I really like how he fondles and strokes some of of the metal features. Showing us how smooth and silky these features really are!

[@colonialairstream]

Got to love them.

[@katiem6773]

Love this. Great detailed walkthrough.

[@colonialairstream]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rickowen4410]

Impressive holding tank sizes for this small rig. Well-done craftsmanship. And great video -- as usual. Thanks!

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you very much!

[@houndone]

So I look at youtube and I see Patrick has a new video...which I immediately watch. I can't afford it, i would love to have it!!! BUT Patrick is so wonderful in doing these that I watch videos on trailers I am not looking to buy. Weill done and please keep doing them.

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks for the support.

[@stevanaeastwood8059]

Super neat lil trailer and love that tent that hookups

[@colonialairstream]

Great

Most favorite Airstream- such a flexible trailer. Patrick feeling that tail light-❤ he absolutely appreciates the product he demonstrates 🥰🥰🥰

Our pleasure!

Such a great video. So informative!

[@colonialairstream]

Glad it was helpful!

[@josephremenar3117]

Beautiful trailer; however, I think you missed the mark by having a flush toilet. Should have a Wrappon Green toilet or composting toilet which would allow for a larger fresh water tank up to around 50 gallons allowing longer stays dry camping.

[@mikeyseifert80]

They have an option for a composting toilet for this very reason.

[@colonialairstream]

The composting toilet is available as a factory option. The Wrappon is not a practicle toilet based on cost per flush for an active RV user.

[@paulsharkey4185]

FYI water weighs about 8.5 lbs/gal. So 50 gallons of water would weigh 425 pounds. You only have 800 pounds of optional weight - just saying.

[@ronaldhall2489]

Just eat a little less

Huge upgrade on the 2008 Airstream Basecamp I seen recently. Interestingly Swift ltd make a caravan in the UK also named basecamp. One of the most popular vans in the UK

Nice camper for adventures I think it’s needs a rear bumper with a hitch for a bike rack

There is an aftermarket bumper with hitch receiver available.

[@outdoorsman2b918]

Pat, I love the additions or improvements in this version. It would be nice if they add two quality plastic bins for the shelves under the fridge.. This way you can slide the bin out to pick something in the back without having to mess with all the stuff in the front. It will be also easier for the user to pack stuff in the bin and simply bring the plastic "drawer" in. Today most people want a convention MW oven. Is that an option or could it made to be a standard feature. I guess people will need to pay the dealer to upgrade both fans. Airstream should take a hint from Rockwood and install the best Maxx Air Fans. Doing that rear bed is a workout.

[@colonialairstream]

Appreciate the suggestions. Do to space and minimum clearance requirements, a convection microwave is not available.

Would be cool.

One fine trailer

[@colonialairstream]

Thank you for watching!

[@smooqalstan6795]

i just wish Airstream would offer the blinds that go from bottom-up (like Winnebago does). More privacy and allows you to keep a view out!

[@smooqalstan6795]

The soft roll-up blinds with zippers do that; just wish the cellular ones did. 😊

[@colonialairstream]

These are bottom up shades.

[@scottelwood8746]

These are very nice why don’t they us the Alde combo like NuCamp uses in the TAB line. Thanks

[@colonialairstream]

Im happy with the decision Airstream made.

[@daledecker8542]

Nice to have the angle on the rear for ground clearance…until the water tank gets torn off.

[@colonialairstream]

Be careful.

[@Be_Claire]

Congratulations you already have sell me this one and I have not seen the inside yet. Just take my money sir, this is how you sell me things showing me all the details and possibilities I can see myself and my dog sitting by the back door at the beach and even using that outside shower for clean dirt of my pony's hands and foots. It is a smart built.

[@colonialairstream]

Right on!

[@tomthumb2815]

This is some top quality stuff..you can't make something like this at home .and off the charts resale . A young person would be foolish not to consider an airstream. It's still the pride of the usa .

Is the recirculating water heater specific to the REI package, or is it on all of the 2024 Basecamp models?

[@colonialairstream]

For the REI

[@DavidKitchin]

[@irvingdog01]

I invented that zippered rear screen door. 😂 Airstream definitely monitors Facebook fan pages because I came up with that for my old Basecamp 16, and then did it to my 20 as well.

[@colonialairstream]

You must have patented it and licensed it.

[@irvingdog01]

@@colonialairstream nope, but in my defense, I did mine CORRECTLY, in that my “zipper mod” (look it up on Airstream Basecamp Facebook pages) is horizontal, not vertical. It was discussed at length several years ago. Horizontal at the level where the cushions would be allows you to access lower storage, pass things into the Basecamp (CPAP comes to mind) and you don’t have to look at a zipper seam. I doubt one could patent installing a zipper. Glad they were smart enough to adopt it though, because one way or another, it used to be IMPOSSIBLE to snap on the screen from outside of the Basecamp without it.

[@dewdude2112]

Your hilarious. I had a magnet screen door for my camper van dual side doors....30 years ago. ooooh zipper! cute!

[@BlondieSL]

Geeze! The model name is bigger than the danged trailer! 😅😂🤣 But seriously, that is a really nice trailer for its size. As usual, Airstream knows how do make roomy trailers. As I started to watch this vid, I thought, hmmm.... this might be a good option for our needs. UNTIL, it got to the weight part. Sadly, our Honda CRV only has a towing capacity of a miserable 1,500 lbs (probably due to being a 4 cylinder and the CVT tranny. Oh well.

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks for looking. Honda needs to step it up with their towing capacities.

[@LHallinan71]

Whoa, whoa Patrick slow your sexy roll… are you saying AC is an add-on - not included? Asking as someone who has noticed that temperatures aren’t hospitable in most US locations for Boondocking in the past two years.

Happy you enjoyed the tour.

Patrick, what do you think about full time living in this product?

[@colonialairstream]

It definitely has been done. The product is designed for recreational use for camping, not a house.

Are these windows a darker tint than the traditional Airstreams?

Yes, the side windows are.

We are looking at this and buying at your dealership. Can your dealership do modifications for us. We would want a bigger fridge if possible. More solar, lithium etc.

Thank you for the message. Please call us at 1-800-265-9019 to discuss the purchase.

[@mikeyseifert80]

It's the rugged ready to go adventure Airstream that you can pull with your mid-size truck.... or is it? My Tacoma has a rooftop tent, bigger tires, and additional upgrades... the payload on midsize trucks is very low, add in the Airstream, two humans, a dog, and your gear and your easily over your payload. This is going to be the case with anyone who actually goes on real adventures... We all have gear.... bikes, kayaks, rock pads, ropes, shovels, etc. Am I still getting one, probably...but it sucks that I need to get a whole new truck in the process.

[@colonialairstream]

Only the hitch weight gets deducted from your vehicles payload. The rest is up to you on how you load your vehicle.

[@mikeyseifert80]

@@colonialairstream A 21 Tacoma has a payload of 1685lbs -535lbs for hitch weight-500lbs for the truck cap-200lbs for bigger tires-200lbs for upgraded suspension-335lbs for two adults and I'm already in the negative by 85lbs without a cooler, bikes, chairs, generator, solar batteries, cell phones, dogs, camera gear.... everything takes away from your payload. This is only feasible with a fully stock truck and you're are still going to be limited with what you can bring with you. These are for still too much for a midsize truck, without increased risk.

[@mrericengle]

Trying hard to buy one, but all these delays are giving me too much time to look else where.

[@colonialairstream]

No production delays here at Colonial, we have them in stock.

[@KiwiKoNZ]

It’s quite heavy and a bit expensive tbh. I’ve seen a few micro campers that might be a better option 😅

[@colonialairstream]

Thanks for looking.

[@OliveVlog]

I heard composting toilet doesn’t smell like the others. Poop turns to dirt.

[@colonialairstream]

I would recommend doing some more research on that topic.

[@markderoller7645]

Right at the maximum that my 4runner can handle

[@mikeyseifert80]

If you have ANY gear you will exceed your payload pretty quick. If you don't mind travelling light you might get away with it but not a lot of wiggle room in a 4runner.

[@nateisright]

It looks cool but I can’t figure out who this is for. The tanks and solar aren’t ideal for boondocking. It’s not as luxurious as a traditional Airstrream. Who buys these and what do they do with them?!

We understand that price is a significant factor when considering a new RV. The Airstream lineup is known for its quality, durability, and timeless design, which contribute to its pricing. However, we also offer a range of models and financing options to fit different budgets. As well as pre-owned units, which could be a great solution to budget issues. Thank you for watching!
