Just a note, you should hold the slide button down 3~5 seconds after it has stopped with a Schwintek slide system. Otherwise it will eventually get out of time.
I have been watching video after video of the Atlas and you are the first to show it with the slide in and to let us know the Murphy bed works with the slide in. Thank you for a more detailed video.
I love everything about this unit, except for the price. It is pricy. Maybe I will get lucky and two years from now someone will regret buying this and it will be appropriately priced. Love your guys content. Keep it up!
Yes, we agree it is really beautiful and comfy inside! A lot more space than our Interstate for sure, but always a trade-off on maneuverability. Nothing wrong with waiting for that perfect deal! Thanks so much for watching and the nice comment! -Aaron😀

Thanks for the tour of the Atlas by Airstream. My two likes you showed off were one the dry bath, and outside underbody storage boxes. You stated you are 6-foot 2-inches so I'm wondering if the Murphy bed would work for us. As Irene showed off the added head extinction makes some added space. (truly if you did not show me that, I don't think I would be planing a time to view) Wonderful showing and well worth a tour of our own thanks, guys. "The Butter comment was funny"
Thanks for watching! I did not try laying in the bed, but it is measured at 73'' x 73'', so it might be kinda tight for people over six foot. Now you have me wondering............. next time I see one I will try it out! - Aaron
@@IreneIronTravels Understand that. My main interest was the head extension in the headboard area was of much interest to me. Thank you as you guys make it worth a review by us.
Great video. How is Scottsdale? We will be in Havasu next week and Scottsdale the following week for two weeks of Ironman training. Look for BiG RED. Bright red Travato
A lot of moving parts! Warranty? One thing with Airstream - You need to read the fine print. If your RV dealer can't/won't fix your RV under warranty, it is your obligation (and at your cost) to get the coach back to the point of manufacture for repairs.
Airstream and MB warranty are 36 months/36k, but we have never bought a new RV and had to go through the process. I prefer to buy slightly used (save money up front) and deal with any repairs my self. Thanks for watching!
Great video, guys! I currently own an Airstream travel trailer, and am very seriously considering either the Atlas or Interstate for full-time living (I think I'd prefer a motorcoach over the trailer). Your opinions about size/maneuverability will be taken into consideration. Also, I find it extremely impressive that both of you find the time and motivation to stay so fit while being permanently on the road. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! What TT do you have? We just did a walk through of all the models and it was interesting to see them. It's kinda funny...... can we ever be happy with our choice?? So many of us are trying to find the perfect fit! The Interstate wins hands down for driving and the Atlas wins hands down for living space with the slide out. Currently for our travel style, the Interstate is the perfect choice. Thanks so much for watching! -Aaron
@@IreneIronTravels Thanks for the quick reply! I currently have a '19 Flying Cloud 19CB. Before that one, I had a Flying Cloud 26RBT that I loved (& kind of regret downsizing). Don't get me wrong though, I really like both of them for different reasons. Ironically, I just finished viewing your video over the Interstate. You're so right, man.....what exactly IS the perfect choice?? Ha! My only concerns with the Interstate are the wet bath and something you mentioned: not sure how comfortable the contoured bed will be. My local dealer in Austin is going to allow me to view an Atlas they have coming in this month for a customer (I obviously won't be able to drive it, but at least I can check it out). I'm looking forward to checking out both models and figuring out what fits my needs. In the meantime, I'll keep viewing your informative videos. Have fun on the road!
@@bradwomack7249 We owned a 2018 Grand Tour EXT, and just sold it. We have a few kids and 2 retrievers and LOVED the size, carrying capacity, and drive of the interstate. However lack of Air suspension for the back folks, and having to run the Generator for AC in the back, and small isle for 4 people and two dogs..... well we are now leaning towards the Atlas. The goal is to stay mobile...sprinter van size. Have a B van makes life easy with kidos while driving. My concern now is the limited carrying pounds in the Atlas.
Great walkthrough & appreciate the reviews you guys do! We are thinking about purchasing the Atlas but the low OCC weight have us concerned. At just over 900 lbs, with full tanks, not much weight left over for storage. But we both love the layout
Hello, thank you! Yes, the extra weight of the B ➕ on the sprinter chassis lowers that OCC unfortunately. Beautiful rig as you said. Tough decisions for you guys! We carry about 2000 lbs of extra on our van as full timers, if that helps. It does add up quick!
@@IreneIronTravels Cot dayum! That’s a lot of weight. We will be full timers as well but have rental properties across the US that hold most of our possessions. Think workout equipment is out for the Atlas, we’ll have to travel light, if you don’t mind me asking, how did you get a weight measurement on all your cargo?
The base weight of our Interstate is about 8800 lbs( according to the brochure) and so I just subtracted that from our total weight from a CAT scale. That is one of the reasons we chose this van for its 2286 OCCC weight. We just started using some resistance bands that we really like and are a lot lighter than our 150 lbs of adjustable dumbells!😳. Chris is writing some guest blogs for them. The company is called Undersun fitness. undersunfitness.com/a/blog/irene-iron-fitness-van-life-transformation-month-1-the-olympic-peninsula Anyways.....that will be nice to store your possessions at your properties. Have you guys looked at the Interstate also? Definitely a lot more living space in the Atlas!
@@IreneIronTravels Appreciate the reply, we’ll have to load up our SUV with whatever we plan to take on the Atlas & get it weighed. Great tip regarding CAT scale! Yes we are STILL back & forth between the Interstate & Atlas actually. Our dealer ordered both, said they would be able to sell whichever one we did not go with. They should both be in mid November so we still have some time. The Interstate main sell for us was the 4 wheel drive. Just purchased a small..(very small lol) cabin by the slopes here in CALI as we snowboard quite a bit..that extra stability on the curvy roads up the mountains is a huge plus. That & the carrying weight of course. The Atlas however with the extra room for the pups & just everyday comfort, plus the independent shower & larger TV ultimately sold us, but still have time to decide. Thank you for the link to the bands, will definitely check out as we have adjustable weights as well but that’s a no go on the Atlas especially with our One Wheels which is a must have travel companion I highly recommend. onewheel.com/ Thank you again for the content you two put out, have been a srs inspiration to us to give the travel life a must try. Safe travels & keep the vids comin.
Enjoy your vids. Murphy bed…in my opinion ecellent for vacations…but I won’t want to make the bed up every night full timing. Even though sheets and all can be folded up, a bedroom somewhat separate is my preference. Have you ever checked out the Pleasure Way or Leisure Way travel units? Excellent quality with a slightly lower price.
Thank you! While van shopping we did check out the PW Lexor TS and the Plateau. Nice units! Have not seen a LTV yet , but have heard good things! Thanks for watching! -Aaron
Great video , my only issue with the atlas is exterior storage compartment doors .... they only open perpendicular to the truck body forcing me to bang my head , and have to go on my hands and knees to access storage .....
Thanks! Interesting point. I never really think about the exterior storage much, as we don't have any on our Interstate. I'll have to check that out next time we see an Atlas!
For that kind of money I would have liked to see them ditch the propane, go with diesel heat, an induction cooktop, a compressor fridge, and bump up the electric components with a lithium battery bank, a 3000 watt inverter, and 400 watts of solar on the roof. Those changes could be easily incorporated at that price point.
Could not agree more. They don't even seen to be offering this as an option so you would need to add these from 3rd party vendors and who is to say id that void your warranty trying to make this a real option for boon-docking.
That is nice, but I purchased a 2018 LTV with basically the same options and layout. 30000 miles and only $99k . The LTV is made in Canada and quality built. even a 2020 with same style/options is less than an Airstream. Yes I think Airstream has made a nice B+, but well over my budget. I can take the other $128000 and purchase a rental property to offset the monthly payment on my 2018.
Excellent review. I didn't see the "eating" mode but rewinded the video and saw there is a couple of screw holes on the floor for a post to build a table?
i wonder if that shower is big enough to put a stool for the disabled inside.. only thing i wish they had in RVs was like a soaking style tub.. something with a seat that one can soak aching joints and things in without having to stand under a shower.
@@IreneIronTravels yeah i know.. its almost like disabled people are just supposed to stay home.. the battle my PT had to go through just to qualify me for a walker... was insane.. insurance doesnt want to cover it, unless you cant get around your own home without one... whereas i mostly need it for walking longer distances(such as to the bus, or from the bus to the store), so i dont tire out too much and fall over and injure myself..
Look like the professional did it plenty of money was spent could have bought one already built off the lot less looks perfect to perfection cleaning new plus put up frigerator is important to me u have fun neat details in your
Great video reviews! Now that you have personally seen the 2020 Atlas and Interstate, if you had the opportunity which would you lean towards? The space on the Atlas is nice, however the limited carrying weight, might be a factor. My wife LOVES the Atlas and Sprinter chassis. My worry is that once we load up with the dogs, water, gas- not really enough carrying capacity for much more. Why they offer 4 seat belts, when it cant really be loaded up like the Interstate :-(
Hello! For us it would no question be the Interstate. You're right on the OCCC being 1,000 more lbs than the Atlas and that would be tough for us being full time. We would be wayyyyyy over weight on an Atlas. I've seen a lot of Motor homes with under 1,000 OCCC and you said it,...... that would add up fast. But, everyone's needs are going to be different. The Atlas is really nice and we would love to have that extra space, but we prefer the true B van bodies and being able to be more nimble while traveling. Thanks a lot for watching and commenting. Good luck with your decision! - Aaron
there's no way (unless a person is 5' tall) someone can lay on that bed with their head toward the wall of the slide out & feet toward the galley. Laying the other way w/feet toward the cab is the only way.
Great video! If you were to switch from your Interstate to this; Are there places you’ve been that this wouldn’t have fit? Do you think you could park this in NYC for example?
Thanks! We definitely prefer the maneuverability of the true class B. You could take a B plus into NYC, BUT it would not be a easy and comfortable drive like it was in our van.( or recommended ) The B plus is 25 ft long over 10 ft tall and over 8 ft wide. It just doesn't compare to a true B. But that is the benefit for the inside of the Atlas. It is huge compared to our van! - Aaron
I want this video bc I'm going to purchase a B+ airstream, but totally ended up mesmerized by the beautiful woman so much that didn't focus on the RV. Lol She has really cool energy & she's gorgeous!!!
Yes, BIG difference in these two vans. The Atlas is roughly 3 inches longer, 10 inches taller, and 8 inches wider. It doesn't sound like much on paper, but the extra width alone will make it much more difficult in the city. If mobility and ease of driving and parking is a big priority I would lean towards the Interstate. On the other hand the Atlas is much roomier inside and is more comfortable with the extra height, width and slide out. But, make sure you look at and drive these in person to get the full effect of what it is like.
We're with you Mary, the Interstate speaks to us too! The extra space of the Atlas is really nice, but the Interstate has the true van maneuverability. - Aaron
I LOVE this RV! Just took a look the 2021. The silliest, but imperative, thing was a deal breaker for me though. Why on earth are the two pedestal tables the size of dinner plates? They're tiny! Just thinking that if I'm on the sofa, and want to eat or use my laptop, I have to go to the center of the couch and the tiny table isn't even big enough to hold my small laptop and a cup of coffee... let alone a single dinner setting. And, the drink cup holders are way over by the sofa arms nowhere near the minuscule table. The same issue exists with the tiny pedestal table for the cab chairs- it doesn't reach in front of either of them.
Question for you two, would you rather have the 2020 Airstream Atlas Murphy Suite or the 25' Airstream International? I know one is a B+ and one is a trailer and there are advantages and disadvantages to both but curious which one you would rather have leaving money out of it.
That's a great question! I just asked my wife and we got a good hypothetical conversation out of it! But, we both agree if we were to switch from our true Class B Interstate we go with a truck and 25' International. Currently we love the ability to drive and park almost anywhere in our van. Since the Atlas ( we feel ) is too big to park in most urban areas it takes away the nimbleness. So space wise the trailer would win out and would still have the option to drive the truck around. - Aaron
Irene Iron Fitness Right on and thank you for answering my question. We have had a really difficult time going back-and-forth on that very question. There’s a van company in Canada that builds luxury van conversions that compete with the atlas and after looking at all of our options the versatility of parking the trailer and leaving in our truck seems very satisfying.
It is tough to choose for sure! Pros and cons to both. Our travel style dictates our choice of the van right now. We did one loop around the states in the past 14 months and didn't even scratch the surface! So, we will continue to move fairly quickly ( 1-2 weeks) and enjoy this beautiful country. If , we slow down we may consider changing rigs. We do both really "feel at home" when we go in an Airstream trailer though.😁
Hello. Yes! We did not try it, but I did find this video from Airstream that states you can. It is at about the 1:03 minute mark. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vO9qpVHd3lQ.html Thanks!
Just found out I can order a large, after-market, extendable Laguun table to solve my concern in the seating area. Another question though- is there an electrical outlet in the galley by chance?
That's great! Yes, there should be an electrical outlet under the upper cabinet by the led lights in the galley. Same as in our Interstate and it is really handy to plug stuff in.
Hello. We did not test drive the Atlas, but we did ride in the back as the salesmen moved it from the back of the lot to the front. It was a short drive, but we could defiantly fell the sway a lot more than our Interstate. I would guess it would be a noticeable difference between the two driving.
Since there’s no B plus registry why don’t they just call them what they are , a compact C since it has a slide out. 🤣 Great vid though you guys are great
I would love to see ARV do a unit with a slide murphy bed like this unit or Winnebago's Era 170M. The lack of a Volta power system would be a sticking point for me on this coach.
To be honest, this Airstream model, has borrowed all the features that come with the Leisure Travel Vans (out of Canada) MB model. LTV was doing this exact floorplan before Airstream decided to do one. Not putting LTV down, by any means ... the Airstream version does have a more elegant, sophisticated, look and feel though. But I'll bet there's a price to pay for that sophisticated look.
@@IreneIronTravels You will love them. And sense you are experienced RV owners. I look forward to your critque of the LTV. They have a nice model lineup ... with regard to floorplans.
I’ve watched five different walkthroughs of this exact model and not one bothers to show the table in use. Removable tables vary from so-so to insultingly unusable, not showing this essential feature seems like a massive oversight.
No one shows this one because it is hidden so well under the sofa. I had to do some digging after some one asked. Here is a short video from Airstream ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SOFJRvRxGJo.html
A new Sprinter chassis maintenance might look something like this, but you would want to talk to a MB Sprinter dealer near you for exact details. Synthetic motor oil replacement Every 20,000 miles or 1 year for diesels / Every 15,000 miles or 1 year for gasoline engines Cabin dust/combination filter replacement Every 40,000 miles Brake fluid exchange Every 2 years Wiper blades set Every 10,000 miles Spark plugs replacement Every 30,000 miles or 3 years (gas engines only) Engine air filter replacement Every 60,000 miles or 3 years for diesels / Every 45,000 miles or 3 years for gas engines Transmission oil & filter replacement At 40,000 miles and then every 60,000 miles or 3 years for diesels/ At 30,000 gas engines Fuel filter replacement (diesel models) Every 20,000 miles or 1 year (diesel engines only)
They are not a 4 season as they have exposed water lines and tanks under the RV. You could do a little modification and if you have the electrical hook up and make it work. We RV in the 30's and have no problem, but colder would be tough. Thanks for watching!
Yes, we would. For our travel style (big cites, boondocking, face paced travel) it makes more sense to have a true class B over the larger B+. The Atlas has a ton more livable space for sure and has way better outside storage, but we love the Interstate! The case can be made going the other way as well. Thanks for watching - Aaron
The Atlas is wider than a standard Sprinter van chassis, which can limit some of the places you can park. Check out the Interstate model which is the same dimensions as a van for more parking options! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kYZeAZz-U4I.html
Omg 😱 i ❤️ this van awesome 👏 i always watch vans on RU-vid i wish i have one 😔 I’m new subscriber my dream is to search 100k so i can buy me a van i have Bose headphones 🎧 they are great too
