2019 Airstream Flying Cloud 23CB Walk Through Travel Trailer Camper

[@BeyondConventional]

Airstream needs to give Patrick a bonus his videos are the best.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you.

[@tammyvance8620]

Tofu Tactical I think Patrick needs a promotion & a significant raise in salary!

[@johnnymerritt9544]

I'm sure he makes all the money selling those airstreams

[@zaydenparker3784]

sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I love any assistance you can give me

[@dvsrn1]

My dream camper. Not too big, not too small. Dual axle. Perfect. Thanks for the walkthrough Patrick!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you David.

[@lloyddahlen1141]

David Shores very good, you are looking good

[@seabliss22]

Mine too 💞

[@johnharper2016]

Love your videos. Very complete explanation. We purchased our 2017 International Serenity 23D from Nick May 2017. We LOVE it. 15 K miles so far and no major problems. You guys rock. The 23D (now the 23CB) is the BEST floorplan for living space in a smaller Airstream. Pulls easy, backs easy. We modified our bathroom door in our 2017 to accomplish extra room without split door. The split door in the newer model gave us the idea. Airstream, when only the best will do! There is no substitute.

[@colonialairstream]

John, thank you again for your business and for sharing your experience.

[@Jim_Mundy]

Another great video Patrick. How the door on the bath on the 23CB worked was driving me crazy when looking only at the floorplan. Now it makes sense. Thanks for the time you devote to walking us through the Airstream rigs!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you Jim.

[@ericmcdonald9735]

Patrick, you are the best Airstream expert out there!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you Eric.

[@CarlosDangerTheThird]

The stereo with the detachable face is what sold me on this Airstream

[@colonialairstream]

Oh wow, really?

[@CarlosDangerTheThird]

Haha, No. I just thought it was funny that of all the things one might have in that airstream, the thieves would go for the stereo.

[@colonialairstream]

Yes agreed.

[@HybridFreak-ff9bw]

We just bought this exact model. We have watched this video several times and learned so much. Much more than what the quick out the door walk through the guy gave us at the place we bought. Thank you so much. Awesome video.

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks for watching I would have loved to work with you during your purchase.

[@gsansoucie]

Patrick, thanks for showing the sewer hose in the holder. I couldn’t see it actually fitting but you showed it does. Very helpful knowing we won’t be storing a hose in the bumper storage.

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks for watching.

[@shyn5613]

Very well explained. Kudos to Patrick for taking the extra effort to explain in detail.

[@colonialairstream]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rebeccabarnes3330]

You have the best Airstream walk through videos! When we bought our 2015 23D (same floor plan as this 23CB ) our dealer did a great walkthrough but we were so excited we forgot a lot that they tell you. Your videos can be watched over and over and you go into such detail on every aspect of the functionality of all the systems, and it really helps when we have questions and cannot remember what we were told. Every time I watch one of your videos if makes me more positive that Airstream is the best built camper out there. I am ready to upgrade and told my husband we needed to make the drive to Colonial since you have such great inventory and there would be a lot to choose from. You may just see us soon!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you Rebecca, I look forward to working with you.

[@marksloan4715]

I understand comments from people who don't like the size of the corner bed and prefer the front bed model, but I saw this 23CB in a west coast dealer showroom and was just blown away by the vibe in that dining area with the extra windows. I personally don't care for the dinette setup in the FB version and I think this 23 foot CB is the perfect floor plan for a couple. Lucky they make both! If I lived east of the Mississippi I would for sure buy from Colonial. Thank you for the video. Impossible to watch it without thinking bout Everybody Loves Raymond though :)

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you Mark.

[@brighton_dude]

It's a lovely travel trailer however I think I prefer the 23FB. This one has too narrow a bed for me. 23FB has a wider bed and I think a small amount of room around the bed which makes the bed space less constrained. 23FB also has larger toilet and shower room which goes across the back of the trailer. It's a very nice arrangement. The 23CB does have seating in the wrap around window at the front, which I like, but the 23FB advantages outweigh that for me. It is an excellent walk through by Patrick. I always enjoy them! Thank you. I'd love to see the Globetrotter interior available in the 23FB layout.

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks for watching and for your input. Patrick.

[@botaqhead]

What a great camper. I love the airy and open space, the decor is right up my alley.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you for checking out Colonial Airstream.

[@buhlerbrandon85]

Patrick, you always provide an awesome presentation! The camera operator is fantastic as well. Thank you both!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you very much Brandon.

[@scottfast03]

Patrick, As usual you taught me a few new things that I didn’t know about my trailer which is identical to this one, just a 2018. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you very much Scott.

[@ram8306]

Thanks, Patrick for the walkthru. You do the best walk thru's of anybody on KZbin. I'm in Georgia but, I would be willing to make the trip to your location when I get to the point to purchase an Airstream.

[@colonialairstream]

Randy thanks for watching. I have many customers from your area.

[@johnharper2016]

We live in western North Carolina and purchased from Colonial. Glad we did. Great deal, nice delivery presentation. We made a nice trip out of it and great shakedown run back to the house.

[@pmmurf101]

Great presentation, as always, Patrick!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you Pam.

[@donstoddard8458]

Hey Patrick you're the best . I love the 23 foot airstream. My favorite is the back bedroom, but I'm not so sure about that new bathroom door. I've always thought that they should have a pull out cutting board, prep space for the kitchen. Well when my dream comes true I'm coming to you to buy my airstream. thank you Patrick

[@colonialairstream]

Don, thank you, I look forward to working with you.

[@johnharper2016]

The new split bath door is really a nice feature. We modified our 2017 International Serenity 23D bath door to make it roomier in the bath area. We also installed a flip up countertop extension to increase countertop area. Easy modification. we LOVE our Airstream.

[@FishHeadBiologist]

Patrick needs to make a Siri for Airstream mounted in the trailer. Except Siri. call it Patrick.. If the owner has a problem he simply gets in front of the device and says 'Patrick My water is not coming out from faucet what do I check first".. then Patrick gives the answer and so forth on any problems.. This would be the greatest technology ever on a camper!

[@colonialairstream]

Great idea, now I will never have time off. :)

[@Webcrawler45]

I have watched all of the videos and so far this is the model that I want! Great Job as always!

[@colonialairstream]

Than you Jeff. This one is for sale at Colonial Airstream. Patrick

[@petraolsen2397]

Great presentation as usual Patrick! Thanks

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you Perta.

[@j1234ss]

Airstream the only trailer that isn’t cheesy

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks.

[@Acheron2010]

Really nice trailer for the size. Thanks, Patrick!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you very much William.

[@ourunplannedlife4991]

I love this trailer. I just wish the convection microwave option went where the oven is so the fridge could be a bit bigger to allow for separate doors for freezer/refrigerator.

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks for watching. This is a narrow body Airstream and the larger refrigerator will come out further into the hallway.

[@ourunplannedlife4991]

Colonial Airstream thank you for the reply and the education.

[@michaelw69]

Patrick, I really enjoy your walk-throughs. This is a great looking travel trailer, but I personally don't care for the layout. I think the 23FB is my fave.

[@colonialairstream]

Yes, they are both great floor plans. Thanks for watching.

[@heaventje]

I would go for the bunk bed model and use the bunk area as storage with plastic bins or something similar :)

[@colonialairstream]

Great idea.

[@mcelroychandler6267]

That's my thoughts too, easy access to what ever you put up there.

[@MTSVW]

That origami bathroom door is a really smart design solution! I wish there was a way to run the A/C when not plugged in tho. Places like Arizona can be deathly hot. I feel like an auxiliary generator in the bed of a pickup would get stolen quickly, so it would be nice to have a small gas or propane generator built into the trailer itself.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you for watching and thank you for your suggestions.

[@dawnross644]

Excellent explanation of rig !!!! Give this man a bonus !!!

[@colonialairstream]

Glad you like it!

[@sanfranciscobay]

44:45 When you show the rear bumper skids, which I assume would be the areas that would drag on the ground on steep driveways, why don't they put a pair of rolling wheels there that would roll instead of drag?

[@colonialairstream]

The wheels would be too low and would cause the frame to flex and buckle the body. In the 80's people used to add them and it caused damage. This skids work good.

[@sanfranciscobay]

People with nice homes don't like permanent skid/scratch marks on their concrete driveways, that is why I thought wheels would be a better idea.

[@coffeeis4closers]

I dont understand why Airstream doesnt hook up 12volt for the refrigerator so you can run it when you are traveling. I cant believe the 'safety' thing somehow out weighs the convenience of having the fridge on all the time. Great! trailer though. Would love to have one and as usual, awesome walk thru video.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you for watching.

[@lancomedic]

Patrick, in every video you remind owners to go outside and open the hood vent 25:43. Why isn't there some sort of inside lever for that? A pushrod or bell crank would not add a significant cost to trailers in this price range. Even the new Classic requires you to go outside, perhaps in inclement weather to open it up.

[@colonialairstream]

Airstream had this for many yeas in production, it still required a travel latch.

[@downtnchatt9286]

great job on this one- I appreciate all the detail and advice.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you very much.

[@redwoodcattledog]

What a great presentation. Is it possible to not have that bench extension in the living area? The booth is plenty for a couple. Is there anything under that bench that is critical like water or electric? We would much rather have additional storage or just open space if possible. The other models that do that have the bed in the front by the tow hitch, which we do not want. Also, is there anything that can protect the windows on the highway from being damaged from rocks and other hard debris kicked up by other vehicles?

[@colonialairstream]

Airstream is not offering this model with any modifications. The furnace is housed under the lounge. All traditional new Airstream trailer have stone guards over the front glass. Thanks for watching.

[@shyra7480]

It’s so pretty and amazing!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you.

[@JRSnyderJrAZ]

There is no audio from the transition at 36:52 on. The outside walk through is what I'm most interested in.

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks for watching. I used to start with the outside and many folks complained they wanted to see the inside first.

[@danorrell]

There's audio, it's just in one channel - I think it was the left channel in my headphones. Hope that helps...

[@richardkoch8752]

Really a great nice size trailer for one or two people ;) Question(s) can a larger inverter be installed? I have a VERY low mileage 2006 Toyota Tundra SR 4.7 engine with a max tow of 7,100 lbs.......would this be a good candidate for it to pull? You do the Very Best walk through vids........very thorough BIG Thumb Up!

[@colonialairstream]

A larger inverter can be installed aftermarket. The Tundra will do an excellent job towing.

[@theredreiter]

Just curious what is the largest factory installed solar system you can get? Another great vid by the way :)

[@colonialairstream]

On this size the max factory is 80W. Thank you.

[@joybarker1731]

Thank you for the thorough walk through! Is it possible to have additional solar? We will need more than what the current solar package provides.

[@colonialairstream]

Yes, you can add aftermarket.

[@rt40ish]

i clicked mostly to look at that Bronco!!!! :)

[@michaelloomisiii3475]

If you're a new owner, how do you learn all of these maintenance steps? Is there a class of some sort or just written documentation? Very intimidating for noobs. Thanks for the awesome video btw.

[@colonialairstream]

There is a newbie guise book you can obtain. hand on orientation at the dealership, Coachnet phone support an videos like these.

[@margaretcontreras2932]

Hi we have this model and when we have had problems any kind of service for example the heater wasn’t kicking on we call any airstream dealer they explain what to do so in this case they told us to check the circuit breaker inside the heater itself we unscrewed the outside panel and there was another circuit breaker we reset it and tried turning it back on before screwing the panel back on and it worked so airstream is ready to help not only where you purchased it you can call any airstream . We called Patrick and told him we found our flying cloud could he match the price and he could not do it . As a matter of fact he said if you could get it at that price buy it.so we went ahead and purchased our flying cloud 23 cb from Bay Area Airstream . Our salesman was Steve Crawford. They gave us excellent service. Our interior is truffle color. Wherever you travel with an airstream there is great conversation ❤️

[@planetbroccoli5405]

Wow! Alot of great info!!!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you very much.

[@gregormiller4037]

Can these be outfitted for Wyoming, Montana Idaho winters, either pre or post build. I would love to use this for my winter XC skiing and hunting.

[@colonialairstream]

There are after market upgrades you can do to the trailer and your site to provide a higher threshold f protection.

[@richardkoch8752]

With the solar option can you use one of the "suitcase plug & play" panels along with it? Thanks ;)

[@colonialairstream]

Yes, but when the batteries get over 80% it will shut the onboard controller off.

[@corystansbury]

How much additional mass (in addition to water) do you suggest most people allow for luggage and supplies?

[@colonialairstream]

The dry weight is about 4800# and most folks travel with 300-600ls of cargo and water.

Just starting to look at airstreams and considering the size of my indoor storage space. Is the length of the trailer, as in 23’, overall length including tongue or just the length of the trailer itself not including tongue?

This particular Airstream is 23' from ball to bumper.

[@nomansland4811]

Colonial Airstream Xlnt Thx

[@sullymurphy3571]

Plywood? Why not use solid maple, oak, pine? Glue breaks down over time. Just curious. Since Airstreams are the luxury camping trailer and $$ why not just use solid wood?

[@colonialairstream]

Plywood is a very stabile building material and is the best option for RV;'s especially since they are not going to be climate controlled 24/7

[@toptobottom247]

Patrick, How come Airstream don't supply pro water filtration unit so any water coming in from the city is purified and safe to drink? I think purchasing a Berkey unit which is taking already limited counter space is ridiculous especially at this price point.

[@colonialairstream]

For some time Airstream offered built in water filtration systems but they were discontinued due to owner improper maintenance. External water filtrations systems are available aftermarket. You can also up fit an existing Airstream with an aftermarket internal filtration system.

[@pixelmartyr8532]

I want this model. What kind of vehicle should I get to tow it? I'm thinking I want a Toyota Tacoma V6. Not sure if that's adequate and not sure if I should consider 4 wheel drive.

A Tacoma is okay for toiwng it but a Tundra is beter. 4x4 would be your personal preference.

Hello, I am interested in this Airstream but with the bunk option. Can you kindly advise if my 2018 toyota 4runner 4x4 will be able to tow this trailer? I greatly appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you.

[@colonialairstream]

The 23CB is available with the bunk. I don't believe the 4Runner would ne the best row vehicle for this Airstream.

[@Bluesidian]

You do a great job, but your cameraman doesn't always show what you are talking about. For instance the shade in the galley area you spoke about.

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you, we are always looking for improvement.

[@americantoylife]

No, the tongue weight on 23CB is near 700 lb, almost eat all of the half-ton truck payload

[@colonialairstream]

Many 1/2 ton trucks have more payload now.

[@americantoylife]

Colonial Airstream Yes, 2019 or newer 1/2 ton truck have little higher payload. But the older 1/2 ton truck such as Tundra and Ram 1500, payload is only around 1100lb (Crew cab). This Airstream tongue weight 700lb plus hitch weight 100lb. Total 800lb, then the truck will only 300lb left.

Thanks, we we’re wondering if airstream would put in fully electric seats, memory position, heat, lumbar, and adjustments. And how about electric mirrors? Thanks Patrick we watch your video all the time.

[@colonialairstream]

The front seats are from Mercedes and Mercedes does not offer electric seats on the Sprinter chassis. Airstream cannot add after market seats due to the cab air bags. The seats have a manual lumbar control and the mirrors are electric.

[@colonialairstream]

[@tjtampa214]

Saying foot instead of feet is folky speak, and I like it. It is common to use the word "foot" when describing the measurement of a particular item (5ft. frig.) when the item/object is named "after" the measurement (5ft. "board" ) ... but when the object is mentioned "first" you'd say "feet" (the "room" is feet long). 😏 just sayin." Craftsmen speak this way more than a pencil pusher would. Have a great day.

Josie, take a good look at every other brand out there. We did for 2 years. If you want a travel trailer that will last you a lifetime and then be able to pass it on to your children, there is only one brand to buy, AIRSTREAM. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. We purchased 2017 International Serenity 23D. LOVE IT!
