What size moonshade is that?

That's what we call a Union coffee scoop.

Thank so much for your reply. That’s great thinking on your part! So many guys on the forums get all bent out of shape as if there is no way to reduce tongue weight. We would do something similar. She still holding up well after a year or two? Appreciate your genuine review and honey. Super helpful to those hoping to share in the fun one day!

How’s the tongue weight on that? Saw it’s 525 and 4Runner is max 500. Any ideas?

Do you mean mega-BITS or mega-BYTES. Usually, Mbps means BITS while MBps means BYTES. I think your example of "118 Megabytes up" is actually "118 Megabits up", according to Starlink. Great video - very helpful practical experience.

A lot of work to pack, drive hours, park, set up the camp site just to sit down in your Walmart folding chairs with the Mrs and pretend your having fun, but your thinking every second.......what a bitch. Camp alone with your dog is the way to go!

If I am on shore power for a couple of days my victron shows that the battery is off. Do you know if the battle born has an auto shut off if it is fully charged and I am on shore power?

Where would the inverter negative go? To the battery minus on the shunt?

Planning this upgrade and have a silly question. The lug connector sizes for both the fuse and batteries are 3/8 or 5/16?

There customer service sucks and they've had several issues of broken wheel bearings causing the tire to shear off. JUNK!!!!!!!

To fix the spot where your showerhead was, put wood glue on some toothpicks put them in the existing holes, trim the ends and put it all back together .

Is the fridge large enough?

Those skylights are not “emergency exits”. No one would exit through the roof in an emergency. They are there for ventilation and light.

Great video but I'm wondering why you had to turn on the water pump to drain the water heater after you already isolated it.

Typical corporate run business. Rest on their laurels while decreasing quality and maximizing profits.

Great video, exactly what I was looking for. Starting to think that Airstream should stick to their traidtional travel trailers, No Basecamps, Vans, etc. Kinda been a big miss in my opinion. But I would like to see if they are actually addressing these issues, in design, quality, and function, with each passing model year. Glass doors, who was the engineer that thought that was a good idea?

Do not do it, Black Series are Made in China, poor quality, shipped in a shipping container straight from China. RVs of America should be ashamed of theirselves. They did a propaganda video, apologizing, but they knew what they were doing, until they needed to backtrack.

How does the Toyota 4Runner do with the 20X? Seemed to be a little nose down. I have a FJ Cruiser that is highly modified. Supercharged, Toytec HD 2.0 Rear Springs, ICON 3.0 Shocks, Timbren Bump Stops, Transmission Cooler, Larger Transmission pan, Regeared, Transmission Valve Body Modification (Wholesale Transmissions) , These are the mods that make it tow better. Have you done any modifications to your 4Runner for Towing upgrades?

Most of the things you have talked about, would increase weight, Most people buying a basecamp are looking to pull with smaller vehicle. The plastic components on the outside are in common use. And if you do not store your Airstream inside, be ready to replace everything in the years ahead. Good video. Appreciate your opinions of it.

i have water coming to my basecamp 2023 on the floor ONLY while I am driving; wander if other owners got the same issue. :-( Not yet fix by the dealer....

Where did you go? I always enjoyed your videos. Military assignment?

I just ordered an 2024 REI 20X. I didn’t want the glass storage doors.

just found your channel. Did you give up on it?

I have been told that Thor is the real company that make the airstream now. Maybe that is why all of the quality and short cuts are being made with airstream now. We have a 1960 AS and love it. Hope things get better with manufacture on these hate to see the quality go.

I can see the product link for the propane quick connect hose, but I did not see a link for the connector to use the blackstone. On the generator, can you run the AC off the generator? Approximately how long of a runtime do you get? (I know runtime depends on load) just wondering estimates. Great gear choices.

Always work on the hot/positive side with the ground/negative side disconnected. It may only be 12 volts but the current potential is deadly.

Did you remove the cooktop inside? If so, did you cap the line or remove completely ? Only use mine to boil water.

We have been looking but have not bought. What we loved was how large the sleeping space is we are 5 11 and 6 1 . The wet bath space is adequate to stand in. The storage concerned me. The netting is cheap. It should be high grade like the survival bracelets. The bambi had more comfort and storage options except for carting gear like kayaks or bikes so we were back to the 20x basecamp. You can get the same lift on the Bambi its single axel, too, but no rear door. There are no exterior hauling options on the camper to carry those. So they would need to be on the vehicle. Not sure this is our final choice . We also plan to travel for extended time to visit grandkids for months at a time. For now, we have 3 yrs to decide. Gross vehicle weight is a big factor as well. Of course, from what I heard from the dealer in winter the water tank can freeze. Unfortunately this limits the use of the toilet to 3 seasons and the need for a casset toilet.

Thanks for doing this video? How long you had the BaseCamp when all these issues happened. If Thor owns Airstream. Im sure the management is trying to cut cost

The issues with this BC has little to do with "Quality Control" and more, if not everythjng, to do with DESIGN. I cant even say engineering, because i really dont even see that given the petty issues. Given the pricepoint of AS models compared to competitors, it is obvious they are trying to milk/gouge customers hard... and that is unfortunate. I work in automotive Mfg and a $50k car is light years better in every way... and that shouldnt be. I highly doubt AS units are built by Swiss watch makers and their pay rates.

Sucks! If they’re selling they’re not going to make many changes until demand goes down 😢

Great video! I finally pulled the trigger on a 20X yesterday and I am very exited. You have lots of good info in your videos. Thank you!

Thanks for posting this. Excellent and helpful video. It's 2023 now and I'm about to dewinterize our Basecamp 20. What is that short hose that connects the water filter to your trailer? Looks like it's made up of two pieces. Where did you find those pieces? According to Airstream, we shouldn't use soap for gas leak detection. See 46 minutes into this tutorial: How to Dewinterize an Airstream in 5 Steps | Getting Ready for a Safe RV Trip ( ua-cam.com/video/iIf37pdQeBg/v-deo.html ) by Airstream Other areas Airstream recommends cleaning are the filters in the AC and the unit on top. They recommend hosing down the coils on top of the trailer if there's any buildup. I wonder if you wouldn't mind doing a video of the latter. I'm a bit nervous messing with the AC unit on top. ( Yes, I'm a subscriber. I used your winterizing video last fall. )

What the heck is up with those screws? I don’t expect screws to be loosening and falling off my airstream as I’m driving down the road. 😮

I have the HQ15! Awesome Unit! Big enough for two, camping off grid indefinitely. You need a proper tow vehicle, they are not wimpy.

Airstream is SLOW to catch up to technology.

I can’t find dimensions for the cabinets anywhere online. I hope we can visit one soon with a tape measurer!

For the cabinet doors opening, I attached Velcro prices above and below the door on the cabinet. Then put straps with Velcro on both ends and it keeps the doors closed while in transit.

This is one of the best accessory BC videos! Thank you!

Thanks for an honest review and showing the defects. This helps my purchase decision.

Great vid. I started cracking up when you showed the snow... that InTech next to your BC20 is what we just traded in on OUR BC20! Keep up the killer content!

Your set up is almost identical to what my wife and I roll with…only difference is we have the NuCamp T@G Boondock! Seriously down to the crush lights we are identical…crazy!! Only difference is we roll with a Jackery 1000 instead of the gas generator. Great video…new sub!

Congratulations on your beautiful new camper.!

Aren’t you Airstream owners afraid of hail storms?

Saw your video, been camping at ski taos for 10 yrs.....my heater igniter won't spark if the battery running the fan is below 11 volts. Just blows air till I turn on the generator power.

How are you attaching the moon shade to the base camp? I have a small travel trailer but I don’t have a Kedar rail

This was great video. Thanks. I’m taking mine in for service tomorrow and I asked them how much they would charge to install the shunt while it was there. I figured $150 or so may be worth it. They were going to charge me $800. So ridiculous. I’ll be doing it myself in the spring. Going to add the VE dongle for the solar controller as well.

Found out recently it is made in China now. No longer an Australian trailer.

Great video. Thanks! Is there any reason I can’t switch the valves back after performing the whole process and before putting the panel back on? Or do the valves need to be in that position while winterized?
