The all-new 2022 Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB | Full Walk Through Tour

[@bobstone1741]

This gentleman should do a KZbin channel just explaining how complex products work. I have seen no one speak so clearly, so quickly, without without useless chat. I hope Airstream of DFW realizes the gem they have. Not everyone can do this. GREAT JOB

[@cindymurphy3359]

Agree

[@voges1001]

I wanna see him explain how magnets work

[@raoulberret3024]

I fully agree…

[@MrSnorff]

I found the way he talked kind of annoying and condescending. We all perceive things differently i guess.

This guy is The Man at explaining things... most all other videos have a person who says extraneous b.s. that is a waste of time, but NOT this guy... to the point, no b.s., and knows what he's talking about.

[@GeorgeMcKinley.]

This guy is the most awesome salesman, I’m not even in the market for a trailer I just enjoy listening to how knowledgeable and honest this man is.

[@dethray1000]

he could also work for santa claus as one of his elfs

[@natepolitics1490]

I been looking at rv channels for years now and this man in 10 mins have given me more important information than all of the videos I have watched. I had to stop the video to write this. This man needs his own channel and needs to run for president.

[@terrytytula]

Rub a white candle on the window gasket to stop if from sticking, works like a charm, and no mess.

[@andyjwagner]

If I were Airstream, I’d use the video to make a list of product improvements. He describes every tiny nuisance with perfect clarity.

[@huwkelvinmorgan3575]

for the money i want it perfect well almost

[@gregb7595]

I noticed that as well. Described one problem after another. Power breakers, problems with window seals, bad tasting water, melted doors, insects, on and on. My god!

[@pupwizard3888]

I agree. The number of little problems this model has is disturbing. It is surprising Airstream hasn't fixed these

[@lovelessm]

I've watched several videos from this guy and he gives the most comprehensive and informative walkthrough of any dealer I've watched (and I watch a lot of these types of videos).

[@ronminator420]

I would keep his video just as a backup reference to make sure I don’t forget anything to do while traveling and maintaining maintenance on this trailer, such a valuable video.

[@Ginswim]

So refreshing to learn about a trailer from a knowledgeable and straightforward person. This gentleman was a pleasure to listen to and knows his merchandise. Thank you!

[@joestuffhawkis]

I LOVE the good, the bad, and the ugly style of description and instruction. Everything has pluses and minuses, and I GREATLY appreciate the honesty. I would gladly buy from this man.

[@kevinsmith5318]

Excellant tour!

[@Avedis-G]

Absolutely LOVE your straight forward approach and no nonsense style! Thanks 🙏

[@dukeallen432]

No gods. Your on your own. Be okay.

[@southnjz3]

Love the refrigerator but where is the microwave?

[@danandtab7463]

Someone else said it, but that process of getting the awning out looks excruciating! I'm specifically talking about that part where you use the long tool to loosen at the beginning step. I do really like the detail in describing how to use all these components and the possible pitfalls with each. That said, very cool trailer.

[@markhaynes4386]

I was thinking the same thing about the awning. I wonder why they don't have a better system

[@EvilUrgency]

@@markhaynes4386 I watch RV videos all the time (researching my future purchase) and I've never seen an awning system so badly engineered. Every other RV/trailer has a powered awning with a sensor to auto retract in winds. With this system by the time you get the awning retracted the gusty winds will be in the next state over.

[@district51_rc]

My $18k Jayco had an electric awning…. 😮

[@mleslie4327]

If I can add a testament to how well Chris Walters explains it all in these videos, I have severe ADHD and can hardly sit through some of those 6 second videos we have these days. I watched this video end to end!! Well done, and I'm totally in love with this trailer!!

[@AirstreamofDFW]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Erin-Thor]

Pantry: “I do recommend that you put the heavy stuff on the bottom, it’s going to fall there anyway so…” LOL! An honest man is hard to find. 🤣 Edit. You might want to also mention that people who spend a lot of time on a laptop that that table being adjustable height can make all the difference in the world as it can be lowered an inch or so for a better typing height. Sounds minor, but it can make all the difference in the world!

[@garyabrams218]

Best presentation yet .Good photography , sound, and flow of information. I like this model size.

[@AirstreamofDFW]

Thank you!

One of the best PDI presentations I've seen.

[@stephenbabine3325]

Reminds me of military trainers (no nonsense and succinct). Yes, it can rub one the wrong way but he certainly knows his stuff.

[@wjohnhill]

Outstanding explanation of all the features and appliances of the Flying Cloud 23FB. We are waiting for the delivery of our unit, and found this technical walk-through to be most helpful. I'll use it to create a pre-flight checklist to use for setup and teardown at the campsite. Thanks!

[@AirstreamofDFW]

That's great to hear! Glad we could help out - happy travels!

[@EvilUrgency]

Based on this video I hope you have two days to set up and tear down every time you want to move this thing.

[@takwira]

What a great walk through.

[@mrsjanhannah]

Well, how not to sell a product. If the,re are so many nuances and potentially fault should they be sorted before sales.

[@jasonups5386]

Great video

[@RaMultiArt]

Great jop i love it

[@monicawilson896]

I like that you tell what to do AND what Not to do

[@chicagolc7022]

All the people saying what a great salesman this guy is are blowing my mind. When you’re attempting to sell something you do not tell prospective buyers every little thing that can go wrong. I love RVs. I grew up vacationing in them every summer and his presentation makes me run in the opposite direction. The number of times he says something might “shatter” is staggering. His specific pointing out of how flimsy the awning is is comical. When you’re trying to sell something barely big enough to turn around in that probably approaches $40,000 this is NOT the guy you want on the front lines. He needs to be in the shop working on all the flimsy things when they actually break. If this is who you have on your sales floor I do not understand how you’re in business. Apologies for the brutal honesty, but good lord. You need it.

[@patsysmith2956]

As everyone has noticed, this man is straight forward and honest. He's not a used car salesman. I find his honestly refreshing. He knows his product inside and out.

[@AirstreamofDFW]

He's not a sales person. This video is meant for technical and educational purposes. I think the millions of views he receives speaks for itself.

[@llwood78]

Weird question but why would the black tank be 100% full in the dealership?

[@Florida_Man_Robb]

Haha , I was wondering the same? Maybe they fill with fresh water to do a leak test before the buyer takes delivery or something?

[@dmacdc8447]

What a bummer of a demo!!

[@rickyburton4642]

After seeing and hearing the sales person / technician, I’m ready to buy one just because of him! 😃👍👍

[@johnford5568]

Around 7:50, makes sense to fill black tank full and let gravity rinse, add back water and the chemical and in-between dumps it will scour the walls when towing, you'll have the cleanest tank in the campground.

[@davidepicca8813]

Exactly the way it should be done !!!!

Can Airstreems but run on solely electricity instead of propane? And can they be hooked up to traditional sewage?

[@ClosingtheGapSISLMS]

Is that a sway control bar? If so, what kind is it? Thx!

[@BillUtah]

It’s a Hensley hitch. $$$$$

[@aaronchandler2380]

will the stabilizers keep the trailer from rolling?

[@mazor13]

serious question to anyone who has a lot of experience with different brands and of course Airstream. It is a question of something I really appreciate from these walkthroughs. Do most brands have so many "Hey if this does this you could damage this so watch out"? I respect the clear guidance. For myself this is perfectly acceptable especially due to the clear information given. Just a lone weekend fishing camper this is a dream. But wife/kids and friends I'd be on edge.

[@fabeiontatum205]

i still want a airstream camper

[@Lamtitude]

I know Airstreams are supposed to be higher quality, but man, they seem like they are lacking every single standard amenity that most modern campers offer. That awing seems like it would be useless unless it was perfect weather.

[@sisken12]

Why are the airstream awnings not automatic?

[@VogtRVWorld]

Some of the larger Airstreams have power anwings, such as the Classic. Smaller Airstreams have manual awnings. In general, manual awning are less likely to break or fail. Fewer moving parts.

[@JB-ys8mj]

This is a Flying Cloud model. The Globetrotter and above have a power awning.

[@jamesyao9199]

Why there is no porthole window on the washroom’s door on this model instead of it has on the floor plan pic from official website!

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Nice RV. MAybe one day.

[@curtisbuckhout6955]

I think I would prefer the hot water heater on the opposite side from the awning? Little kids could easily get burned by that? Maybe not?

[@yeahright3733]

That canopy retraction is awkward and difficult. Is that the best they can do for how much they charge for these? They are not cheap so that is unacceptable.

[@fabeiontatum205]

God is my friend god is my friend

[@bertveldhuizen8699]

I would like to see more of that extended weight distributing hitch setup.

[@Nico-rw1uo]

This particular vehicle or camping module, according to me needs a little training at least for half of a day for a novice to understand it, and to grow sick with the user manual, but this Gentleman in a 30mins video had explained it all, till the servicing,. Anyway nice product but, what kind of vehicle is it required to tow it???

[@almoemason]

Damn this trailer is complicated to operate. Are they all this complicated?

-You spend 3 full minutes zoomed in on just the dometic controller -You don't show the bedroom until the last 45 seconds of a 30 min+ video -I still don't know what the shower looks like

Its too big for me, but I like how this guy gets down to business. We need more of that, chatty patty is overrated 🤣🤣

[@oleksandrakimov9776]

Thanks

[@vonheise]

He is thorough; however, I am underwhelmed that such a high-end camper can have so much manual equipment on it. You can buy equal or less expensive quality campers that are much more user friendly. Besides the manual jacks and awning, why would you want the low-pressure propane connector on the back side of the camper? In the wind, I can pull my awning in to about 4' from the inside to keep my lawn chairs covered a bit and tolerate the wind well. Even the toilet is low end. (This might be a budget model as I am not an Air Stream expert.)

[@dukeallen432]

More automation the more failures. Analog always beats a computer chip.

[@vonheise]

@@dukeallen432 No computer chips, electric motors do the work. Why get out a drill when the motor can be in the jack, same with the awning. The truth is, it costs less to make everything manual, and that is sad in an expensive camper. No way would I buy a new one, but like the earlier models which are the same but a lot less money. I am 76 and have owned various forms of campers for 60 years having upsized when we had kids, and downsized in old age, and I stand my my original comment, not chips where there are none needed, only controls which may, but likely do not have any chips.

[@Just_me_by_myself]

I might like to buy this trailer, but I don't own one. Show me trailer then if I buy one, you can tell me how. Just show the trailer so we can buy it.

[@THEEnfantTerrible]

This is the very first video I’ve ever watched from AS DFW and I don’t know if this guy is a salesman, a service manager, or whatever but I absolutely love that he isn’t just trying to blow unicorns and rainbows up our asses. He points out where the weak points are and where consumers screw up. I’d follow him around a lot and trust what he has to say.

[@BillUtah]

Surprised that the dump valves are easy to freeze. Doesn’t look like a late season trailer.

[@jerrymiller3320]

That video was very good and informative..except I want the twin bed version. I don't recall you telling us the weight. Would a Ford F 150 with the 2.7 ecoboost tow it?
