Moving into an Airstream | Full Time RV Newbie Struggles

- I just moved into an Airstream as my new full time home!
In this video, I cover what my first week was like as a brand new full timer while working as a healthcare traveler. Not only am I brand new to full time RV life, but I have also never even camped in a travel trailer before owning one!
No matter how much research I did and how prepared I felt, I still felt very overwhelmed and underprepared when it finally came time to move in. Trying to learn how to live in my Airstream while working 10+ hour days right off the bat was pretty difficult. I didn't expect this transition to be easy, but I got through it and continue to learn new things every day!
I do recognize how good I have it in this spot and am extremely grateful to be staying here right now. Thank you to all who have shown your support and have helped me so far!
Your advice is always appreciated, as I am obviously quite the newbie! Please let me know what you guys think about the hot water heater situation and conserving my tanks while dry camping and showering. As far as the solar system goes, I do plan on upgrading the batteries to lithium at some point.

'Til next time! 😊✌️
I kept an Airstream in San Jose for years. Trailer park tip I learned was electric blanket. If you’ve got a power hookup, way less expensive that keeping the whole trailer warm overnight. Furnace when you get up. Easy on the propane and no heat pump noise.
Just a learning curve. You’ll make it fine
Yours is a beautiful airstream. God bless you girl you are one gutsy girl to do this on your own. I envy you
Great idea..
Mike Spray, I agree with you. I'm in a basement studio rental with a concrete floor for which I pay to heat, and yes, it really is cheaper to keep warm with an electric blanket than to warm the entire space. And I make a cocoon with a blanket underneath the electric blanket.
Such a great tip!
Sounds like you are learning alot, the learning never stops! Want to learn all you need to know? RUclips is your Friend. Search, Search, Search. Welcome to the club. :)
Sarah,
Couple of suggestions from a full timer. 1) For when you have fhu or just electric, consider an electric blanket. Then you can just kick on your propane first thing in the morning. Plus you’re not hearing the heat go on and off all night. 2) for navy showers, put your shower head into a bucket until hot. Then you can use that water for your toilet. Most of us use the Oxygenics shower head. You do have to be quick with that truma. Consider switching to a combined shampoo/conditioner to speed things up! 3) when its cold and you’re disconnecting from water, on the assumption you have some water in your fresh tank, shut off your water pump when you go to bed, and depressurize the water lines…just open the kitchen/bathroom tap and once water stops, you’re good…it’s another safeguard against freezing temps. Sadly, Airstreams are definitely only 3 season campers. Keep it up, you are doong GREAT! So glad to see a surge protector and water pressure regulator! 👍💪
Thank you so much for the awesome advice!!
One nice thing about airstreams is the community. I had an uncle and aunt back in the ‘70s who lived in Greenville, SC or at least she did. He was an engineer who spent a lot of time out of country building dams and installing generators. When he retired he came home with a 24’ Airstream, listed his house and they set out. Just like that. They tagged along with an airstream group that travelled in convoy all over North America. He told me he could go to anyone in the group and they could point him to a solution or someone who knew what to do. They were on the road for about ten years before he passed away. They never stopped traveling until then. They stopped by my Mom and Dad’s house in Houston every now and then.
uncle sunshine?
To clarify on flushing black tank completely. Wait until black tank is 75% full or more. Close gray tank valve if open. Hook up black tank flush hose. Open black tank dump valve. Turn on flush hose. Let it empty completely until clear water flows out. Close black tank valve and let tank refill at least 50%. DO NOT EVER WALK AWAY FROM TASK AT HAND DURING THIS PROCEDURE. Open black tank flush valve open empty until water is clear. Close dump valve and IMMEDIATELY turn off flush hose. Disconnect flush hose. Your done and have a flushed out black tank. Open gray tank valve if you wish. If you have a tank full of gray water you can now drain that tank and flush out sewer hose. Never ever have the gray and black tank valves open at the same time. You do not want black water entering your gray tank. Now, go open that cold Beer.
this is the single most important comment on this thread.
Hey Sarah, fellow fulltime Airstreamer again...monitoring and managing electric power will always be necessary especially when boondocking. I have 400w of solar and had the same issues with charging until I learned how to allow the trailer to do what it can and cannot do and simply lived inside those parameters. I would seriously consider a good, lightweight generator as a a boondocking tool - Honda has the perfect one for an Airstream. Hang in there! You have a great attitude and I'm enjoying watching you blossom in to this new and exciting lifestyle.
Blossom.
One solar panel is about enough to keep your refrigerator running, not much more. If you want to boondock, you should think about lithium. To research power management, I highly recommend The Fit RV, the guy is a literal rocket scientist and has broken power management in RVs down in a number of his videos. Also, she is a fitness trainer and brings a completely different angle to RV life and keeps James’ technical brain in check.
Also, my biggest concern was how fast you blew through propane. I am a full timer and propane lasts me months, even wintering in the north. Maybe the dealer was a jerk and didn’t sell it with the tank full, but please make sure you don’t have a leak.
All the best.
Hey there! My neighbor had the same reservations about the propane and very generously checked for leaks for me. He did not find any, so all is well there! Definitely considering a lithium upgrade for boondocking purposes. Thanks so much for your advice!
It will be rainbows and all good, Sarah. Be patient with yourself. Once you , get it, life will be so grand! I have been in my Airstream for ten years now and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Sagittarians love to be nomadic and boy have I been around. I am a itinerant Sped teacher with a masters degree and became eligible for a US endorsement. Having summers off I have been to Lake Tahoe, the Redwoods, and so many memorable places. I collect postcards , met some of the most wonderful people, and have never looked back! Happy Travels
Welcome to the "Airstream Family"
1st Water pressure - should not be more than 55 psi
2nd Battery -you may want to switch in the future to Lithium. But you have 'phantom draw that can not be turned off.
3rd Solar- One panel is not enough to "live on". If you want to Boondock you will need more solar that you roof will not carry or have room for. It takes a lot of adjustments to "live" with just solar. You need to find out what your needs are. May want to look at suit case panels.
4th Dump - purchase a clear sewage hose adapter. That way you can "SEE" what's going down. A shorter hose may be better for your needs too.
5th keep only one propane take open at a time. At night check to see if you have enough fuel. If not. switch over to the other tank and fill the tank the next day. When running on propane and heat, you can average about 3-4 days on a tank. HINT-when opening a new tank, turn the knob sloooowly. There is a check-value inside.
5th Heat pump- Not sure what size your heat pump is but it will only make a 10-20 degrees different. (example 52 outside + heat pump = 62 degree inside) It does not work below freezing.
6th condensation is not your friend. If their is a great different between outside and inside you will need to keep a towel handy and remove it. Especially around windows and door.
You can find a great resources on "Air forums" web site - please join and
Welcome to the big world of Airstreaming.
I have a 1982 Airstream- Traveled for 10 years from Alaska- Canada -East cost to West cost and now I live in Texas at a Airstream Park. I travel about 12,000 a year.
Ginger
For the tankless water heater - when we shower we are hooked up to city water - we turn on the shower and don't turn off the water at the shower - just keep it running. Also, we don't have the propane being used by the furnace and/or cooking at the same time. It is logical as you have the propane coming from one tank at a time - easier to just have it go to heat the water and you won't get those 'cold spots' during a shower. No shared propane to applicances :-) Congrats and be safe out there.
You don’t need a pressure regulator on an airstream. It’s built into the trailer. I have a small electric space heater in my trailer for cold nights and it turns on no matter what the temp. I’m in Southern California most of the time and it does get below freezing a couple of times each winter. If all else fails, have a warm sleeping bag available and wear warm clothes to bed. If your battery went dead then there’s a problem with the charging system. If you have a lithium battery it will not charge below freezing. If you have a lead acid battery the battery life has been shortened by being completely discharged. If there’s room in your battery box and the charging system is okay then a second battery will give you more battery life when boondocking. The solar panel works best in direct sunlight. Without it there may not be enough electricity to keep up with the demand on the battery. The refrigerator is 12 volt and is drawing on the battery when in transit. You need to check if the wiring from your tow vehicle has a charge line (it should) to charge the battery off of the alternator while driving. Most trucks have this from the factory. SUVs that have been wired aftermarket may not. There’s quite a learning curve to RV living but once you’re approaching the top of the curve it’s really a good life! That’s a very nice trailer!
I don't think all model have a built-in pressure regulator. When we picked up our 2021 Airstream 22fb last year, one of the accessories that the dealer gave us was a pressure regulator that attaches to the spigot before connecting the water hose.
I agree with what Mike said... Electric blanket and I also use a space heater. I'll only use the furnace in the morning to quickly heat up the camper then let the space heater maintain it throughout the day if needed!
Your Airstream also has a water pressure regulator installed into it.
I don't know exactly how/from where you bought your Airstream, but typically if you buy from any kind of dealer, you get a long "walkthrough" of all systems. My advice (66 female person, owned a Winnebago mhome for 16 years some full time, some long travel, some short travel ... solo) ... is to "buy" a walkthrough from a dealer or another Airstream owner, i.e. pay for a person of experience to walk you through everything. I am guessing that your work days are stressful and you want to enjoy your new home and have fun with the deco without so much angst over operations. Anyway, my 2 cents :) Your videos are fun and I look forward to seeing you gain knowledge and have fun.
@@largemarge1603 ??? I was NOT being critical of any seller. I am very surprised that after 2 days with an exceptional dealer, she had the issues that she had. I don't fault the dealer at all. And I do know that it has been some time since I was a newbie RVr, AND I am the daughter of a mechanical engineer, as well as although no RV experience we did have cruising sailboats. AND, as a mostly single person/homeowner I had a lot of experience with "house systems" before becoming an RVr at 50.
Sarah - honey you can so do this. Try to look at each new challenge as another step to becoming an ‘experienced’ RVer! There are TONS of ppl who will help you, answer your questions and help soothe your wounded spirit when it becomes overwhelming! Reach out to your neighbor or shoot out on social media and you will get help. I would think Airstream has a’ hotline’ too. Hang in there!
You are conquering nomad life one day at a time. Have fun, a glass of wine, and celebrate something every day. That's what it's all about.
I'm sure Rue was thinking, cold? this is perfect.
When in rainy wet times, you might consider a small dehumidifier to keep your TT safe from molding.... And you may want to put a coat or two of mold primer to to the wood to protect under the mattress.
You can do it Girl! Just the fact you are learning it all on you own is amazing. I'm older now and don't go camping anymore but when I was 18 my Father insisted I learn how to pull trailers. It WILL get easier with time. My last trailer was 32 ft. long. It intimidated me at first but I quickly over came my reservations.
Tips: If you trailer starts to sway behind you be sure you use your hand brake to slow it down. Don't just slam on the brakes.
I would get a different sewer hose. I would find one that has 2 smaller hoses that can be connected or broke apart so you have a single shorter hose if you are close to your sewer dump. Water hose, I would find one with heat tape already wrapped around it. I carried 2 water hoses. 1 short and 1 long. I also carried a little electric heater so I didn't use up my propane for heating my RV. I know storage is small so find out what you really need. I hope these little tips help you. I do envy you and I am enjoying your posts. You go Girl!
As per the shower situation: only turn the hot water on a quarter turn, not full blast. Then adjust cold to desired level. Turning the hot on full blast is why you run out in two seconds as it allows too much hot water through the line. Since it’s a small hot water heater you have to run a smaller amount through. This will give you a longer shower. Maybe 20 minutes or so. I used to live in an rv. Had the same problem. That’s the solution to it. Good luck!
We got a switch for our shower that turns the water off for just the shower head, so it keeps the warm water ready to go. I can look up the Amazon link if you are interested. Some shower heads have a partial off button, but it stays cold until you turn it back on all the way.
Hey Kathy! That would be great if you could share the link. It seems that even when I use the on/off on the shower head it still turns the water heater off, so I'm not too sure if it will help my situation. But it's definitely worth a shot! Is your water heater tankless?
What Kathy said. I even got one for my house shower and I think people on community water systems should do the same. Think what it could mean for city water use if everyone in the shower shut the water off while they soak up. It saves
I had a big 36 ft Monaco Motorhome, it was a learning curve for me when my husband passed away, I drove it so that wasn’t an issue but learning about batteries, the hookups and everything else. Airstream is a great company and there should be help books online or a nearby dealership that you could talk to. I love your trailer and it makes me want to buy one
Sorry to hear about your husband I hope you do end up getting something if that's what you love especially now that you've learned all that it's alot but rewarding to. God Bless & good luck
I’m so jealous! I’ve been watching Tails of Wanderlust when I came across your video. Caz, Jasper and napoleon and her travels in a Basecamp. I’m following your adventures.
She's been a total inspiration to me!! Thanks for following!
Water saver tip. Get you a sport water bottle with the flip top and use the water bottle water to flush the toilet, it saves fresh water and extends the water in your holding tank.
Yeah I saw that they had put those tankless water heaters in the airstream, unfortunately they waste so much water just trying to get the hot water to start because it doesn’t come out hot right away so you waste so much water waiting for that heated water. until you have figured out a different way such as getting rid of that tankless water heater I would suggest you have a showerhead that has an on/off switch so that you’re not actually turning off the water you’re just stopping it from coming out and that way the water should remain hot. I’m not absolutely sure about that but I think that is how that would work. Anyway congratulations and it’s all gonna be great and proud of you so hang in there.
I live full time in my rv and I have electric and water hook ups. I save space in my black tank by not putting TP in it, I put it in a closed garbage can with a bag and then throw it out with all my other garbage. I also wash my hair in my sink, put it up in a towel and then finish my shower when water warms up again, hope that helps😁❤️
Sounds like ya got yer head wrapped around the crux of the biscuit. Ya seem to be in a great energy for your situation. Good luck, little lady!
Cute pupper . 🦮
Your owners manual is a great source of information in print. Where you are posting to has tons of video info you can watch also. GL and have fun!
There is a tubular insulation (think pool noodle but less colorful and more flexible lol) available for hoses and such. Slip it over your entire water hose in freezing temps when you’re hooked up. You can also use on the water lines in the belly of the rv if they’re loose enough (not firmly affixed to floors and such) and under the sinks. Made it through a couple of freezing winters. But I was stationary with insulation surrounding the rv from ground to floor too, so that kept cold air out from under the rv.
Stumbled across your video and have enjoyed watching your journey. On the cold nights when connected to shore power we use a small electric heater that we picked up from a local camping store. We also have a smaller camper (20 ft) and this small heater (like 7 in wide x 9 in tall) was around $20. It cranks out more than enough heat to keep you warm. Main thing to keep in mind with the heater is how many amps it pulls. You are on a 30 amp unit and the heater will probable run 12-15 amps itself. Long story short is on shore power when the heat pump quits this will be much easier. Plus it will not burn through your propane. Save that for when 100% boon docking. Keep it up!!!!!
Good info this something I might be doing this year living the Trailer life 👌
If you are able to run a separate extension cord out of the camper to the shore power to use ONLY for the heater it will allow you to have dedicated power to just the heater itself. This will take the strain off of the campers power (sharing with heater + lights, tv, radio, ect)
You have a ton of good comments so I don't know if I'm repeating something... I usually drain the black water tank first, then close that valve and then drain the grey water tank. That way the less nasty flushes out the extra nasty. Just in case nobody told you... you really, REALLY need to use the "quick dissolve" toilet paper. While it's not "important" for what I expect is the facilities in your camper... regular TP can get wedged into the valve and make it hard to open and close and that's a real pain to clean up. And, (last bit of cheap internet nobody advice) think about getting a shorter (and cheap) sewer hose. That's a lot of length to keep clean and many National Parks/Forests have the old style metal covers for the Dump stations and you can't stick the hose in the hole with that big flange and elbow. It's just nice to stick the pipe in and not have to worry about anything flying out... Plus, that's a lot of hose for some of the tighter Dump Stations (in the National Forest dump station up here you can only get a few feet from the hole). But don't worry, everybody has adventures. Up here (Eastern Washington) there was a person who bought a new camper (during covid everybody was going camping) and after an enjoyable camping trip went to the dump station and didn't know the valves were open so when they removed the cap they were instantly the Grand Marshal in the Poo Parade. Stuff Happens :>)
We run our tankless heater at the highest temp.. that works the best for us… since the pump cycles water is not scolding hot at all,,,, very comfortable….
I am a traveler nurse and thinking of buying an RV and coming across your channel...like you, I have no idea about RV or what to do with it... since I have spent so much on renting and finding places... I really want a piece of mind having my own place no matter where I go...
I’m sure someone else has mentioned it, but re: water heat in shower...attach a flow-stopper on your shower head, on the handle area. Then, just flip it closed while you lather up. Simply flip the stopper open, and you’ve got the same temp water as when you stopped. Key is to not turn off your water pressure...just flip the stopper switch.
Wow, you have had to buy so much more than what was sold at the dealership lot, but you are learning so much, you are now an expert
You are fearless! This is why I am on my way to an RV Owner's Class. No RV purchased yet, but just want to being the process of learning what could happen.
You will get used to all the things. The learning curve is steep. Don’t lose heart!
A shower miser can assist with ensuring less water waste and warmth while turning on and off.
When traveling you might want to consider mirror extensions for your mirrors - will help you see the trailer better
I just started full-time rvng a month ago and you are right, it is a learning experience. Best of luck.
Should be a switch or lever at the shower head to stop water flow without turning off the shower
a shorter stinky slinky makes dumping easier. I like to use the shortest length possible.
"Stinky slinky!" I love it. That made me giggle.
Being a new be is great,each day is an adventure. You will soon learn all that you'll need to know. Love your new Airstream and your Beautiful Dog. Good luck on your new adventure.
We use a small electric heater in our camper . Never use the propane. I like it so much better. My husband takes care of everything , but I’m learning on my own so i can have a small one for my sewing machine & me! Lol
Cute as a button. Welcome to full time rv life. Lots of FT RV stuff on you tube.
we have a husky in our vintage RV Holiday Rambler based in the smoky mountains, Angel the husky loves her nature walks / learning the RV and having issues is normal, even in a brand new RV
I do it too. Excellent vid. 💚
You are a trooper, thats for sure. Your vids will definitely help out anyone else doing it for the first time.
Love your videos keep em coming !
You are so dang cute to watch - you are real - and that is great! I commend you for researching and learning...
So excited for you!
Awesome videos. Keep up your amazing attitude!
Your doing great 👍 keep us posted!
Can't wait to see all the awesome videos!!
Great channel! Very excited to follow along.
I would suggest buying a small portable tub and storing it where you can that way you can heat water up and fill it slowly but you can take your time bathing and get in a good soak. I saw where one lady bought one from the co-op. It's about 3ft wide I think and of course has a drain. Also a generator and a small heater and heat blanket. And maybe a couple more solar panels with lithium batteries, I heard it was more than enough except for maybe the air conditioner. Cheers.
Hi . Sarah. I'm Soo glad you out of all the vaners/ RV mobile.. tell all the he difficulties can happen.. u are probably the Third.
Congrats.. Look at alot of video of vanners or ppl in the same home u have .. Good luck and see u on your journey 🙏👍🥰
Your doing great! Keep your spirits up! Like you said it’s empowering to get thru the sticky stuff! Happy travels 😊
Well done Sarah, hi from New Zealand 😎
Old Airstreams were one thing... This new stuff... Is something else... You'll realize that sooner or later... Good luck... 'Nuff said!!!...
Inspiring ! You can do this !❤️
Never did travel nursing but have camped in several types of RVs for many years. Little learning curve but definitely worth it. Good luck. I will be following your adventures. It seems like you are on the right track and should enjoy traveling and your little home on wheels.
You go girl!!!!
You are so refreshing. Keep moving forward and you will get the hang of it all. Good luck to you and safe travels.
So proud of you 👍
You’re my hero!
Stumbled across your channel. I have been considering taking this plunge. Lots of things to ponder! I can't wait to follow your journey in the mean time!
Love that you are sharing with us, and taking in stride your downs, after all, they are learning curves.
You got this! So looking forward to more videos. 💙
Welcome to full time RVing!!
Xx
Shann
I really enjoy your videos!
Wow Sarah, love your videos. I have been thinking of doing something like this. Great information for I haven't begun to think of the things u have experienced already. Cute dog also. Thanks for sharing and hope to see more of your trials in this new way to live for u.
I would recommend joining an airstream group on Facebook. You can search questions/issues and also get good information that can prove to be useful. Good luck.
Truly admire what you’re doing with this journey. I want to travel around in an RV when I retire
You go girl I’m proud of you.
Great Job. I haul a 30ft TT. My hubs has macular so I do all the hauling, backing, etc. We live full time in Ours, in SC.
Hello, nice airstream! Be safe on your travels!!
you doing a great job!
Woooohoooo!!!! So happy for w
Hi Sarah, in no time at all you will be a pro! There are so many little things to learn about RV life but you got this! We don’t own an Airstream but we recently bout or 5th travel trailer and I am still learning new things all the time. The RV community can be so helpful and a great resource, looking forward to following your journey🙂
1. There are a number of online forums just for Full time RV's and I'm sure there is one for Airstreams, this is your best friends as they have been there did that and wore out that tee shirt. 2. Find a small (Oil) electric heater (check the number of watts/amps it pulls) this will take care of your heating problems and control your sweating both in the summer and winter. 3. Next is Back up power, a small Honda gen set and look at a stand-alone (not hooked directly to your trailer) solar generator/battery set (they are online all over the place. 4.Get and keep filled another propane tank (you should have space for two). 5. start looking at backup water tanks (BTW water weights about 8.5 pounds per galleon) so also look for a way to transfer it from your car to your trailer (small electric pump). 6. stay away from Camping and RV dealers when buying stuff. Most stuff you will need you can buy at big box hardware stores or Walmart and even online. 7. Buy and learn to use a small hand tool set, screwdrivers, hammer ect. they sell them everywhere. 8. Look at getting a "Solo Camp Stoves" they burn twigs and you can cook on them. Watch their video. Have fun camping
Awesome!💐
Love all the windows
Girl, you are the “bomb!” I’m so very proud of you! Yes, you are empowered and you will do very well in your Airstream and rv life. I’ve been with the rv community for 9 months. I recently traded my Winnebago in for a 2022 Thor Compass 23TW. Boy, am I starting over. And, yes, it is a learning experience no matter how long you’ve own an rv. The very best to you. I’m so excited for you and will continue to follow your journey. We can learn together!!🤗
Great vid. Thanks for keeping it real. Glad you're learning the ropes. You will be ready for boondocking in no time.
Second post sorry. Bigger batteries will help you start with a couple lithiums. You'll have to keep them inside a few 100 watt solar panels but it's not going to save you in the event of low light or high usage of power. Heat pumps suck. They just do. If your plugged in I use a oil heater works amazing in a small camper. Propane heat...... Sucks! I actually put a wood stove in my trailer which was scary and 12 volt tank heaters for winters. Not telling you to do this yourself just giving you examples to think outside the box. Propane is expensive and if your off grid heat pump won't work. I have heard of diesel heaters being a great fix for this. Airstreams are awesome but not perfect as we expect them to be out of the box. Good luck and have tons of fun!
I just saw your video and am so happy for you. Safe travels. Your videos are interesting, keep us informed on your adventure
I’m really enjoying your journey and can so relate as we first started a year ago next week. The initial learning curve on any RV is a bit steep but I feel like after about 15 nights it calms down. RV’ing improves your trouble shooting skills not to mention your patience. Can’t wait to see where you go next!
Congratulations! You made it!
Hey great job, best of luck and I hope you have Many great travels and adventures. Can’t wait to see you in NJ.
Hi Sarah- you’re doing great. I also work for a hospital and would love to travel with my camper. For now I’m staying put. But someday. One thing I do when boondocking is to get a garden sprayer and paint it black- let it heat up in the sun- then shower using that warm water. I’m sure you could find examples on here. Good luck
A pressurized garden sprayer makes an excellent shower (especially with a hand-held spray nozzle attached to the hose), but it's easy to heat shower water on the stove and pour it into the sprayer before pumping it up. We use a dutch oven for heating up the water. Bonus -- if your trailer is a little chilly, heating the water on the stove helps warm it up before you hop in the shower.
I’m glad I found you channel. It has inspired me not to give up when I experience these snags.
You've got this!
... Nice job Ms Sarah .. Fun watchin' YA struggle .. TY .. Love Kelly .. !!!
Thanks for your videos. Your so smart and independent. Love the videos.
From one Airstreamer to another well done. Our first rv 5 years ago it was definitely an adventure but it gets easier. Well done and enjoy your content
First of all you are so beautiful and honest. Thank you so much, I'm from Chile, planning to go to the states for a long time and live in some sort of travel trailer, so your videos are really helpful.
That is my DREAM RV! I am so proud of you! You go girl! ❤️
🙏🏻💜😉you can do it!
