My New 2012 International 23D

[Mifair]

Congratulations! You have a beautiful trailer. What a feeling it is to take delivery of a brand new airstream. Enjoy it and make many new fond memories.
Since taking delivery of ours this past feb, we have logged close to 10k kms from Toronto canada to Florida and the maritimes and have Enjoyed every moment.

Here is our baby . It is a 27fb 2011with the cilantro interior.

Thanks for the info! Agreed - we sleep in a king at home, so no trailer bed would really be "big" to us. We now sleep in separate beds in the Argosy and we'd do the same in a 23D, or would probably even get twins in another model. As always, your mileage/sleeping habits may vary.

All the same, it's a lovely trailer!

MiFair -- that's a beautiful Airstream! The 27' is a great floorplan but was too much for me to tow . . . and it costs quite a bit more, too!

I'm a little tickled picturing 2 adults and 2 dogs in one of these beds. :-) But I'm glad it works for you and the pooches.

And whoever sleeps against the sidewall . . . Do you wear an adult "onesie" to bed 'cuz I just can't imagine bumping bare skin on aluminum on a chilly night! LOL

Hey Gary - the photos are great. Looks beautiful and what a great floorplan! I'm 6' and my other half is 5'10" ... but being the taller of the two hasn't qualified me for "rights" to the outside position. But I've gotten used to the inside position. As far as the cool walls go ... I kind of like the feel of them during the night (but I tend to be pretty hot natured and am always looking for the cool spots). Hope we can coordinate a campout somewhere at a halfway point in the future.

Ho'onanea,
What a gorgeous unit! I love the interior you chose. We have "paprika" and we always keep the seats covered because we're so afraid of marking them up. Your fabric will stand up much better.
We put "bumpers" along the wall in the bed to protect from the cold. They work. They are like crib bumpers for babies (fabric covered foam).
Happy camping!

I'm also looking at the 23D style...I've never seen an Intl Signature in this color scheme-it looks beautiful! What interior color is this? Is it the Mint, which Airstream says is only offered in the Serenity version? Did you special order this version (how did you come across this one)? Thank you in advance!

We have the same trailer. Check out Loblaws for the magnetic spice containers. Each one is a stainless cylinder with a clear lid and magnetic base. I think they come in sets of 4 or 6. They look great on the range hood ( I noticed you have magnets there).

Hi Wishing -- you are correct that the color of the upholstery is marketed only in the Serenity. But money talks! For a $500 change fee, my dealer was able to get the Serenity colors. The main fabric is called Soy Brown and Mint is the accent color. I believe many of Airstream's promotional photographs of the Serenity show these colors in just the opposite arrangement, which is also available. An added benefit of this upgrade is a nicer bedspread and an extra cushion under the TV. For me, it was money well spent -- no regrets.
