@ Congratulations on your AI24. Is is a GL or GT? I am glad you found our videos helpful 🤗
Hi I like your review on your van. I have deposit on used airstream year 2022. Must be same model as your. I will pick it up in Jan, would you please advice me for the lists of checking? I am 68 and alone, I buy in Canada with the cost 254000 Canadian dollars including tax. I hope that will not have problem. I love the floor plan even so tiny. Thank you
@@ubolpunvollmann4457 I am glad you found our review helpful. Congratulations on your purchase! Just make sure the house batteries are not draining the chassis battery. You don’t have that problem if the van is not plugged in for a day and half or so and your chassis battery doesn’t say low battery. Also just making sure the inverter and solar panels work. Check heat,AC, water pump, macerator, black and gray tanks valves can be opened. Fridge should be pretty cold when you set it on 4 or 5. Have you join the AI19 Facebook group? You can ask any questions you have and members will help answer them too. Good luck with picking up your AI19
I don't know that you can get a perfect RV. I had to do many upgrades and fixing things myself that they screwed up. It is outrageous that they charge so much money and the workmanship is shotty.
Yes no perfect RV. Also for the price we paid they should have better quality control before selling them to customers so we don’t have to deal with problems that could be prevented.
Great videos..! I have a '24 the A and B Schedules are difficult to understand. It depends were you look. The owner's manual is not clear. I expected "A" to be oil and filter change and "B" is air cabin and fuel filters.
@@digestingtheelephant.6214 Thanks for watching 🤗We still need to do the second part of schedule B soon
Just bought these for my pleasure way ascent and they fit perfect!

Hi I’m Pim from Canada. After watching your video, I have more confident to buy one like yours and will pick it up in Jan. I hope will not have problem, I am retired solo woman. This will be my fourth RV, before we had class A and C. My husband took care of everything and now I am alone and can not drive big one. I am really enjoy to travel, even now my husband can not be with me. May I ask for your advice if I have problem? Thank you

@@brucegustafson6943 What a beautiful cup right? 🥰
Please share your pizza dough recipe.
@@t.q.6639 Thank you for watching. Here is the recipe The best way is to create a “poolish” which is a prefermented dough to keep overnight and then add more flour and water the next morning. Poolish recipe: 350gram of water and 350 gram of bread flour or 00 flour. 4 grams of yeast and 4 grams of sugar. Mix and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes and then put in refrigerator for 16-24 hours. Add 700 grams of flour and 375 grams of water and 30 gram of salt. Knead with mixer or by hand and let dough rest for about 30-40 minutes. Split into about 6 balls of approximately. 275 grams. Each balls can make a 10-11” pizza. The key is to let the balls proof for 1 hour, and then fold the balls gently again to add more air in for about 15-20 seconds and let proof again for 30 minutes. Do that one more time and rest for 30 minutes. Dough ball is now ready to be baked. You can half this if it is too much dough, but you can also freeze the dough. The key is hydration has to be around 70%. Here; 725 gram of water divided by 1050 gram of flour = 70%.
Love the water bottle flower vase!😂
@@cv5200 Thank you for watching 🤗Mutli functions water bottle 🤗
Love your videos. I just traded my Airstream 19 for a Grech Ion Turismo Tour and it's so much nicer. My Airstream was falling apart without barely even using it. If you plan to upgrade your Class B you must check out the Grech models. They really pay attention to details and the bathroom is much nicer, porcelain toilet that comes with the van, no need to replace like you did. No more gas needed for the generator. I won't be going back to Airstream again. Their prices keep rising and their quality keeps deteriorating. Thank you again for sharing your Class B RV life with us. 🙂
@@sillyfilly1397 So sorry to hear about your Airstream was falling apart even when barely using it. That’s how our van was the first year. We did have buyers remorse moments during the first year of ownership. Luckily second year was less problems and nothing happened during 3rd year. Keeping fingers crossed 🤞. Congrats on your new Grech Ion. Happy travels 🤗
@@BamBamRVAdventures It's too bad because I had owned the 24' Interstate prior to downsizing to the 19' as it's more convenient to park and drive and I didn't need the extra length but the quality was not there. The previous Interstate had those beautiful marine gloss cabinets and I loved their marine wood-look vinyl floors compared to the material they put down in the 19' which is much harder to vacuum and clean. So glad you got all the kinks worked out in the 3rd year. That shouldn't have to happen at the costs they charge. The weather stripping around the windows of my 19' literally fell off the day after I received mine. You have the updated fly screen door but the one 2020 screen door falls off onto you if you just breathe near it lol. Anyway thank you for your reply back that wasn't expected. I'm in love with my Grech Turismo so far and just got it ceramic coated to keep the beautiful new blue grey color shiny and protected. Love your videos and your class B journeys. I bought similar baskets for storage that fit perfectly and I learned a lot on how to make little to no storage work. The Turismo has even less storage options due to the ion batteries are on the back so you can't put anything there which is one negative. I may get an Owl Box one of these days for added storage. Happy Holiday Adventures to you both.
@ I am glad you found the baskets that fit your space. I love baskets…🤗 Definitely wish the quality is better for the price that we paid . Happy travels
@@BamBamRVAdventures Yes thank you the baskets made a big difference. Love them too. Happy Holiday Travels
Fantastic! You guys tried living in a van down by the river! Looked like a lot of fun too :) Loved that campground - deers visiting during work is great. You guys made this look so fun - well done! Good luck with the new house!
@@bobanddangsjourney We really lived in our van by the river! 😂😂Too bad I couldn’t work remotely like my husband to enjoy the scenery 🤗
Another great video, Mr. and Mrs. Bam Bam! Regarding dash compartments . . . Remember, the front cup holders on the dash are different because you switched out the uncovered cup holders and installed the covered dash compartments. I know, because, based on your video, and using your video as guidance for the instillation, I installed the covered dash board compartments too!
@@accountingstepbystep2229 Thank you for watching 🤗I love the dash compartments upgrades. Now we have a place to hide our messes . Lol

You eat better food in a Van than I do at home with a full kitchen.

Could you live in the van full time ? 😂😂😂 I would struggle, I would miss the home comforts too much….hey you could always try slab city , no dough nuts available there I’m afraid.😂😂😂
@@peterlondon2217 We do like the comfort of a bigger house. 🤗I think part time van life is fun. Maybe when we retire. I just looked up Slab City and nooooo ….. I don’t think we can live there. 😂😂

@@1dutchmeteor Thank you for always supporting us. You are a beautiful soul 🥰
I love how you take care of your van! I can't sew so I'm so impressed at one of your videos showing your memory foam that you cut to size and then wrapped in a bedsheet with velcro closures! Now I'm seeing your shampoo container in your shower. Is that something you drilled in to install or is it a sticky adhesive that holds them up? And can you tell me where you found yours? It's simple and sleek! Thank you for your videos!!
@@jan141965 Thank you so much for watching, I don’t know how to sew either so I had to improvise. LOL The shampoo container came with the van with adhesive backing on it. So far it hasn’t come off yet. 🤗
Well, I’m impressed at your improvisation. You could sell those!💖 I’m surprised your van came with the shampoo containers. We just bought a new 24gt interstate airstream and our bathroom didn’t include that😢. Thank you again for your videos😊

Your videos are so helpful. Where did you purchase your clothing storage bins?
@@KarlaWenhardt Thank you for watching Karla. I bought the clothing storage bins from a local Homegoods store. I was lucky to find those that fit perfectly. 🤗
Besides a good Air conditioning the next big thing on mu list is a good toilet. I just don't understand why more people don't just use a flushable toilet. Every other option is just not acceptable.
@@Mustash-Tony Thank you for watching Tony. I totally agreed! Quiet AC and flushable porcelain toilet. 🤗
can you do this for the center one as well?

Another video’s comments mentioned new procedure to pour the oil into the filter housing. Allegedly helps prevent oil starvation during the next startup. Soot build up led to spun bearings occurring too frequently after oil changes so Mercedes updated the procedure.

I’ve been following your channel for a bit….so happy to see you posting again!!! Yay! We just recently bought the 2024 19ft pleasure way ascent and looking forward to travelling in it!! I’ve commented lots of times on your videos as we were also considering the airstream. We bought the pleasure way based on availability and it’s also a great vehicle. I still admire the athletics of the airstream. We’re from Alberta Canada and travelling into Washington next week. We’re still a ways from retirement so we have to make a short trip.
@@amyfawkes6153 Thank you for watching Amy and Congratulations on your purchase of the Ascent! The first van we looked at was the Acsent . It is a beautiful van and great quality built. plus the back seat is sooooo….comfortable! It was out of our price range at the time so we ended up with the Roadtrek Zion SRT. Have fun traveling in your new rig!
Is your EcoFlow connected to the existing 200 Ah house batteries, or do you have to plug things directly into your EcoFlow.
@@carmenbeckstrom5372 we have a video on how we connected the Ecoflow into the van in order to use it. We didn’t connect it directly into house batteries. We connected extension cords into the Ecoflow and ran them into the existing outlets. One by the door to use our coffee maker and one to the microwave.

It's the first time that I heard increasing the speed is for safety purposes 🤣🤣
@@en0000 increasing speed is not good or bad but depends on the circumstances 😂😂😂
@@BamBamRVAdventures we are so glad we saw another one of your videos on this topic. We are also getting a Renntech before next camping season. We have 2022 Airstream Interstate GT and it almost feels like it stalls (it doesn't) but so sluggish pulling out. We have to wait until huge gaps on a busy highway speed road before pulling out which can be a VERY long time. Since we cannot get up to speed fast enough. I am hopeful this will help. Love your videos! Keep them coming.
@@KymKiser Thank you for watching Kymberly. 🤗So we installed the Pedal Controller first and that really helped with the acceleration. My husband also wanted more horsepower so we installed the Renn tech ECU. I would be happy with just the Pedal controller.
@@BamBamRVAdventures I must have missed that part. That is what we certainly need. Which of your videos gives more info regarding the pedal controller? Thank you so much!
@@KymKiser this is the link where we bought it. owlvans.com/products/pedal-controller-pedal-box-2-0 We hid the wire behind the panel on the right side of the gas pedal.
Thanks for sharing. Good information. I did not know what PPF was until this video! Sounds like a great product. How long do you plan to keep your van? Are you planning to get a new one, and if so what would you get? Another class B, or B+?
@@PSLnyc Thank you for watching 🤗We love PPF and have it on all of our cars. For sport cars we have them wrapped the whole car since we get many rock chips being so low. We plan to keep this van for a while because it is serving our travel style as of now. I am not sure I can maneuver something bigger. 😂
