Love everything about this basecamp. Had mine for almost a year and 10,000 miles plus 5 national parks…no complaints, worth every penny! Headed out for my next five this summer and fall.
Just finished first night at Colonial. Can not say enough about our positive experience. From receptionist, parts dept, Randy, Kevin, Kyle, Steve, Nick, and of course Patrick. Worth the trip, unit worth every penny. First class operation. Thanks again !!
@Sonja, as someone who hasn't ventured into the "camping/travel trailer" world, YET who likes "all things space-related", I ♥how this trailer is a bit like a space capsule! ^_^ The rear entry door really set it off. I was wondering why there wasn't a small set of steps for that door. Everything inside is fairly "tight" except the bed of course. I'd have to also place a spin-around stool in the kitchen. A lot of things were clearly a bit down-scale from some of the larger and longer Airstream trailers in Patrick's other videos. In this trailer I also liked the many "press & release, press & latch" doors on many of the compartments. I think I would like the bed to be simpler than having all of those different pieces to assemble/disassemble. I don't even need a bed so large. I could just move the backrest cushions & sleep on either of the benches. I'm also not a fan of those particular tables, I think I'd like a larger, single-piece table.
It would be so perfect if the windows wrapped all the way around where the bed is, and if there was a moon window above the bed so you could stargaze. I appreciate the large windows in the cook area, but I feel like more time is spent in the bed/table area, so it would be so nice to have large windows to enjoy the scenery while working or just laying in bed. Thank you for the super detailed walkthrough!
If your adventures take you even farther off the beaten path, the Basecamp X-Package adds more rugged features to make you ready for just about anything you find along the way. The package includes Goodyear® Wrangler® tires and black shadow wheels, plus a 3″ lift kit and a raised hitch jack foot pad for even more road clearance. Stainless steel rock guards and a solar window guard also keep the trailer looking good, even if you put it through the wringer.
Hi Patrick, my tow vehicle is a Hyundai Santa Cruz which has a 5,000 lbs. towing capacity and a hitch capacity of 500 lbs. Which is a better fit for towing, the Bambi 16 or the Basecamp 16?
@@colonialairstream I have but that's just a B+ class which is still to me a Van. It has a Murphy bed instead of a bedroom Maybe it's just because it's twice as expensive as a regular RV C class to make , So they wouldn't sell as many, They are really nice but those are made more for just couples
@@colonialairstream thanks. That’s the part is really don’t understand. If my tongue is maxed at 350, how do you “keep the hitch weight down?” I guess I just don’t really understand the towing science behind how a weight distro hitch works. 🤣🤷🏻♀️
Can airstream place bunk beds in a base camp over the bed area? This would be perfect for a small family. Great video Patrick. Edit. I just saw the base camp 20x !
Same old comment - this is 2022 and a 300Ah Lifep04 battery costs $1100. This should be standard. I'd still buy it to tow behind my Promaster - If I win the lottery...
Kim, there are different types of lithium battery technologies. The RV's mostly use LiFePO 4 which can be used in cold temperatures and also have heat so they can be charged when below freezing.
In my opinion, for the price, all the after market and add ons should be included. Upselling for small accessories at that price point, is ridiculous and insulting.

Glad you enjoy it.
Love everything about it. Except the price.
Thank you for the feedback and for watching!

Good stuff, thank you very much for your business.
I love this Airstream. The customer added some great options!
We agree!

Another classic Patrick Production.
Thank you John.
As always nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video. Very informative Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I love my Basecamp!
Good choice.
I would say it's time for a lightweight plywood doors on the cabinets now
Patrick, it looks like you got a promotion to Brand manager-congratulations-well deserved.
Thank you Bill, same position, new title.
New title better come with better $$
Great video.
One take sequence shot.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice job Ray, I mean Patrick......
Ha
I honestly have no desire to ever camp or have a camper, but your video's are so interesting! All the stuff you have to know...
I appreciate that!
This will always be my favorite camper
Sweet
At first I thought I had clicked on the wrong thumbnail and was watching some sort of fashion shoot until I recognized you, Patrick. 😂
Hello welcome back to Colonial Airstream.
Hi Patrick I like airstream also.
Cool 👍
Colonila!hiya!, wow-you created breathtaking content~ goodbye!~😊
😊 thank you
Could a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport (2-door) tow the 16X Bascamp?
Jeep did not engineer that vehicle to tow something this size.
What is the difference between the 16 in the 16 X thanks

Thumbs up for the intro alone
Glad you enjoyed it.
He's gone Hollywood on us.
Hi Patrick, my tow vehicle is a Hyundai Santa Cruz which has a 5,000 lbs. towing capacity and a hitch capacity of 500 lbs. Which is a better fit for towing, the Bambi 16 or the Basecamp 16?
Also, my toe\w vehicle OCC is 1,411 lbs.
The Basecamp 16X would be the best for your vehicle.
Does air stream ever make a large size vehicle type RV like a C class? All i ever see are travel trailers and vans
Have you seen the Airstream Atlas yet?
@@colonialairstream I have but that's just a B+ class which is still to me a Van. It has a Murphy bed instead of a bedroom Maybe it's just because it's twice as expensive as a regular RV C class to make , So they wouldn't sell as many, They are really nice but those are made more for just couples
I like. It. Which is better deal for this one or bambi? For the price
They are both great values for the buyer that determines which style and function will work best for them.
Can you get an awning?
it has an awning rail so you can purchase whichever awning you would like to that is on the aftermarket.
With all the extras that you talked about what does the base camp cost at that point?
The Basecamp 20X can range from 65,000.00 to $72,000.00 for 2023 with all factory options and many aftermarket accessories.
What do you think about Jeep Wrangler 4dr towing the 16X?
It is rated to tow a max of 3500 lbs, Its doable if you keep the hitch weight down.
@@colonialairstream thanks. That’s the part is really don’t understand. If my tongue is maxed at 350, how do you “keep the hitch weight down?” I guess I just don’t really understand the towing science behind how a weight distro hitch works. 🤣🤷🏻♀️
Another great vid! Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
What make and model is the demco hitch lock?
We sell them through our store. parts@colonialrv.com
This is my favorite airstream
Nice
Can airstream place bunk beds in a base camp over the bed area? This would be perfect for a small family. Great video Patrick.
Edit. I just saw the base camp 20x !
I was going to say, check out the 20X.
Patrick you are well informed. Good job.
Thank you Thomas.
Patrick, will Airstream be a Hershey this year?
Yes.
All about the Patrick.
Thanks for the support.
She's a beaut
Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestion.
Top tier walkthrough, thanks
Glad you enjoyed!
You do a great job.... Keep up the good work....
Thanks, will do!
Great presentation as always 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Love it!!
Glad you like it!
🚶♂️A great job Patrick. A very nice caravan indeed.
Many thanks!
Why do they insist in only giving 6'3 inches of headroom. Taller people are like wtf
This is just one model. There are other small Airstreams with 6'7" headroom.
Don’t lithium have problems that become permanent with exposure to extreme cold?
$1,000 for a backup camera? Really?
Kim, there are different types of lithium battery technologies. The RV's mostly use LiFePO 4 which can be used in cold temperatures and also have heat so they can be charged when below freezing.
impressive!
Glad you enjoyed it.
42? it's at 46 now...dang.
New features added.
❤
Thank you, Heather.
Can you just sleep on the narrow sofa
Yes, some do.
Could damn near live in that thing full time…
Thanks for looking.
Way to expensive
Thanks for checking it out, sorry its not within your budget. We do have many used small Airstreams in stock.
In my opinion, for the price, all the after market and add ons should be included. Upselling for small accessories at that price point, is ridiculous and insulting.
You don't have to add any of the items mentioned, not many people do but it was nice to show the possibilities.
