2019 Airstream Sport 16RB Bambi Walk Through Travel Trailer Small Light Weight Caravan Camper

hello and welcome back to colonial

Airstream I'm Patrick Botticelli and

behind me is the all-new 2019 Airstream

sport baby 16 RB RB stands for rear

bedroom

this is extremely popular model for

inner stream that has been around for

many many years

a lot of owners that have one may have

come from another brand travel trailer

tent camping or even downsize from

something much larger but the trailer is

so cute and popular it'll fit right in

the palm of your hand next year length

is 16 foot 4 inches 2 foot wide an

exterior is 7 foot 7 inches into your

width 9 foot 3 is exterior height that's

our very top of the air conditioning and

an interior height which is the lowest

point at the air conditioning is six

foot four and a half inches the gross

vehicle weight rating is 3,500 pounds

but the natural weight the trailer could

possibly be before you overload it

the dry weight for options is 2860 the

hitch way that's a total weight and a

downforce on your trailer is 378 pounds

come on let's head right inside you're

gonna be surprised what erestrum we

could put in such a small footprint this

has a dinette that folds down into a 40

inch by 90 one inch bed so you can sleep

two adults or two children here if you

notice the dinette is up front and they

have a panoramic view you could see all

the way around so if you're sitting here

you can see out the side you can see at

the front you can see right behind you a

lot of people like that feature having

the dinette in the panoramic view and

this trailer features that the cabinetry

here is white Cypress so there's one

interior decor but you have choice of

two ultraleather you have tan or black

so there's your two choices each ultra

leather has its own color pillows that

comes with it so on the tan will be a

tan color a pillow with a blue dot in it

two burner cooktop automatic to a

refrigerant it's a three cubic foot

microwaves standard and the only option

available for 2019 is a solar charging

system so it's an 80 watt panel and they

upgrade the battery from a lead-acid

deep cycle to an absorbed glass mat deep

cycle that's at 12 volts series in the

kitchen area have a sink and storage

below there's a privacy curtain that

pulls across and that is so when you get

out of the bathroom you could get

changed in here and you don't have to

close all your blinds and there's a

wardrobe next to the bed you have

overhead roof lockers and there's

storage below the bed and it comes with

plastic bins they could pull through or

you could take them from the outside

also quite an entry door there's a dry

race board there's a coat rack here and

there's a drawer below the dinette now I

want to go over some of the more

specifics of this trailer and teach you

how some of the stuff works and a little

bit about how it's made this is aluminum

interior skin the aluminum interior skin

is the same skin that's on the exterior

next year is our buck riveted in place

the interiors are pop rivet in place

there's equal bad insulation in between

there's flex boil insulation

below the floor below the floor it's

wrapped up in aluminum so it's an

enclosed underbelly and you have heated

tanks so when you have your four side of

your furnace on that will duct air flow

down into your gray black tank and

circulates air around the tank to give

you a higher threshold protection for

cold weather camping your freshwater

tank is in the body so as long as you

have the room heated your fresh water

tanks heated as well there's aluminum

ribs and the rib structure runs

throughout and there's a steel chassis

below us and they put the shell onto

chassis and then they hand carry all

this furniture that's in this trailer

through this entry door so none of the

furniture has anything to do with the

structural integrity of the shell it's

just inside the shell it's a little bit

different than other manufacturers that

rely on refrigerator cabins wardrobe

cabinets and bed furniture to keep their

box from racking this is the owners bag

that comes with all the Airstream

trailers inside here is all the owner's

manuals for all the components in the

trailer as well as one from Airstream

and their chamois even throws in a

newbie guide to owning an Airstream the

table we talked about earlier folds down

into a bed it's a very easy procedure to

do just flip up these cushions like this

we're gonna do the same on the other

side this is snaps into the wall a

bolster so it doesn't roll around when

you're driving and the table lifts out

of cleats in the wall and then you push

this button and it snaps the leg up

table swings down lays on top of the

benches a lot of people think that would

make an uneven bed but air she already

thought about that

they make a thinner cushion here this

one's a little bit thicker it makes up

that gap gives you a more flush sleeping

experience and then this you could use

as a headboard to the bed

and there you go

so it's 91 inches across and then what

some people also do is they take some of

these extra cushions and lean them

against the wall and they make it into a

deep lounge you hear some more pillows

here lay them down you could use that

some type of a lounge and to bring it

back up it's a pretty simple task I just

hooked these backhoe with these velcro

strips lift them out of the way this

gives me a moment to show you how

they're made and all the stitching here

this is ultra leather from ultra fabrics

it's smooth it's non-porous and allows

your body to breathe and you could pour

things on it water beads up rolls right

off and you can see the little stitching

here there's a zipper on the back you

could open it up and take the cushion

out if you ever wanted to replace it

there's a little plastic in here that

you can hook up to a vacuum it

compresses it so you could pull it out

and then you keep it compressed and put

it back in inside the case that's if you

ever decided to take the cover off bring

the table up just swing it up make sure

hooks into both cleats and make sure you

drop the leg make sure that's secure

then these fold down slips up snaps into

the wall and then on this side is an

access hatch to get to your water pump

so I'm going to climb right on top

because this is this is a 3/4 inch

plywood here so this is very sturdy and

it's all held together there's no

particle board

there's no vinyl sticker wrap it's all

laminate over plywood and it's all

pocket holes screwed together but you

have access to your water pump the

strainer for the water pump the drain

for the freshwater tank 23 gallons and a

low point drain for winterization also

has a solar controller and the main

7-way time for a trailer so you don't

want to store things in this compartment

and then off to the side here there's a

kill switch to shut down this battery

system if you're going to leave it in

storage you could shut down the back

so if you did leave an item on like a

light it's not gonna drain the battery

over time and this hatch sit right in

its groove there flip the cushion over

and that's back to a dinette above the

dinette there's a Bluetooth stereo it's

a JVC this flips down you can put CDs in

or you can sync your smartphone to it

and stream audio there's a USB charge

port above and there's USB input on the

side so if you want to plug an mp3

player into the stereo they give you an

input there these are just for charging

it comes with remote control - it's

pretty good audio there's two speakers

in this model the wireless backup /

driving camera standard for 2019 so

there's a monitor it goes in your

vehicle you plug it into a 12 volt

socket turn your parking lights or

headlights on in your vehicle now I'll

activate the rear camera and you can see

what's going on behind you not only when

you're backing up but the whole entire

time when you're driving it's a good

safety feature and everything felt that

it was so important that they made it

standard for 2019 there and these

tambour doors when you bring them up all

the way the lock and a groove down lock

you just push in and then unlocks it and

that microphone every questions about

that what is that for that's sort of

stereo so if you do get a telephone call

you could answer the remote control and

you could do Bluetooth commands through

it as well and the other side is a

mirror image it just doesn't have the

stereo LED light over to dinette manual

control here there's a ceiling light

switch right here when you walk in to

bright right there's four elements that

come on you could shut one off you can

shut both off you could just have one on

if you want and that'll conserve battery

juice also next to that is the bathroom

light and then there's a step light

there's a light outside next to the step

that illuminates the step area so you

could leave that on at night these are

blackout curtains they snap right into

the wall here they're on aluminum rail

you could bring them all the way around

and you can velcro them together and you

could get total privacy in this trailer

and then this middle window opens all

the way out this is tinted

safety glass and it's a tempered glass

so if it does shatter it shatters into

little cubes

that's code by RBA as well as the fire

extinguisher to emergency exit the

carbon dioxide detector and propane and

smoke are all on this trailer to open

the window you first have to open the

rock art on the outside we're gonna look

at that a little bit later pull twist

pull twist and you lift both arms both

handles and snaps into three different

heights so you have plenty of

ventilation up front here down here on

the floor there is the propane leak

detector we spoke about that's always on

so as long as the batteries charge in

the trailer that will monitor the air

quality and the trailer there's no

batteries for it it's hooked into the

battery of the travel trailer itself and

it's when you hit the kill switch that

will stay on it is very sensitive so you

spraying your aerosol by it or pet sleep

by sometimes a little set it off the

Dometic refrigerator just push up open

you got a little freezer up top this

thing's been on it takes about seven

hours to cool down so turn on the day

before your trip there's a little fan

switch off to the side the thermostat

controlled it ventilates the compartment

on outside so I recommend on a warmer

day just leave that switch on but it is

thermostatic control so even if the

refrigerator isn't on if that switches

on the fan will kick on and off

periodically these shelves are removable

and adjustable you could pop these

shelves out here and it's plumbed

outside so when it defrost there's a pan

and it drips outside the trailer turn it

on you just lift up this panel here

there's an on/off switch what it will

default to automatic so it's

automatically going to search to see if

we have electricity we don't it's going

to run on propane as long as you have

propane and your propane tanks on you

can manually run it on gas if you want

just by pushing the gas button out and

then it will switch over to a propane

gas and then we'll try to ignite if it

can't ignite the check light will come

on and stay on that's a warning to let

you know that it could not ignite I

always leave it on automatic and let it

decide

whether I have electricity or I need to

run on propane and it is recommended to

leave that off when you're traveling

down the highway turn it on

seven hours get too cool put your items

in it give them cool shut it off hit the

road shut your propane tanks off when

you get to your destination turn it back

on that's the safest way to do it and

then there's a kit you could buy

aftermarket if you want to reverse the

doors that opens this way next to that

we have a storage compartment it's all

premium Hardware here this Hardware

detaches so you could gain access if you

needed to get to service here the wheel

wells behind there some wiring and

plumbing these hinges this cap comes off

and you just the angle and the way the

door closes over time if things shift

around you have full adjustment of the

hardware and there's a J latch that

keeps that door shut so it doesn't pop

open when you're driving the metal box

wore on this model the door face is

plywood with laminate and it comes with

a civil war organizer the stereo has a

detachable face so you can put it in

this case here and the Airstream gives

you a GFCI receptacle electrical outlet

tester it's good practice once you plug

in at a campground just to go and test

one your outlets to make sure that you

are wired correctly at the campground

it's it's a good peace of mind

below the sink there's storage here you

can put the sink cover here you could

put a lot of other items and it's an

open compartment so when you have your

furnace on the airflow gets behind here

to heat your plumbing and a colder work

day

the sink is this stainless steel sink

it's a thick gauge so you don't know

we're about dentin up got a high-quality

Moen residential faucet so you could

always go to a home center and buy a

replacement down the road if you needed

to there's a remote control for the TV

two burner cooktop there's a high output

and a low output it's got a battery

spark ignition you just turn it on to

light hold that in and press the ignite

one and all the little spark will be

next to each one of the burners and then

there's obviously another dial here for

the other burner there's a GFCI protect

an electrical outlet in the galley here

is 100 a dinette as well and

the one up in the cabinet that the

microwave occupies lots of storage above

you have another LED light over task

light over the kitchen aluminum blinds

behind the sink and you can unclip them

and pull them all the way up and that

allows you to open the window from

inside there's an insect screen here as

well it's got a high gloss gray accent

wall so you can see that the contrast

here there's three different colors what

are either six gallons with electric

spark ignition so when you flip this

switch up the red light will come on the

water heaters trying to ignite at this

point it's gonna keep trying to ignite

once it does you'll have hot water in

about 15-20 minutes it super heats that

water if it misfires like it did I don't

have the propane on or I don't have

propane in the trailer at all the right

light will come on to warn you that it

could not ignite it shut off tried to

ignite nothing there shut off and we'll

keep trying again for a few more times

and then it will completely quit and

leave the red light on the sea level to

tank barring system allows you to

monitor battery juice we have thirteen

point five volts freshwater capacity

we're at zero percent right now it is a

23 gallon tank so we'll give you levels

and percentage so you can do two math

and your gray black tank combination is

zero that's empty right now it's a 21

gallon tank so it does take quite a bit

to register on the scale here so if you

use the toilet for a few days so a

couple you might not even register

anything you just need to fill that

level up high enough to start

registering water pump is a demand

12-volt pump it turn the pump on the

pump will come on pressurize the water

system and then when it feels a drop in

pressure the pump will kick on as soon

as you shut the faucet off and re

pressurizes the pump shuts off on off on

off when you're hooked up to city water

connection you don't need the water pump

on and there will be a little green

light above it to indicate that the

water pumps on and never leave that on

when you're towing down the highway the

co faucet accidentally kicks on you

could flood out your trailer air

conditioning there's eleven thousand B

to air conditioning with electric heat

strip so it has a little coil just like

in the back of a hair dryer

when you have it on the optional heat

setting that will glow cherry red and a

family blue low air over it and take the

chill out of the air that's not your

main source of heat but it's an

alternative source of heat on air

conditioning of three different fan

speeds and there's also just a fan

blower available so if you just want to

circulate air in this trailer you could

do so there's filters here that you

could pop out you've got to clean these

periodically they do get clogged pretty

easily with lint from towel sheets

bedding so you're gonna make sure

they're clear so you don't overwork your

air conditioning or burn it out and

there's louvers here that you can open

up and all the different sides and

there's an insta cool that it dumps air

straight down and you have a lot of

control over the air conditioning shroud

here for regular ventilation we have a

fantastic fan this has a variable speed

control and you can manually crank the

lid open I just remember to shut it if

it's gonna rain it has a quick release

screen here so you want to clean the fan

blades you could pop this insect screen

off you can also buy accessories that go

on top of this so you could leave it

open when you're driving or if it's

raining out there's a four amp fuse here

that is sacrificial the fan blade was to

get stuck on some debris it would pop

the fuse verses the motor in the bedroom

right we talked about it before to

pillow top memory foam mattresses is a

very high quality mattress a lot of our

Airstream owners are very satisfied with

the quality of this mattress they don't

rush out and go out and buy a brand-new

mattress this is the emergency exit

window here this is on a hinge

there's no insect screen because you

have to be able to get out of it in a

very quick manner in such a small

trailer but there on the side here there

is a window that opens for ventilation

has an insect screen and then for full

privacy it's got a set of curtains just

like we did in the front and these

velcro together and that will keep a lot

of light and heat out of the trailer and

you know all those folks that want to

come over and check out your Airstream

trailer and peek in the windows you're

gonna have a little privacy for those

occasions too there's two lights over to

bed here you have overhead roof Locker

over to bed as well

full sides open all the way up carbon

dioxide detector in the bedroom bedroom

ceiling light again these you could shut

off one element if you would like at the

very head of the bed there's USB charge

ports so you can charge your cell phone

or devices and then there's a hamper

that you could put items in bedding

sheeting pillows there's one here and

there's also one at the foot of the bed

as well the furnace control it's here on

the wall this has a 12,000 BTU gas

furnace the blower motor runs on battery

juice and the spark is battery just turn

it on it's very stiff I don't think

you're gonna break it you don't want to

hit a bump and have the furnace kick on

when you're driving not wanting to then

you get just your temperature here it's

a little warm today I'm not going to run

this but I just wanted to show you the

operation and just just shut it off turn

it all the way off hear it click and

it'll run through its cycle it takes

about 2 to 3 minutes to completely shut

down at the foot of the bed the

television is on an articulating arm and

that can lock in place and you make sure

your lights lock them before you tow but

when you're ready to use it just pull it

out and that releases and you have

access to USB HDMI ports in the back and

on the wall is an HDMI cable that hooked

up to the front stereo which is also a

DVD player so you can watch movies in

bed and there's an antenna on the roof

there's an army directional antenna it

looks like a mushroom on the roof and

there's an antenna booster at the foot

of the bed that is a black button with a

little green light next to it when you

press that in that will amplify that

signal for this television then you just

go through your menu and source settings

and do an auto program it'll find all

the kit over two air channels that you

can get in your current position if you

don't get enough channels you can always

move the trailer away from underneath

trees or next to buildings and see what

other signal you get just don't leave

that on when you don't have the

television on because it will drain the

battery system down in the wet path

there's a towel bar on the back of the

door and the handle is just one of these

slide pocket handles so there's no

handle sticking out there you could get

caught on but you know when you're in

here you can lock it if you need to the

wand hangs up on the wall and when we go

outside you could actually see where you

could pass this through and you can

reach in and you can get hot and cold

controls here for hot and cold water

toilet porcelain bowl halfway on the

peddle fills the bowl up all the way

opens the bowl valve allows the waste to

drain down so you have a decision how

much water you want to fill this ball up

before use at all a cop two cups a

gallon whatever you decide it's your

control how much you're putting in and

when you're done just flush it all the

way down recommended to leave the toilet

bowl empty when you're traveling meaning

there's nothing the water in the bowl so

it doesn't splash around the shower pan

has this aluminum stainless steel

threshold here and there's a drain plug

it's very important to keep this drain

plug in when you're traveling you don't

want that water in that pea trap that

sort that blocks this or gas from

getting in the trailer to dissipate and

allow sewer gas into the trailer or if

you have a full tank of black/gray tank

you don't want the sewage to go up come

up in the trailer just put this in when

you're traveling it's a good idea it's

good practice before you take a shower

to come over here and see how much waste

you have because you don't want to top

the tank off if you're in the shower

there's a medicine cabinet in here it is

a mirror and then there's their shelves

here that are removable you can adjust

your height the light has a holes

drilled into it to allow moisture to

drain out if if the moisture content got

very high in here the vent line fan you

just push straight up push the red

button and that will ventilate stale air

or moist air out of the bathroom just

make sure you turn it off and pull down

make sure it's fully snug before you

start traveling because water from the

roof can get down here

this windows in this fixed position

because when the entry door opens it

comes right up against it so you

wouldn't want to leave the window open

and smash it

between toilet paper holders protected

by the shower curtain when you pull it

across and there is a clothesline for

light items there you could pull across

lock in spin the little dial and you can

hang your bathing suit or anything light

from this I don't recommend putting any

towels on it they're a little bit too

heavy for what it was designed for and

you have a shade here for privacy when

you're in the bathroom and then these

walls are laminate just like the

countertop and it's clocked seam so you

just want to check your seams

periodically a trailer expands and

attracts things move when you're on the

highway so I'm gonna make sure that the

sour it is maintained properly at an

entry door you can see that there's a

rubber bumper here so if you don't duck

when you get out the entry door you

don't skin your head on the top here and

there's a heavy-duty grab handle on your

exit there MSRP on this trailer is fifty

thousand four eighty four and that's

with the one available option which is

the 80 watt solar charging system with

absorbed glass mat battery which is

twelve hundred and fifty dollars so the

base price is forty seven thousand nine

hundred twelve hundred fifty for the

solar charging system and airstreams

equalized destination that's the same

destination charge for all the dealers

in the country it's thirteen hundred and

thirty-four and we mentioned earlier

it's black or tan ultra leather both

there's no charge for we just pick which

color you'd like to get out of the door

just lift up on the handle and head

right out

screen door attaches four main door

you can see it's all TIG welded aluminum

construction insect screen here kick

plate on the bottom goes right into the

extruded aluminum structure for the

entry door it's all take welder there as

well

it's on an angle so if water comes right

here it rolls right out and when you

close the main entry door it meets back

up with the screen and comes together

and this little piece here blocks the

the handles so you don't have a gap

going into the trailer

heavy-duty deadbolt heavy-duty entry

door handle signature slam everybody

loves tinted privacy glass here at the

entry door this frame here is all hand

riveted in place execute aluminum gutter

rail over the door allowing rain to run

away from the door instead of running

down the front and it has an extruded

aluminum belt line protection that's

where the two seams at a looming overlap

and a riveted this dresses it up

protects it heavy-duty cast aluminum

hinges here too extremely robust but I

consider each one a work of art they're

absolutely gorgeous and then this all

meets up with the underbelly a roll pan

here with the bottom rubber ail

protection entry step just lifts up

tucks away it's steel with gloss-black

paint underbellies wrapped up in

aluminum entry door light is an LED

light outside air stream achieved the

Emerald rating for the certified green

that has the r-va stamp of approval here

on the side LED running lights on the

top and around and tail lights when the

entry door opens it clips in just

prevents the door from blowing around on

a windy day its unclip it you can see

the heavy-duty

gas getting here for the door and the

back of the door has aluminum sheathing

here and as insulation here as well each

door takes about eight hours to

manufacture it's a whole shift that

Airstream plant so think of how many

doors they have to make a day how many

people are dedicated to it there's a

lockable shower compartment you could

grab the one from the shower inside you

can pull it out you can reach right in

get the hot and cold water you can hold

yourself off some of your equipment your

feet your dog very clever here but all

the air streams have an outside shower

the sport and the base camp have a

pass-through like this so it's very

unique and clever idea

a woman 'im sport medallion here

the rims are 14 inch rims and it has

good urine doroth this is 2 1575 or 14

inch and the tire pressure on these

endure its 14s are 65 psi so what we

want to recommend that you check your

tire pressure if you're not sure your

trailer

check the sticker on the VIN plate it'll

tell you what your recommended tire

pressure is it's crucial to make sure

that you're at the correct pressure lug

nut torque make sure you check your lug

nut torque before every trip there is a

specification and your owners manual

each trailer line might be different so

you want to check your own particular

trailer and if you ever removed the tire

to do your bearing maintenance every

three to five thousand miles is

recommended even though the hub

manufacturer says up to ten thousand we

tell you three to five is a better

practice if you once you put that tire

back on you want to check your lug nut

torque every 5 10 15 20 miles just so

you make sure it seats properly before

you travel cross country this has never

adjust braking system it's drum brakes

this is a self adjusting brake system so

you don't have to get underneath there

and adjust the drum shoes out it is self

adjusting outside GFCI protected

electric allow in order for any of the

outlets in the trailer to work including

your microwave and air conditioning you

have to have the trailer plugged into

electricity the reset is not built into

it the resets inside the trailer

underneath the bed at the foot of the

bed there's a power converter charger

that converts AC to DC charge your

battery once you open up the louver

inside you're gonna see a 30 amp breaker

for the whole entire trailer and

different 20 amp breakers for electrical

outlets microwave and then one with the

GFCI reset friend of your whet outlets

at your kitchen bathroom outside

electrical and refrigerator next to that

a regular automotive 80 C fuses those

are for your water pump and your fans

and your lights inside the trailer below

that is the battery charger portion and

there's a fan that will kick on at cool

the compartment down periodically just

make sure you keep that clear and you

don't put clothes up against it so it

ventilates underneath the trailer here

there's a jack location so there is a

plate riveted to the frame of the

trailer with the decal that says Jack

that points to

the location to jack up the trailer in

case you got a flat tire spare tires up

front underneath the a-frame and the

jack is in your tow vehicle so I'm gonna

use that you just want to make sure you

have a proper tool to get your lug nuts

off and your tow vehicle it's

recommended to get a basic tool kit when

you have an RV or travel trailer to fix

things on the road if necessary

stabilize your jacks or all four corners

as a tool in the trunk that we could

crank these down now this is just to

take the bounce out of the walk it's not

to lift the trailer up a layup leveler

it's strictly for stabilizing it's

recommended to put a larger plate maybe

a leveling block underneath the trailer

or a wood underneath the jack to prevent

it from digging into the dirt these

corners here are stretch formed aluminum

so it's the same flat aluminum sheet

that you see on the side that air stream

pulls over a stretch form and causes

this this curve here and it's all buck

rivet into place you see the housings

here for the LED taillights license

plate bracket with the bright light here

that's the wireless backup camera with

little antenna beautiful Airstream

lettering here there's a raised

lettering they do you can see a roof

clearance lights up top and then the

trunk is lockable insulated and weather

sealed it has these squeeze locks so

when you push down on it and squeeze

that trunk tight but you just lift and

twist open it up you can see how much

insulation is in between here it's all

aluminum and then this has the bins

we've pulled them out from the inside

but now we have outside we could see

what colonial-era stream includes an RV

starter kit so all of our kits we

include a premium waste hose which I

have on display on the side a freshwater

hose is a 25-foot drop in tablets for

the gray black tank one dose per tank

full we give you some gloves because

when you touch the sewer hose after you

use it you want to use some gloves and

underneath the hatch underneath the

dinette what a water tank is you could

hook up this siphon tube through the

inlet side of the water pump stick this

into a jug of antifreeze and you could

siphon the antifreeze through the system

we

see that donor orientation here at

Colonial orientation last few hours and

we go through everything in the trailer

teach everything works inside now hook

it properly up to your tow vehicle if

you bought some type of hitch system

we'll demonstrate that as well and then

we recommend that you stay tonight at

their dealership so you can camp out in

your trailer and try everything out

before you hit the road and go back home

or stay local for a few days if you want

to stay at a campground toilet paper in

here as well and we give you a hitch

lock - so the coupler on the trailer

snow could steal your trailer we lock

that so no one could get a ball up

underneath it there's a rubber mat here

down on the floor this is a new feature

for 2019 on all the air streams so you

have the vinyl floor throughout they put

a rubber mat on top so when you throw

things in and out of the trunk

it doesn't gouge the floor this is the

tool that you would use to bring down

your stabilizer jacks we mentioned ok

and some people cut this and they stick

this into a drill and zip them down that

way you

it's your choice these are the tool

we're gonna use to operate the awning

and then there's a total of eight bins

in here and there's a light inside this

compartment to illuminate that night so

if you can't see what you're searching

for you could open turn on that light on

this side of the trailer we have your

25-foot 30 amp power core we're plugging

at the 30 amp in the building if you

want to bring the trailer home you want

to charge it you can plug it into a

regular electrical outlet well we give

you this premium adapter not one of

those little short stubby ones that will

melt on you this premium net adapt adapt

your power cord to a regular household

electrical outlet you could pretty much

do everything in the trailer with this

except for one your air conditioning

it's recommended to have a true 30 amp

this is a twist lock the spin it twist

and pull the red light will illuminate

not because there's a problem red

sometimes it means bad but it just means

that you have power going into the

trailer below that we have your cable TV

Inlet so you can hook into cable at a

campground you get the little cable box

hook it inside the trailer and

now you'll have any of the reception

that they have available at the

campground through their cable service

provider

I do recommend bringing a 20 foot coax

cable cord with you the dump station

this has a combination grey-black 21

gallon tank take the cap off okay I'm

gonna come over here and open up the

waste hose storage tube now you don't

want to store this in the trunk and then

we're gonna snap that on nice and secure

there's a premium hose through this in

the last quite a bit of time this is ten

foot so it stretches out long enough to

use at the campsite and then we give you

this elbow it's a clear elbow three

different screw in thread types I

guarantee the screws are the threads are

stripped so you can put this doughnut on

slip it in then you just snap your hose

into it and then you pull the discharge

and that will allow the tank to drain

the waste it is good practice to leave

this closed and let the waste buildup in

the tank so when you pull the handle out

you get a good flush out of the tank

after you're all done with the trailer

you're gonna put away to storage after

you have to take leave the handle open

you could hook up a garden hose not your

white freshwater hose a garden hose to

this connection and under the water

pressure coming in there's a lawn inside

of the tank that sprays the walls and

get rid of all the residual waste in the

tank it flushes it out very good

practice to use that each and every time

you're done with the travel trailer at

the campground and then at night if

you're trying to do this there's a dump

station light LED light to illuminate

this area and then once you get this

bowl of water down and waste down into

the camp ground you could unconnect the

end and stick the hose and your waste

hose storage tube and put it away

there's a little reflector lights

throughout the trailer this is your

12,000 b2 furnace exhaust so don't put

any combustibles in this area a water

heater six gallon DSi direct spark

ignition water heater does the exterior

of it you don't want to store things in

here but there's a drain plug here on

the side so you have when you want to

drain it down for winterization and then

inside the Wardrobe in the trailer

there's a access hatch to get into the

bypass valves because basically what

you're doing it instead of pumping six

count of it of antifreeze and so the

water heater when you're winterize the

trailer you could bypass it and loop the

plumbing around the water heater so they

could winterize the rest of the water

lines and then you just simply pull the

drain plug on the outside the

air-conditioning has a drip tube that

runs right here behind the wheel so you

might get someone that comes over and

say hey buddy your trailers leaking

water by your water connection here what

it is is the condensate - most trailers

air conditioning condensate drips right

off the roof right down the side leave

streaks entering runs it through a

channel very smart so wheel while it's

all insulated - there's an ABS plastic

and there's insulation above it you have

a city water connection so if you want

to bypass your 23 gallon freshwater tank

you can help water hose connection right

up here turn on the water at the

campground and then it has water

pressure regulator built into it 45 55

psi so you don't have to worry about

carrying an extra water pressure regular

with you unless you do some type of

external water filtration system you

might want to protect that from high

water pressure and it's a good practice

to put the cap back on before you tell

safety glass window this is the kitchen

window we saw an inside this is a

refrigerator ventilation so to never

store anything in here but I can hear

the fan running that's the switch I

turned on inside it says Reaper fan

that means refrigerator this is a

lockable potable water tank take the cap

off stick the water hose I gave you

loose in this hole here turn the water

on low you don't need a full pressure

let the tank fill and it reliefs out of

a valve here this is a lot as the air

out of the tank but it also is an

overflow and the drain floor was when I

opened up the dinette and lift it up

there was a drain valve built into the

floor there this is the tire information

and vent information so if you ever want

to check the VIN number your trailer

what year it is what model you have tire

pressure you can locate it right here on

all this Airstream travel trailers on

the earlier models in the 70's and 60s

it was built right into your medallion

that told you what model you had

bottom of it what would have been your

VIN number and the waste those storage

to make sure that cap is on secure

before you tell because you'll lose your

waste toes on the highway there's a 3m

film here up front that protects the

body from rock chips from going through

the clear coat usually the rest of the

travel trail line except for the sport

has raw heavy-duty rock or a stainless

steel rack protectors on it but since

the lot of folks are using a smaller

vehicle like an SUV to tow a trailer

like this they use a three on film it

reduces weight and cost but you can't

add them aftermarket it's about $750

aside if you decided to do so this is

the solar stolen guards these are stone

guards that protect the front safety

glass from shattering when you're towing

there's two tethers they stretch so you

can lift the rock guard and spin the

knurl knob over on both sides now allows

you to open your window there's three

different heights then if you want to

clean the glass behind this rock guard

you could take a screwdriver and you

turn a quarter turn this comes out and

you can lift it off and clean your glass

just make sure you put them on before

you tell and then when you put them on

make sure they're secure you can't pull

them out because you don't want these to

fly open when you're driving it's very

very good practice to not only follow

the checklist in the front of the owners

manual but to make your own and go

through all this stuff before you hitch

up and go you should we be surprised how

many things you could forget in the

course of packing and getting ready for

a trip aluminum bottle cover here has a

rubber tether here to keep it down

there's two 20-pound propane tanks there

steel bottles these are exchangeable

size that's unique to this trailer some

of other models are thirty or forty

pounds you have to go out and get them

filled and find a place that does fill

them these drop off when you get fuel

pick up a new tank and continue on your

trip they're both hooked into the same

system but you decide left or right

bottle the trailer comes with barbecue

quick disconnect business for a low

pressure grill

and the low-pressure grill is a smaller

little cook camping stove not like a

regular barbecue and right up front here

you could snap this in this goes into

the fittings just slide it back and then

you could turn the gas on and this will

be hooked into your grill they purposely

only give you a little bit because they

don't want you to carry it around and

put it under your owning and light a

fire and light a fire under your warning

so they purposely give you enough so you

can't do that well most people have a

regular grill and a camping girl is just

not going to do it for them so in that

situation all you'd have to do is just

take one of your bottles out or

disconnect one your bottles and get

extension hose for your grill and then

you can hook your grill directly into

one of the propane tanks on the trailer

so you can decide which is a better

alternative for you and then this cover

comes off with this screw here you lift

the cover off and loosens the clamps

they get your bottles out you don't want

a cat try to pull the bottles through

here they won't fit they're purposely

designed so you have to remove the cover

behind here is the battery box for the

absorbed glass mat optional battery part

of the solar if you slide this one over

there's enough room to put a second

battery if you want to gain some more

amp hours and battery storage and then

you just have to hook them up in

parallel 12 volt next to that we have

the zip quick sistah necked so if you

want to have a portable paddle say the

trailers parked in the shade and you

want to get some solar gain with a

portable panel if you plug in a solar

panel it shuts that system off and then

provide solar gain from an external

affordable this is a standard feature

you don't have to get the solar charging

system in order to get that up on the

roof there's a sample for it up there

with three different connections so we

occupy one with the 80 watt panel it's

up there already but if you wanted to

put additional panels if you could find

room form you could plug them into that

existing hardware manual hits jack you

can add one electric hitch jack

aftermarket if you decide to do so but

the way this is geared it's simple it's

not a big task

I could actually hook and disconnect a

lot quicker with this than electric

hitch jack coupler lock we

here once you get that off you got to

slide the coupler forward and then lift

up and then you can lift it off the ball

and this is a box frame it's not a CE

channel so it's a very rigid frame it's

got a gloss black paint so you can you

can buy regular rust-oleum paint and

touch it up if necessary lose the

trailer breakaway cable this will pull

out if the trailer ever came

disconnected from the tow vehicle so the

trailer doesn't pass you in the shoulder

but never pull this out when you're

disconnecting the trailer and leave it

out if this is pulled out left out over

a period of several hours we'll drain

the batteries and your trailer and it's

not good for them and if once the

batteries died or breaks going to unlock

anyway so if you're trying to use it as

a parking brake that's not going to work

either so just make sure this always

goes back in if you ever pull it out and

I check to inspect this cable make sure

it's not frayed safety chains here you

could crisscross you have to crisscross

them but you could spin them to take the

slack out if you don't want to drag it

on the ground but you'd also want don't

want them too tight you got to be able

to turn and then the 7-way trailer plug

the vehicle you're going to use to tow

this has to be equipped with a 7-way the

six spades of 1-1 pin and it's

recommended that the vehicle has it to

12 volt charge leads so you can trickle

charge the battery when you're driving

down the highway your vehicle is also

going to be need to have an electric

brake controller installed whether it's

factory or aftermarket so something to

consider we highly recommend using a

weight distribution kit with sway

control the brand that a lot of our

customers enjoy is the equalizer brand

this has a 4-point sway control that I

would use something with about a

600-pound bar on the tray like this you

don't want to oversize the bars because

you want a nice soft ride in between if

you get a flat tire please talk about

where you're gonna Jack it and the tools

you're gonna use but how do you get to

the spare tire you're gonna crank this

jack up as high as it goes then you're

gonna pull this pin out

slide this one across a man the tire

drops down and once the jacks up high

enough you could gain access to it it's

not clamped in it's just cradled very

important to check your tire pressure on

your spare tire to a lot of times you

get a flat tire go and pull the spare

out well that one's flat too now you're

stuck so make sure you check that before

every trip and it's the same size tire

same capacity just on a steel rim its

police loaning out so the zip the awning

is a very high quality awning this

warning should last a lifetime of the

trailer how it works I undid the locks

to pull it down keep my hands on it so

it doesn't roll up lock the rafter arms

in place and then since the winnings so

sharp I'm going to put this one up three

notches I'll put this one up four and

then I could pop this one up if I want

it to make it even so remember the rhyme

for by the door you got to be on the

fourth setting by the door so the door

doesn't rub if it's light rain you could

tilt it so the water ends this way this

rolls up nice and neat it tucks into a

little pouch here so you don't have to

worry about it hit me in the face and if

you get high wind or heavy rain put her

away the best practice just put it away

if you're unsure if you're gonna be out

for today

I'd recommend putting it away as well
