I've seen other references to an older one (ca. 1982) bought up you, aerohead, but not any offerings of recent.

Nope,so far it only exists as an old half-tone photograph in a magazine.
An idea I tried to sell Gilkison on for his APEX RV trailer,was to get a local awning company to create a welded-aluminum space-frame which mimic'd Airstream's nose,and just skin it with the UV-resistant cotton duck,or whatever it is that they use for the outdoor awnings.
It wouldn't be as 'pretty' as a hard-shell nose,but the air would love it.It would weigh essentially nothing!
It could detach and be used for a nice sun shade as well.
