1984 Airstream 310 Motorhome Walkthrough - June 2020

1984 Airstream 310 Motorhome Walkthrough - June 2020
We take viewers through our home for the last 2 years, our 1984 Airstream Motorhome. We have put a lot of work into XiO and she has proven to be extremely reliable and the perfect place for our family to explore 10 states, 2 provinces and 17 world-class ski resorts.

The Wild’s Life
one family on an EPIC journey otherwise known as LIFE
We made a decision several years ago to change the way we move through LIFE. We set the intention of living a LIFE full of travel, exploration, learning, adventure, simplicity, and connection with other like-minded people.
We’ve lived a good life, but craved something… different. We wanted to expose our Wild Boyz, 11-year-old Dexter, and 12-year-old Maximus to… more.
More experiences, more people, more adventure, more good food, more art, more family, more connection, more LIFE!
We sold our house. We sold our business. We bought an Airstream.
Then we bought another Airstream.
We simplified our lives only to add more… complexity. But, it was a different kind of complexity. It was an adventure in learning, overcoming obstacles, creating solutions, and working together.
In the end, we had two homes on wheels. XiO, our 1984 Airstream 310 Unlimited MoHo (motorhome) and Prana, our 1978 Airstream Sovereign trailer.
You are probably asking, why does one family need two Airstreams? We wanted to embark on a ski adventure. Travelling with a truck and trailer on steep mountain roads in the winter is not practical. I have always loved the form factor of the Airstream motorhome. The MoHo, XiO, would serve as our winter home and our trailer, Prana, as our summer home.
We want to continue producing videos. We have hundreds of hours of footage from the last four years. It includes the detailed documentation of the restoration and renovation of our vintage Airstream trailer, our winter ski tour through 10 states, 2 provinces and 17 world-class ski resorts, our 19-mile hike to the summit of Half Dome in Yosemite; and… more, much more.
In order to compile, edit and publish these videos, we need time. Through your support as one of our Subscribers on KZbin, Followers on Facebook, or Supporters at Patreon, we will be able to devote time to the creation of more content for you to watch. If you enjoy our videos on the Wild’s Life or Wilds of MINECRAFT channel, we would be grateful for your support. Thanks and have a beautiful day, don’t let it getaway.

[@chilatelover]

[@outsidethebox9955]

Definitely a GREAT investment for the future these are getting super rare!... lf you get one do the whole hundred yards in restoration ... Engine Wire harness... Everything will need updating at this point ....

[@1TeamCanada]

Nice unit. Lots of effort and love went into it.

[@theWildsLife]

Thanks!

[@tommyhopkins8018]

🇮🇪watching from Ireland 👍

[@cliffmauck510]

Thanks for the tour. What a great video.

[@Michael_Wild]

Thanks. There will be more coming this summer.

[@stocksj]

Wonderful Airstream, wish I had one. They remind me of a space shop.

[@samuellauvray873]

Bonjour il est vraiment très bien ce Motorhome

[@theWildsLife]

Merci beaucoup

[@rjr1227]

My wife just got a 89, 1 owner...custom made 32' 345. This is immaculate...needs new batteries..probably tires..(8 of them)...THATS gonna hurt...the canopy is perfect...gotta love the gold interior...lol

[@johnnygonzales3211]

It's awesome looks like a space ship.

[@danrace44]

Love the airstream but wait is he in a late 90’s rock band the blonde tips take me back to my teen years haha 😆

[@theWildsLife]

😂

[@clherms]

So exciting to see this. I just bought a 1984 310 earlier this year and am slowly working through. Had not been able to get all my compartments open so exciting to see what's in there. Keep posting please!

[@theWildsLife]

Cynthia H Welcome to the club. Which compartments?

[@clherms]

@@theWildsLife I was unable to get open both compartments with the hidden and locked area but now open.

[@theWildsLife]

Cynthia H I went underneath and pressure washed my rollar bearings, the cleaned them using WD40, sliding them back and forth numerous times, and then oiled them.

[@clherms]

@@theWildsLife Thank you I'll do that also! Most helpful.

[@theWildsLife]

How goes the battle?

[@broemmler]

A very nice video. My Airstream 310 is currently being shipped to Germany and this video shows the details of the vehicle very nicely. Thanks a lot for this!

[@theWildsLife]

Markus Brömmler Are you shipping it? Or did someone buy it there?

[@broemmler]

the Wild's Life No, due to COVID-19, I couldn't see it before. My friend also has an Airstream 280 or 290 and I thought it was so great that we looked for one in the USA. I then only saw six pictures and bought it. It's a 310 1981 turbodiesel with only 29,009 miles. The front tires are still the first with a production date of 48th week 1981. A stroke of luck! In your video I was able to see what an RV looks like for the first time. That made the long waiting time sweeter. I had it picked up in Georgia and then it went to Germany, taking the ship with me. I tried to go home here, but only got 10 miles. The brake was tight and the driver was short. Now the restoration has started and we are currently removing everything inside. Thanks to your video, I have a few ideas for the conversion. for example, I will recreate the hidden television. The sofa bed will be wider because I have three sons. I will also build the back bed as you show in the video.

[@theWildsLife]

Markus, check out our 1978 Airstream Sovereign trailer at www.AirstreamMoHo.com You will find some great interior ideas there.

[@fraomedinaii2095]

That Spotlight is pretty cool I would install a camera inside that thing

[@Michael_Wild]

That is an awesome idea.

[@theWildsLife]

Would a spotlight be a good idea on a trailer?

[@mat5726]

Thats is a lovely lovely van! i bet it turns heads where you are, if you drove it here in the uk peoples heads would fly off let alone turn !! great video thanks so much

[@tonyengland9744]

I love it super nice.

[@Michael_Wild]

Thanks!

[@trossk]

too bad Airstream still didnt make full RV's but nice to see you have WA plates

[@theoriginalrabbithole]

I love these old Airstream motorhomes, like the 1977 Argosy before this and the rest of the 300 Series from the 1980s. They are not a great investment for restoration. It really is a labor of love for the aesthetics and history that is Airstream. I hope you get many years of happy memories from this camper. It really is a work of art.

[@GetawayWheels]

It’s just beautiful, sooo cool. Keep them videos coming. These newbies need assistance 😂We have flying cloud with a few videos on our channel. We’re subscribing for future adventures!

[@charlestait5303]

Almost as nice as a GMC motorhome!

[@Michael_Wild]

Those GMs are awesome units!

[@BugVideosCentral]

As a kid we had our vacations in my dad's Airstream. It was the late 60s. What model was that, do you know? Thanks! BTW, yours is awesome!

[@lindamarie6574]

very nice! looks so comfortable

Bonjour, la chaîne :Big Titou (youtube) un couple de Français vient d'en acheter un aux Usa ! 😍👍

Hello Thanks from France forme this short tour of tour beautiful Airstream. We recently bought one in UK and still in lack of informations about this new vehicule in our garage.... It is a 280 with diesel engine more usable in France I think about new questions and details i would like to know, i would prefer directly by mail Regards

That is a beautiful RV! Very nice and informative video so thank you for that. We love it and we are prepared to buy! Please tell us you will sell this this fine piece of American machinery??🙂

[@theWildsLife]

Thanks for your comment, we actually sold her in the summer of 2020 to a fine family in Portland.

[@miggy9260]

I have an all original 1981 28’ available.

[@mackieonthemove943]

Ok so I found your video after looking at an 83 Airbus for sale. (Didn't get to see inside though,) so I wondered if it had a Anytime in it. I know some of them did but wasn't sure about the 83. I noticed you didn't mention your even though it was clearly in the video. Do you use it? I aspire to being in a house/RV that has one lol

[@TheGavinM40]

Yaaaaaawwwwnnn!

[@xsentrik1107]

“ALIEN”

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Beautiful! Now *that's* an Airstream! With its round and curvy look, it actually looks like what I call a *"proper"* Airstream. I see it has Washington state license plates. Whereabouts in Washington state is this?

[@theWildsLife]

We had it licensed in Washington, where we bought it, but it has been everywhere on the west side.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

@@theWildsLife Ahhh! Okay. Nice. I'm from Washington state. Gig Harbor to be exact.

[@Michael_Wild]

We bought it in Kenmore, WA, north east of Seattle.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

@@Michael_Wild Ahhh! Okay. I know whereabouts that is. I used to live north of there in Kirkland.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

@@Michael_Wild Assuming you still have this Airstream, have you taken it on any road trips since this video was posted? What's it like to drive, to ride in, and to live in? 🙂

[@alexandraends]

We have an ‘83 we are currently working on, looks almost identical except for the dash. Was the sofa hard to replace with that bed? It looks like a good idea. We have the two twin beds in the back, might replace those with one large bed as well. Not sure yet!

[@Michael_Wild]

Yes, we replaced the gouache couch with a bed. It was way better. We also had twin bed in the back and I put in the queen size bed with the Tempurpedic bed lift.

[@rjr1227]

What kinda gas milage/miles do you get

[@veronicacastro969]

Great video. Trying to talk my husband into one of these. How does it handle on the road? How does it take steep hills? What is the mileage?

[@theWildsLife]

Veronica Castro She handles very well. We have put 19000 miles on over two years. Steep hills, we drove from Salt Lake City up to Alta Ski Resort in a blizzard. No issues. 9 miles to the gallon, great mileage for a house.

[@mjh5437]

@@theWildsLife Only 9 Miles per gallon sounds extremely low,do the newer comparable Airstream models give a more economical MPG,or are there electric ones nowadays too?

[@rorydevlin22]

You guys still making content?

[@theWildsLife]

Yes, we need to get editing. We have hours of footage recorded.

[@Asset1968]

I keep hearing these Airstream motorhomes are maintenance nightmares. Do you find that to be true?

[@theWildsLife]

Yes. But they are worth it.

[@theWildsLife]

We have spent over $30,000 on mechanical.

[@theWildsLife]

But, once they are running well, they are very reliable. The problem is people let these units sit for year's without using them. No maintenance was done and then they would be driven and mechanical items would deteriorate quickly.

[@DragonHeartedPaladin]

@@theWildsLife I think spending 30k for something that will be full time lived in is a good deal. I'm also looking to export such an amazing motorhome to europe. What was the rough breakdown of the 30k you spent keeping it going between P30 stuff, motor stuff and leasure stuff?

[@janierios1194]

“””” HOW RELIABLE IS THE AIRSTREAM???????

[@theWildsLife]

Very reliable. But we put around $30,000 into repairing, replacing, and rebuilding her mechanical.

[@teresaaloisi7973]

Cortesemente, quanto chiedete? Prezzo?

[@theWildsLife]

We sold for $39,000USD

[@matthewtunley5502]

We have a 280 which I’m currently rebuilding in the UK with pano windows, they really do make it. Do you guys have Instagram?
