Here are my thoughts: Like the interior changes, not a fan of the added blackness to exterior, especially the rock guards. The rock guards will attract dirt & mud from the tow vehicle's rear wheels, thus they will always look dirty. The rims & propane cover will also need some extra cleaning attention.

Is this a joke? Absolutely terrible! Who in the world wants to sleep with the bugs and mosquitoes? Those speakers are ridiculous - I am living fulltime in a Mercedes Sprinter so I can go to secluded places for peace and calm , not to host a freaking techno party. Thank goodness there are only 30 of them made.

Can you imagine a blackout but change the color of the exterior to make it darker that would look so awesome.

Nice but can't afford. My pop-up gazebo, 1000w power station + solar, porta shower, and the hybrid SUV I sleep in costs less than this. BUT I am looking... but only for sustainable though, eg. no blackwater tank, instead a composting potty or one like in the "Martian" movie, outdoor shower, and totally off-grid with decent solar. I don't mind setting up my 400w "suitcase" solar panel on the ground. Just my take on stuff..

Thank you for sharing about the Trade Wind. I agree with everything except the point about upgrades not adding any value to an RV. The Tradewind is a great model, a bit pricy but has the features people really want. NADA and the RV dealers work together to force RV values down on a timeline, at least that is what I was told and it used to hold true, Airstreams never matched NADA values in the marketplace and there is a vast discrepancy between private market value and dealer value. I do agree that upgrades rarely increase value but perhaps a better way of thinking is that they preserve more of the original value. Example- when I purchased my Airstream years ago used at a dealer, they sent me pictures of it before I got on site. In the pictures, there was a sound system, a TV, AllClad pots and pans set, and a new microwave. When I got to the dealer the TV, pots and pans and sound system were gone. They had removed some items of "value". I asked about it and they coughed all but the sound system up. I purchased the unit. I did not know that the fridge was defective (dometic leaking recall) but knew the tires needed replaced ASAP. I replaced the tires and fridge with better than OEM. Now, over the years, I have maintained my model with replacement parts, mostly upgraded and, added additional upgrades to the camper. I have been to rallies where participants tour each other's Airstreams and people are highly complimentary and comment on how I have been able to keep it as OEM as possible and upgrade it too. At one rally I was parked next to a 2005 model identical to mine with nothing changed. There was a noted stark contrast by touring rally goers. I would venture to say that it is unlike any 2006 Safari I have seen on the market for sale. Most have little to no changes. It is true that I will never recover the upgrade costs but I do believe that the upgrades have value and help the camper to hold a much higher percentage of its value. All of my appliances are replaced except the furnace and all with better models than OEM. Then there is Villa Custom Sofa (like the classics), New Power Center, Lithium, Solar, Plumbing, fixtures, ventilation, wheels, 3P hitch, Vinnie's ceramic coat, the list is extensive. There is no way to value it using NADA but there is also no way to insure an Airstream using NADA valuation either - agreed value and appraisals all the way. Something I have learned about Airstreams, mostly by touring them, is that the various eras still have their advantages, that betterment is not necessarily found in the latest series- often more of a cheapening. I have seen floorplans long gone that are to me, better thought out than most newer models. Airstreams are amazing campers but amazing does not stop at age 5 or 10.

Looks like the package I've been hoping for....but the 810 Ah battery bank would seal the deal for me...

Seeing how Thor owns Airstream it's no surprise. Still can't justify the cost of a Airstream.

$200k, Standard

You missed the AC vents, blacked out also. Wish they did a 28 or 30RB version.

Chad, As always, thank you for your KZbin leadership in keeping us up-to-date on changes coming from Airstream. We are seriously considering ordering a GT 27 (and possibly from you, of course), but we are holding off, hoping Airstream will update the interior Decor options, as the current color combos are getting stale. And, we are wondering what other changes, if any, are coming for the next iteration of the GT. Any insights you can share??? Thank you.

I m beautiful 👏👏👏

Love the blackout package, and most of the upgrades. Do NOT like that you are forced to take the hatch if you want this package. Airstream, please make the hatch optional and you have a winner!

Awning not set up correct. Look at arms.

Oh yea. The material on the cushions look like the same material that was on our 2020 19’CB Bambi which was ok

If they put it on the 23, I'll be seeing you in person.

Keeping my 25’ flying cloud as is. Wonder what the package price will be?

Does it have the same solar pkg as tradewinds?

I love it except it’s not on the Globetrotter and why name it Midnight Flamingo? Why not Midnight Journey or Midnight Oasis or something cool like that 😂.

Basically, would you consider this to be a 27ft Trade Wind with the Flying Cloud name plate? Don’t get me wrong I like it. I wish AS would have a 27ft Trade Wind.

Looks pretty dope! I’m with you on the cloth vs leather seating. Looking forward to a full walk-thru in the coming weeks. Just gotta save up my pennies!

I like the black wheels and lift which anyone can do and relatively inexpensive (especially on my single axle Bambi). Stereo and belt line is easily upgraded also. Not a fan of the black stone guards or LP cover. The rest is whatever. Black sunshade seems like a bad idea for multiple reasons. I do like the Flamingo though.

Looks awesome to me.👍

Love the stereo upgrade but not a big fan of the black accents. Also, like the std 3” lift and solar/lithium inclusion. Would love for Airstream to focus on functional upgrades vs decor.

Interesting. Had to retape my solar panels on my tradewind

Well, I like it, not sure it changes my mind about getting a Globetrotter tho. look forward to seeing your video from the Tampa show!

Great job this was awesome guys very informative!

Would getting the window awnings as an aftermarket item be an option?

I’m sitting tight waiting for a larger fridge to go into the two larger models.

I think the 20' is the best plan of the 3. I don't like the kitchen sink being right next to the bed in the 22'.

Anything that’s a Thor product can we put in the scrap heap as far as I’m concerned they have ship products I made the mistake of buying one will never do it again.

Can shock absorbers be added? Are the brackets there without the shocks from the factory?

Paying over a $100 a month for anything internet is not the best. It's a rip-off and ur the sucker.

I'd rather have an old cheap functional camper that's already proved it's worthiness.

The Journey XTR does not connect to Verizon. It uses AT&T, TMobile, and US Cellular. I've used it for about a year now and it is a pretty reliable connection, but it is LTE only (no 5G, that's a different product) and it appears to be capped for bandwidth. 25mbs is about the max I get, I've had a few faster, but that's the exception. I think it's a good service, but it has become my backup to Starlink. It is convenient tho, just not super fast.

Love our 2022 20ft Bambi. Added many Caravel updates after a year that cost much less than Caravel. The great kitchen and bathroom sold us. Pantry and counter space and storage throughout rv are wonderful. Mini blinds while annoying at times allow for varying the views, privacy and lighting. Thanks for pointing out all the top likes of this model. We agree should be No 1.

Just dawned on me… take a shower but heated towel is across the hall 😮

Thanks!! I’m rebuilding a 68 Tradewind that was in an accident years ago. It will be set up for Boondocking. I really like how the solar panels were integrated but a little concerned about how low the battery as they could be damaged by road hazards. 😳 Great video!! 😊

Most great views are out the back of the trailer. In a twin, you look at a wall and give up the larger bed. So a queen bed is a no-brainer for a single person like me.

MSRP for the 2025 Bambi 20FB as shown is $75,800.

So when is Airstream going to build a wheelchair accessible modle? If they would build an accessible modle without adding inaccessible pricing i would be the first in line. Ive asked but never gotten a response, ever.

80k for the Bambi vs 20k and under for a Jayco - No Brainer!!!

Not sure that the door matches the level of hype, it’s really crazy to focus on that so much. Especially while talking around the fact that the door can damage the trailer and also lock you out because of a terrible design. But it slams great!😂

I've always thought this would be the Bambi I would buy if I got one. I like the corner kitchen.

Why was the 28rb returned so quickly?

I love this RV

Why was it in the news "not really for a good reason"? You didn't want to bring it up, but you did. I genuinely don't know. Please elaborate.

Is it possible to add a third t.v. mounted in the kitchen area, perhaps with a desk mount? Or in the twin bed area or the overhead bunk? Hiding the wires too, of course. I basically need 3 t.v.'s thank you.

I understand Airstesms bei g little higher than most all RV's but they are so pricy. Even the cheaper ones.

It loojs more homey
