Funny thing, I used to hate the look of airstreams....Now they've really grown on me especially with how modern they've become. Looking forward to seeing what you eventually choose. Great video!
We felt the exact same way! When we bought Vinny we didn’t care for the looks of them. Now that we’ve toured the inside of many models, we’ve since changed our minds. As with ANY type of RV there are pros and cons, which make the decision process very tough. Thanks for watching Dean! 🧡😁🤓
Michelle, I cannot believe you drove by the best pies in Arizona and did not stop! The pie shop in Black Canyon City is 80 minutes from my home. We drive there to pick up a pie for all special occasions. Yes there that good!
THANK YOU FOR JUST BEING YOU. You two just seem so honest, your not trying to push products down our throats that you REALY don’t even use. The humor is by far the BEST in all rv videos. Have fun looking for your next rv.
You made her day! Super nice of you. I think Airstreams are beautiful and they certainly seem to last a longtime when taken care of properly. Hope you find what you are looking for. I think of Hailstorms too. Catchya next week! Thank you.
That was fun to do with them and it made our day also! Yes Airstreams are beautiful along with the quality. Hailstorms make us nervous in ANY type of rig or vehicle. See ya next week! 🧡😁🤓
Enjoyed this update😃👍🏼. Have you heard of the channel “LESS JUNK MORE JOURNEY” ? They share there experience traveling in various rigs since they began their full-time RV journey-:). One such rig was and Airstream, they also lived in a Class A, 5th Wheel. I highly recommend watching some of their videos. Also “KEEP YOUR DAY DREAM” u-tube channel, they just moved into an airstream. They started full time RV’ing with their three kids and they are now down to one traveling full time as the other two are in college or other training. Best to you on this challenging decision😃👍🏼
Thank you! 😊🤓 Yes, we have heard and watched pretty much all of them since we first started researching and used to follow every episode...until we got too busy with our own channel and don’t have the time anymore. We have even met quite a few of these other channels and become friends with a few of them. But hey...I’m sure they appreciate the advertisement you’re giving them. 🤪😂 Thanks for sharing.
LivinRVision Airstreams would be great for two-week camping, but wouldn’t cut it for full time RV life. A bit too tight inside there. Just watching the Kydd family and Charley struggle inside theirs after having Grand Design. My opinion is they should have stayed with GD!
I think it depends on the individuals living in them and what model they have. It seems to work out great for a lot of other couples that love the models they have. The 33’ has a lot of room and the bathroom is bigger than a lot of Class As or fivers. That’s the model we like the most but boy are they pricey, especially after factoring in the truck. 😳
Another great show thanks for our Saturday morning fix we have a 4 year plan to be out there with you. P.s. airstram you have to stop to use bathroom , just sayin lol
Thank you! 🧡😊🤓 Yeah, that’s probably the number one con of pulling a travel trailer or fifth wheel. It’s a give and take. Hope we meet up with you guys someday soon!
Another lovely tour, I am actually from Prescot in the UK and pronounce it as it spells out "Press-cot". Be safe and keep your adventures coming to our screens.
Thank you! 😊🤓 That makes sense from what Michelle was saying in the video. “During the colonist overthrow of the British in Boston they changed the pronunciation to Pres-kitt to show their allegiance with the newly declared Americans.
Hi William! 👋 I was going to but we decided not to since it wasn’t that hot inside and they said it should be on shortly...which it was. We decided to open the windows and get some fresh air for a while. The fridge was fine because it switched over to propane. 👍🏻
Thanks for another well-done video. My advice stays the same: make NO decisions during this time or purchases. This is a season of waiting and evaluation of where we are ALL heading. I pray you make the right choice, at the right time, and the right choice for you. Some things we are entering into now will never go back to like before!
That was a nice surprise to your subscriber. In Whiskey, Arizona the Grumpy Sicilian, would have been interesting to see. I haven't made a Texas Sheet Cake in years. Wonderful video. Enjoyed seeing some newer Campers. I don't know, the twin beds were unexpected. 1st x to see that. Looking forward to spending another day with you next week! I hope you have a week as wonderful as you both are!
They are a very nice couple! The Grumpy Sicilian was a small pizza place, after showing the sign, that was the short view we showed of the inside. Wasn’t much to see. 😂 That 30’ Classic was beautiful! Love that color scheme. Aww Thank you so much Kimberly! 🧡😊🤓
I love Airstreams. We have a 5th wheel. My hubby and I were watching this video today and hubby commented that you two put on the best videos out of all of the different UA-camrs we watch. I agreed. We watch probably 40 to 50 different Full-Time UA-camrs and yours are the best. Keep the great videos coming.
😳😯 WOW, thank you for the kind words! We think there are a few others that do a very good job. We see all the flaws so it’s hard for us to see it that way...but thank you very much! 🧡😊🤓
I hope you find what you want. There isnt much left to choose from in the market it seems. Hopefully manufacturers will figure out how to work safely soon. Best to you both. Really enjoy your channel.
I understand the build quality of the airstreams, but I just don’t understand the craze of buying one. To each their own. Good luck in your future purchase. Enjoy your videos!
The craze is probably people either want the simplicity and quality of one or those that like the nostalgic look of them. When we bought Vinny, we always thought...”why would anyone want one of those!” Lol Now we’re beginning to see the 💡. 😂 We’re glad you are enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching Brent! 🧡😁🤓
There are people that love Airstreams and people that don’t understand them. They are designed and built to move, not to sit in a campground for months at a time. We love our Airstream, it’s well built, simple and has been problem free. IF we ever sold our 30’ flying cloud it would be for a 30’ classic. Happy shopping.
So glad to hear you like yours and it’s been problem free! The simplicity, good quality and easy travel are some of the reasons we are considering one. Safe travels! 🧡😁🤓
Really love seeing whiskey row… Imagine the outlaws and Cowboys drinking whiskey and shooting it out… Just think who traveled through there… Them were some days 🤠🤠
What a wonderful surprise for Holly! I know it has to be gratifying to see how you have inspired others to dream! Thanks for the wonderful videos you produce and for bringing us fun and adventures every week! I looked up the 33 foot Classic...it is perfection on a stick..I love it! The light colors (on the one I saw) made it look so big and bright! The desk is in a perfect spot too! Continued safe travels and good luck finding your new home! 😊
Thank you so much Tomi! Yes, we are humbled and so very grateful of our Visionary Gang! 🧡 We love to help and inspire others and provide a little information. Maybe throw some humor in once and awhile. 😜 Yes, the 33’ Classic is on our dream list. If we could just find one gently used and at a good price we would be in heaven! Take care and please stay safe out there! 😁🤓
Another great video - we always look forward to the weekend because LivinRVision has a new video. Love you guys and hope we get a chance to bump into each other when we are on the road from BC Canada after retirement (July 2021). All the best!
Nice hat, sir! Nice ice cream locations, Ma'am!! Whew....I can't believe another week has gone by. Oh my.....didn't you folks just spend countless hours on rig shopping a bit over a year ago? Hehehehe. Good luck in your hunt! Thank you very much for sharing your experiences in the Presskitt/PressCOT area. I see the comments are blossoming with both "must pronounce this way" options. Safe travels!!
@@LivinRVision Yes...and it seems to just be harder to look due to the sales being so great for RVs. Bleh. Oh...and I added whiskey row to my google maps for future reference!
Airstreams are very nice in this day and time RVs are in high demand as probably know I have seen where a couple of full timers have had to locate the RV they were looking for in another state and had to fly there to purchase it in order to find it
Hello! Thank you for showing us all the places you go. You do a wonderful job, like explaining the history of the pronounciation of the word “Prescott”. I find that stuff interesting. 😀
We had a new 2017 30 Classic. They worked out some of the bugs from our early ALDE installed units, and fixed the multiplex system. The space between the dinette and the reclining sofa is where I built a custom Desk/Workspace. I do like the new palette they are using. We visited Bay Area Airstream 3 days ago they had a 33 and a 30. if you want to see a quick vid of the 33, we did one at Alumapaloza on a pre-production model. Personally, we think 30 is the better of the two. Good Luck. Note: The Woodwork on Classics is not made in Jackson Center, there is a nearby shop that makes the cabinets. Nice family, they can do that workspace for you that matches.
Yep, that’s what we talked about doing on the 30’. That spot between the dinette and side recliner is pretty much the only place to put a desk without remodeling. We liked it as well, except for the bathroom. I myself could live with the 30.
@@LivinRVision When we spoke to the folks at the factory, they mentioned they made this bathroom so huge in the 33 to appeal to Class A owners? There were a few things that turned us off on the 33, (we considered trading in) . #1 - We don't live in the bathroom so for us that was too space, we would have wanted more living space. #2 The Projection TV? That seemed really weird, as in 1999 Tech! #3 Fewer windows, #4 more hitch weight, and #5 less cargo capacity. Things we would have changed in our 30 Classic. #1 Purchased the twin bed, (I know) but we could "visit". #2 installed a lift, we dragged our tail a few times on gas stations, and fire roads. Good luck, hope you find one that works for you.
Understand completely what you are saying. All things we of course have thought about and considered. The bathroom...well, that’s a big liking of the Mrs. I would rather have more living space also but hey...happy wife...you know the rest. 😉 I don’t personally care for the projector tv either HOWEVER, I also don’t like the alternative small TV in the 30’ or wall space availability to put a bigger TV. It’s all what each individual person or couple prefers and can live with. I do like the 30’ living area setup. At this point with the way the market is...it’s hard to say what we will go with. 😂
Awesome video! Thank you again for taking the time to join us for some wine! 🥂 I wish we had more time there to see more of the area! One of things we're looking forward to when we go full time and that’s having the time to relax and see all that an area has to offer! Best of luck with finding that Airstream you're looking for! (There's 3 dealers out here in SoCal...just saying 😂) So Awesome of you guys to take the time for your followers! (A lot of other channels don't do that!) 🍻
Thank you for inviting us to join you! Wish we could have spent longer there sippin’ wine with ya! Shhh, don’t tell Michelle’s boss! 🤣 Yes, it is nice to be able to spend a few weeks in an area and check out the places to see & go. Oh we may have to head over to SoCal and check out one of those dealers if we see a good deal! Take care you guys and stay safe!!! 🧡😁🤓
Just got back from our first camping trip of the year Vermont,New Hampshire Maine,Rhode island! Still love your humor and beautiful places you put up... wish we could’ve had a FaceTime video 😜🤙🏼🙏🏼 stay safe and god bless-that’s us on top👆🏼
LivinRVision amazing places in those states! We ate twin lobster meal in old orchard beach in Maine right on the beach and went to see the mansions in Newport Rhode Island. Amazing too see these places. Those mansions were unbelievable! There’s ppl from all states just driving up and down ocean drive just too see these mansions. I’ll be putting up pics and videos of them on IG if interested IG-noadventure2small
A truck 🤪 Just kidding 😉 Well, we want a particular electric truck WHEN it is available, BUT if we get and Airstream beforehand, then it would probably be the F250 or 350 until it comes out.
WHAT?????? FREE FRESH FUDGE! Slow down dem doggies!!!!!! Thanks for the info and correct pronunciation of P R E S C O T T. The Air Stream is beautiful...hope you find the one you want soon. I’ve never been to Watson Lake. Did you notice if boaters were out there or is it a fishing spot? Oh, what did Michelle spot with her little 👁????? She saw PIE 🥧!!!!! Nothing wrong with fudge AND pie!!! That was sweet of Ute guys to FaceTime your fan/viewer. A very thoughtful gesture ! 😇
We skipped the fudge and she went straight for the Texas Sheet Cake...then the pie at that location we drove by the next weekend. Lol We are so ready to find what we want but looks like we’re going to have to be a little more patient. 😊🤓
We absolutely LOVE our 27 foot Front bed QUEEN - Globetrotter AIRSTREAM. Looking forward to following your channel now that you’ll be part of the AIRSTREAM Family - ENJOY!! #16242 - TX
We plan to trade. There is one truck not available yet that is our first choice, so if we need a truck before it’s available then we’ll go with the F250 or 350.
@@LivinRVision It sounds like you have done your research by looking into a F250/F350. Are you going to go diesel? You will appreciate the extra power they have going up hills and the engine brakes.
Moved to Sun City West, Arizona 5 years ago and travel in our 40 ft motor home so we can relate to your travels...enjoy our hot July weather the mountains and sites are incredible! We ventured to Flagstaff July 25th to "explore" and went to the Crater around the same time. Love watching your adventures
Oh My Goodness! You didn’t stop for some of the most famous pie in the world.!? The store is one hundred years old! A fun store and great food! You missed out!🤷♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Airstreams are very nice, & I like the new color scheme. A bit pricey however they do have good resale value. If I were to trade in my class C for a TT it would be an airstream 👍🏻
Yeah, but it would be less than our 40’ pulling our tow than the 33’ with a truck. Plus we can get in more dry camping areas that you wouldn’t want to take a Class A.
I know we all think there is soemthing better than what we have but in truth something new isn't always better. What you have is one one of the best rigs going. Air stream are nice but I'm not sure you'll like it better in the end. I'll be interested to see. Love you guys!
You are absolutely right. Both of us being in our mid 50s we are very aware of the whole “grass isn’t greener on the other side” saying. The Class A is definitely pampering but again...it’s not our best option “right now.” Not for us. We are actually wanting to find something a couple years old, not new. Now, if a dealer were to give us a good enough deal...then you betcha! 😂 We bought the Newmar because we did our research and knew it was a good coach. We have a ton of reasons why we have decided to go this route which we have explained a few times below in the comments if you’d like to know. Like we’ve said many times...we’re not even 100% sure if it will be the Airstream. Inventory is low and the only 2 models we would even consider are the 30 or 33’ Classic. We wish the search was over! 😂 Thanks so much! 🧡😊🤓
It’s very hard to find the perfect auto, truck, camper, etc. It seems you always have to give up something to get what you want or need. Great Video Good luck
I’m sure there are different pronunciations around the nation. Just depends on where our fore-fathers were from that founded the townships determines how to pronounce it going forward. So interesting!
I love Michelles CLIFF NOTES version of “Prescut.” Lol I’ll make you a sheet came Michelle :). The Million Dollar question I want to know is: How will yall do laundry with an Air Steam? Great adventures guys! See y’all next week!
🤓 I love Texas sheet cake! 😋 Laundry...that is a good question. I can’t say we wouldn’t miss the flexibility and opportunity to do laundry anytime we want in our own rig. It would be a big adjustment of having to utilize the laundry facilities at campgrounds & resorts. However, if we need to give up something in order to help make other parts of our living easier and less stressful than so be it. Keep in mind, we haven’t bought an Airstream yet so who knows, we may still go with something else! 😂🤣 See ya next week! 🧡😁🤓
Airstream 33FB would be the way we would go IF we were going to get out of our Class A Country Coach. I'm surprised that Vinnie has such a small fridge and bathroom, we are in 40' too and have a double wide fridge and very large bathroom.
Yeah, Vinny has a large living area and the bedroom has extra storage space where the washer and dryer normally would go but the bathroom is smaller because that’s where they put the washer dryer in this model. (3960)
Depends on when and if we would get it. Now...F250 or 350...if we wait long enough, one of the fully electric/hydrogen fuel model truck that is coming out. Once we find the exact model TT we want, we would leave the unit there until we went and traded our car for the truck.
Great and enjoyable video ya'll! But, don't think I would want to downsize from a 40' class A to an Airstream. We love being able to pull in and park (especially if it's raining) and you're done. Good luck ya'll and safe travels! We are on countdown until full-timing (now 13 days to go)!
Enjoy your upbeat posts. I have had two airstreams in the last 3 years (one with a major water leak 26U) and the a very nice 2018 28 foot which worked out well. Upgraded to a 2019 newmar new aire motorhome all electric which we love but it is definitely more complex. Just a word of caution that airstreams have their problems as well. Be careful. Also the change in setup will be costly.
Agree, it will be a costly setup and yes, ALL RVs have their issues. I wouldn’t advise anyone to just jump in without doing their research. We’ve did our homework but we still are not 100% though. Appreciate your input with your experience. We’ve also talked to people with Airstreams that have never had any leaks. So it’s like any RV...you never know.
That would be so great! Keep an eye out where we are heading in advance (about three weeks out) and give us a shout if you see we are heading your way. 👍🏻😊🤓
Enjoyed the video as always. Your humor makes for good times and laughs. Obviously I missed a video or two, didn't know you were thinking of an Airstream. Why are you wanting to leave the Class A?
Thank you! 😊🤓 Well, many reasons. I think we touched on this a few times but there literally are many reasons that pertain specific to our own lifestyle. Michelle’s comfort level, ease of going places we want to go, ease of operating video equipment in a truck vs the motorhome (trust us on this one, it’s been a nightmare) 😂 Quality, less to worry about, holds value better...the list literally goes on. Does it have cons, yes but the pros outweigh the cons “for us”. 😊🤓
Thank you so much for the great explanation. Your reasoning and logic make good sense to me also. I think you will be much happier with an Airstream and I look forward to watching your adventures in it. Thanks again. John
Whiskey row looks great. But , pie, pie. PIE, there's PIE 🥧 ON THAT ROOF, ...and you didn't STOP, 😳, dang you....... well just had to settle for cake, waaaa, waaaa, . Airstreams are really nice and built good, top of the line, . Also pie 🥧 and ice cream taste better in an Airsteam, well that's what we heard 👂, stay save.
Having come from an AS to an SOB Moho, we won't tell you not to buy one. In fact, we'd advise the 33 if it fits your need, as it's a very good two person solution. However, AS built a new factory and is working through startup and capacity increase opportunities. Quality may be better in a couple of years. You should research, research, research. The plan might be to sell your coach while RV sales are hot, buy a tow vehicle (KYD Channel has an example), and burn some time until you buy your new home. Some folks play small ball while they learn and buy time. A Casita is a place to live. A rented storage space lets you keep important gear. Alternatively, an inexpensive trailer would keep your cost down while you wait for the right time. Maybe less trouble to keep Vinnie. Also there are opportunities to purchase used from someone who found their purchase to be unsatisfactory. Some care is needed to not end up with a lemon, but lots of issues just need to be worked through. Good luck with your search.
There’s a lot here that we agree with. We’ve followed Marc and Trish for over a couple years now. Understand what you’re saying. I’ve played this same game with cars and houses in the past. We do quite a bit of research but always open to suggestions as you never know what you may find out. We do have a plan but it also depends on how things fall together. Thanks so much for giving your advice from your experience. 🧡😊🤓
Just watched your video and was surprised you are considering a move from a class A to a trailer. Is your car big enough to pull a trailer or would you have to buy another vehicle? My husband and I full time in a Newmar Kountry Star, 39 ft with 4 slides. I wouldn’t go smaller because we also have to have desk space and plenty of storage. This rig is great for us. Good luck on your search.
Yep, we are considering a “trailer” 😂 An Airstream with a desk space...33’ Classic is “what we want” and looking for. Oh heavens no, we could not pull it with the car. Trading the car for a truck is the easy part. You can look and buy and deal with the truck trade after. We want to sell Vinny first though. I personally like the Class As but after going on almost 2 years now of full-time, we have figured out what is going to work best for “us”. We would not tell everyone that an Airstream is the way to go because it all depends on each and every person’s own personal lifestyle and how they are going to use it...which full time is only a part of the equation. Believe it or not, our UA-cam channel is a big part of that equation as well. The Classic 30 or 33’ are the only two that we would consider at this time. Glad to hear your Kountry Star is working well for you guys.🧡 Newmar’s are very well built! 👍🏻😊🤓
I know nothing about Airstream's until now. Not so sure about those twin beds! We sleep King and I'm sure could go down to queen. But twins?!? Hmmmmmmm............
Before we went full-time we always had a king bed and didn’t know if we could go to a queen, but now we love the queen ever since we had Vinny, the Class A motorhome. The twin beds we weren’t so sure about either but each person would still have just as much room if not more and it would be MUCH easier getting in and out of bed and walking through just to get into your night stands. It flows much better.
What do you do for money? Just curious. I see more and more people buying expensive vans having them rebuilt to their liking and going out on the road and I’m sure everybody’s not a millionaire, so for people like myself who live paycheck to paycheck, how can I do this?
Hi Peggy! That’s a great question. Have you checked out our video where we go over ALL of our expenses for a full one year? That will give you an idea where you can see what you need to change to make it fit your budget. You do not need to make a lot of money to do this. It’s like anything...it all depends on your expenses. Your RV you decide to live in and what you decide to do for where you stay. A Thousand Trails resale membership (like an Elite or VIP) allows you to save a TON of money. Most of their campgrounds/resorts are around the coastlines, but even with that...you save a LOT. Then you can afford to stay somewhere else once in a while or do some dry-camping. Be sure to add the “Trails Collection” add-on and also the RPI add-on. Some RPI locations only charge you $10 a night. We are not rich, we just felt empty where we were, so we just found a way to live a more exciting lifestyle than what we were. Hope that makes sense and helps. Just do as much research as you can. The video I spoke about above should really help you get a better idea though. Here is the direct link. ua-cam.com/video/JF__1MAMiG4/v-deo.html 🧡😊🤓
@@LivinRVision I will piggyback on this with my information, we retired we don't work we don't full time rv ,,,,we have a house in sun city Arizona 1974 build area by del webb really affordable for retirement and nice area, our rv is a bumper pull 28feet big tanks solar batteries this allows us to boondock and Arizona has many places probably the most but I looking at other states that has many places also. What people do for travel and relaxing is personal I see many going big then downsize, a trailer/rv is like a boat always something to fix remember the bigger the rv is the more cost and less places to camp . New isn't always the way to go research research research ask questions
Hay guys,iv heard you mention 5th wheels in the past you might want to check out grand designs momentum 353G the folks at changing lanes did a great review you might look at ,it ticks a lot of your boxes and is only 40ft....good luck with your next rv.
Thanks for the tip Brad! Yes we are also considering a 5th wheel as an option. We looked at some Momentum’s in that G-series before but not sure if it was that specific model. We will check it out! Thanks again! 🧡😁🤓
Watson lake is amazing! A little behind in watching your videos, partway through this one, still trying to figure out why you are in AZ in the summer! No matter what, wish I were doing the same thing. Ok, looking at Airstreams. Nice, but, my wife and I are currently having a bit too much togetherness these days in a house, can't imaging you downsizing.
Yes, Watson Lake is very pretty! Ha! We get asked that quite a bit lately but we are staying in an RV park full of other “likeminded” people. 😂 Keep in mind, all of Arizona is not the same temps. We started in Show Low which is where a lot of people from Phoenix go in the summer to escape the heat or even Flagstaff. It’s been pretty warm even where we’ve been staying which is considered Cottonwood but not really “in” Cottonwood. We are heading out tomorrow actually to our next destination which won’t show up on our videos for probably another 3 weeks. As far as the Airstream...keep in mind not everyone has the same wants and needs. One RV is not best for all. There are a lot of very happy people living full time in Airstreams, BUT we sure would like to go with the 33’ Classic which is a night and day difference compared to any other Airstream. Hard to say what we will get at this point. Inventory has been very low. RVs are selling fast! Stay safe! 😊🤓
Enjoy your videos. Your DP seems very nice and just wondering why you would go to a trailer vs MH? We have 40ft Monaco and pretty new to this. When are you coming to Northern California to explore? Love to get your reviews in my area. Be safe and Thank you
Thank you! 😊🤓 It all has to do with our own personal lifestyle. Where we want to go with it, how comfortable Michelle feels driving it, ease of taking video while driving, less to go wrong, better quality...there are MANY reasons that has been adding up as we have been full time for what will be 2 years this coming Thanksgiving. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the motorhome and would like to go with a Super C someday...but for now, the Airstream is very appealing to us. We will probably change again in the future, but for now that is what we have on our radar as first choice. Have you watched our videos when we traveled up the west coast? Those videos were about a year ago. Thanks and you be safe as well. 😊🤓
Just curious, what is you normally highway driving speed? By the way great channel, your facial expressions make the wife and I chuckle. Keep up the great work.
What did you think of the woven vinyl flooring? We're in the research phase of deciding, when we want to get on the road and if we want an Airstream or a Class A. There are mixed reviews on the Airstream flooring. Also, deciding between the 30' vs 33'?Worried about the length restrictions at State and National Parks. We're enjoying following you guys on your journey!
The flooring was something we didn’t even really notice, so I’m guessing it would be fine. The 33’ Classic is definitely much more roomy in the bathroom, bigger closet for clothes and the 33’ vs the 30’ would be about the same as far as getting in National Parks. We never tried staying IN a NP yet, because we need cell phone service for work. We always stay within driving distance from a NP and visit that way by auto. We hope to stay at a few sometime though. Thanks so much for following our channel! 🧡😊😁
@@LivinRVision Thanks so much for your quick response. We love your channel and anxiously await your Saturday releases - my husband and I are on pins and needles waiting to see what you two end up in after Vinny.
Man, I love the Airstream! I would give my left arm for one!! JK:) I have a 5th wheel bunkhouse right now. It's spacious and good size for our family. Hope you find what you are looking for. The Classic '33s are a dream!!
You said on another video when you sold your dolly. That you get nothing for trade in. Are you selling your motor home and if so how much and what year is it
I know...but then again, every time I look at anything else I think of all the things that will go wrong more-so than an Airstream. 😂 And they should hold there value better. Who knows though...it’s not a good time yo buy, so hard to say if we’ll change our minds. 😂
@@LivinRVision its a gamble nowadays with buying anything quality, engineering manfucter sometime buying used a unit is ok if it wasn't used to much and sadly the owner passed, check out sun city used rvs on grand Avenue (hwy 60 )
Because it will fit OUR needs better. If it were because of cost, we’d get something cheaper than an Airstream. They are not cheap that’s for sure. But I still love the Class A, just not suitable for us “right now”. We’ve answered in more details in some similar questions below.
Really enjoyed todays video. We lived in Prescott (Preskit) for 10 years and moved 18 months ago to Utah, But we have sold the Utah house and will be traveling for a couple of years. Our RV style is changing from a Class C to an Airstream. Got a 27FBQ on order at Airstream of Las Vegas for Oct. delivery. Already go the tow vehicle, so we ready. I understand your enthusiasm for the Airstream. I also understand your disappointment about the availability. Let me know if you want to talk what tow vehicle to get.
Glad to hear! 🧡😊🤓 Would love to hear more about your experience at the Las Vegas Airstream. That’s one of the Airstreams we have been thinking about going to. It’s right down the road from the Thousand Trails there in Vegas. We have a tow vehicle in mind but it’s not being sold yet. Would love to chat more about it. DM or email us anytime.
👉🚐👍 I have to say the one thing I miss about our Dream was the big walk-in bathroom! 😕
🙋🏽♀️I love the airstreams!!
They have grown on us and now we do too!
Funny thing, I used to hate the look of airstreams....Now they've really grown on me especially with how modern they've become. Looking forward to seeing what you eventually choose. Great video!
We felt the exact same way! When we bought Vinny we didn’t care for the looks of them. Now that we’ve toured the inside of many models, we’ve since changed our minds. As with ANY type of RV there are pros and cons, which make the decision process very tough.
Thanks for watching Dean! 🧡😁🤓
Michelle, I cannot believe you drove by the best pies in Arizona and did not stop! The pie shop in Black Canyon City is 80 minutes from my home. We drive there to pick up a pie for all special occasions. Yes there that good!
We actually stopped there recently! Yep it was good!! 😋
MCPSAZ Yes They have the best Coconut Cream Pie at Rock Springs Cafe
@@jomale We are a blueberry crumb family.
Joan that is the one I had! It was really good. If I could have ate another I would have picked a fruit one. 😂
That sounds really good! We may have to stop again so I can try that one too! 😂🤣
Great video, can you say "FAN for LIFE", that was really fun to watch.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!🧡😊🤓
Totally fans for life! 👍😎
Aww thank you! 🧡😊🤓
THANK YOU FOR JUST BEING YOU. You two just seem so honest, your not trying to push products down our throats that you REALY don’t even use. The humor is by far the BEST in all rv videos. Have fun looking for your next rv.
Thank you, we appreciate that so much Nathan! 🧡😊🤓
You made her day! Super nice of you. I think Airstreams are beautiful and they certainly seem to last a longtime when taken care of properly. Hope you find what you are looking for. I think of Hailstorms too. Catchya next week! Thank you.
That was fun to do with them and it made our day also!
Yes Airstreams are beautiful along with the quality. Hailstorms make us nervous in ANY type of rig or vehicle.
See ya next week! 🧡😁🤓
Totally made her day. She’s still not over it. 😎
Great surprise for the viewers!
Airstream? Always quality. You get what you pay for (if you're careful) 😉👍
You are so right!
We owned 2017 26U and love it!
Enjoyed this update😃👍🏼. Have you heard of the channel “LESS JUNK MORE JOURNEY” ? They share there experience traveling in various rigs since they began their full-time RV journey-:). One such rig was and Airstream, they also lived in a Class A, 5th Wheel. I highly recommend watching some of their videos. Also “KEEP YOUR DAY DREAM” u-tube channel, they just moved into an airstream. They started full time RV’ing with their three kids and they are now down to one traveling full time as the other two are in college or other training. Best to you on this challenging decision😃👍🏼
Thank you! 😊🤓 Yes, we have heard and watched pretty much all of them since we first started researching and used to follow every episode...until we got too busy with our own channel and don’t have the time anymore. We have even met quite a few of these other channels and become friends with a few of them. But hey...I’m sure they appreciate the advertisement you’re giving them. 🤪😂 Thanks for sharing.
LivinRVision Airstreams would be great for two-week camping, but wouldn’t cut it for full time RV life. A bit too tight inside there. Just watching the Kydd family and Charley struggle inside theirs after having Grand Design. My opinion is they should have stayed with GD!
I think it depends on the individuals living in them and what model they have. It seems to work out great for a lot of other couples that love the models they have. The 33’ has a lot of room and the bathroom is bigger than a lot of Class As or fivers. That’s the model we like the most but boy are they pricey, especially after factoring in the truck. 😳
LivinRVision Yes, definitely...if it works for you two, that’s all that matters! 🌸😎❤️. Enjoy 😉!
Awesome video! The facetime call was so sweet. Blessings and safe travels. Sherry
Thank you Sherry! 🧡😊🤓 Stay safe.
O my gosh guess what popped up on My U tube airstream of south Florida showing the 33 Holy Moly BEAUTIFUL !
Yes Mary, it is very nice!! Would be nice if we could find a gently used one at a good price! 😁🤓
LivinRVision got my fingers crossed
Us too plus our toes! 🤣
Another great show thanks for our Saturday morning fix we have a 4 year plan to be out there with you. P.s. airstram you have to stop to use bathroom , just sayin lol
Thank you! 🧡😊🤓 Yeah, that’s probably the number one con of pulling a travel trailer or fifth wheel. It’s a give and take. Hope we meet up with you guys someday soon!
Another lovely tour, I am actually from Prescot in the UK and pronounce it as it spells out "Press-cot". Be safe and keep your adventures coming to our screens.
Thank you! 😊🤓 That makes sense from what Michelle was saying in the video.
“During the colonist overthrow of the British in Boston they changed the pronunciation to Pres-kitt to show their allegiance with the newly declared Americans.
Loved the airstream was so pretty..
That one was very pretty! 😊🤓
@@LivinRVision yes loved the counter top 😊
The hunt continues... dont settle
Agree, we have to keep our patience and continue to search. 🧡😁🤓
Thanks! Agree, when you settle is when you get yourself in deep.
I enjoyed the video and all the videos have a great time 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed the video!
see you there be safe have fun
Thank you and you too! 😊🤓
oh Enjoyed the day! Hopefully power has come back on and you're sitting in AC again.. thanks for the day trip & the adventure!
Just wondering...
Why not fire up the generator?
Glad to hear Nivasi! Yes, power came on about 15 minutes after that video portion was taken. Thanks! 🧡😊🤓
Hi William! 👋 I was going to but we decided not to since it wasn’t that hot inside and they said it should be on shortly...which it was. We decided to open the windows and get some fresh air for a while. The fridge was fine because it switched over to propane. 👍🏻
No,don’t leave your class A you guys are so 👏🏽 awesome.
Aww thanks Gregory! 🧡 Vinny has been good to us! 😁🤓
It is Presskit
Thanks for another well-done video. My advice stays the same: make NO decisions during this time or purchases. This is a season of waiting and evaluation of where we are ALL heading. I pray you make the right choice, at the right time, and the right choice for you. Some things we are entering into now will never go back to like before!
Good advice Vivian! Thank you! 🧡😁🤓
That was a nice surprise to your subscriber. In Whiskey, Arizona the Grumpy Sicilian, would have been interesting to see. I haven't made a Texas Sheet Cake in years. Wonderful video. Enjoyed seeing some newer Campers. I don't know, the twin beds were unexpected. 1st x to see that. Looking forward to spending another day with you next week! I hope you have a week as wonderful as you both are!
They are a very nice couple!
The Grumpy Sicilian was a small pizza place, after showing the sign, that was the short view we showed of the inside. Wasn’t much to see. 😂
That 30’ Classic was beautiful! Love that color scheme. Aww Thank you so much Kimberly! 🧡😊🤓
Glad you enjoyed Watson Lake and Prescott Area. I so enjoy your videos.
Thank you! 🧡😊🤓
Definitely get an Airstream!
We are leaning that way! 😊🤓
O thanks for making both of us laugh and smile! What's good for one, does not make it good for all! Thanks SAFE TRAVELS
😊🤓 That’s very true. Thank you and be safe!
I love Airstreams. We have a 5th wheel. My hubby and I were watching this video today and hubby commented that you two put on the best videos out of all of the different UA-camrs we watch. I agreed. We watch probably 40 to 50 different Full-Time UA-camrs and yours are the best. Keep the great videos coming.
😳😯 WOW, thank you for the kind words! We think there are a few others that do a very good job. We see all the flaws so it’s hard for us to see it that way...but thank you very much! 🧡😊🤓
Pie! Stop for pie! As always, I enjoyed the video.
That should be our motto! 😂 🤣
You guys makes some really good videos..We enjoy watching your adventure.
Thank you very much! 🧡😊🤓
I hope you find what you want. There isnt much left to choose from in the market it seems. Hopefully manufacturers will figure out how to work safely soon. Best to you both. Really enjoy your channel.
Thank you! There sure isn’t and it makes it not such a great time to buy (High demand). Glad to hear...Thank you so much Lisa! 🧡😊🤓
I understand the build quality of the airstreams, but I just don’t understand the craze of buying one. To each their own. Good luck in your future purchase. Enjoy your videos!
The craze is probably people either want the simplicity and quality of one or those that like the nostalgic look of them. When we bought Vinny, we always thought...”why would anyone want one of those!” Lol Now we’re beginning to see the 💡. 😂
We’re glad you are enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching Brent! 🧡😁🤓
There are people that love Airstreams and people that don’t understand them. They are designed and built to move, not to sit in a campground for months at a time. We love our Airstream, it’s well built, simple and has been problem free. IF we ever sold our 30’ flying cloud it would be for a 30’ classic. Happy shopping.
So glad to hear you like yours and it’s been problem free! The simplicity, good quality and easy travel are some of the reasons we are considering one.
Safe travels! 🧡😁🤓
Thanks so much for sharing the surprise special moment! You guys are the best and Holli is still freaking out a bit. 😬😎👍
You are both so welcome! We enjoyed our chat so much! Hope we can meet up sometime! 🧡😊🤓
You guys make me laugh out loud. I hope you soon find the rig you want. And I hope we see you on the road one day!
Laughter is very healthy! 😊🤓 Glad to hear that and thank you so much! That would be great, we hope to meet someday soon! 🧡
Really love seeing whiskey row… Imagine the outlaws and Cowboys drinking whiskey and shooting it out… Just think who traveled through there… Them were some days 🤠🤠
Love thinking about those days when going through areas like this! 😊🤓
Airstream are built well.
They really are.
Up till the laye 70s on the 4th of July in front of the Palace bar the road was solid beer cans from one side to the other every night for three days
Wowzers! That’s one heck of a celebration! 🍺 😁🤓
@@LivinRVision The 4th is also one of the oldest rodeos in the US so that added to the fun .Those were good times before madd mothers
What a wonderful surprise for Holly! I know it has to be gratifying to see how you have inspired others to dream! Thanks for the wonderful videos you produce and for bringing us fun and adventures every week! I looked up the 33 foot Classic...it is perfection on a stick..I love it! The light colors (on the one I saw) made it look so big and bright! The desk is in a perfect spot too! Continued safe travels and good luck finding your new home! 😊
Thank you so much Tomi! Yes, we are humbled and so very grateful of our Visionary Gang! 🧡 We love to help and inspire others and provide a little information. Maybe throw some humor in once and awhile. 😜
Yes, the 33’ Classic is on our dream list. If we could just find one gently used and at a good price we would be in heaven!
Take care and please stay safe out there!
😁🤓
Another great video - we always look forward to the weekend because LivinRVision has a new video. Love you guys and hope we get a chance to bump into each other when we are on the road from BC Canada after retirement (July 2021). All the best!
Oooh, you are down to a year, that’s exciting!! It will go quick. We hope we can meet up with you sometime!! Stay safe! 🧡😁🤓
Can’t wait to see what you decide on 😊
Neither can we! 😉
Nice hat, sir!
Nice ice cream locations, Ma'am!!
Whew....I can't believe another week has gone by. Oh my.....didn't you folks just spend countless hours on rig shopping a bit over a year ago? Hehehehe. Good luck in your hunt!
Thank you very much for sharing your experiences in the Presskitt/PressCOT area. I see the comments are blossoming with both "must pronounce this way" options. Safe travels!!
Yes, and we are so tired of the looking and deciding. This has been about the longest our patience has ever lasted lol
@@LivinRVision Yes...and it seems to just be harder to look due to the sales being so great for RVs. Bleh.
Oh...and I added whiskey row to my google maps for future reference!
Airstreams are very nice in this day and time RVs are in high demand as probably know I have seen where a couple of full timers have had to locate the RV they were looking for in another state and had to fly there to purchase it in order to find it
We are hoping that we won’t have to do that but it hasn’t been looking very promising.
A friend of mine went in to get some work done on her airstream. She said every unit on the lost had a sold sign on it!
We believe it. 😕
Hello! Thank you for showing us all the places you go. You do a wonderful job, like explaining the history of the pronounciation of the word “Prescott”. I find that stuff interesting. 😀
Hi Karen! Thank you for coming along on our adventures and thanks for the kind words! Glad you are enjoying! 🧡😊🤓
We had a new 2017 30 Classic. They worked out some of the bugs from our early ALDE installed units, and fixed the multiplex system. The space between the dinette and the reclining sofa is where I built a custom Desk/Workspace. I do like the new palette they are using. We visited Bay Area Airstream 3 days ago they had a 33 and a 30. if you want to see a quick vid of the 33, we did one at Alumapaloza on a pre-production model. Personally, we think 30 is the better of the two. Good Luck. Note: The Woodwork on Classics is not made in Jackson Center, there is a nearby shop that makes the cabinets. Nice family, they can do that workspace for you that matches.
Yep, that’s what we talked about doing on the 30’. That spot between the dinette and side recliner is pretty much the only place to put a desk without remodeling.
We liked it as well, except for the bathroom. I myself could live with the 30.
@@LivinRVision When we spoke to the folks at the factory, they mentioned they made this bathroom so huge in the 33 to appeal to Class A owners? There were a few things that turned us off on the 33, (we considered trading in) . #1 - We don't live in the bathroom so for us that was too space, we would have wanted more living space. #2 The Projection TV? That seemed really weird, as in 1999 Tech! #3 Fewer windows, #4 more hitch weight, and #5 less cargo capacity. Things we would have changed in our 30 Classic. #1 Purchased the twin bed, (I know) but we could "visit". #2 installed a lift, we dragged our tail a few times on gas stations, and fire roads. Good luck, hope you find one that works for you.
Understand completely what you are saying. All things we of course have thought about and considered. The bathroom...well, that’s a big liking of the Mrs. I would rather have more living space also but hey...happy wife...you know the rest. 😉
I don’t personally care for the projector tv either HOWEVER, I also don’t like the alternative small TV in the 30’ or wall space availability to put a bigger TV. It’s all what each individual person or couple prefers and can live with. I do like the 30’ living area setup. At this point with the way the market is...it’s hard to say what we will go with. 😂
Awesome video! Thank you again for taking the time to join us for some wine! 🥂 I wish we had more time there to see more of the area! One of things we're looking forward to when we go full time and that’s having the time to relax and see all that an area has to offer! Best of luck with finding that Airstream you're looking for! (There's 3 dealers out here in SoCal...just saying 😂) So Awesome of you guys to take the time for your followers! (A lot of other channels don't do that!) 🍻
Thank you for inviting us to join you! Wish we could have spent longer there sippin’ wine with ya! Shhh, don’t tell Michelle’s boss! 🤣
Yes, it is nice to be able to spend a few weeks in an area and check out the places to see & go.
Oh we may have to head over to SoCal and check out one of those dealers if we see a good deal!
Take care you guys and stay safe!!! 🧡😁🤓
@@LivinRVision thanks! Same to you guys!
Just got back from our first camping trip of the year Vermont,New Hampshire Maine,Rhode island! Still love your humor and beautiful places you put up... wish we could’ve had a FaceTime video 😜🤙🏼🙏🏼 stay safe and god bless-that’s us on top👆🏼
Oh we want to get to those states sometime! I bet you had a great time. Some beautiful places to see in this country! Safe travels! 🧡😁🤓
LivinRVision amazing places in those states! We ate twin lobster meal in old orchard beach in Maine right on the beach and went to see the mansions in Newport Rhode Island. Amazing too see these places. Those mansions were unbelievable! There’s ppl from all states just driving up and down ocean drive just too see these mansions. I’ll be putting up pics and videos of them on IG if interested IG-noadventure2small
Wow! Sounds amazing!!
If you get the Airstream, what will you pull it with?
A truck 🤪 Just kidding 😉 Well, we want a particular electric truck WHEN it is available, BUT if we get and Airstream beforehand, then it would probably be the F250 or 350 until it comes out.
@@LivinRVision KYD mark and Trish have a airstream theirs has bunks if you haven't seen theirs..
Yes we saw theirs. Very nice!
Wait for the glut of used in the next year or less bank on it
Sadly, that’s probably true. But patience is not our virtue. 😂😉
WHAT?????? FREE FRESH FUDGE! Slow down dem doggies!!!!!! Thanks for the info and correct pronunciation of P R E S C O T T. The Air Stream is beautiful...hope you find the one you want soon. I’ve never been to Watson Lake. Did you notice if boaters were out there or is it a fishing spot? Oh, what did Michelle spot with her little 👁????? She saw PIE 🥧!!!!! Nothing wrong with fudge AND pie!!! That was sweet of Ute guys to FaceTime your fan/viewer. A very thoughtful gesture ! 😇
We skipped the fudge and she went straight for the Texas Sheet Cake...then the pie at that location we drove by the next weekend. Lol
We are so ready to find what we want but looks like we’re going to have to be a little more patient. 😊🤓
I just subscribed to your channel. You guys are fun to watch and it is very educational to learn about RV's. Thank you.
Welcome to our channel! Glad you are enjoying! 🧡😊🤓
Good vid ya'll.
Thank you! 🧡😊🤓
We absolutely LOVE our 27 foot Front bed QUEEN - Globetrotter AIRSTREAM. Looking forward to following your channel now that you’ll be part of the AIRSTREAM Family - ENJOY!! #16242 - TX
We hope we will be part of the family, but it’s not a done deal yet. Thanks! 😊🤓
How are you going to pull the new trailer.Do you have a truck?Or are you going to buy a new one and what kind will you get .Truck to pull it.
We plan to trade. There is one truck not available yet that is our first choice, so if we need a truck before it’s available then we’ll go with the F250 or 350.
@@LivinRVision WOW Lot of power
@@LivinRVision It sounds like you have done your research by looking into a F250/F350. Are you going to go diesel? You will appreciate the extra power they have going up hills and the engine brakes.
Definitely a diesel. 👍🏻.
Be safe.
Thanks and you too Lawrence. 😊🤓
My hubby and I are getting the Airstream Classic 33 ft model in November. We are very excited!
Oh my goodness!! Congratulations! It is a beautiful rig for sure! 😁🤓
Moved to Sun City West, Arizona 5 years ago and travel in our 40 ft motor home so we can relate to your travels...enjoy our hot July weather the mountains and sites are incredible! We ventured to Flagstaff July 25th to "explore" and went to the Crater around the same time. Love watching your adventures
I wonder why Airstream stopped making rigs with slides?
Not sure. Maybe they wanted to keep it simple with less mechanical things that could fail.
Oh My Goodness! You didn’t stop for some of the most famous pie in the world.!? The store is one hundred years old! A fun store and great food! You missed out!🤷♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
You didn’t really think we would pass that up did you ?!! We actually DID make a stop there on another day! 😂 Wanna go back again too! 🤓
Airstreams are very nice, & I like the new color scheme. A bit pricey however they do have good resale value. If I were to trade in my class C for a TT it would be an airstream 👍🏻
They are very nice and streamline! 🧡😁🤓
33 foot is going to limit you on campsites sometimes. That 30 ft is the classic of them all.
Yeah, but it would be less than our 40’ pulling our tow than the 33’ with a truck. Plus we can get in more dry camping areas that you wouldn’t want to take a Class A.
I know we all think there is soemthing better than what we have but in truth something new isn't always better. What you have is one one of the best rigs going. Air stream are nice but I'm not sure you'll like it better in the end. I'll be interested to see. Love you guys!
You are absolutely right. Both of us being in our mid 50s we are very aware of the whole “grass isn’t greener on the other side” saying. The Class A is definitely pampering but again...it’s not our best option “right now.” Not for us.
We are actually wanting to find something a couple years old, not new. Now, if a dealer were to give us a good enough deal...then you betcha! 😂
We bought the Newmar because we did our research and knew it was a good coach. We have a ton of reasons why we have decided to go this route which we have explained a few times below in the comments if you’d like to know.
Like we’ve said many times...we’re not even 100% sure if it will be the Airstream. Inventory is low and the only 2 models we would even consider are the 30 or 33’ Classic. We wish the search was over! 😂 Thanks so much! 🧡😊🤓
It’s very hard to find the perfect auto, truck, camper, etc. It seems you always have to give up something to get what you want or need. Great Video Good luck
That is definitely true! Thank you! 🧡😁🤓
I live near Prescott WA. It’s Pres-cott, not Pres-cut here.
I’m sure there are different pronunciations around the nation. Just depends on where our fore-fathers were from that founded the townships determines how to pronounce it going forward. So interesting!
Laundry in Airstream?
Sadly no. Another con but it has been done before with remodels.
Kind of like Mesa Az and Mesa WA Maysa and Meesa
Yes! 😂
Morning guys where was this park , yes I'm following you all lol
Hi Gary! 👋 The park we left in the beginning of this video? That is Verde Valley RV in Cottonwood, AZ (A Thousand Trails).
Just Love you two!
Thank you for the laughs I just wish it could be twice a week or more
Aww thank you Mike! 🧡😁🤓
I love Michelles CLIFF NOTES version of “Prescut.” Lol I’ll make you a sheet came Michelle :). The Million Dollar question I want to know is: How will yall do laundry with an Air Steam? Great adventures guys! See y’all next week!
🤓 I love Texas sheet cake! 😋
Laundry...that is a good question. I can’t say we wouldn’t miss the flexibility and opportunity to do laundry anytime we want in our own rig. It would be a big adjustment of having to utilize the laundry facilities at campgrounds & resorts. However, if we need to give up something in order to help make other parts of our living easier and less stressful than so be it. Keep in mind, we haven’t bought an Airstream yet so who knows, we may still go with something else! 😂🤣
See ya next week! 🧡😁🤓
Prescott like biscuit 'Pres-kit!' Everyone knows when you say it wrong...
Yes they do 😂
Airstreams r nice n heard they have a life time warranty
Haven’t heard that one, that would be very nice.
Airstream 33FB would be the way we would go IF we were going to get out of our Class A Country Coach. I'm surprised that Vinnie has such a small fridge and bathroom, we are in 40' too and have a double wide fridge and very large bathroom.
Yeah, Vinny has a large living area and the bedroom has extra storage space where the washer and dryer normally would go but the bathroom is smaller because that’s where they put the washer dryer in this model. (3960)
Good afternoon guys what are you going to tow it with
Depends on when and if we would get it. Now...F250 or 350...if we wait long enough, one of the fully electric/hydrogen fuel model truck that is coming out. Once we find the exact model TT we want, we would leave the unit there until we went and traded our car for the truck.
@@LivinRVision sorry thought you might have found the one are you still hanging out in Arizona
No need to be sorry 😊
Great and enjoyable video ya'll! But, don't think I would want to downsize from a 40' class A to an Airstream. We love being able to pull in and park (especially if it's raining) and you're done. Good luck ya'll and safe travels! We are on countdown until full-timing (now 13 days to go)!
Oh my goodness, you are almost there!! Hopefully everything is going well. Please let us know once you’re on the road! Stay safe!! 🧡😁🤓
"Presskit" used to be pretty laid back, but it is a zoo anymore, especially since Prescott Valley exploded.
It did seem like the area was expanding. Still a fun place to visit! 🧡😁🤓
If you don't say "preskitt" they know you're a tourist. My old stomping grounds
We can see how that would be true...kinda like asking for a ‘pop’ in the south! 😂
sorry guys made comment before watching the whole video
No worries at all Lance! 😊🤓
Enjoy your upbeat posts. I have had two airstreams in the last 3 years (one with a major water leak 26U) and the a very nice 2018 28 foot which worked out well. Upgraded to a 2019 newmar new aire motorhome all electric which we love but it is definitely more complex. Just a word of caution that airstreams have their problems as well. Be careful. Also the change in setup will be costly.
Agree, it will be a costly setup and yes, ALL RVs have their issues. I wouldn’t advise anyone to just jump in without doing their research. We’ve did our homework but we still are not 100% though. Appreciate your input with your experience. We’ve also talked to people with Airstreams that have never had any leaks. So it’s like any RV...you never know.
I hope you one day make it to Charlotte,NC I would love to meet up over lunch on me.You guys are so awesome 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That would be so great! Keep an eye out where we are heading in advance (about three weeks out) and give us a shout if you see we are heading your way. 👍🏻😊🤓
I hope that dealer sees this video , and got the message on how they did not present their products to prospective buyers.
It was a different experience for sure.
If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.
Well...we’ll go ahead and admit it...that one went over our head! 😂😉
@@LivinRVision God gave us shins so we could find the trailer hitch in the dark.
😂🤣 Then you have that! 😂 Not sure that’s a deal breaker though. 😊🤓
How many slides does your camper have?
Three. One in the bedroom and two opposing slides in the kitchen living area.
Enjoyed the video as always. Your humor makes for good times and laughs. Obviously I missed a video or two, didn't know you were thinking of an Airstream. Why are you wanting to leave the Class A?
Thank you! 😊🤓 Well, many reasons. I think we touched on this a few times but there literally are many reasons that pertain specific to our own lifestyle.
Michelle’s comfort level, ease of going places we want to go, ease of operating video equipment in a truck vs the motorhome (trust us on this one, it’s been a nightmare) 😂
Quality, less to worry about, holds value better...the list literally goes on. Does it have cons, yes but the pros outweigh the cons “for us”. 😊🤓
Thank you so much for the great explanation. Your reasoning and logic make good sense to me also. I think you will be much happier with an Airstream and I look forward to watching your adventures in it. Thanks again. John
Thanks John 😊🤓
Whiskey row looks great. But , pie, pie. PIE, there's PIE 🥧 ON THAT ROOF, ...and you didn't STOP, 😳, dang you....... well just had to settle for cake, waaaa, waaaa, .
Airstreams are really nice and built good, top of the line, . Also pie 🥧 and ice cream taste better in an Airsteam, well that's what we heard 👂, stay save.
Well now that you say that, an Airstream it is!!! 🤪😂
Stay safe as well! 😊🤓
Have you been to Airstream in Tampa
We were there around February this year.
Having come from an AS to an SOB Moho, we won't tell you not to buy one. In fact, we'd advise the 33 if it fits your need, as it's a very good two person solution. However, AS built a new factory and is working through startup and capacity increase opportunities. Quality may be better in a couple of years. You should research, research, research. The plan might be to sell your coach while RV sales are hot, buy a tow vehicle (KYD Channel has an example), and burn some time until you buy your new home. Some folks play small ball while they learn and buy time. A Casita is a place to live. A rented storage space lets you keep important gear. Alternatively, an inexpensive trailer would keep your cost down while you wait for the right time. Maybe less trouble to keep Vinnie. Also there are opportunities to purchase used from someone who found their purchase to be unsatisfactory. Some care is needed to not end up with a lemon, but lots of issues just need to be worked through. Good luck with your search.
There’s a lot here that we agree with. We’ve followed Marc and Trish for over a couple years now. Understand what you’re saying. I’ve played this same game with cars and houses in the past. We do quite a bit of research but always open to suggestions as you never know what you may find out. We do have a plan but it also depends on how things fall together. Thanks so much for giving your advice from your experience. 🧡😊🤓
Just watched your video and was surprised you are considering a move from a class A to a trailer. Is your car big enough to pull a trailer or would you have to buy another vehicle? My husband and I full time in a Newmar Kountry Star, 39 ft with 4 slides. I wouldn’t go smaller because we also have to have desk space and plenty of storage. This rig is great for us. Good luck on your search.
Yep, we are considering a “trailer” 😂 An Airstream with a desk space...33’ Classic is “what we want” and looking for.
Oh heavens no, we could not pull it with the car. Trading the car for a truck is the easy part. You can look and buy and deal with the truck trade after. We want to sell Vinny first though. I personally like the Class As but after going on almost 2 years now of full-time, we have figured out what is going to work best for “us”. We would not tell everyone that an Airstream is the way to go because it all depends on each and every person’s own personal lifestyle and how they are going to use it...which full time is only a part of the equation. Believe it or not, our UA-cam channel is a big part of that equation as well.
The Classic 30 or 33’ are the only two that we would consider at this time. Glad to hear your Kountry Star is working well for you guys.🧡 Newmar’s are very well built! 👍🏻😊🤓
I know nothing about Airstream's until now. Not so sure about those twin beds! We sleep King and I'm sure could go down to queen. But twins?!? Hmmmmmmm............
Before we went full-time we always had a king bed and didn’t know if we could go to a queen, but now we love the queen ever since we had Vinny, the Class A motorhome. The twin beds we weren’t so sure about either but each person would still have just as much room if not more and it would be MUCH easier getting in and out of bed and walking through just to get into your night stands. It flows much better.
Please tell me you didn't consider buying those tin cans! Yeah, they are cool, but remember that hail...😉
😂🤣 Yeah, but you can say a lot of negative things about any RV. They each have their purpose for what each of us “needs”. 😊🤓
@@LivinRVision Yup! I wish you the best and looking forward to see your new rig!👍😉
Thanks! 😊🤓
We have hail damage in a non airstream too... we can't wait to get our airstream!
What do you do for money? Just curious. I see more and more people buying expensive vans having them rebuilt to their liking and going out on the road and I’m sure everybody’s not a millionaire, so for people like myself who live paycheck to paycheck, how can I do this?
Hi Peggy! That’s a great question. Have you checked out our video where we go over ALL of our expenses for a full one year? That will give you an idea where you can see what you need to change to make it fit your budget. You do not need to make a lot of money to do this. It’s like anything...it all depends on your expenses. Your RV you decide to live in and what you decide to do for where you stay. A Thousand Trails resale membership (like an Elite or VIP) allows you to save a TON of money. Most of their campgrounds/resorts are around the coastlines, but even with that...you save a LOT. Then you can afford to stay somewhere else once in a while or do some dry-camping. Be sure to add the “Trails Collection” add-on and also the RPI add-on. Some RPI locations only charge you $10 a night. We are not rich, we just felt empty where we were, so we just found a way to live a more exciting lifestyle than what we were. Hope that makes sense and helps. Just do as much research as you can. The video I spoke about above should really help you get a better idea though.

@@LivinRVision I will piggyback on this with my information, we retired we don't work we don't full time rv ,,,,we have a house in sun city Arizona 1974 build area by del webb really affordable for retirement and nice area, our rv is a bumper pull 28feet big tanks solar batteries this allows us to boondock and Arizona has many places probably the most but I looking at other states that has many places also. What people do for travel and relaxing is personal I see many going big then downsize, a trailer/rv is like a boat always something to fix remember the bigger the rv is the more cost and less places to camp . New isn't always the way to go research research research ask questions
Gary, great info! 👍🏻
Hay guys,iv heard you mention 5th wheels in the past you might want to check out grand designs momentum 353G the folks at changing lanes did a great review you might look at ,it ticks a lot of your boxes and is only 40ft....good luck with your next rv.
Thanks for the tip Brad! Yes we are also considering a 5th wheel as an option. We looked at some Momentum’s in that G-series before but not sure if it was that specific model. We will check it out! Thanks again! 🧡😁🤓
Watson lake is amazing! A little behind in watching your videos, partway through this one, still trying to figure out why you are in AZ in the summer! No matter what, wish I were doing the same thing. Ok, looking at Airstreams. Nice, but, my wife and I are currently having a bit too much togetherness these days in a house, can't imaging you downsizing.
Yes, Watson Lake is very pretty! Ha! We get asked that quite a bit lately but we are staying in an RV park full of other “likeminded” people. 😂 Keep in mind, all of Arizona is not the same temps. We started in Show Low which is where a lot of people from Phoenix go in the summer to escape the heat or even Flagstaff. It’s been pretty warm even where we’ve been staying which is considered Cottonwood but not really “in” Cottonwood. We are heading out tomorrow actually to our next destination which won’t show up on our videos for probably another 3 weeks. As far as the Airstream...keep in mind not everyone has the same wants and needs. One RV is not best for all. There are a lot of very happy people living full time in Airstreams, BUT we sure would like to go with the 33’ Classic which is a night and day difference compared to any other Airstream. Hard to say what we will get at this point. Inventory has been very low. RVs are selling fast! Stay safe! 😊🤓
Enjoy your videos. Your DP seems very nice and just wondering why you would go to a trailer vs MH? We have 40ft Monaco and pretty new to this. When are you coming to Northern California to explore? Love to get your reviews in my area. Be safe and Thank you
Thank you! 😊🤓 It all has to do with our own personal lifestyle. Where we want to go with it, how comfortable Michelle feels driving it, ease of taking video while driving, less to go wrong, better quality...there are MANY reasons that has been adding up as we have been full time for what will be 2 years this coming Thanksgiving. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the motorhome and would like to go with a Super C someday...but for now, the Airstream is very appealing to us. We will probably change again in the future, but for now that is what we have on our radar as first choice.
Have you watched our videos when we traveled up the west coast? Those videos were about a year ago. Thanks and you be safe as well. 😊🤓
Just curious, what is you normally highway driving speed? By the way great channel, your facial expressions make the wife and I chuckle. Keep up the great work.
I usually try to keep it between 62 - 64 mph.
Thank you! 🧡😁🤓
What did you think of the woven vinyl flooring? We're in the research phase of deciding, when we want to get on the road and if we want an Airstream or a Class A. There are mixed reviews on the Airstream flooring. Also, deciding between the 30' vs 33'?Worried about the length restrictions at State and National Parks. We're enjoying following you guys on your journey!
The flooring was something we didn’t even really notice, so I’m guessing it would be fine. The 33’ Classic is definitely much more roomy in the bathroom, bigger closet for clothes and the 33’ vs the 30’ would be about the same as far as getting in National Parks. We never tried staying IN a NP yet, because we need cell phone service for work. We always stay within driving distance from a NP and visit that way by auto. We hope to stay at a few sometime though.
Thanks so much for following our channel! 🧡😊😁
@@LivinRVision Thanks so much for your quick response. We love your channel and anxiously await your Saturday releases - my husband and I are on pins and needles waiting to see what you two end up in after Vinny.
We’re so glad you enjoy the vids!! Stay tuned...the big reveal will be coming up!
Man, I love the Airstream! I would give my left arm for one!! JK:) I have a 5th wheel bunkhouse right now. It's spacious and good size for our family. Hope you find what you are looking for. The Classic '33s are a dream!!
😂🤣 We’d love to have a fifth wheel as well, but for now we are hoping to make the Airstream work for our needs.
You said on another video when you sold your dolly. That you get nothing for trade in. Are you selling your motor home and if so how much and what year is it
2009 Newmar Ventana 3960 floor plan. You can find it on RVTrader. 99k
Airstream, WHY! --- No power. Crank up the generator to run A/C - Oh! Airstream doesn't have a generator. Good luck..
Yes, an Airstream is what would fit OUR needs. Most people buy a generator to use with their Airstream.
I love the look of an Airstream but every time I see one I can only think of hailstorms. Haha.
I know...but then again, every time I look at anything else I think of all the things that will go wrong more-so than an Airstream. 😂 And they should hold there value better. Who knows though...it’s not a good time yo buy, so hard to say if we’ll change our minds. 😂
@@LivinRVision its a gamble nowadays with buying anything quality, engineering manfucter sometime buying used a unit is ok if it wasn't used to much and sadly the owner passed, check out sun city used rvs on grand Avenue (hwy 60 )
Thanks for the tip Gary!
If the hail is large enough to damage your Airstream, it will damage your tow vehicle and do damage to other trailers as well.
Agree!
Question for ya, ...
you have a Class A Vantana and you want to go to a pullbehind. ..... Why?
Because it will fit OUR needs better. If it were because of cost, we’d get something cheaper than an Airstream. They are not cheap that’s for sure. But I still love the Class A, just not suitable for us “right now”. We’ve answered in more details in some similar questions below.
Well, I'll see you next week. Be weird if you see us.HaHaHaHa
😂 🤣 wait 🤔😳
Really enjoyed todays video. We lived in Prescott (Preskit) for 10 years and moved 18 months ago to Utah, But we have sold the Utah house and will be traveling for a couple of years. Our RV style is changing from a Class C to an Airstream. Got a 27FBQ on order at Airstream of Las Vegas for Oct. delivery. Already go the tow vehicle, so we ready. I understand your enthusiasm for the Airstream. I also understand your disappointment about the availability. Let me know if you want to talk what tow vehicle to get.
Glad to hear! 🧡😊🤓 Would love to hear more about your experience at the Las Vegas Airstream. That’s one of the Airstreams we have been thinking about going to. It’s right down the road from the Thousand Trails there in Vegas. We have a tow vehicle in mind but it’s not being sold yet. Would love to chat more about it. DM or email us anytime.
