The World Traveler 17RB might not have the full panorama of windows that other Airstream trailers have, but given the strategic placement, it still offers views and breezes where you want them most

The dinette is also a great place to stretch out and relax during downtime

Given the loss of five feet of length, the 17RB's bed isn't nearly as large as the 22RB's oversized 80 x 80-in model, but it's still designed to comfortably sleep two at the rear of the caravan
