I think Thor did the math. 30 @ 345K = $10.3mm. There are a lot of people that have disposable cash so and with the right customer it will get sold. Not for everyone but they only need to sell 30. Not my cup of tea. We have the BC20X.
It's crazy that Airstream has not learned from the success of the Revel. A happijac bed with bench seating underneath would have been a win. Instead, they release this mess of a layout for double the price.
Yeah, a 2000watt audio system is definitely what I want the guy next to me to have in a nice quiet forest road. Meh, who am I kidding? Whoever buys this will never take it on any kind of trail.
Feature Suggestions: 1. Freezer Unit!!! Suggest Replacement With Off-The-Shelf Cooler/Freezer A/C-DC Unit For Dual Power Food Safety. Not Having A Freezer In A 32K Volt Inverter-Equipped System Makes No Sense! 2. Replace Speaker System With Bottom Bed Option Or Seats And Larger Table. Keep Sound Group As An Option! 3. Replace Manual Awning With Power Awnings With Auto-Wrap-Around-Feature. (This Should Already Be Engineered On A $345K All-Terrain Van, Especially An Airstream!) 4. Replace Microwave With High-End Convection-Microwave For Traditional Baking And Cooking As Desired. This Isn’t Expensive And Off-The-Shelf Options Abound! 5. Cold Weather Package With Heated Plumbing And Heated Floor Options Should Be Available, Including A Heated Shower Floor! 6. Vented Washer/Dryer Unit Option, Mounted On L-Track As A Pull-Out Unit Under Awning For Ease Of Doing Laundry! SUMMARY: A Good First Attempt At An All Terrain Camper Van. Studying Current All-Terrain Models Should Yield Better Options Availability. Also Ask Current All-Terrain Camper Van Owners What They Like To See And What They’ve Done To Customize Their Vans. Looking Forward To A More-Than-Thirty(30) Production Run. Finally: Lower Price Threshold To $80-$120K. Increase Production If Market Warrants.
I would have preferred The Mercedes- AMG GT 63, powered by a handcrafted AMG 4.0-liter V8 biturbo that produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft peak torque. The 4 cylinder doesnt have the towing capacity. For $345k you would want it to have at least a 10,000 lb towing capacity. I get why they chose the 2.0 L (offset weight) but my guess is anyone who spends $345K can afford the extra 4 cylinders.
Who is this for? E1 package for boondocking, but a black water tank? Gotta pack a transfer tank or a cassette toilet too. 100k more than its competition and way worse in utility.
Good thing they only made 30. Well made? I'm sure it is. Airstream is known for quality but...this looks like something that would appeal to the 30 or 30 somethings. You know, the kids who DON'T have the money to buy it. Sure it's fun to play with these designs, but those of us who would actually be your demographic, prefer classic Airstream elegance. Get real.
My favorite part of this video is at 6:49 when Patrick talks about the benefits of the power door not slamming and disturbing other campers at night. Probably not an issue when you're blasting 2,000 watts of "Mega Death" out of the four speakers and sub woofer...
4 cyl twin turbo turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, and it's the most powerful series-production four-cylinder in the world. It makes 416 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque
Good heavens the red accents make it look way too tacky as does those speakers and sub. Why not just get a portable Bluetooth speaker for $200 and reclaim the space taken by sub and speakers. The wrap does not cost $20K
They have tried waaaaayyyy toooooo hard to look cool - and basically just demonstrated that they have officially lost touch with the people who might actually consider a 19x - this is horrible ...just my 2 cents
This has to be a joke, oh wait, you get to spend the evening at the dealership??? I’m gonna buy a custom 30ft trailer and a top of the line truck for less🤦🏼♂️
I think there is a typo in the title of this video. Shouldn't it be called the "Outlandish Edition" ? Airstream has no idea on how to design an Adventure Van, they just need to stop.
Makes absolutely no sense at all. The bed takes up the whole van, unless you slide it out and expose the mattress to the elements? Airstream has completely lost the plot.
U don't like this floorplan !! It all weight limits and that cargo area is stupid it takes up all the space and I hate those loftpull down or pull out beds !! I would rather get this with a traditional interstate floorplan cuz that would be better for me !! I hate hate hate hate when class b's has those tracks all over cuz it take away from other stuff I would rather have and those huge out of place speakers are ridiculous yall don't need those that big
For $345K, you're telling me that LITTLE Dometic is all you get for staying off grid FOR DAYS?! NO- SORRY. There should be a larger dedicated fridge. Even , I , who would probably be the demographic this van aesthetic is appealing to - see those speakers as a huge NOPE!!! Ugly ass Florida wakeboard speakers.
Did you say $345k!!!! jaw drop!!!
He said it quickly though 😅
I had to rewind it as well 😂😂
No kidding. The price is just outlandish for what you get!!! And the drawers in the kitchen still are only stapled together, no dovetailing.
@@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853for literally one of the worst layouts I've ever seen in a 144. (And fwiw, I'm an airstream owner)

$345K ! Are you nuts !!
You could buy a Revel for half of that.

@@alefeusch Thor Industries' corporate greed. Sell for more while cutting costs.

Airstream’s target market is apparently now MTV Cribs.
Who is this for? E1 package for boondocking, but a black water tank? Gotta pack a transfer tank or a cassette toilet too.
100k more than its competition and way worse in utility.
The RV looks like a diner. It's tiny. I'd rather buy a 345K house.
the price is a Jocke, you guys made my day🤣 good luck with your sale
That wet bath should be made to fit the 16RB. The sink would look great in there too!
The fake rivets look tacky and the ugly wakeboard boat speakers are sure to piss off anyone within half a mile.
I would rather have had a toilet with a shower, then those damn speakers.

It’s pretty awesome, but I can’t stand those obnoxious looking speakers loud speakers . You’d be hated by everyone that you’re disturbing!
I love that silver wrap!
4 cylinder?
did you say 16k for a wrap?

$345k and there are "options"?!
I fight a tiny bit of claustrophobia in my Bambi Sport 16RB bed area. This configuration would send me! 😅
Good heavens the red accents make it look way too tacky as does those speakers and sub. Why not just get a portable Bluetooth speaker for $200 and reclaim the space taken by sub and speakers. The wrap does not cost $20K
Three hundred and forty five thousand What ????
Great video, guys👍👍😊nice, nice, nice🤔😊
Yes! The Video Was Excellent, Production Wise!
Wow that is NOT a masterpiece of design. Yeah, young folks this is geared to have 300k to buy this. LOL
that a lot of money for van no chance. I can get the top of the line travel trailer for half that price plus a new truck to pull it around.
They have tried waaaaayyyy toooooo hard to look cool - and basically just demonstrated that they have officially lost touch with the people who might actually consider a 19x - this is horrible ...just my 2 cents
This may be the dumbest Airstream I have ever seen. I would rather have your old Van. This is something out of MTV Cribs.
I Also Prefer The Original Van, Which Has A Slightly Less Aggressive All-Wheel-Drive Option On Some Models.
@@TheFirefishe All wheel drive in the only way these are manufactured FOR 2025. 2024 you still had the option of 4x4 or AWD
He’s five foot nine how about someone who is six foot five?
As the great Sebastian Maniscalco would say…”Aren’t You Embarrassed?”
No lockers, no winch where is the money going?
Too much plastic for me. I am guessing that is what that running board and engine hood are made of.
This has to be a joke, oh wait, you get to spend the evening at the dealership??? I’m gonna buy a custom 30ft trailer and a top of the line truck for less🤦🏼♂️
A Lot Less If Lightly Pre-Owned!
Outdoor bed? The mosquitoes like it!
It is a great feature if you are camping somewhere with no mosquitoes.
@@colonialairstream like…Mt.Everest?
I think there is a typo in the title of this video. Shouldn't it be called the "Outlandish Edition" ? Airstream has no idea on how to design an Adventure Van, they just need to stop.
Looks like a build for an influencer that has never been camping or off-roading. Horrible look and design!
Makes absolutely no sense at all. The bed takes up the whole van, unless you slide it out and expose the mattress to the elements? Airstream has completely lost the plot.
I will take 3 Winnebago Adventure Van instead.......Beautiful rig but way overpriced.
Great!
The faux rivets could go away
The price tag is highway robbery.
Very cool
U don't like this floorplan !! It all weight limits and that cargo area is stupid it takes up all the space and I hate those loftpull down or pull out beds !!

I hate hate hate hate when class b's has those tracks all over cuz it take away from other stuff I would rather have and those huge out of place speakers are ridiculous yall don't need those that big
What a cramped and poorly made van, most people make better build ones with almost no budget
For $345K, you're telling me that LITTLE Dometic is all you get for staying off grid FOR DAYS?! NO- SORRY. There should be a larger dedicated fridge. Even , I , who would probably be the demographic this van aesthetic is appealing to - see those speakers as a huge NOPE!!! Ugly ass Florida wakeboard speakers.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ducking clowns, 345 thousand dollars.
Ahahahahaha
Hate it. Yuk. It's too obnoxious
Hard NO 👎
