We love this RV. We used to have an Airstream Interstate, but found it too small. The Atlas has hit the sweet spot, at least for us. However, we’ve had our share of problems with it, such things as the shower door falling off; the sliding bathroom door falling off; the Murphy bed release switch breaking; airbag problems; and other related issues. There’s always something, and it seems we spend too much time at the dealership. Patience is definitely needed. Problems aside, it works for us Show less

BEWARE!!!!!The factory will not stand behind their mistakes they made in the original install of my interstate side Windows! I am just now showing rust around ALL my side windows that was created by Airstream allowing metal shavings to imbed in the outside perimeter paint. Now after 6 years the shavings are rusting and windows need removed and paint /body repaired. I have gone thru my dealer in San Diego and Airstream will not cover the $3,200 repair. They admitted this on other forums and paid to cover other faulty installs of the same problem but not after warranty. Problem is that’s when it shows up. Thought Airstream backed their problems they created. Really disappointed. I had six body shops confirm it happened in the factory at install and not treated correctly!!!! Show less

Having owned a 2005 Airstream Sprinter conversion and putting over 90K miles on it with 0 problems, I wanted to have a little more room, and since Airstream doesn't offer slide outs,I bought a new 2013 Winnebago View. Had it less than a year and took a real bath on trade in but could not live with the many poor quality and design issues + Winnebago's awful warranty service. Just a few of the problems that cropped up in the 1st 3 months-- counter tops delaminated. cheap drawer and storage compartment floors bowed and separating from frame. Cheap trim moldings coming off. Tank fill switch so cheap that the handle broke on first use. Very poor under bed storage access--no bar to hold bed base up + not finished off inside. No transfer switch switch from generator to shore power--you have to go to outside to small door in back and reach into unlighted compartment to try to plug shore power plug into gen. receptacle (try it at night in rain) The cheapest TV I have seen in any RV + ugly and cheap mount. Kitchen water faucet cheap and leaky from the start. Mylar spring loaded shower door that has no positive catch to hold it open--slightly touching it results in it snapping back into holder. numerous other quality and design issues that are outrageous on a $130,000 vehicle. Sprinter part was excellent. Winnebago insisted I take it to dealer that was over 70 miles from me in the middle of nowhere requiring me to have someone follow me there to bring me back and then take me back out there to pick it up--this when there are several qualified RV repair facilities within a 10 mile radius of me. As a comparison, Airstream authorized me to take the Interstate anywhere of my choice and send them the bill on the few minor issues when I first got the vehicle + there were no more problems the 5 years and 90K+ miles I put on it--not even a loose screw! This Winnebago was my 6th RV--all 5 of the others put together didn't have as many problems as this View had. Show less

As newbies to RV traveling/camping we love our Airstream Interstate Lounge. The interior fit and finish is what originally lured us into the Airstream brand versus all the others. The upscale overhead cabinets, teak wood look vinyl flooring, and comfortable interior won us over. Since our children are still young, sleeping 4 in this van that's built to sleep 2 by the specs was simple. We use a cabbunk bunk system on our cab seats with no issues. The 6 gallon hot water heater is easy to use for all of us to shower. Heating the coach with the propane furnace is quick and easy. Cooling it with shore power from the rear AC or the generator while underway is also simple enough our kids have learned the drill. The OEM AC unit has 2 settings, LOUD, and LOUDER. We've learned to sleep with is just fine, but will upgrade to a quieter unit in the future. Driveability is second to none! My wife was intimidated at first and 20 minutes later was just fine. She's so confident driving it that she's taken it on solo voyages with the kids and with girlfriends. There are 9 seats with seatbelts, allowing passengers to move around. The layout is ideal, and there is no wasted space. All systems are located so that if maintenance or repair is required there is space and accessibility. There is also a large and helpful community of owners who are very active in helping each other repair/upgrade/use this coach to its full potential. Dumping grey and black tanks could not be simpler or cleaner with its self retracting dump hose and macerator pump. Whether it's a trip across town to Costco, a 10 hour roadtrip, a day at the beach or soccer tournament, we find our Airstream interstate coach a perfect vehicle, and it gets a lot of use. We have upgraded the AGM 12v batteries to AGM 6v batteries to extend the usable amp hours, but for the most part are either on the road or plugged into shore power at a destination. 2015 was the last year of production before power window shades became standard equipment and we're happy to have the manual shades when we read about the powershade problems. As with any RV, a fuse will blow, oil will need to be changed, systems develop issues. If you're handy you can handle 90% of all of these as they arise. The other 10% should be easily repaired as the Sprinter is the backbone of local delivery fleets and parts are readily available. This coach was a wonderful purchase for our family. If you're looking, check out all the class B offerings, and then take a look at the Airstream, if you wind up as impressed as we did, you'll be done shopping. They seem to hold their value better than other brands as well! Show less
