Thanks for the video, Patrick:) Usually, when I watch a walkthrough video it raises a lot of questions in my mind but not with Patrick. He is so thorough and covers everything in detail. Mr. Airstream...lol

[@kasze115]

Great video as always, Patrick! Wasn’t a fan of the original Basecamp, but I love this. More storage, bigger frig, love the extra seating. Much better overall layout. Really just needs a sink in the wet bath and it’d be my favorite single axle AS model. Brushing my teeth in the kitchen sink is a non-starter.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you for the feedback.

Yo Patrick, awesome walk through as always your videos top notch and very informative. Thank you thank you very much. Love this Base Camp

Hey Patrick. You do an excellent job with the walk thru and walk around outside, explaining stuff that others just don't. Kudos to you. Love your videos and also love your other channel! Keep those 2021 videos coming. Thank you. 👌👍

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks, will do!

[@calgal7828]

I have a 2018 which I love but this is perfect for two. Usually I prefer to leave the bed made up and just spend most of my time outside to eat etc. The bigger fridge is awesome plus the bath window 👍. I would miss the bigger kitchen area in mine. Overall I am very happy with mine. I didn’t care for the Nest with just one door. You do the best walkthroughs Patrick! Whenever people look at mine and want more info I just refer them to you. It definitely gets a lot of attention 😎

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks for the information.

I really like the height of the fridge. No more crawling on hands and knees to use the fridge.

Excellent walk through... 2 questions though: You mention the interior aisle tie downs for if you wanted to carry a kayak inside; what is the length of the the interior aisle (rear door to under the front bench)? and, what is the width between the rear benches (with and without table posts- want to see if there's enough room to carry 2 turned on their side)?

[@colonialairstream]

It is 13' from the back door to the dinette post and 33" wide at the benches.

Hi Patrick, glad to see Colonial doing more walkthroughs. Still say Airstream needs to have you do their walkthroughs, you do such an excellent job! Cute little TT, and I’m impressed with not only the storage, but with the porcelain toilet.

[@colonialairstream]

That's the plan!

[@jlscielo]

I am thankful Airstream seems to really listen or watch for user feedback in their design upgrades. Everything about this Airstream Basecamp 20X is what I hope for to travel part time in a trailer with my pets. Great review Patrick! Always wonderful. I cannot wait to get there to get one, praying for next year.

[@colonialairstream]

[@donkeller6399]

Well done Patrick, thank you. Could you be more specific as to why you recommend a “charge lead” from the 7 pin? Is there a charge benefit for the trailer batts? Be it any configuration of agm, lith, solar? Thx

[@colonialairstream]

Don, it is always recommended to have a vehicles 7-way also charge the trailers batteries unless you are using Lithium Iron LifeP03 Batteries and it is below freezing.

[@KU9L]

@@colonialairstream I see Battleborn now has a heated battery option that could be envisioned somewhat acting like heating pads that work automatically. One important point is that without that solution the older versions will have the BMS disconnect automatically at a safe temperature so that there will be no damage to the batteries from the charge line of the tow vehicle. That being said, I need to study how that safety function would affect the emergency breakaway function. With the internal battery heating pads it should be no issue to that breakaway function, however time will tell what I may be overlooking. An unrelated question I have is what is the amperage rating of the 12-volt power point above the 12-volt charging center? Intended for charging devices typically, I am wondering if it will support a 65-watt USB-C 12-volt charger for Chromebooks, etc. Any external monitor could easily be powered by a 150-watt inverter hard-wired into the 12-volt power center, my RV trips generally involve some type of connectivity to support office functions back home while on the road. Another question, I don't see a access box for roof 4G antenna amplifier solutions, there is probably a way to do it that will be told about on the forums later. -Dave

[@nateisright]

Great overview, Patrick! Does AS offer a teak mat for the bath? Thank you.

[@colonialairstream]

I believe one will be available soon.

[@zonacrs]

Awesome trailer and very in depth walk through. For 54K I expect higher battery capacity and a (edit : 2000) watt inverter.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you for your feedback.

[@CanadianTexaninLiguria]

200 watt or 2000 watt? Maxxair fan instead of the (not so) fantastic fan (junk), standard micro convection, storage under front dinette, 320w of flexible solar panels, Lagun table leg, foam insulation etc

I’m completely new to RV and campers my fiancé and I want one and we really like this one but I’m curious when out camping and there’s no plug in are you able to use the refrigerator, Furnace or air conditioner, what about a hot shower sorry if I sound dumb but how’s it all work

[@colonialairstream]

Andrew, I explain the workings of the Airstreams in the walk through tour videos, I have many others besides this one. The Air Conditioning and microwave would need AC shore power to run. I hope my videos are helpful.

[@wanderdawg9486]

Patrick. Great demo. I have watched this multiple times so when I finally get my Basecamp 20X I will know quite a bit. The one thing you didn’t show is the compartment under the roadside front cushion that houses the battery and the electronics. Other than that an excellent job!

[@colonialairstream]

Glad it was helpful! Next time.

[@epsnell]

Patrick, these videos are great, but i laugh because you always give the disclaimer that 'these are by no means a 4 season trailer'. I used my basecamp 16 to work remotely and ski all winter and spring every week from Thursday - Sunday boondocking with water in the tanks in a ski resort parking lot and its done fine in temperatures down to 7' F with most nights around 15' F. That said, I wouldn't do it straight from the factory with no additional preparation with water in the tanks. I'm only confident because I upgraded to lithium batteries and always carry along a backup generator, catalytic propane heater, an extra full propane tank, a couple bottles of RV antifreeze and everything i need to quickly winterize if the furnace fails. I'd argue that it can be a 4 season trailer.

[@colonialairstream]

Excellent information.

I have a couple questions. Can you upgrade to a 13,500 BTU air conditioner? How many solar panels can you place up top?

[@colonialairstream]

Yes can do the AC upgrade aftermarket if you feel necessary. There is room for two more 90W panels.

[@lonniethompson6178]

can you upgrade the propane tanks to 2 30 lb. also can you charge the batts. with a generator ?

[@colonialairstream]

Yes but they will not fit properly in the cover. Yes, all RV.s batteries can be charged with a generator.

[@schnabel5347]

Does the camp pressurized water input have the pressure regulator built in like other Airstreams?

[@colonialairstream]

yes.

[@TragedysHalo]

Any chance you could make a 20' basecamp x with the same floor pattern as the 16'? I'd like to have the 20' with the kitchen at the front. More spacious than spread around. Maybe that could be an option?

[@colonialairstream]

Currently that is not an option, but I am sure Airstream will have new floor plans in the future model year.

Great video and mostly an improvement over the smaller model except the window shades. Why would they design straps over the glass and rolled shades that take up almost 1/4 of the window? That really obstructs the incredible views from that model.

[@fotobug46]

Better have a look at the Intech Sol Horizon before you decide. Seems like this is a clutsy layout, having to crawl over 'stuff' or remove center from bed if the bed is in place to get out the back door. And the price of this is far more than the Sol Horizon..

[@cjzydeco]

@@fotobug46 The Sol Horizon is absolutely a very well-appointed camper, but it's not necessarily the perfect fit for someone looking at a Basecamp. I like the Basecamp for its back door and the free space that isn't closed off in a cupboard. We travel with cats, kayaks, and bikes, and the Basecamp would give us the flexibility to switch things up, depending on what we need to store or access inside. I mean, just being able to quickly access and clean an under-the-bed litter box from the rear door without disassembling the entire bed is a game-changer.
