Airstream Globetrotter reviews

This RV is awesome! We love the quality and craftsmanship Airstream offers. The materials used inside and out are of the highest quality. The Globetrotter has lots of great storage throughout. The bathroom and shower are nicely sized and well thought out along with all of the other living areas. Show less

Bought new in 2020. Have been on several short trips (max 4 hour drive each way) with it. New to hard side camping and have 2 little kids that are hard on everything. Tow this with a Ram 2500 Diesel. The dealership in SLC was fair and honest, did a great job. We have had no major issues but some learning curve items. To winterize this model the water pump is hidden behind a panel that has to be removed. That detail is omitted from then owners manual. Yes, you have to destroy the panel to remove it. Positives: the timeless airstream design and shell makes for an easy aerodynamic bumper pull tow in the Wyoming winds. The quality is very solid generally with a few exceptions. Nothing has broken, fallen off, etc. The instant on water heater is glorious. We got dual zone AC model and it is a great feature. The heater will keep you warm on a cold night, easy. The kitchen is small but works with effort. The entire plumbing system is well thought out and easy to implement from city water in/boondocking to tracking the grey and black tanks to emptying them when required.The furniture and bed are comfortable and easy changed in configurations as needed. Tires, suspension, lights, cabinets, electric, fuse panel all well engineered. Windows are well placed and provide a great view. The essential bones of this trailer are a cut above-well built and well engineered. The awnings all work well and retract easily, no flail here. Storage is more than adequate for our minimalist 4 person family. There is a solid powered vent in each of the main area, shower and bathroom-nice touch. Cons: -the windows like to stick shut and it is a 2 man job opening them. Takes just a few seconds but you GOTTA have 2 people; 1 inside and 1 outside. -Much of the non essential paneling is veneer fiberboard like you find in IKEA furniture. Really? In a $100,000 airstream? Essential structures are solid but they went cheap anywhere they thought you wouldn’t look. -No auto level function. Not the end of the world, but you will invest a few minutes at each camp. -the shower door is cheap crap, not even Walmart sells stuff this bad. -In our model the kitchen counter space is limited. You play Tetris at meal time. -Kitchen storage is a little light, bedroom storage is voluminous. Overall very solid and we would buy it again. Show less

Purchased this Globe Trotter in 2019. Problems I have had, 1. all the clear coat is peeling and underneath the clear coat is some kind of nasty looking groth , 2. the front AC never worked. I took it to Sutton RV and they told me that Airstream refused to fix it under warranty. Why Doesn't Airstream warn people you can not take these trailers close to the coast or you will have this disgusting stuff forming on all the aluminum. Be aware of them they lie when they sell it and tell you what a good warranty they have. Show less

I have had an amazing tome with my Airstream. This excellent historically beautiful creation has people stopping me to take photos all the time. I am single and have done all the travelling by myself and it’s an easy trailer to handle, especially with the automatic awning!! Show less

I have had a lot of experience camping. I truly enjoyed owning the classic airstream…it is quality. I am a person who likes nice things and this is above and beyond cool. I loved the stereo system and really enjoyed the floor plan in the Globetrotter. I could do everything myself and with ease. I really liked the aromatic awning and all the mood lighting. I will miss everyone wanting to take photos…because it’s just that neat. Show less

Best made recreational vehicle period. Hand crafted fit, and finish of high quality components provides the RV enthusiast with a turn key problem free open road experience. That is the reason once you move up to the Airstream quality, you will never go back to the mass produced varieties. The high resale value is just an extra bonus. Show less

Bought the Globetrotter to use on the West Coast, we have an International Serenity 23FB here on the East Coast. We particularly like the wrap around windows on the front and the back of the Globetrotter, although I do prefer the bathroom in the 23FB. Very happy with the Globetrotter. While in storage in LA it was hit and dented by some 45' class A parked next to us. Airstream LA had it as good as new in 3 days to the tune of $10,200 (funny, my daughters trailer cost about the same as fixing a dent in my Airstream). If you can afford it, buy an Airstream. Note that Airstream is the only RV manufacturer with a nationwide dealer network with factory trained technicians. You don't have to bring it back to the guy you bought it from. Show less
