Some times, keeping low profile is not such a bad idea altogether. That is what Airstream did at the launch of the PanAmerica- they practically did nothing. Even the product was no where to be found on the company’s own site. Now that’s taking the idea a little too further, if you ask me. What makes the product really sturdy and durable is the aluminum monocoque shell, which accounts for twenty percent less fuel consumption. It has an inbuilt garage having hookers and locks along with a foldaway ramp to keep your bikes securely.
The length of PanAmerica is a spacious 34 feet . All the models are disability friendly and the manufacturers are more than willing to customize the vehicle to making it more disable friendly, if need be. It is worthy of $85,000 that it asks for.
