Narrator: This shiny aluminum camper was manufactured by a company called Airstream. And they named this model after an animal. Talk a walk around it and be sure to peek inside.
Airstream called it... the Bambi! That’s not because of its shape, though. It’s because of its size.
Andrew Gardner: Wally Byam, who founded Airstream, was traveling across the continent of Africa and encountered these miniature deer called Oma bombi in the Ubuntu language. Inspired by this animal he decided to design a small version of his trailer that people could fit in their garages.
Think about all of the different ways you could actually live inside of this one little travel trailer. This is the same size as an everyday car and yet it has a kitchen inside of it, it has a bed inside of it, it has a place to eat, it has a place to go to the bathroom. It's pretty remarkable to think you can fit all of the stuff into one tiny little space.
