5 Things We Love and Hate About Our 2020 Airstream Caravel 16Rb
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- It's been officially 2 months living in our mini 16 footer Airstream and while we are loving and enjoying our time traveling and exploring, we have came to love many things about it, but also things that we would appreciate Airstream if they can take some of the things mentioned in this video in consideration. Other than that, we are enjoying our trailer and we hope to explore more places with it!

Get the Andersen Camper Leveler. It makes leveling your camper soo much easier!! And you can get rid of all the leveling blocks in your outside storage. Love the trailer. Enjoy!
Nice trailer! Seems that the things you "hate" aren't really all that bad, but I could see how these inconviences can be a tad frustrating..especially the USB ports.
May i suggest replacing your window decal?! That is not the correct way to spell prosperity. You've completely forgotten the 2nd 'p'.
I just love these two. Living the best life.... good for them
I always love RV couples, the dog is a bonus. Excellent and honest review Happy journeys.
You two are awesome. The energy and effort you put in cheers the hell out of me. I really wish you two the best. Keep up the positivity and ambitious determination through the hard and the ease and I’m sure folks like you will make it where ya need to be in life.
We learned the hard way as well. Always setting off the alarm.. You don't have to take out the battery. Just open the exhaust fan vent. There should be a little tab on the vent outside your airstream..
My husband and I just found your channel.... we love it!! Thank you for your honesty good and bad!
Thank you very much! 😊💛🙏
I read somewhere that putting a shower cap over the smoke alarm, while cooking will stop it from going off. Just remember to take it off when you're finished!
Such a lovely couple! I really enjoyed the energy.
Enjoyed the review. How cool that you’re traveling to all 50 states. You’re making great memories especially with your dog! What a nice young couple. Happy Trails!
I just finished watching an introduction and tour of the 2021 16 Airstream. It covered two things that you mentioned that you hated. The bin at the head of the bed was mentioned as a clothes hamper. The two cushions you stored under the table were placed against the wall with curved side out to give that additional bed space more of a rectangular look! Enjoy your journey, you gained another follower!
Beautiful Airstream camper! Thank you for taking the time to show us around!
The two pillows that you don’t like. They belong on the silver area in the shape of the pillows to create a headboard or side back lounge. Nice video
Your logo is 🔥
Great job on the video! Love your wife's reaction when pulling out the battery. LOL
Seems that the things you love far outweigh the things you don't love about it. Good luck on your journey.
Fair assessment of your Airstream! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
You guys are awesome! I've been researching the Caravel line of Airstreams and there is a lot to like about each of them. I subscribed and can't wait for new content. :)
That's awesome! Thanks for the Sub and welcome to the TJOP Movement!
I love your video!! The way you present things is great and most of all you make me smile!!!! Thanks!
the 5 things you hate are minor. you can have an electrician add USB ports, you can leave the battery out of the one smoke detector. the trailer's small enough that the other one will work for you. if the cushion bothers you, throw it out. u can buy a toilet paper holder online. it's a great little trailer. happy travels!
Beautiful couple, thanks for sharing your adventure.
Loved your video. We have a 2019 International Serenity and have the exact same love/hate list. Hope @Airstream finds you. You are great ambassadors for the brand!
Glad to find you guys. You are such a cute couple and I love your home. Thank you for the great tour! Enjoy your journey! (Jane in SC)
When I was in my preteen years my Grandparents/guardians lived in two travel trailers 24 wilderness(Grandparents,Sister and I) for 3years. After my Sister(4yrs older) had her 14th she got tired of all the traveling and asked to be sent home to CA to be with our mother. Grandparents and I continue Ed to travel until I had my 14th we returned to CA so I could finish High School(class of ‘86).
Great review with tons of humor especially concerning the smoke alarm lol
Aaawww...you two are an adorable couple. I also travel with my travel trailer to enjoy all of God's amazing creations such as nature! You guys have an amazing Air Stream!
Y’all are freaking delightful! Thanks for making this video and being so entertaining ☺️
Looks so great. You have to live with only what you need. I'm impressed.
You guys are great! Lots of minimalist today.
Cute couple, seems like more and more young people are catching up to this life style
I’m disappointed at seeing airstreams plastic slider upper cabinets...... a big step down from cabinets. I don’t want to even part way see what’s in there. Weird. We love airstream and so I guess we will be looking for used now
It’s because it’s been hard when purchase power has decline since the 80’s and 90’s
Susan Carlson it helps with the weight or load you have to tow.
@@standarsh2186 Exactly! More and more young couples can't afford a home.
A comment on our young people being able to afford a house is. "true that," as our government is allowing, Chinese no slam on the "Chinese nation" but allowing their cash money to, come into Cali and buy houses $900,000 +, to bypass citizenship visas.
Such a great video it made me smile the entire time. Thanks guys for the information.
Absolutely!!! ..Inspirational!! Thank you! Y’all are so cute and thank you for sharing!!! Very informative and great content. I’m glad I subscribed
Awesome video! Thank you so much for your information! Wishing you safe and fun travels!!
If those 5 things are the worst things about this trailer, then I think it's a pretty damned good trailer!!
Ditto. I like this model quite a bit.
That’s what I thought. It seems very nice!
The cutting board should not be in the list.
I agree- pretty lame complaints! lol
Hello cuties! I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, yet, however, your two cushions should not be on the Top 5 Dislike List. They DO have a very specific purpose! 😉🥰 Remove your two "storageless" cushions, switch them around from where they were previously positioned, then press them against the front of the coach. They protect you from the width side of the coach by allowing a third edge of cushioning. Hope this helps to dwindle down your list! 💕
Great video! I have a Airstream, I took the battery’s out of the smoke detectors too! Get a 90 degree elbow for your water hose they cost about 10 bucks and will save you hundreds in the long run. The weight of the water hose connecting directly wears out the connector. Keep up the great content & safe travels.
Cute couple and gorgeous doggie! Great assessment of airstream as well 😀
You guys are adorable! Happy travels. :)
Y’all are adorable and much good wishes for your travels! I hope you like AK! Thanks for sharing 😄
First time I watched one of your videos, Great Job!! I enjoyed the info as well as the presentation.
Pretty cool!!! Can’t wait to see the rest of your journey. 🤗 I saw our home in the background lol 😂....
Thank you! 😁🙏
This was a super cute review! Thanks for sharing. As someone who lived in a camper for a few years while building a house, I appreciate the things you listed as likes and dislikes. lol, that fire alarm would drive me bonkers too!
Hello folks, welcome to the Airstream Family ! Your aft wrap around glass panoramic windows will accommodate the dark tinted privacy/stone shields that are standard on the Forward panoramic windows vastly improving you experience. My 2020 27’ Globetrotter was up fitted at the Las Vegas Airstream Dealership Service Department and we love it sooooo much better. And your smoke detectors are not hard wired in, they’re only held in place with dual sided stickers so you may reset them where ever you think is best. Have fun & be safe.
IKEA toilet paper roll holder.. it’s green and will stick to the wall.. east to pull off for the wet bath. Mine is awesome.
entertaining, informative and fun video...thank you! You're a great couple. (made me laugh with the fart sound haha)
You did spread great vibes!
The two of you are impossibly cute. Best of luck to you on your adventure!
Thanks for the insights regarding your Airstream. You seem like very nice people. Best wishes.
Thanks you two. I enjoyed your videos. Look forward to your channel.
Cute couple, thanks for sharing !
Good video. I am getting a Classic Airstream in November. I am very excited about it!🤓
Wife and I are about to purchase a 22 ‘ Bambi. We found your evaluations quite informative. As for the toilet paper, maybe you could purchase a small plastic container for them. That would keep them dry until ready.
But overall, you guys made a wise choice in buying the Caravel and you look like you’re living large. Happy trails.
Good looking couple! Nice Airstream guys! Safe travels!
I love the trailer, if those 5 things are the worse you hate, it’s actually not so bad! Love it!
Thank you! Very helpful. Very good observations. I am in the market for a 16'. This is definitely helpful!!
What a cute couple. That suspension music is so funny. I wish there was a lot more storage..
Love your energy! Hope all is well with you this year, just found your channel and liked/subbed!
Helpful; my wife and I are thinking about getting an Airstream, so this sort of stuff is good to know!
You two are ADORABLE!!! Enjoy your travels!
Absolutely adorable $100,000+ setup.
LOL. You 2 are cute. Obviously doing something correct at your age to have that Range Rover tugging around that airstream. Sometimes I critique videos.. but you know what.. this was not a video to critique because you are just sharing your personal feelings. And we are all welcome to having them. In fact I was going to just pass by w/out a comment, but I could not resist sharing a thought or 2. :). Cushion storage idea: velcro them to the ceiling or wall(s). Cutting board: when not in use over the sink, place in the shower.(if you don't want to put it under a cushion) And I 100% agree about that smoke detector. I would be ripping that battery out in frustration as well. Stay safe and happy. :)
W W it’s a used RR Sport. They don’t hold their value because they have major reliability issues and are expensive to fix. You can buy them cheap. They seem baller, but they’re not.
its called huge debt..better off getting a house with these low interest rates. with the Airstream at 65K. range rover lets guess the same 65k oh boy 130K. looks like they are just in some bland camp ground,probably within 10 miles of mom/dad
Thanks for sharing. We are going to shy away from an airstream although we bought the new Defender. Don't forget to set your interior LEDs to red when you're outside at night and it won't screw up your night vision when you come in to mix a drink!
How cute are you guys! Thank you, enjoyed your video.
You guys are so adorable. Enjoy your adventure and love the video.
Love this!! Thank you so much for the review!!
Love the vibes
Seems like you could fix the "hate" of the cutting board by getting some strong magnets and mounting them on the underside of the cutting board -- when you don't want to use it, just let the magnets hold it to the convenient metal backsplash behind your stove. That will keep it within reach for prep work but out of the way and secure for travel.
We love our 2019 16-RB, but some things have needed fixing fairly quickly under warranty. The biggest was that the entry door would not shut and lock properly pretty much from the get-go, and its deadbolt would not engage. They re-aligned the entry door and its companion screen door at the Jackson Center, Ohio factory service center, and they both work well now and lock. The dinette's table leg release button failed, and they replaced it (would not unlock without forcing it). Finally, the window seals around the front center window rock guard are failing and coming loose from each corner, and the back window seals are separating already. We will have fixed under warranty likely this year.
Now, being brand new to this and knowing no better, we unwittingly improperly discharged our dual AGM batteries below 11.0 volts while dry camping thinking the electric tow cable would simply re-charge them on the trip home, etc. Wrong. A very, very expensive lesson. The batteries became worthless boat anchors in less than one season. We are definitely educated now. Like yours, our new ($600+) AGM batteries are always attached to a solar panel or solar trickle charger, and we NEVER discharge AGM batteries below 12.2 volts without re-charging. When parked in storage for an extended period of time, the internal battery "kill" switch is not sufficient due to Airstream's notorious parasitic electronic draw. You must disconnect the negative batter cable as well at the source if not trickle charging.
Very very cute couple! Made me laugh. Love your airstream trailer🥰
The guy is adorable
You kids are beautiful and I look forward to watching you both.
Great fun watching you two.
Hey you guys are adorable. New sub here. May I suggest you make a lounge couch with your “extra pillows” you hate. That is what we do in ours. ♥️
You guys are awesome! I think part of the problem is that Airstream is slow to adapt to new situations. They were slow to adapt to people using airstreams for uses other than retirees and family camping - it took forever to get an airstream for the outdoor sports portion of the community (the basecamp, and it is overpriced for the people in that community! which is why we all do sprinter vans, and subaru/scamps) they need to realize that with the tiny house movement people - like you! - are now living full time in their airstreams. Airstream makes great products but they are out of touch with the real world.
I love the pan shot to the better and less expensive camper in the video
The music! 😨😂 Very good and honest review. Looking at the 2021 model.
That is a cute trailer. Thanks for sharing 💚
Keep exploring and enjoy this beautiful lifestyle.
Thank you very much!
You two are so stinkin' cute. Happy camping!
You guys are great and I’m digging your trailer!
This was a very well done, enjoyable video. Thanks for posting!
Your Caravel should have come with a covered TP holder. Not sure if they're installed at Jackson Center or at the dealerships, but every Caravel we've seen has one. Ours has one.
That trailer is Made So different than fiberglass..those are built to last..good video
Awesome video my brother. Been dreaming about getting my family a travel trailer I’ve always enjoyed camping. My grandparents always took me and my brothers and now I take my wife and daughters. But has only been the cabin and tent experience. I like that idea of having the kitchen and bed separated another good thing to look for and I have never liked the wet bath but the sink in bathroom always a place. Wish they would make more counter space too. But over all very nice camper. Thanks for the videos I’ll try to check out more. Hopefully one day if I save enough lo que es el voluntad de Dios we will get one!
Los adoramos chicos. Buen video. Muy informativo. Gracias. Qué tengan la vida rica.
I just found this channel. Wish you continued with the videos. Great personalities. Very neat trailer. Wish you all the best.
Hello Jenifer,
We took a break because we now have a baby and expecting another one soon but we are back! Hope you can stay around!☮️
you guys are the cutest. thanks for your review!!
What a cute couple. Love the love and hates... I'll subscribe...
Merry Christmas... Be safe... Enjoy life.
Love chiquito!!
MILLINIALS 😢 no usb ports. OM Goodness , LOL y'all are a cute couple have a blast on your adventure !!!!!
I just stumbled onto your channel. I ❤ it!! Thanks 😊
We love you guys! 😊
Wow interesting. Well presented
Hello! We store our cutting board/sink cover under our dining booth cushion. Perfect place for storage during travel days as well. Hope this helps.
@Cecilia Picinich We are now doing that 😁👍 We just wished it had an specific place for it when not in use.
Tnx for sharing, good job guys
Thank you Randal and Diana, and I enjoy your videos very much! I was researching 19' or 20' AS but your videos have made me have 2nd thought - I always like the fact that the 16' has broad windows on both end so no matter how the campsite is oriented you always have the best view! Question for you guys, if your towing vehicle wasn't a factor, would you want a bigger one like 19'? or you'd still prefer the 16' for its maneuverability? Since you guys live in the RV full time your opinion would be very valuable for me, Thanks again!
@Xiaotian Guo Thank you very much! 😊🙏 The towing vehicle was definitely a big factor for us. We love all the Caravel models and it all depends on what you want to use it for. The best recommendation i can give is to trust your gut and take your time on doing your homework and comparing the Specs of each model before making a decision of which one to pick. We will be working a video next week on this. Welcome to TJOP ☮️😊🙏
@@thejopfam Thank you, and look forward to seeing more adventures from your channel!
Enjoyed video, yes, some ‘little’ annoying things but still a beaut trailer for you both ! I love it and love your wee pupper ! ❤️❤️❤️ xoxox Subscribed
you can purchase plug in inserts that include USB spots, thanks for sharing this video, enjoy watching from Canada
Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great tour of your 16RB. Would have liked to see one of you lie down on the dinette bed though, as it seems woefully small for anyone larger than a small child.
Great review! These are legit gripes even though they are manageable, especially the USB issue. I'm curious if Airstream sells any replacements with USB hookups that you could install under the table?
Thanks well done... Great Trailer overall..... 🇨🇦
Hello Randall and Diana. My wife, Lorena, and I bought the same Airstream in 2019. We love what you have done with your Airstream. We wish we had all of the awnings that your Airstream has. We disagree with your complaints about the cutting board and extra table cushions. The cutting board gives us extra counter space when we are not using the sink. The extra table cushions give our guests extra head and feet room when they are sleeping in the converted bed. Your complaint about the kitchen fire alarm was spot on though. It’s such a pain while you are trying to use the stovetop... every time! Your vlogs are awesome. We will definitely keep watching.
That's awesome that we have similar Airstreams and thank you very much for the compliment, the awnings are very useful for very sunny days but can be very a nightmare when it get's just a tiny bit windy. The cutting board is awesome, we just can seem to find the perfect place to store when not in use. In regards of the extra cushion that goes beneath, we prefer it to be an extra storage place that could of been also detach to give more room when converting into a bed. We appreciate out our vlogs! Welcome to the TJOP Movement!
Yeah I was thinking the extra removable cushions were to accommodate tall people. We’re not tall in my family but our friends are, so it’s probably good to accommodate them. 😊
