Airstream Rangeline Walkthrough Tour | First RAM ProMaster® 3500 Camper Van

[@lawrenceedger292]

We love our Winnebago Travato 2021KL with twin beds and a lithium package large enough to run anything. Auto start recharges the lithium when needed. No separate generator needed.

I went to a dealer recently and really fell in love with the attention to details, nice design and materials used. I want one! My only 2 concerns are: 1. It needs bigger windows, what’s the point of covering windows with plastic? It’s nice to see more of what is outside. 2. It would be much nicer to have more rectangular shaped popup tent so you have more space when you there. More like a separate room instead of a place just to sleep. Thank you Airstream team you’ve done amazing job👏 the seats in the front next to shower are also really comfortable. I can sit there and work without getting tired or travel long trips. The table is also really nice and sturdy. Please keep future models this way don’t go cheap materials and built quality like some other vans.

[@JoyOnTheJourney_]

So fabulous to see the internal fresh water tank for winter camping, well done, Airstream!

[@Erin-Thor]

So that it leaks isn’t an issue for you?

[@evanknuttila346]

First off, congrats on a very well done video. I am a Solis 59PX owner, and in so many ways you have 1-up'd Winnebago, beautiful fit and finish just like I would expect from Airstream. However, there is one major flaw where you completely missed the mark and just don't understand your target market well enough and that is using a black tank, rather than a Cassette toilet. Buyers of the Rangeline are not the same as Atlas owners who jump from RV park to RV park. A cassette is an absolute necessity. Most Class B owners park their Van right in their own driveway and you don't understand how convenient it is to be able to dump your cassette right into your own house toilet, or into a latrine in a state park, or a public toilet or porta-potty at a beach or a marina, or almost anywhere. Some places charge $30 just to dump your stupid black tank! This isn't a luxury diesel pusher, rather Rangeline buyers will be camping in all kinds of places, like off-the-grid boondocking, Harvest Host sites, National Parks, etc. Black tanks suck, unless all you do is camp at comfy RV parks with the diesel pushers and class A/C rigs and you can dump for free. Plus the smaller blank tank size in the Rangeline means you have to find a place to dump more often. What a compete pain in the A**. I've owned everything from a Berkshire Diesel pusher, a class C, a Hurricane Class A, to a GeoPro trailer. Class B owners want a cassette, period. I predict if you don't offer a cassette option on the Rangeline you will cut your market by 50%. I certainly won't considering upgrading my Solis to a Rangeline until you do. If you had offered a Cassette option or better yet, standard, I would seriously consider the upgrade. If you added the following, I would be completely sold: #1: Cassette Toilet #2: Lithium Batteries that could run the A/C (look at the 2023 Revel) #3: Reasonable Solar Panels (maybe 300-350 Watts) #4: Adaptive Cruise Control Beautiful rig though

[@weldonreed1950]

This guy is spot on! Airstream did so much right. But missing this one thing will cut into sales.

Yes sir, you are correct and I also think they should ditch the generator for a full lithium ion set up.

[@urbanrver3527]

Great floor plans, seats look great. I’m 6 foot and do the seats go back a lot . Always had a hard time reclining or stretching my legs on very long trips.

[@vasilynikolaev3136]

Heating from the gas tank is a great idea and is the main reason why I would consider this van as my next RV. The only problem for me with this Ridgeline is a generator, I cannot imagine how a decent person can use it and make all people around at a campground hate you. Is it possible to replace it with a large Li-Ion battery pack like on Travato GL / KL? I also agree with the previous comment: cassette toilet would be by far much better

[@nyjunie1941]

I agree. Also, when they don't answer the possible customer, I will never buy one from them.

[@seameology]

Why would you use the generator if you're plugged into shore power?

[@ekdaufin1485]

Wow that screen door is lovely!

[@adventurehypelife3819]

[@KatyInNH]

Love it!!!!! Love that there are no obvious cut outs. On the exterior, would love to see an option for a trim piece on the awning like on the interstate or an awning delete. Great design - making me consider updating from 2006 Interstate

[@johndeu]

I would have serously considered this if it had a real Lithium package like Volta or Lithionics, 2nd alternator, and absolutely No Generator. Should have also been on a Ford Transit AWD chassis. Othewise, very nice interior, great layout, and fantastic job keeping it stealth (but try to get a lower profile A/C or Cruise N Comfort in v 2.0)

[@chuan-kangshih78]

The power system of this Rangeline is the most desirable to me. Those huge battery packages seems nice on the paper, but you do not pay the big money for good use. Moreover, batteries are consumable goods. When they need to be replaced, it would be a big pain. On the other hand, the noise of the ultra quiet Onan generator is not objectionable at all. And you don’t need to use it most of the time. For these considerations, I just canceled my order for a Winnebago Boldt, which comes with a 12,800 watts lithium battery package and have set my eyes on the Pleasure Way Lexor TS. This new boy on the block from Airstream seems very attractive to me, too. Even better than Lexor, by adding just 70 amp of the lithium battery, Rangeline is entirety propaneless. This is indeed a very attractive motorhome. I only hope Airsteam will offer a rear lounge/sofa bed floor plan with this power system.

[@lmt1022]

My next RV 🙂

[@wyatthumphreys4046]

That front wheel drive advantage is huge!

[@whotf888]

Yeah, especially in winter. With the weight of the engine above it, it's less likely to get stuck in snowy, slippery situations (source: I own a FWD Mazda

[@jamesjensen5000]

I like the blue color interior with light silver exterior

[@10basetom]

Nice addition. Would love to see (1) option for sandblasted front and underbody, (2) option for composting toilet, replacing black tank with another freshwater tank, and (3) option for solar panels.

[@Airstream-Inc]

Thanks and great feedback!

[@Yahitsdasha]

i drove one of these big problem is that is not a dully you have to keep that in mind less stable when all that weight is added surprisingly it a 3500 and its not a dullay and that V6 engine screams on light grades

[@joanmcerlean7158]

The interior design is absolutely gorgeous. Every bit of it. Better than Pottery Barn. Now please do something beautiful and new with the Atlas, and beef-up the solar/lithium (perhaps Volta system) and I will be ready to order the Atlas or whatever new B+ you come up with.

[@rubbadubbdubbs]

I'm a solis 59p owner with a pop top and rear sofa bed. This looks like a much better coach and I think you guys did a great job. I will trade it in tomorrow for this if it had one more seat belt. I have three kids plus my wife so need 5 seats. My son sleeps on a luno mattress in the front and sits on the rear sofa while driving. Hopefully you guys come out with something with more seating as I love what you did. Perhaps a smart seat that can clip in to the L tracks

[@Airstream-Inc]

Thank you - Great feedback!

[@chynasparks1]

I just watched a KZbin video of this rv. It left me feeling a little disappointed but now after watching your video, I’m really liking this. You showed me the shower vent, not seen on that other video. Important item for close quarters lol. I was also glad to hear you talk about air bags. I’ve watched a lot of videos on all the products out there and nobody mentioned airbags. I’m widow shopping at the moment. I would love to own one of these.

[@michaelnaputi2596]

Quality product again Airstream Rocks!

[@dougmanck4149]

Very well done honest video. You have certainly addressed and solved the shortcomings of the competition such as the Solis. Great to have an affordable nice size lithium system standard and totally eliminate LP. Right sized tanks and a usable bathroom. Great design overall, best floor plan out there.

[@Airstream-Inc]

Thanks, Doug!

[@ChiefComplaintX]

Finally! America is catching up to european RV's cant wait the progression. More seats more berths.

[@melodyhart2017]

So many great features,one complaint,the drawers have no dovetails ,the wood work could be nicer in the main kitchen area,also you loose a lot of extra space with the dinette area ,the option to turn it sideways would be far better ! Love the bed arrangement that provides extra storage .

[@somedayistodayrv]

[@SabrinaDawn444]

I absolutely love this! Sounds like you listened to what the vanlife community has been saying. Thank you so much for considering our furry companions! It makes a huge difference to us. I love that you didn't add a TV, well done! I do wish you made the microwave an option. Such a waste of valuable space for me as I don't use them. But overall a great addition to the van life community options. This is a breath of fresh air as I didn't like your other options on the Mercedes.

[@zachariahstillwater]

Agreed. Would remove microwave

[@kirbykracklemusic]

Is there an area on the outside down below by the black tank valve to store the hose to empty it, or how does that fit into the build? Thanks!

[@ldd9672]

Love it just not the second row of seats…hoping theres another option for that space…..

[@h.d.stevenson4713]

Not a fan of the old 'Silver Bullet Airstream', but they may have a contender with this one. Looks like a perfect camper (a little pricey tho), other 'get around town' daily/weekly family uses, too and love all the technology and 'getting the most out of every space' engineering! RAM has a 'BEV' in their relatively near future ... geared now to address Amazon's delivery requirements first ... and if Airstream picks up on that chassis/platform/electric 'Coach' they'll quickly become a 'Class B' leader.

[@sbluna4612]

Would love it if they made it with rear bath and twin beds.

[@jasonlucas2328]

Why didn't you show us how easy to put down the bed? Did you take an hour to do it? Overall, it's a nice van.

[@ghoover111]

What an impressive debut! This is well thought out and will allow folding Ebike internal storage. I was ready to abandon Class B, and goB+ or C. But I want easy parking access to the city, etc; like Urban Cowboy Scott of #GoSmallLiveLarge. Airstream Rangeline now tops my list.

[@Airstream-Inc]

Thanks, Grant!

[@lisam3869]

Will you have other floor plans? I would rather have a larger fridge than the extra seats.

[@taurusview9]

did you mean larger fridge than the extra drawer? Fridge is sitting above the drawer and that drawer can me removed to make way for bigger fridge. I agree with that.

[@qiyuef]

Does this has 360 cameras? Also it would be nice to have option to get rid of seats and table behind driver seat and use the space as dry bathroom.

[@ppierpont]

So much to like here - I just wish Airstream used the Ford Transit platform instead (and then maybe a Transit Trail upgrade option). Love the passenger seats with anchors, LP delete, lithium plus generator, digital controls, great cabinet organization, etc.

[@DF-sq3mw]

I certainly do appreciate and applaud Airstream’s launch of what appears to be a more aesthetically upscale Travato,. I currently find Coachmen’s Nova (admittedly, more expensive) providing a more compelling feature set. I watched the informative video and researched all of the feature areas (except the brochure download) Please correct me if I’m mistaken on specification differences vs Nova: * NEW Truma Aventa 13.5K BTU A/C (3 Speeds, Dehumidifier and Night Mode) * Solid hardwood cabinetry (Not found on Pro Master competition) * Rockwool R-15 insulation (Best insulated of any Pro Master) * Imported European dual pane acrylic windows with solar reflective exterior pull-downs * Fresh tank and black tank above floor to protect water lines * Fiberglass shower (seamless) * 7.3 Cu Ft. Nova Kool refrigerator * Sumo Spring front and rear suspension * Roof rack with ladder * Shower Miser Water Saver * Q-Foam in sofas, jumpseat and twin beds OPTIONAL EQUIP * Kozy Wrap® upgraded insulation * Li3 Lithium Battery System includes: 630 amp-hour lithium battery with internal heater, Bluetooth battery management system and remote LCD display, second under hood alternator with multi-stage voltage regulator, Xantrex XC Pro 3000W inverter/charger with Bluetooth XC Remote, Xantrex Echo-charge (Charges chassis battery while plugged into shore power). Onan Generator not included with Li3 Lithium Battery option. * Driver and passenger upgraded seat recovers * Tank heater for grey tank * Upgraded Firestone tires with black rims

[@RobLajeunesse]

I love that Nova too but the biggest feature for me on this Rangeline is the raised bed and cargo below. It’s a must have as far as I’m concerned. All these low beds in the B category is baffling. So much wasted space.

[@shelliewalters8322]

Are there floorplan with twin beds

[@johnharper2016]

Current AS owner. 2019 FC 25 RBT. Not my cup of tea but this looks like a very nice unit. FWD and efficient 3.6 V6 power makes for an easier upfit platform. Using regular gas to power everything is great idea. How many gallons gas tank? The front-end styling on the ProMaster Van has always been kind of an ugly duckling. Blacking out the front bumper/cover helps. Black/Grey tank included is major benefit. After all the upfitting how much cargo capacity is there? Rated to tow how much? 3500 LB hitch does not mean it can TOW 3500 LBS. Maybe small utility trailer? Does factory dash radio/stereo have SiriusXM capability? Hope Airstream does well with this model. Of course, price is important. MSRP? Like to see the company do well.

There is! The generator and heating and hot water system are fueled from a line installed above the quarter tank level of the gasoline tank preventing them from causing the tank to be depleted. If the gasoline falls below the 1/4 full level, the generator will not receive fuel and will not start.

Agreed. Heck I’d take the Transit over a Sorinter too! Less expensive to purchase and maintain. Dealers in every town, more powerful. No expensive diesel to buy and service. As to the Promaster: it has a very low rear axle. Plus this running boards will get hung up too easily. Plus I don’t trust their reliability. Don’t see the van life set spending the bucks on this anyway, but it’s nice that AS is offering a choice. BTW we have been Airstream trailer owners (28’) for 12 years.
