Wonderful video. My mom and dad had an Airstream from 1978 until 2010. Dad was an aircraft mechanic from WW2 days and in the aviation industry for years and loved the design. They took their various Airstreams from coast to coast, Alaska three times, and Canada on numerous trips. They spent at least 6 months a year on the road. Dad and his friends, many who were engineers were constantly working to improve their Airstreams. Every year, they would visit with the Airstream engineers and give them their suggestions. He said the Airstream people were always attentive and took notes. I am amazed at the engineering of this product and how they think of virtually everything. Great job showing the features of this Airstream.
Patrick is always doing the best Airstream videos out there. We always learn so much from him. Really thorough video as effortlessly goes thru every area & item explaining & pointing out valuable information. Simply the best!
I love that you let the customer spend one night there to test out their new airstream and iron things out the next day if necessary. What a great idea!
This might be my new favorite floor plan. Been looking at options for “working from home” while seeing America. Airstream is doing good work here! Thanks for the great review, Patrick!
Yea, I work for a large hi-tech and spend about six to eight months on the road in a 2020 International 27FB with a rear hatch and I had a desk area added in the same area with a large motor driven elevating monitor. I have several high throughput WiFi rv parks mapped out around the country. Usually park Sunday night or Monday morning for the work week and then pack up Friday night and hit the road to the next destination. Usually MT, SD, ID, WA, OR and Canada in the summer, East coast in the fall. FL, TX, AL, LA, SC in the winter
Than you, again, for another walk-through tour of an Airstream. When it comes to setting up and breaking down camp, we always allow enough time to be intentionally slow and deliberate. For me, that means using the Airstream supplied tool meant for the purpose of lowering and raising the stabilizers. To do so gives me a chance to kneel down and examine, from a different vantage point, the wheels and anything else within view. Thank you for making us--we who are Airstream owners--all the more proud and appreciative of our units.
This is my dream home. Waking up to the smell of fresh mountain air, making Patrick his morning coffee and sitting at the dining table, rear hatch open, screen down and talking about our next destination. lol, we all have a dream.
Patrick is PRIMO!!! What a great presentation as always. Great to see a salesman that really knows his product......what a great product this is! This model is my dream!
Dear Airstream, A few things: 1. Beds are not used in the day time, so let's have an option to move (or fold) one bed to the other one and use that space for the office. 2. Shower is the least used space and can be collapsed when it is not used. 3. Security camera on all four sides. 4. Cool LED strip lights under the trailer.
The production quality on your videos has improved in ways I wasn't expecting since I last saw them a few years ago. Very well done, thank you for all your hard work
I like watching and listening to RV videos. The way you explain things and add that extra information like techniques, etc. - Best RV/trailer explanation I've come across "liked and subscribed"
I liked the 2003 CCD 22 International a lot. It took Airstream a lot of time to bring back a model with a desk for work. First the 33 Classic and now the 25 Flying Cloud. It seems the 25 FC addresses most, if not all, of the problems of the CCD 22.
Can a PackNPlay fit on the dinette in bed mode? What if I deleted the desk and converted that lounge into a bed, would a PackNPlay fit there? Thinking about going from a teardrop to something with more space
Oh wow, I could tow this with a 2020 Chevy Colorado (towing package)! That is awesome! I want! I want! This is the best model in my opinion. Thanks for these high quality videos sir.
@@VoltedSoldier though a F-250 is ideal for towing most anything, it is also overkill and much more than necessary for this trailer. The 25 footer is easily towed with a F-150, been doing it for years. I’m not sure about a Chevy Colorado towing this 25’ but i know it can tow the 23’Airstreams just fine.
The one thing I don't care for is the burner grates. Even at home I have solid grate across all the burners - pots can be slid around w/o tipping. The best thing I do like is the rear hatch. Parked at a lake - awesome!
Patrick, will your dealership install a beefier solar/lithium package? I would like 3 Li's in the front compartment with a Multiplus 3000 inverter/charger. Thank you.
Can you buy a stripped out version of this? Like basically just the frame, axels, and stainless shell? I love the size and the back door and it being stainless, it’s just way too expensive for how it’s furnished out.
Hi Patrick, do you have to stow the dinette legs and table before towing or can they remain in place? I think on the FBQ the table stows underneath the bed correct?
Dito on the solid state batteries... 3000w inverter and full solar panels... one going this high end... go all the way. I would also split the back gate... top and tailgate, small patio with steps and a place to sit or eat outside.... maybe even a full screen... add functionality ...
My har lipped cousin would be good at this, especially when he has to say Buck Rivet. But Patrick does the best job at going into great detail on the Airstreams.
@@colonialairstream Thank you! About how many hours can the generator power the AC? We are concerned about leaving our dog alone in a vehicle that could get overheated in hot temperatures.
You should upgrade your light fixtures because they look like old RV fixtures. A ceiling fan would have been nice. Someday they should build an airstream with a slide or a top extension
Nice review. You gave us a lot of good advice. Is there some type of checklist that is given when a customer purchase an Airstream so one can be assured all important tasks are completed prior to leaving for your next destination? Maybe one for the interior and one for the exterior? I can’t imagine remembering everything all of the time without some sort of checklist. Even for people who do this all of the time.
Love it! I want a Basecamp as my son has a Toyota Tacoma off road, just for us all to have a little fun! But we live in SoCal a bit too far away from you, but thank you for these great inspiring videos! 👍⛺️🏖😍🌞🥰😃
Patrick -- Can a generator be added to the area between the protein housing and the body of the camper? Or is there a better place where a generator can be added?
Patrick--how many feet are there from the posterior aspect of the second set of rear wheels to the back bumper? I ask because this will be (could be) parked on a 21' concrete pad, the rear overhanging. Also, what is the wait time for such a trailer? Thank you. Nick
Hello Patrick. I’ve had a look at your website and a lot of trailers are listed as ‘pending’ or ‘inbound’. What’s the difference? I get the impression your lot is almost empty as few trailers are ‘in stock’! Additionally, can you sell to Canadians? If so, how much paperwork is required?
@@colonialairstream Great but given a choice, I’d rather pick something from your lot - if there are any. 😁 So what is the difference between ‘pending’ and ‘inbound’?
@@VJD-15 pending means there’s a contract written on that particular unit already working through the sale process. Inbound means the trailer has been ordered from the dealership awaiting delivery from the factory. At this time, there are very few units ‘in stock’ anywhere throughout North America. Cheers
Pat -- With regard to the solar and tank controls on the wall over the gally, not everyone has eyesight that is good enough to permit observation from the spot where you are standing in the video. For example, I (as someone with low vision) could never read those displays unless my eyes were no more than 3 inches away. Other than climbing into the sink or contorting myself in a manner that would probably hurt, do you have a solution for me?
Well, that is obvious. I suppose what I am asking is if this is work that can be done at your dealership or would I have to make such a modification a special order from the factory?
Maybe Airstream can look into rinsing the black tank after emptying with the gray tank. And for good measure still spray rinse the black tank afterwards. Hope to stop in soon. My sister lives in Mercerville. I live near Syracuse NY
Thank you, Patrick, for the detailed walkthrough. I feel like replacing my 2020 with the newer model primarily for the standing desk and bunk bed. Does this model still support sleeping six people? We're a family of 6 and I feel that I might have to upgrade to the 27'-30' to get the standing desk.
Hi Patrick. Wonderful video as always. Thanks a bunch! Quick question: Is there space behind the breaker panel to install a progressive industries EMS or is there a better location that it fits?
Thanks for the video, Patrick. As always I enjoy watching your informative videos. I will eventually buy a 25 or 27 FBQ International or Globetrotter and I'm excited about the 2022 that has a desk and the condenser driven refrigerator. Pls do a 25FBQ walk-around someday. Why a Queen and not a Twin? Any couple that has and active sex life can tell you. Thanks again.
I love this!!! Is it possible to get the desk in the 27' hatch & bunk optioned model? That would make it a perfect home for me :) Edit: it seems like I asked too quickly as you do say it is an option for the 27' but I would still like to verify that all three things can be optioned on the 27'
I Love this trailer the hatch ,bunk,desk I considered trading my Flying cloud for this NEW one however I’m mad as hell Airstream removed the outside Light you expect me to open canopy just to have light on REDICULOUS. Keep flashlight handy to get into trailer on DARK NIGHTS. Airstream to cut corners on this part could have positive repercussions this is dangerous for those with disabilities

Much appreciated!
Nobody and I mean NOBODY does a walkthrough better than Patrick! His own channel is pretty good too.
Thank you very much.
Really like the layout. Airstream needs to stop up to lithium and better solar though! There's enough room up there for at least 600W
There are several models that Airstream makes that include Lithium and more solar, standard.
Yes, I have 600W on the top of my International 27FB with 3,000w inverter and 4 - 110AH LIs
I love that you let the customer spend one night there to test out their new airstream and iron things out the next day if necessary. What a great idea!
Always!

2. Shower is the least used space and can be collapsed when it is not used.
3. Security camera on all four sides.
4. Cool LED strip lights under the trailer.
Interesting ideas, thanks for sharing.
Mate you might want all that but Airstream will never do that because most people don’t want it. Add the lights yourself
The production quality on your videos has improved in ways I wasn't expecting since I last saw them a few years ago.
Very well done, thank you for all your hard work
Wow, thanks!
Another excellent presentation Patrick. Airstream itself should hire you as brand spokesman. Very informative. Thank you!
Wow, thanks!
Airstream made a reallly nice trailer. Thanks Patrick and Colonial RV Team! Canadian Airstream fans !
Our pleasure!
Wow! Fabulous!!!!
Patrick, no one can give a guided tour of an RV like you can. Excellent vid.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is my future fulltime home; Can't wait; my grandson is going to love the bunk. Love it!
Sounds like a plan.
Another awesome airstream trailer video by Patrick!

Can a PackNPlay fit on the dinette in bed mode?
What if I deleted the desk and converted that lounge into a bed, would a PackNPlay fit there?
Thinking about going from a teardrop to something with more space
You are welcome to come and visit and measure. If the desk wasn't there, you would see there is a wheel well and furnace ducting behind it.
Oh wow, I could tow this with a 2020 Chevy Colorado (towing package)! That is awesome! I want! I want!
This is the best model in my opinion. Thanks for these high quality videos sir.
Glad you like it! This is not compatible with a Colorado.
Are you serious? Lmao....you are going to need a 3/4 ton truck with towing package. F250, dodge 2500 etc
@@VoltedSoldier though a F-250 is ideal for towing most anything, it is also overkill and much more than necessary for this trailer.

Why is there always so much overhang of the mattress? I love it all and the beds are comfy but I always feel like I’m rolling off.
In previous years customers would mention that they would bump their shins into the overhang.
I love this!!! Exactly what I want. Maybe in 2023...thank you for an amazing video
Glad you enjoyed it!
So glad to hear about that OVEN, because Cooking Classes are my hobby!!!
It's so good!
Love the bunkhouse.

Patrick, will your dealership install a beefier solar/lithium package? I would like 3 Li's in the front compartment with a Multiplus 3000 inverter/charger. Thank you.
Yes and yes. We have a service aftermarket department that can assist you with the modifications once your factory order arrives.
Nice thorough tour--thank you!

Nice counter space in the kitchen area, and I like the large retractable screen.

Glad you like them!
Hi Patrick, do you have to stow the dinette legs and table before towing or can they remain in place? I think on the FBQ the table stows underneath the bed correct?
It is best practice to tow the trailers with the table in the down position with the cushions on top.
Dito on the solid state batteries... 3000w inverter and full solar panels... one going this high end... go all the way. I would also split the back gate... top and tailgate, small patio with steps and a place to sit or eat outside.... maybe even a full screen... add functionality ...

Ya'll do the best Airstream videos. Very good.
Thank you very much!
My har lipped cousin would be good at this, especially when he has to say Buck Rivet.
But Patrick does the best job at going into great detail on the Airstreams.
Couldn't agree more
You are a great host. Your walkthrough was very informative. This trailer model is exactly what I am looking for. Additionally, I like your shoes 😉.
Awesome, thank you!
Best walk-around video I've seen
Thank you very much.
Can you clarify if the microwave and the AC can run off the battery or if they only run off the generator when not plugged in to shore power?
The microwave and air conditioning do not run off the battery. You would need to be plugged into shire power or a generator.
@@colonialairstream Thank you! About how many hours can the generator power the AC? We are concerned about leaving our dog alone in a vehicle that could get overheated in hot temperatures.
Great presentation as always! Oh what a great floor plan! Does the 27 have more counter and closet space and the desk option?
Yes it does!

Patrick -- Can a generator be added to the area between the protein housing and the body of the camper? Or is there a better place where a generator
can be added?
Some customers have added DIY brackets so they can add a generator between the LP bottle cover and the body.
Hi Patrick, when ordering an Airstream can you remove things like the tv and audio system?
They would have to be removed aftermarket.

The only thing I wish airstream,well a couple of things , had was a true 4 season package, with the hot water heat system,I’d pay for that
Thanks for the suggestion.
It encourages one to move south for the winter. 😀
Concur! I loved my rvs heated basement where all tanks were good in very cold weather
Yes I agree! Four season package is good for cold mornings and those hot, hot afternoons!
Excellant presentation!
Thank you kindly!
Thank you, Patrick, for the detailed walkthrough. I feel like replacing my 2020 with the newer model primarily for the standing desk and bunk bed. Does this model still support sleeping six people? We're a family of 6 and I feel that I might have to upgrade to the 27'-30' to get the standing desk.
Glad it was helpful! With the bunk and desk it would work for up to 5 people.
Love this floor plan
Us too!
love the twin beds that is awesome
Me too
I am curious how the aluminum exterior holds up to hail.
It can ding but I haven't seen it split and splinter like the fiberglass trailers can.
Hi Patrick. Wonderful video as always. Thanks a bunch! Quick question: Is there space behind the breaker panel to install a progressive industries EMS or is there a better location that it fits?
Yes, in the compartment behind it.
Can you get an bunk over the queen bed or only the twin bed plan?
The bunk is available queen or twin.
Are the televisions smart tv's? Can I watch Netflix while camping?
Not on this mode unless you install an Apple TV or related device.
Can you get the loft with the queen bed option?
Yes, it will not have a ladder.
the flooring - is that the same as the old International Serenity flooring?
It is different.
Hi Patrick!
Hello David.
Very informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
Patrick, is there a lithium battery option for the Flying Cloud/Desk/Hatch/Bunk model?
If not, is there one in the works?
At Colonial, we install Battleborn and Lithionics Lithium batteries aftermarket.
Patrick, are you still a Senior Sales Consultant at Colonial?
Brand Manager is the official name.
... Time to call JC to find out how much to add the desk to my existing 2021 International FBT!
Thye may do it through service there.
I like it and the price seems good..are you still able to use the second home write off
In many cases an RV loans interest paid each year can be written off like a 2nd home.
That is one sweet trailer. Thanks for the review.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Does that have Air Frying in that combo microwave / convection oven?
It will vary depending on supply chain.
