Airstream Flying Cloud Midnight Flamingo: A First Look
Airstream's Midnight Flamingo: A First Look
I recently had the opportunity to tour Airstream's new Midnight Flamingo travel trailer at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. This limited-edition trailer is based on the popular 25-foot Flying Cloud model, but it features several unique upgrades that give it a more distinctive look.
Exterior Features
The first thing you'll notice about the Midnight Flamingo is its black rock guards. These are made from a durable material similar to a bed liner, so they should provide excellent protection for the trailer's lower body panels. The trailer also has black badging, black wheels, and a 3-inch lift kit.
Interior Features
Inside, the Midnight Flamingo has a dark and sophisticated color scheme. The curtains, the cabinet handles and other fixtures are black. The trailer also has a new upgraded audio system from Klipsch.
My Thoughts on the Midnight Flamingo
Overall, I think the Midnight Flamingo is a stylish and well-equipped travel trailer. I especially like the black rock guards and the upgraded audio system. However, I'm not a big fan of the dark curtains. I think they make the interior feel a bit too dark and enclosed as well as being a magnet for dust and dog hair.
Here are some of the pros and cons of the Midnight Flamingo:
Pros:
Unique and stylish exterior
Durable black rock guards
Upgraded audio system
3-inch lift kit
All-terrain tires
300W solar
200ah lithium batteries
Cons:
Dark curtains make the interior feel closed in
Some of the upgrades are cosmetic and may not be worth the extra cost
Who is the Midnight Flamingo for?
I think the Midnight Flamingo will appeal to Airstream enthusiasts who are looking for a unique and stylish trailer. It's also a good choice for people who plan to do a lot of off-roading, thanks to its 3-inch lift kit and all-terrain tires.
Additional thoughts:
The Midnight Flamingo is a limited-edition trailer, so it may be difficult to find one.
The price of the Midnight Flamingo has not been announced, but it is expected to be more expensive than the standard Flying Cloud model.
I'm curious to see how the Midnight Flamingo sells. I think it's a niche product, but it could be a popular choice for Airstream enthusiasts who are looking for something different.
