I just noticed a few people recently posted in this older thread, so I’ll give you an update on it.
We used the 2013 Airstream 25fb for two summers. First off, we didn’t have any problems or failures with it at all during that time, it truly was trouble free. It towed great behind my 1999 Ram/ Cummins 2500 and we really enjoyed using it traveling all around the western states. We sold it last fall for much more than we paid for it in just a week. Even though it was trouble free there were several things we wanted that it didn’t have.
Coming out of a truck camper the Airstream’s interior size was fine for us, but we really wanted both a dinette and a separate couch. We also decided we wanted to upgrade to a north / south bed so one person isn’t squeezed up against the back wall. The last big item that would determine that we would need a 2015 or newer if we stayed with Airstream was ducted A/C. After being inside a few fellow campers Airstream’s we couldn’t believe how much quieter the ducted A/C system is.
After watching all of the RV site for sale ad’s for two months, we found what we were looking for a few days before Christmas and I bought it less than 10 hours after it was listed.
We now own a 2018 Airstream 28rb queen bed, it was a one owner that was used very little and stored inside all of the time. The owner was a very meticulous retired engineer, he was one of the few RV owners I’ve ever met that understands all of the systems in a RV as well as I do. That really assured me that it was taken care of and everything was in proper order. It has all of the items on our list plus two ducted A/C’s.
We haven’t got to use it yet as the weather has been way to cold and snowy here. But I expect we will be out on our first trip in early April. I was out at our storage garage today installing the Dish system from our last Airstream.
Happy Camping
