RV Tour Of An Airstream Basecamp X
In this video from 2020, Chris and Aaron tour an Airstream Basecamp X with owner Cass. They were surprised at how spacious this 16-foot trailer was. The interior height is over six feet, and with all the windows, the Basecamp doesn’t feel as small as they thought it would.
The front of the trailer is the kitchen, and Chris points out some cool storage cargo nets that come with the Basecamp to provide storage overhead in the kitchen. A wet bath is in the center of the unit, and the rear is the bedroom.
Cass explained that she changed the sleeping area so that she has a custom bed instead of the benches. It’s a real mattress, which is critical for a good night’s sleep for full-time RVers. There are two more cargo nets in the back to store clothes, work equipment, and more.
Trouble Finding Boondocking And Nosy Neighbors At RV Parks

They drove around for over an hour before finally finding spot for their Outdoors travel trailer. Chris and Aaron shared about how this is a common experience when searching for a boondocking location, but they always feel like it’s worth it.
Later in the video, Chris shared about a neighbor in the last RV park who mentioned to a ranger that they weren’t picking up after their dogs.
She felt offended by these false accusations as they take always clean up their dog poop. Aaron added that they were potty-training one of their dogs and going out often, but they never ever leave poop on the ground.
Walkthrough of Entire 2020 Airstream Trailers Lineup by Full Time RV’ers
Irene Iron Travels walks through eight models of the 2020 Airstream trailer lineup in this video taken at Airstream of Scottsdale. They tour the Basecamp, Nest, Bambi, Caravel, Flying Cloud, International, Globetrotter, and Classic. Chris and Aaron chatted about which trailer would best suit them if they were in the market for a new Airstream.
Once instead the Caravel, Chris liked the 22 feet and how much larger it felt than their Interstate campervan even though it’s similar in length. One of the coolest features was the front hatch in the Flying Cloud model that opens up to allow the outdoors to come in. However, Aaron shared that the size of the Flying Cloud is too much for their needs.
As Irene Iron Travels walked through each model, they could see the transition to the higher finishes from the International to the Globetrotter to the Classic. The most luxurious and the biggest is the Classic, which measures 33 feet long.
At the end of the video, Chris and Aaron shared that the 25-foot International Serenity would be the model they would walk off the lot with if they were shopping for an Airstream travel trailer. They like the layout, color scheme, and size.
