Airstream has outfitted the Class-B Interstate 3500 with seating for eight, a kitchen, bathroom, and a convertible lounge area that at night becomes a bed for two. Bucket seats in the cockpit swivel to face a removable table that seats four at mealtime, and a 19” flat panel HD LCD/DVD provides on-board entertainment.

Additional energy efficiency is obtained by using interior LED lighting. Although the Interstate is less than 23 feet long and 80 inches wide, people up to 6 feet 2 inches can stand comfortably inside the cabin. For worry-free backing-up, the Interstate also features an optional 5.5-inch LCD screen mounted in the driver’s compartment to display the area behind the van whenever it is in reverse.

Most importantly, the engine gets 30 percent better fuel economy than a comparable gasoline engine. Source: Airstream

Since the glorious inception of MarriedToANerd.com we've been using the same theme. I figured it was about time for a new coat of paint around here. So poke around and check out our new theme. I'm planning on making some other additions to the website so keep your eyes pealed for those too. Hopefully over the next couple of weeks I'll have the time to make some of the changes I've been wanting to do for quite some time...like dual blogging! Later, Nerdy Husband aka Jeff
