We left DC in March, pulled our Airstream over 24,000 miles so far and took some pics

We've been visiting tech hubs across the US & Canada for the past few months. We tend to spend Mon-Thurs parked behind coworking spaces in various cities (hello from Fort Wayne, IN today!) and try to spend the weekends in national parks / BLM areas.

It turns out, Airstreams are photogenic (and sometimes we are too) -- here are some photos of the trip so far.

WOW - some excellent pictures. I can't wait for the time for us to be able to leave for a couple months going out west. Especially love a fellow Raptor TV. Have you gotten to head off road out west with your truck? Not many (actually not any) places here in DC area to "turn left" off the road and just go.

Now that you have driven all over the place how has your Raptor worked as a TV in the various conditions I am sure you have ran into by now?

BTW - I am guessing that Jack is your pup - very good looking and I bet a great camping companion. We have the female version - Biscuit. Looking forward to hearing more about your Airstream adventures.

We haven't done much "real" offroading. The closest, I think, we've gotten to that was over in Sedona, AZ where we unhitched the Airstream on some BLM property and then took the truck up in the hills to find some interesting photos to shoot.

As for using the Raptor as a TV, it's been pretty solid. The most challenging part has been steep climbs (for example, the peak of I-70 west of Denver) but we made it.

Jack's our English Lab and I'm not quite sure he understands that we live in an Airstream full time. Every time we open the door, he seems to think we're in an entirely new place and wants to smell E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. Oh, wait, that's just what Labs do.

Welcome to The Fort. My hometown and now live about 50 miles away on one of the many Indiana Lakes. What tech hub are you visiting in Fort Wayne?

We're hanging out at The Atrium this week for a bunch of talks, workshops and office hours this week.

The Airstream is parked a block away right off of Main St.

Nice Pics! The star one is amazing.

Paul, How do you like the raptor as a TV? Does it perform well? Is it 4x4?

Thanks
Rich

I can tell you from my experience that I have had no issues towing our 25, but we also have not been to the Rockies so I asked Paul already and he has had good experience too. BTW - Raptors are only 4x4s with no option for 2wd.

I cannot speak for the 2017 models with the V6 engines concerning being a tow vehicle. Both mine and Pauls are the 6.2L V8 models.

A buddy of mine just bought the Tundra TRD Pro and he loves it - but he has not towed anything with it.
