Singularly the most complex and convoluted bed set up EVER. Every morning? Every night? No thanks.
A lot more effort than I’d like to set up the bed in the Airstream. For the prices they ask, you would think they’d have a more efficient setup
Take a look at the NuCamp TAB400
New project for David. Build a twenty foot camper that compares to the $60,000 base camp. I bet he can do it for less than $15,000.
Hi, Roman. My comment is: book the interview. So you don’t have customers around. Give some heads-up to the dealer so things do not become awkward. There are hundreds of channels dedicated to only the rv’ing world. The more time and space you have to shoot details and the more setting up of the shooting is “scripted” you’ll get an in-depth, calm and detailed review. In this trade, depth is the name of the game. My “group” is 250 people strong. We follow the specialists. You can become one of them. Just take it easy. Details are the key. Lots of ideas and knowledge are always welcome. Like the type of heating, the use of the various “smart fans” and their functions, stowage, sink depth, AC or heat pumps capabilities, energy consumption, solar capacity, inverters, undercarriage, interior materials, type of tanks, winterizing systems, spares, connections, connectivity, electrical systems, towing equipment, towing interface and so many other things we all-timers or first owners need to know. This goes with my kindest regards. And I mean it from the very first second. I interview people for a living for a couple of big media companies and it works.
Carlos, Roman says thanks for the great advice. We’d love to do it this way but the TH-cam business model does not support this type of journalism. This video will barely pay for the gas and time it took to drive to the RV show let alone pay for the videographer, his equipment ( an iPhone ) and the computer to edit the video on. We have to produce continuous video content to pay for the these type of walk around videos. There’s no giant media corporation to pay the bills. We literally eat what we shoot. 😉
"My lead time used to be months out now I can get them in 8 to 12 weeks."
Am I the only one that sees the 8 to 12 weeks is "months out"?
This poor salesman was nervous AF. I hope this isn't his usual gig.
@@dabradguy Right? Trys to justify the extra 90k by the fact its 5 feet longer and has VENEER interior bits... does he thing everyone is this stupid?
Always wanted one of the new base camps when they came back in 2016. You used to be able to get a slightly used one for around $20k, now you can’t find a used one for under $40k after covid…
Airstreams are awesome! For us the International was the sweet spot. We have a 2020 International 30RB twin. We live northwest of Chicago and have traveled to the east coast, down to Florida and as far west as Yellowstone. They tow fantastically well. We chose a 2020 Ram 2500 Limited MegaCab with the 6.4 Hemi, 4.10 rear end and air suspension as our tow vehicle. Absolute love our set up. Note: you do not NEED a diesel to tow anything that Airstream makes. And considering the price of diesel fuel nowadays a gasser makes more and more sense. Great video guys!!!
Air Stream are great for snow countries I’ve had my 1955 Bambi 16 footer and Inherited in the army 80”s I took all thru Baja MX and lived in it at Lake Tahoe for many winter seasons. Windy freezing outside but so so nice inside and Stijl use it as a run about👍
That's funny, because anyone I have ever talked to over the last 20 years with an airstream always pisses and moans when they get into cold weather because it takes 25 towels every day to dry up the condensation. I guess your experience is different though with that aluminum shell and those single pane windows.
Roman, TFL should consider going to the Airstream International Rally this June 24-30 in Rock Springs, WY. We attended the 2022 Rally in Fryeburg, ME where over 900 Airstreams showed up including a section of vintage trailers. Of course every trailer has a tow vehicle so you’ll get a chance ask how they like them. Last year the guy with a Semi-chassis and an Airstream grafted to the frame showed up. The Rock Springs Rally will be at the Sweetwater Event Complex and is already sold out! We won’t be able to make it unfortunately.
Key to being a good salesman is knowing your stuff. I hope he isn’t in sales
I rented a 16x to try out and it is pretty cool. The Truma is nice on cold mornings and the view while inside is great. The fit and finish compared to the price is so low that I feel airstream is a bad choice.
An Airstream out on the TFL ranch would be great. TFL could park inside the Morton Barn and do their shows from inside.
Waste of $. Redundancy galore. Maybe you are not aware they have an office in town. They have a house on the ranch. They have a NEW barn and pre-existing other garage/structures already on the ranch as well.
🇺🇸 Decades of driveway camping, storage monthly fees, and a 15yr note. Yes, your use it a few times at a Walmart lot. Reality Check!
Almost bought a Basecamp 16X version of these but went with a NuCamp T@B 400 Boondock instead. Better layout/usable space plus a dedicated bed and dinette in my opinion but once we upgrade we will be going to a larger Airstream likely a 27FB.
I have owned three Airstreams (to include two Basecamps and one limited edition International (Victrinox)), a Winnebago Revel (van) and a rooftop tent (on a 2020 Defender). I now own a Jeep and a good ground tent. IMO, the simpler, the better. The Jeep is plenty capable and requires a lot less (cheaper) maintenance; the tent leaks less and is also more cost-effective.
great idea Roman , what a disaster
Buy a Lance trailer. Just as well built, more room, less expensive(still expensive), way more storage, and it is not an icebox in the winter or an oven in the summer. I worked the last 2 and a half years maintaining a rental fleet and the Lance trailers held up better than all others. The Airstreams do tow well though.
Lance is a great trailer ! Have owned three and currently have a 27 ft. Trouble free on all I have had.
I went there yesterday and the best campers at the show are the T@b units, which are similarly “premium-priced.” I’d love a 320s or a Barefoot.
The T@B 320 would be my trailer of choice. The only issue that you have to be 5'9" or shorter to fit in the thing. A T@B 400 would fit taller people, but it's a little too large and awkward looking. I ended up with a basecamp......
I do wish I could pull an airstream with the Bronco. Was hoping that basecampX sneaked in at 3500 “snapping fingers”.
Thanks for all the campers though. Interesting and I gained a greater appreciation for airstream.
Awfully fidgety to setup the bed. At 61k, that’s a hard pass.
The bed set up is Horrible and this 🤡 that has this Ytube Channel asking Stupid ass Questions every 2 Seconds needs to Stop it
I agree with you the comment and none of us not milk to fill in up
@@matthewseanchapman6310????
Very complicated to assemble the bed. There are easier solutions on the market
The 20C Bambi is also $60k and has a front fixed bed with wrap around window, a better bath and kitchen, and the dinette converts to a second bed. That is the one I went with.
👏👏 Good job guys ..👏👏👏 CAMERA NINJA ALEX ....
Foreal feel bad for the guy especially with these two bouncy balls
I love this content!!!!!! Something small and scaled down
I’d like you guys to do a long term test of Ember RV overland units and No boundaries Beast mode off grid units.
Absolutely. I was at the show yesterday (saw TFL filming while I was there) and the biggest off road Ember RV was roughly the same price as that BaseCamp 20. It’s much better equipped and has an articulating suspension.
🇺🇸 Decades of driveway camping, storage monthly fees, and a 15yr note. Yes, your use it a few times at a Walmart lot. Reality Check!
He seemed more and more flustered as the video went on. Like he was psyching him self out for the next question.
Love the classic look of the Air Stream. For that price though I would be terrified to take it off road and bang it up. Also, the NOBOs are way more off road worthy for their size, with their beefier suspensions.
He was really nervous to be filmed.
@@nathanstenabaugh1290 I can fully understand that and respect that he still went through it all. Overall I was happy that he was there to explain and answer the questions coming at him.
I'm always intrigued by the basecamp models, but then you see what it takes to turn it into four beds. I'm always surprised by that. Plus the lack of family oriented designs with no bunk house type designs. I've been spending about the last year trying to find something that'd work for us, but giving tweens/teens a bit of room seems to be something lost since I was a kid (80s). Everything geared for just two people mostly. Also a lot of lack of solar/battery would have thought we were further along.
I have a 2023 Basecamp 20x and a couple comments. I could have given a better tour. Lol. The bed is a huge pain in the rear to setup so you will find most people just leave it made into a bed. We have started rolling up our foam mattress toward the rear hatch) yes you need it the cushions suck) and use the front table. My wife and I sleep side by side and the large bed is awesome. That rear hatch is a game changer. I pull it with a 1/2 ton Silverado and you don’t even know it’s back there. It has 300w of solar and I upgraded to lithium batteries. That REI version is the 16 version and they basically just added a bunch of crap on the inside and you get some outdoor accessories for a smaller trailer. I don’t think they are selling much of them. Are they expensive, yep. But Airstreams have awesome resale and the Basecamps are their entry trailer.
I really like this video. Maybe TFL campers
Would you consider doing a video on the Ember overland series please?....
Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
This guy hasn’t sold me anything. Back to practice and studying airstream metrics.
You’re basically just paying for the name more than saying you’re over paying for the quality.
A Rolex costs around $15,000 starting price, but the actual materials and labor to make it is around $600. But if folks are willing to over pay for a watch or a camper, go for it.
but is it light and aero enough for an ev to get good range? will there be a test trip?
I went into a 30' Air Stream and I am so glad I spent money on my 6 year old duel slide Forest River. Air Stream has nicer materials inside but it feel's very cramped. I also have outdoor kitchen we use every trip. Way more bang for the buck.
6:41 I read books. I’m currently reading “A Column of Fire”.
The bed would be a nightmare, and he didn't make it seem any better
Imagine spending a weekend off grid dealing with this every day
By the time he finished setting up he was out of breath
Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $10,000 investment every 14days.
It's all thanks to Mrs Linda Raschke, her trading strategies is the best I can think of now
I have heard alot about Mrs Linda Raschke and how good she is, please how safe are the profits, and how can i reach out to her?

If you want to hear a great an Airstream review listen to Patrick Botticelli of Colonial Airstream. Best reviewer out there.
Patrick knows his stuff ,,inside and out .
I need that!
Tails of Wanderlust TH-cam channel lived full time in a Basecamp 20X for several years towing with a 4Runner TRD Off Road.
Edit: I was corrected that it was a 16’ Basecamp X
That was a 16' basecamp featured on that channel...
@@Ryan-cv8sn I forgot the size. I do remember that she had to go several states away to get it. Thanks for the correction. I’ll go edit it.
Awesome coverage guys! Too bad the sales rep was woefully under equipped to answer your questions. Given the price of these trailers and years in the game i would have hoped for a much more refined layout/ setup. One would have hoped the off road series might have had more than just off road tyres and suspension. A plethora of off road caravans present in the market with set ups far more robust and provided available technical specs/ expectations. Seems like a very basic requirement overlooked, however like the entry models they can get better with reviews and feedback. Great video!
How about doing a video on the transit trail?
My family and I were at the show yesterday while you were filming. We’re in the background of a few shots.
While I like the Basecamps, the Ember RVs were definitely more off road oriented. I hope the TFL crew does a good long term review of the Ember. They’re pretty new and I’d like to know more about the build quality.
That said, the Airstream International you showed off was uber sweet.
As far as we viewers are concerned, you just wanted to be included in the video as unwanted extras. You just ruined the video.
@@noniluscious13 🤪🤪
If you want to take that airstream to Phoenix you gotta remember that it gets hot there I'm sure not now during the winter times but from what I herd in the summer it does. Another thing you gotta factor in is the bugs and all kinds of creatures in that area along with summer hot days and monsoon season too. And from my understanding location is another thing gotta know which is the best figure out where you want to be in the Phoenix area cause there some neighborhoods where it might good and some are just bad. I'm sure if you took that airstream your working in the industrial area in small town you have no problem and some of those towns like here in New Mexico have RV parks just depends on which town you stay in.
I live in Phoenix and the temperature here in the summer is routinely above 110 degrees.
@@anthonygianettino2557 ok yeah I herd it gets up to 120 degrees but I live in New Mexico it's okay here. A lot of times people don't know new Mexico exist some of them think it's made up or part of the Mexico which is not true and lot of times you have to explain to other people no New Mexico is part of the United States.
You heard it gets hot in Phoenix in the summer? 😂
@@pgo2372 it does hello idk what's your point of being sarcastic about it!!
7:56 I think it would good towed by the AMG 4x4^2.
bed setup could be simplified ..looks cool tho..
There’s a lot of people that still read books Roman.
20:15 Nevermind showering… I don’t want to poop where I eat.
People are so rude. They even got inside the base camp while they were shooting the video. They couldn’t wait for the presentation to be over. So much impatience.
That salesman didn’t know nearly enough about Airstreams, or why they are truly different in material and craftsmanship. Poor job of explaining the premium commanded.
Great This Airstream lock to Jeep Rubicon 392 and go to fishing, or...
My area is flooded with these for sale on the used market post-COVID
Where’s that?
Airstreams are nice, but the prices are way too inflated.
One more thing, be sure and use 30 fps multiples. There are some visual artifacts that cause nausea on the pans.
Love how he gets all nervous when you point out the fact that its only 5 feet longer for 90k more... and tries to justify the price with the veneer interior... LMAO...
Roman get a Basecamp 20x as long term tester!
This poor guy....so many questions...he did great
That’s what I said if Roman just asked can we do an interview with no Prep just let the guy talk but also the rep didn’t know basic shit like weights
5:16 This is quite the process…
I wonder if you can upgrade the suspension on the Caravel….
You can put a 3” lift on any Airstream torsion axle
WOW AIRSTREAM, THIS IS INFURIATING TO WATCH!!!!
Imagine that a rv sales person who barely knows their product
Those Airstream interiors look like something from a european camper from the 70s.
Poor guy had no chance 😂
I'd be curious if the Ranger could tow the 6000 lb gross Airstream. With a 7500 lb towing it should be able to handle it unless the trailer is just too wide.
Stopping is the problem and controlling it in a crosswind
I know a Ranger owner moving to a Canyon after towing a small 20’ Airstream
I would think it can. I’ll report back after I take delivery of my 5k lb unit with my 4Runner. I hope to get a more robust tow vehicle soon; but at this time only have the 4Runner. If you check the Airstream TH-cam…, they have a Porsche Macan…, or maybe a Cayenne, going through a slalom course with an Airstream. It’s damn impressive!
BRING ENOUGH TRUCK 😊
Great video, you would think people would see the camera and give you some space for a minute. Geez.
Come on dude. Everyone knows that Airstreams are built in the Buckeye State. Only junk gets built in Indiana. NuCamps are also built in Ohio about a haul hour from me. They are also extremely well built. Best thing about this showing was the kool Pink Floyd music in the background.
Love the airstream coverage, too bad you couldn’t find a different rep to demonstrate the trailers. Not only did he have a hard time answering simple questions, I thought that first bed set up was going to take half the video. 🤦🏻♂️ Still, great coverage guys!! I like the travel trailer videos too!
All true, but I cut him some slack since he did mention it was a family company, and one of the things they tend to lack are those people specially trained to be their spokesman. They're a lot smoother with their delivery than uncle Bob.
The only thing more ridiculous than the $61k price is the lack of salesperson knowledge. Common questions, no curveballs, but struck out looking. Yikes.
Advantage of Airstream is that they look great parked on your property when not in use. Plus you can use as office space, etc. when on your property.
I’ve owned several campers in the last 40 years and although I appreciate the attention to detail; having owned one, I just can’t see the price point. I actually feel there are a few more brands out there with same(some better) quality but at a much lower price point. Of course I also understand the prestige of the name that comes with it.
PS: should be used as “soft” off roader.
i am a limey and would be too scared to get a stone chip or dent etc..
What brands would you recommend?
@@michaelcochran8611 you could start with Escape’s or Intec, also Hymer((not sure spelled right).
Airstream’s product life cycle is more than the measly ten years of other cookie cutter trailers. I looked at a comparable $40k trailer…, but at a ten year life cycle…; I opted for a $64k Airstream with a the durability of a lifetime. When you look at it in this way…, it becomes an easy choice and a better value.
60k for that???
P.T. Barnum: There's a sucker born every minute.
The "quality" goes to shut the squeaky bathroom door 😂
Meh. I think the design of the T@B Outback has a better interior layout and design, especially where the bed is concerned. May not have as durable construction, though. I think the Cricket does a better job of meeting the concept this one is designed to achieve.
Lol that was just painful to watch. Just awkward the whole time 😂
By the time you set up that bed, she wouldn’t be in the mood anymore!
Airstream is almost a religion for some people. They have groups that travel for months together., which is nice because many of the groups have people that will be last and help any breakdowns. The Airstreams also have numbers and there is a group that are constantly striving for the lowest number older rig. I have seen multiple Airstream groups in RV parks in Airstreams that also had the upside down pineapple so google that to see if you want to party with them. Nice video Roman and Alex. Shows how far behind the RV segment is from the Yacht segment for top of the line.
Main question do you have financing? Lol
Q: “How much does it weigh?”
A: “4300 lbs.”
Q: “Is that dry or wet?”
A: “That’s wet. That’s fully loaded.”
!BZZZT! wrong answer. When Alex zoomed in you can clearly see that 4300 lbs is DRY WEIGHT. Then add hundreds of pounds on top of that for water, propane, food, dishes, clothes, gear, etc. 5,000 lbs at least.
Nice representative, but it drives me crazy when they don't know their products. Cool trailer and thanks for the camper videos TFL
That was tough to watch
Okay kids now if you study real hard and get a good paying job, you too can live in a van down by the river!
I'm going to call that pandemic pricing.
🇺🇸 Decades of driveway camping, storage monthly fees, and a 15yr note. Yes, your use it a few times at a Walmart lot. Reality Check!
The people at that show were ridiculous…they couldn’t wait until filming was done before barging into the trailer…that was the most irritating video to watch and it wasnt because TFL and Roman did a bad job…😂🤷🏻♂️…you guys should go back to the dealer and film some walk through videos. That would be cool.
“I hope you are really a good editor” 😂 Nope, they don’t edit at all!
Love the channel but the salesman was just unprepared. Glad I was not there to buy an Airstream that day, it was painful to watch.
Set up process is so awkward
So, I was not the only one in cringe mode watching that 1st segment. lol All those people crawling in and around them waiting for that set up demonstration to take place to someone that will never buy 1.
FS Road trailers but not off-road
This guy must be the wash boy at the back of the dealership. No knowledge at all
Airstream bombed in Australia they were looked at as a sort of oddity nowhere as capable as the local products
Yea but I heard your camping trailers are all upside down?!?
@@SunnynPhilly No were are the right way up, your upside down to us.Most Caravans in Australia use Aluminium cladding( impregnated color) with a composite core. In the 1950- 1960' there used to be Caravans similar to Airstreams but not that popular
@@SunnynPhilly RVing here is going through the roof. I estimate 200 Caravan Manufacturers, close to 30 Motorhome manufactuers and convertors. You want it you can find soneone here who will make it for you
60k to spend 10 minutes setting up a bed? no thank you.
60k is a new truck.
An "off-road" trailer should not come with a standard ball hitch. All they did is put a lift on a trailer that's really only suited for pavement and well maintained dirt roads. No off grid A/C means you'll need a nasty generator in the summer, and putting that bed together every night--what a pain. I doubt this thing is built to really handle anything that could be remotely called off road, except a dirt road to the closes in camping sites. Much more rugged trailers available with better bed setups for the money.
I rented the 16x of this. Limited to well maintained dirt roads, unless you don’t mind really babying each rock
Australian caravans are so much better, especially the offroaders.
They have to be. 99% of the country is a desert wasteland.
Amazing how poorly this salesperson showed the Basecamp. The bed is quick when you know what you’re doing. He has no clue of the demographics which range for the off road folks he mentioned to regular RVers like us who wanted the quality, the ability to bring kayaks and mountain bikes and easily tow and store. Oh and a king sized bed.
This looked like a pain in the ass.
I thought he did a good job
Buy a tent
Not a portable city
That bed design seems absolutely horrible....you have to literally move everything to get to the bed.
Poor guy that was painful to watch
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Sorry TFL…I couldn’t go 3 min into this video because of the sales representative alone. It was cringe
Not campers the average joe can afford. Airstreams ridiculous to insure.
