Thank you for posting. Actually seeing someone who lives in their camper is way better than watching a dealer sell you their product. You are showcasing your home. Big difference and a Big help to those of us who are in the market.
I wasn’t going on comment, but as we have had some of the same issues with our Airstream. You need to go to a dealer or the factory and have your door adjusted. You shouldn’t have to slam it to get it to close. It may just need to be tightened up, but as it’s still under warranty have it adjusted. For your windows use an old credit card, not keys to break the seal. Treat the seals with Aero 303 protectant. It will take about 3-4 applications and then they will open normally, reapply whenever things start to stick. The gap between your outdoor storage and the inside is another dealer or factory service trip. It’s normal to have to have items fixed, even on a new unit. Open tickets with Airstream service and send them pics/videos. Once you have that done, you can schedule service at the factory. When you open the tickets let them know about the lift struts on your bed and they can send you new ones. They just snap into place and take less than a minute to replace.
Another excellent, well constructed video. We made a dislike list on AirForums about our 2004 Airstream 30’ Classic. We got a reaction of “Don’t bring up the bad stuff.” Your honesty is refreshing, and all your dislikes are valid. You are making your trailer your home in grand style, and it will work out as it did for us. Thanks for continuing to share your adventure.
Thanks for the honesty about the Airstream! Still looking at getting one, but so many people will never point out any flaws. I love how you were able to overcome the obstacles that this model gave you....and the curls look good. 😉
I had an Airstream and sold when I moved overseas. When I returned I went with a cheaper manufacturer and it was horrible, then I bought a ‘high-end’ white box trailer which was much more luxurious, but still have a lot of issues with manufacturing flaws. After a few years of this I went back to an Airstreams. They are not perfect and like all trailers need some work, but Airstreams are by far the best overall trailers out there. Also the support is good and most importantly resale value is unmatched. My recommendation is that if you have the means do it. Good luck with whatever you decide.
Great video! We installed “window poppers” to assist with the window seals. Also lube the seals with silicone on a paper towel. Never have to go outside - ever.
Wow thank you for being so honest. Such a disappointment to hear their quality isn't what it used to be. I would absolutely be upset with the quality. Hit up a airstream dealer and see if they can fix any of the issues on your list!
Thanks for share your dislikes about your airstream. We had a similar problem with our door. Airstream fixed the latch for free. Now our door closes and latches easily. I am shorter than you. I use a broom to turn on and off the ceiling fan. Lastly, to release the window, use a credit card to work the window loose from the gasket. I hope these tips will help and be easy for you.
The windows, entry door, water leaks at the shower, and cold interior walls are not nit-picky, and are not unique to your particular trailer. The door is a warranty issue for sure. As for the ceiling fan, replace it with a MaxxFan unit with a remote control. 10 speeds, bi-directional, with built-in opening cover that can be open in the rain. The slowest speeds are very quiet.
Nice video and very honest, I replaced the struts under our bed so it would lift up our new heavier mattress, what a nice change, I can lift it by myself now and it always stays up.
Never apologize for the curlyhair, it is awesome!! You look so much like one of my Granddaughters, it's spooky. Anyway, my wife and I are retiring and shopping for an RV or travel trailer, so your videos have been very helpful. THANKS!!
I am currently renovating a 79 sovereign. I am considering keeping it myself and selling my class A. I'm so glad you did this video. I feel like I can make a better decision about keeping it.
Astonishing that such niggles like the window seal and the shower leak should persist after Airstream’s decades of experience! I’d be furious. Great video, as always.
Someone has probably already mentioned this (haven’t read all 350+ comments), but an old credit card works to break seal on outside. I have used silicon spray and it works for a day or two. We spent 3 months in our FC 25 this past summer and had very few problems. We love it. The fact that the windows are hard to open means they keep rain and wind outside and when running the AC they keep the cool inside. Good channel! Thanks
I good call. I also stick a hotel key card in the window when closing. This usually prevents it from sticking but if it does stick a bit the card can easily be slide along the bottom to unstick it
Great video. I don’t think you’re being nit picky, and the items you point out aren’t really personal preferences. I appreciate the. Honest review! Defiantly some things I will keep in mind.
Great video sharing your observed downsides to ownership. A few of your negatives are exactly why we chose our 20’ FB Flying Cloud. I like the look of the International upper sliding doors but preferred the lift up upper storage lockers of the Flying Cloud for ease of access to items and the clean look of solid wooden doors over transparent sliding doors. We too have under bed storage which stows 4 of those bins you showed plus several smaller ones but our bed platform does not raise so I resort to crawling under the bed to switch out bin access but hey, it still a lot of storage. When we’ve taken trips spanning multiple seasons for multiple months, having a place to store off season clothing and gear are great. Sticky windows always a problem but never use a sharp key which could cause damage. Instead, use an old credit card which is perfect for breaking the seal. You’ve made the bedroom area your own with your clever use of fabric shower curtain! Agree with your issue about limited kitchen counter work areas, that’s one of the biggest reasons we chose our model, our kitchen has best features with double sink and lots of counter space. But we don’t live in ours full time, just use it for luxury getaways!
Wow. Very well presented. I admire your resourcefulness in finding effective work arounds for the obstacles you've encountered. The suction device for the windows is brilliant. The kitchen counter problem seems insurmountable. So I'm grateful for your highlighting that aspect. Cooking involves lots of chopping and you don't want to develop back problems just so you can eat nutritious food. For those annoying LED lights on your appliances, look for DIM IT light dimming sheets or LED light stickers in online shops. They are very effective and can be stacked on top of each other to increase their effectiveness. For a total block, use electrician's tape. When caulking, for nice neat straight lines put down painter's tape to create a border. After applying the caulk, and smoothing it with a wet finger, remove the painter's tape before the caulk begins to set. (Saw an RV RUclipsr wearing a t-shirt that read "RV-ing: Fixing things in beautiful locations.")
Hi Sarah! I think its important that you talk about both the pros AND the cons of being an Airstream owner. I really appreciate it. The information you shared helps people who may be considering purchasing an Airstream (or any other type of travel trailer) know what to think about before making a decision. Stay safe!
our husky loves her crate in our RV and I appreciate you sharing the things you do not like maybe Airstream will address those issues for buyers, I love the look of Airstream but not sure I'd want to live in one full time
This is a terrific review. You kept it positive which makes the negatives you report, credible. I owned a 2003 19' Bambi which I loved, but sold it when I needed to fund a start up business. The business was built and now sold and I am back in the market for a new trailer to travel the Americas in my retirement. I would default to the Airstream 19'-22' but am seeing many reports of shoddy construction, and quality control issues just as you are reporting. This has caused me to look closely at the NuCamp T@b400, a well built alternative...similar but different. Or, I may consider a well priced used Airstraeam, pre 2020 (Covid). In any case, keep up the great work. I pray honest reviews such as yours have inspired #Airstream to do better. It is an iconic brand with a valuable reputation; built over nearly 100 years, by hard work and attention to detail.
For the sticking windows, use a credit card instead of a key (or your nifty suction cup) and then treat the window seals with silicone lubricant. You only have to treat them once or twice a season and they don't stick. I did mine today! You are right, all floor plans have compromises. I opted for the 20 foot to get more counter space and I have been using mine for six years and I'm happy (but not full-time). Take care and best wishes for your next position. PNW isn't too bad in summer (if it ever gets here).
Hey Sarah, I thought this was some clickbaity "I hate my Airstream!" title where you would then not bring up anything of value once people clicked on the icon. In fact, you've got some real valid points that you make. First of course, you're in a small trailer. Some of the things you talk about are generic to any small travel trailer. But you also point out some very unique Airstream "bugs" that we AS owners just have to learn to love. I'll start with opening the widows. I don't use a key, I use an old credit card and from the outside you just run the card around the window seals. Once you've broken the seal you should be good to go unless you close the windows and leave them closed for a several days. I've tried various lubrications and they only last so long. Goodgle "airstream window poppers" and you'll see an fairly easy to install product that can permanently fix the issue. They are small buttons that are drilled in the inside window sill with springs on them. When your window sticks, you just push the button (from the inside) and it will pop the window. Unfortunately, they seem to be sold out. I am considering just drilling a small hole in each window sill so I can push a small wooden dowel thru it to pop the windows from the inside. If your door is really hard to close, you may want to take it to a dealer for an adjustment. You can also try some door lock or lithium grease where the lock mechanism grabs the door post. If you feel mechanical at all, unscrew the door lock panel from the inside and put a bit of grease on the parts that contact each other. It can make the door much easier to open and close. People look at airstreams and think they must be very well insulated because they kind of look like a thermos bottle. This is wrong. The aluminum skins (inside and out) have a very thin layer of insulation between them. If it's very humid where you are, you can see the condensation outside and sometimes inside. We're in Florida and we carry a small dehumidifier to help out the AC. We've had many RVs over the years. We've had an Airstream for about a year now and I think we like it the best. Ours is bigger (a 30' Globetrotter) and it does have more storage and room. It also has tons more windows which is one of the biggest attractions for us. It also does not have slide outs which we think is a plus. Good luck with yours!
Get some Window Poppers. They are easy to install and solve the sticking window problem. Simple, but brilliant invention!! And don’t slam the door using the handle. It will eventually come off in your hand and leave you trapped inside. Your door is in serious need of adjustment. We had to take ours to Jackson Center to get it working properly.
Sarah, a tip for you for self defense if needed. Keep a can of WASP spray nest to bed & another centrally located handy. They spray 15 feet and will stop someone that needs that.
Very nice and honest review. I'm sure you will figure out little ways to make things easier. Command strips are a blessing for sure. Loved seeing your pup spread out on your bed. Beautiful dog. Can't wait for the next video. Thanks for sharing!
This is a really excellent video. There is so much free advice to help Airstream make a better trailer. As an owner, they really owe it to you to send someone out to fix all the issues you have found with yours. jmo Great video
Hey Sarah. I just found your channel. I follow another U-Tube channel and they live full time in a Airstream. In the last 18 months they have had and solved a lot of the issues you have. Wanderlocal is the name of their channel. I definitely remember the door issue and they solved it. Lauren and Daniel have just had a baby but are still going to travel full time. You may like to watch or communicate with them. Good luck and travel safe.
You are correct on your issues with an Airstream. But these are all what you get with almost all RVs...To keep at moving, 65 plus mph, house sealed up you will contend with most of these problems. Campers are all about give and take. They are "compromised " in almost every area. Be glad you got an Airstream as your list would be 3 to 4 times longer with most all other brands. If a camper is "light weight " it will have many more issues. Loved your video and have a great adventure !! Eddy and Julie
I love your new logo!!! It’s so cool!! I’m thinking about purchasing an Airstream, but you’ve convinced me to keep searching for a older, bigger (more windows) Airstream, even though I would be just one woman and a dog too. Also a husky, so I love what you’ve created under the bed by removing the door. I like the bigger Flying Cloud size, but would really like about 28 feet with the bathroom in the back like yours. I’ve seen an old Excella like that. I DON’T want a shower on one side & powder room on the other. Weird. Nor do I want twin beds in the back. I’m pretty sure I want a front table bed & a bunk room to turn into a living room after watching you & others! More to tow, which brings issues & a bigger tow vehicle, but I want space AND an Airstream!! Thank you so much for this video and the tools video!!! Both are so appreciated!!! ♥️
Adapting to a living space can be a struggle... especially if it's being shared with spiders! Good luck with the work hiatus. Totally digging your new logo. So smart!
Great video Sarah. I personally never understood the airstream. It seems like you pay a lot of extra money for something that is less than in almost every way. No slides, all the little issues you mentioned in the video. Obviously everyone doesn't feel this way because there are a lot of raving airstream fans, I personally would never get one. I hope airstream sees this video and sends you to a dealer to fix the fixable issues you are having. Although in most instances it sounds like you are creating effective workarounds. I really like how you create videos and tell your story, you do a great job!
I have an Airstream and love it and believe it was worth it. Models vary and our 30 foot Flying Cloud does not have any of the issues that Sarah has shared, so know that each Airstream model is different, as well as each person's experience. Airstreams are well-made and many people love them. :)
If not mentioned...make sure you are level front to back and side to side, door should close when level. Shower shouldnt pool if level either. Love your set up.
Good video! Nothings perfect I guess… In our 22FB (Bambi) I have to agree with you on a couple of things: Yep, you need to slam that door. Not sure about an warranty issue, but a real pain for neighbours and spouse. I find that the toilet is super awkward when sitting on it due to the box pedestal. Seems high. Finally if you have 2 people getting out of bed in the middle of the night means the other is gonna wake up. Btw really like the fact you have a vent over your stove. We love our Airstream, but as said earlier “nothings perfect”
This was helpful. I am considering downsizing from a 28' 7,000lb. stick-built travel trailer and am intrigued by the single axle Airstreams. Bambi looks good, as does Caravel. Interesting comment on the counter space. The 20FB does have more. but there are compromises. Airstream has become an icon of perfection and quality in my mind. Good to know they are not perfect. Thanks!
Instead of using a towel to soak up drips I use a synthetic chamois whenever I anticipate water dripping on the floor, like if I am fixing a sink or taking something still wet out of the washer. They soak up a lot of water and you just ring it out and hang it up to dry. It dries very quickly and you don't have to wash it every time. Look on Amazon.
We've had about 8 different types of RVs. What you have shown is not knit picking at all!! Very valid points, except maybe the kitchen space. There is no space and you a newbie, so that's a mistake. Great job on your vlogging. Also really enjoy your narrative videos. 👍🏻👍🏻
Lol, I've always straightened my hair and now I've lived in my Airstream for 10 months. I've gotten a lot of compliments on my natural curls and your curls are so cute. I live in my 25-foot Globetrotter and have experienced almost all of the same issues. The shower seal and the front door are probably my two biggest annoyances. But, as you said, it's a fabulous life and I'm loving it too! Cheers~
About the shower: I hung a plastic shower liner inside my shower, around the back wall, over the door, all the way to the shower head,. It keeps all water out even when I don't close the shower door. No water on the floor. I also rerouted the shower head. I have it on the outside wall now, not the inside wall. I grab it off the hook, spray myself down, hang it back up, wash, rinse, done. Hope this helps if you can envision it.
I haven't read all the comments, Sarah, but put some silicon on your window seal and that should solve your stickiness. I use an aerosol silicon spray on my car rubber. You can spray it on a cloth and run that over the rubber when you have the window open.
If you can see the plumbing under your shower pan I would take a look. It could be leaking from where the drain pipe connects to the shower pan or some other attachment point and then going under the wall under the shower door and into the bathroom. It looks like you have the shower door sealed up really well. One thing about RV's, and there are no exceptions, things will always go wrong. It doesn't matter how much you spend on one either. I had a guy with an $800,000 diesel pusher tell me that his slide walls leaked and water intruded under the tile floor in the living room and trashed it. I think having a rig with no slide outs gives a person an immediate advantage, one less thing to cause problems!!
I agree with everything Thomas said except the slide. I have a little 20' travel trailer and the slide doubles the space and we have never had a problem with it. I couldn't imagine living in such a tight space without the slide.
great video - im not planning to buy an airstream anytime soon but your points were absolutely valuable. hint - id change title for he video and thumbnail
Hello, Try sliding a credit card between the glass and the seal of your windows, that’ll do it. I agree, a sharp object, like a key, may tear the seal. Yes, 303 is highly recommended to condition the window seals to prevent “sticking”. I fear you may shatter the glass with the suction cup.
Have you thought of inverting a tray over the stove top to use as a cutting surface? Or just putting a cutting board on it or over the sink. To reach high things, like your vent, you can get a grabber (reach extender), usually found in pharmacies in the handicapped equipment section. I use mine for everything, from picking up dropped things, to reaching stuff in the top cupboard. Jon in rural BC, Canada
You can get a grabber type tool at Harbor Freight in the US for $4-5. Super useful tool. great for picking things off the ground if your back hurts, or reaching things up high
Great video! I was on the fence between the 20', 22' and the jump to dual axle 23'' Flying Cloud. While I preferred the layout of the 22', I went with the 20' because we cook a lot and need countertop space. The negative with the 20' is the smaller bed. We sleep at opposite ends and that works for us, especially since the bed is so long and we don't overlap too much. This makes it easy for the person on the inside to lift part of your legs over the other person to get out, rather than your entire body. The small bed of the 20' would be a deal breaker for some ppl, but for camping we make it work. If I were living in it, I would have more seriously considered the 23' with walk around bed, but that would be a big price jump to the Flying Cloud and counterspace would be similar to the 22'. I don't understand why Airstream would put bedding, pillows and curtain dividers that are dry clean only. I took them all out and vacuum sealed them and stored them away. I also took out the big plastic bins and just use a few small ones. The 20' has a squeegee sliding shower door. There is no problem with water leaking. Also the 20' has doors to access storage under the dinette seats without taking the cushions off. I have not had any problem with bugs in my 2 years of owning it.
Sarah - Nice video! Here are some of our thoughts: 1. Yes! That shower leak is a definite design flaw, but quite fixable. We have simply put in a shower curtain (using a telescoping rod) so that water does not splash against shower door. Works perfectly. 2. As for more windows - You're going to wish there were fewer windows when the cold weather arrives! Seriously, though: It seems that A/S has put in as many windows as it can while protecting structural integrity and providing cabinet space. While on the topic of windows: You shouldn't have to break the seal every time you use the windows - just after periods of non-use. Also, you might want to use a credit card or a "bone tool" to safely break the seal instead of car keys. Speaking of cold weather, Airstreams are not true "four-season" campers, so during the winter, you might want to stay in the southern states or be sure to park with electrical access so that you can set your furnace to avoid freezing at night. 3. I've never heard of using the exterior storage compartment for a generator. However, using that space for a robust lithium battery array is common. We swapped out our AGM batteries for lithium batteries (using simply the same trailer tongue box) and it was best money spent on the A/S so far. Don't know if you got rooftop solar. If not, you might want to consider instead a portable system. The advantage with a portable system is that you can situate the panels to get the best angle on the sun. 4. Storage: Yes, storage is probably a bit more precious on the A/S versus other choices. But there's a reason and that is the low-profile/curved shape of the unit. When you hit some cross winds (if you haven't already) you will truly appreciate your A/S's ability to stay safe. And 5. I had to laugh at the slamming door! Indeed, it takes some getting used to, but I don't think it is a flaw. On the upside, I have never seen any accumulated interior dust around the door - that tells me that there's a good seal there. Keep up the videos, Sarah!
I just finished watching your video, very interesting. Have you tried using Aerospace Protectant 303 on the seals to help prevent the windows sticking? That's what I use for the seals on my campervan, it should be just what ya need.👍
Good review, not going to disagree as I am and have been an airstream owner for sometime now. I would suggest that you or anyone ever use a key or metal objects like a screw driver to try and open stuck windows as this could cause the window to crack. I use a credit card, and as someone has mentioned use a rubber sealer like 303 on a regular bases as this will eliminate sticky windows.
I have always loved Airstreams and haunted their forums for years wanting a Bambi 16 until I learned a bit more about what you needed in a trailer capable of boondocking. The tank sizes in the smallest Airstreams are daunting but until I read about a person whose 6 week old Flying Cloud 19 or 20 had been totaled by his insurance company after a hailstorm in Iowa did I realize that I needed another path to follow as a $65000 trailer with a salvage title was something I definitely didn't want. As Sarah says, the walls readily transfer heat and cold. I think that since Thor has purchased them their quality has gone down. The aluminum walls have gone down in thickness for many years (witness the hailstorm above) to where the slightest bump can cost you many dollars to repair. Please don't misunderstand me, I have been in several and they are truly beautiful and relaxing. For reference I have a Casita 17. Yes I know, they are small but they are indestructible. Camp on no matter what you have!
Sarah, The windows on our Airstream 23d stick quite often as well. I haven’t yet found a permanent solution to the problem but I did find an easy way to get the seal to release. I always have a bunch of old business cards laying around. They work perfectly to slide between the glass and the seal. They’re flexible and work well. I use them a couple of times, then discard. BTW, I have the same problem with the toilet height. I’m 5’4”. I built a small footstool, and that works well, but I don’t really like the space that it takes up when in storage. Keep the videos coming.
beautiful dog, good to know the weak points before diving in. The air leak at bed and cold walls in winter concerns me as I'm hoping to do winter camping in snow.
I’m about six minutes in and you’ve already convinced me that I don’t want one. I’ve been researching which RV to get and I refuse to buy any sort of RV without counterspace or one where it could be added by tearing out the dinette for exactly the reason you mentioned. The thing that appealed to me about Airstream is that they’re at least not absolutely hideous looking on the inside unlike 90ish% of RVs.
Honest reviews are always appreciated. Perhaps a bit of silicone grease on the window seals could prevent them from sticking to the glass. The lack of storage space, and kitchen counter space I recognize from my boat. On a day to day basis, it can be a bit frustrating. Thanks for sharing Sarah!
Sarah, I noticed that you hold your door handle to shut/slam your Airstream door. Try the vertical handle on the inside door and "snap it" to shut the door. It will still make a loud noise, but I believe works better than using the door handle to shut it. Also, you may eventually loosen the inside of the door handle mechanism, which could cause problems. (You may want to research getting locked in/out of the Airstream and easy fixes so this does not happen.). For the stuck windows, a lubricant like a bit of vaseline usually does the trick. Be sure to lubricate the indoor locks on the windows occasionally with WD40 or graphite spray to keep them flexible too. I have used a coin/quarter to quickly pop open the window outside until I can lubricate it - usually setting the quarter in the center of the lower seal of the window and popping up does the trick quickly, or pop it on one lower side and then the other side. Hope this helps!
Hello Sarah! Just discovered your channel and so sad to hear the reason for disliking your Airstream. 🥺 We have been living in our 2011 International Serenity 23’ for 6 years traveling this beautiful country before it goes all to hell. 😢 I was so surprised to hear your difficulty with closing your entry door. We typically don’t slam our door even though dealership’s salesmen slam these doors as though to demonstrate their solid sound. We close our door slowly into the door jam then give it a nice push with one hand against the belt-line to solidly close the door. Works every time without making all of that loud noise!
I saw on, another review of this same trailer, there is another access point/door to get to the storage under the dinette...without having to remove the cushions and such every time. The back wall of the seat that backs to your bedroom area, is a door; you can get stuff out that way instead. Hope that helps. 🙂
High O Silver, it's Sarah ! Hi Sarah 😁, I enjoy watching your videos & you have a beautiful Husky. Personally, I like the inside lined as exterior. I didn't realize they designed them like that. As far as the windows possibly not opening easy, I suggest you buy a spray can of silicone spray & open the windows, then from outside, hold a piece of cardboard within as you apply, but spray the rubber gaskets good, let dry. The windows shouldn't stick as much thereafter. LoL, I certainly wouldn't use a key 🗝️ for very long. Go to a paint Dept and find a strong plastic putty knife instead, just in case. You could use a good clear sealant to fill in gaps behind your pillow area where air leaks are... Another issue - your shower, sequence to keep water off floor, you do have a shower door, however, I'd buy a shower curtain & affix magnet's onto top of it. Measure it out to cover sides & bottom from within just to the bottom of shower floor. This may be less time consuming for you Sarah. I've traveled States myself & loved it ! Hope advice given helps. Stay safe & enjoy !
Thank you for posting. Actually seeing someone who lives in their camper is way better than watching a dealer sell you their product. You are showcasing your home. Big difference and a Big help to those of us who are in the market.
Great video Sarah. Airstream listens to there customers. I am a Airstream salesman and am always glad to be of help.
Someone is going to be extremely lucky when they steal your heart. What a wonderful personality
I wasn’t going on comment, but as we have had some of the same issues with our Airstream. You need to go to a dealer or the factory and have your door adjusted. You shouldn’t have to slam it to get it to close. It may just need to be tightened up, but as it’s still under warranty have it adjusted. For your windows use an old credit card, not keys to break the seal. Treat the seals with Aero 303 protectant. It will take about 3-4 applications and then they will open normally, reapply whenever things start to stick. The gap between your outdoor storage and the inside is another dealer or factory service trip. It’s normal to have to have items fixed, even on a new unit. Open tickets with Airstream service and send them pics/videos. Once you have that done, you can schedule service at the factory. When you open the tickets let them know about the lift struts on your bed and they can send you new ones. They just snap into place and take less than a minute to replace.
Another excellent, well constructed video. We made a dislike list on AirForums about our 2004 Airstream 30’ Classic. We got a reaction of “Don’t bring up the bad stuff.” Your honesty is refreshing, and all your dislikes are valid. You are making your trailer your home in grand style, and it will work out as it did for us. Thanks for continuing to share your adventure.
Thanks for the honesty about the Airstream! Still looking at getting one, but so many people will never point out any flaws. I love how you were able to overcome the obstacles that this model gave you....and the curls look good. 😉
I had an Airstream and sold when I moved overseas. When I returned I went with a cheaper manufacturer and it was horrible, then I bought a ‘high-end’ white box trailer which was much more luxurious, but still have a lot of issues with manufacturing flaws. After a few years of this I went back to an Airstreams. They are not perfect and like all trailers need some work, but Airstreams are by far the best overall trailers out there. Also the support is good and most importantly resale value is unmatched. My recommendation is that if you have the means do it. Good luck with whatever you decide.
Great video! We installed “window poppers” to assist with the window seals. Also lube the seals with silicone on a paper towel. Never have to go outside - ever.
Can also endorse the Window Poppers. No more going outside!
Wow thank you for being so honest. Such a disappointment to hear their quality isn't what it used to be. I would absolutely be upset with the quality. Hit up a airstream dealer and see if they can fix any of the issues on your list!
I agree. Thank You for being so candid and honest!
the airstream dealer in Eugene OR. sucks balls and so does Airstream Corporate
I have the same airstream and have similar issues with mine glad to hear I’m not the only one .
Thanks for share your dislikes about your airstream. We had a similar problem with our door. Airstream fixed the latch for free. Now our door closes and latches easily. I am shorter than you. I use a broom to turn on and off the ceiling fan. Lastly, to release the window, use a credit card to work the window loose from the gasket. I hope these tips will help and be easy for you.
Yeah! the Credit card will help to open the window when you are trying to escape a fire inside the RV!
Sarah, your explanations are clear and the points that you have made are excellent!
The windows, entry door, water leaks at the shower, and cold interior walls are not nit-picky, and are not unique to your particular trailer. The door is a warranty issue for sure. As for the ceiling fan, replace it with a MaxxFan unit with a remote control. 10 speeds, bi-directional, with built-in opening cover that can be open in the rain. The slowest speeds are very quiet.
Nice video and very honest, I replaced the struts under our bed so it would lift up our new heavier mattress, what a nice change, I can lift it by myself now and it always stays up.
Never apologize for the curlyhair, it is awesome!! You look so much like one of my Granddaughters, it's spooky. Anyway, my wife and I are retiring and shopping for an RV or travel trailer, so your videos have been very helpful. THANKS!!
Excellent video especially for someone like myself who has been looking at Airstreams.
I am currently renovating a 79 sovereign. I am considering keeping it myself and selling my class A. I'm so glad you did this video. I feel like I can make a better decision about keeping it.
Astonishing that such niggles like the window seal and the shower leak should persist after Airstream’s decades of experience! I’d be furious. Great video, as always.
As someone looking to do this life, this was a great review. Thanks for the honest and practical feedback.
Someone has probably already mentioned this (haven’t read all 350+ comments), but an old credit card works to break seal on outside. I have used silicon spray and it works for a day or two. We spent 3 months in our FC 25 this past summer and had very few problems. We love it. The fact that the windows are hard to open means they keep rain and wind outside and when running the AC they keep the cool inside. Good channel! Thanks
Hopefully someone from Airstream will see this video and contact you to address your problems. Happy travels!
Hi Sarah, try a little bit of Capstick or Vaseline on your window seal. That should do the trick for easier opening.
Spray dry silicone applied with a rag also works and will not attract dust.
A credit card slipped between the gasket and glass and ran around the window edge works better.
Don't use petroleum based lubricant. It will degrade seals. Use dry silicone like WD 40 RV lubricant
@@audiomxr Excellent point!
I good call. I also stick a hotel key card in the window when closing. This usually prevents it from sticking but if it does stick a bit the card can easily be slide along the bottom to unstick it
Great video. I don’t think you’re being nit picky, and the items you point out aren’t really personal preferences. I appreciate the. Honest review! Defiantly some things I will keep in mind.
Very informative, ... and very valuable to someone who might be buying an Airstream in the future.
Even discussing your Dislikes.... Your Bubbly Positive Attitude Shines Through :-)
Great video sharing your observed downsides to ownership. A few of your negatives are exactly why we chose our 20’ FB Flying Cloud. I like the look of the International upper sliding doors but preferred the lift up upper storage lockers of the Flying Cloud for ease of access to items and the clean look of solid wooden doors over transparent sliding doors. We too have under bed storage which stows 4 of those bins you showed plus several smaller ones but our bed platform does not raise so I resort to crawling under the bed to switch out bin access but hey, it still a lot of storage. When we’ve taken trips spanning multiple seasons for multiple months, having a place to store off season clothing and gear are great. Sticky windows always a problem but never use a sharp key which could cause damage. Instead, use an old credit card which is perfect for breaking the seal. You’ve made the bedroom area your own with your clever use of fabric shower curtain! Agree with your issue about limited kitchen counter work areas, that’s one of the biggest reasons we chose our model, our kitchen has best features with double sink and lots of counter space. But we don’t live in ours full time, just use it for luxury getaways!
Wow. Very well presented. I admire your resourcefulness in finding effective work arounds for the obstacles you've encountered. The suction device for the windows is brilliant. The kitchen counter problem seems insurmountable. So I'm grateful for your highlighting that aspect. Cooking involves lots of chopping and you don't want to develop back problems just so you can eat nutritious food. For those annoying LED lights on your appliances, look for DIM IT light dimming sheets or LED light stickers in online shops. They are very effective and can be stacked on top of each other to increase their effectiveness. For a total block, use electrician's tape. When caulking, for nice neat straight lines put down painter's tape to create a border. After applying the caulk, and smoothing it with a wet finger, remove the painter's tape before the caulk begins to set. (Saw an RV RUclipsr wearing a t-shirt that read "RV-ing: Fixing things in beautiful locations.")
I appreciate the honesty. These are problems that should NOT exist in a unit costing this much money.
Hi Sarah! I think its important that you talk about both the pros AND the cons of being an Airstream owner. I really appreciate it. The information you shared helps people who may be considering purchasing an Airstream (or any other type of travel trailer) know what to think about before making a decision. Stay safe!
our husky loves her crate in our RV and I appreciate you sharing the things you do not like maybe Airstream will address those issues for buyers, I love the look of Airstream but not sure I'd want to live in one full time
This is a terrific review. You kept it positive which makes the negatives you report, credible. I owned a 2003 19' Bambi which I loved, but sold it when I needed to fund a start up business. The business was built and now sold and I am back in the market for a new trailer to travel the Americas in my retirement. I would default to the Airstream 19'-22' but am seeing many reports of shoddy construction, and quality control issues just as you are reporting. This has caused me to look closely at the NuCamp T@b400, a well built alternative...similar but different. Or, I may consider a well priced used Airstraeam, pre 2020 (Covid). In any case, keep up the great work. I pray honest reviews such as yours have inspired #Airstream to do better. It is an iconic brand with a valuable reputation; built over nearly 100 years, by hard work and attention to detail.
I love how you recycle!
every project you make is my favorite!👍
For the sticking windows, use a credit card instead of a key (or your nifty suction cup) and then treat the window seals with silicone lubricant. You only have to treat them once or twice a season and they don't stick. I did mine today! You are right, all floor plans have compromises. I opted for the 20 foot to get more counter space and I have been using mine for six years and I'm happy (but not full-time). Take care and best wishes for your next position. PNW isn't too bad in summer (if it ever gets here).
Hey Sarah, I thought this was some clickbaity "I hate my Airstream!" title where you would then not bring up anything of value once people clicked on the icon. In fact, you've got some real valid points that you make. First of course, you're in a small trailer. Some of the things you talk about are generic to any small travel trailer. But you also point out some very unique Airstream "bugs" that we AS owners just have to learn to love. I'll start with opening the widows. I don't use a key, I use an old credit card and from the outside you just run the card around the window seals. Once you've broken the seal you should be good to go unless you close the windows and leave them closed for a several days. I've tried various lubrications and they only last so long. Goodgle "airstream window poppers" and you'll see an fairly easy to install product that can permanently fix the issue. They are small buttons that are drilled in the inside window sill with springs on them. When your window sticks, you just push the button (from the inside) and it will pop the window. Unfortunately, they seem to be sold out. I am considering just drilling a small hole in each window sill so I can push a small wooden dowel thru it to pop the windows from the inside.
If your door is really hard to close, you may want to take it to a dealer for an adjustment. You can also try some door lock or lithium grease where the lock mechanism grabs the door post. If you feel mechanical at all, unscrew the door lock panel from the inside and put a bit of grease on the parts that contact each other. It can make the door much easier to open and close.
People look at airstreams and think they must be very well insulated because they kind of look like a thermos bottle. This is wrong. The aluminum skins (inside and out) have a very thin layer of insulation between them. If it's very humid where you are, you can see the condensation outside and sometimes inside. We're in Florida and we carry a small dehumidifier to help out the AC.
We've had many RVs over the years. We've had an Airstream for about a year now and I think we like it the best. Ours is bigger (a 30' Globetrotter) and it does have more storage and room. It also has tons more windows which is one of the biggest attractions for us. It also does not have slide outs which we think is a plus.
Good luck with yours!
Airstream interiors have all the warmth, appeal, and personality of a hospital. Good thing they're so affordable.
Thank you very much Sarah...hope everything is good with you👍🏽👍🏽
Get some Window Poppers. They are easy to install and solve the sticking window problem. Simple, but brilliant invention!! And don’t slam the door using the handle. It will eventually come off in your hand and leave you trapped inside. Your door is in serious need of adjustment. We had to take ours to Jackson Center to get it working properly.
Sarah, a tip for you for self defense if needed. Keep a can of WASP spray nest to bed & another centrally located handy. They spray 15 feet and will stop someone that needs that.
Very nice and honest review. I'm sure you will figure out little ways to make things easier. Command strips are a blessing for sure. Loved seeing your pup spread out on your bed. Beautiful dog. Can't wait for the next video. Thanks for sharing!
Great video and nice job on the ingenuous solutions to the issues you've encountered. Thank you for sharing!
Very helpful video. Thanks for pointing out potential issues to watch out for.
I'm looking into buying and this was super helpful. Thank you!
You are awesome, Sarah! Brave, forthright, intrepid!
I’ve missed you . Thank you for sharing this video . I’ve learned plenty . Thank you 🌹. Stay safe
Thank you for the useful feedback. Patrick
This is a really excellent video. There is so much free advice to help Airstream make a better trailer. As an owner, they really owe it to you to send someone out to fix all the issues you have found with yours. jmo Great video
Hey Sarah. I just found your channel. I follow another U-Tube channel and they live full time in a Airstream. In the last 18 months they have had and solved a lot of the issues you have. Wanderlocal is the name of their channel. I definitely remember the door issue and they solved it. Lauren and Daniel have just had a baby but are still going to travel full time. You may like to watch or communicate with them. Good luck and travel safe.
Honest and thorough. Well done, Thank you. Looking forward to your new RV vid.
thank you your comments are so right on thank you I agree with all of it. all is not gold that glitters!!!
You are correct on your issues with an Airstream. But these are all what you get with almost all RVs...To keep at moving, 65 plus mph, house sealed up you will contend with most of these problems. Campers are all about give and take. They are "compromised " in almost every area. Be glad you got an Airstream as your list would be 3 to 4 times longer with most all other brands. If a camper is "light weight " it will have many more issues.
Loved your video and have a great adventure !!
Eddy and Julie
I love your new logo!!! It’s so cool!! I’m thinking about purchasing an Airstream, but you’ve convinced me to keep searching for a older, bigger (more windows) Airstream, even though I would be just one woman and a dog too. Also a husky, so I love what you’ve created under the bed by removing the door. I like the bigger Flying Cloud size, but would really like about 28 feet with the bathroom in the back like yours. I’ve seen an old Excella like that. I DON’T want a shower on one side & powder room on the other. Weird. Nor do I want twin beds in the back. I’m pretty sure I want a front table bed & a bunk room to turn into a living room after watching you & others! More to tow, which brings issues & a bigger tow vehicle, but I want space AND an Airstream!! Thank you so much for this video and the tools video!!! Both are so appreciated!!! ♥️
Great idea with the suction cup on the window Great video
Adapting to a living space can be a struggle... especially if it's being shared with spiders! Good luck with the work hiatus. Totally digging your new logo. So smart!
Thank you, hadn’t heard much on the negative side of this camper good to know!
excellent video! very helpful. I'm a newbie and starting the process of looking at trailers so thanks for posting this.
I love my Bambi 20! I have so much counter space!
Great video Sarah. I personally never understood the airstream. It seems like you pay a lot of extra money for something that is less than in almost every way. No slides, all the little issues you mentioned in the video. Obviously everyone doesn't feel this way because there are a lot of raving airstream fans, I personally would never get one. I hope airstream sees this video and sends you to a dealer to fix the fixable issues you are having. Although in most instances it sounds like you are creating effective workarounds. I really like how you create videos and tell your story, you do a great job!
I have an Airstream and love it and believe it was worth it. Models vary and our 30 foot Flying Cloud does not have any of the issues that Sarah has shared, so know that each Airstream model is different, as well as each person's experience. Airstreams are well-made and many people love them. :)
can't wait to see the start of your endeavor!😂👍
If not mentioned...make sure you are level front to back and side to side, door should close when level. Shower shouldnt pool if level either. Love your set up.
Thanks for the honest and fair review!
Thanks for the honest review!
Good video! Nothings perfect I guess… In our 22FB (Bambi) I have to agree with you on a couple of things: Yep, you need to slam that door. Not sure about an warranty issue, but a real pain for neighbours and spouse. I find that the toilet is super awkward when sitting on it due to the box pedestal. Seems high. Finally if you have 2 people getting out of bed in the middle of the night means the other is gonna wake up. Btw really like the fact you have a vent over your stove. We love our Airstream, but as said earlier “nothings perfect”
This was helpful. I am considering downsizing from a 28' 7,000lb. stick-built travel trailer and am intrigued by the single axle Airstreams. Bambi looks good, as does Caravel. Interesting comment on the counter space. The 20FB does have more. but there are compromises. Airstream has become an icon of perfection and quality in my mind. Good to know they are not perfect. Thanks!
Hi Sarah, if you had it to do over again, what floor plan or size would you get, knowing everything you do now? Thank you
Very objective report. Excellent video quality and narration.
Looking forward to the adventures to come!
Fellow NP here, can't wait to get back on the road!
Thank you for sharing this. Seems like a lot of issues for something that's so expensive. I'm looking at Escape trailers now. Thanks!
Instead of using a towel to soak up drips I use a synthetic chamois whenever I anticipate water dripping on the floor, like if I am fixing a sink or taking something still wet out of the washer. They soak up a lot of water and you just ring it out and hang it up to dry. It dries very quickly and you don't have to wash it every time. Look on Amazon.
So glad to see your puppy w you....so cute
We've had about 8 different types of RVs. What you have shown is not knit picking at all!! Very valid points, except maybe the kitchen space. There is no space and you a newbie, so that's a mistake.
Great job on your vlogging. Also really enjoy your narrative videos. 👍🏻👍🏻
You also seem very handy when it comes to working on it, I dream about owning a airstream and doing just what you are about to start 👍😎
Good coverage of the real issues
Thank you for your insights. By the way you have a beautiful smile!
Lol, I've always straightened my hair and now I've lived in my Airstream for 10 months. I've gotten a lot of compliments on my natural curls and your curls are so cute. I live in my 25-foot Globetrotter and have experienced almost all of the same issues. The shower seal and the front door are probably my two biggest annoyances. But, as you said, it's a fabulous life and I'm loving it too! Cheers~
About the shower: I hung a plastic shower liner inside my shower, around the back wall, over the door, all the way to the shower head,. It keeps all water out even when I don't close the shower door. No water on the floor. I also rerouted the shower head. I have it on the outside wall now, not the inside wall. I grab it off the hook, spray myself down, hang it back up, wash, rinse, done. Hope this helps if you can envision it.
This confirms what I have always heard from RVrs that most people end up trading after 1 year once they find out all the bugs.
for the bed, try beddies! their zippable bedding is prefect for campers 👍
I haven't read all the comments, Sarah, but put some silicon on your window seal and that should solve your stickiness. I use an aerosol silicon spray on my car rubber. You can spray it on a cloth and run that over the rubber when you have the window open.
If you can see the plumbing under your shower pan I would take a look. It could be leaking from where the drain pipe connects to the shower pan or some other attachment point and then going under the wall under the shower door and into the bathroom. It looks like you have the shower door sealed up really well.
One thing about RV's, and there are no exceptions, things will always go wrong. It doesn't matter how much you spend on one either. I had a guy with an $800,000 diesel pusher tell me that his slide walls leaked and water intruded under the tile floor in the living room and trashed it.
I think having a rig with no slide outs gives a person an immediate advantage, one less thing to cause problems!!
I agree with everything Thomas said except the slide. I have a little 20' travel trailer and the slide doubles the space and we have never had a problem with it. I couldn't imagine living in such a tight space without the slide.
I don’t like the quality of the trailer, but I love the dog
great video - im not planning to buy an airstream anytime soon but your points were absolutely valuable.
hint - id change title for he video and thumbnail
Hello,
Try sliding a credit card between the glass and the seal of your windows, that’ll do it. I agree, a sharp object, like a key, may tear the seal. Yes, 303 is highly recommended to condition the window seals to prevent “sticking”. I fear you may shatter the glass with the suction cup.
Have you thought of inverting a tray over the stove top to use as a cutting surface? Or just putting a cutting board on it or over the sink.
To reach high things, like your vent, you can get a grabber (reach extender), usually found in pharmacies in the handicapped equipment section. I use mine for everything, from picking up dropped things, to reaching stuff in the top cupboard.
Jon in rural BC, Canada
You can get a grabber type tool at Harbor Freight in the US for $4-5. Super useful tool. great for picking things off the ground if your back hurts, or reaching things up high
Great video! I was on the fence between the 20', 22' and the jump to dual axle 23'' Flying Cloud. While I preferred the layout of the 22', I went with the 20' because we cook a lot and need countertop space. The negative with the 20' is the smaller bed. We sleep at opposite ends and that works for us, especially since the bed is so long and we don't overlap too much. This makes it easy for the person on the inside to lift part of your legs over the other person to get out, rather than your entire body. The small bed of the 20' would be a deal breaker for some ppl, but for camping we make it work. If I were living in it, I would have more seriously considered the 23' with walk around bed, but that would be a big price jump to the Flying Cloud and counterspace would be similar to the 22'. I don't understand why Airstream would put bedding, pillows and curtain dividers that are dry clean only. I took them all out and vacuum sealed them and stored them away. I also took out the big plastic bins and just use a few small ones. The 20' has a squeegee sliding shower door. There is no problem with water leaking. Also the 20' has doors to access storage under the dinette seats without taking the cushions off. I have not had any problem with bugs in my 2 years of owning it.
Sarah - Nice video! Here are some of our thoughts: 1. Yes! That shower leak is a definite design flaw, but quite fixable. We have simply put in a shower curtain (using a telescoping rod) so that water does not splash against shower door. Works perfectly. 2. As for more windows - You're going to wish there were fewer windows when the cold weather arrives! Seriously, though: It seems that A/S has put in as many windows as it can while protecting structural integrity and providing cabinet space. While on the topic of windows: You shouldn't have to break the seal every time you use the windows - just after periods of non-use. Also, you might want to use a credit card or a "bone tool" to safely break the seal instead of car keys. Speaking of cold weather, Airstreams are not true "four-season" campers, so during the winter, you might want to stay in the southern states or be sure to park with electrical access so that you can set your furnace to avoid freezing at night. 3. I've never heard of using the exterior storage compartment for a generator. However, using that space for a robust lithium battery array is common. We swapped out our AGM batteries for lithium batteries (using simply the same trailer tongue box) and it was best money spent on the A/S so far. Don't know if you got rooftop solar. If not, you might want to consider instead a portable system. The advantage with a portable system is that you can situate the panels to get the best angle on the sun. 4. Storage: Yes, storage is probably a bit more precious on the A/S versus other choices. But there's a reason and that is the low-profile/curved shape of the unit. When you hit some cross winds (if you haven't already) you will truly appreciate your A/S's ability to stay safe. And 5. I had to laugh at the slamming door! Indeed, it takes some getting used to, but I don't think it is a flaw. On the upside, I have never seen any accumulated interior dust around the door - that tells me that there's a good seal there. Keep up the videos, Sarah!
I just finished watching your video, very interesting. Have you tried using Aerospace Protectant 303 on the seals to help prevent the windows sticking? That's what I use for the seals on my campervan, it should be just what ya need.👍
💯 the fix for the seals. We do the same.
WOW! Excellent content and you're not half naked to get clicks. Thanks...
Good review, not going to disagree as I am and have been an airstream owner for sometime now. I would suggest that you or anyone ever use a key or metal objects like a screw driver to try and open stuck windows as this could cause the window to crack. I use a credit card, and as someone has mentioned use a rubber sealer like 303 on a regular bases as this will eliminate sticky windows.
Yep, I've had my Airstream for 10 months now and the credit card is much less invasive than a key. I'm surprised they would recommend a key?
I have always loved Airstreams and haunted their forums for years wanting a Bambi 16 until I learned a bit more about what you needed in a trailer capable of boondocking. The tank sizes in the smallest Airstreams are daunting but until I read about a person whose 6 week old Flying Cloud 19 or 20 had been totaled by his insurance company after a hailstorm in Iowa did I realize that I needed another path to follow as a $65000 trailer with a salvage title was something I definitely didn't want. As Sarah says, the walls readily transfer heat and cold. I think that since Thor has purchased them their quality has gone down. The aluminum walls have gone down in thickness for many years (witness the hailstorm above) to where the slightest bump can cost you many dollars to repair. Please don't misunderstand me, I have been in several and they are truly beautiful and relaxing. For reference I have a Casita 17. Yes I know, they are small but they are indestructible. Camp on no matter what you have!
Sarah, The windows on our Airstream 23d stick quite often as well. I haven’t yet found a permanent solution to the problem but I did find an easy way to get the seal to release. I always have a bunch of old business cards laying around. They work perfectly to slide between the glass and the seal. They’re flexible and work well. I use them a couple of times, then discard. BTW, I have the same problem with the toilet height. I’m 5’4”. I built a small footstool, and that works well, but I don’t really like the space that it takes up when in storage. Keep the videos coming.
beautiful dog, good to know the weak points before diving in. The air leak at bed and cold walls in winter concerns me as I'm hoping to do winter camping in snow.
I’m about six minutes in and you’ve already convinced me that I don’t want one. I’ve been researching which RV to get and I refuse to buy any sort of RV without counterspace or one where it could be added by tearing out the dinette for exactly the reason you mentioned.
The thing that appealed to me about Airstream is that they’re at least not absolutely hideous looking on the inside unlike 90ish% of RVs.
Honest reviews are always appreciated. Perhaps a bit of silicone grease on the window seals could prevent them from sticking to the glass. The lack of storage space, and kitchen counter space I recognize from my boat. On a day to day basis, it can be a bit frustrating. Thanks for sharing Sarah!
Sarah, I noticed that you hold your door handle to shut/slam your Airstream door. Try the vertical handle on the inside door and "snap it" to shut the door. It will still make a loud noise, but I believe works better than using the door handle to shut it. Also, you may eventually loosen the inside of the door handle mechanism, which could cause problems. (You may want to research getting locked in/out of the Airstream and easy fixes so this does not happen.). For the stuck windows, a lubricant like a bit of vaseline usually does the trick. Be sure to lubricate the indoor locks on the windows occasionally with WD40 or graphite spray to keep them flexible too. I have used a coin/quarter to quickly pop open the window outside until I can lubricate it - usually setting the quarter in the center of the lower seal of the window and popping up does the trick quickly, or pop it on one lower side and then the other side. Hope this helps!
Hello Sarah! Just discovered your channel and so sad to hear the reason for disliking your Airstream. 🥺 We have been living in our 2011 International Serenity 23’ for 6 years traveling this beautiful country before it goes all to hell. 😢 I was so surprised to hear your difficulty with closing your entry door. We typically don’t slam our door even though dealership’s salesmen slam these doors as though to demonstrate their solid sound. We close our door slowly into the door jam then give it a nice push with one hand against the belt-line to solidly close the door. Works every time without making all of that loud noise!
I saw on, another review of this same trailer, there is another access point/door to get to the storage under the dinette...without having to remove the cushions and such every time. The back wall of the seat that backs to your bedroom area, is a door; you can get stuff out that way instead. Hope that helps. 🙂
High O Silver, it's Sarah !
Hi Sarah 😁, I enjoy watching your videos & you have a beautiful Husky.
Personally, I like the inside lined as exterior. I didn't realize they designed them like that.
As far as the windows possibly not opening easy, I suggest you buy a spray can of silicone spray & open the windows, then from outside, hold a piece of cardboard within as you apply, but spray the rubber gaskets good, let dry. The windows shouldn't stick as much thereafter.
LoL, I certainly wouldn't use a key 🗝️ for very long. Go to a paint Dept and find a strong plastic putty knife instead, just in case.
You could use a good clear sealant to fill in gaps behind your pillow area where air leaks are...
Another issue - your shower, sequence to keep water off floor, you do have a shower door, however, I'd buy a shower curtain & affix magnet's onto top of it. Measure it out to cover sides & bottom from within just to the bottom of shower floor.
This may be less time consuming for you Sarah.
I've traveled States myself & loved it !
Hope advice given helps. Stay safe & enjoy !
The audio is perfect!
Really appreciate this video. Good things to consider.
I'm so glad I watched this before buying an Airstream, not that I'm doing that any time soon. Do you really have a bath mat that can't get wet?
