The Practical Caravan 2018 Airstream Missouri review

[@moniquel6273]

Never been into caravans until I saw an airstream, I think they are beautiful.

[@DummyloadFM]

like the presentation of this man !

[@Buck0seven]

The inside of this caravan looks nothing like the Airstreams available in America nor does it reflect the quality of workmanship of U.S. Airstreams. While this gentleman said Swift installs electrical bits and such, It appears to me that Swift receives empty Airstream shells from the US, and installs the interiors themselves. Have a look at the the walkthrough videos on Colonial Airstream's youtube channel.

Patrick rules!!!

[@gregsimpson621]

Air Streams are expensive. But they last forever! I'm not sure I would buy one. I'm from the United States and I'm envious of A LOT of European designs. Wish we had your options.

[@aidenavi5976]

Pro tip: watch series at Kaldrostream. I've been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@stanleydeclan4182]

@Aiden Avi Definitely, I've been watching on Kaldrostream for months myself =)

[@youseftaylor2776]

@Aiden Avi Yup, been using Kaldrostream for months myself :)

[@anth5122]

Swift also put the leaks in, free of charge 🤪

[@airstreamofscottsdale4231]

Lovely Airstream and great presentation!

[@practicalcaravan]

Thanks!

[@jamiemcneill3]

Hello, I really like the production of your video. Your commentary was excellent showing great knowledge of the Airstream and your transitions were excellent, too. May I ask what camera you used to film this piece? Thank you.

[@situated4]

Really neat. Especially for one or two people. I like it. Thank you for posting.

[@sapelesam]

You are wrong that if someone wants an Airstream they will pay the price. I was going to buy from the previous dealers but the price for the twin axle has gone up by appox £20,000, I cant justify £100,000 with that spec and and US quality.

[@mfhairstream6812]

great review.

[@theodorhildingsson3654]

I like the old design on the outside

[@teaforthree1]

At this price finish should be perfect. Having said that, sure, I’d like one

[@fofofofo3076]

One think i dont like about airsteam is the alluminuim desing in the summer the sun kill the alluminum and it very hot inside !

[@Boodieman72]

Why do Airstreams get cool names in other countries but in the US where they are made they just get a letter and number like 23CB?

[@colinrimmer789]

Love the look of the van but not the 1970’s kitchen style plastic cupboard doors.

[@Linda-un6cg]

Have a gently used airstream in the US following what's happening in the UK market for when I eventually return. This model is nearly the price of a small terraced house, over priced and feels unfinished. Really dislike the colour scheme, red and brown and the red painted overhead cabinets and cheap looking plastic slide doors and then the disconnected bathroom colours. I have a nicer finish in my 2012 model. Airstream and swift you can do better!

[@philo5096]

Single axle, no thanx.

[@Larryloafer488]

I’ll be staying clear of Swift, Just check their twitter comments. Adria seem a safer bet.

[@oceandrew]

Is that Richard Attenborough's son?

[@patrickeh696]

Why do they cost SO much more in UK than in the US?

[@jimbotheassclown]

Overseas shipping then the UK labor putting in EU appliances. And U.S then the UK Dealers mark up's.

[@timogronroos4642]

jimbotheassclown plus very different VAT

[@jondecarbonel8158]

The Americans! WOW great presentation. In not sure if this unit in the US is called a BAMBI like the deer. The names the UK trailers have are awesome though. They're named after beautiful places. Ok thanks and Cherio!

[@bosse641]

It's very nice.

[@erikaruppert8355]

John Grytbakk likmy trailer bought lightly used for $8.000. & its bigger & set up better

[@erikaruppert8355]

John Grytbakk dont buy the name.

[@daviddavis5689]

On the road true travel trailer the Airstream can't beat. They will survive years after others are in junkyard.

[@langeblanc494]

Well just let me tell you something if those airstream travel trailers were sold in the US they would go for sale at 40 000 euros and again....I just can not believe the profit made by Airstream Germany and then by their "official"dealerships in France and in the UK. First no interior grey water tank, an only 45 liters (yes 45 liters!!) fresh water tank, a cassette toilet which needs to be cleaned every single day, then shall we talk about the bathroom size (a real joke) but if it was only those little things...No......Airstream Germany, France and UK give you a base airstream price at first but then the fun only start : they add the shipping cost USA-Germany, then the shipping fees from Germany to France or UK, then the big big profit only really start : "Why not asking customers to pay for :" Televisons (they are included in the US ones), you love that corian counter top in the kitchen, well don't dream about it any longer, the one they show you is an option, you like it you pay for it, then what about that great steel sink? you like it again....hey hey wait a minute it is an option again...open your wallet! You want the only single dee zip awning they offer, well option again while that awning is always included in the US models price! one AC is an option also, you got no fantastic fans...don't dream about those you see with rain sensor on some US airtsream walk throught videos...Europe will only get them in 20 years time (as usual) but the worst of the worst they want you to pay a lot again for that package you will really need to use your travel trailer..and that package include of course the outside grey waste water tank...at the end for their euopean Airstream" 684" you ll arrive at 150 000/ 160 000 euros while a 30' CLASSIC US travel trailer with real wood cabinets, 2 televisions, huge water tanks (grey, fresh and black), real toilet, awnings everywhere, corian counter tops, etc...etc...will cost you 80 000 euros. Knowing that the CLASSIC model is the most luxuous one from Airstream..so where is the joke, how come Airstream USA let those people in Germany making so much profit?? Let me tell you something it gives a really bad image about the company and I really hope that Airstream in the US will so something about that and stop all those ridiculous options the europeans play with to gain more money!

[@tamaraweber3296]

Love everything except the checkerd curtains and checkerd pillows, they are too plain and dull for this beautiful interior.

[@WestShoreMan]

My Airstream is the Best money I ever spent!

[@opencurtin]

It's a real piece of Americana..

[@koshtie]

For that sort of money I would get a tabbert cellini slid out every time!!!

[@alanjackson4646]

More ‘cr*p’ from across the pond, finished by Swift doesn’t help. Good chassis though. £80,000 very amusing. Cheers AJ

[@jimbotheassclown]

Does Britain even make any products any more?

[@davmar5648]

The Swift bit does put me off a little. They produce caravans at 1 every 23 minutes I'm told. I think paying around £80k for a van with Swift somewhere on it I don't like.

[@path_ethics]

Airstreams looks fantastic, but the price must be a bad joke lol. I would rather buy a house

[@brianknowles1727]

How can you say loads of room to prepare food tell the truth it's garbage

[@Ssliverin]

Why don't we get the black out curtains like the Americans do ? Instead we get the cheap 1970's shite

[@antonmarkov1635]

This is a weird floor plan. Not in a good way

[@terrancel1786]

easier to build it diy.

[@terrancel1786]

biy built it yourself.

[@smurph222]

Is the person who designed the interior colour blind? Awful and those garish red lockers yuk

[@howiseeit5129]

Looks like a "made in China" version of the real American ones!

[@plodd3293]

Some people will pay way over the odds just to show others they have money to burn.

[@caravanstuff2827]

Over priced and heavy "TIN CAN"!!!.😂😂😂♥️🇬🇧

[@windsurfer49]

No real content" paying for sheet metal, much prefer to own a high end Swift" would not get much sleep wondering about some yob running a key down those very expensive panels, thats the real reality"

[@jimbotheassclown]

Sounds more like a British social problem to me.

[@bluetonic9538]

Looks cramped and tacky. Terrible impractical layout. No thanks

[@woodrows]

What an outdated piece of overpriced aluminum egg :) And no, I would never dream of leaving my motorhome for this. And yes, I also knew Airstream before this; it has in oh so many ways NOT been improved.

[@ottobauch2179]

Per Woodrow Nielsen lol you’re such an uneducated piece of shit.

[@blackwhite6391]

Otto Bauch why you licking that shit 🤣😂🤓

[@davmar5648]

Why watch this then ? No one is really interested in what YOU want.

[@woodrows]

@@davmar5648 I am 😘

[@sweet68pea]

there's a big market you are forgetting about... how about the disabled person who needs say a lift.. I looked at this caravan and these no way I can get my wheelchair in there.. or actually live in it.. come on folks start thinking outside the box for once

[@loufuddrucker391]

sweet68pea i ask similar questions about tiny houses. I had both knees replaced. Trouble going up and down steps. If i needed a wheelchaire couldnt get through the door. All these tiny houses have lofts. I posted on fyi channel and diy channel. Why dont they make tiny houses for peoplevwith disabilities.

[@harryjansen6990]

Thinking......small Toy Hauler work for you?

[@rscosworthfan]

shabby build quality

[@The_Big_Dawg]

American made is not a good thing. Their quality is always very poor. All show, no substance.

[@kazz1896]

You must be s troll? Airstreams build quality is amazing!

[@KT-rk6fn]

Airstream is know for quality...

[@LC-iy2qp]

MrDenizen So you think Swift quality is any better

[@jimbotheassclown]

Name a quality British car ...I'll wait lol

[@anonymoususer6683]

Uneducated comment.

[@brianknowles1727]

Looks awful get it out of the country worst van I have seen cover real issues that people have to deal with
