Thanks for pointing out the pros & cons of the Pottery Barn version. We found your observations helpful in deciding which Airstream to choose! While I love the look of the Pottery Barn version, the limited storage, easy to stain couch, cumbersome curtains, and price have us looking at other models.

We are going with the PBA, which should be ready in April! For us, we first loved the 28RB floor plan several years ago when we looked at Flying Clouds. When the PBA was announced we knew it was for us because it was that same 28RB floor plan with all the upgrades you described. Yes, I could definitely see storage being an issue for full timers, but as weekend warriors that actually works better for us so we don’t bring so much junk. The extra 3 feet (let’s be honest it’s really 3 because the Classic 30 is 31 feet) in the Classic makes a big difference in the closets. Compare the 28RB and 30RB Flying Clouds - besides the kitchen and dinette being flipped it’s almost identical layouts except the 30 FC has the size closet you’re used to in your 30 Classic (and a slightly longer couch, kitchen counter and toilet side of bathroom). Also the wrap around black out drapes on the ends are the same style we have in our 16’ Sport Bambi and they work fine, of course we aren’t used to what you have in the Classic. I would leave the first panel on each side covering the seam in the middle so I don’t have to scoot them all the way around each time. It’s funny because the thing I don’t like about the Classic 2021 are those window boxes that stick out into the room and cover the aluminum!

Lauren, so glad you loved that kitchen. But, like Daniel forgetting about the storage under the sofa, you overlooked the cutting board situated under the lid of the drawer when you pull the trash can out. There is another slide underneath with a smaller cutting board with a exit hole for your cut offs from your veggies that drop straight into the trash can from the cutting board. Wonderful job on the video!! was it me that first told you about this model?? I hope so! LOL!!

Wife and I looked at the Pottery Barn version about a week ago and we love it. However, we love the extra room in front of the couch in the 30 Foot Classic. Plus, as you know the foot rest on each end of the couch in the Classic. If we were weekend warriors then the Pottery Barn would have been perfect. However, on 2 to 3 month long trips not so much.

Wife and I walked thru the model at Tampa's RV One. Lots of eye candy. Stain resistant material is at best, stain resistant. The kitchen counter abuts the sofa without a barrier. When I cook, food flies. I would not want to cook in that kitchen for fear of staining the sofa. All this said, everyone has different opinions and likes. That's why all the vehicles made aren't all painted the same color.

Waiting for our 33’ classic any day now. I’m actually glad they changed to the roman shades in the Classic. I like how they open up the inside and you can see more of the aluminum inside.

We had a 2014 FC 28. One of the things I didn't like is in the dinette area there are two large windows. If your camping where the weather is good for having open windows You can't open the window closest to the door or it will get smashed by opening the door. We now have a 2020 FC 27 w/hatch and like it much more.

I owned this exact same floorplan in the 2011 International Serenity 28RBQ -- however, this trailer removed nearly half the already scant storage space. The storage under the L-lounge is about half, and the storage in the bedroom is about 1/3 what it used to be. Also, the L-Lounge can no longer be pulled out for a full queen guest bed. The killer for me on the pottery barn is that flooring -- it attracts dirt, and looks like 1950s linoleum kitchen....
@tfb2 жыл бұрын
oh -- and the 28 floorplan has that always-shatter dinette window -- the one, where you open the window and if anyone then opens the front door, the door swings out and shatters the open window.... I really wish they put the PB into the 27FB model, with all the storage spaces and a door that opens across the kitchen portholes

Kurt, we feel the same way. Someone mentioned that the fabric is stain resistant, so it'll be interesting to see how it holds up over time. We did love some of the detailed finishes though like the larger trash can, led lights in the cabinets (ours is always a pain in the butt and flickers), and the cutting board that fits perfectly over the sink, .We also liked the outdoor party ledge, but I think they sell that separately so we may order that.

Nice review - I will say that a 28’ Pottery Barn vs 30’ Classic isn’t exactly a fair comparison. My old 27’ Globetrotter is little more on par with the 28’ PB edition -- Also - As an owner of a 2022 Classic 30’ I can attest that the Roman shades actually rock and aren’t the same as the PB edition. They are very darkening (which I was skeptical about as well).

Appreciate your interior review of the Pottery Barn. Love the Airstream when it's the Tommy Bahamas. But the Pottery Barn 'NOT" .What I love about the Airstream, it's the opposite of my home with it's similar interior looks to a Yacht interior which Airstream is known for. Don't get me wrong the Pottery Barn additions have some pretty esthetics yet the brand name doesn't cut it; Pottery Barn have closed 50% or more of their stores. Airstream should focus on Yacht names or a writers name like Hemingway. My home is modern Coastal with some mixes of modern barn. Don't want our TT to have that look, but instead want to have an expedition look. We're upgrading our current TT to a Grand design 22mle, we have our PDI first week of Feb. I do see myself owning an Airstream in few years closer to retirement with their all Electric TT.
