- In the third of four videos presenting the UK Line-Up of Airstream Travel Trailers, Dougal and I visit Lowdhams of Nottingham, the UK's only dealership for new UK Airstreams, and we look at the Airstream International 684.
In this mini-series we will be taking a look at all four UK models, and you can find the links of the other models below:
Airstream 534: • Airstream 534 walk thr...
Airstream 604: • Airstream 604 walk thr...
Airstream 25IB: Will be uploaded soon
By taking a walk-through of each model, we will be comparing each on with the others in the range, to help you decide which one is the right one for you.
These are NOT full reviews, but if it's more detailed Airstream content you are after, please check out my Airstream Playlist on my channel, where you will find full reviews and travel videos.

We are very Lucky this week Andrew 3 vidéos from you🥳
Big kisses from France 🇨🇵 and thank you 👍
Our pleasure! And a fourth one coming on Sunday :)
Think I'm in love with this Airstream. Can't wait to see the ib25. Thanks for sharing!
Really enjoying this series Andrew! Can’t wait to see you back in your own Airstream. 😊
Keep your fingers crossed Katrina...
One easy decision...Dougal is the real keeper here!
Beautiful
I love dougals paw on your neck. Somebody is a lucky puppy!
Oh wow!! Beautiful! That extra width really makes one hell of a difference! Yes, you'd need a very big motor to tow that one! Thank you for showing us this model and for the whole series, looking forward to seeing the last one! You still rock!! Any news about your baby?! Hopefully you can pop over (just like that!) to Germany soon! Just remembered, Dusseldorf is on soon isn't it?!! Keep on doing what you do best! Hugs xxx
I'm quietly keeping my fingers crossed Anne. Not saying anything because we all know how quickly the rug can be pulled from under us...
Great videos Andrew. Really enjoying your content. 👌🏻
Cheers David!
Oooooo.... decision time!! Another added to wish list!!
Beautiful caravan but out of my price range I’m afraid and on top of that a huge tow car would be required as well, still superb though 👍👍👍👍👍
Very nice!
It’s a 684 or 25IB for myself but wife is happy with 604 so 2022 beckons with a silver lining but still holding for a Eurocentric FB with rear door hatch for the hauling bikes
Update Jan 22 - now a happy owner of a new to us 684 2.5
Be more Dougal!! If you watch Jacob's ridge videos you'll understand what I mean! Great video as always!l
Another lovely caravan but to wide to fit down my driveway.
VERY low to ground. Coupled with the length I'd be wary of many camping areas on this side of the pond. Interior is great.
Believe it or not, they used to be even lower when on BPW chassis... I speak from painful experience!
@@andrewjditton ouch!
The long suffering Dougal 🐶
I do enjoy seeing what Airstream is doing in England.
Thanks Andrew, can you tell us please what was the white thing at the bedroom end of the sink countertop? It sort of looks like a roller blind???
Downunda - Class C owner, Melbourne Australia
Yes, it's blind in front of an open shelving unit, to keep the stuff in place on the road.
Thanks Andrew. Gorgeous but yikes ; cost as much as a house. Plus the cost of a vehicle to tow it! Some of us can only dream. 🙃
I really want to buy a 684, but I don't understand how a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is featured on the Airstream Europe website towing this van, is heavy enough to tow? I have a Ford Ranger Raptor and as far as I can tell, the European site says the van is too heavy (2920kg) MTPLM for the raptors 2500kg limit, but the UK says MTPLM is 2400kg for the 684?! I'm so confused.
Rangerover discovery?
Yeah but we knew what Andrew meant.
I just saw an airstream 685 with bunk beds in the germany airstream dealership. Is that something that you can do a review on.
Sadly not, as it is no longer made!
Which one is your favorite if money was no object?
That's a toughie! I guess it would be a 684, but realistically a 534 :)
@@andrewjditton I think 684 is the winner 🥰.. but as a solo traveller I would choose 604 over 534 just because I love cooking!:)) Still working on those dreams..someday..
Which is the size of the bed?
I think I prefer the Hymer 820
ANDREW Haloooo, you still have yourbAIRSTREAM?, I recalled you sold GLENIS thanks for your kind words re: ; my wife, BTW AMAZON US sells TREERIPE sodas,,also been getting the GINGERALE @COSTCO here too, I need to see if I can arrange to get a shipment of that GIN you introduced us to Stay well enjoy your time , cheers 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸🇺🇸
Fingers crossed I collect my Airstream from Germany in a couple of weeks :)
How are people going to tow these things once diesel and petrol engined cars are banned? An electric car will kill it's battery in no time towing this.
Good question. Although a Tesla Model X can already tow two of the range. Let's see how tech reacts.
@@andrewjditton Got to hope that the enghineering and science in the battery/electric motor world really starts to make big improvements across the board.
Absolutely a question that comes up regularly between my wife and I. We have a new Swift Elegance 835 and a Discovery 5, which we need, due to having 2 big dogs. Don't think a Tesla Model X would have enough space for dog cage and gear, let alone the range for a decent trip
towing weight has NOTHING to do with kerb weight of the tow vehicle.. range rover classic can tow that has its had a tow weight of 4 ton in normal high range and 8 ton in low range. weight of the classic was just 1,700 kilo..... all series land rovers can tow it and none of them were over 1500 kilo.. you can tow this with many many motors with nowhere near the kerb weight of this thing..... the 85% rule is a total myth put about by tosspots ... same with the 1005 rule all myths. you have to go by the manufacturers towing weight (unless you up rate the vehicle yourself then get it re plated ). you have to nowdays go by tow vehicles max train weight, then also combine the cars max permisable gross weight and the caravan/trailer gross weight.....
Having towed a snaking caravan and managed not to have it all end in disaster, I'll stick to the established laws of physics. Thanks for watching!
u.k. version? it used to be the European version. Brexit everywhere :-(
They have always been marketed separately despite being essentially the same trailers. There are small differences such as upholstery etc. Thanks for watching.
