🌟 BREAKING NEWS! - Success was a Long-Time Coming (part 7)
Hello! It looks warm there. YAY! Hello back from New Mexico. :)
What a fun video - wish we could have made it a Party of 6 up at The Cupola Bar! Michigan and the UP is such a great place to RV. We'll look forward to your next adventures...
We had a great time. It’s always fun meeting up with Jim and Michelle. Hope you guys are able to get back on the road soon. Safe travels and Merry Christmas
Hey Rick & Lisa!! Pay it forward is a beautiful thing. 😍Ohmygoodness! Loved our time with you guys too. SOO Much! Thank you for spending time with us. We were so honored to be able to spend time at one of our favorite locations with great friends. It was like seeing it through fresh eyes! Look forward to our next visit together. Blessings on you both in this Christmas season 🎄- Jim & Michelle
Thanks, we loved hanging with you guys. We need to get together again soon. Safe travels and Merry Christmas 🎄 Rick & Lisa
Looks like lots of fun
We had a great visit
Great video! Do you think the fall is the best time of the year to visit there?
We loved visiting the UP in the Fall 🍁. The weather was great and the crowds were gone (mostly)
This video makes me want to sell my airstream.
I hope not. That wasn’t the intent of this video series. Anyways, safe travels and Merry Christmas
Saw em off from College Station!
🤣
Safe travels family
Same to you and Merry Christmas
@ Merry Christmas !!
HOOK’EM from Austin!!!🤘🏼UT 34 - O who 3
Boomer Sooner…We will be back next year (I hope) 🤣
Good video thanks for sharing. God bless you and yours.
Safe travels and Merry Christmas
the pool noodle is a great idea. my cat got in behind that spot in the bathroom and i thought he had escaped. three hours later he reapperared..
That’s funny…I hope the cat is ok. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas
I was a full time RVer for 10 years. All I can say is for the cost of a Airstream trailer there should be NO plastic on the units.
I understand your point of view, however many of the plastic parts are common across the RV industry.
As a new Airstreamer I appreciate your videos, very informative. Have you found any RV travel apps that are worth using? Thanks, Brad
Brad…we use RV trip wizard for all of our campsite research and travel planning. However it requires a subscription. We also use Allstays, Recreation.gov, and Reserve America. For RV navigation we use Google Maps & Apple Maps. For travel weather along our route we like to use On The Way. Hope this helps Merry Christmas Rick & Lisa
Great recap! I think my son and son on law will find these as a Christmas present!
You can never have too much stuff 🤣
We don't think we've ever seen you without a hat Rick? Thanks for the follow- up. - Jim & Michelle
You guys caught me…LoL
Cool. I've never heard of stainless steel zip ties but I can certainly see the value. I'll add those to our kit...
It’s a great tip I was given by Phil “The Door Guy”
Thanks , I added these to my cart
Thanks for watching! Happy holidays and safe travels.
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures and challenges with your Airstream. I am second guessing myself now whether I should invest in an Airstream in the future or not. Paying 200K for this product, I’d have high expectations for quality,durability and reliability and thus far I had the opportunity observing many channels complaining about all the trouble with Airstreams. I do hope that your trouble come to an end soon and wish you guys safe and happy travels ahead.
Thanks for watching. However, I would tell everyone… don’t buy any RV if you’re looking for a “return on investment” other than the opportunity to travel and make memories. Sure the Airstream will break from time to time, but as long as we are having fun and making memories it’s been worth it. Happy holidays and safe travels.
Ok so how are you hauling the golf cart? I had a foot injury and bringing our cart would help at this point.
It was a rental at the rally. Best $ we spent.
That site work is so cheap!!!
Very helpful, thank you! I am pulling my wheels off (2022 30RBT Classic) while in winter storage in backyard garage to mitigate tire flat spots. Was watching carefully as to where you placed your floor stands ….. under the frame in front and behind the dual wheels (not under the axles) 👍
Thanks for watching 👀
Welcome to South Carolina! We live in Sumter!
Thanks…we’re loving the Palmetto State
my airstream 2019 30' is 50 amp. how is yours 30 amp?
Our Airstream only has one air conditioner unit. Yours has two therefore it requires 50 amp service to run both units. Hope this answers your question. Safe travels.
Excellent video! Thank you so much! I can do this🙏
Happy to hear the video was helpful. Good luck with your project.
We are looking forward to retirement so we can travel around. Going to be looking for some idesas.
Retirement life is great and the freedom to travel is awesome. Good luck
Great video! Like others have said, it needs to be repeated!
Mike…sounds like you may be a future guest on the show. 🤣
Loved it!
Thanks
Wow! This was so much fun and such a wonderfully creative idea for a video. The camera angles and sound were perfect.
Hey Guys…thanks for the feedback. We had a lot of fun making the video and meeting so many awesome people.
We missed this one, but we are planning to attend next years rally. We were in Banff, Canada when the rally started. Hope to see you then.
Sorry you missed the rally. It was a great time, but Banff isn’t a bad alternative either 🤣
Just downloaded Drive Weather. Great assist for travel. Nice video. S
I give all credit to Phil for the Drive Weather tip. He is a wealth of knowledge. Safe travels
Loved Phil's response when you asked "if money was no object, which Airstream would you buy." We feel the same way about our 2013 25ft International that we made boondock ready. P.S. we have courtesy parking.
Phil is an awesome guy and a wealth of knowledge… always ready to help a fellow Airstreamer at anytime.
OHH I liked Cash Cab!!! This is SOOO FuNnY. It's true about donating blood v. alcohol. Several Motorcycle rallies Ive attended Golf Carts were the main transportation LOL.
We met so many great people and heard so many funny stories. The Golf Carts were a game changer at this rally…
Very clever and fun idea for a video! It was a great way to meet people too.🤩 Nice interviews and we learned a lot. We hope to be at International next year! - Jim & Michelle
We had so much fun driving around and meeting people at the Rally. Wish you guys could have been there as well.
So great to see you guys at the rally and thanks for the great video! SO many great memories.
Brad & Blair…We had an awesome time…thanks for sharing part of your day with us! Safe travels
One of your best episodes.
Thanks…we had so much fun just meeting people and having a few laughs.
What a great idea ! Hope you do this at all the international rally’s you attend.
That’s a great idea…we may look at doing that in the future 🙂
One of your best videos!
Awesome…glad you liked it. Safe travels
Best episode yet!
Thanks. We had a great time making the video!
Really enjoyed your video! Now I see what fun I missed not getting to go to International! Hope to meet y’all down the road! Linda Shelton #208
Hi Linda…so happy you enjoyed the video. The rally was a great time. Hope you can make one in the future. Thanks for watching and safe travels
Ha, I think we saw you filming this. We were also in a golf cart and I yelled “I love your channel!” lol 😂 super awkward. We loved Cash Cab- now I wish we would have gotten in!
Thanks for the kind words. We had a great time at the rally and enjoyed meeting so many awesome people. Safe travels and thanks for watching
Nice to finally meet you all during the Rally. Fun video. Also excited to see our rig (Pearl and Yeti) at 23:40!
I was there too. I got the last golf cart on a whim...once I seen how big the area was and I used the heck out of it I seem to always have someone else in my cart when I drive around....I must look like the shuttle. I would suggest 2 years for the membership to get a good experience, LOL it is less than a tank of diesel. I am with Stella's Sisters, an intra club and wish I had run into you. Hope to see you in York, PA next year. I have a Basecamp 20X. If you are there next year come look us up. Sedalia was gorgeous and hot.
What did you do about your septic ? What kind did you get ?
We didn’t install a septic system for the Airstream. We already have one on the property and can dump (if needed).
I have watched many video's like this,,,, and I conclude all trailers are made of such low quality products its unbelievable. air stream makes better product than any other and here they are falling apart as well, what a shock for me. and NO these problems are not something just anyone can fix. you are very handy etc. Im sure not and most are not
The problem with all trailers no matter the make, none are not made for the environment - such as a boat is made for constant vibration and moving,,, these trailers are made of the same stuff you would put in a house which never moves..... if they made big boats with the same quality parts etc they would be falling apart in a week, just as these trailers seemingly do! Maybe I should take a boat put wheels on it and there no problems any more.
This is all fine and dandy if you are handy and you enjoy this kind of constant stuff, but Im a professor, I dont even know what a screw driver is,, I think its a drink, so what are poor guys like me supposed to do,, this would cost a fortune to keep going even if you could find a good honest place to service it, but what do you do when you are 1500 miles from home and your air conditioning goes,,, you are clearly very handy and like doing this,,, but the rest of us well good luck to us!
Is this just one year of usage. good grief. if this is what I have to go thru every year of use this is not for me.
This is way too many things for me,,, like really - these things should be like tanks for the price - compared the rest of the junk out there these are supposed to be the best,, this is impressive not in a good way - Im not handy and I dont have time for this - back to a pop up tent for me!
