Small enough to follow the road less traveled yet thoughtfully equipped for comfortable camping, the Used 2018 Airstream Basecamp 16 is an adventure-focused travel trailer built for active travelers. Measuring just 16 feet 3 inches long and 7 feet wide, the Basecamp 16 has a 2,585-pound unit base weight, 3,500-pound GVWR, and 915 pounds of carrying capacity. Its compact single-axle design makes it highly maneuverable, while Airstream’s aluminum construction, torsion-axle suspension, and distinctive aerodynamic profile give it the durability and character expected from the brand.
Inside, the Basecamp 16 uses a flexible rear living area that transitions from seating and dining space into sleeping accommodations for two, allowing the same area to adapt throughout the day. The galley includes a 3 cu. ft. two-way refrigerator, two-burner cooktop, sink, storage, and practical preparation space, while the onboard wet bath keeps the trailer self-contained for trips away from campground facilities. Large windows and skylights bring natural light into the cabin, and the rear opening makes it easier to load outdoor equipment and camping gear for the next adventure.
The 2018 Airstream Basecamp 16 is especially well suited for travelers who value mobility and outdoor exploration. Standard equipment includes a 14,300 BTU Truma Combi Eco Plus heating system, 22-gallon fresh water tank, 29-gallon combination waste tank, solar pre-wire, exterior hot and cold shower, front stone protection, and an enclosed, insulated, heated underbelly. A 160-watt solar package and 9,200 BTU air conditioner were available as factory options, adding even more capability when equipped. For buyers searching for a lightweight used Airstream that is easy to maneuver and ready for active camping trips, the Basecamp 16 delivers a distinctive combination of versatility and iconic design.
