Manchester City forward Erling Haaland has acquired a limited-edition Airstream caravan created in collaboration with Supreme. The 22-foot (approximately 6.7 m) model was released in 2022 in a run of around 100 units and sold out quickly. Haaland bought it in the United States and had it transported to Europe. The official launch price was $90,000; British media estimate his purchase at £67,000. The footballer said he intends to use the caravan as intended — towing it and spending the night inside.

An Indiana overlanding creator installed a 400-watt solar system on a HiperLion camper, using two 200-watt BougeRV flexible panels connected to a Redarc system through a cable gland. The main challenge was routing wires on a pop-up roof, requiring enough slack for safe movement as the camper opens and closes. The panels are secured with 3M VHB tape and extra sealant, and are rated for temperatures from -40 to 185 degrees.

Nearly 30 silver Airstream trailers gathered along the Pamlico River in Washington, North Carolina, this weekend for the Carolinas Airstream Club's Urban Rally. According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded is about $4.30, North Carolina's average is about $3.96, and many eastern stations posted $3.99.
