  Airstream basecamp has windows galore but most of them don't open and the ones that do only open a few inches. I simply adore the windows on the Ember, the screens, the shades and how they function. Just that one thing will make me want to buy an Ember over an Airstream.

  Coach is a fancy word for a trailer.

  I&apos;d miss the awning with the horse trailer, I mean Basecamp. &nbsp;OTOH, the Basecamp your kid can ride their pony right through the rear hatch. &nbsp; And the interior gives me the nostalgic feel of reminding me of my crew quarters on my frigate in the Navy, 2 decks below the main deck. That nice dark feel that made you sleepy just going down there. Ah....<br><br>Sorry to be so critical of the Airstream, but it seems they just don&apos;t include a lot for the high price they charge. &nbsp;The Ember has so much more light, features, and not so enclosed feeling. &nbsp;And a dry bathroom, and real-sized refrigerator. &nbsp; 4 cubic feet in the horse trailer is the size I have in my office, but would never cut it for more than 1 person for more than a weekend.

  Having tried unsuccessfully to shower in a basecamp, I’ll go for the Ember any day over the basecamp.

  It would be nice if ember could also include a fitting so you could put up your jack when your batteries are dead👍

  It seems hands-down to me, 171FB! Queen bed, 8 cu ft fridge, stargazer, and NO WOOD, plus that amazing suspension.

  I like the axle less hubs on the Ember. The mechanical tire brake and adjustable coupler height are hype. To me the Ember is a typical travel trailer.<br>My vote is the Airstream Basecamp X in a 16’. Versatile simplicity!

  I have a Basecamp 20x (purchased at Windish RV) and definitely prefer it to the Ember (or any other &quot;brown box&quot; competitors).<br>Airstreams hold their value better and despite some comments here, are better constructed.<br><br>The Ember is basically a beefed-up JAYCO JAY FEATHER MICRO 166FBS.

  Basic requirement for a modern off road trailer is an articulating hitch. &nbsp;Neither has one. &nbsp;These are very light off roaders at best. &nbsp;And why would ember put a fridge above the outside griddle? &nbsp;Going to be fun accessing that while cooking.
