What was Airstream thinking (part 2)?

And yet you decided to buy the Airstream knowing it did not have a 12v plug...so why complain after the fact? Airstream uses an inverter as their option for those needing to run AC appliances...not to many other manufacturers do that. That is actually a more expensive option to install than a 12v plug that would only cost a few bucks. If I had a specific need for a 12v plug, I would have asked the dealer to install it as part of the deal. I guarantee you they would have done so to close the sale. Lastly as a few have mentioned, most RV's today do not include a 12v plug so, this is not unique to Airsteam. Most RV's don't include an inverter (unless they are high end) and the Airstream does. These are not marketed to those that boondock. For those that boondock, they usually set up a solar system with 12v plugs to go with them. Your dealer can do that as an installed option. AS has been around for many many years (ownership has changed) and, they will be around for many years to come. They can't build them fast enough for demand in fact, they recently announced an expansion of their factory and the addition of 300 jobs to keep up with demand. Install the plug and enjoy the AS. Bet RV we have ever owned....it's a keeper for us.
