2020 Airstream Caravel 22FB Walk Through Small Light Weight Travel Trailer Bambi Size

[@janjeffers3462]

I just bought a 2023 Airstream Caravel - this is the best video I have seen - even though this is a 2020 - thank you for all the little details you have gone through for us newbies!!!

[@colonialairstream]

Glad it was helpful! We sell them here too at Colonial Airstream. Airstream dealers provide a complete walk through training on a new or used purchase just like we showcased here.

[@pacershark452]

The airstream is nice enough, but your pasta is absolutely FANTASTIC.

[@colonialairstream]

Glad you like both.

[@LanceEJones]

Patrick knows his stuff. I'm a few months from taking delivery and I feel well-equipped to really ingest the information on the actually walkthrough. Wherever you are, Patrick, this stranger in Oakland, CA appreciates you! Thanks to Colonial Airstream for recognizing the usefulness of distributing this content.

[@colonialairstream]

Much appreciated!

[@dhouse609]

Beautiful campers and love that Bronco. I would have the bed in the back, because of when you back into your sight, you are not sleeping near the road. The bathroom is pretty awesome.

[@colonialairstream]

Right on

[@smtennant]

Another Patrick Botticelli classic!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you very much.

[@salanicus]

Beautiful airstream! Love it. Has anyone ever mentioned you sound exactly like Ray Romano the comedian? When I listen to you I can't get that TV show out of my head, Lol So from now on it's Everyone loves Raymond's Airstreams :)

[@colonialairstream]

Ha ha ha. Thank you.

[@brighton_dude]

I love the fun intro! That Caravel 22FB is very interesting to me. I really like that Caravel interior, it is a bit 50's which I really like. I've always really liked the 23FB, so this layout is also of great interest. Having the toilet/shower room all in one at the back is great. Airstream are so far ahead of the other USA RV manufacturers with their interior design.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you for the continued support.

[@GetawayWheels]

Colonial you guys are the best. We live in South Florida, but we’ve been watching your videos for quite sometime now. You guys helped and inspired us not only to buy an Airstream but also to start our own RV travel channel. Thank you for all your content!!

[@colonialairstream]

Awesome! Thank you! We would have loved to have been your selling dealer.

[@borgearild]

The Airstream Caravel is not for sale in Europe (where I live), but watching this video really made me want to purchase one! I have grown fond of watching your high quality productions. Both to learn about Airstreams, but also to see how a good sales pitch/presentation should be like:)

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks for watching Colonial Airstream

[@andrewwoodall2214]

Just got back the Hershey 2021 RV Show. Sadly no Airstreams on display. This was a superb in-depth review of the Caravel 22. This unit would be the perfect size for our family...

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks for reaching out. We have new 2022's available for preorder for next year. Please call us for pricing and availability 1-800-265-9019

Awesome video Patrick! Thanks for sharing with us as always. I love what Airstream is doing with the new trailers.

[@colonialairstream]

[@TeeMarie36]

I really like this airstream trailer.. it has a very nice design and comes with so much

[@colonialairstream]

Glad you like it!

[@alliejr]

Great video! But I never understand why manufacturers focus on inverter power outlets. The TV, your laptop computer, cellphone and most all of your gadgets and electronics are DC. The trailer should run the TV directly off DC and include a ton of USB and/or USB-C outlets. 60W is enough and will power almost anything. An inverter with a couple of outlets is also fine, but it’s so inefficient to invert DC to AC and then back to DC.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you for the suggestion.

[@JerryDHill]

Wonderful tour. An exceptional dept of knowledge

[@colonialairstream]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@arrowshot3000]

Excellent coverage and content with great reference value for prospects and owners. Very nice production work on the camera edits and audio. The quality of the videos is in line with the products that are represented. Thanks again for the tour, Gratefully.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you Dan.

[@israeljuarez7380]

What an awesome and thorough walk-thru. So very knowledgeable as well. You put our dealer to shame. Quick question. You mentioned a lock for the battery box. What exact type of lock do you recommend and it is basically "Plug and Play" or does it require some basic modifications? Any details would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you very much. We sell the locks in our parts department. No modifications are needed. Please call 1-800-265-9019

[@janjeffers3462]

Great video -a I have a. 2023 Caravel 22 FB - question!!! Does the refrigerator have a lock on the door when you are towing? I noticed on the above video that frig did have one. thanks

[@colonialairstream]

Yes, there is a travel latch on all.

[@SAWashington67]

I like the Ford BRONCO.😊😎

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you.

[@spankroy]

You know, I think a two burner cooktop would suit this trailer better. I would think more counter space would be preferable. I doubt many people are utilizing the three burners simultaneously. I do wish it had dual axels to increase the carrying capacity of the trailer. I guess you have to step up to one of the other models for that though.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you for watching Matt.

[@edwinyu6758]

Great detailed review. Alot of information

[@colonialairstream]

[@brettgutowski7922]

How long would the fridge last just on DC power while boondocking?

[@colonialairstream]

It draws up tp 2.2 amp per hour i there is no charge from the tow vehicle the solar panel, it can drain the 160 amp hour batteries to 50% in 36 hours.

[@tammyvance8620]

[@danakraushaar3606]

I'm sold. love the bronco as well. My goal is to build a retromod 67 F100 bumpside to pull the Airstream :)

[@colonialairstream]

Go for it!

[@anitaculler6032]

Nice layout, but the bed sizes would really only fit 3 people with a small width for the back bed. The dinette is basically a twin size mattress (regularly 39x75)and the back bed is the width of a full mattress(regularly 54x 75) with just a little more length of 80”. Would have loved this model if it had a king size in the back and a queen for the dinette. That would allow the back to be a king or two twins and still enough room for couple on the dinette.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you for the comment. This trailer with the size mattress and dinette you are requesting would have to be a much larger and wider trailer to accommodate your wish list.

[@peggiemcallister2245]

Solid!!!!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you Peggie.

[@tjtampa214]

Smart design, I like it very much. 👍

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you TJ

[@loriw2661]

I may be wrong because Airstream may be different but you never want to drain all the water out of your toilet. The gasket that seals it needs the water there to keep it from drying out.

[@colonialairstream]

You only need it damp otherwise you will have a wet floor after towing.

[@pmmurf101]

Great video again, Patrick! No other RV manufacturer's website or youtube channel that I've looked at (and I've looked at a lot!) take the time to do such a detailed job of explaining more than you do! What vehicle would you recommend for towing this model? And what's the best cleaning product for the interior walls? Thanks again and I only now need to save up to get this one!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you Pam. I would recommend a mid size SUV or larger that can tow a minimum of 5000#. I use Mrs Meyers cleaning products on the inside aluminum skin.

[@pmmurf101]

Gross weight leaves 1000 lb, how much is left if you have a full water tank?

[@ChrisWunsch]

If you use 8 lbs/gal for water weight, with a 27 gallon FW tank and empty black and gray tanks, you'd have 784 lbs left for other items in the trailer.
