  • We knew that our cross-country from California to Florida might show us more problems with the Airstream Interstate, but we were really hoping for smooth sailing. Sadly, that wasn't the case. Looks like it's back to the shop for the Airstream Interstate van when we get home, but this video goes through the details of why. 😭

    I agree with the other two comments, Grech. Airstream is owned by Thor Industries, Grech is owned by Grech. Airstreams make great trailers, should stick to what they do best.

    Yup, we've bailed for a hotel once. It was Memorial Day and we booked the last site at a Maryland State Park. That site was maybe suitable for a tent or a VW camper van. We fought that site for hours. Finally, we pulled out, went to the state park's resort hotel (they had one - how convenient), parked the Sub, booked a room, and went straight to the bar for martini's. It happens...

    I admire your patience with the vans challenges. The company should exchange yours for a “new” fully tested van. The level of goodwill created would address the amount of negative comments regarding the van. Road Warrior Dash is looking as happy as ever. 😀

    Guys, I feel so bad for you and it is amazing how well you are handling what I would call an "RV crisis". We all support Airstream because we love our Airstream's but enough should be enough. You need to find a quality Lemon Law attorney and send that junk back.

I, on the other hand, am thoroughly loving my new Trade Wind (BRN #1889) and I hope to see you guys at International this fall. Be safe, stay positive and hug Dash for me!

    I think you should decide what your family’s comfort needs are and start with that. It’s your home for goodness sake. It needs to feel like you want to live in it. If it doesn’t work, do something else. I would feel like I was cheating if I would prefer to go to a hotel to get relief, unless you were at a place that had no accommodations whatsoever to park, or your home was in the shop.

    You should custom build a van. Limitless van in Washington state did awesome job for my daughter. I’m so jealous. I unfortunately bought a Thor Tranquility Mercedes 4x4 and have had terrible time getting things fixed. Not with Mercedes but with LaMesa service center. Currently the Charging system is not reliable and since I’m a solo traveler and travel off grid a lot I need a reliable system. Goes back again March 18th. Feel for you. Hope you get things resolved. Wish me luck! Love your channel❤️

    I would get rid of that van ASAP. It is just incredible the stuff you have been through with this thing. I would have chucked it a long time ago. Airstream makes great tow behind trailers , but that van is just trash. I am glad we have seen all this with this thing. So many people have wanted one but after seeing all this, they are rethinking.

    If that was my van Id be driving it right back to the factory service centre in Ohio….Id be getting them to go over entire rig…..electrical/ plumbing everything. I am sure they would do this ….. and resolve all ur issues. Imo u should of done that as soon as ur problems began for ur rig. The level of service there is top notch. If it is a true lemon they would of dealt with that as well. And if u weren’t satisfied u could of just walked over to there HQ and demanded to speak to someone in management who could solve ur issues.
    call Jackson centre make an appointments. Send an email with all the issues u have had and have cc the CEO of AS.

    Hoping Grech comes to Canada. Love my AS trailer but down the road I would like a van. At the RV show here last month….nothing matches the AS vans. Been disappointed in the Pleasure way and Leisure way yes they are nice but still not at level of AS. Hoping a Grech is as good in person as looks in the videos. On AS side they probably build way more vans than Grech…..so how many come off the line with major issues….percentage for each manufacturer.
