We love our Winnebago Travato 2021KL with twin beds and a lithium package large enough to run anything. Auto start recharges the lithium when needed. No separate generator needed.
First off, congrats on a very well done video. I am a Solis 59PX owner, and in so many ways you have 1-up'd Winnebago, beautiful fit and finish just like I would expect from Airstream. However, there is one major flaw where you completely missed the mark and just don't understand your target market well enough and that is using a black tank, rather than a Cassette toilet. Buyers of the Rangeline are not the same as Atlas owners who jump from RV park to RV park. A cassette is an absolute necessity. Most Class B owners park their Van right in their own driveway and you don't understand how convenient it is to be able to dump your cassette right into your own house toilet, or into a latrine in a state park, or a public toilet or porta-potty at a beach or a marina, or almost anywhere. Some places charge $30 just to dump your stupid black tank! This isn't a luxury diesel pusher, rather Rangeline buyers will be camping in all kinds of places, like off-the-grid boondocking, Harvest Host sites, National Parks, etc. Black tanks suck, unless all you do is camp at comfy RV parks with the diesel pushers and class A/C rigs and you can dump for free. Plus the smaller blank tank size in the Rangeline means you have to find a place to dump more often. What a compete pain in the A**. I've owned everything from a Berkshire Diesel pusher, a class C, a Hurricane Class A, to a GeoPro trailer. Class B owners want a cassette, period. I predict if you don't offer a cassette option on the Rangeline you will cut your market by 50%. I certainly won't considering upgrading my Solis to a Rangeline until you do. If you had offered a Cassette option or better yet, standard, I would seriously consider the upgrade. If you added the following, I would be completely sold: #1: Cassette Toilet #2: Lithium Batteries that could run the A/C (look at the 2023 Revel) #3: Reasonable Solar Panels (maybe 300-350 Watts) #4: Adaptive Cruise Control Beautiful rig though
I would have serously considered this if it had a real Lithium package like Volta or Lithionics, 2nd alternator, and absolutely No Generator. Should have also been on a Ford Transit AWD chassis. Othewise, very nice interior, great layout, and fantastic job keeping it stealth (but try to get a lower profile A/C or Cruise N Comfort in v 2.0)
The power system of this Rangeline is the most desirable to me. Those huge battery packages seems nice on the paper, but you do not pay the big money for good use. Moreover, batteries are consumable goods. When they need to be replaced, it would be a big pain. On the other hand, the noise of the ultra quiet Onan generator is not objectionable at all. And you don’t need to use it most of the time. For these considerations, I just canceled my order for a Winnebago Boldt, which comes with a 12,800 watts lithium battery package and have set my eyes on the Pleasure Way Lexor TS. This new boy on the block from Airstream seems very attractive to me, too. Even better than Lexor, by adding just 70 amp of the lithium battery, Rangeline is entirety propaneless. This is indeed a very attractive motorhome. I only hope Airsteam will offer a rear lounge/sofa bed floor plan with this power system.
i drove one of these big problem is that is not a dully you have to keep that in mind less stable when all that weight is added surprisingly it a 3500 and its not a dullay and that V6 engine screams on light grades
In order to monetize your channel TH-cam now forces people to do a ton of useless stuff to make their videos longer. You need 4K hours to monetize. It’s ridiculous.
Is this really what you thought was important enough to point out? Everyone, we have reached peak comfort as a society if this is what we’re complaining about now.
So much to like here - I just wish Airstream used the Ford Transit platform instead (and then maybe a Transit Trail upgrade option). Love the passenger seats with anchors, LP delete, lithium plus generator, digital controls, great cabinet organization, etc.
Great floor plans, seats look great. I’m 6 foot and do the seats go back a lot . Always had a hard time reclining or stretching my legs on very long trips.
Yeah, especially in winter. With the weight of the engine above it, it's less likely to get stuck in snowy, slippery situations (source: I own a FWD Mazda
Heating from the gas tank is a great idea and is the main reason why I would consider this van as my next RV. The only problem for me with this Ridgeline is a generator, I cannot imagine how a decent person can use it and make all people around at a campground hate you. Is it possible to replace it with a large Li-Ion battery pack like on Travato GL / KL? I also agree with the previous comment: cassette toilet would be by far much better
Nice addition. Would love to see (1) option for sandblasted front and underbody, (2) option for composting toilet, replacing black tank with another freshwater tank, and (3) option for solar panels.
Very well done honest video. You have certainly addressed and solved the shortcomings of the competition such as the Solis. Great to have an affordable nice size lithium system standard and totally eliminate LP. Right sized tanks and a usable bathroom. Great design overall, best floor plan out there.
The interior design is absolutely gorgeous. Every bit of it. Better than Pottery Barn. Now please do something beautiful and new with the Atlas, and beef-up the solar/lithium (perhaps Volta system) and I will be ready to order the Atlas or whatever new B+ you come up with.
You all at Airstream like always are leading the quality RV! Super glad that you start offering pop tops. Just wish you offered the sofa/bed version on the rear as well for option layout.
Love it!!!!! Love that there are no obvious cut outs. On the exterior, would love to see an option for a trim piece on the awning like on the interstate or an awning delete. Great design - making me consider updating from 2006 Interstate
I'm a solis 59p owner with a pop top and rear sofa bed. This looks like a much better coach and I think you guys did a great job. I will trade it in tomorrow for this if it had one more seat belt. I have three kids plus my wife so need 5 seats. My son sleeps on a luno mattress in the front and sits on the rear sofa while driving. Hopefully you guys come out with something with more seating as I love what you did. Perhaps a smart seat that can clip in to the L tracks
Not a fan of the old 'Silver Bullet Airstream', but they may have a contender with this one. Looks like a perfect camper (a little pricey tho), other 'get around town' daily/weekly family uses, too and love all the technology and 'getting the most out of every space' engineering! RAM has a 'BEV' in their relatively near future ... geared now to address Amazon's delivery requirements first ... and if Airstream picks up on that chassis/platform/electric 'Coach' they'll quickly become a 'Class B' leader.
I just watched a TH-cam video of this rv. It left me feeling a little disappointed but now after watching your video, I’m really liking this. You showed me the shower vent, not seen on that other video. Important item for close quarters lol. I was also glad to hear you talk about air bags. I’ve watched a lot of videos on all the products out there and nobody mentioned airbags. I’m widow shopping at the moment. I would love to own one of these.
I absolutely love this! Sounds like you listened to what the vanlife community has been saying. Thank you so much for considering our furry companions! It makes a huge difference to us. I love that you didn't add a TV, well done! I do wish you made the microwave an option. Such a waste of valuable space for me as I don't use them. But overall a great addition to the van life community options. This is a breath of fresh air as I didn't like your other options on the Mercedes.
So many great features,one complaint,the drawers have no dovetails ,the wood work could be nicer in the main kitchen area,also you loose a lot of extra space with the dinette area ,the option to turn it sideways would be far better ! Love the bed arrangement that provides extra storage .
What an impressive debut! This is well thought out and will allow folding Ebike internal storage. I was ready to abandon Class B, and goB+ or C. But I want easy parking access to the city, etc; like Urban Cowboy Scott of #GoSmallLiveLarge. Airstream Rangeline now tops my list.
I certainly do appreciate and applaud Airstream’s launch of what appears to be a more aesthetically upscale Travato,. I currently find Coachmen’s Nova (admittedly, more expensive) providing a more compelling feature set. I watched the informative video and researched all of the feature areas (except the brochure download) Please correct me if I’m mistaken on specification differences vs Nova: * NEW Truma Aventa 13.5K BTU A/C (3 Speeds, Dehumidifier and Night Mode) * Solid hardwood cabinetry (Not found on Pro Master competition) * Rockwool R-15 insulation (Best insulated of any Pro Master) * Imported European dual pane acrylic windows with solar reflective exterior pull-downs * Fresh tank and black tank above floor to protect water lines * Fiberglass shower (seamless) * 7.3 Cu Ft. Nova Kool refrigerator * Sumo Spring front and rear suspension * Roof rack with ladder * Shower Miser Water Saver * Q-Foam in sofas, jumpseat and twin beds OPTIONAL EQUIP * Kozy Wrap® upgraded insulation * Li3 Lithium Battery System includes: 630 amp-hour lithium battery with internal heater, Bluetooth battery management system and remote LCD display, second under hood alternator with multi-stage voltage regulator, Xantrex XC Pro 3000W inverter/charger with Bluetooth XC Remote, Xantrex Echo-charge (Charges chassis battery while plugged into shore power). Onan Generator not included with Li3 Lithium Battery option. * Driver and passenger upgraded seat recovers * Tank heater for grey tank * Upgraded Firestone tires with black rims
I love that Nova too but the biggest feature for me on this Rangeline is the raised bed and cargo below. It’s a must have as far as I’m concerned. All these low beds in the B category is baffling. So much wasted space.
I know for the future it would be cool to have a bed upfront where the table or the driving position. Kind of wasted space up there, but maybe in the future another bed
Very appealing. The manual awning does feel a little cheap - an electric with a manual override and key would have given the impression of luxury. Interesting how one small thing can create suspicion on overall quality.
Agreed somewhat..however.... the raised surface under murphy bed in Solis is really hard to navigate, stepping up and down, I have tried it and did not work for me, this one is flat through out.
Checked it out at colonial airstream. Love the simplicity. Please no Volta. Keep the back tank. The battery/ generator combo is perfect for me. Those that want all that can spend 200 k on a travato.I am sold I will be ordering very soon.
They should have added the table at passenger seat to go Down so that when van is on move it’s not in the way and passengers can stretch legs a bit by throwing a cushion on it. Also a bench kind of thing at the kitchen counter so it can be used as computer desk when not cooking
Still can't believe psa group are still supplying the old styling around the headlights to the US. In EU that was 'face-lifted' years ago. Must be before 2016 at least. Such a shame for US Market as it now looks so dated.
did you mean larger fridge than the extra drawer? Fridge is sitting above the drawer and that drawer can me removed to make way for bigger fridge. I agree with that.
Great RV, however, missing Adaptive Cruise Control and all the safety features that nowadays come with other cars, PLEASE consider getting fully loaded Chassis from Promaster.
@@dougmanck4149 I actually had checked their spec sheet, no mention of adaptive cruise control, I don't think you were looking at the right page. Also, look at their videos and look at their steering wheel, there is no adpative button. Make sure you are looking at the "Rangeline" model.
Agreed. Heck I’d take the Transit over a Sorinter too! Less expensive to purchase and maintain. Dealers in every town, more powerful. No expensive diesel to buy and service. As to the Promaster: it has a very low rear axle. Plus this running boards will get hung up too easily. Plus I don’t trust their reliability. Don’t see the van life set spending the bucks on this anyway, but it’s nice that AS is offering a choice. BTW we have been Airstream trailer owners (28’) for 12 years.
@@lefauxpas Yes I'm really very surprised that Airstream would partner with RAM Promaster on this one, with (all due) respect to Promaster but the Ford Transit chassis is just better all around in many ways! We have a 2016 Airstream 26U twin, absolutely love it!
Very nice build. Would that Airstream would adapt some of these innovations to the travel trailers, eg: Lizard Skin insulation, fewer external penetrations, positive latching cabinets,…
Current AS owner. 2019 FC 25 RBT. Not my cup of tea but this looks like a very nice unit. FWD and efficient 3.6 V6 power makes for an easier upfit platform. Using regular gas to power everything is great idea. How many gallons gas tank? The front-end styling on the ProMaster Van has always been kind of an ugly duckling. Blacking out the front bumper/cover helps. Black/Grey tank included is major benefit. After all the upfitting how much cargo capacity is there? Rated to tow how much? 3500 LB hitch does not mean it can TOW 3500 LBS. Maybe small utility trailer? Does factory dash radio/stereo have SiriusXM capability? Hope Airstream does well with this model. Of course, price is important. MSRP? Like to see the company do well.
I'm looking at the headroom. His head is almost touching the roof and he doesn't look to be very tall. Looks too crowded inside. Notice when he's standing in the aisle he has to stand on an angle.
Okay, how are you handling the fact that 0nnan (and yes I know I misspelled that) has been taking the install of their generators out of conversion companies hands causing performance problems so they can make more money on repairs.
@@Airstream-Inc One still photo of only the upper bunk? A video segment showing how the pop top raises/lowers would have been nice. Also nice would be video showing showing the host and how it looks inside with the top, so the viewer can get an idea of how much headroom there is. Seems like you’d want to highlight the additional benefits of this very nice upgrade.
@@kirbykracklemusic Sure did. It can be swiveled in several different positions. Whether needed as a tabletop for the front passenger seat or additional countertop space in the galley, it easily swings around and also tucks away.
There is! The generator and heating and hot water system are fueled from a line installed above the quarter tank level of the gasoline tank preventing them from causing the tank to be depleted. If the gasoline falls below the 1/4 full level, the generator will not receive fuel and will not start.
Jumping on the Solis bandwagon.... things you missed....Cassette toilet, a bigger more upscale sink, ...the engineers still haven't figured out the wasted space right side of the bed, the bed does not look as good as the Solis, and should have had a 12 volt AC
Don' love he blackwater toilet. Wish they'd gone with the cassette....actually a deal-breaker for me. Solar would have been a nice addition also. They should also take a cue or two from hymer.
seperate hob is a strange one, requires room to store it but frees the counter. i think id prefer a fixed one. can still use the counter with a flush fitted hob and induction doesnt get hot. considering people use chopping boards anyway it seems like a nobrainer. also who wants a power lead on display while cooking. only benefit is you ca take the hob outside, but wasnt the only external plug on the wrong side of the van!! dont realy see the point in that rear layout. too high to use it for anything except sleep leaving only the front seats to lounge in. good for bike storage but why not make it a fixed bed with a nice backrest and a window

Buy a PP and you'll be all set.
My thoughts exactly! I was otherwise sold!
This guy is spot on! Airstream did so much right. But missing this one thing will cut into sales.
@@dougmanck4149 What is a PP?
Yes sir, you are correct and I also think they should ditch the generator for a full lithium ion set up.
I would have loved to see more on the pop top option, but this is a great coach.
You can get a closer look at the pop-top on our website --> www.airstream.com/touring-coaches/rangeline/gallery/
So fabulous to see the internal fresh water tank for winter camping, well done, Airstream!
So that it leaks isn’t an issue for you?
Plumbing needs ground clearance. Great innovative ideas.
I would have serously considered this if it had a real Lithium package like Volta or Lithionics, 2nd alternator, and absolutely No Generator. Should have also been on a Ford Transit AWD chassis. Othewise, very nice interior, great layout, and fantastic job keeping it stealth (but try to get a lower profile A/C or Cruise N Comfort in v 2.0)

I feel like i wanna live in this van compare to a regular house or apartment. I can go anywhere i want. I need this in near future!
Reviews should always start INSIDE! The outside is not what sells an RV, it's the inside!
Jump right inside at 15:01
In order to monetize your channel TH-cam now forces people to do a ton of useless stuff to make their videos longer. You need 4K hours to monetize. It’s ridiculous.
I like to see the outside especially how to dump. Want to make sure I don’t have to seat on the ground to get to the black/gray valves
Is this really what you thought was important enough to point out? Everyone, we have reached peak comfort as a society if this is what we’re complaining about now.
@@ChopperChad sorry you're offended by the truth. Maybe a therapy puppy in a safe room would help you out. Try the SPCA.

Airstream thought of everything! A perfect and luxurious home away from home or for weekend trips 🚍♥️
Heating from the gas tank is a great idea and is the main reason why I would consider this van as my next RV.
The only problem for me with this Ridgeline is a generator, I cannot imagine how a decent person can use it and make all people around at a campground hate you. Is it possible to replace it with a large Li-Ion battery pack like on Travato GL / KL?
I also agree with the previous comment: cassette toilet would be by far much better
I agree.
Also, when they don't answer the possible customer, I will never buy one from them.
Why would you use the generator if you're plugged into shore power?
Nice addition. Would love to see (1) option for sandblasted front and underbody, (2) option for composting toilet, replacing black tank with another freshwater tank, and (3) option for solar panels.
Thanks and great feedback!
Very well done honest video. You have certainly addressed and solved the shortcomings of the competition such as the Solis. Great to have an affordable nice size lithium system standard and totally eliminate LP. Right sized tanks and a usable bathroom. Great design overall, best floor plan out there.
Thanks, Doug!
The interior design is absolutely gorgeous. Every bit of it. Better than Pottery Barn. Now please do something beautiful and new with the Atlas, and beef-up the solar/lithium (perhaps Volta system) and I will be ready to order the Atlas or whatever new B+ you come up with.
Finally! America is catching up to european RV's cant wait the progression. More seats more berths.
Would love it if they made it with rear bath and twin beds.
You all at Airstream like always are leading the quality RV! Super glad that you start offering pop tops. Just wish you offered the sofa/bed version on the rear as well for option layout.

I used your website build feature and sent it to dealer in OK City… love it. With pop top.
Love to hear that 🙌🏼Can't wait to have you join the Airstream family, James!
Dream van. I wish I could afford it!
I certainly do appreciate and applaud Airstream’s launch of what appears to be a more aesthetically upscale Travato,.
I currently find Coachmen’s Nova (admittedly, more expensive) providing a more compelling feature set.
I watched the informative video and researched all of the feature areas (except the brochure download)
Please correct me if I’m mistaken on specification differences vs Nova:
* NEW Truma Aventa 13.5K BTU A/C (3 Speeds, Dehumidifier and Night Mode)
* Solid hardwood cabinetry (Not found on Pro Master competition)
* Rockwool R-15 insulation (Best insulated of any Pro Master)
* Imported European dual pane acrylic windows with solar reflective exterior pull-downs
* Fresh tank and black tank above floor to protect water lines
* Fiberglass shower (seamless)
* 7.3 Cu Ft. Nova Kool refrigerator
* Sumo Spring front and rear suspension
* Roof rack with ladder
* Shower Miser Water Saver
* Q-Foam in sofas, jumpseat and twin beds
OPTIONAL EQUIP
* Kozy Wrap® upgraded insulation
* Li3 Lithium Battery System includes: 630 amp-hour lithium battery with internal heater, Bluetooth battery management system and remote LCD display, second under hood alternator with multi-stage voltage regulator, Xantrex XC Pro 3000W inverter/charger with Bluetooth XC Remote, Xantrex Echo-charge (Charges chassis battery while plugged into shore power). Onan Generator not included with Li3 Lithium Battery option.
* Driver and passenger upgraded seat recovers

* Upgraded Firestone tires with black rims
I love that Nova too but the biggest feature for me on this Rangeline is the raised bed and cargo below. It’s a must have as far as I’m concerned. All these low beds in the B category is baffling. So much wasted space.
Hope Airstream will add the rest sofa bed option for added seating for larger group to go on road-trip.
This Van should be named…….The JK I WANT IT
I know for the future it would be cool to have a bed upfront where the table or the driving position. Kind of wasted space up there, but maybe in the future another bed
Is there an area on the outside down below by the black tank valve to store the hose to empty it, or how does that fit into the build? Thanks!
Very appealing. The manual awning does feel a little cheap - an electric with a manual override and key would have given the impression of luxury. Interesting how one small thing can create suspicion on overall quality.
I agree w/the 1 comment show the inside 1st not to much changes with the outside, hook ups & to drain or fill up
Layout is just like the Solis. But, I do see some improvements. Very nice!
Agreed somewhat..however.... the raised surface under murphy bed in Solis is really hard to navigate, stepping up and down, I have tried it and did not work for me, this one is flat through out.
Are there floorplan with twin beds
I am interested but only if you put in a large Volta lithium system and remove the generator
Enough power on battery and solar power to get rid of generator I’m game…and use AC on that system.
This is awesome😎🤘
Would like to see the pop up inside and that bed being put in place. Looks as if you have to completely make it every day.
More photos of the pop-top can be seen on our website --> www.airstream.com/touring-coaches/rangeline/gallery/
Checked it out at colonial airstream. Love the simplicity. Please no Volta. Keep the back tank. The battery/ generator combo is perfect for me. Those that want all that can spend 200 k on a travato.I am sold I will be ordering very soon.
Thanks for watching and thank you for the positive feedback, Nancy! Can't wait to have you join the Airstream family.
I like it, but I wish it had more solar and was less reliant on gas. Maybe when gas prices drop.
They should have added the table at passenger seat to go Down so that when van is on move it’s not in the way and passengers can stretch legs a bit by throwing a cushion on it. Also a bench kind of thing at the kitchen counter so it can be used as computer desk when not cooking
Still can't believe psa group are still supplying the old styling around the headlights to the US. In EU that was 'face-lifted' years ago. Must be before 2016 at least. Such a shame for US Market as it now looks so dated.
It will be redesigned in 2023 from what I’m hearing.
Will you have other floor plans? I would rather have a larger fridge than the extra seats.
did you mean larger fridge than the extra drawer? Fridge is sitting above the drawer and that drawer can me removed to make way for bigger fridge. I agree with that.
4x4 only way! All others bull!😊
Why didn't you show us how easy to put down the bed? Did you take an hour to do it? Overall, it's a nice van.
Does this has 360 cameras? Also it would be nice to have option to get rid of seats and table behind driver seat and use the space as dry bathroom.
Airstream designers got brains compared to others. I love no gas stove no propane tank etc., junk. I hate cassette toilets.
Why this reminder me so much about the paronamic?
Brilliant
Why would you show a black unit. You can see anything you are talking about in the doors.
What is the MSRP on this van that you are showing right now thank you
Say what you want, but Ram does nice steering wheels

Yes like the Ford Transit!
Who told you it didn't have all these features? At least look at their website.

Agreed. Heck I’d take the Transit over a Sorinter too! Less expensive to purchase and maintain. Dealers in every town, more powerful. No expensive diesel to buy and service. As to the Promaster: it has a very low rear axle. Plus this running boards will get hung up too easily. Plus I don’t trust their reliability. Don’t see the van life set spending the bucks on this anyway, but it’s nice that AS is offering a choice. BTW we have been Airstream trailer owners (28’) for 12 years.
@@lefauxpas Yes I'm really very surprised that Airstream would partner with RAM Promaster on this one, with (all due) respect to Promaster but the Ford Transit chassis is just better all around in many ways! We have a 2016 Airstream 26U twin, absolutely love it!
Good question
You can't get Ford's. 18 months wait list.
@@michelleblanc4334 even for companies looking to buy Ford vehicles in bulks over time?
Very nice build. Would that Airstream would adapt some of these innovations to the travel trailers, eg: Lizard Skin insulation, fewer external penetrations, positive latching cabinets,…
Current AS owner. 2019 FC 25 RBT. Not my cup of tea but this looks like a very nice unit. FWD and efficient 3.6 V6 power makes for an easier upfit platform. Using regular gas to power everything is great idea. How many gallons gas tank? The front-end styling on the ProMaster Van has always been kind of an ugly duckling. Blacking out the front bumper/cover helps. Black/Grey tank included is major benefit. After all the upfitting how much cargo capacity is there? Rated to tow how much? 3500 LB hitch does not mean it can TOW 3500 LBS. Maybe small utility trailer? Does factory dash radio/stereo have SiriusXM capability? Hope Airstream does well with this model. Of course, price is important. MSRP? Like to see the company do well.
I'm looking at the headroom. His head is almost touching the roof and he doesn't look to be very tall. Looks too crowded inside. Notice when he's standing in the aisle he has to stand on an angle.
He should have showed more with the pop-top.
Can you cook with the induction cooktop off of the inverter power?
My question is is there a blackout screen for the sliding door? Is there an option or a place for an extra battery?
Don't like the raised floor - trip hazard. The sink is too small. Presenter should never mention other manufacturers of vans.
Just wondering why it’s not a V8 engine or higher pulling all the weight. And is there a lift option for over landing?
We looked at a Rangeline yesterday. I noticed the cabinetry was misaligned. Given AS's reputation for quality, is there a plan to address this issue?
Okay, how are you handling the fact that 0nnan (and yes I know I misspelled that) has been taking the install of their generators out of conversion companies hands causing performance problems so they can make more money on repairs.
Ok ❤
Looks like a Iveco Ducato
The generator hanging 6 inches from the ground below the rear axle is a big Oof guys.
So nice 👍🥰
You published a 40 minute video with no interior shots of the pop top? 🤦🏻♂️
See inside the pop-top here --> www.airstream.com/touring-coaches/rangeline/gallery/
@@Airstream-Inc One still photo of only the upper bunk? A video segment showing how the pop top raises/lowers would have been nice. Also nice would be video showing showing the host and how it looks inside with the top, so the viewer can get an idea of how much headroom there is. Seems like you’d want to highlight the additional benefits of this very nice upgrade.
Best 👍
Does it have all the safety features available on ProMaster? I couldn't find any information on lane keep assist.
Does this come in different lengths? Like the 118 or 136?
Does airstream build on the 118 platform? I want a 18ft van.
Does the bathroom have a sink? Refrigerator is small. That guy would hit his head every time he uses the bathroom especially at night
Can the table be moved to make room for car seats, etc.?
Yes! The table can be completely removed to fit car seats.
@@Airstream-Inc Awesome! Did I see as well that it can be moved forward and backward on a track or something?
@@kirbykracklemusic Sure did. It can be swiveled in several different positions. Whether needed as a tabletop for the front passenger seat or additional countertop space in the galley, it easily swings around and also tucks away.
Are the back passenger seatbelts 3point belts anchored to the frame?
Is there a safeguard to keep generator from draining gas tank? It would suck to run out of gas while camping.
There is! The generator and heating and hot water system are fueled from a line installed above the quarter tank level of the gasoline tank preventing them from causing the tank to be depleted. If the gasoline falls below the 1/4 full level, the generator will not receive fuel and will not start.
What is the width and length of the garage under the bed?
Very in depth video. The wet bath..sink, cabinet or something to keep toothbrush, shampoo, towel rack etc? Are the specs listed somewhere?
Here's the link to the Rangeline Specifications --> www.airstream.com/touring-coaches/rangeline/specifications/
@@Airstream-Inc Thank you I searched but wasn’t able to find it
Jumping on the Solis bandwagon.... things you missed....Cassette toilet, a bigger more upscale sink, ...the engineers still haven't figured out the wasted space right side of the bed, the bed does not look as good as the Solis, and should have had a 12 volt AC
Don' love he blackwater toilet. Wish they'd gone with the cassette....actually a deal-breaker for me. Solar would have been a nice addition also. They should also take a cue or two from hymer.
I was wondering the same thing is there an option for lithium battery power? Probably can't have the pop up top and lithium batteries?
A 270 Ah deep cycle lithium (LiFePO4) battery is included and the pop-top is optional. You can definitely have both!
@@Airstream-Inc Thanks
Price is like some kind of dirty secret to people that make thse kinds of videos.
seperate hob is a strange one, requires room to store it but frees the counter. i think id prefer a fixed one. can still use the counter with a flush fitted hob and induction doesnt get hot. considering people use chopping boards anyway it seems like a nobrainer. also who wants a power lead on display while cooking. only benefit is you ca take the hob outside, but wasnt the only external plug on the wrong side of the van!! dont realy see the point in that rear layout. too high to use it for anything except sleep leaving only the front seats to lounge in. good for bike storage but why not make it a fixed bed with a nice backrest and a window
No LP gas is good. I travel with two ebikes … I like manual awning.
The outside steps are too low.
How much?
If it’s new how do I buy it empty?
