Airstream International 23FB
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $97,200.
dry weight 5,000 lb + fresh water (37 gal, full) 309 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb (capped at its own rating). Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 23FB's published weights changed mid-run.
