambi is its size and practicality: It has a MIRO weight of 1080kg and loaded towing weight MTPLM of just 1320kg so you don’t need to own a 4×4 to tow one. The VW Golf Diesel 2.0 and BMW 330i are just two examples of vehicles that are more than capable of towing her and it’s great to be able to just hitch up and go.”

The new Bambi 422 still has a spacious L-shaped lounge, mid-galley and end washroom including a shower cubicle suitable for six-footers and a vacuum flush toilet.

It will go on show again, along with Airstream’s multi-award winning flagship model the International 684, at the British Leisure Show at Royal Windsor Racecourse between March 19 and 21.

The event is being billed as the Ultimate Leisure Lifestyle Show with more than 300 exhibitors expected on the banks of the Thames.
