    That’s how Airstream marketed its 1986 motorhome, and we recently had the opportunity to see one for ourselves. A 1986 Airstream 345 Motorhome is at Airstream of Greensboro for service, and the owner allowed Chad and Laura to take a tour. It has ample storage, inside and out, features that were state-of-the-art in 1986, plus some classic Airstream features we still see today. Do you think Airstream should bring back this motorhome?

    I would love to have one. Airstream should bring back. Maybe a little wider but I love no slides

    The fact that after nearly 4 decades most everything still remains relatively intact and operational is truly a testament to the quality and craftsmanship that was put in to these elite coaches.

    There's a family in our neighborhood that has one of these-it appears from time to time in front of their house. The first time I saw it I was dumbfounded-I never knew that Airstream made anything like that! It's an impressive-looking thing. So cool that you got to experience one.

    Great video and a beautiful motor home. But what struck me is when Chad said that it only has 230 hp and yet a brand new Airstream Atlas has only just over 200 hp which is obviously not enough. If Airstream does bring it back I would hope that it would be more reliable than their current motor homes. Interesting video thanks for sharing.

    • @ChadsRVReviews
      @ChadsRVReviews  Місяць тому

      But the Atlas has 332 ibs of torque! The new Atlas has great power and torque for it's size! If they ever did the 345 again, I think it would be on Ford F53 chassis that has the new Godzilla engine! It's 7.3L V-8 with 335HP and 468 ft-ib of torque!

      @@ChadsRVReviews Chad, I spent my entire adult life working as a railway mechanic and I know a thing or two about diesel engines, a little 2 litre four cylinder twin turbo high output engine is screaming to produce 200 plus hp, it’s not going to last. In regards to the Airstream 345, if they would bring it back with the chassis and engine you described that would be just awesome! We really enjoy your videos. Regards
