if you guys are going up to either moraine or Meline lake in Banff you can't park @ one or the other (don't remember which). they have shuttle buses that will take you from the Lake Louise ski area parking lot to the lake. the parking @ the lakes has always been too small for the volume of people wanting to see those beauty spots.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing that! We did find that out and reserved our shuttle a few weeks back but we are certain there are going to be a lot of disappointed folks this year. Very important for people to know so we thank you!
@@lifebetweentheditches1307 they are also limiting RV length to at or below 29' 11". Looks like your Airstream Globetrotter 30RB is an inch too long. 🤣 j/k. Looking forward to seeing it in action!! :)
Surely an Airstream can just “suck in” and make itself a foot shorter or longer when you need it to? Right? It’s an Airstream!! Their build is unparalleled 🤣 👏👏
Love how the truck color matches the AS. That is our dream someday. Probably a 27FB because we really like the 'hatch'. Enjoy the trip to BC. We were there last summer and had a great time. Especially loved Jasper. Tons of great hikes. Be sure to stop by the Fairmont Lodge for a drink on the deck overlooking the lake.
Thank you for the recommendation! We love suggestions!!! We had to laugh about the truck matching the RV. Jim has spent years wishing our truck and RV were coordinating and he finally got lucky with that!!
Congratulations on your new rig, sorry you could stay in Texas any longer than you did. We have so much to show you and give back. Waiting on your first adventure in the Airstream. Congrats again on your new rig. --Bob Central Texas
We promise to let you know when we come back to Texas so you can help us on where to go! There is so much to see in such a large state that we will definitely take all advice that locals are willing to offer.
I love JASPER better . IT's a little less crowded and just as beautiful Thanks for the update on the reservation system. I hope it's better then the old one.
Jasper is so beautiful!!!! We can’t wait to explore more of Canada 🇨🇦 this summer! We think the people are so lovely because they are surrounded by such beauty all the time!
Parks Canada! Ha! As soon as you are on, select and save, your campsite is all reserved! Everybody in Canada? I guess! Banff: most researched and desired…but the best! Great travel plans guys! We’ll be looking out for you ;-) No worries, we won’t bother you! Enjoy BC!
16 hours is a long drive to get an camper, no matter the brand make and model. Was the price that good. Just curious, because we’re looking at an International here where we live in the Panhandle of Florida. Maybe we should drive to Texas also. Please share your reasoning and thoughts. We’re total newbies to RV’ing
Definitely shop the deal! The difference for us was around $6000 when you include the lithium batteries DFW included. It has been our experience that any given dealer may have the better deal on any given day, regardless the brand. We walked away from a Grand Design 20 minutes from our house for one that was 1 hour from our house and it was a $3000 difference. We shopped our Airstream through 6 dealers. Make sure to look at the deal as a whole. What all is included. Any dealer or prep fees? Etc. Good luck and enjoy the process!
We considered several dealers (including NC/SC). None of the dealers in close proximity to us had the model/color we wanted. We narrowed it down to 3 or 4 that had the exact model we wanted in stock and then negotiated with each of them. Airstream of DFW gave us the best overall deal and included lithium batteries so best deal on top of customer service won them our business. The sales people at 2 of the other dealers were also very professional and 1 was just a train wreck.

We never get tired of Banff! BUT we also only come in the summer. Definitely keep an eye out! We hope you find us and come around for a chat!

Just curious why you drove from Charlotte to Dallas for the Airstream, did you consider the Airstream dealerships in NC or SC?
