RV TOUR | UPGRADED 2020 Airstream 22fb Bambi - full time RV life

[@hwezda]

Bravo for the bedroom cabinet with "Silence of the Lambs." You got me. Good. Lovely digs.

[@Roamaroo]

I’m glad someone FINALLY got the reference 👍👍👍

[@karenmessinger9609]

Just wanted to say that this was by far the best tour I've seen. You guys are very likable. Your airstream is beautiful but I agree with having the bigger bathroom as definitely needed. The espresso machine, well, definitely have to have that!! I wouldn't be without it either. Nice machine too. I'm subscribing for sure. Thank you for the great tour!!

[@amschind]

I've been looking at these for a while, and you've outdone a crowded field in terms of showing people what these are actually like day to day. Thanks!

[@Roamaroo]

😀

[@Roamaroo]

Are you getting an AS?

[@amschind]

@@Roamaroo Not committed yet, but it increasingly seems like the way to go. Using it to travel for work makes decisions more complex in terms of taxes, "Will I regret this and end up in hotels" et c. But the allure of a constant space and feeling less like George Clooney in "Up In the Air" is hard to resist....

[@Roamaroo]

@@amschind You can always book a hotel if you want a break from RV life. Check out Outdoorsy and rent one for a week or 2 as a trial. There is an adjustment period if you're not an RV'er already. One observation if you're going to work in the AS, make sure you're comfortable in the seating. I didn't like the bench seating in the Bambi.

[@amschind]

​@@Roamaroo Great thoughts and much appreciated. Did you guys find getting propane refills to be a q3 days chore or a non-issue? Also, did you notice any issues with the axles/wheels? AS says that the Caravel gets a nicer axle, and I'm unsure how much of a difference that actually makes. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

[@ronaldcrothers7914]

Very good video! My wife enjoyed seeing all of your organization/storage solutions! One Thing though..... It appears in the bathroom that you have a continuous open black tank drain when hooked up to public sewage. That is not good! Keep your black tank valve closed. Keep a solution of water/chemical waste breakdown/deodorizer at all times in the back tank. That will breakdown the #2 waste and degradable RV toilet paper. Empty the black tank when it is near full. Rinse black tank with your hose thru the black tank flush inlet on outside of the airstream. This will keep your black tank much cleaner than keeping the black tank valve continuously open. Leaving that valve always open can also lead to unwanted problems with the black tank, and allow unwanted gases from the public sewage system to backup into your airstream.

[@Roamaroo]

Thanks for the recommendation.. Yes, we do exactly what you recommend.. Keep the black tank closed until it's full or time to go. 😀

[@loriw2661]

I’m not sure if you mentioned this or not but as someone who has been camping for 30+ years, I just want to add that you should never keep your grey and black tanks open when you’re connected to sewer. Always wait until they’re full (and if they’re not, add water first) before you open the valves and empty them. I also recommend using a 90 at your water connection on the outside of the trailer. It keeps it from having that downward pressure on the connector.

[@Roamaroo]

Thanks for the tip.. 😀 we always appreciate some knowledge from a expert like yourself. I knew we need water in the tanks before emptying them. what do you think about this situation - Camping for ~4 days, leave the gray tank open until the last day - close it, allow the gray tank to fill up the last day, then just before leaving empty the black and gray tank. This allows us to have gray water to flush out any "crud" from the black tank.

[@moneybee]

Airstream really matched their form and function. Your trailer looks so beautiful and is so functional! Great video! :)

[@Roamaroo]

Thank you so much! Have you ever traveled in an airstream? 😀

[@sierratraveler5246]

Hi Guys, picked up my 22FB Bambi from Airstream of LA 8 weeks ago and have been home once, I love it and you guys too!

[@moneybee]

They look like such fun trailers! Glad to hear there is more positive views of them! Sounds like you're really enjoying the Bambi, that's so awesome!

[@Roamaroo]

Really!? that's amazing. Maybe we'll have to meet up! 😀

[@ACF6180T]

Nice review on your 2020 22fb Bambi. We have a 2008 22fb Safari Sport with a pretty much same floor plan. It has been a pretty trouble free travel trailer, & we have never used it boon docking. I got allot of ideas from your video on how to create more hanging storage spaces, & thanks for putting in some funny clips.

[@Roamaroo]

So glad you liked it! enjoy your travels!

[@SAGUY1971]

I have the same model Bambi but from 2012 and it's exactly the same. Like your upgrades and I might do those one day ( I just camp and not a full timer). I did remove the cumbersome awkward table as it is really too big for the space and found a nice round one which has a height adjustable hydraulic so it serves as a coffee table (low) or a regular dining table or even up high as additional counter space. My airstream came with a convection microwave oven that also has a grill / broiler (Cuisinart) which is awesome and I use it to cook all the time when camping. I do have a generator for extra power when boon docking and a decent size farm water tank that sits in the bed of my truck with additional water that a tiny transfer pump tops up the Bambi's own fresh water tank when it gets low. You guys have certainly made good use of all the available space.

[@Roamaroo]

Sounds like you've done quite a bit of boondocking yourself. Sadly we sold our bambi when we had our baby. But we still dream about the good ol days of living in our Airstream.

[@shaeh179]

Wonderful video! I haven't seen a video this good and thorough in a while! I am interested in this model so the video you guys created helped me understand the layout better. Please keep doing the videos

[@user-lo4wl6wd7f]

Thank you for the tour. I'm always curious to see everyone storage solutions. We started with a 23cb which was so cozy. We could not get a good night sleep in the small corner bed. Another problem was the throne which was on top of a box. My feet wouldn't touch the floor while trying to use the throne. We traded up to a 25rb which is a queen and now we can both get in and out without crawling over each other. I also enjoy the refrigerator/freezer upgrade. We were told by Airstream, it's not uncommon for people to upgrade no matter where they start.

[@AnandSwamy07]

lol, my wife and I consider our Breville our pride and joy as well. We are buying an airstream as well, actually the same model. Loved your video. Thanks for sharing!

[@Roamaroo]

YES! the Breville is the best! When do you get your AS?

[@AnandSwamy07]

@@Roamaroo We are picking out the details of what we want. We are for sure going to get solar. Your videos have been really helpful, especially the focus on the lithium battery. I'll buy through your portal once we get closer to getting our AS. If we place the order in the next few weeks, we will get it in the fall.

[@Roamaroo]

@@AnandSwamy07 Awesome, thanks so much!😀

[@burnafterreading7335]

I feel for the price of an airstream most of the upgrades should be included. Batteries, solar, and steel pressure hose

[@itchyisvegeta]

21:00 - With solar for boondocking becoming more common on RVs/campers, I'm surprised that chest refrigerators/freezers haven't gained any traction, due to how stupidly energy efficient they are. You know, the ones that open from the top. In my opinion, they would be perfect for campers, since they would function as additional counter space, and you could still have storage above them as long as the top opens all the way.

[@Roamaroo]

That's a very good point! We've found that the over all design has some antiquated features.. for example the TV, we never use it. They would be better off making a ipad holder. or a screen you can stream your laptop to.

[@DanGaskell]

I would love to see a explanation of your solar setup including how it's mounted on your roof and how it's wired. Thanks!

[@Roamaroo]

We’ll have to make a video on that. Thanks for asking.

[@2000talon]

I'm having seperation anxiety from my Globey (1962 globetrotter) it's in the shop updated into the 21 century. I live in Canada and installed a woodstove i prefer not to rely on propane. Great video I'm living thru others new lives of their airstreams. Congradulations

Wood stove.. that sounds really cool! 😀 We're visiting family for the next few weeks and we're missing our AS as well

[@canwealljustgetalong3779]

Thank you your video was very helpful

[@randallsguaranteedsold6361]

Good video! We also have a 22FB sport. Every time I see the decorative cushions on the rear side of the bed/airstream under window we get hopeful someone has figured out how to reconfigure the bed for easier ingress/egress. Somewhere I saw where someone had done some major surgery on this unit to make 2 twins. Love your lithium setup btw! One thing that I am thinking about is reconfiguring the kitchen seating area. It is not that comfortable to sit on the window side with the narrow seating cushions, and there is just two of us. Also with that change perhaps a table reconfigure might be in order… anyway, really like the Airstream brand, and your/our unit! Thank you for posting, super informative…

[@Roamaroo]

All of those things are problems we dealt with. The kitchen table area isn't great for 2 people. I saw someone (not an AS) redesign their kitchen table to have 2 small desk chairs. We thought about doing it but decided against it for resale value.

[@Roamaroo]

If you're planning on short trips it's okay, but if you plan on living in it I would look at bigger ones first. With that said, this is an AMAZING beginner trailer. Due to its smaller size, we've gotten away with some silly mistakes. ie. driving on the wrong road with low bridges, pulling into a dead end and turning around. If we had a bigger trailer we might have caused some damage to it or gotten "stuck"

The 23fb is when Airstream trailers start to have a walk around queen bed. If you're interested in this one, I'd check that one out. That 1 foot difference is huge in terms of what you get.

That's good to know. If we upgrade we'll definitely look into the 23 or 25 😀

[@Joe-cu4hi]

@@Roamaroo and wider too

[@BuckleBunny]

I wanted to add some more clarity for the new 2021 models for Airstream. The Bambi line still becomes pretty standard as the one that they have here, but the Caravel line which has the same exact sizes and floorplans as the Bambi model comes standard with an inverter and one solar panel. Those models still have the regular batteries but airstream offers a package that allows you to upgrade to battle born battery is in full solar.

[@Roamaroo]

Thanks for the info.. that’s good to know.

Regarding the lithium batteries housed outside of the trailer. What precautions or steps are you taking to protect them from the temperatures? Do you pull them out when it is cold out?

Thanks for the storage tips!! We pick up the same Bambi next week. We sold our previous trailer which was a Coachmen. It felt claustrophobic inside with very little windows and light. We travel with our dogs so the second bed is for them. Is the dinette easy to clean? Thanks for the video

[@steve6631]

Great video and editing.

[@kootenayevfamily4208]

Do you have another video clip showing you getting in and out of bed? We are an athletic family of 4 with two kids on the cusp of being teenagers... we like the exterior size of the 20FB and 22FB for towing into smaller campsites, but are not sure the bed solutions will really work for us. It was good to see you laying in the front bed for size perspective, but would also be good to hear more commentary and/or demo of how to get out at night! Also, we would sleep in the reverse order since my wife gets up far more often than I do - so is there room for a slim 6' person to fit into the corner with the rounded edges?

[@krpbubba]

Love your videos! Just curious why you guys don't use RV toilet paper such as Scott brand? We have been RVing for years and if you use the right stuff, it dissolves and flushes fine. Also never owned an Airstream so maybe it has something to do with Airstream plumbing?

[@Roamaroo]

We were given the recommendation when we first started. It wasn't that big of an inconvenience so we thought it was an easy thing to follow. One of the reasons was because our trailer has a black tank flushing nozzle inside the tank (i think a lot of trailers have this). Supposedly, the holes of the nozzle can be clogged by toilet paper.

[@tagoooU]

Flush the TP won't hurt anything. I think you were given bad advice. Our 1973 Airstream black tank dumps just fine.

[@krpbubba]

@@Roamaroo I mean if it doesn't bother you guys doing what you do, then that's awesome, probably makes flushing the tank a little easier, but if it would be more convenient for you to flush, I would definitely do more research. PS keep up the amazing videos. You guys are killing it

[@jbernicke]

Thank you for all the good information! I have a Bambi 16RB coming in a few weeks, and your power setup (200w solar, Victron Multiplus 3000/12, and Battleborns) is exactly what I'm planning. Unfortunately, our local dealer will only install components sourced through them, so I'm looking to DIY. Do you have the details on how this is installed? Or where might I get more info?

[@Roamaroo]

One word of caution.. if you have the electric fridge (our 22 has an electric only fridge) it will consume most of that 200 watts of solar. We have to “plug” our Bambi into our generator when every 3rd day when boondocking.. however, we also use a cappuccino machine and blender every day. 😀

[@danuelliaramdeen7373]

Love ur van wow its different from the rest

[@DennisMathias]

Hard to get a good perspective..but regarding the bed can't you just sleep 90 degrees rotation? Or is it too short that way? Do you have any problems with those two Lion batteries being outside like that? Do they get too cold?

[@Roamaroo]

I wish we could just flip 90 degrees.. unfortunately it's too short. RE: batteries, we haven't had any issues yet. We were camping in weather that dipped to 27 deg F and we were okay. We don't do much winter camping so i wasn't that worried. Also, i have one battery inside so if it gets too cold i'll always have one as a back up.

[@jeffmcclure888]

Love the inverter and batteries. Who installed them?

[@JimGoryeb]

Great video! Tons of valuable info. One thing: you said the black tank is 8 gallons. But the website says it’s 18.

[@Roamaroo]

Wow! I think you're right. I don't know how I got that wrong. I've been quoting 8 gallons for 8 months. 😀

[@joemoore9465]

Very Helpful Video, thanks so much. We also have a Bambi Sport 22FB. Can you provide details on the inverter that you have and if you installed it yourself or if it was installed by Airstream $$? I did not see it on your Amazon page but think that would be a great investment as we mostly dry camp and don't really want to use our generator unless we have too. We have already installed a ZAMP solar system and it does work great but feel the inverter would make things a lot more convenient. My wife loved your upgrades to the closet and I just purchased her the paper towel holder for Xmas! Thanks for the idea Santa! :)

[@Roamaroo]

Here's the inverter 😀 amzn.to/2KkunT3 We added it to our amazon page as well.❤️ We have the 3000 watt inverter. I had it installed by a 3rd party (sutton RV by portland OR). I would have installed it myself if we weren't living in the RV. Glad to hear the recommendations helped out. Merry Christmas!

Very nice trailer! Y’all do a great job of organizing your stuff. Very impressive. As a full time Rv’er, I appreciate the tips. It’s a small trailer for two people but you’ve nailed it! Well done. You keep your dump valves closed when hooked up, right? If you don’t, you’ll run into problems, especially with the black tank! Two people can sleep on that dinette if they really like each other!😂

As a full timer, what size is your RV? 😀 Also, when we’re hooked up we only leave the gray tank open. Is there a problem leaving the gray open?🤔

[@happyhealthyhuman]

@@Roamaroo if you let the gray fill up before dumping it after the black tank its used to kinda wash out the lines.

[@Roamaroo]

@@happyhealthyhuman Thanks for the recommendation. That's what we would do. When parked at Full Hookups we'd leave the gray open until the last day or so. Then we would close it and allow it to fill up to use it as a black water flush. 😀

The 4 runner will tow it but you never want to max out your tow rating. The engine and transmission will be put to the test if you decide to drive over the mountains in places like CO. You also need to consider how much stuff and people you'll have inside the vehicle. We tow ours with a F150

I wasn’t going to say anything, but after reading comments, you could use some educated help. Throwing used towelette paper in a waste basket is a health hazard. Please stop doing that. The tablets that you put down into your black tank are designed to dissolve toilet paper. Never leave a black tank valve open for extended lengths of time. How would the tank tablets work? RV plumbing is different from home plumbing. Don’t open your window or turn on your fan before using your toilet. That would create a draft that would pull smells out of the black tank and into your trailer. Open the window and turn on the fan afterwards. That will take care of most of the tank smells you are experiencing. That along with black tank tablets should take care of it completely. Dr. Dana.

[@Roamaroo]

Thanks for the tips.. 😀. I think there’s a little confusion with our practices. We don’t leave the black tank open. Sometimes I leave the gray tank open. 🤔How is it a problem running the fan when in the bathroom? Our toilet holds water in the bowl and is sealed, so no black tank fumes are pulled into the trailer. Is that still an issue? Lastly, how is disposing of toilet paper waste a health hazard 🤔. You seem like quite the expert. I like to learn from people like you 😀

[@Roamaroo]

I’ll take a look at this. Thanks for the recommendation

Very nice video and good tips. I'm on the fence between Bambi, Caravel or 23' Flying Cloud. I actually like the lighter interior of the Bambi. They want sssssooo much more for each step up. Not sure it's worth it. TFS

[@Roamaroo]

If we did it again we would have gone with the 25 or 27 ft flying cloud. I don't think there's a major difference between the 22' bambi and the 23' FC... but if you go to the 25 or 27 there's a BIG difference. Either way you won't go wrong.

[@carilynjurgeson6178]

@@Roamaroo The 23' FC gets you dual axle, walk/squeeze around bed and a real oven. The price jumps significantly though...I didn't really want to go into that price range, Seems like they bait you to keep looking up into higher range to get some of the basic amenities that should be in all of them. The 23' Globetrotter gets you a double door fridge, Obviously they could put it in the FC because it is the same floor plan. They know they kinda gotcha. Thanks for the reply.

SO TRUE!

Laundry???

[@Roamaroo]

Very good question. Our hamper is next to the bed. It’s a soft/collapsible hamper. We do laundry at laundry mats. 😀

This is literally the first video I've seen where they told us how tall the person was when showing the shower. Another video the guy goes, "I'm a pretty tall guy, so..." Well how frickin' tall are you!!!???

[@Roamaroo]

lol! You need to share those facts! right?! 😀

[@philo5096]

Get twin beds

[@RobertS81658]

Lol, you guys are to funny. Are you still full time RVing?

[@Roamaroo]

We just took a trip to West Virginia.. (Video to come).. we aren't full time at the moment.. but we might hit the road again soon.

[@joelcrow]

Woah....hold up. I've been looking at these Airstreams for like 3 days. $100k I can live with, but "cannot flush toilet paper down the toilet" is a deal breaker. If that is for real, "then I'm out!" #sharttank

[@Roamaroo]

You can flush toilet paper down the toilet. We just chose not to.

[@TheCartajay]

I love you both from the bottom of my heart, I hope I have a future marriage like the both of you

Loved your video but as soon as you said full bed.......I was out! Our dogs sleep with us and one of them is 95 lbs.

So? If you could have ANY MODEL AIRSTREAM TRAILER, which is your Dream ?

[@Roamaroo]

GREAT question. We have been eyeing a 25 or 27 foot AS. How about yourself?

Hope you remembered to repack your wheel bearings every 3000 miles.

[@charles.alvino]

I believe it's less frequent than that

[@Erin-Thor]

@@charles.alvino - Well... you made me do homework! It used to be every 3,000 miles. The newer model Bambi’s say every 10,000 miles or every 6 months. I stand corrected.

[@dinnerandashow]

Airsteams, terrible insulation. Bad idea lining the inside with aluminum. And it leaks during down pours. They really need to update their technology and design. What is nice is that the bathroom has a window. Stink and steam can vent out.

Damn that is a good looking woman!

We do.. we’ve been living in the AS since May

Unfortunately the worst background music I have ever heard, yeah, I get it, King Of The Road, distracted and annoyed me to where I found myself wishing I was in a dentist's chair instead of having to endure your otherwise very nice video. I made it through 53 seconds though!

So where do you get the time and money to travel the country in an R.V. and take fancy vacations and then live in one of the most expensive zip codes in the nation?
