Airstream Goes Small With its New Model

Legendary motorhome manufacturer Airstream has scaled down things with its 2019 Interstate Nineteen, a vehicle that features car-like performance and safety.

At only 19’5”, the Interstate 19 is easy to drive and park. It’s a Class B motorhome that rides on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 chassis and is equipped with a 3.0-liter V-6 turbodiesel engine with an estimated fuel economy of more than 18 mpg on the highway.

Notable Mercedes safety features include collision prevention assist, lane keeping, side- and rear-view camera assist, load adaptive electronic stability program, high-beam assist, headlamp cleaning system and automatic rain-sensing windshield wipers.

Inside, Airstream equips the Interstate Nineteen with a power rear sofa that converts into a 66-by-73-inch bed, a wet bath, adjustable LED lighting, power shades throughout and Ultraleather seating. The Class B model also features DuPont Corian countertops and customizable cabinetry crafted from Italian wood. The motorhome boasts an entertainment system that includes in-dash multimedia with satellite and HD radio; smartphone connectivity and charging ports for devices; and an HD LED widescreen TV and an in-motion local TV antenna.

The Interstate Nineteen also comes with a Truma furnace and water heater offering continuous hot water, marine plank-style flooring for easy cleaning and Airstream’s signature aluminum ceiling and trim throughout.
