Awww, thanks! We are hoping to have a lot less traffic convos this summer but we do tend to google really useless/weird things when stuck in traffic.
Nice! We just upgraded to the Pro Pride 3P Hitch. Now our 28 tows like a fifth wheel. It’s a total game changer. Stay safe out there! 🚀🦩

Nice!!!! That does seem to be the ultimate towing experience hitch. Our sales team felt we didn’t need it because we have a one ton diesel but it wouldn’t shock us if we upgrade to that at some point.

@@lifebetweentheditches1307 - we have a Ford F350 King Ranch with Dually and still got the hitch for peace of mind. Love your channel!
Love your videos! I'm not knocking anyone here, so no one take offense, please, but I guess I'm tooooo old school...I have a 3 piece drip pot like my folks had. I can make my beloved coffee anywhere I have heat...stove, camp stove, blew my friend's mind when I made it over the camp fire. They were trying to use an electric coffee maker with no luck. I just need heat to boil water.

Yes!!!! If we ever meet you, will you teach us? We would love to know how to do that well.

We are just excited to have an inverter! But quickly learned you can’t make toast, 😢 sad day. We have only used it to charge our computer. We lost our sewer tube cap and slinky on the first drive. It’s somewhere in Tennessee 😮 we just have a bin that holds all our hoses that we pull out. Thanks for share your adjustments to your new trailer. It makes me feel good that I am not the only one on this learning curve.

Oh No!!!!!! I wonder how many times that happens in a year. We’ve never lost a hose (yet) but we’ve taped the tube shut before. Aside from AC, we could use anything we wanted on our larger inverter but we don’t have time to upgrade right now. Maybe down the road. Or maybe we will get used to it.
My 2021 Globetrotter pump is wonderful. you may have to take yours in.
Buttload vs. boatload, love it😂 Would attend class more if you two are the teachers!! Thanks for the lesson and time spent with your airstream.

ABSOLUTELY DO IT!!!!! Great comfort level knowing you can both do it. You totally got this!
I understand your need to downsize (I guess), but not as much as you did. I do enjoy watching your videos and I'm amazed at how much fun the two of you have and how well you get along. My husband and I usually ended up mad at each other each time we broke down our RV site to head home.

We still aren’t sure on our downsize decision 🤣 but we are pulling out for a 90 day run so we will definitely know how we feel about the decision pretty quickly! We spent our careers working together so the 24/7 thing is just normal for us. We don’t know anything different. RVing can be stressful but we save our getting mad at each other for REALLY important things like the thermostat!
Great video! Again, these airstream are known for their road qualities, so expected! What I find strange: for the price you paid, only 2000w inverter??? Wow. We have the 3000w version with 500w solar… and our Nespresso is just fine for 3 coffees every morning… another thing to buy… oh well, you do what needs to be done, right? Safe travels!

Wowwwww!!! We are jealous. You are going to have an amazing summer! We aren’t planning on being there this year unless the Canadian fires run us off course but we will definitely go back at some point. We would love to meet you as well!
Awesome content, was this a gas or diesel vehicle? Thanks

We have the same model/year, etc Water pressure at toilet is not great whether on pump or city water. Just another adjustment in expectations.

Interesting, ours seems like there is a slight delay in water coming. It dumps the it takes a second for water to flow through. Almost like air in the line every time but no burping or gurgling like air.

For the Price of an Airstream it should have a larger invertor 2023
