For many women, traveling solo in an Airstream isn’t just about seeing new places—it’s about rediscovering themselves. Across rallies, club events, and quiet campsites, women share a familiar story: the joy of setting out alone and the clarity that follows. It’s a journey of liberation, reflection, and personal growth.

Airstreaming Solo in Single-Axle Travel Trailers
Airstream's single-axle lineup of travel trailers feature nimble, easy-to-tow models that weigh in under 5,000 pounds. They're lightweight enough that you may even be able to tow them with the SUV or light-duty truck you already have sitting in your driveway.

Airstream Basecamp Travel Trailer
The Basecamp Travel Trailer is built for those who crave adventure and the freedom to roam. In Model Year 2026, Basecamp's previoulsy optional X-Package became standard on 16- and 20-foot Basecamp models. Featuring a 3-inch lift, rugged tires, stone rock guard protection, and more, Basecamp 16X and Basecamp 20X are perfect for adventurous women who crave getting farther afield than ever before. It's available in 16- and 20-foot floorplans.
Compact yet rugged, Basecamp is designed to follow wherever your curiosity leads—from snowy mountain passes to remote forest trails.

It’s not just about getting there—it’s about enjoying every moment once you arrive. With comfort and durability packed into a small footprint, you’re free to pack up and go wherever the road—or trail—calls, with nothing holding you back.
Basecamp Xe: More Power for Off-Grid Adventure
Take adventure to a new level with Basecamp Xe. Engineered for limitless adventure, Basecamp Xe is your gateway to off-grid exploration with all the comforts of home. It builds on the popular Basecamp 20 model, enhancing its capabilities with a robust suite of power and energy features.

The fully inverted electrical system powers every outlet in the trailer—even off-grid—allowing you to run essential systems like the furnace, hot water heater, and optional appliances such as the air conditioner and microwave.

Tips for Solo Airstreaming
Learn to Sit Still
One of the most powerful lessons solo travel teaches is how to be still. In a world that constantly demands movement and productivity, learning to sit quietly with your thoughts can feel revolutionary. At first, solitude might feel uncomfortable or even daunting. But over time, it becomes a source of strength. Sitting alone by a campfire with a warm drink, lying in the grass under the sun, or simply listening to the wind rustle through the trees—these moments allow your mind to slow down and your senses to awaken. You begin to notice the small details: the crackle of the fire, the scent of pine, the rhythm of your breath. These quiet rituals help you feel more present, more alive, and more connected to the world around you.
Explore Your Surroundings
Nature is a powerful antidote to loneliness and a constant source of inspiration. When you're feeling isolated or restless, stepping outside can shift your entire mindset. Go for a walk through the woods, hike a nearby trail, or simply wander around your campsite. Let curiosity guide you—pause to watch ants build their tiny empires, learn the names of wildflowers, or listen to birdsong. These small acts of exploration help you feel grounded and engaged. They remind you that you're part of something bigger, and that the world is full of wonder waiting to be discovered.
Read and Reflect
Books are excellent travel companions, especially on rainy days or quiet evenings. Reading while on the road offers more than entertainment—it’s a chance to slow down and think deeply. Whether you’re diving into a novel, exploring a memoir, or reading long-form articles, the act of focused reading helps sharpen your mind and expand your perspective. It encourages you to form your own opinions, reflect on your experiences, and even dream about future adventures. A good book can transport you to another world, while also helping you better understand your own.
Try Something New
Solo travel opens the door to creativity and curiosity. With fewer distractions and more time to yourself, it’s the perfect opportunity to explore new hobbies or revisit old interests. You might pick up a travel-sized guitar and learn to play your favorite songs, or dive into the world of photography and capture the beauty of your surroundings. Maybe you’ll explore local farmers markets and experiment with regional ingredients in your cooking, or study the fascinating world of mushrooms in the Pacific Northwest. You could even start a video journal to document your journey and share it with friends and family. These new pursuits not only enrich your travel experience—they also help you grow, stretch your imagination, and connect with the places you visit in meaningful ways.
