OK. Here goes. We have had our Bambi since last June, and have traveled the southern California mountains, beaches and deserts and have had a ton of fun. We have boondocked, and stayed in full hookup sites. I prefer the boondock sites as they tend to be in National Forest, BLM or State Park campgrounds and are mostly less crowded and in scenic areas. We like the Bambi because it allows us to go most anywhere, whereas once you get above 25' or so, some of the National Forest etc. campgrounds can't accomodate.

The Bambi has all we need, double bed, dinette (we play cards/games alot) full bathroom (though I do find the toilet a little cramped to sit on I am 5'11" 200), full kitchen etc. It is very cozy on cold (below freezing) nights in the mountains, and plenty of room most of the time (we have had five for dinner at the dinette). Extras on the Bambi are: Fantastic Fan, Electric Tongue Jack, Screen Door Guards (we have two Maltese) Type 31 Battery, Honda EU2000i Generator.

We have a collection of oldtime radio plays like The Shadow, Inner Sanctum, Jack Benny, Life of Riley and enjoy listening to them when making breakfast or after dinner. My wife says there will never be a TV in the Bambi, and so far she's right. For the most part, unless we had Satellite, we couldn't get reception where we generally go anyway.

I find the Bambi to be really well engineered and the double skin of the Airstream makes it really well insulated for both temperature and sound. Only problem I have is our black water tank is only 6 gals. Newer Bambi's have 18 gals, which I may upgrade to. Definately recommend the Honda generator, which if boondocking about 2 hours run time in the late afternoon/evening gives plenty of battery to last into the next day even when using the heater all night.

Also, I have had occasion to camp in the middle of the desert, no campground, just drive off a dirt road into the desert, and had no problems. Don't think you could do that with a bigger trailer.
