In this episode we do a walk around of our new travel setup. We have purchased a Nissan Armada and Airstream Globetrotter 23FBT.

Be careful to be sure your within all your towing limits. Hitch weight and towing capacity is not the only thing to look at. I had a 2020 Infiniti QX80 and had to upgrade to a GMC 2500HD to pull my rig, which everyone I talked to said I had plenty of vehicle to pull at dry weight of 6300lb trailers and a GVWR weight of 8200. I did not! Remember to look at GCWR & and cargo capacity. With two people, dogs, hitch, 30lb gas bottles, batteries and anything your storing in front of the axles plus your cargo in the back of the SUV all counts towards hitch weight which the Armada only has a max of 825lbs. Keep a 10-15% underweight cushion on everything. Stay safe..... If anyone really wants to find out what their towing limitations are there is a great KZbin channel called Big Truck Big RV. He is great at explaining everything...

Dan this is always good advice, and I preach it on a regular basis myself. Too many folks doing too much with too little of truck, and I have always been guilty of it to some degree or another. My last truck was a supercharged TRD Tacoma. I have owned many GM trucks and Fords, and they have always been a disappointment. I can list them off the top of my head, and all the major issues I had with them as well.

Bro, cleanest airstream in the world.

[@Barchenhund]

Airstreams are and have always been exquisite. Nice modification to the bathroom door. You two and the dog be safe, take your time and enjoy your travels.

This is a wonderful video! I like hearing about all the things that help for you guys. It saves SO MUCH time for us newbies to hear what people have found that works and helps them. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us and all the details included! Now, if y'all can find an Airstream coupon for 20% off these painful MSRPs that would be appreciated as well 😅🤣🤕

[@UpintheAir.stream]

Thank You, Sorry I am bad about responding to comments, please make sure to subscribe, as we are releasing more Airstream videos weekly. The channel name had changed to UpintheAir.stream

Great vid: As you i take the hitch off my Pickup immediately. My wife's law-firm had a case where someone hurt their knee on a Hitch in a parking lot and owner of a Cadillac Escalade got sued. As you Love my watchdog & Zero-G water hose. My back up hose is a Aqua Joe. We own a Grand Design 2022 XLS 22mle our room is more in comparison to the Airstream 25; We may consider an Airstream a little later 25ft twins Globetrotter. Will say interior has many Sailing Yacht characteristics. We sold our Berky. We use Zero water dispenser filter and its small and has powerful membrane. But the Berky esthetically looks great but takes up space. Zero is the maker of membrane that you can take water right out of pound. You folks have good taste for storage items. I noticed the wood hangers, wife laughing saying we're not the only ones lol. You have a beautiful set up. Happy Excursions from Miami, FLA

Great Video!!

[@jeffreycarter3066]

I love that layout.

[@carolineriedlinger2904]

Thanks! We are in the midst of downsizing now, trying to decide btw weight of a Classic and lighter tow of a 27 FC or GT...23 is a bit too small. BUT, I love ur sensibilities viz mods and decor. So keep it up and no worries about the jumping around or length of ur videos. Yes I'm inspired!!

[@jennifervotodian2412]

Very nice setup. Get tips and will be getting some of your suggestions.

[@UpintheAir.stream]

Very cool, that is why we do this, sorry for the delay on replying, your comments are appreciated and motivating. Be sure to check on the other videos I have been doing, I am publishing one at least every other week, sometimes two in a week.

Great video- beautiful airstream- nice mods! We have a 2023 23ft International on order and were thrilled to learn we could order it with twin beds now that the 23 ft Globetrotter has been discontinued. We love the beachy coastal cove decor. The 23 ft with twin beds is quite roomy, (love the bathroom in the back jnstead of split on either side of the hall) and is still small enough for our light duty F-150 to tow with no issues. Looking forward to future videos !

[@charlielarive5873]

Very Nice, i have the same but a 2021, i put the hose's and power on the driver side storage and the chairs in the front. If you ever towards San Diego let us know.

[@aaronchandler2380]

super nice set up. clearly you're not into the boon docking thing.

[@jondrew55]

Airstream has discontinued the 23' Globetrotter. Really annoyed a lot of people.

[@jimmcquaid]

Thanks for the great walkthrough. Can you tell me about the chairs you have outside the AS. Make, model, comfort, like or not ? Thanks.

[@fletcherchambliss1590]

Target has great fabric squishy baskets

[@wannabefulltimers]

I know this is one year later, but I'm very curious how you like the dinette situation? I can't get past the uncomfortablity of those cushions and sitting upright all the time. Beautiful unit though.

[@UpintheAir.stream]

I like the dinette, this is a small camper all around, however the benefits are many for owning a small camper, and being able to park it in many sites that larger, longer trailers cannot fit in.

[@karischweitzer566]

How well does the Burkey fit on the counter? Can it be pushed back toward the window? Or is it too large to sit there because of the curved walls?

[@erink6436]

What was the brand name of the vacuum you mentioned? Thanks.

[@flyingmulerider7166]

What size inverter do these have? Thanks

[@UpintheAir.stream]

It is a 1000 Watt inverter

[@vaq130]

How do you like the twin beds?

[@CorInteractive]

Why did you get a twin?

[@UpintheAir.stream]

The twin allows for easier exiting of the bed in the middle of the night, but mostly the twin makes the Airstream feel more spacious. This is less of a concern for the longer Airstreams most likely but for a 23 foot it is idea. I think we sleep better as well. RV queen is not exactly a Queen size bed. Most of the time the Queen is situated sideways in an Narrow body Airstream. This creates the situation where you have to crawl over top of the other person or have them get out of bed. It is a fall hazard. Also we like to sometimes put a small amount of up angle of the head of the bed, helps with acid reflux from a long day of camp food and beer : )

Piece of shit trailer if you are in cold weather. The heater will crap out on you right away! You will get cold air coming into the trailer from the front storage compartment!!!
