Interesting design for a compact trailer, reminds me of an updated Scamp with deluxe features. The Porsche designed Airstream concept has a lower than traditional profile, with an insulated pop up top and a smooth underside for added aerodynamic efficiency.
We have not owned a camping trailer for a few decades, opting for either tents or cabins. Tents are no longer comfortable. Cabins are the easy answer, but I to admit a compact camping trailer, something a bit larger than this Porsche/Airstream, has some appeal to me.

Airstream recently teamed up with Studio F. A. Porsche to imagine what its signature trailer might look like in the future.
The result is the Airstream Studio F. A. Porsche Concept Travel Trailer, which combines Airstream's signature smooth shape with the engineered style of products penned by Studio F. A. Porsche, the design house founded by Butzi Porsche, the designer of the 911 and the grandson of Porsche founder Ferdinand Porsche.
The shape of the trailer has been refined compared to contemporary Airstreams to improve air flow while in motion. There's also a flush underside and a suspension that can drop down, a first for an Airstream. It's all designed to reduce drag. This is important when towing with an electric vehicle.
The designers also added an insulated pop-up roof, which is another first for an Airstream. Such a roof design made it possible to lower the height of the trailer, and together with the lowering suspension, means this particular Airstream could be parked inside a home's garage.

The designers also kept Airstream's popular rear hatch option on the concept but revised the design, turning it into a two-piece unit with a conventional hatch that lifts up and a new drop-down tailgate section.
Things were also changed on the inside. The floor plan is unique to the concept and includes a seating area that easily converts from an eating area to a sleeping area measuring a generous 82x61 inches. A wet bath is incorporated into the front roadside corner, and its door can hide the toilet section.
