We traded a 2021 Atlas for the 2023 to get the new E1 Volta power system thinking it would solve the many problems we had with the power systems on the 2121 which included a complete failure of all solar panels and a cost to us for emergency repairs if over $2,000. Airstream refused to pay for the repairs simply because we did not get prior authorization for repairs at a non-Airstream repair shop. Without those repairs we were dead and 300 miles from a Airstream dealer.
We were so excited to get our 2023 and yet things started going wrong immediately! First the Volta system failed on our first day out and we had to return to the dealer for a complete replacement. After that we started encountering so many issues that it would be hard to enumerate here. After taking it to the Denver Airstream dealer where it sat for 2 months we were told everything was functioning properly. NOT! The AC system would not function even when on shore lower. The microwave and induction stove kept failing. To add insult to injury an electronic module in the Mercedes engine caused the transmission to fail. The vehicle had to be towed 250 miles to Salt Lake City. No that that repair is completed the vehicle is sitting at the Salt Lake Airstream dealer waiting for the Volta system to be repaired again. I am not confident they even have a tech that is qualified to work on the system. To be continued …. In the meantime, DON’t BUY ONE!

We have owned our Airstream Atlas Murphy suite for 3 years and just completed camping in all of the lower 48 states! Everything we didn’t like in our previous Interstate has been corrected in the design of this van. All outdoor supplies (firewood, grilling supplies, chairs, table, outdoor games etc) can be stored in the cabinets on the exterior. This leaves all of the interior cabinets for food, clothing, bedding and entertainment. Having a full bathroom across the back of the van allows for privacy and comfort. everything dries out completely allowing you to easily live in the van for many nights in row. The kitchen is well thought out, the refrigerator and microwave are at a functional height, and there is a pullout pantry for food along the side of the refrigerator. The two recliners and large television are perfect for winding down at night. The murphy bed is very comfortable and the slide out allows you to walk around 3 sides of the bed. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with this RV

This review is for a BaseCamp 20X. This is a copy of the letter I wrote to Airstream/Thor.
To whom it may concern.
After 2 1/2 years of ownership, 11 service visits, and approximately 7 months total, in the shop, I’ve given up on ever getting the advertised airstream “experience”. (It’s currently in the shop since August 10th). I can’t tell you how disappointed I am in your product and its shocking lack of quality and dependability. This was my retirement gift to myself, always wanting to experience the airstream “life on the road”. After looking at other trailers, the BaseCamp 20X seemed like a perfect model to see how we liked RV traveling. Though we spent much more on the BaseCamp compared to the others we looked at, we believed it would be a better quality trailer and be more dependable on the road. We could not have been more wrong!
In the 24 trips we have taken, we have yet to have ONE trip, where everything worked properly and we didn't have to make a list for another trip to service. Here is a brief list of the issues:
1. Heater did not work on our first trip, fixed after the second visit, when I had to tell the dealer that there was a service bulletin.
2. Fresh water tank only is 20 gallons, even though my owners manual and the original information on-line showed 27 gallons. Huge difference! Your customer service said that’s the way it is, no apology of course. Weird how you can misrepresent your product like that with no repercussions.
3. All the interior panels in the bathroom were cracking, and had to be reskinned.
4. Black water flush inoperative. The valve was installed backwards from the factory.
5. LP cover warped, replaced, but is warped again. Looks so cheap.
6. Bathroom floor squeaks loudly, 3 visits to repair.
7. Vinyl floor blistering around same area as squeak around wet bath. 2 repairs. I’m assuming the glue was not good and I will be seeing this again.
8. Gray tank sensor not reading correctly. 2 repairs.
9. Water pump issues. 6 repairs!! They are replacing the pump again on this visit. It’s still in the shop.
10. Propane leak, arrived at campsite with no propane one time!
11. Our last trip, the a/c would barely cool, so we left our trip a day early. They say they can not find anything wrong with it. It has cooled perfectly prior, even in our 110 degree temps in Phoenix. This is a concern, as we travel with 2 dogs and we leave them in the trailer by themselves at times. Not any more, I can’t trust or depend on this trailer to be safe for them.
12. Both rear table tops delaminating. In the shop now for this. Seems to be a problem on other trailer models as well based on a customer I met in service.
13. Approximately a dozen other minor issues that one should not expect at any price. It was easier for me to fix some of them myself, rather than deal with the service department. (For the most part, another huge disappointment)
Until now, I just kept patiently thinking we would get everything fixed for good and not have to be in service so much. After over 2 1/2 years that hasn’t happened, and does not seem that it will. At this point we just feel so duped into believing the airstream quality myth. Once an iconic brand, you seem to be just another Thor trailer company now, only shinier and more expensive. I’m nervous every time we take it out, knowing something else will likely fail, possibly ruining a trip.
We have loved RV living and will continue our camping adventures. Our plan is to upgrade to a 22-23 ft trailer, originally planning on a 23ft flying cloud. Even after all this, we still thought we wanted to stay with airstream. That last cling to your brand was given up on when I dropped it for the current service visit . Another customer in the shop with a new flying cloud, had all the interior panels delaminating! We would feel stupid to pay another 60-70K to upgrade to a larger airstream, and have the quality issues we have now. I can’t pay for a name again.

The Airstream Interstate 19 is a disastrous money pit built by unskilled workers using cheap materials while cutting corners and cost anywhere they can. I have owned mine for over a year and still I'm unable to fix several major issues with the van due to the poor build quality and incompetence of the dealer. I would never recommend this van to anyone. I regret buying it and don't wish this experience on anyone. The list of issues I've had is so long it could never fit in this review so lets just do the highlights. AC is cheap piece of junk that is so loud it can't be used. Most owners end up replacing theirs at a cost of $2000. Battery wiring was wrong and the coach battery kept getting drained. Solar wired wrong. Water pump replaced 3 times. Water heater doesn't work properly so you take cold showers. Shower doesn't drain. Dealer says it's normal. Door panel didn't fit right and damaged the paint. This has never been fixed. Sink leaked. Rain leaked into the cab. Rust on the roof because Airstream drilled holes during installation and never cleaned the metal shavings. Rattles constantly when driving. Suspension is inadequate to handle the 8000 weight so it had to be upgraded at a cost of $5500.
Avoid this vehicle at all costs. It's a nightmare on wheels.

My experiences with our airstream atlas is not great . Being 70 years old my wife and I wanted a small comfortable rv to travel in and chose the atlas even though it was expensive. Currently with 20,000 miles in it I must say that the Mercedes part has been wonderful . Other than dealing with recalls, and having to change the chassis battery , I can say it’s been a joy to drive I take it to my Mercedes dealer once a year for oil change, updating recalls and general inspection before departing on our winter trip . My wife says it’s like driving and riding in a car . I wish I could say the same about the airstream side . It’s has been nothing but issue after issue. We have not taken one trip where something hasn’t happened . Constant issues with the controls on the black and grey tank. Have replaced the black tank valve twice and the grey tank once and still can’t get them to operate properly. Must say it’s not easy being 70 crawling under the rv and opening and closing the tanks by hand to empty each time because the controls malfunctioned. Have taken it to the airstream dealer near me 4 times pertaining to the tank situation only to find that after driving it 125 miles home that there is still issues . Each time the visit averaged costing $ 2000,00. You wouldn’t expect this on a luxury rv costing $250,000.00 . Airstream did awful job with quality and location of various panels to fix things . First time out the water heater had to be reset . You would think the reset would be easily assessable but to get to it you have to take out the drawers under the cooktop and reach to the back taking out two small screws to push the reset button. Unfortunately this had to be done several times which is a lot of work to simply push a button . The couch seems to get stuck in the down position frequently. I found this to be mainly because the fuse would not stay in its position . Finally fixed this with a piece of electrical tape. Problem is you have to take drawers out , lay on the floor and reach to the back of the couch to get to the fuse box for the couch . The door locks on the cabinets are useless as they don’t keep any door closed while traveling. I can go on and on but feel I have spewed enough . Finally I had a good friend within days of buying a new atlas that I sat down with and talked about my issues. He ended up buying a LT Leisure Van instead and loved it . Same floor plan and size with same Mercedes chassis but costing several thousand dollars less .

We bought the Airstream Bambi 22FB specifically because we could tow it behind our Ford Explorer (GVWR 5000lbs). We put several thousand miles on our Bambi with two adults, two children under 5, and two 40lbs dogs. Towing was easy. The smaller size of the Bambi (and the single axle) makes it very maneuverable - great for tight campsites and turnarounds. The layout was great for our family. Our longest trip was two weeks. Thought we would have trouble with the smaller refrigerator/freezer but it wasn't an issue. The limiting factor for boondocking was actually the greywater storage capacity - four quick showers and some hand & dishwashing over two or three days was enough to fill it up. Our longest boondocking session was three nights, four days, in a national park with no hookups... it was perfect!

We received our Atlas Airsteam after waiting 10 months. It been a nightmare. Not one trip without something breaking. Now they said it not covered under warranty, so we need to pay for the repairs on the stabilizer jacks. There a remote control inside the Atlas that raises the jacks. We hit retract and they showed as being retracted on the screen but were not. Moved two feet and now they need to be replaced at 3K. Airstream said they encourage you to look under the vehicle and not rely on the screens. Below is a list to date of all the defects.
1. Water leaking from plastic tubing never crimped, day one never check the water lines at the factory. Had to purchase a crimping tool and crimp the connections.
2. Plugged into the two USB charging ports on the sofa and out popped a piece of black plastic rendering this unusable. These were defective.
3. Exterior storage compartment door hits the exhaust pipe when opening and closing. This has resulted in the door finish being chipped off.
4. The USB charging port above the passenger’s seat not working
5. Luggage door alarm has been an issue for over 10 months, beeping every time you put the vehicle in gea!
6. The large cabinet doors are falling off, the hinge screws are coming out.
7. Wardrobe closet shelf falls from bracket; it was cut to short.
8. Plastic cap located in water fill compartment is broken
9. Silverware and wardrobe closets slide open when driving
10. Picked up RV from schedule service repairs to find water puddles on floor from refrigerator defrosting. This has happened two times to date.
11. Door hinge on camper access door coming apart
12. Exterior coating is cracking where roof meets the rear of the camper, they picked up on a flatbed to be repainted in Jackson Ohio. It was my responsibility to fly out to retrieve it for Maine. I had to pay all the expense to fly and drive it back.
13. Roof white seam tape is peeling off
14. Received recall notice on the emissions 2020 Sprinter
15. Panel under passenger side seat falls off when you open the door
16. Canopy caught on the extender arm and damage the fabric.
17. Airstream recall notice received “cooktop gas may leak”
18. First camping trip after the Atlas was in the shop for two weeks the macerator was not working, Airstream of Ohio found wipes used by the service team jammed it, that was no charge
19. First camping trip after the Atlas was at Mercedes Bens of Scarborough for two weeks the TV would only come up ¾ of the way.
21. Small storage carpet is always wet, photo sent in a previous email to Airstream. They had to replace the gaskets.
22. Couch motor fail, couch in down position for most of the trip, now told it's out of warranty.
23. Re-cracking of the body needs to go back to Ohio to be repaint for the second time. First time they had it for 6 weeks during the best camping seasons.
24. Sofa failing to return to the upright position
25. Stabilizer jacks not extending, “stabilizers down” alarm sounds when in drive mode until silenced
26. At different time the recliner does not work that closest to the front of the cab
I would not recomend anyone by an Airstream Atlas.
