Good review. We have the longer 2016. Love our interstate. Also, at my age, awesome to have a bathroom with me 24/7.

Thanks for this great update video!!!!!! We are Thinking about one these long term for the 4x4 and shortness. We have a 2007 Interstate presently and love it, but would like the 4x4. Ours is 22.1 feet long and I definitely don’t want the added length. Thanks for all the info you provided on the Lithium upgrade you did.

Just started looking at these vehicles and glad your video was the first one I saw. Great tips and review.

You do a great job; commentary is easy to follow and you cover some great insights.

I really enjoyed this, thanks! Great delivery, succinct, thorough, insightful, balanced. I loved seeing your real campsite. Subscribed!

Thanks for the great chat about how you are liking the van. We are considering downsizing from a 25ft travel trailer but, need different jobs first as we current require a 36" U-shaped dinette to work Monday through Friday. Someday we will be more free.

We’ve ordered a 2021 and are very excited to get it! Your video is very helpful...there is much to learn. Keep the tips and pointers coming! Stay safe. The Valentines

I have a 2013 airstream lounge and my a/c has three soeeds we use low at night when we go to bed and works well for not to loud at just a good white noise.

This is a helpful review, and knowing your height is handy. We worried a 19ft van bed would be too short for my tall husband. Glad the Interstate bed has been comfy for you 42 nights straight!

6’4”! Thank you, you just answered my greatest reservation against getting an airstream. Everything they make seemed to be for 73” people.

Nice review, John P! My wife and I are gathering info on the Interstate's, and your presentation was very pleasant, and informative. We also use to have a Vanagon Weekender (just a bed in back) and traveled all over the West in that, until the engine leaked too much coolant. We did love that van!

Excellent video. Very thorough - great ideas and honest review. Thx!

Great video thank you for the content.

If I understood your comment on the generator/battery post situation, I offer the following: give them a coating of petroleum jelly and the problem will go away. All the best.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I am starting to really do research right now and this was super clear and helpful info!

Thank you for sharing. Great review!

Excellent review and insights - thanks very much! We're thinking of acquiring one.

I am listing mine: 2019 Airstream Interstate 19’, 4x4 KO2’s, State-of-The-Art Lithionics 525amp/hr Lithium battery pack, 250W Solar, 3000W inverter/charger, Onan generator, upgraded bed seat cushioning and much more!

Great vid! Thanks for all your info. Enjoy the journey

how does the Mercedes stock air conditioning work versus the loud coach unit..factory/manufacturer didnt remove it from engine compartment did they?

nice info thanks to you

They should have blind spot monitor, best safety feature on vehicles today.

Thx for this review...very, very helpful...

Really pretty place.

Dialetic grease on elec connects for coroding issues

Please subscribe. When I take my next trip as a couple, I will do a quick video on the storage of our supplies and clothing inside the vehicle. Just keep in mind that we have the huge battery pack underneath the backseat and if you do not put the lithium batteries in that spot then you will have a lot more storage than I do.

There's so much you don't know you don't know! I had thought this would be a great duel use product: use it to camp with just DH, then use it to take the last two to school and back....or longer trips to the mountains, etc, with some cush and comfort. I'll need to consider the various elements you've noted such as batteries, etc. Thank you.

Sounds like Airstream has a long way to go

Great van. Great lifestyle.

Thanks for watching! For more photos, check out my Instagram @jpeg.pix. Camping at Peninsula Point Lighthouse, about 0.50 miles before the lighthouse is fabulous but there are only 3 spots. The opening site in this video was at Fox Park Campground near Stephenson Michigan, and the last site was at Kohler-Andrae State Park Campground south of Cheboygan Wisconsin (not very peaceful).

Thank you John. So great seeing one of your reviews again. I would love to see how you set it up inside. Did you keep the soap dispenser? We just got ours and took the soap dispenser out. I put in small basket shelves to hold our small containers. Still trying to figure out what to put in to the other spaces. Have not the packing thing down yet. Would love your suggestions. Thank you again.

thanks for the detailed reply..really good information..generator..never thought to ask if could do without..I thought it was standard option.so the generator doesn't recharge low batteries or perform any other benefits besides ac unit and microwave?

Is there room under the couch to put two sets of golf clubs? Also, I recommend T-9 Boeshield spray for your corrosion on the electric connectors. I was a charter Captain in Costa Rica and T-9 saved me from many problems. The great thing is you can spray it on anything electrical and the rest of the machinery safely and it really stops any further corrosion. Enjoyed your video and its honesty. Thank you

Thank you for your comment and please subscribe for free! It will help make the channel, small as it is, better for everyone who does Boondocking! I will do a 3 year follow up soon!

My husband and I would like to travel in a small van and we want to be able to bring our two grandchildren with us. will this accomodate sleeping for 4? Thank You.

Great video. Very informative. Thank you. Question, the front drivers seat. Being 6’5, Do you have enough room to adjust the seat back to drive comfortably?

Thank you for the update!! This is the kind of feedback I was looking for as we consider if we can go from the EXT to the shorty. On the generator terminals. I sprayed those with CRC Battery Terminal Protector. Works well. A/C should have a low setting... mine does (2018 AI Lounge TB Ext)... but the A/C is still too loud for our taste. So storage has not been an issue? How long have your stays been? How is the flow of moving around with two people? Thanks again for the update!

great review by the way..nothing like witnesses testimony..how's miles to gallon?..did you order or buy available of lot..hows power and handling based of wieght and weather feel?

Put some silicone dielectric grease on the battery terminals.

A wonder if a 12v AC could be fitted? They’re really quiet and do have three speeds.

Great video! Very informative. Can you tell me more about your batter upgrade? Did you also change your 1000w inverter?

Did add a RV specific GPS like Garmin

I enjoy your videos and review. I have a Nineteen 4x4 on order and was wondering, without upgrading the house battery system to lithium, what you were able to get out of them. How long would the lights and refrigerator work before having to use the generator?

Hello, thank you for your video, is it four season? What happens if you stay at cold or very cold climate as far as tanks and water lines etc. are concerned?

Hey can I ask you a question? Does the AC unit have an automatic on/off timer. Say if you set it to turn on at a certain time and run for an hour then turn off automatically?

have you changed the generator oil yet? Looks like you need to remove the darn thing.

No problem with drive through for fast food?

You mentioned about your 525 ah lithium battery system, it’s the after market mod or option provided by Airstream? So with the lithium battery, you can just run AC without turning on the generator, coerce? I have no experience with van life and don’t own a van but I started to realize having lithium battery is the way to go for me, what do you think?

Enjoyed your review. I am considering one of these. So why do you prefer to shower outside?

Hi love your video thanks what kind of refrigerator is in the 19? And what’s the brand of AC? Enjoy

Hi very nice rig, Is it possible to us it in winter , i mean when outside temp is below 32F ? Did you ever experence it? I am from Canada ...

the stock Mercedes air conditioning and heater from engine...does it put out enough to not need duplicate coach equipment?

Did you have to add/alter anything else to add the lithium battery or just a straight replacement?

Great video. Is there a spare tire onboard?

Are you able to stand up in it?

i am looking at the 2023 airstream atlas

How noisy is the A/C & generator?

I just bought a 2020; would you recommend getting a storage pod for the back? And do you recommend the lithium battery vs the 2 deep cycles?

how much does it cost monthly to live in?

Enjoyed your review. Thanks. What is your real world mpg reading?

In hot, humid (much of) Texas, in summer time, it’s not at all uncommon for nighttime temperatures to remain in the 90 degrees F realm, and relative humidity at 70% or higher, and without ac, you just can’t sleep comfortably… you lie there basting in your own sweat. Until a person has tried to exist in that level of sweltering mugginess, you really can’t describe with words just how incredibly uncomfortable it can be, and communicate that to someone who is unfamiliar with such a climate, AND that runs from mid-May to at least October, then again, that is so “Texas”, in that, as a 62 year old lifetime resident, I can assure you that there have been plenty of Thanksgivings where we ran the ac in the car and house, and felt a little silly even packing winter jackets when going to visit relatives, but just as many, well, just a few years back, I was working on Thanksgiving, and I stepped outside and looked to my right and noticed sleet and freezing rain blowing horizontally up the driveway, and the temperature had dropped to something like 28 degrees. Plus everything in between. It’s not a matter of a ‘50’s mentality’, it’s simply the reality of the climate down here. Consequently, the concept of an ac unit on an rv that could be perceived as over-powered, and lacking a “low” setting - we would more likely see as a selling point. Considering the number of potential customers from Florida and Georgia, all the way West through the Gulf States, the swamps of Louisiana and Southeast Texas (including the Southern tip, which extends halfway into Mexico), all the way across the desert Southwest to Los Angeles and San Diego, that would regard the performance of the ac system to be nothing less than a make-or-break consideration. So, there ARE alternative points of view.

Airstream change your battery or someone else. how about warranty stand after change.

What campground is that?

Nearly 5 minutes in, still talking about yourself and photography. Hoped to learn something about the van.
