Live/Work Full-time 19ft Airstream Bambi

[@ernestog.cabezas-bou7957]

Amazing video! Super helpful and more than I was looking for! Laughed so much!! Thanks

[@scotomaville]

Thanks for commenting. Your appreciation makes the effort worthwhile. Hope your adventures follow.

[@CreekCat1]

I'm surprised less than 200 people have clicked the 'like'. This was actually a good video and answered real questions I've had in my head. This video is better than all of the amateur videos I've seen. I'm solo so the 16' probably is where I will go. When I get there, I desire easy to handle alone, and easy to get into some off the main road places.

[@scotomaville]

We appreciate your comments and 'like' Yvette. Angelina and I have managed to outrun the nasty holiday weather all the way from the Northwest to Now Phoenix and have appreciated how Nimble a 19 foot is when it comes to boondocking. And although they call it a 3 season trailer it's possible to keep the heat on and not freeze up down to about 26 degrees outside at night. Best of luck to your adventures as well!

I love this because you covered everything that living full time in a small space entails that others do not mention! Thank you!

[@scotomaville]

Thank you. We're looking forward to getting back out there. This year has had a slow launch as we're gearing up to buy a '27 Globetrotter before heading out. I bet you could produce a hoot of a series with Big Bird doing the hosting!

[@milesandcoffee]

Thanks for sharing your daily routine in a tiny space. I am obsessed with tiny living and have embraced the RV lifestyle. I have been living full time in my 8 by 15 T@B trailer for 1 full month and I work every day. I plan to retire from teaching at the end of this school year and hit the road, heading west. I will become a workamper and see the sights along the way at my leisure. It's all I think about. Meanwhile, I am watching videos like yours to learn how to juggle and and make modifications that will make things more comfortable. I really like the tiny table that serves multiple uses inside and outside the trailer. I gotta get one!

[@scotomaville]

Thanks for sharing. I think you are brave and taking good steps to realizing your dream by 'heading out'. Every day brings new opportunities to see what we are made of... and our gear! That IKEA table has worked well. I love most having the consistency of stuff in its place while having the consistency (variety) of new views, people and places. Keep up the learning!

[@milesandcoffee]

@@scotomaville I am learning new hacks everyday. Putting things back in their proper place is key!!!

[@scotomaville]

Yeah that's funny. Everything that doesn't have a place will let you know!!! It'll be all over the floor.

[@davidroddy2012]

Hi wonderful job of describing life in a small space . We downsized to 20ft. Airstream last years year. We’re just vacationers and we were wondering if we had downsized to much. Your video is spot on in managing a small space . Tell us more. Thanks

[@scotomaville]

We think you guys are awesome for doing that!

[@scotomaville]

We're pretty much sitting out the Arctic blast and waiting for the snow to melt in Phoenix before we head south. Life is what happens between your plans.

[@peterfigueroa8807]

Awesome video. please keep at it you're a star in the making. You convinced me that a 27 is the way for us. Thanks

[@scotomaville]

Thanks Peter. We're getting ready to hit the road again, but have been hanging out waiting for the arctic air to leave. We see snow on the Phoenix cactus and... well, let ssay that '19 is easy to heat - so long as the heat is on all the time! At '19 it's pretty tempting to just stay under the comforter all day - and easy to do as it reaches from one end to the other! (I exaggerate)

[@trippgs]

Thank you so much for this video! It's the only resource I've found thus far which details a similar configuration to what I am considering... right down to the tow vehicle.

[@scotomaville]

You're most welcome. We're heading back out in a couple weeks, so I guess it's more good memories than challenges. We're still working toward a 27 Globetrotter, but as you know that requires a full size rig to tow it. Have fun!

[@davyjones5955]

Great video! It is nice to see what it’s really like living like you do. Bless you.

[@scotomaville]

We were getting on each other's nerves post covid and opt to a 30 foot globetrotter. Easier lifestyle but tougher logistics. Thanks for watching.

[@driline]

You've convinced me when I retire to get the 23' or 25' Airstream and just bypass the 19'. Looks like I'm in the Market for a Toyota Tundra :)

[@scotomaville]

Yep, the Tundra will tow uphill better than the Xterra. It's rated at 5K lbs. We did fine with it, so long as on the long descents we had accurate brake controller settings! The '19 would be fine for a single person. With two - well let's say it works, but is a chore.

[@scotomaville]

We're heading back out in a couple weeks, and the 27 Globetrotter will be the choice. Much bigger and it's too much compared with the nimbleness of the Bambi. Thanks for sharing.

[@scottdeney5970]

Well.... I know how it is... I own a Bambi 22 sport with very little storage, so I put a tall cap on my truck to hold the extra. That was a fun vid.

[@scotomaville]

I appreciate your review. How many seasons do you occupy your Bambi?

[@scottdeney5970]

About 9 months out of the year, but now I'm taking care of my 87 year old Mom so I'm grounded at her house, as soon as she gets better... i'm on the road again

[@scotomaville]

Good on you for being there! Keep up the support and your journeys will be sweeter.

[@Ocyla]

Such a good video! Esp showing everything, some people just talk in one spot for like 30 mins, it's infuriating. Great points about the space too.

[@scotomaville]

Thank you. We're headed back out in a couple weeks and will be posting several more angles on the lifestyle - and creating income to support it. For example - what do you do when your tow vehicle dies - and you are... yeah - great story!

[@experimenteks3974]

I don't think I could love someone this much to tolerate such cramped quarters. #ForeverAlone 😥 huhuhu For two people, the 27 up would be ideal. Bless you two for still being together after this setup.

[@experimenteks3974]

Also, they seriously need to make those windows in the bathroom frosted. You don't want to be THE view when you're in the loo. Geeez

[@scotomaville]

Hilarious... my son has shared the same. We're an enterprising couple - and some say 'survivors', so yes you are correct, it would be too much togetherness for most people.

[@magikerokero5329]

What kind of vehicle are you pulling the Airstream 19

[@scotomaville]

We used the 2007 Nissan Xterra on the 19' Bambi. The towing capacity is 5000 lbs and the Bambi is rated for 3400 lbs I recall. We found the Anderson hitch was sufficient for the light loads, and the short wheelbase wasn't an issue until the cross-winds were above 30 mph. We upgraded to an f-150 with a max tow package in order to tow the 30' Globetrotter. We invested in a ProPride hitch in order to ensure the long length was very stable - an wow are we pleased with the Hensley design of the ProPride. Thanks for commenting.

[@scrappysinger]

Thank you for the realism!! 🙏🏻💜

[@scotomaville]

Thank you for your appreciation. Airstream has to 'sell a dream' and then we discover the reality!

[@11jt2007]

How does your Xterra handle the 19' Bambi? I have a 4Runner and looking at getting the same Airstream.

[@scotomaville]

I pulled it nicely. I never had an issue keeping up to 65 or at the limit in the hills. I did have a little fright dropping out of the 7600' pass from Death Valley on a 8% grade. I didn't have the break controller high enough - but we smelled it soon enough to pull over and let our heart rate drop. We had an unfortunate discovery that many Nissan owners shared - the strawberry milkshake of death. A factory defect lying dormant in the radiator that cost $6K when it was flooded the transmission with coolant. We're hoping to be back on the road in the new year with 198K miles and confidence. The anti-sway mechanism was superb - it's an Anderson andersenhitches.com/Catalog/weight-distribution-kits.aspx Hope that helps.

Thanks for the feedback!

Nice sense of humor in a fine video.

[@scotomaville]

I appreciate you sharing. I see you have an Airstream... and MANY STORIES yourself? I encourage you to not concern yourself with the production quality, and simply tell a story from your gut (core/knower/intuition). People are eager to hear about Airstreaming.

[@brighton_dude]

I enjoyed this video thank you. It is realistic and fun at the same time. Even by European standards that is a small travel trailer. It is good to see that not all USA RVers have giant fifth wheels with vast fridges and multiple rooms. The small travel trailer or motorhome means you can go to many wonderful places that those in larger RVs cannot get to. That is a really great advantage.

[@scotomaville]

You are correct on the mobility. We've found ourselves going through a drive-up window at a Starbucks (bad turn into a parking lot) but hey, we made it through!

[@arnolddejesus5453]

I noticed you are towing your 19ft airstream with a Nissan Exterra. Do you have any concerns when uphill or high incline? Reason I asked is, I am planning of using my Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6Cyl, 6v, 8 speed with tow package when I purchase the Bambi 19CB.

[@scotomaville]

That's a great question and here's an interesting insight. We didn't have any problem by manually downshifting because the tow capacity was 5000 pounds and the Bambi was only 3800. However there was a factory defect in the transmission cooling system. The cooling line cracked inside the radiator forcing coolant into the transmission fluid which resulted in the pink milkshake of death - and a one year loss of the Xterra for an $8k transmission replacement. Consider all your secondary systems!

Thank you, this inspired me

[@scotomaville]

We appreciate your comment. This year is been quite the adventure for all of the full timers

[@rambalram2610]

That's a great video and very useful information. I have one simple question to ask for an RV experienced person like you... suppose I am on a PAN US Trip and down the line 6 months after I felt home sick and bored of RV Travelling.. in short I want a break from RV for about couple of months or a month what is the option left for me? Can I safely leave the Truck and Trailer behind and fly to home?

[@scotomaville]

The first thing that comes to mind is to contract a short term RV storage near your departure city. You will have to pay for the storage, but they will gladly exchange security for your payment. Or, ask your network for referrals to home or land-owners that would consider storing for you, or renting it from you while you are away. In our case, we returned the Bambi to the owner since we rented it for each of the trips prior to purchasing our 30' Globetrotter. Somewhere between the two ideas might be a good solution.

[@rambalram2610]

Thanks. Glad that you replied. Really appreciate it.

I believe it is cast aluminum made in India which becomes questionable for daily use... We keep buying and using them so must not be much of a question as the quality of the coffee's good

Not exactly full time living but more like full time juggling stuff!

[@scotomaville]

Wow - well said. To that I would add the abundance of sticky memories. The good and bad memories are worth the journey, but if you have a budget for slightly larger (less than 27) We'd recommend it for a couple. Single, sure a '19 would be fine. I cycled 3 times across the US with a tiny trailer, so the '19 is huge compared to those adventures (Bambi has a hot shower!)

[@BigSonnyTV]

Fantastic video. Finally someone living in a smaller Airstream. So many KZbinrs living the minimalist RV life but they are all in 25 feet or more. I’m intrigued by the smaller Airstream as I believe you can be much more flexible about where you go and stay compared to a bigger rig. I hope to live the nomad life in a 20’ Airstream. I like that model because of the good size kitchen. A couple questions. Are you full time ? What are your jobs on the road ? I hate the Airstream dinette lol what do you think ? (Would rather a nice couch). The windows in the toilet are a crack up. Light is great, getting arrested using the toilet...not so much lol. Hope to see more videos on your adventure.
