    It's taken us 6 months to finally film the RV tour of home on wheels. This 22fb Airstream sport has become our tiny home on wheels. Originally we wanted to live the Van life, but after much consideration we decided to get a travel trailer, and what better brand than an Airstream. It's surprising how comfortable we've become in a 22 foot trailer with our new ‪@battlebornbatteries‬ .

    Just wanted to say that this was by far the best tour I've seen. You guys are very likable. Your airstream is beautiful but I agree with having the bigger bathroom as definitely needed. The espresso machine, well, definitely have to have that!! I wouldn't be without it either. Nice machine too. I'm subscribing for sure. Thank you for the great tour!!

    I’m not sure if you mentioned this or not but as someone who has been camping for 30+ years, I just want to add that you should never keep your grey and black tanks open when you’re connected to sewer. Always wait until they’re full (and if they’re not, add water first) before you open the valves and empty them. I also recommend using a 90 at your water connection on the outside of the trailer. It keeps it from having that downward pressure on the connector.

    • @Roamaroo
      @Roamaroo  3 года назад +2

      Thanks for the tip.. 😀 we always appreciate some knowledge from a expert like yourself. I knew we need water in the tanks before emptying them. what do you think about this situation - Camping for ~4 days, leave the gray tank open until the last day - close it, allow the gray tank to fill up the last day, then just before leaving empty the black and gray tank. This allows us to have gray water to flush out any "crud" from the black tank.

    Very good video! My wife enjoyed seeing all of your organization/storage solutions! One Thing though..... It appears in the bathroom that you have a continuous open black tank drain when hooked up to public sewage. That is not good! Keep your black tank valve closed. Keep a solution of water/chemical waste breakdown/deodorizer at all times in the back tank. That will breakdown the #2 waste and degradable RV toilet paper. Empty the black tank when it is near full. Rinse black tank with your hose thru the black tank flush inlet on outside of the airstream. This will keep your black tank much cleaner than keeping the black tank valve continuously open. Leaving that valve always open can also lead to unwanted problems with the black tank, and allow unwanted gases from the public sewage system to backup into your airstream.

    I have the same model Bambi but from 2012 and it's exactly the same. Like your upgrades and I might do those one day ( I just camp and not a full timer). I did remove the cumbersome awkward table as it is really too big for the space and found a nice round one which has a height adjustable hydraulic so it serves as a coffee table (low) or a regular dining table or even up high as additional counter space. My airstream came with a convection microwave oven that also has a grill / broiler (Cuisinart) which is awesome and I use it to cook all the time when camping. I do have a generator for extra power when boon docking and a decent size farm water tank that sits in the bed of my truck with additional water that a tiny transfer pump tops up the Bambi's own fresh water tank when it gets low. You guys have certainly made good use of all the available space.

    Thank you for the tour. I'm always curious to see everyone storage solutions. We started with a 23cb which was so cozy. We could not get a good night sleep in the small corner bed. Another problem was the throne which was on top of a box. My feet wouldn't touch the floor while trying to use the throne. We traded up to a 25rb which is a queen and now we can both get in and out without crawling over each other. I also enjoy the refrigerator/freezer upgrade. We were told by Airstream, it's not uncommon for people to upgrade no matter where they start.

    21:00 - With solar for boondocking becoming more common on RVs/campers, I'm surprised that chest refrigerators/freezers haven't gained any traction, due to how stupidly energy efficient they are. You know, the ones that open from the top. In my opinion, they would be perfect for campers, since they would function as additional counter space, and you could still have storage above them as long as the top opens all the way.

    Good video! We also have a 22FB sport. Every time I see the decorative cushions on the rear side of the bed/airstream under window we get hopeful someone has figured out how to reconfigure the bed for easier ingress/egress. Somewhere I saw where someone had done some major surgery on this unit to make 2 twins. Love your lithium setup btw! One thing that I am thinking about is reconfiguring the kitchen seating area. It is not that comfortable to sit on the window side with the narrow seating cushions, and there is just two of us. Also with that change perhaps a table reconfigure might be in order… anyway, really like the Airstream brand, and your/our unit! Thank you for posting, super informative…

    • @Roamaroo

    I wanted to add some more clarity for the new 2021 models for Airstream. The Bambi line still becomes pretty standard as the one that they have here, but the Caravel line which has the same exact sizes and floorplans as the Bambi model comes standard with an inverter and one solar panel. Those models still have the regular batteries but airstream offers a package that allows you to upgrade to battle born battery is in full solar.

      If you're planning on short trips it's okay, but if you plan on living in it I would look at bigger ones first. With that said, this is an AMAZING beginner trailer. Due to its smaller size, we've gotten away with some silly mistakes. ie. driving on the wrong road with low bridges, pulling into a dead end and turning around. If we had a bigger trailer we might have caused some damage to it or gotten "stuck"

I did not see it on your Amazon page but think that would be a great investment as we mostly dry camp and don't really want to use our generator unless we have too.

    I wasn’t going to say anything, but after reading comments, you could use some educated help. Throwing used towelette paper in a waste basket is a health hazard. Please stop doing that. The tablets that you put down into your black tank are designed to dissolve toilet paper. Never leave a black tank valve open for extended lengths of time. How would the tank tablets work? RV plumbing is different from home plumbing. Don’t open your window or turn on your fan before using your toilet. That would create a draft that would pull smells out of the black tank and into your trailer. Open the window and turn on the fan afterwards. That will take care of most of the tank smells you are experiencing. That along with black tank tablets should take care of it completely. Dr. Dana.

      Thanks for the tips.. 😀. I think there’s a little confusion with our practices. We don’t leave the black tank open. Sometimes I leave the gray tank open.
      🤔How is it a problem running the fan when in the bathroom? Our toilet holds water in the bowl and is sealed, so no black tank fumes are pulled into the trailer. Is that still an issue? Lastly, how is disposing of toilet paper waste a health hazard 🤔. You seem like quite the expert. I like to learn from people like you 😀

It was good to see you laying in the front bed for size perspective, but would also be good to hear more commentary and/or demo of how to get out at night!

      One word of caution.. if you have the electric fridge (our 22 has an electric only fridge) it will consume most of that 200 watts of solar. We have to “plug” our Bambi into our generator when every 3rd day when boondocking.. however, we also use a cappuccino machine and blender every day. 😀

      We were given the recommendation when we first started. It wasn't that big of an inconvenience so we thought it was an easy thing to follow. One of the reasons was because our trailer has a black tank flushing nozzle inside the tank (i think a lot of trailers have this). Supposedly, the holes of the nozzle can be clogged by toilet paper.

    Question - is there a cut out gap above your toilet door for the air to vent ?
    So basically when you are on the toilet, your partner can hear everything?! 😳
    I think I would prefer a vent in the bathroom and a toilet door that closes completely for some privacy like in most other Airstream models! :) or maybe when living in such close quarters there is no privacy anymore 😂!
