Elisa, you can go to ; http://www.airstream.com/ then go to, "whats new", then that will take you to the new B-16 . I have studied the new B-16, and I think it is a definite winner. Under 20K, without AC and other options. Zip Dee awnings are available, the layout is similar to the old style. With only 13 feet of interior space, there is not a lot with which to work. I am anxious to see the Inside Design model because I'm sure it will have new design parameters, and will reach out to a whole new market. As you can see, the weight is steadily creeping up, with a GVWR of 3500#. I think the use of more interior aluminum, and less heavy wood will help. This little coach is supposed to be a weekend camper, not a subsitute Excella 500. I would eliminate that big stove/oven and replace it, with a 3 burner stove top, and a small microwave over head. Most women I know in the VAC, hate to cook on these outings, and to fire up the oven in that little B-16, seems like a waste. A little stove top burner above the refrigerator, would eliminate that stove / oven combe, and create more counter and storage space. I am not a gourmet cook, but in my rally experience, which is usually in the summer months, I have never had the need to fire up the Oven, but a Microwave would be most welcome. I aspire to the philosphy that "Less is More", and my 1961 16' Bambi, at 1850 pounds, unloaded, and about 2500 lbs , loaded is more than adequate for my needs. I usually travel solo, but occasionally will travel with my son, or a companion. The Bambi is a two person coach, maximum. A tip O the hat, to Inside Design, for having the courage to attempt this project, and most of all, trying to keep it lightweight.
