Thank you both so much! We are having the same problem with the first fix not having worked. We have been freezing our butts off. Hopefully this fix works for us. Thank you for posting these videos.

Great video and greetings from the UP. We are about to pick up(weather permitting) a ‘20 Bambi 16’ in partial trade for a truck to a friend. Looks like the Caravelle has a few key differences, that rear bedroom window/screen looks amazing… Does that use a single black/grey tank? If so is it a pain to flush out when dumping or does the black water do good enough of a job that you don’t feel the need to put some extra water down through the toilet or shower? I have yet to see it in person yet but being 6’1” is sitting in the toilet feasible with the legroom? Not sure if we are going to keep it or sell it as we have three kids so unless I can make a good setup for one kid to sleep on the floor it probably isn’t going to jive. I like the idea though and perhaps behind our camper van could make long trips more enjoyable. It seems these have a pretty good amount of living space for the size though.

Looks like you have (had) a wonderful site!

Good for you in your changes. Love the look of the 16 footer. How’s it working with the bed (and 6’7”!)? We have a 22FB Bambi and would like to go larger for those twin beds… maybe a 25-26 footer. Subscribed😊

It looks so cute alongside your truck. So you have 2 airstreams? Enjoy Jr!!

Aww what a cute baby, we camp with 3 kids ages 4, 5, 6 and its so much fun. If it was one baby I think we could have managed camping but with 3 super little kids it was so hard to just get in the car. Love this video, your kid is going to love camping! Also omg the cats are sooo cute!

Wife and I retired in 2020. We bought a new 25 Foot Flying Cloud. CoVid hit from the time we bought it (Feb 20th) until the time we picked it up 3 weeks later. It sat in storage from March until May and we finally had enough and hit the road figuring we could self-contain ourselves in our new Airstream. We don't full-time in it, but we do take long extended trips. We live in Texas and that means major summer heat, which we escape during the summer months. This means 2 to 3 month long road trips. I also figured we would be spending most of our time outside, but I failed to consider the bad weather days. We spend 5 to 6 months on the road a year. It was during these extended road trips we discovered sitting at the dinette was very uncomfortable for us on those rainy days. That is when we decided the 30 Foot Classic was the only solution with the couch and extra space in front of it. We ordered our Classic in December 2021. We finally pick up our new 2023 Classic on 11/10 and we love it! It was like going from a low end 20K car to a 250K Luxury car in finishes. We went from the queen to a twin model as well. We couldn't be happier. I bought the 25 footer thinking I could at least get into the national parks with it. In our 2.5 years of traveling I have yet to be able to get reservations in any of the national parks when I would like to visit visit them. That is when I realized the longer length wouldn't be an issue for us with our style of camping. I also went from a 1/2 ton truck to a 1 ton dually long bed earlier this year. We are about to head out on our first trip and we are really looking forward to having the additional storage and living space. The other reason is when you live in a large house you are use to certain levels of comfort. I just wanted to give you a story from the other side of this reasoning.

Whining are we?? Didn't you check the unit out before purchase?? Just asking

Great video! As a taller guy myself (6’3”) I was a little concerned but you have convinced me it’s doable! One question: what made you choose the Caravel over the Bambi? Cheers!

You guys rock! Thank you so much for the guidance and direction. Saved me a trip to the dealership and gave me agency over my trailer. Fix worked great for me and I am once again warm in my Globetrotter.

Omg you’re veg too love you even more now ❤️❤️❤️🥕

You guys have amazing taste in music … back that ass up Ace of Base backstreet boys 😍😜🤪😘

Love u guys … hilarious. Thank you for your reply a while back to my question about towing as a potential solo female RVer (with dogs). Checklist: Wife in passenger seat Lol. Maybe I’ll stop by that place and ask if they think it’s safer for me to drive or if my male dog is the better choice.

Thank you for this video. I’m 6’10”. I’m interested in airstream beds. Can you comment on sleeping in the Caravel 16rb as a very tall person? Also, is it even possible in any way to sit on the toilet?

❤️Thank you so much for the great video I was looking at this very model for solo human RVing (+2 medium dogs) it all sounds good to me except for the backing up 🙃

Really good edit!

2:48 I see Walter and Ariel!!

I wanted to truly complement you; But then you pull that mask thing at the end and yet through out the entire video you're not wearing a mask? And then the impossible meat which i like. You talk about cow killing but then you video the Bird Killing Wind Mills that you so proudly video as if it's cool, but more like an Eye sour.

Good stuff and congratulations on your baby 🌅 Well that tiny TT is an attention grabber thats for sure. But not practical for us now a 19 i can see that. Or if I want real small TT and that I can buy out-right would be Tab 400. We sold our Base Camp and purchased a Grand Design XLS 22 mle. I have camped 3 years now and been to over 150 camp sites and most TT's under 25 feet in most tight sights. We Eat Meat 🥩. So when are you getting the Electric ⚡️ truck. Noticed the Bird Killer windmills that has to be the worse energy producer and bad for wild life.

I loove using "doggie" pee pee pads to change baby when we're out, I always keep a few in my car

I am late to the conversation so maybe you have it all figured out. Getting some air flow helps with the humidity. If it is warm enough crack the Fantastic fan open and crack a couple of windows also. If it is cooler then crack the Fantastic fan and run the heat. We do this even when the temps are in the upper 20's. My wife and I had an Airstream Sport 16rb which we loved but I made two upgrades to it. I got a 125ah lithium battery and a set of 200 watt portable Zamp panels. Camping the way you are you can probably go for a 3 day weekend on just the battery. If you can get the panels into the sun you can last a long time.

I finished watching a few of your videos. Was a bit surprised why you stopped posting videos a year ago.

At this age Lauren's immune system is still immature I would suggest keeping him away from the campfire smoke too.

Hi awesome video! Do you know why this year it’s dry weight is 3500# vs the 2020 year which is 3200 pounds?

Hey thanks for the video. My wife and I are thinking of purchasing a Bambi but have not yet seen one in person. I’m 6’ 5” and it sounds like one you are even taller. What is it like to stand up in the camper? Would a 6’ 5” person like myself be able to stand up straight? Thanks

Where do you put your outdoor chairs, stroller and any other big stuff?

Chelsea I can't thank you enough for encouraging women to get past their fear and tow! I am (a young) 67 and my dream for 5 years now has been to do full time rv'ing. I have watched a 1000 videos but still ask my kids, "am I being realistic". I was about to give up on my dream when I came across this video and honestly, it made me cry! I am doing it! Why can't I?? You have inspired me and given me the push to believe it can be done! Thank you so so much!

Love your videos, why did y’all stop?

Thanks for sharing, love this size of Airstreams.

👍👍

For those of us who are considering a Caravel 16 it would have been helpful to provide information about how high the bathroom ceiling is. Thanks for all you do.

Thx for the review!

LOVED THIS! Would you pls tell me which software(s) you used to make this masterpiece.

Where does your baby sleep?

Jolly !

So I’m late to the show, but I just came across this video. The second you showed the dishwashing, before you even said a word, I got the warmest feeling and smiled so big. Simply because I lived that as a kid also, and it was such a walk down memory lane. From the plastic dish bins, to using the picnic table! 🥰🥰🥰 in fact my wife, 2 kids and I are going camping this weekend, and we have a 29 foot grand design…. But I 100% will be doing dishes outside! Thank you so much for that warm memory of my childhood 🥰🥰🥰

Curious what your reasoning for choosing Caravel over Bambi? Are the upgrades that significant? Was there something specific that sold you? Great videos. I’m in the market, so they are very informative!

The biggest problem with the Caravel 16RB for me is that there is no sink in the bathroom. Such a bizarre omission. And they really should have widened the dinette bed so that it's actually usable for adults. An additional 2" width on the RB and 10" on the dinette bed would make both a solid 50" wide, and it would still be a respectable 17' long. Anyway, hope you're still enjoying your Caravel!

Could you get any more pretentious at 0:45.

Would love to see a video “travel with cats”…in the truck, exercise, moving from truck to trailer, litter box during driving…etc. Love your energy!! Thank you 😊

Such a helpful video!! We are expecting and trying to get a glimpse of what camping will be like with our little dude. Thank you for sharing this! I also watched your other Camping with a Newborn video :). You have a beautiful family!!

So it turns out our paths have already crossed!! That’s us on the right at the 1:02 mark!

So glad I stumbled on your channel! My husband and I live in Michigan, have a 2018 16’ Sport (kind of a blend between Caravel and Bambi), he is 6’5”, and we’re expecting in August! We registered for (and received) the Guava travel crib too. I have been pushing to sell our Airstream so we can get something larger like 25-28 feet but now I’m wondering if we can make the 16 foot work after all. Would love to see any updates on camping with a larger baby.

Hey Guys! Hope you are getting ready to hit the road again! I've been searching through your videos trying to find the campfire cooking utensil set you showed once. What kind was that? Derek

Great video guys!

You guys were shaken by the Driscoll Bridge? 😁 Oh there’s going to be a lot more precarious situations when you leave the tri state area. Lol

Agree that the rear panoramic window of the 16RB is the best feature. It's so bizarre to me that no other Caravel or Bambi has a rear bed with a panoramic window. The rear window makes the most sense since it's not subject to rock damage and is the end that is most likely going to be facing a view, unlike the front panoramic windows on most of those series models.

Oh, yes. What an absolutely frustrating eye-opener backing-up the 16RB was on day one. Towing it from the dealer was fairly easy, of course, but trying to back that little thing up into a camp site pad outside of Columbus, OH in the Spring of 2019 was absolutely embarrassing and humiliating. I guess we put on quite a show for the first 20 minutes or so. Stressed, stressed, stressed. We had never towed or backed any trailer up before, and the little single-axel Bambi just wouldn't back up in a straight line even though it was perfectly aligned with the spot!! It would turn on its own almost immediately and attempt to jack-knife. Made absolutely no sense to us. We even took it back out to the empty Alum Creek State Park camp parking lot to practice, test our theories, snap at each other, and shake our heads - a lot. Who knew ... short wheel base, pushing on a hinge, basic physics?! But, guess who stopped at our site to help and teach us (i.e., small slow movements with the wheel, etc.), another long-time Airstream owner! (*Thank you again, Chad. We've never forgotten your patience and good heart to help us on our way to RV Airstream camping that evening.) Two years later, I can usually back it in most anywhere on the first or second try. #lifeskills

Nice to see a video about cat scale, I travel and fix them!
