• 2023 BASECAMP 16X

We are selling our 2023 Airstream Basecamp 16X Red Rock edition. It is a top-of-the-line travel trailer with a tankless hot water heater, solar panels, AC/Heat pump, microwave, etc - it is really a loaded unit. It is easy to pull with just about any vehicle with a trailer brake. It really does only have about 2000 miles on it. We have the specially shaped mattress and sheet set for the rear sleeping area. The cushions are just fine, but I am bit older and the extra cushion helps for a better night sleep.

Please email me with any questions you might have.

Here are some of the specifications:

The 2023 Airstream Basecamp 16X is a compact, off-road-oriented travel trailer designed for two people, with a lifted suspension and larger all-terrain tires compared with the standard Basecamp 16.

Sleeping & Interior

• Sleeps up to 2 adults.

• Rear seating converts into:

  • Twin seating benches (24 in × 76 in)

  • Half bed (38 in × 76 in)

  • Full bed (76 in × 76 in)

• Wet bath with toilet and shower.

• Galley kitchen with sink, cooktop, refrigerator, and available microwave option.

Off-Road / X-Package Features

The 16X differs from the standard Basecamp 16 by adding:

• Increased ground clearance

• Lifted suspension

• Aggressive all-terrain tires (ST235/75R15)

• Higher hitch height

• Enhanced capability for rough roads and dispersed camping

These upgrades make the 16X the more popular choice for boondocking and public-land camping.

Tow Vehicle Considerations

With a 3,500-lb GVWR and 450-lb hitch weight, many midsize SUVs and trucks can tow it, but you'll want to verify:

• Maximum tow rating

• Payload capacity

• Hitch/tongue-weight limits

Airstream recommends matching the trailer to a tow vehicle with sufficient towing and payload margins.

Overall, the 2023 Basecamp 16X is one of the lightest and most maneuverable Airstreams, aimed at couples who prioritize off-pavement camping, easy storage, and a tow-friendly size.
