Frequently asked
Does the Airstream Bambi 20FB hold its value better?
Airstreams typically retain 70-85% of value after 10 years vs 30-50% for conventional Travel Trailers like the Dutchmen Kodiak Ultimate 3361RKSL. Over a 10-year ownership, the resale gap often covers most of the purchase-price premium.
Why does the Kodiak Ultimate have 3,485 lbs of cargo?
Its 11,220 lb GVWR less 7,735 lb dry weight leaves 3,485 lbs for water, propane, gear and add-ons. That's an unusually high cargo margin and makes it good for long trips with bikes, generators or kayaks.
Which one is easier to tow into national parks?
The Airstream Bambi 20FB at 20.58 ft fits every national park campsite. The Dutchmen Kodiak Ultimate 3361RKSL at 37.4 ft is too long for many older park loops; check site length limits before booking.
