Where has Airstream quality gone?

We bought our 2nd Atlas in 2023. We were at WeareAirstream Chandler AZ picking up a 2023 Atlas E1.
During our walk through for which we were charged a mandatory $979, our guide informed us that he knew nothing about the Volta electric system and the Timberline hydronic heat system. Despite WeAreAirstream’s painstaking prep of our new unit, we found:
1. Firefly touch screen in the galley not working - replacement will be delivered in 3 weeks requiring a trip back for replacement....

Inadequate RV inverter

Posted 09-01-2023 at 06:11 PM by Robkhoo
Like all of you RV trailer and motor coach owners, my 2023 Globetrotter came with a woefully inadequate 1000W inverter.

With only a 1000 watts, I couldn’t boil water, make espresso, use a toaster or microwave. In other words, these electricity driven gadgets need 1200 watts or more to operate.

While you can upgrade the inverter to a 2000 or 3000 watt model, that is expensive and not that easy for most of us.

I used a portable Ecoflow Delta Mini power...

Globetrotter external light

Posted 03-24-2023 at 11:25 AM by Robkhoo
Had a light outside a new 2023 Globetrotter 27FB which would not turn off.
The Globetrotter manual is out of date as it states there is a physical switch - there isn’t.
Coach-Net as usual, was useless.
I finally figured it out.
After my frustrating experience with this light, the poorly updated Globetrotter manual, the poor Coach-Net service, I posted a video on the problem and a solution:

Airstream Atlas Problems

We had a 2020 Atlas…due to the pandemic, we only went on a few trips racking up 15,000 miles.
We continued to have Atlas problems:
1. Stabilizer jacks failed to go up - due to loose wiring on driver side. We had a similar problem on the passenger side last year - fixed by Colonial Airstream. This the wire broke on the driver side. Oh yes…there is a mechanism to manually...

Atlas 2020 fridge fixed

Posted 09-19-2021 at 05:39 AM by Robkhoo
After an interminable 6 months, our Novacool fridge was replaced!

We took an RV trip with a working fridge……what most RV owners would consider an essential necessity but even more so, given the high price of this rig.

What a joy to travel with our own food and avoid restaurants as the Delta variant of COVID-19 rages through the country.

I will keep you up to date as I plan to retire to AZ soon.

I am considering a change in my RV because...
