Just things you have to deal with. Now, that is one of the advantages of having a trailer vice a van. We had a leak in our t@b that eventually started to warp our floor. Took pictures and contacted nucamp, scheduled an appoint three-months out, and got the floor replaced along with some other minor repairs. Took two days so we opted for a nearby hotel but we did get a chance to tour the nucamp factory. I think you went with the right option of using jp weld and the access panel. Def more secure. Safe travels.

Completely agree, it's nice to be able to still have a vehicle when the trailer is in the shop. So glad nucamp took care of you! Hope you don't run into anymore leaks

Hey, I think it is useful for you to find out from Airstream what type of plastic your water tank is made of, because JB Weld may or may not be the best repair product to use. It will be useful to know how long you can expect that repair to last because when it comes to plastics, its all about the chemistry.

Not surprised that your water tank sprung a leak, those rough roads really tear up RV's. They're not built that great to begin with, although the price you pay you'd think otherwise, but even main roads aren't that great either LOL. Just makes it worse when you have to live in it full time trying to get stuff fixed. Nice to see a simple solution in the end though for sure...I'd call that RV dealer back and ask where to send the bill for repairing what they seemed to have problems figuring out how to repair easily LOL. I've thought about getting a small camp trailer, but I think I'll just stick with a tent LOL. For a few years I was going camping all the time, but lately I haven't gone at all and as a matter of fact gave most of my camping equipment away 6 years ago because I wasn't able to go anymore. Its getting about time where I can start thinking about going again, so a tent and a few basics will be all I need for a while. The nice thing with a camp trailer is you set everything up in it how you want, and its ready to go, just hookup, fill the refrigerator with groceries and away you go...tent camping takes quite a bit more effort loading and packing everything then unloading at camp, and repacking. A camp trailer you just toss stuff in and slam the door and leave LOL.

Yes, if that JB Weld product does not work that tank is made with a potable water plastic and It can be welded with an inexpensive plastic welding kit. You dad could do it. He would want to practice on something other than the tank/piping itself. I welded the tank on my Scamp several years ago to remove a small bit of dirt that got in the tank. I happened to have a piece of potable use plastic from a household appliance (I think it was a clothes washing machine drum, maybe a clothes dryer) but I suspect such a plastic would be available from a variety of sources. I actually cut a small hole in the top of my water tank and welded a new piece in when I was done. It has not leaked since and it's been over some rough roads. Unfortunately, the JB Weld may interfere unless you can peel it off (in the event it does not work). Best wishes. That's a bummer. Of course, assuming it's a similar plastic. Test it if you decide to try it.

I had a similar problem with a travel trailer I had about 5 years ago, same problem from bouncing down dirt roads the plumbing was too stiff and cracked the fitting in fresh water tank. I actually fixed it with a plastic welding kit I purchased online, it’s basically a soldering iron that you feed strips of plastic into and melt your water tank and fill the crack with the melted plastic strips. It’s worked very well and for good measure I put a rubber hose in that section that connected to the tank so that the fittings would have less stress on them

Airstream Basecamp X Major problem. They don’t care! I have a 2021, on the Second Trip, someone pulled up next to me honking and waving something was wrong. I found a safe place to pull over and got out to see what was wrong. I was shocked to see the entire window assembly was MISSING ! I was very lucky as were others on the road, that no one was injured or an accident didn’t happen as a result of the window flying out and evidently taking flight. I later found out this has been a recurring problem ! I won’t go into all the details but I was able to cover the opening temporarily and make it to a hardware store and they cut a piece of plexiglass to fit the opening so I could take it to the dealer. After waiting months and months for parts that have Never arrived, I took the Basecamp to a sheet metal shop where they fabricated a semi permanent fix. So after all this time I still don’t have the parts and a permanent factory repair and restoration so I can’t use the camper. I now know why Airstreams last so long and look so good. They stay parked ! No wear and tear ! Airstream doesn’t care that this expensive product is a product liability lawsuit waiting to happen because it stays parked under cover. It was used one time. So much for the “good investment” argument ! It really can’t sell it until it’s repaired / restored so I’m stuck and they don’t care! How much longer will it be? Who knows? I’ve owned 4 Allegro Motorhomes , a Jayco Motorhome a Shasta travel trailer and 4 Jayco Travel trailers and have never experienced anything like this. I’ve since bought a new 2022 Jayco Jay Flight Travel trailer. Whenever this Basecamp gets fixed, it’s GONE ! I don’t want to go through another “Airstream Experience”.

Since you have the '22 you should have an access panel into the fresh tank. The drain hose is very tight, meaning as you bounce down the road it puts strain on the tank. Mine lasted 3 years before breaking so I wouldn't worry about rushing a fix. However, may be something to put a slightly longer hose so it has flexibility to move.

Are only Airstream dealers qualified to make repairs? I take my Lance to the factory as well. I tried the dealer where I bought it and found them lacking in knowledge of the trailer. Lance has electric hookups so I go the night before and have it fixed the next day. I make sure they know it has to be repaired the same day as you did. Often times it seems that repair shops assume that you’ll leave the trailer and they’ll get to it when they get to it even though you have an appointment. Service is the part of the RV industry that is seriously lacking! There is little to no consideration for the full timer. In some cases living in your RV can void a warranty claim as they are for recreation and not a residence. Some companies have a full timers warranty on certain RVs. Service is certainly a concern when you live in your RV. I will probably use a mobile tech one the warranty has expired. You just have to make sure they’re certified. There are probably not a lot of mobile techs that are certified on Airstream. Your dad certainly seemed to know what he’s doing! Hope the repair holds up!

You could have stayed with us in Apache Junction....but we have 2 Schnauzers....it probably wouldn't work out! In 3 weeks heading back to beautiful Colorado!!

Sadly Jasper isn't very nice to new dogs, it takes him awhile to warm up. But thank you so much!!

Train your dog so he can be a companion most places you go. He should be ok around you and other people and animals, especially dogs. He is smart. Try basic obedience training but at a competitive level so you both will learn. Good workout and it can be fun! I'm assuming your dog is physically capable of course. Good info about repairs. TY!

He's actually very well trained for those situations and goes most places with me. It's when Napleon is involved as well as other dogs that it becomes an issue

1) Not cheap 2) VERY stressful even when nothing is broken and SOMETHING is broken ALL THE TIME!

Wow. Too bad you developed the leak but great that your dad was able to fix it, for over a thousand bucks less. It's amazing how much these companies want to exaggerate the prices for fixing things. Just out of curiosity, how do you charge your laptop in the truck?

I have a 12V plug for the laptop. Similar to this: amzn.to/3MU14kK

Always thinking you look familiar to someone but have never been able to put my finger on it till this morning while watching a movie......You resemble an actress, Laurie Fortier, that we often see in movies on the Lifetime Movie Network and the Hallmark cable tv channels. Check it out lol.

You don't pay 1000$ a month on rent. RV a money saver 👏

Some months it definitely can be a big money saver! Others, it can be more expensive than an apartment. All depends. Thanks for watching!!

You gotta name names on the knuckleheads who didn’t perform your repair to your needs. I mean, what’s the point of being KZbin famous if you can’t make your enemies pay for their transgressions? :)

Hahah! I like to keep names out, but if you are ever curious just send me an email1
