2018 30' Airstream Classic - Quick Overview

[@daw764]

It’s the Hickok 45 of Airstream.

[@pault1964]

daw764 W nice

[@simonvance8054]

Was just thinking that then I saw your comment..

[@jacobporter5571]

This made me laugh way to hard

[@jimnovak8897]

Too funny....

[@frankiesteele4248]

Dude that's the first thing I thought of too, looks and sounds like him lol

[@FishHeadBiologist]

This guy explains these trailers better than any video I have seen. I watched most of them on here. If you're a serious buyer and want to take the time for an in depth training on the trailer then this is a must watch video. Essential tips are given to many features on the trailer..

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

Excellent tour, Sir. That model truly feels cozy. Greetings from Germany :]

[@jamespaul3823]

Nice now I could make this my tiny house

[@nicks1451]

The Airstream is by far my favorite mobile home. I really love the extra foot room in front of the couch and the bed being able to go up. My only complaint is that the Airstream consistently puts the TV in the worst spot. I suggest adding a divider on either the back of the dining chair or at the front end of the kitchenette to hang the TV from.

[@peetje28021970]

Nice truck in front of it and money on the bank to explore the world, what a dream!

[@sdushdiu]

The world? Pick a continent! I want to see you explore the various oceans to traverse the world in this... ;-)

[@mountainman4410]

Airstream is the one and only rv that's even in consideration for good quality. If not a an airstream, you would be better off buying a sprinter van or school bus to convert. Rvs are built like crap, using the cheapest materials they can possibly use. Then priced as high as they can possibly get away with. I've been working on rvs for a very long time. Trust me when I tell you, if you ever consider an Rv, make it an airstream.

[@ryantyler2882]

wish they made a toyhauler version...I've been looking at ATC in either their bumper pull or 5th and they seen rugged and functional in the utility department...

[@thespankdmonkey]

Airstream don't need no slide outs! These guys knock it out of the park every time! Sure you are going to pay more but isn't that the case in all quality products? Thanks for the review and a Happy New Year to you Sir!

[@philo5096]

Great lookin, twin beds would be perfect. Oh yea and drop the price by 50 g's.

[@operationhotshotinc.6887]

Phil O seriously

[@wizardozzro]

Nice rig. However to have trashcan under the sink is an a excellent concept, but to have you eat and cooking utensils in the same area, I am not a fan of. Does the sofa convert into a bed?

[@SamMonkulas]

The big Sofa had a leg recliner which he didn't stress to show but apart from that you can pull a thick rug in big space in front of Sofa and have a good night......

[@wizardozzro]

@@SamMonkulas Evidently this commented was based on what I seen not on ASSumptions of what I could do. Furthermore, based on the likes and other comments I'm not the only one with opinion. You have Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Good Nite whenever you read this response.

[@jameswilson9553]

Why does the front center of the couch look like its about to fall apart?

[@bmm5255]

It is an access panel that latches into place. I was unaware that someone had taken it off, and then just propped it up in place, instead of latching it properly.

[@harryjansen6990]

It did, watch as he shows the center folding table, it sort of just falls to one side...

[@mikebridges7294]

@@harryjansen6990 OI that was bloody well explained...why must you continue to try and see if there is a different explanation?

Who's Sid?

[@talen2007]

They are nice but who can afford them. By the way, why put the outdoor shower next to the electrical connection?

[@timbarry5080]

Nice trailer and review. How does airstream insulate the walls these days? Do they use spray foam inside the bays before installing the fiberglass insulation? Thank you

[@iviaverick52]

I'll be honest, I used to think that Airstreams were overpriced crappy campers that mostly hippies used. This looks pretty dang nice!

[@prebaned]

Hickok45 second job!!!!

[@frankiesteele4248]

I'm in love...... Not with the camper, I met this girl today sitting at a traffic light. She is beautiful and I just wanted everyone to know. Her name is samantha and she is very well endowed. She has a tattoo of a ninja turtle on her wrist, it's the cutest thing.

[@paulgee4336]

She's not bad if you like sloppy seconds.

[@dontask77]

Gorgeous trailer. Not a fan of split bathrooms layouts and that curtain doesn't look like it does a good job a giving privacy. Other than that it's gorgeous but because of that split bathroom I rather the flying cloud 30fb since it has the fully enclosed bathroom.

[@zane437]

who is sherry

[@terrytytula]

Are they insulated, if they are what's is the r value?

[@gerger7287]

Wish the units had front window kitchens. Hate hate the walk thru galley kitchen, nothing but a traffic pile-up zone. Front kitchen are ideal, chief is out of the way, set aside from traffic flow.

[@kennethlaw5216]

I have never seen a front kitchen in any camper. I have seen a couple older motor homes with back kitchens. Most people only spend weekends in thier camper anyway and much prefer to cook out side when at all possible

[@dominiquedoeslife]

While this looks quite well built, my concern, as someone over 6' tall, is how the well I would fit on the furniture. Lol. Even regular furniture seems like it's made for little people, when I use it. **Edited: apparently this gentleman is 6'9" so potentially this would be extremely comfortable furniture, based on watching him use it**

[@erics9754]

6 ft 5 or 6 max shoes give you a 1inch to 1 and a half the interior is 6 ft 7.5

[@michelfortier9563]

Seems to be a small quality control issue with the up front couch.....

[@maddalex8193]

I was thinking the same things as you, 7 months later.

[@kalwaii4563]

Manda um desses para mim aqui no Brasil.

[@mike.p.1400]

Hey they don’t make the Tommy bahama anymore in a travel trailer ?

[@cargenerator]

LOVE the 30' Classic...! we ditched the noisy smelly gas generator, and instead power our Airstram when off-grid, direct from our tow vehicle using our www.CarGenerator.com

[@michaelkay9275]

Awesome, cool , thank you !!!

[@ms.sammanthalee5156]

can these be orded with less stuff and less huge windows n can it be orded with a single king bed for a 6ft7 tall handi capped adult .....

[@tree7249]

145000. Is it made of gold? Are rich people buying campers? If so why?

[@HugsmadeDrugs]

Airstream have always been high-end trailers.

[@chrisludwig9783]

Mark Nichols ya 14500 is ridiculous.

[@dobermanpac1064]

If the price scares you, you might not realize the quality and being a forever unit....Just saying.

[@gerardhaubert8210]

How long does it take ref/freezer to reach usable temp?

[@jaymcclean4911]

For a reference for scale of the interior, can you state how tall your are?

[@bmm5255]

Used to be 6'9" but shrinking these days. Probably just under 6'8" tall.

[@jaymcclean4911]

HOLY PRO BASKETBALL BATMAN! Wow! You should mention that in the videos. For someone who has not actually been inside of an Airstream, watching a man with your stature inside of that trailer, makes it look small. Re-watching it now, with knowing how tall you are, the Airstream looks huge to me! LOL!

[@dominiquedoeslife]

bmm5255 I'm over 6' tall too (though nowhere near 6'9"). Surprisingly, that furniture looks way more comfortable for us giant people than I thought it would.

[@marywkinnear2000]

He did a great job showing it,but I found it funny that hes so tall and has to duck down 😄

[@bmm5255]

Ceiling height is 6' 7.5". I am 6'9".

[@bmm5255]

I am 6'9". The ceiling is 6'7".

[@paulgee4336]

Not bad if you are "rich" and can afford $100K to $150K. It's not close to worth that.

[@bmm5255]

Airstream has the highest resale of any RV. In the end, cost of ownership is less than a cheap box trailer.

[@stevenlharris]

It's worth whatever someone's willing to pay for it.

[@slofiz5336]

does airstream rv need roof maintenance yearly? is there outlets along side the bed for cpap machine. ty

[@bmm5255]

The roof is all aluminum. Just inspect seals anually, and plan on touching up seals every three to four years. Yes, there are outlets by the bed.

[@johnnysmith3574]

For this much money, you'd think the middle drawer on couch wouldn't have a gap--quality issue? Also, you can buy a used 2015 for 50K to 60K less--same basic features.

[@benboleyn514]

Good video,

[@tirzhaprinsloo2774]

The Rv is great to travel but be careful for the sharks that are lurking there

[@stoneygreek]

that's​ around 715.00 per square foot. My home cost 120.00 per square foot. based on those calculations that should cost 25,800. Its actually way cheaper to build than a house. They are also mass producing them and my home is custom. There is no reason other than pure hype, that trailer should cost more than 30,000. EXCELLENT MARKETING!

[@bmm5255]

These are far from mass produced. They are hand built. The wait can be as long as 6 months at times. They are also built to a much higher standard. Try towing your house down the road and see how it holds up. These have been built since 1931, and 75% of all Airstreams ever built, are still on the road.

[@dennisgoff4723]

‘Greek - Obviously NOT an analyst - to TRY comparing house to something that is towed/rolls on wheels. Put the weight of yer Kitchen, Bath, HVAC units - then see how much it weighs... Yer a MOE_ron 🐵 !

[@erics9754]

I believe they should be about 70 grand I am sure they would still make a killing. Greed is strong in the RV business .

[@rubyokosi8377]

Perfect for a single person!😁

[@leticia_v6404]

Very Nice.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

I would rather see the automated table be lowered and the TV swing out and be adjusted, than seeing manually operated day and night shades. It's tough to look at a crooked/damaged footrest on the middle seat section of the couch when you're sitting on the attached incliner, especially on something with a $150K,( pickup truck not included) price tag. It stood out like a sore thumb. Seeing the other bed/sleeping area would also be helpful. Airstream makes a beautiful product but this video needs some work..........and so does that darn footrest on the couch.

[@sow9880]

He said on another comment that the center piece is an access panel for a storage compartment that wasn't placed back on properly. It's not broken.

[@gerardhaubert8210]

Are lithium batteries and larger solar system available?

[@bmm5255]

There are several solar and battery upgrades available as after market options.

[@bmm5255]

No

[@dlwatib]

I don't like the idea of a slot at the back of the counters for heat flow. Things like pencils are going to roll into that and be lost forever. Heaven forbid you spill a cup of coffee or even worse, a glass of milk! And of course you can't park any appliances at the back of the countertop even if they are too big to fall in because it blocks the airflow. And it's all so unnecessary. You could even more easily have the air come out the toe space under the cabinets and the heat would be right where you really want it, on your feet. I also don't like the bathroom being divided into two tiny stalls barely big enough to avoid bumping your elbows in. I prefer the older Airstreams that had a single more generous bathroom that didn't feel quite so claustrophobic. Also, I think some of them had a small tub so you had the flexibility to soak if you wanted to, you weren't committed to showers only. The cabinet doors don't look like they fit in very well with the rest of the decor of the Airstream. They look old fashioned, whereas the rest of the interior looks space age.

[@bmm5255]

Nothing can roll or spill down the heat vent at the back of the counter. There is a 1" lip there. Also nothing can block the heat. Don't knock it until you've tried it. It is much warmer, quieter, and more efficient than the forced air. And, no more cold walls! Also the bathroom (water closet) is huge. Plenty of leg room and elbow room. The shower stall is also bigger than you think. I am 6'9" tall, and have plenty of room. As for the cabinets. . . it is a "Classic". If the decor is not to your liking, maybe you would prefer a more modern look like the Serenity or Signature? They are awesome too.

[@bmm5255]

It can't. There is about a 3/4" tall lip there.

[@ms.sammanthalee5156]

does it come in purple .....

[@langeblanc494]

hahahahaha

[@zephyr2278]

I mean its aluminum just anodize the entire thing haha

[@frankiesteele4248]

Do you prefer Glocks or 1911s??

[@johnvolkman7208]

So the bluetooth cell phone microphone and external generator connection are gone?

[@bmm5255]

Bluetooth is still there. 50 amp units (dual ac) never have had the generator connection. That is only on the 30 amp units.

[@bernardbrown5336]

where are the electrical outlets on the counter tops? Also, where is the generator for dry camping? Don't care for this model at all. Much prefer the Coachman RVs

[@donmeyers3090]

Fucking "Zero Gravity Chairs"? Who is this guy, George Jetson?

[@whyme3286]

$150k then you have to buy a truck capable of towing it, yikes!

[@kennethlaw5216]

50 to 80 grand for a pickup now day. Really 150 for the camper isn't bad. If you have that kind of money. I don't. But someone must.

[@gjd1942]

For $160k you can get a Mercedes Unity motor coach with almost as much room and it doesn't require a truck to pull it! And the quality is comparable.

[@rob59641]

❤

[@pearlcaster8287]

The cost is eqivalent to my 3 bdrm, 2 full bath, 2 car garage, cathedral ceiling living room w/fireplace, dining room, kitchen, 2 wall ovens and regular kitchen stove, utility room, brick home. SHEESH! IDIOTS! It's neither the average or median incomes that are important; IT'S THE MODE!!! 90% of Americans earn

[@spencerwilton5831]

Pearl Caster But your house is made the American way, from matchwood, osb board, staples and glue. Of course houses in the US are cheap, they are built the way we build chicken sheds here in Europe. The whole point of airstreams, or any other luxury product for that matter, is they are unaffordable for the majority. That's the definition of luxury. If everyone could have one they would cease to be special.

[@macjwave3324]

[@midnightchannel111]

It doesn't appear to be insulated against weather extremes... (?)

[@bmm5255]

Why would you assume that? It is very well insulated with heated tanks etc. Have been in mine at -4 f, stayed nice and war, had hot showers etc.

[@midnightchannel111]

@@bmm5255 I didn't assume it, I saw the aluminum wall curving to ceiling when you opened the door to the closet... I guess you have double-aluminum frame, then? The outer then insulation, then an internal aluminum frame...?

No but dinette does.

[@langeblanc494]

and with those recliners you lost also all the storage we used to have under the sofa....and talking about storage you also loose the one under the dinette as you ve got that big ALDE furnace and water heating they don't want you to see there on walk throught videos.....

[@stoneygreek]

you dont wanna know. OK ! 150,000

[@bmm5255]

Not betting on a trend at all. This model has been around for years. This is just the latest evolution. We can't get them built fast enough.

[@humblehalfacre8464]

Stainless rock guards on airstreams are my deterrent in purchasing one. Can't see how it would look good even after one trip along a hwy. Like getting a dent on your stainless refrigerator. Looks bad forever.

[@michaelrutledge7048]

No shower??

[@michaelharness3258]

Bad Fit and finish on the airstreams. Shame.

[@bmm5255]

Are you basing that comment on hearsay? You need to see one yourself. Nothing compares.

[@noahlani1969]

It's not family friendly. Perhaps a couple but with kids, it's almost impossible to have a comfortable space. I would remove the front couch and enclosed a bunk bed. Put a sliding door between the kitchen and the back, so nobody sees anyone coming out naked from the shower. My take on. I wouldn't buy an Air Stream since I have kids and each time have to pull down the couch or table. Not practical. I do love Air Stream but I think they need to revise the concept to have more sleeping space for a family without dismantling half of the sitting area.

If I'm paying up to $150,000 for an Airstream ... and grant you ... they're high quality construction and will virtually last your entire lifetime ... I will be furious about having a cheap sofa ... Did you see that lower panel looking like it was about to fall off? ... Poor ... Poor ... Poor quality control.

[@jasoncoufal1492]

It is an access panel not properly latched when the video was filmed. NOTHING is poor in an airstream!

[@bmm5255]

You didn't read the rest of the comments. It is an access panel that I failed to latch. Nothing wrong with the sofa. It is probably the most comfortable sofa you have sat on in or out of an RV.

[@langeblanc494]

I sat on the Classic 33 and it was not comfortable at all....Maybe the 30 got more back head room to relax (don't know) but still there aren't one comfortable sofa in the today's airstream...The ones that used to be in the late 80's beg 90's where way much comfortable to watch a movie on TV I am telling you

[@marlenejanzen1736]

If they’ve been in business for 85 years why do they still look like a glorified camper. Other brands (which I’m not promoting, I’m not in the business, just a consumer) have upped the luxury factor. I’m sure there very environmentally friendly and well built but missing the wow factor.

[@motox2416]

Define wow factor

[@marlenejanzen1736]

I’m talking like home finishes. If I’m going to fork over that kind of money I’m expecting a lot more high end finishes.

[@elysianfields6350]

Still based on a wooden floor....worthless until replaced by fiberglass.

[@sethlewin7815]

It's a layer of wood above one of steel, done for insulating and sound-reduction purposes, and the wood is protected in a number of ways, and the bottoms of these units are sealed tight. Furniture is wood framed as well, so what's your point?

[@langeblanc494]

leaks..leaks...and leaks...man! and with that running ALDE heating let me tell you that in less than 5 years people will start to complain about leaks...They are selling you as the greatest thing on earth this ALDE heating ...we got it longer than you guys on our travel trailers in Europe...ALL of us regret it and we all want our old fan furnace back...ok it was noisy but no leaks!!.. It's like they are now selling you as EXCELLENT that 3 ways fridge in the new Globetrotter....PURE JOKE....we got that DOMETIC 3 ways fridge since 10 years too here and once again regret...regret and regret...Most of those fridges need to be changed every 2 years...they don't last....they never get cold properly....you always need to dry the doors and handles with a tea towel as humidity is running all over... and/or when handles don't break after 1 month....with your food still in.......AIRSTREAM used to built great quality travel trailers....not sure our generation "2000" will see our trailers on the road again in 50 years time...Aluminium quality isn't even the same, thinner than the old ones.......Stop believing what good salesmen are saying....start acting and notifying AIRSTREAM you do not want those poor parts in your american travel trailers!
