@@christucker7688 thanks for watching. I guess that’s why there’s so many different flavors.

@@wallstbull1 that’s great! There’s nothing quite like making something your own. Stay tuned I’ve got more coming. But I am curious, what projects have you done to your Basecamp that were the most rewarding? And thanks for watching.

@@mojimx1116 thanks Miguel. My Basecamp weighs about 4000 pounds with all the gear and everything in it. I pull it with a BMW X5 it has a towing capacity of 7200 pounds. And it does just fine. Excellent. I’ll have a video coming up on that shortly. Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words.

@@mikestone9839 Thanks for watching and for the comment. What do you like? Best about your Airstream Basecamp?

@@StreamDreamin I've got a 2019 Basecamp 16X and I'm with you on the black out curtains... I do sometimes want to sleep during the day and they work great. I've taken it into some tight spots that other trailers would not have gone without damage done to them. I love the Truma Combi furnace / hot water heater. The fact that you can run it on electric without water is great. Very versatile. The back hatch is convenient, I've used it for hauling my bike before I added a hitch reciever and a bike rack. The other thing I like is the AC unit 9600 BTU unit will work with a 2000 or 2200 watt generator without an easystart. I did not like the solar charger they had in it, so I replaced it and then later on installed a couple of Battleborn 100AH heated batteries. Because of the size of the batteries I gave up some storage space under the sink area for the batteries and a 2200 WATT inverter. I really like the counter space of the kitchen area. To help with ventilation at night, I made a screen that fits in the bathroom hatch for the shower head to go outside. Having that open with the screen in place the the main exhaust fan hatch open with out the fan running allows a nice flow of air to come through.

@@scotturner3178 thanks for watching and for the comment. I agree completely.

If you can deal with 20” longer trailer you can get twin 80” beds on the Sol Dusk

@@Bruce-da-Roamer thanks for watching and for the comment. There’s a lot to like about the Intech Sol. The Airstream Basecamp though is in a class by itself.

That's a valid question. I reached out to the manufacturer on Thursday--prior to your question posing--but the tech guy hasn't gotten back to me yet. I will follow up with an additional response next week. In the meantime, I did used this method all winter last year without any issues. Yes, it could be a series of happy coincidences. Which is why I reached out to the manufacturer but my sense is the water pump is mounted on a slope which sets it up to drain naturally once the line is clear. More to follow.

@@tonylinkous7940 I don’t have anything that big. But I know a couple of guys who use the Anderson hitch on their Airstream Classics. And they fit that class you’re talking about. Thanks for watching.

@@TwelveFeetTravels Thanks for watching and for the comment. Stay tuned there’s a lot more to come.

@@OverNoobin the cut out for the Dometic is actually smaller than the cutout for the suburban. It’s easy enough to pull out the suburban and see if you can square the corners up. best of luck. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

@@DonFarmer-hq5sw thanks for watching and for the comment. Stay tuned there’s a lot more to come.

Thanks for watching and for the comment. I'm not looking for a fight, but I don't think that's good advice. The factory install did not use either and prior doing this video I checked with several qualified sources, none of which recommended either. In fact, just the opposite. Here's a synopsis: When using a flared fitting on a copper LP gas line, you should not use pipe dope or silicone tape. Flared fittings create a seal by the mechanical compression of the fitting, which presses the flared end of the copper tubing against the fitting, forming a tight, gas-proof seal. Adding pipe dope or silicone tape could interfere with this sealing process and potentially cause a leak. Just ensure that the flared fitting is clean, properly aligned, and tightened according to the manufacturer's specifications.

@@Erin-Thor I had that experience with the 16 foot Basecamp. Not so much with the 20 foot Basecamp. Thanks for lunching

@@StreamDreamin - Good to know! Wait, we had lunch? 😳

@@diggermolly5927 I don’t know anything about a 4 inch lift. And I don’t get paid by Airstream or even TH-cam frankly but thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video.

I totally agree with you in many ways ! but I dont beleive this gent is up to that game... Just has a passion for his neat camper 💪

Come on. That's way too generic to be of any value. If you've got a legitimate grip, let's hear it. But be specific.

@@jenniferking8846 would you send me a photo of what you did? You can reach me on Instagram at Shawns_Utah_adventure.

They aren't what they used to be, but nothing is. In some ways they are so much better. I have to say, the bones are good. It's that final 2% that modern manufactures seem to struggle with. Thanks for watching.

Thor industries bought Airstream. So now Airstream is very overpriced Thor junk. Everything Thor touches is junk. This is very overpriced junk

@@teda0071 I will never buy a Thor product did once been there done that especially now when the industry is struggling....the Airstream name means little these days

Thanks for that! Wow. Not sure how that happened or how to correct it. I'll figure it out. And, yes, I did install the cooktop myself. Should have a video on that shortly. Thanks again.

@@roberttodd8889 thanks again. I was able to edit the video and end it where it should’ve ended. I really appreciate you taking the time to point that out.

@@VHangout fortunately, it’s a relatively easy fix. Don’t let that stove dissuade you from purchasing and otherwise truly wonderful travel trailer. Instead, make it part of the negotiation. Have the dealer switch it out for you.

Think of how well you could build a cargo trailer conversion for a fraction of the cost with all high-end amentities ! Just a consideration... The airstream is beautiful but it also screams "break into me..." I want to be a slow-profile as possible...

@@StreamDreaminagree!!!

@@nealjohnson1461 thanks for watching! And for the kind words.

Thanks for watching. I didn't receive the email but after reading your comment, I checked my account and the contact email was incorrect. I made the requisite change. Please try emailing me again. I'll be happy to respond.

@@StreamDreamin Will do

Unfortunately the change has not gone through yet (still the same email). Are you on other socials so that I can DM you there?

@@RolandWoldt yes. Instagram Shawns_Utah_adventure

@@StreamDreamin 👍

Cool. Thanks. Glad to hear it. I did that test at 4,700' but I have a trip planned that will put me about 9,000 above sea level. I'll do a video of that for sure. All the best.

That’s a good point. Thanks for taking time to comment. My Basecamp 20X is a 2022 model. The Truma system has a drain lever on the inside and as I recall, it’s a little bit hidden and easily missed. Thanks for watching!

@@PhilTiemeier it’s unfortunate. You had such a negative experience with your Airstream . I’ve had a much better experience with mine. there is a lot to admire about the Intech line of trailers. Thanks for watching. I hope you have many great adventures going forward.

@@Mike-tr5eb glad you liked it. It it has worked very well for me. If you haven’t already subscribed, please do there’s a lot more to come. Thanks for watching.

PS. GO UTES! 🙌🏽

@@rmsanche thanks for your kind words. And thanks for wanting!

Go Cougars!

Just curious about using air, the Truma manual specifically states not to blow out with air when winterising?

@@MichaelHoulden you can close the hot water heater bypass valve. It’s the same valve you would close if you were filling your system with antifreeze. With that valve closed no air will enter the hot water heater. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching. If you haven’t already, please subscribe there’s a lot more to come.

@@skipj3940 I have. They are very expensive for what they cover. If you were considering one, make sure you understand exactly what it covers and what it doesn’t cover and what exclusions it has.. Sometimes they cover an item only under certain circumstances and excluded for the most common issues. Be thorough.

@@darrencollins1940 you are most welcome and congratulations. I hope your Basecamp serves you well. I’m sure it will. I have thoroughly enjoyed mine.

@@Florida_Adventure Thanks for watching. I hope you find the right trailer for you.

@@shanwar9844 96 degrees outside. Got down to 75 inside before I had to leave and pack it up.

@@Bruce-da-Roamer Thanks for watching. I don’t think I used much. Less than 1/4 tank. I’ll do fuel economy test and report the results in another video. I too am curious to know how long a tank will last.

@@wallstbull1 thanks for watching! And for the comment. Make sure you subscribe.

@@wallstbull1 what hitch system are you using? Thanks

You saw my generator in the back! So, I did test it--very briefly. I started the fan on low, then high, then kicked on the AC. It really stressed the generator but the generator did recover. I will do a video on this soon. Thanks for watching.

@@StreamDreamin sounds good, I can’t find a straight answer on size. I have a 3000 Honda, but it’s way too heavy and wanna go lighter.

@@stephenc2738 thanks for the feedback. And thanks for watching.

@@toolonthehill Thanks for watching, the most common issues are a leaky back door seal, the water heater not heating the water. The best advice I can give you is to test everything. Make the sellers show you how it works works and actually experience it.

@@StreamDreamin thanks going soon to do a walk through. Thanks for the help!

Happy to help!

In my case I put it close to the battery. If you look closely at about 7:00-8:15 on the video you'll see the black tube on the red wire. That's the fuse holder. You could also splice it in closer to the jack if you prefer. I chose to put it in the battery compartment to keep it out of the weather. That's just personal preference. Thanks for the question and for watching. There's a lot more to come.
