DPR, Airstream was 20% down on manufacturing in 2018, so there has been a drop in orders. I am unsure as to cellular coverage at camping sites in USA, but if Australian logic was applied, it would be worth it just for the 4g LTE booster. I also believe the retrofit kit was available to be fitted to all of the old Airstream models, I may have read that wrong though.
In context though, if you are paying USD $150,000 for a trailer, what is a $20-30 month subscription fee for connectivity, remote controlling and resource management? One could even argue a reduction for insurance given the trailer can be located anywhere.
I like the long list of brands Thor has under its banner, most notably Jayco, every other van in Oz is pretty much one of them, if you can monitor resources and not have to go climb up a hill 200m to the SE of your campsite to get a feint signal at 6am to 6.30, I can see it being a very popular product here too.
