Very curious about the insulation in walls??
I bought an old Airstream from a military surplus lot. It had been used by the Air Force at White Sands in the early 60’s for astronaut training, the astronaut trainees would rest in the trailer between sessions. The interior was like new, but all the interior parts, like the stove, fridge, toilet, tub, and such were in pink enamel. I paid $2k for it
Score!
How did you find it?
@@Tanya-bk7hf It was sitting on the lot at the surplus place with a “for sale” sign on it. My mom had bought 4 acres out in the middle of nowhere, and I thought the trailer would be a good place to stay while building a house.
@@twowheelsintokyo7039 I'm jealous
I would love a pink interior!
Dude, I've probably watched 200 camper vids/reviews/tours. You are hands down the most pro and well informed salesman I've ever seen. Awesome vid!
$67K YOU GOTTA BE OUTTA YOUR MIND
High, yes, but it will be around after you're gone.😅
You could live in it at a nice campground. Much cheaper than buying a house or renting for 3years.
@@theodorabruin4601Bullchit.
@@theodorabruin4601your nuts. Campgrounds have raised their prices so high that it would cost you 2k a month just in fees.
most camp grounds 10 day max stay @@theodorabruin4601
Dude really knows his product, true professional. Well done
He sells them too, so keep that in mind if you are in the market.
Very handsome guy too...@@colonialairstream
Yeah, so much so he's screwed alot of people.
Dude... He's a salesman! Looking for a sucker! $67 K, you have to be kidding.
@@thebusterdog921 just say you can't afford it
Patrick is the best RV saleman ever. He really knows the details of everyone that he shows.
I love this model but my bank account says I can't even afford food.
Right there with you! Growing more varieties in my raised beds.
Patrick, very well done. Almost made me sell one of my kidneys to purchase this Bambi.
I was thinking 1 or both gonads,since I don’t really need them at my age any more!
And then some 😂
Patrick is the most informative airstream demonstrator on the internet.
Goes into great detail .
He should be working for airstream
There's noone better! 🙌
He is.😂
$67000. That is nuts.
There’s no way that trailer is worth almost $79,000. That’s crazy
If you think that's crazy, price one of the larger trailers! Airstreams have always been high-priced.
67,000. Do you want quality or a piece of plywood ?
If you don't want it, don't buy one.,Debby drama.
Oh yeah...those babies aren't cheap, but worth the price!
Then don’t get one Miss Cheapskate!
This guy should get the salesman of the century award. Holy smokes.
Great
He’s done an amazing job with this tour, I really want one…
The smallest trailer. The highest price. Nice.
@@jasonfrodoman1316 Just like a Class B
I look at a lot of these small trailers, they are supposed to be the affordable option. Every time I look up the price, they’re $40k-$60k. Who are they affordable for? Not the average American middle class family these days.
And it will cost at least the same for a towing vehicle.
You can buy lots of older campers and tow capable trucks and SUV's for $5-$10k . This is a brand new luxury trailer in 2024. Yeah, it's for rich people, but not the only option to enjoy RVs and camping if you are on a budget.
@@tdgros88 most people that can afford a $60k trailer would likely buy something larger for that money. A $5k-$10k truck would cost you more in repairs and down time than if you just sent the money to buy a good tow vehicle.
@@TheGersh18 Definitely not true on the tow vehicle. I bought a 2004 Toyota Sequoia 4WD with 250k mi in 2019. It has about 280k miles now 5 years later, I've only spent about $3k in maintenance (new tires, AC repairs, replacing all the brakes and rotors, valve cover gaskets, rear trunk handle). The car is actually still worth $6,000 today. I have a 2018 21ft rear bath with slide out, I paid $18k for in 2022, but I was still able to find stuff way cheaper had I been on a budget. These air streams are quality built luxury items. I'm not saying I would buy one, they are for a niche market. The point is there are affordable options for people if you want them.
And most of the people that can afford these just spend their money on airfare and luxury hotel rooms.
I’ve been researching small travel trailers for awhile, and I’ve learned a lot. But this video reveals little things you need to know.
For (at least) the past four years, your tours have always the best on TH-cam, Patrick! Thanks and please keep up the great work!
Wow, thanks!
I have too agree. His level.of knowledge on each separate feature, component and accessory is outstanding. I am honestly, fully impressed.
I've been watching these videos for a while, as I will be in the market for a small rv this rough size soon (4 to 8 months).
This guy may have beaten out all the others I watch for his encyclopedic level of knowledge.
I agree. Very informative.
Q
Wow, you offer the most comprehensive walk through ever! Good job.
Thank you, and he sells them too. Please contact him if you are interested.
If I ever get a dream trailer, I will come to see you Patrick. You are a top 10 employee of Airstream
I know the price is ridiculous, but if I’m gonna buy one of these things one day, I wanna Patrick made all the money from me.
Loved airstreams all my life,just never been able to afford one! Great video tour!❤️
You can do it!
Get a used one!!😊
There are complaints about the cost of these trailers. I've spent years repairing, renovating and restoring sailboats. I live on a 50 year old boat and have for 35 years.
There is nothing cheap about putting everything needed for a comfortable life in a 16ft x 8ft space. The craftsmanship has to be precise without changing shape with movement. Everything has to be serviceable,repairable and cleanable.
Well said.
This isn't a one-off sailboat. This is (somewhat) mass produced in a factory. It doesn't require a shipwright to screw in cabinets/fixtures assembled on a bench.
We had airstream trailers as a kid. No doubt that are the Cadillac of RVs. But have to say the price is insane.
I would love to hear more about your experiences in the Airstream when you were young. Was it fun? Cozy? Easy to clean? Helped or hindered folks getting along? And so on. I’ve loved Airstreams (from a distance!) forever.
Airstream are known for making great trailers, but $67K for this small of a trailer is a bit steep even in today's ridiculous economy.
67k for a trailer that is built like a Cessna airplane that costs a million dollars isn't a bad deal. It's expensive, yes, so it's not for everyone. As far as prices, airstream prices have always been pretty consistent. The variations are due to material and labor costs which vary all the time.
Now, let's buy a good p/u, say $75k... 😁😁
Sounds like Ray Ramono
That🎉- is SO BEAUTIFUL❤!
Cute Bambi....paint it yellow....looks like a submarine😊 lots of efficiency in a small package.😊😊😊😊😊
Yay! ❤ It's an old-fashioned awning just like mine on my 1980s rig! No batteries are needed and it is so fast & easy to deploy. 😊
It's worth every cent.. easy to maneuver
Looks good and will ladt. Love the airstream. This accommodates 4 people!❤
@@elainerobertson7329 4 people who are small in stature and sound sleepers. For us? Two people.
Looks more like this trailer would be comfortable for ONE person.......and maybe his pet goldfish.
This is an awesome orientation for the Bambi. Your presenter is very thorough.
Glad you think so!
You are ABSOLUTELY THE BEST.
Salesman did a FANTASTIC job. I’d love to have one for myself…ONLY myself.. but it costs as much as a house…
What an amazing salesman. This man knows his product. I was ready to buy this RV and I already have one.
No doubt that Airstreams are built well. Very nice tour of the Bambi.
wow Patrick, always presenting us with extraordinary airstream with a high degree of comfort and refinement.Thank you
My pleasure!
Another great in-depth review Patrick✌🏽
Much appreciated!
I love airstream
It's absolutely insane that this little thing is 70 grand
Basically it's for rich people who want toys
It is worth every penny
@@Bangabalunga okay keep telling yourself that
@@joshbrown284 No problem. And you buy your leaky Jayco and pay more in depreciation than this thing.
@@Bangabalunga yeah that's a pretty typical comment from someone who thinks that this tiny little camper is worth $70,000
You have every right to express your feelings and I think you compliment Ryan quite well. Thank you both for trying to help those who have been given a challenging time in their life that perhaps ended in their passing.
I totally understand and agree with the turmoil of the earth at this time. It’s sad and scary.
Hang in there!
And prize is just absolutely UNREAL! 😱😵💫
Dude sounds like he just finished a tri athalon
Great, now that’s all I notice. 😂
Great job Patrick! You always do a great overview. Beautiful trailer.
Thanks Anne.
I love this little trailer.
Me to!
Patric great presentation and you deserve a raise.
Thanks.
Or 400+ nights at Hampton Inn. “There’s a sucker born every minute”- RV industry.
VG Host!! Nailed the selling points!! C A R E F U L L Y avoided the price tag!! AND @67K, I see why!! Litterally 10 years worth of motel rooms, even before tags,taxes, finance fees, interest, maintenance, storage, insurance, and only used two weeks outta 52. Bye-bye!!
Pretty nice 😊 ❤❤❤❤ small space with everything you need 😂😂😂!!!!
I watched the whole video, I think its so cute, have always liked airstream, but I'll take that money and put it into my house. if I want to travel, I can rent one of these, no maintenance, no storage issues, no depreciation, man he sure sounded like he was gasping for air.
This looks great like they thought of everthing!
I missed it. When did you take a breath? Nice review!
Now
I would buy one of these in a second
A Thor product. YIKES!
I love this little trailer, but the cost is just ridiculous. 20-25k, yes. 67k? Yeah, no.
And a very reasonable 285 thousand dollar price tag..... awesome!
Had one years ago...so pretty inside with green check...very country feeling.
Or, you can invest your $67K in a mutual fund, and peel off $10K every year and take a 2 week luxury vacation for the next 10 years, which is the life estimate of this glued together box.
Exactly! Why would anyone want to buy these pieces of junk, have all the maintenance, blow your entire vacation wsiting for repairs , even warranty work !! That’s right, when you need it cause it’s vacation time and the dealer says , leave it here we’ll eventually look into it.. you’ll be saying “but you said-…,” ya.. you basically bought it from a car salesman! lol . Be smart! Let the gullible prople with no clue how to invest money fall for and by these plastic and cardboard stapled pieces of crap. Stay in a hotel got your little amount of time you get … save your hard earned money ! They ain’t worth squat when you gotta sell it! Research that, you’ll find out
The small airstream looks good for European roads
Wow! You are very good!! You did such a thorough job highlighting all the amazing features of the camper, you got me wanting to run out and buy one TODAY! I have a Honda CRV and am told it can only tow 1500lbs. 😢Can you please tell airstream to make a “Mini Bambi” that weighs about 1200 lbs? PLEASE! If anyone can do it, it’s Airstream! 😀
I like your shirt ;)
Nice job Patrick ! I have a 1964 Airstream Bambi II California mod. My plans are do a Restomod similar to what you did on yours. I have a 1961 IH Scout 80 I will be doing a restomod on it to pull it.
Go for it.
And then he said $67k…..
“All this for only $45,900.”
HAHAHA! I was joking, and it’s WAY worse than that. $68,000. lol! That’s awesome
This is the second video I've watched of your videos I was looking forward to this video
Patrick's videos are always great, thorough and full of tips!
Glad you like them!
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Fantastic travel trailer🌷🌷
Thank you very much!
This all I need to live
Fantastic. Really outstanding.
Many thanks!
I could build a cargo-trailer conversion for 6K instead of burning 🔥 $67K.... 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly. Smart thinking. And that cargo trailer will last 10 times longer than that glued together pos.
@@thebusterdog921 💯
$60,000 and you have the cheapest roll top closures! And you need two hands to open & close ‘em.
67,000$ ridiculous!! What a joke!
Very nice and informative tour. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nicely done tour !
Thank you!
Great job Patrick!!
So if the solar panel and lithium battery is $1200 and you can buy both parts for $400, that give you an idea as to the markup.
I love how he pronounced small like smol. Like it's a tiny kitty.
Love it...except that a dollar must be worth about 15 cents now. Sixty years ago this would be under $7000. That means that I've almost nothing in the bank. Somebody "loan me a dime"!!!
Absolutely beautiful Bambi!!❤❤❤
There's fluid on the floor near the waste ports.
I was about to say I want one....then I saw the price. i could build similar for less on an empty trailer chassis. A lot less.
Love it! Cant afford it though… airstreams are so expensive perhaps one day…
Maybe one day!
Like your presentations in regular motion. You know what to say. Keep up the good work.
We offer both speeds.
Beautifully showcased!
Warranty/Follow Up/Repairs have been an issue in recent years. How are things on the quality control front going?
YOU'RE JUST PAYING FOR THE NAME!!!!!!
A “SALESperson” huh? lol ok. I’m here for it.
$64,700...madness. 40,000 I can see.
Good video - very interesting
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent tour, great job. $67k?!?! Uh, no
I know it is pricey, but I WANT ONE! 😊
I lived in one for five years, in legal weight lol. For people worried about their canned goods, you keep them in the truck ✅.
Good advice.
Great presentation, Patrick. I enjoyed the whole thing. I was huffing and puffing for you. Awesome job and I don't think you left anything out. Wish I could but one of them but not in the cards. Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your video. Don
If I ever get a travel trailer, I’m taking a trip to Colonial Airstream and ask for Patrick!
Please do, he makes his living selling the Airstreams.
Such a beautiful and well built trailer! Some day….. 🤞
Go for it
Super bitchin’ Bambi! You’re all time Patrick. TY
$65,000 oucl! and it's a NO at that crazy price. 0o
Put some food in the fridge and some canned goods in a cabinet. Fill those containers with some gear and bam your over weight. Cmon, “engineers” +1 axle or put a higher capacity axle in this. There’s no room for upgrading or adding a bike rack to the tongue. There’s a cost to all that aluminum I get it but man swing and a miss. Great review though, per usual with Patrick.
Gorgeous wish I could afford it
Thank you for a knowledgeable tour of the Bambi.....
i think you did a really nice review of the Bambi! Thank you!
My pleasure!
the smooollest
This guy's accent, man
Geee, i paid 1/5th the price for my camper and it has a electric awning and a superslide pop out. You should tell people to lube the axle as well. Many of them do not come lubed to keep moisture out.
Very nice...AND VERY EXPENSIVE...again...for the ones that have disposable income to flush ... cause that price aint for the working class.
Very nice! Thank you for the tour! ✌️☺️
My pleasure!!
