The Airstream Caravan proved its worth recently when a marketing company took the vehicle on an ambitious promotional tour across Europe.

Samuelson Wylie Associates embarked on a gruelling journey that took in 15 cities and covered more than 10,000 miles.

They staged customer and media events along the way on behalf of a US medical company, using the trailer and its awning as their exhibition unit.

Inside, they installed a treatment room as well as luxurious meeting facilities entertaining more than 300 VIPs along the way.

To tow the modified trailer, they chose a Land Rover Discovery 4, insisting that the two vehicles looked “stunning” together and performed “faultlessly”.

During the 59-day journey, the team battled with driving snow, ferocious heat and poorly maintained infrastructure.

“From mountain passes to the atrocious roads between the Finnish border and St Petersburg, the extraordinary engineering and fine build quality of both car and trailer shone through, mile after mile after mile,” they said.
