Thanks for watching
Do you really need a weight distribution hitch with the Air Safe Hitch? I have a 3/4 truck and am wondering if WDH is necessary. Thoughts?
It is my opinion that the Air Safe hitch and a WDH are serving two different purposes. One is intended to reduce the stress and fatigue of a ridged truck/trailer connection using airbag technology. The other is intended to evenly distribute the trailers tongue weight across the truck and trailer axles. Because they each serve a different purpose we have chosen to use a WDH with our Air Safe hitch. Hope this helps. Safe travels
Very clever using your house video cam footage when leaving! Very fun! Loved Lisa singing and the vibe of this travel day video! Hey! Another Airstream!! "Gotta keep ya around for some reason..." LOL! 🤣 Loved the transitions. Lisa I love your hair braided like that. 😍 YAY! You made it to Michigan! Competitive? Hmmmm. We hadn't noticed..... LOL. 😂 Jim & Michelle
Dunkins stop selling donuts in dozen years ago. I remember the Shasta brand!!! Another great video.
Love me some Dunkin Donuts 🍩. Thanks for watching and safe travels.
Rick…Don’t worry about the workout after the donuts. Remember that in the span of 11 years, 115 people died in weightlifting accidents but that during the same time period only 1 person died eating a donut. Make the safe choice!
You make a great point…perhaps I’ve been living a risky life all along. Time for a donut 🍩 🤣
Less laundry to do by wearing the same shirt the entire travels north. Practical and smart.
I ride cross country "Biker" we wear same cloths till its time for laundry day... Remember you meet different people each day LOL.
I’m doing my part to save the planet 🌎
Great video
Thanks. We had a lot of fun making it. Happy camping and safe travels.
Well I feel like a fool for paying $115 for the Nolox version.
I wouldn’t say that. NoLox makes a great product, but if you don’t have one of their step braces this is an alternative solution 🙂
I am a detailer….My suggestion is try ChemX 2 Step Stars and Stripes Wash and then spray on their Snake Oil protection. You can probably do that trailer in less than 2 hours with their products . All wash and wax combo products do not leave any protection.
Thanks for the tip.
damn dude, all this just in one year? You have me reconsidering an Airstream ... How does a warranty repair work? you have to drive it to the nearest dealer? or do they send someone out onsite?
I bought my Airstream used during the pandemic. It was outside of the manufacturer warranty so I don’t have any experience with working with dealers for repairs. Hope this helps.
Where did you get the long propane line for the generator to the airstream? Can you provide the URL if it was Amazon? I have the same generator that you do. Thank you!
I got it from Amazon - www.amazon.com/DOZYANT-Pressure-Quick-Connect-Disconnect-Extension/dp/B07W4YY2LS/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?crid=AL00JY7KRR1Q&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.h8nbRkTWvnpGy-yQ5gPPKDM3LKcf_vcJTaITuLtcnGKXcaWkhy3n9_VC3wIx8ONEtHLFZRLO7GhceR85R5JSNbjIGU2nDP5S89ognLjYu1ugxJrGHEINfxKX3VX0RfTz2XabQxyBLs1ABtdm1KNG7iSMtTWX7SYokwBHQHbxLm_bizEQqPiRl3a4-5g6QhKzv4KALKzVMWYvtrg60j7eMQ._ijh9vGBTRoZxZk3Ft5gk7xGTM-hAeJQeDlkZ-zEVOM&dib_tag=se&keywords=25%27+propane+hose&qid=1727782823&sprefix=25%27+prop%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-5
@@thewrightlife thanks. So the line with the regulator that comes with the generator; I don’t have to use if I plug into the airstream quick connect on one end and the generator on the other end?
@@scottanton4374 if it’s the same generator as mine, then you still need to use the regulator that came with the generator. However, you will need to add a quick connect to it to use the longer LPG hose.
can you open your tail gate ? with the shocker hitch people are saying cant open there tail gate . really liked your honest information .denis from santa rosa ca
Hi…yes we can open the truck’s tailgate.
10 minutes in and the husband hasn't cleaned a single part of the trailer. Interesting. I would suggest a couple help each other in all tasks including vehicle and RV maintenance. Something everyone should know when it comes to their home on wheels and their tow vehicle
We generally share the cleaning duties but on this day I was filming so it is easier for one person to clean and the other person to film. You may ask why didn’t Lisa film and I clean? Well Lisa is better at cleaning and I am better at filming 🎥. Thanks for watching and safe travels.
We hope to meet you in Sedalia!
That would be nice. We will be the one in the Airstream 🤣
R&L…Love all the great videos. Just booked a Celebrity cruise for my wife’s 70th birthday next year. I think she has the same birthday as Lisa. See you down the gangway! 🛳️ Rick & Deb BRN1086
Hey Guys… thanks for the kind words. We enjoy making the videos and hope that others find them useful. Congrats on the upcoming birthday cruise celebration. Happy camping and safe travels. Rick & Lisa
Where did you get that TST shade for your monitor. That looks very useful. Just returned from A long haul in our new Airstream and the sun definitely played havoc on me trying to read the numbers. Thank you
Honestly we can’t remember where we bought the cover. You might be able to find one Amazon or Techno RV website. Thanks for watching.
Great review- I will have to check my UA-cam- I didn’t see any of your summer excursions 🍻
Many of our summer RV excursions had to be canceled due to family responsibilities we had. We did travel to Europe in July for our anniversary celebration. We are back on the road now enjoying a Fall road trip. Thanks for watching and safe travels.
After this video, I have serious “Spare Parts Storage Envy”. Looking forward to seeing you guys at Sedalia.
Two things I hate…(1) not having a spare part on hand (2) having a spare part that I can’t find. Safe travels and happy camping. P.S. The Chain Sox are on and working well (upcoming video)
That sign in your bathroom!!! 😂😂😂 We look forward to meeting you guys at Alumalina.
Alumalina should be a great time. Looking forward to attending and meeting everyone. Safe travels.
Thanks guys for the “shout out” about washing the curtains and mentioning our channel!
No problem. We love promoting fellow Airstream channels and great people (you guys). If you guys make it to South Carolina this winter let us know. - Rick & Lisa
great preps. All very essential. The only one I don't bother with is the propane tank sensors. Have wondered about that, but end of the day, we just run off of one of our tanks until it runs out, and then switch over manually, and then make darn sure to get the empty one refilled before the other one goes empty too, so that we again have the backup spare. The last tank lasted something like 65 nights, so it is not like we are making that switchover very often mind you. Safe travels and enjoy your fall trip.
We did the same thing for years. My problem was remembering which tank I was using between trips. I tried a few different methods and then decided to try out the Mopeka sensors. We’ve been very happy with them. Thanks for watching.
@@thewrightlife lol...yes, I get that for sure. My regulator has the switch on it, so I know that the tank that the switch is pointing to is the live one, and the other one which I leave always off is the spare. Until it is empty and then I switch the indicator to the other tank. Then I just need to remember to get the empty tank filled back up to have as a spare. :) Nothing worse then suddenly realizing both tanks are empty. Looking forward to follow your trip. We take off one week from today for a month or so as well. Looking forward to it.
@ShawnPatterson402 …safe travels and happy camping 🏕️
Great video you guys! Hey, tailgate dropped to the beat.....nice touch. 👍😊 Very entertaining and packed full of great information. You are very organized and we really like the storage bin. We need to get some of those parts to have on hand. Well done! - Jim & Michelle
Some would say I have enough spare parts on hand to build a second Airstream. 🤣
I think Airstream should have used a larger water drain. I switched mine from plastic to metal but it takes forever because of the small opening.
💯agree…It takes FOREVER to drain the fresh water tank.
Rick, love your videos…they help us a lot…thank you! Two questions please…First, your video (TPMS MISTAKE!) showed you used 63 PSI as the normal tire pressure. Do you still use that PSI when towing your airstream? Second…where do you store your travel Berkey in the trailer when towing? V/R Frank
Frank…YES, we still tow at 63 psi. It’s worked well for us based on our rig. When towing, the tires warm up and the tire pressure increases to 70 psi. As for the Berkey, Lisa wraps it in a towel and places it in the shower. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and safe travels.
Correction - We inflate to 63 psi. As the tires warm up when driving the psi increases to 70 psi.
Thank you Rick...your comment does help. Safe travels!
Are you using the propane outlet on your trailer or hooked to the tanks?
@craig-n1f …we are using the LPG outlet on the Airstream to power the generator (or Blackstone grill)
You should get the Airkrafter AC vents. They've been a game changer for us. Expensive but worth it for hot weather camping.
We’ve heard great things about them and considered them in the past, but we have a hard time justifying the price ($900). We’re keeping our options open.
Any plans for travels out west?
The farthest west on this trip will be to Sedalia, Mo for the Airstream Rally….Then back East So much more to see out west on a future road trip. 🙂
