This is, without a doubt, the best walk-through video I've ever seen. Patrick is so knowledgeable and articulate, so watching his presentation is an absolute joy.
This is one of the best walkthroughs I have ever seen. You are so articulate and knowledgeable. You know what buyers are interested in. Great photography also.
Patrick, I forget how good you are with the airstream walk throughs. You have almost sold me one on more than one occasion and I already have a bus, a van and a pickup. I don’t fall for the typical sales push, but you don’t push. It sounds like I am sucking up but I don’t have any reason to. Decided I would say so, anyway because you know your fleet and you do a really good job. Thanks!!!
Hey Patrick, you should go to work for airstream producing their videos because they're so good and comprehensive. We love the trailer we bought from you last fall. Keep up the good work. Tom
To me it doesn't seem "little". I've not seen build quality like this and everything is smartly placed and extremely well thought-out. For the wrap-around windows alone it's pretty unique. The normal non rei one is 46K or 51 with X package
Look at you… I just watched the 1987 345 motorhome tour video from 7 years ago and you’re still there!! This is my favorite model, I don’t have one, but someday I will!!
Great informative video. Great host. I was cruising various sites for rv search. The top level of this video puts this dealer on my short list for sure. Really hope, if this dealer is chosen, this guy is still there.
I camped on a small lake near Lake Tahoe with friends. We were all in tents but my best friend brought his base camp and it was amazing having all the creature comforts. I just wish I had one😂
I'm seriously never interested in the exterior features... I usually fast forward or pay attention to something else. But I actually watched the entire exterior on this video. You did a really great job with presenting the basecamp 16x. Keep up the great work sir! 👍
I think Airstream should offer the big round glass roof option . I understand it would be costly option, but this has become a premium luxury collector toy.. and I love it
I have “REI”ed my interior. No plexidoors. Mesh with pockets on bungees for cabinet closures. Hooks added for gear. Thinking about the access to truma as shown. Great job Patrick!
@@colonialairstream what is the difference between the Basecamp and the Basecamp X? I see you have a 2018 Basecamp for $38k and the 2019 Basecamp X for $40k. What would be the difference? Thanks
hey man didn't you do the tiny homes and camper/van builds youtube channel??? edit: yeah the New Jersey Outdoor Adventures channel! Man you're living the dream!
If you vehicle has enough hitch weight allowance, payload, 7-way wiring harness and an aftermarket electric brake controller. it may be able to pull it.
Thanks for the detailed information. Just really a little too bare bones for the price, I think. I used to own a 32' Airstream in the '70's. Used from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico. Just spoiled now, I guess.
It’s not a problem, i have a bed like that on my boat, queen size fitted sheet set is perfect (this van might require king size) the elasticated bottom sheet works a treat for odd shapes… Another tip, I found the cushion gaps a bit annoying when sleeping so I got a thin mattress topper and cut it to size
That “bed” looks like it’s very unstable. The way you put it together looks weird. Your not weird (😂), the way the bed has to be assembled is. It just doesn’t look like it can hold a lot of weight. For instance, if a couple would buy this trailer, how much weight can the set up bed hold? I’m just asking out of curiosity. I’ve always liked airstream travel trailers, especially the largest ones. They are just so well made, I love all the floor plans. But all I can do is watch videos of them, because I would never able to afford one😢. Wishful thinking !😊
Bo matter what you purchase, there are always aftermarket items that can be purchased if you decide to. Just the phone you buy, many people buy a scree protector and a case.
Short lifespan. Appx 10 years and you throw them out and replace, no repairing them. From the axle mfg they tell you to remove the weight from them in storage too.
0:17 so.... its about 1 and half horses in weight and i have no fucking clue in size, thanks for the information something around some bodyparts in various colors.
I want one... Gotta buy a new truck though, my car won't tow 😢 Edit: let's reword this, I want one, BAD! I dreamed I was traveling in it last night! (REALLY) Awesome dream...
Carbon Monoxide detector is worthless where it’s placed, CO is less dense than air. It is recommended that they are to be placed 5 feet above the floor. The fire detector should be a combo fire and CO detector.
Having a combined tank can increase the overall capacity and efficiency of your RV's wastewater system. Which can be particularly advantageous for those planning to camp off-grid for an extended period.
@@colonialairstream There are a number of State parks I have camped in that only have one dump station but grey water stations next to the campsite which means one can empty grey water without moving the trailer. Also dump stations that take sewage are gross. You need to wear covers for your shoes or dedicate a pair of shoes for dumping. Cassette toilets are a much better concept for black waste.
Lots of people that are buying these are backpackers that want to upgrade their “Basecamp”. Backpackers are pretty good at working with 1-2 gallons of water per person per day, and others can easily learn. So a 20+ gallon combo tank is a luxury. You need the small amount of grey water you create to get that black tank sloshed and prepped for the dump station before you go back out to “rough it” in luxury. Perfect set up for the target audience, and with over 3 years of experience with the BC16X I speak from experience.

Thank you for the kind words, Thomas!
Unbelievable how little you get for 62k. So many amazing van builds that I'd rather have.
Airstream has a full range of campervans to choose from.

@@colonialairstream i can get a used tundra and get a a pop up camper and still be half the cost of this
@@iyot1020 let me know what happens when you forget the beer at the grocery store after you are all set up at the campsite.

Yes, since 1997.

Airstream is the luxury trailer of trailers. Kinda like Cadillac.
Absolutely.

The outside is just as important as the inside.
Perfect for a easy getaway weekend!!
It really is! Just pick up and go!
As always, the best Airstream reviews. Good job Ray Romano.
Glad you like them!
Ray Romano 😂
Love an Airstream !! Nice demonstration as well ! Ty
Thanks for watching!
Thank you everyone for tuning in! See more details of the model featured in this video here: www.colonialairstream.com/14291/
Wow, what a excellent showing, explained in detail video. Also, this is a really complete equipment for the size. 👏🏻
Glad you liked it!
I’ve watched so many demos and by far, this is the best one. I’m in Texas otherwise would buy from you.
Patrick has many customers from TX that purchase directly from him.
Your best tour yet Patrick. I would assume these will all sell out soon. Get them quick if you want one.
Appreciate the support.
Absolutely very cool very cool
Glad you like it.
Great video! Thanks ray romano.
No worries!
Well done, you are good and telling about the REI Basecamp. Nice RV. Thanks.
Our pleasure!
I would love to know what the target demographic is for a $62,000 16' trailer.
Visit us any time and you cam meet many of our happy customers.
@@colonialairstream a fool and money are soon parted.
I totally agree … apparently aluminum is the price of gold these days … lol . Zero bang for your buck in this case .
People only look at the monthly payment.
Young professionals who easily make $250k.
I think Airstream should offer the big round glass roof option . I understand it would be costly option, but this has become a premium luxury collector toy.. and I love it
Interesting
This makes my pop up more appealing.
Glad you are happy with what you have.
You do such a good job here. Beautiful trailer.
Thank you Todd.
Perfect presentation, thanks

Thanks Lawrence.
I truly love these airstream Basecamp’s. Beautiful.

$62,550 WOW! This type of budget would get me an awesome product from Randy Jones and Incredible Tiny Homes.
Apples and Oranges
Hi Patrick, I’m surprised that there is no option for a inverter? Is this something I could add ? Thanks
Yes, we install them aftermarket here.
Awesome walkthrough!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
If it was $40k I'd be looking at one. Like the layout and headroom.
We have used 2018's in the 40K range.
@@colonialairstream what is the difference between the Basecamp and the Basecamp X? I see you have a 2018 Basecamp for $38k and the 2019 Basecamp X for $40k. What would be the difference? Thanks
@@blarfneggs3728I’m going to guess the solar package is stronger in the newer one. Each year they get better, stronger and smaller.
For the price of this 16X, you can get the 2023 20X Basecamp, that gives you more interior space and a larger solar package as well.
They are closely priced however the20X is not offered in the REI and does not have 360W of Solar and lithium batteries.
i will deffenitly remember this you probably have a future customer
Great, I sell them too here at Colonial Airstream.
Awesome presentation
Appreciate it John.
Great stuff
Appreciate it Joshua.
It’s a nice little trailer, but $63,000.00!
Thanks for looking.
Can the grey and black tanks be combined into a larger grey tank if you opt for the composting toilet?
This has a combo grey/black tank. It is the same tank and tank size if you opt for the liquid separating toilet.
How much
Some how hair cut matches trailer ....nice
Planned
@@colonialairstream l o l
Can you fit a Vespa through that back door?
Great tour guide. Silly price.
Glad you enjoyed the tour.
hey man didn't you do the tiny homes and camper/van builds youtube channel???
edit: yeah the New Jersey Outdoor Adventures channel! Man you're living the dream!
Absolutely.
What level of Airstream gets dedicated shower?
a 19CB Bambi, or Larger and a19CB Caravel or larger.
thank you!@@colonialairstream
I know they have the Basecamp 20 but I'd love a little larger one (24 feet) to get a dry bath and designated bed with a bunk possibly.
Maybe one day.
That thing is awesome. I want one but I can’t afford it.. so sad..
Could a subaru outback wilderness pull it , 3500lbs ?
If you vehicle has enough hitch weight allowance, payload, 7-way wiring harness and an aftermarket electric brake controller. it may be able to pull it.
Can you pull with Jeep with 3,500 MAX?
unfortunately we would not recommend, because you would be pushing close to the vehicles limit.
Does anybody know how much these cost?
Currently on sale. www.colonialairstream.com/14292/
@@colonialairstream nice
Is this model available with a composting toilet ?
It can be ordered that way, so far Airstream hast received much interest in the composting toilets.
I know it's a small trailer, but I would want a real shower and a grown up toilet.
Airstream offers many different models and floor plans.
Nice!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for the detailed information. Just really a little too bare bones for the price, I think. I used to own a 32' Airstream in the '70's. Used from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico. Just spoiled now, I guess.
There are other Airstream models in the price range like that Bambi that are a little more plush.
Cool
Thanks.
Too expensive
A considerably better power system is Edison generator or battery powered dynamo powered electric motor.
Interesting.
Sixty three thousand dollars!!!???
$62,550.00 USD
No tv or radio?
Who needs TV or radio when you can enjoy the great outdoors and the beautiful scenery around you!
Hey Patrick do you have 2 TH-cam channels now?
Patrick has one. Patrick is n employee of Colonial Airstream and is featured in Colonial Airstream videos.
@@colonialairstream oh didn’t know he was an employee there. I know about his TH-cam channel.
HEY PATRICK! WHATS THAT BLACK DOOR WITH THE HANDLE?!
Where?
Great job on the tour but that floor plan really doesn’t seem practical to me. Can you even put sheets on that oddly shaped sleeping space??
Yes, owners of this model are able to have sheets on their beds.
It’s not a problem, i have a bed like that on my boat, queen size fitted sheet set is perfect (this van might require king size) the elasticated bottom sheet works a treat for odd shapes… Another tip, I found the cushion gaps a bit annoying when sleeping so I got a thin mattress topper and cut it to size
Literally just want this with a Electric car..... Or hope they add Function for electric car to also power those Trailers
Time will tell.

The bed is designed to hold two above average size humans.
@@colonialairstream ok thanks for commenting back, I appreciate that!😊
62 grand.....yikes...why do I watch these?
Thanks for looking
800lb carrying capacity. After water and gear, will anyone be able to be in the trailer?
You don't travel with people in the trailer....
Never travel with people inside the trailer.
He looks like He threw the baby out 😂😂🤦 19:40
Oops.
Why do they still use those goofy rivets?
What is a goofy rivet?
@@colonialairstream Hey I’m a big fan of Airstreams. I just think the rivets take away from its look
walmart tent 30 dollars
That would make a good add-on room.
62k??
There is a non REI edition that is lower priced.
I noticed there were a lot of, “you can also get” and “you can buy”. If I’m spending 64k I should have to spend a single penny on other tools.
Bo matter what you purchase, there are always aftermarket items that can be purchased if you decide to. Just the phone you buy, many people buy a scree protector and a case.
Patrick cookin rn? Ong?
Haha, Thanks for watching!
Why cant you run the AC, and electrical outlets off the solar?
It would need a 3000W inverter and at least 400amp hrs of lithium batteries. We offer those upgrades here at our store.
I would like you to show us 4 people laying down there.....
I have customers that have 4 of their kids sleep on the rear bed when its down.
How many steps to assemble the bed in my $62k micro trailer? 😂
But gain endless room for yourself, guests, pets, storage, etc... the name of the game is to utilize every inch for something purposeful.
Torsion axles: run. Personal experience.
Why?
Short lifespan. Appx 10 years and you throw them out and replace, no repairing them. From the axle mfg they tell you to remove the weight from them in storage too.
REI tie in absurd. Oh boy a bag of REI stuff for 60K.
The regular Basecamp 16 and Basecamp 16X are available too for less money.
I would be tired after setting up the sofa bed
That's okay, because it would be time for bed.
Toys for rich boys

If you are a retiree, absolutely. For the younger, more active demographic, the basecamp will win every time.........
I wouldn't put an age restriction on the Basecamp, It all comes down to personal use and what you plan to do with it.
@@colonialairstream mine never goes anywhere. Someone stopped by trying buy it
Insanely over priced just like everything at rei
Thanks for checking out the tour.
cost more then my house lol ill stick with a tent
Sounds good.
Beautiful.... but it seems all the things you need to make it more useful are ..... wait for it...... extra 😐
Like what?
Get a tent. It is cheaper
Carbon Monoxide detector is worthless where it’s placed, CO is less dense than air. It is recommended that they are to be placed 5 feet above the floor. The fire detector should be a combo fire and CO detector.
It is installed correctly as the manufacturer instructions.

In todays economy, not many people can afford this
That may be true for some, but there are always amazing deals you can find buying a pre-owned Airstream.
I fail to see the difference between that and a horse trailer with pillows.
Funny, Donald.
People could afford this camper have better things to do than go camping.
Like what?
Counting their money.
I bet that stainless steel would fry your hand on a warm sunny day
Airstreams are aluminum not stainless
Its aluminum and it does not get hotter than a fiberglass. trailer.
I’m 6’5” so that could be an issue
Yes, in most RV's.
I would never buy an RV with a combined grey water black water tank. Big mistake on Airstream’s part.
