Airstream Globetrotter Mods & Upgrades RV Tour

[@charliebrown8278]

Never in the history of humanity has so much been added by so few to so little. I thought boaters were ultra-mod monsters. Turns out I can have just as much fun with a trailer!! You guys always find ways to make the videos interesting and varied. And Caleb’s enthusiasm is always contagious. Another fun week. Thanks.

[@kylejonesUB]

Is that a paraphrase of Robin Hood Men In Tights? Lol

[@avefreetimehaver5154]

people are missing the part that he's running a business. he just made his AS his showcase piece so it works great for him since he can easily justify the cost and effort.

[@Traveler_GAL]

OMG. Do you know how many times I had to rewind this while cooking dinner. Awesome!! So So Many Mods. I love mod videos.

[@InTheMomentTravels]

Lol right!!

[@kriskris9330]

He’s got a really nice setup on everything and these mods are really cool. That’s what tens of thousands of dollars later gets you 👍🏼

[@jordancook1668]

Plus the 100 grand for the trailer…

[@TheBrodieBunch]

Ultra premium stuff.

[@VerissimusAurelius]

I have a 1972 land yacht in my backyard. I bought it about two years ago. I predicted everything would be wrong but I’ve been pleasantly surprised except for the rear bathroom which I’ll have to replace the floor. My plan is to put the airstream on a semi permanent location here in Florida Near the gulf where I can fish I want to have a 20 x 20 outside building with washer and dryer full size bathroom and walk-in closet utilizing the rear bathroom space for a full-size bed. Thank you for the wonderful ideas. I am a retired international airline pilot, and traveled my entire life , so I love to just be still 🙏

[@nanachick05]

Must be nice to have that much money to fully play. No sarcasm, being genuine.

[@TM-ne9ig]

Ok, that quick disconnect for the outdoor shower is the bomb. Great idea!

[@victorspaw2k]

Love that Globetrotter layout. I've had the twin bed layout on my dreamboard for a long time. Great mods. Thanks for the tour.

[@markjohnston8661]

Finally got a few minutes to check this video out, really enjoyed it! You guys always do a fantastic job telling a story. We had the pleasure of spending a week w/ Ronnie & family on our solar install and even though it was 100+ degrees in Alabama the experience was absolutely incredible! He is the ultimate skilled craftsman!!!

[@BarryDuttonSellsHomes]

Well, the last while I am back to being here every week to see what I can learn and how you are all doing. Thanks for stuff you all do.

[@johntheabolt7750]

Wonderful to see y'all up in my old backyard and to see folks from Alabama touring their rig! Happy Travels!!

[@dmwi1549]

Love the tour. You have to love a guy who’s passionate about his trade.

[@0HARE]

Wow, what an awesome rig! Thanks for showcasing all the upgrades. While us regular folks might not be able to copy all these mods, we can surely incorporate some of these ideas into our set-up. Happy Camping

[@c.p.1688]

Very techie. Great RV modifications/upgrades. I hope the RV industry is watching! I have owned RV’s but I am impressed!

[@grumpyshorts1056]

I've went with the AC500 from Bluetti instead of all that wiring with the Multi + II. Use if for the RV and can take it home for power outages. And it has a 50a plug for RV's.

[@bryaninnc5511]

That genny, along with 800 ah of battery, is a game changer. Also like the hydraulic jack. Looking forward to seeing the Olympics next week. We vacationed near La Push in the summer when I was a kid.

[@deltabravo1257]

8:57 My Arctic Fox truck camper has the same style outdoor shower. I LOVE IT.

[@Durkis0077]

I've seen Ronnies trailer in person this past July, I will say he has put a ton of thought into his upgrades. He help my out a ton with our Flying Cloud.

[@janewardguaraldi7975]

Yes, there are some get mods out there, but seeing other Airstream floor plans and how others have ‘updated’ theirs will get your creative juices flowing. We have a 2010 International, over the years and little by little, we have updated and modified ‘her’ to make the space more comfortable for the way we travel. Like you, solar and 16” wheels/Michelins were the first big things we felt were a must.

[@rockercover]

Sure is beautiful where you are at. The Airstream changes are so interesting. Thanks for another wonderful plus informative watch.

[@jeanninekoski1699]

I love you guys! I really don’t speak electric but each time I watch I learn more…thank you!

[@LeeH-Ranger83]

Marc, Great video and discussion with Ronnie. I’ve already reached out to him to setup an appointment for early 2024 for him to do some of the mods he did on his GT (StarLink quick-connect,etc.) to our 2019 GT. Thanks again - safe travels.

[@scottehrlich6653]

They are now my second favorite couple. After you two lol. I’m so sold on airstream now! Thank you for another terrific episode. Over

[@airstreamnutsandbolts]

Thanks!!!

[@janetfolkerts5827]

Creative genius ! Wow it would be great to simply follow this family around so he could install some of these mods in your AS.. Mods take talent, skill and LOTS of money. How wonderful he is blessed and shares his ideas. Thanks for sharing...

[@airstreamnutsandbolts]

Thank you!

[@garygeorge9648]

My In laws lived in Sequim and we spent a lot of summers adventuring the Olympic peninsula. In the summer Sequim has the Lavender festival and it is a great time. There is one walk to Cape Flattery that we took, and it was a great time.

[@lwhite530]

Hello KYD Family and happy Sunday! I’m definitely not first this Sunday… hehe. But hope y’all are having an amazing time!!!

[@rooftop7089]

I see a cap coming for your next truck. Make sure you watch this week for the unveiling of the new superduty. Also get your order in right away because it willl most likely take six plus months to get it.

[@pmroveda]

I’ll say it again. Your videos are bar none the best, regardless of the subject

[@deltabravo1257]

I have the same generator in my truck camper and I LOVE IT! I was on the Beta test program of that generator and it was a long arduous process I went through putting it through its paces in 2019 when I got my test unit.

[@adventuresofjandk]

We own a Lance travel trailer which we really enjoy. No need to upgrade anytime soon to anything else but that Airstream looks awesome.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Lance a nice trailer.

[@charlesgregory9976]

YIKES!!!!!! Each to their own. Ads a new meaning to Mr.Gadget.

[@eb4641]

Love the upgrades! Makes things much more functional and convenient!

[@michaelkronenberg6675]

I am interested in a parts list/suppliers for Ronnie's external Starlink port? Maybe a bit of "how to"?

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

I hope that you get/got to take the ski lifts at Crystal Mountain Ski Resort up to the top. Reward? Stunning views, and you can almost reach out and touch Mt. Rainier. There's a nice restaurant in the lodge at the bottom, and stunning views at the top. Especially sunset. I used to ski there, flying down the slopes, and gaining air time on the ski boards.

[@stevefrischkorn1627]

Just another case for a truck cap. Wifey say no way, makes it too much to old manny. Well im getting there but the space gained out weighs looks. My tonneau cover arrives on Monday! Lost the battle but won the new F250 Lariat. 45 years of marriage , ive learned where to take a stand. Loved the vids.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We were on board and then I had to wait 12 weeks. And they are crazy expensive now. Back on the fence.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

I would love to see more of Olympia. I liked the lighting in the cupboards & in the commode. I thought the mirror was a great idea in the cupboard especially when your not tall enough to see what's back behind something taller. The new mug reminds me of a thimble. Enjoy watching you every week. Goes by too fast with all the excitement. Have a good week!

[@janicevoss864]

Boy & their toys. Great updates that could helpful to make life easier on the road. 😊🇺🇸

[@andrewuriarte7581]

The Airstream has definitely been my favorite rig next to the bird. Love yall 3000!

[@peterobinson4389]

I was just happy to have a shower and toilet in our rig. We still carry our tent just in case we feel we are getting to comfortable and need that camping experience.

[@tombrown8522]

I stopped at the RV museum on Thursday and saw the Bird. Just wanted to say thank you for allowing the public access to the inside of it! I got a sense of how tight it must have been inside, but it is in amazing condition for it's age!

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Lucky you !!!!

[@kellyname5733]

Why did they retire the Bird to the RV Museum?

[@tombrown8522]

@@kellyname5733 The museum said it was donated, then they said it was just on loan, then it was on consignment, so they (museum) don't really know. The ticket guy said he thinks they were just looking for a place to store it for free for the winter, but I'm certain Marc & Trish wouldn't do that!

[@gregoryhenriksen957]

That StarLink mod was so awesome!

[@dawnita8]

I love this video! So many great mods and I love to see how they organize their AS. So…no one mentioned Ronnie’s eyes. 😂

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Copper Creek Restaurant is indeed known for great pie, largely due to the recipes and pie baking expertise of Jennie Z. People would drive up from all over Western Washington just for a slice of her pie. In the original TV show, "Twin Peaks", people may remember how much Agent Cooper enjoyed, and frequently recommended the pie at the Double R Diner. It's said that Jennie's pie at Copper Creek was the inspiration for that running bit in the series. I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me.

[@stephenbarr8822]

It's Sunday people, class is in session. I was happy just getting another battery for my C Class. Maybe it will come in handy. Marc, Christmas is coming sounds like you'll need a big tree for your gifts. Hope that hurricane isn't as bad as they think, seems it's headed to that area. Safe travels ❤️🤠🙏

[@theathjr]

Although all that fancy tech upgrade stuff was extremely impressive and interesting, my favorite part of this vlog was Charlie taking Caleb for a walk🤣🤣

[@debbiedavis9840]

So happy to see this video and know that Ronnie is just next door in Alabama! Woo

[@badgerpa9]

If you are still in the Olympic area check out Mt. Muller.

[@vitaminbp1]

Oh awesome you stopped at Copper Creek restaurant, I live in Puyallup and Rainier is little over an hour away so go there a few times a year and always stop there. Hopefully one of you tried the blackberry milkshake and or blackberry pie, so good. And the bread that comes with entrees has blackberry whipped into the butter.

[@sallyjaynes2433]

Nice *finale ..... Water 🌊, Moss & Rocks (flavors of the mountain side 🏔️ 🙌). Wow, on the RV improv mods, this is a 'go gettum make it work' type guy, failsafe! Possibilities endless ..... ☮️✌️

[@tomcorso2358]

I really like the scenery of places you all visit - great back ground scenes - love it

[@Scott_MS]

unrelated to this video, but…I’m in Barrie Ontario Canada and was travelling south today on our major highway 400….going north was a Bird just like yours…I had to take a second look to make sure it hadn’t escaped from the RV museum

[@RyanGuynn]

Really like that generator setup. Almost makes we want a topper too. Can’t do that yet

[@sykesc2]

Thank you SO much for this video!! We have a 28' Globetrotter with the same interior. I would love to do a lot of these mods, but the info on the cushion foam is priceless!!! My rear end will be eternally grateful! 🤣❤

[@InTheMomentTravels]

WOW...tech overload in a good way! Will have to watch this a few times.

[@zedhead2864]

Vinnie is great Love seeing him getting around on KZbin.

[@airstreamnutsandbolts]

Vinnie is a Great guy and a true Airstream Genius. I am lucky to call him my friend.

[@shaunbrandon39]

🤯that hot water wash tip is fantastic. I had never thought of that before! I have the same outdoor water connection.

[@airstreamnutsandbolts]

Works really well for bugs.

[@elzipperooo]

I told Greg about replacing that lock on the outdoor shower with a thumb tab before. It was on the episode where he made a remark about it. As I recall and correct me if I'm wrong. Greg said and I quote "on it" 😆

[@deanekonomou7641]

I put the hydraulic 19 in . Used ss lines . Look and works great.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Payday stash, yeah baby. That we have in our R-vision trailer! Lol. Nothing else similar but Payday, yes.😅 I enjoyed this cool video.

[@cindyrose4155]

This guy is so excited about his modifications…….lucky wife, all she has to do is talk mods and he’ll get all excited!!! 🥹😳😂🥳

[@leann4925]

Interesting tour of that Airstream as well as the comforts of home. Enjoyed and thanks.

[@janjeffers3462]

Awesome video - about modes and upgrades with Airstream Nuts and Bolts - wish I lived loser to Alabama - I am in California -

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Boys and their toys, you two were like kids in a candy store 🤣🤣🤣 It’s amazing how smart and creative people are, this stuff is over my head but it would be great to have ! So Marc, when ya headed to Alabama to get more frosting on that silver bullet ? Blessings and safe travels !

[@TSKseattle]

During all his descriptionsof the electric and other mods, I', hearing Tim The Tool Man Taylor's voice giving the occasional grunt and "ARrr arr arr"

"I don't think so, Tim." -- Al

Very interesting and informative video. Those are some amazing upgrades and all are very useful. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this great video. That airstream is so sharp and well done.

[@lilysgma2852]

I hope your Florida home is OK and everyone safe.

[@derekwaite7748]

Hi KYD, great video! Can you post information on the battery box in the truck bed, that they use to power the fridge? Thank you!

[@bonniecrable-reed4217]

Darn, wish there was more of Mt Rainier coverage. Also love Copper Creek Inn.

[@robinsonsontheroll5482]

I swear I heard Tim the tool man Taylor grunting when y’all were talking about the generator and electricity draw.

[@ticopowell]

I love that he has a ProPride!

[@TheBrodieBunch]

Some killer stuff in here for sure! I may have to apply some of these ideas to ours.

[@dfunk780]

Great video and Globetrotter Tour. We were looking forward to this one. My wife wants to know where Tricia bought her wooden bowls!

[@garydeserrano3367]

Love what you guys do. Being an Airstreamer, I Would love a link to the Furion grate and the 160 degree hinges. Thx!

[@christinasung5105]

At the beginning of your journey, you always told us start where you at, what you can, with what you have. Apparently this is something most of people can’t start with. But very fun video, interesting 😂

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Same philosophy applies. But conveniences and improvements can be made slowly over time.

[@airstreamnutsandbolts]

YES! Start now however you can.Where we are now is not how we started. Also understand that I own and operate an Airstream Upfitter business. So our Airstream is Rolling display of what is possible and not what everyone needs to travel successfully.

[@garryhammond3117]

Excellent video and mods! I can (and have) applied some of these to my Rockwood TT. More great ideas! - Cheers!

[@melissaweyrick5311]

I love Mods! Get's the wheel's turning.

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

Wheels, plural. There are four wheels. Wheel's is possessive... the wheel's tread, the wheel's diameter, the wheels brand name. Just saying. ⚘

[@jolenecreech7648]

Don’t get caffeine-overload with that new cup! 😂

[@jordancook1668]

If you’re having trouble finding “Cooper” Creek Inn in Ashford, WA, it’s because it’s actually “Copper” Creek Inn. Ashford doesn’t offer much, but that place is a highlight.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's the side effect having friends that are Coopers.

[@LilyWasHereMB]

I have the Dometic stove and saw those Furion grates on another Airstream video; ordered them immediately. Can't imagine cooking w/o them.

[@MaryGarcia-vy6fm]

I have a 30' Globetrotter and definitely need those grates.

[@boblamb6021]

That guy has some skills!!! I liked the idea of replacing the locks on the fresh water, stabilizers and outdoor shower. What’s the trick to removing the old locks…and what was used to replace? I’ve seen the Camco versions on AZ.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Very simple. Just press the old locks out and snap the new ones in. It took some finagling, but you'll get it.

[@paulbrown7854]

The Airstream Globetrotter is really nice they 2 other interesting models the Airstream Pottery Barn & Airstream BaseCamp REI Co-op 16 both comes with chairs table plates drinking glasses

the propane storage mod is great.

When your in Indiana you need to check out George Rogers Clark National Historical Park in Southwest Indiana. It has the largest national monument outside of Washington DC. And also in the same town is the 6th president of the United States William Henry Harrison home(Grouseland) which just went through a million dollar plus renovation.

[@don_sharon]

With the Onan so far upfront, the tongue weight has to be incredible. Not to mention, all that stuff - So. Much. Money. Is that really camping? The slide out for the truck - so you can take more stuff? And more lithium? What did he leave at home?

[@KevinWorkman-sw7dq]

When you 2 change your Airstream it be interesting when you sell your old one dose the value hold up if you get most of what you paid for it that is why I really like the Airstream brand it's holds its value

[@northstar68]

Are you going to remember all that, Mark? Guess you have this video to refer back to 😊

Great Mods and great trip plan, we did Rainer and Olympic in 2019 and 2020 (Trish is right, best Nat Park stamp) spent the day troubleshooting my lithium and solar/inverter upgrade. 2 questions, any idea what portable washer thy have and is the jury still out on your Ninja air fryer? Ps I can just hear Mark making the pitch for hydraulic jack and generator 😂
