Industry experts said the eStream or similar products could be game-changers. The eStream is based on a model developed a few years ago by a sister company in Germany, Dethleffs, and Airstream's parent company, Thor Industries. In addition, the company will solicit feedback from 800 potential customers who have requested information on the trailers, along with the company's dealers.

The concept eStream is fully loaded, he noted, and may not be efficient or affordable for the real world.
