Great points to consider and not be frustrated about. I would like to add a thought to the appliances point. You are right that airstream is not responsible for the quality issues the appliances may have. However in my impression airstream tends choose cheap appliances, like the TV or even some valves like the plastic fresh water tank drain instead of using a brass valve.
I locked myself out of my first airstream twice before getting those little black plugs! The second time was on top of a mountain an hour from cell service. Thankfully I had my InReach in my unlocked truck. Also recommend a lock box on the outside! :)
Thanks for watching! The issue with the Tundra isn't so much the model, just that any 1/2 ton truck isn't capable of safely handling a 7,000lb trailer.
Pulled several 7.5K trailers plus a Airstream 27FBQ with a Tundra for over 10yrs. No issues but truck cargo capacity was always maxed out.
You can tow what you can tow, but you can only STOP so much. Our tundra was over payload with just the tongue weight of our 27’.
This is a great video! Thanks for making it and sharing the info!
Thanks for checking it out! We love your helpful vids too!
@@DigitalBarbell Thank you!!

Good points! I think they try to consciously decide where it’s best to “skimp”. Thanks for watching!

There are a lot of different Tundras out there. It probably would have helped if you specified WHICH Tundra you had been using.

#8 has to be that Airstream’s make the pups tired.
It’s a fact! And they got a 3 mile walk 🤣
