Broken Airstream Part 2

[@brutah_venice]

If you guys can make it through that, with that much grace, you can make it through anything! Sorry for your back injury, Jim-I’ve been there! This was a hysterical video! 😂

[@lizzysherwood8607]

OK, I was right on the cusp of purchasing an Airstream, so when I came across your videos it COMPLETELY changed my mind! Not paying $150K to 200K for THOSE problems.

[@deannakuhn7517]

Missing you guys! Hope you are back soon!

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

So kind of you! We are off the road this summer. (Aging parent) but we are going to work on a summary/update video. Thanks for missing us ❤️

[@DebbieSanchez]

Miss you. ❤

[@benhandley9739]

Hope you two are good, haven’t seen any new videos and certainly hoping you are both safe and just taking a break! Be well.

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

Very kind of you! We have been off the road this year to help an aging parent move and stay local to plan our daughter’s wedding. We’ve taken that time to really focus on our health as well. We are in the best shape of our lives and currently planning something exciting so stay tuned ❤

[@benhandley9739]

@ happy you two are healthy! Look forward to hearing of your adventures!

[@craig-n1f]

Hope to see you again

Working on an update. Thank you!

We hope all is well. Thank you for sharing part of your lives.

[@Purpose-qi8hy]

I’ve been thinking about you both. I hope that things are going well with you. I miss seeing your videos. Take care

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

We really appreciate that!!! We are well but spending the summer with an aging parent transition. It’s been very odd to be home this summer ( AND HOT) !🥵

[@ibcwhite]

Thank you guys for these very informative (and sadly entertaining) videos. We have have 5th wheels, trailers, and our last was a 40' class a motorhome (lived in it for a year so my wife could work on the road). She has ALWAYS been intrigued by Airstream and I have to admit, they have grown on me (hard to give up all of the extra space). But after watching your videos, I am not so sure about them, and as one other comment mentioned, especially at their price point. Thank you for sharing your insights and we hope all is well.

[@maureenkelly1176]

Thinking of you and yours and praying you’re all safe. So devastated for all suffering in Helene’s aftermath.

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

So kind of you. Everyone is thankfully safe. They are understandably traumatized and in a state of shock but they will all be fine. Our Greenville, SC family made it here immediately following the storm. We had to wait a few days to hear from our Asheville family but they finally made it here on Wednesday. Our communication with our West Jefferson family has been a little spotty but we did get through to them the day after the storm and they are also safe. It’s going to be a long road back for NC but the support they are receiving has been so encouraging. FEMA support was flowing almost immediately. There have been very few incidents of people behaving poorly. Help has shown up from all over the country and Canada. The best in people is really shining. ❤️

[@maureenkelly1176]

So thankful to hear you’re all safe. Thoughts & prayers for you all for the long road of recovery ahead 🙏

[@maureenkelly1176]

So glad to read in your show notes that Airstream delivered and you got it back better than before. Can't wait for your next video. Love your positive attitudes and sense of humour! Thank you for taking us along!

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

Thank you for sharing such kind words!!! We are working on an update

[@benhandley9739]

I hope are both ok, always love your videos and perspective on life. Noticed you have not posted in awhile, hope all is ok. Take care!

[@sharonbryant8045]

Hope all is going great with both of you.

[@benhandley9739]

Great reminder on attitude and approach to things….hope all turns out well with the rig!

[@walterrafolski5662]

It’s ashamed y’all had all this trouble but you handled it like champions. Hope y’all get everything fixed soon and get back on your adventures!

[@larrys905]

Will there be a follow-up video?

[@thx4nutin]

We are sooooo glad that Airstream agreed to make it right!! We are about to pick up our very first RV (an Airstream) so that fills us with confidence that we made the right decision. The fact that you guys keep such a positive attitude through all the dips in the road is truly commendable. We hope to see y’all on the road someday. We are fellow North Carolinians. 😊

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

Yes!!! Congratulations! Just stick to the factory for the important stuff. Every single dealer wanted to patch it and Airstream fully replaced it all!

[@thx4nutin]

@@lifebetweentheditches1307 We miss seeing your videos. Hope everything is well with the two of you!

[@ChrisAndTroy]

We miss you guys! Come back and give us an update!

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

Thank you for missing us! We are off the road this summer but we are going to do a summary/update video very soon

[@airstreamer]

That was a freak damage. We’ve never seen that damage on an Airstream before. Best wishes on the fix.

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

Totally freak and so shocking to find. Airstream said they’ve seen a few and it’s due to an uneven panel but they replaced everything and it’s all good!

[@airstreamer]

@@lifebetweentheditches1307 Good to hear!

[@remitremblay2091]

What an adventure you two are having! Leaving the AS not next to your home….ha sh**! Good luck with the repair! Sad to see but lucky for you they are taking care of it!

[@lig8817]

Hope to see you soon!

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

Thank you!!!!! Working on an update

[@wannabefulltimers]

Glad AS stepped up. Just a suggestion. I always connect the water pressure regulator on the spicket, then the water filter, then the hose to the city water connection on the rig. That filter has too much weight on the connection even with the L shape thingy...just found your channel and your videos are very relatable.

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

EXCELLENT tip!!!!! Thank you for sharing that!!

[@brianpowers3814]

Before you disconnect the water open the facet in the kitchen, that releases the pressure to disconnect.

[@UpsideDownFlyr]

For the segment protector pulling the center support out, you need to consider the airflow over the segment protectors. We have a Classic 33 and tow with a HD pickup. Our truck has a bed topper and we run Rock Tamers on our truck. Both of these devices (the Rock Tamers & truck cap) change the airflow that hits the trailer. We also use a ProPride hitch which moves the trailer away from the truck by almost a foot - which also changes the airflow over the segment protectors. I notice your truck doesn’t have a truck cap and may not have Rock Tamers. To solve your problem long term, you need to change the airflow over the segment protectors somehow. They are running in disturbed air - which causes the shaking you’re seeing. So, adding big Rock Tamer mud flaps, some sort of air dam of the type you see in big trucks, or a truck cap would be enough to change the airflow so that you shouldn’t see the shaking of the segment protectors due to running in disturbed air.

[@cjmi52]

Any updates? Hope you guys come back.

[@timf6916]

You need to always have positive mojo, always positive mojo.

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

💯!!!!

[@djstopenhagen3711]

you helped me have a positive when things go wrong in our trailer good luck and can't wait for the follow-up! did u get it back yet?

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

So glad that helps you!!! It’s part of the experience we all sign up for the minute we get an RV. Hopefully the good times make it all worth it!

[@dundigintour]

where are you guys.................

[@lifebetweentheditches1307]

Sadly, off the road this summer. (Aging parent) but we are working on an update!

Please tell me you didn't take up boating and ditch the RV???
