BEST Small Kitchen Setup | 2023 Airstream Caravel 20FB Travel Trailer

[@j.andrewwrinkle2172]

Is there anyone better than Patrick at giving an Airstream tour? I’ve been watching him for years. Still surprised he is not the CEO of Airstream! Once again, well done Patrick! Thank you for your commitment to excellence.

[@benutzer_definiert]

so am I 👍

[@colonialairstream]

Wow, thanks!

[@VicHockeyFan]

Agreed!

[@James-oh1wp]

He’s by far the BEST … covers EVERYTHING

[@aaronchandler2380]

After at least 3 years of watching Patrick’s videos and fantasizing nearly everyday about owning an airstream… we brought our brand new 23 20FB caravel home on Monday January 8. It doesn’t seem real… the excitement of being able to use one is something that I don’t think you can show on a video. Thanks Patrick! We feel as though we know you.

[@colonialairstream]

Congratulations. I would have liked to work with you on the purchase. Next time?

Awesome! Thank you!

Yes indeed!

[@Calatriste54]

Love our 2020 20FB. Virtually identical. Thanks Patrick, you're our walking Owner's Manual.. (Get the Bike Rack) 😃

[@colonialairstream]

Right on!

[@monkeyz240]

I personally would probably never buy an airstream lol. They’re beautiful, just not what I look for in a travel trailer. We have an old Coleman now lol. We’ll probably upgrade to a fifth wheel eventually. But I always watch Patrick’s tours his knowledge is awesome, and gives me things to think about when using my trailer or when we someday upgrade. All that’s to say is Patrick should own his own airstream dealership by now, he’s got me watching all these tours when I know I’ll probably never buy one 😂

[@dachshunddadbob6765]

Bought a 2021 Caravel 20FB this summer. Great little trailer! Has everything I wanted and then some. Great fit and finish.

[@colonialairstream]

Right on!

[@geraldmerkel7145]

Yo Patrick, as always thoroughly enjoy your tours. Always informative but you also give those extra added tips that nobody thinks about. 👍👍 Airstream has always been on my wish list. We currently own a 31 ft Thor Hurricane rwehavinfunyetmotorhome. I love your personal airstream van and trailer that you gutted and brought back to pristine condition. Hello again from Mid Michigan

[@colonialairstream]

Awesome, thank you!That was a fun project.

We're looking at getting a 2024 Caravel 20FB later this year. These vids have been so helpful, and y'all obviously know Airstreams. I Sooooo wish we weren't on opposite coasts. I'd be in your showroom in a heartbeat.

EXCELLENT video, very well done!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you very much!

[@danross7194]

Nice floor plan! Probably the best. But would want a larger fridge/freezer; and the kitchen counter top should be same continuous height all the way around… that and Airstrem needs to replace their task lighting lamps to something less cheap and more durable… these yellow and crack over time.

[@colonialairstream]

Appreciate the feedback.

[@adambomb5000]

When you showed the belly, there were some hoses running under the belly. What are this for?

[@colonialairstream]

There are LP lines in rubber protective sleeves.

[@adambomb5000]

@@colonialairstream oh that makes sense. Thanks!

[@kasze115]

Great video. When I want to know about AS, there’s no better source than Patrick. That said, what do you mean by the tv having ports for streaming? Do you mean HDMI ports? Would be great to know the make and model of tv. Thanks!!

[@colonialairstream]

The HDMI Port you can plug devices into for streaming. Some new 2023's and all 2024;s will have smart TV's.

[@aaronchandler2380]

About the stabilizers, do they keep the trailer from rolling away when you’re not hitched to your tow vehicle?

[@colonialairstream]

That is not what they are meant for. Wheel chocks are recommended.

[@lawrencepatricio5776]

Nice big Kitchen and dry bathroom for a trailer this size. I would give up that TV for a bigger ref with separate door for the freezer though. You go camping to enjoy nature and the outdoors. and of course eat.

[@colonialairstream]

Great idea!

[@jasonp.1195]

Nifty layout, very solid presentation. If I had such a trailer, the one unusual thing I'd want to do is rip out the dinette table and put in a window facing office style desk instead. I'd so much rather have the view directly ahead of me as I work or eat rather than the ubiquitous straight backed feeding station that dominates most trailer interiors. Most likely I'd build it around a single person desk, but I've also seen a few such designs that created a side by side shallow desk for a couple to sit beside each other while gazing outward.

[@colonialairstream]

Appreciate the feedback.

[@craigsouder9334]

Is it smart to carry a generator with you at all times in case of power outtages? And will a large honda generator power the whole thing?

[@colonialairstream]

Some owners carry generators. a 3000kw or larger is recommended.

[@tallblonde1976]

We have a 20 ft camper, (not an Airstream) and I bought a model with no dinette. I wanted a sofa,for those rainy days we are forced inside. Wish Airstream had that option.

[@colonialairstream]

The surveys rarely mention a ant for a sofa in such a small model.

[@teddybearisms2505]

My dream would be this layout, with 2 more feet extended out the front, with all of that put in closets. I would call it the airstream photographers edition.

[@cathyhill9944]

You are very knowledgeable and clear. Please show inside first. If I like inside, I will then be interested in outside. And, do people really care about the medallion?

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@brianlynch-ze9bq]

Agree best floor plan under 25 feet which sadly won’t work with TV or VT hillside home. We have a 2022 20FB. Only downside side is the 48x78 bed. Wish they made camper an extra 6-8 inches in length to give it the slightly larger but more practical for two midsize adults 54x80 bed that the 22 single axel has. That said I’ve been in the 22 and 23 and not a fan of the kitchen or cramped dinette. Ventilation not as good in 22/23 than 20 either. Dinette bed in 20 FB is easy to set up if each adult wants more sleeping space but it’s not as comfortable as the front bed mattress.

[@colonialairstream]

Appreciate the feedback on the 20FB floor plan from your own prospective.

Yesterday I commented about the 16 ft Bambi being priced at 80,500, a comment said this is 87,700? Same year?

[@colonialairstream]

A 16RB Bambi is not priced at $80,500.00 that was the 16RB Caravel video you were watching. They are different model lines with different features. This is a 20FB Caravel and is larger than a 16RB Caravel is is priced slightly higher.

do they have one with twin beds?

Twin beds are available in The Flying Cloud & International models 23FB and up.

So…. What would this cost?

You may have missed the pricing in the video tour. The MSRP is $87,575.00

[@bklynp718]

Great camper -- but I want the water fills behind a lock, preferably behind a door. I would not accept that as-is. It's 2023 -- it needs to be tamper-proof and it's an easy one to do.

Safety and customer satisfaction are paramount to us, and we'll certainly pass your feedback on to the design team. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

[@ladygrae126]

Why is the interior so dark? Please someone give feedback to RV manufacturers, dark interiors make your space look smaller!

Airstream offers light and dark decors on similar floor plans. The sales numbers are split 50/50.

Wish that Patrick could speak clearly. He is enthusiastic but I have to search back and replay sections to understand what he’s saying.

[@Lex-Rex]

Does Thor own Airstream?

[@colonialairstream]

Wade Thompson and Peter Orthwein founded THOR Industries in 1980 with the purchase of Airstream, an already iconic brand. Since going public in 1984, THOR has grown both organically and through strategic acquisitions in both recreational vehicles (RVs) and buses.

[@bklynp718]

@@colonialairstream So is that a yes?

[@MichaelBecker-wq8xl]

Patrick is very good but his videos are very long and super detailed, for me I skip alot of info because from model to model it is basically the same and you never seem to have a good overview of the entire floor plan to give you a good picture of the model.

[@colonialairstream]

We have short videos available on our social media.

[@patboles4116]

didnt this guy have his own channel? and now he's this brands manager?
