My husband and I recently purchased a 2002 19’ Bambi and are very happy with it. We are 20 years away from retiring so wanted a smaller trailer for shorter trips and we didn’t want to upgrade our tow vehicle (1999 Chevy Blazer). I sometimes take the trailer to the campground a day early and have no problems hitching it up or towing it myself. It tows so smoothly behind our Blazer that I sometimes forget I’m towing it.

Our trailer was custom made by Airstream and has a sleep sofa in the front instead of the standard dinette. We prefer the sofa, as we like to have a place to relax with a book or to watch television. Eating in isn’t a problem as we have collapsible tray tables we use.

The kitchen is large enough for our needs and I have cooked many a gourmet meal in it. The refrigerator is a bit on the small side. On longer trips, we usually pack our drinks in a separate cooler to make more room for food in the refrigerator. We have a microwave convection oven instead of the standard gas oven. It works out well unless we are dry camping. There is plenty of storage in the kitchen area which works out well for us, as I like to carry all the modern kitchen conveniences (i.e., toaster, blender, food processor, coffee maker, waffle maker).

I have no complaints about the bathroom except it is a little bit tight for us when we use the facilities with the door closed. I would imagine it would be very difficult, if not impossible, for a tall person. The shower is very roomy and even has a seat in it. We have never had any problems with running out of hot water.

The bed is smaller than a double bed so is very “cozy” for us. My husband is 6’ and his feet hang off the end; I’m 5’9 and my feet touch the wall at the base of the bed. I would imagine it would be less than cozy for taller people.

The gray, black and fresh water tanks in the 19’ Bambi are the smallest in the Airstream trailer line so, if we aren’t camping with full hook-ups, we must be vigilant about frequently checking the status of the tanks. The black tank is only 8 gallons, which won’t last a weekend of dry camping though I’ve heard the newer Bambi’s now come with an 18 gallon black tank.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have other questions!
