5 Things We Love and Hate About Our 2020 Airstream Caravel 16Rb

It's been officially 2 months living in our mini 16 footer Airstream and while we are loving and enjoying our time traveling and exploring, we have came to love many things about it, but also things that we would appreciate Airstream if they can take some of the things mentioned in this video in consideration. Other than that, we are enjoying our trailer and we hope to explore more places with it!

Nice trailer! Seems that the things you "hate" aren't really all that bad, but I could see how these inconviences can be a tad frustrating..especially the USB ports. May i suggest replacing your window decal?! That is not the correct way to spell prosperity. You've completely forgotten the 2nd 'p'.

[@juanpollette2925]

Get the Andersen Camper Leveler. It makes leveling your camper soo much easier!! And you can get rid of all the leveling blocks in your outside storage. Love the trailer. Enjoy!

[@lbl9066]

I just love these two. Living the best life.... good for them

[@ronque23]

I always love RV couples, the dog is a bonus. Excellent and honest review Happy journeys.

[@PatrickCobbPC]

We learned the hard way as well. Always setting off the alarm.. You don't have to take out the battery. Just open the exhaust fan vent. There should be a little tab on the vent outside your airstream..

[@milliesrdr]

My husband and I just found your channel.... we love it!! Thank you for your honesty good and bad!

[@thejopfam]

Thank you very much! 😊💛🙏

[@jamesvelvet3612]

Beautiful Airstream camper! Thank you for taking the time to show us around!

[@breannepiper]

Such a lovely couple! I really enjoyed the energy.

[@georgerpeterson5284]

When I was in my preteen years my Grandparents/guardians lived in two travel trailers 24 wilderness(Grandparents,Sister and I) for 3years. After my Sister(4yrs older) had her 14th she got tired of all the traveling and asked to be sent home to CA to be with our mother. Grandparents and I continue Ed to travel until I had my 14th we returned to CA so I could finish High School(class of ‘86).

The two pillows that you don’t like. They belong on the silver area in the shape of the pillows to create a headboard or side back lounge. Nice video

Your logo is 🔥

[@discoveringlockenest8420]

Fair assessment of your Airstream! Thanks for sharing!

[@thejopfam]

Thank you!

[@sjd5750]

I read somewhere that putting a shower cap over the smoke alarm, while cooking will stop it from going off. Just remember to take it off when you're finished!

[@elconquistadorII]

Great job on the video! Love your wife's reaction when pulling out the battery. LOL

[@JulyOverland]

Cute couple, seems like more and more young people are catching up to this life style

[@suedesignable]

I’m disappointed at seeing airstreams plastic slider upper cabinets...... a big step down from cabinets. I don’t want to even part way see what’s in there. Weird. We love airstream and so I guess we will be looking for used now

[@standarsh2186]

It’s because it’s been hard when purchase power has decline since the 80’s and 90’s

[@thenoviceoutdoorsman6895]

Susan Carlson it helps with the weight or load you have to tow.

[@KA-uv8gq]

@@standarsh2186 Exactly! More and more young couples can't afford a home.

[@randolphquintana3355]

A comment on our young people being able to afford a house is. "true that," as our government is allowing, Chinese no slam on the "Chinese nation" but allowing their cash money to, come into Cali and buy houses $900,000 +, to bypass citizenship visas.

[@chasjetty8729]

You two are awesome. The energy and effort you put in cheers the hell out of me. I really wish you two the best. Keep up the positivity and ambitious determination through the hard and the ease and I’m sure folks like you will make it where ya need to be in life.

[@CN-xt7hj]

Beautiful couple, thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@Lee-rq9do]

You guys are great! Lots of minimalist today.

[@rherb27]

Such a great video it made me smile the entire time. Thanks guys for the information.

[@Tanya-rr8gz]

Love the vibes

[@ouidabrady4261]

I love your video!! The way you present things is great and most of all you make me smile!!!! Thanks!

[@sarahmocke]

You did spread great vibes!

[@melodyadams9446]

Awesome video! Thank you so much for your information! Wishing you safe and fun travels!!

[@gericrouch7772]

Looks so great. You have to live with only what you need. I'm impressed.

[@parkjv1]

I just finished watching an introduction and tour of the 2021 16 Airstream. It covered two things that you mentioned that you hated. The bin at the head of the bed was mentioned as a clothes hamper. The two cushions you stored under the table were placed against the wall with curved side out to give that additional bed space more of a rectangular look! Enjoy your journey, you gained another follower!

[@wendy-uc9rj]

Seems that the things you love far outweigh the things you don't love about it. Good luck on your journey.

[@noladronelife_6574]

Great review with tons of humor especially concerning the smoke alarm lol

[@raghknarrscott1790]

Hello folks, welcome to the Airstream Family ! Your aft wrap around glass panoramic windows will accommodate the dark tinted privacy/stone shields that are standard on the Forward panoramic windows vastly improving you experience. My 2020 27’ Globetrotter was up fitted at the Las Vegas Airstream Dealership Service Department and we love it sooooo much better. And your smoke detectors are not hard wired in, they’re only held in place with dual sided stickers so you may reset them where ever you think is best. Have fun & be safe.

[@gnarfish5555]

Love this!! Thank you so much for the review!!

[@emilyc7615]

Y’all are freaking delightful! Thanks for making this video and being so entertaining ☺️

[@kbnikto6056]

Enjoyed the review. How cool that you’re traveling to all 50 states. You’re making great memories especially with your dog! What a nice young couple. Happy Trails!

[@jra7165]

You guys are awesome! I've been researching the Caravel line of Airstreams and there is a lot to like about each of them. I subscribed and can't wait for new content. :)

[@thejopfam]

That's awesome! Thanks for the Sub and welcome to the TJOP Movement!

[@Rainbowrobb]

Absolutely adorable $100,000+ setup.

Absolutely!!! ..Inspirational!! Thank you! Y’all are so cute and thank you for sharing!!! Very informative and great content. I’m glad I subscribed

[@joannecox4025]

Loved your video. We have a 2019 International Serenity and have the exact same love/hate list. Hope @Airstream finds you. You are great ambassadors for the brand!

[@kerrypatrone5560]

You guys are adorable! Happy travels. :)

[@marrmar1]

Thanks you two. I enjoyed your videos. Look forward to your channel.

Glad to find you guys. You are such a cute couple and I love your home. Thank you for the great tour! Enjoy your journey! (Jane in SC)

[@accordiontube]

Thank you! Very helpful. Very good observations. I am in the market for a 16'. This is definitely helpful!!

[@milesfullofsmiles3373]

That is a cute trailer. Thanks for sharing 💚

[@donInKirkland]

Thanks for sharing. We are going to shy away from an airstream although we bought the new Defender. Don't forget to set your interior LEDs to red when you're outside at night and it won't screw up your night vision when you come in to mix a drink!

[@johannamontilla200]

Pretty cool!!! Can’t wait to see the rest of your journey. 🤗 I saw our home in the background lol 😂....

[@thejopfam]

Thank you! 😁🙏

[@GadgCoProAdventures]

Aaawww...you two are an adorable couple. I also travel with my travel trailer to enjoy all of God's amazing creations such as nature! You guys have an amazing Air Stream!

[@karencharny1497]

Wow interesting. Well presented

[@Tipafoo]

Good looking couple! Nice Airstream guys! Safe travels!

[@evaadams8298]

Cute couple and gorgeous doggie! Great assessment of airstream as well 😀

[@brianklavano6961]

Thanks well done... Great Trailer overall..... 🇨🇦

[@yonigoddess]

I love the trailer, if those 5 things are the worse you hate, it’s actually not so bad! Love it!

[@meinschatzi8978]

How cute are you guys! Thank you, enjoyed your video.

[@ibiubuok]

This was a very well done, enjoyable video. Thanks for posting!

[@EricFosterMedia]

The two of you are impossibly cute. Best of luck to you on your adventure!

[@Retired11Hotel]

Great video! I have a Airstream, I took the battery’s out of the smoke detectors too! Get a 90 degree elbow for your water hose they cost about 10 bucks and will save you hundreds in the long run. The weight of the water hose connecting directly wears out the connector. Keep up the great content & safe travels.

[@behzadr4850]

Keep exploring and enjoy this beautiful lifestyle.

[@thejopfam]

Thank you very much!

[@crystalbee8526]

You guys are so adorable. Enjoy your adventure and love the video.

[@randomcoyote8807]

Helpful; my wife and I are thinking about getting an Airstream, so this sort of stuff is good to know!

[@donthompson9862]

That trailer is Made So different than fiberglass..those are built to last..good video

[@3catscarefreelife]

Good video. I am getting a Classic Airstream in November. I am very excited about it!🤓

[@skimbeeble8759]

I love the pan shot to the better and less expensive camper in the video

[@WinWin26306]

Thanks for sharing,very useful

[@ebenaeware2948]

IKEA toilet paper roll holder.. it’s green and will stick to the wall.. east to pull off for the wet bath. Mine is awesome.

[@meghandavitt1618]

This was a super cute review! Thanks for sharing. As someone who lived in a camper for a few years while building a house, I appreciate the things you listed as likes and dislikes. lol, that fire alarm would drive me bonkers too!

[@RelativelyRichLife]

Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing.

[@SeauT]

Thanks for the insights regarding your Airstream. You seem like very nice people. Best wishes.

[@robertscholz4486]

Seems like you could fix the "hate" of the cutting board by getting some strong magnets and mounting them on the underside of the cutting board -- when you don't want to use it, just let the magnets hold it to the convenient metal backsplash behind your stove. That will keep it within reach for prep work but out of the way and secure for travel.

[@ceciliapicinich1742]

Hello! We store our cutting board/sink cover under our dining booth cushion. Perfect place for storage during travel days as well. Hope this helps.

[@thejopfam]

@Cecilia Picinich We are now doing that 😁👍 We just wished it had an specific place for it when not in use.

[@davidc.5197]

Thanks for the video...nice couple 💑

[@markmcdonough9748]

Very nice review. Thanks!

[@samuelramos7303]

Loved your video! Good luck!

[@shelleymcquillin7329]

I just stumbled onto your channel. I ❤ it!! Thanks 😊

[@situated4]

We love our 2019 16-RB, but some things have needed fixing fairly quickly under warranty. The biggest was that the entry door would not shut and lock properly pretty much from the get-go, and its deadbolt would not engage. They re-aligned the entry door and its companion screen door at the Jackson Center, Ohio factory service center, and they both work well now and lock. The dinette's table leg release button failed, and they replaced it (would not unlock without forcing it). Finally, the window seals around the front center window rock guard are failing and coming loose from each corner, and the back window seals are separating already. We will have fixed under warranty likely this year. Now, being brand new to this and knowing no better, we unwittingly improperly discharged our dual AGM batteries below 11.0 volts while dry camping thinking the electric tow cable would simply re-charge them on the trip home, etc. Wrong. A very, very expensive lesson. The batteries became worthless boat anchors in less than one season. We are definitely educated now. Like yours, our new ($600+) AGM batteries are always attached to a solar panel or solar trickle charger, and we NEVER discharge AGM batteries below 12.2 volts without re-charging. When parked in storage for an extended period of time, the internal battery "kill" switch is not sufficient due to Airstream's notorious parasitic electronic draw. You must disconnect the negative batter cable as well at the source if not trickle charging.

[@JC-jw6dp]

Great looking Airstream,

[@julietterogers6887]

Love you guys!

[@GMack224]

Wife and I are about to purchase a 22 ‘ Bambi. We found your evaluations quite informative. As for the toilet paper, maybe you could purchase a small plastic container for them. That would keep them dry until ready. But overall, you guys made a wise choice in buying the Caravel and you look like you’re living large. Happy trails.

[@johnslade9358]

Great video!

[@wudemaya]

Wife and I want one! It's super minimal and cute!

[@tshering2003]

Nice video, thank you so much.

What a cute couple. That suspension music is so funny. I wish there was a lot more storage..

You two are so stinkin' cute. Happy camping!

[@esands7821]

🤗 Great video! You two are adorable.

[@NikkiG360]

Your Caravel should have come with a covered TP holder. Not sure if they're installed at Jackson Center or at the dealerships, but every Caravel we've seen has one. Ours has one.

[@barbaramcrae2342]

you can purchase plug in inserts that include USB spots, thanks for sharing this video, enjoy watching from Canada
