All camp, no prattle. Airstream’s latest brings it together with two other western icons to build a luxury experience with more grit than the entire cast of the movie Tombstone.
The Airstream Stetson + 6666 is filled with Old-West details, vintage-looking artwork, and details inspired by those brands from the top of your hat to the bottom of your spurs.
If This Airstream Could Talk, It Would Sound Like Sam Elliott
We haven’t really seen anything quite like this before. Airstream’s classic styling has been tweaked, starting from the aluminum exterior. Weathered-look accents replace some of the usual shiny bits, while a red beltline stripe gives it a pop you won’t find elsewhere.
Then you walk around to the front and spot the cowboy artwork wrap on the front windows. When you tow this rig, it’ll feel like you’re getting chased down for rustlin’ more than just some grub.
Somewhere to Hang Your Hat
Most of the branding is on the inside, starting with (and we’re not kidding) the hat rack. You’ve got to have somewhere to hang your Stetson (sold separately).
Even before you step in, the screen door will jump out at you. The top section has an Airstream Stetson + Four Sixes logo, while the bottom half has a Stetson and a starburst motif.
Once you’re in, there is a hammered-copper kitchen sink and an oil-rubbed-bronze sink in the bathroom. The overstuffed leather couch looks like some of the nicest hide we’ve seen on wheels since the original King Ranch Fords, and it has more logos telling you about the collaboration scattered around the cabin.
One of the coolest details is the artwork on the kitchen side wall. The Stetson advertisement horse and rider is classic western, and thanks to the shiny interior walls, it’s duplicated on the main kitchen panel too, at least if the light is right.
Everything that isn’t nearly everything that isn’t metal, wood, or leather is draped in blues, grays, browns, and red tones. Airstream says the color palette is inspired by the West Texas landscape where the Four Sixes ranch — yes, it’s a real ranch and not just made up for Yellowstone — is located.
Is It Too Much or Just Right?
If you aren’t into the Western motif (or a fan of ranch owner Sheridan’s show), then the whole thing is more than a little over the top. If you are a fan, then it’s quite cool. Pardner. Live out your Rip dreams in comfort, even when you’re somewhere on the other side of nowhere.
Speaking of comfort, this is the classic 27-foot Airstream. You can get it with a queen bed or a pair of twins, and there is a convertible dinette for some more sleeping space.
If you want to get a better view of the land, lots of land where you’re camping, then Airstream’s optional and iconic rear hatch will give you that panorama.
Airstream Stetson + 6666 Is Just the Beginning
The Airstream Stetson + 6666 model comes with a 2.4kWh lithium battery, so you can run the TV and watch Paramount+ for days. It also has a 2,000W inverter and 300 W of solar panels on the roof.
Airstream will be releasing this one a little differently than most. Orders are open now, and you can place yours for the next 30 days. Pricing starts at $169,900, with production scheduled to begin next month.
If you like the idea and the execution but not the theme, watch this space. Airstream plans more Collaboration Series models with brands around the globe.
