Yup, we've bailed for a hotel once. It was Memorial Day and we booked the last site at a Maryland State Park. That site was maybe suitable for a tent or a VW camper van. We fought that site for hours. Finally, we pulled out, went to the state park's resort hotel (they had one - how convenient), parked the Sub, booked a room, and went straight to the bar for martini's. It happens...
Guys, I feel so bad for you and it is amazing how well you are handling what I would call an "RV crisis". We all support Airstream because we love our Airstream's but enough should be enough. You need to find a quality Lemon Law attorney and send that junk back.
Unbelievable, truly disappointing!!! I want things to get better for wander local!! Dash is rocking life😁, he is adorable ! Hum, wonder if airstream is going to make this right?
I admire your patience with the vans challenges. The company should exchange yours for a “new” fully tested van. The level of goodwill created would address the amount of negative comments regarding the van. Road Warrior Dash is looking as happy as ever. 😀
Wow guys im so very sorry . Seems like this van is more headache n heartache then fun . I also would send it back get your money back . Travel in the airstream or build out your own van . Hugs n my love always ❤️ From Michigan, Tam ❤❤❤❤
@@Wanderlocal I could c U n D doing this it would be great content also . I would love to watch U 2 build your own van ... U could make it the way U want it .... mucho Love ❤️ 😍 💖
Hope Airstream will take care of you guys. As for gas mileage, you always get better gas mileage heading east. That may be part of the reason for the increase.
When we were full time RVers our kids were grade school age and sometimes we would stay in a hotel. Our kids loved indoor pools, cable tv and the hotel breakfast
I’m so sorry 😢 that’s an absolute nightmare for you guys. I hope it’ll all sort out. The best solution would be that airstreams buy it back from you guys. We’re keeping you in our prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Almost 2 months have past since this video so I hope you’ve worked everything out. You’re way more patient than I could ever be. I would have gotten rid of it long, long ago.
I’m so sorry you are dealing with more problems in the van. I had no idea when I saw you at Airstream-Tampa that there had been additional problems as you ventured across the United States. I, on the other hand, am thoroughly loving my new Trade Wind (BRN #1889) and I hope to see you guys at International this fall. Be safe, stay positive and hug Dash for me!
So sorry for all the issues you’re having with the van. Interesting to see your trip to the Supershow, before we met at the content creators meet up. Best wishes for you guys and the van problems. - Jim
I agree if you really want van life Grech is the ticket. Im not anti-Airstream i have a FC27. Maybe they can work out the bugs on your van but so far the track record is not so good. Wish you the best. Hope you and Dash are feeling better soon.
It might be a good time to say goodbye to the 🍋. Because it's more about the safety of your family and the 💵 that you're putting in this for more problems after problems to occur.
Hi Lauren and Daniel, I was so happy you got the van back and then the windshield and now the heat. 😢 I pray you figure out this lemon van. How disappointing! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Don't feel bad about staying in a hotel you deserve to be warm and comfortable. Dash loves it and he is so cute. ❤
I know you really missed the alde heat in your classic! Yes it's a lemon. Dash is so cute,wait till ha changes the channel on you in the middle of a good movie! Stay safe.
I support you both 100% and suggest that you return that piece of junk and consider alternative companies. They’re not the only rv companies. Sooooo sorry and good luck. Take care of Dash. 😮😮😮
I have totally bailed on the idea of van camping. Cost, poor reliability, and difficulty finding campsites. My truck and a bed tent but mostly nice hotels.
Hey there Fernandez fam! My loyalty runs to you guys, not Airstream. I'd be worried sick if you were my kids in that van with my grandbaby. I'm sure you've already done something in the almost 2 months since this video was recorded (I hope!) In the meantime, hope Tokyo was a blast and you're enjoying your time in Japan! 🏯 Love from the Jersey Shore 🏖, Joan
You should custom build a van. Limitless van in Washington state did awesome job for my daughter. I’m so jealous. I unfortunately bought a Thor Tranquility Mercedes 4x4 and have had terrible time getting things fixed. Not with Mercedes but with LaMesa service center. Currently the Charging system is not reliable and since I’m a solo traveler and travel off grid a lot I need a reliable system. Goes back again March 18th. Feel for you. Hope you get things resolved. Wish me luck! Love your channel❤️
I would get rid of that van ASAP. It is just incredible the stuff you have been through with this thing. I would have chucked it a long time ago. Airstream makes great tow behind trailers , but that van is just trash. I am glad we have seen all this with this thing. So many people have wanted one but after seeing all this, they are rethinking.
I think you should decide what your family’s comfort needs are and start with that. It’s your home for goodness sake. It needs to feel like you want to live in it. If it doesn’t work, do something else. I would feel like I was cheating if I would prefer to go to a hotel to get relief, unless you were at a place that had no accommodations whatsoever to park, or your home was in the shop.
If that was my van Id be driving it right back to the factory service centre in Ohio….Id be getting them to go over entire rig…..electrical/ plumbing everything. I am sure they would do this ….. and resolve all ur issues. Imo u should of done that as soon as ur problems began for ur rig. The level of service there is top notch. If it is a true lemon they would of dealt with that as well. And if u weren’t satisfied u could of just walked over to there HQ and demanded to speak to someone in management who could solve ur issues. call Jackson centre make an appointments. Send an email with all the issues u have had and have cc the CEO of AS. 😀
So sorry to hear of continuing problems. We bought a globetrotter from Airstream of Tampa 2 years ago and love it. Airstream should buy back the van with all the problems and total lack of trust. Just wouldn’t want to take it out on a trip. Best wishes really enjoy your guys
Hoping Grech comes to Canada. Love my AS trailer but down the road I would like a van. At the RV show here last month….nothing matches the AS vans. Been disappointed in the Pleasure way and Leisure way yes they are nice but still not at level of AS. Hoping a Grech is as good in person as looks in the videos. On AS side they probably build way more vans than Grech…..so how many come off the line with major issues….percentage for each manufacturer.
I really do love you guys and enjoy your adventures but my thought is get rid of the van! It’s a lemon and isn’t big enough or comfortable enough for your family! Also, having Dash way in the back would bother me…
Good video 😊 just saying that van has problems not built correctly lot of electrical equipment not talking to each system Airstream not as good as it was you should have learned your lesson the first time things went bad don't understand a 300 thousand pieces of equipment that was that's no good don't exchange the van get a new one or just get rid of it you should just go from hotel to hotel In some other vehicle 🤔😆
Ok guys … look I love u all … but at some point you need to say “enough is enough “ sell this thing and either stick with ur old rig or buy a 5th wheel… get rid of this thing… just saying❤
Dump that van. OMG we’re tired of the B-word about the van. We all know it’s a lemon. Please just face it: it’s over with the van. Ya’ll were much happier in the regular Airstream.
