I actually like that it isn't standard. Because when they come standard, you either have to renovate the unit yourself to remove it or in some cases you can special order. Either way, an annoyance when it comes standard, some people strictly boondock so it's not the best thing.

@bobbys2643

@Bijan Mehrpour if it comes standard you would have to try and custom order it without it and there are plenty of reasons for RVs especially smaller ones, to not have it installed. If you're living in it permanently or semipermanently, and traveling using it on BLM land and whatnot, you're probably not going to use the ac much if at all. Same thing with a microwave. It doesn't come standard with enough battery to run either on and on top of that I don't even think there would be enough room/weight to expand battery storage to allow it to potentially run it without shore power anyway. Plus it also limits your solar expandability for the roof leaving you to lug around a suitcase zamp solar or something that you'd have to plug in each time and store it. Not fun.

@Bijan Mehrpour Pretty sure the reason not to have AC is that you need to be hooked into shore power or have a generator to run the darn thing. One you don't have boondocking the other is another pain in the ass to make sure you have fuel for, another engine to keep maintained, loud, heavy etc etc. In other words quite a few reasons not to spend an extra $2000 if you don't need to. Boondockers would much rather have a roof full of solar than a AC unit.

Really like how you could have a permanent bed & seating space. Nice!

I’m confused why anyone would want two table areas. There is one 5 feet away. Seems like they could have got more creative with that back sleeping area...like a higher bed with more storage underneath or an option for a bunk bed maybe. Or make the space completely modifiable to do either, or just as a gear storage area. Such a wasted opportunity. But I do love the table up front and able to sleep one more there. That was my main gripe about the 16...as I want a table and a bed at the same time and not always hassling with tear downs everyday like with the 16.

I believe the Basecamp 20 would be perfect if there was an option with the kitchen in the front like the 16ft model. For those of is not needing an extra bed/sitting area. The huge kitchen in the 16 is a major selling point, but the larger size of the 20 probably really desired for that little extra space. I would certainly be one of the first in line for a Basecamp 20x front kitchen.

@MyGoogleYoutube

The problem with a front kitchen is weight distribution. There is a reason the kitchen is centered around the axle. Especially on single axle trailers. A front kitchen would push the tongue weight too high. Meaning the axle needs to move forward. So basically a complete redesign. While I get what you're saying....it will probably never happen.

Beautiful! A better design feature for the table leg would have been one adjustable leg that can adjust to various heights for more versatile use, i.e. standing desk, table, support for bed instead of two different legs.

Very nice first look at these! Now my list choice for purchase is narrowing down. I am excited about the upgrades and exterior tent option. Glad there is a Truma heater. Excellent!

Interesting evolution-we might have bought one had they been out a year earlier (we went with a used 25 foot flying cloud). We confirmed at an RV show that the 16x was just a bit too small for our 100 pound dog and the two of us to sleep in (I'm 6 feet tall). I really Like the light weight philosophy of design with overhead storage nets etc. Can't be all things to all people. Off-grid camping is the best and to keep the weight down I'd spec solar panels but no air conditioner and no microwave. Would be interested to know the hitch weight. Really nice to see the absence of the old 6 gallon water heaters that are everywhere-I think the base camp idea is evolving for the new younger generation into what will be a really popular product. As somewhat old-fashioned retirees, we ended up buying a larger half ton truck with the max tow package to manage our 25 footer that has a hitch weight over just over 800 pounds. When towing you can tell all 6000 pounds are back there even with the 6.2 litre engine. Not so with the base camp as you can easily tow it without an equalizer hitch. It's all about trade offs. Just what you need and no more. There are definitely gravel mountain roads we've been where I wouldn't take the flying cloud but where the base camp would easily go.

Funny upgrade. I never liked the Basecamp until I saw a tour of one highlighting the kitchen in the front. Now they've undone that. huh.

Love the option of solar energy !

Great review.

I placed my deposit to reserve a VIN on a BC 20 X this past Saturday. I’m very excited to make my transition into this!

I like where you guys are going with this lineup. Hawley Bowlus would be proud. His design was centered around the fact that he wanted to take his hobby/toy out with him and camp. It's nice to see AS looking back at the roots of the company for inspiration. It looks like a couple of MTB fork mounts on the floor would work great to haul some bikes and might be room to sleep in there. Show us that. These holding tanks are much better but I would still like to see something like 45 fresh gallons in there.

I dream about owning an Airstream Atlas and nothing pisses me off more than losing the choice to have a wider shower over a sink just to spit toothpaste in. I can do that and wash my hands in the kitchen sink. Keep it simple. Women like to travel AND shave their legs. We like a little wider room, and perhaps a teak foot stool to prop our foot on.

Airstream are you considering a model with a dry bath and 22 feet.

One thing that no one ever talks about. All the reviewers are tall and thin. Great to show off height. Ever since I was a boy at Sears having to shop the "Husky" section for clothing I've always been aware of weight limitations. That bed in the back with the table supports.... wonder what the weight limit is?

I'm just not sold on this model. To me, the appeal of the Basecamp 16 is the smaller size for getting to those remote locations. This new Basecamp 20 just seems out of proportion to me, at the very least the wet bath should be larger. I'll stick with the B-16.

Perhaps it’s the pandemic, but this looks extremely attractive to me right now. Would have been useful to see the bathroom as that is a deal breaker for me!
