New 2021 globetrotter

[stetsonlaw]

We ordered our first 2021 25' Globetrotter airstream in Oct 2020 and expect it sometime in 2021. Does anyone know how long it is taking to receive their new airstreams? We are not in a hurry since it is winter now but would love to start planning some trips for 2021. I would also like to know what is essential to purchase extra after we drive it off the lot so we can start buying some essentials ahead of time. Does it come with sheets? We got the two twin version in Copenhagen. We look forward to our first trip and getting to know the airstream community.

Stetsonlaw, congratulations and welcome to the Airstream Community and Forums! It’s an exciting time for you. My advice is to contact the selling dealer and get an update directly from Airstream. I’ve seen some recent posts that dates are slipping due to component shortages.

Our Globetrotter’s date was right on schedule but that was April 2019. We were lucky enough to see it on the production line. It arrived at the dealer about a week later.

The Globetrotter does not come with sheets. We got a set of bamboo XL twin sheets which have worked out great.

Good luck and hope to see you down the road sometime!

When we ordered our 30RB in mid August we were told early March delivery. Checked in with the dealer a few weeks ago and told still on track. Fingers crossed.

There are many, many threads on this topic with lots of good opinions. Suggest using the search feature and find some. What is key to the answer is how you intend to use the trailer, how often you will use it, where you will go, how handy you are and do you intend to do repairs yourself, etc.

Thank you so much!

We just ordered ours on Saturday and were told it would be around the end of April, first part of May.

Thank you so much. That gives me encouragement that our should be done around that same time. They must of had a decrease in sales for the winter months since your time frame is similar to ours. We appreciate that you took the time to post that info to us!!!!

You will love your new Globetrotter We took delivery of ours three months ago (27FB)
Best equipment to install:
1. Easy aire easy start for both or single AC regardless if you boondock or not
2. Renogy lithium batteries (100ah or 170ah). They fit like gloves in the battery box leaving rest of storage available and you will never worry about battery life again
3. We installed solar, a great item but don’t have to initially but recommended
4. (2) Honda generators that run from your LP port. We did hutch mountain w conversion kits or you can buy ready to go from Gennox
5. Splurge and get a pizza oven that operates from LP port. (Ask if you have any questions)
Welcome. You bought a great Airstream

Here's my list of necessaries.
TPMS tire monitors
Hitch lock
More flexible power cord if you have 50 amp.
Surge protector. (don't scrimp)
Generator..I'd check Craig's list, be patient.
Better Sewer Hose. Camco Rhino Flex?
Water hose and filter. Zero-G?
Dishes and silverware. Corelle?
Pots and pans. Grill? Blackstone 17"?
Folding chairs
small folding table.
Flamingos!

Thanks. I do have some questions......I think about everything you said. All of it looks good.

1. The easy aire starts, fill me in a bit.

2. I've looked at several different type of the lithiums, I'm just learning about solar, so, new to everything.Why that brand?

3. We got the solar option and like I said, I haven't a clue what we bought or how it all works yet, but I am learning.

4. The Honda Generators. We have two 2000's a regular and a companion, right now we have two 6 gallon boat tanks rigged to them , but I like the propane idea. Fill me in a bit on that also please.

5. We have a Green Mountain Grill with the pizza oven attachment , but cause of reduced storage areas we may not use the GMG and maybe look at a trigger Ranger. What kind of pizza oven do u have?

Thanks for the help.

Question. If you exchange your batteries for lithium, can you retain your converter? We have a 2021 GT with the factory solar panels. Thanks.

I'll take your first question. Here is the website for Micro-air the manufacturer of EZ Start.

I can't describe what it does in technical terms but in layman's terms it lowers (smooths out) the power draw during start up of A/C's. I have one on each of my A/C's and I can run one on 15 amps and both on 30 amps.

The lithium batteries I purchased were from Renogy. They fit in the battery compartment like a glove.

Hi! I just ordered the same model as you did! I am waiting to purchase anything for the stream right now. I was told I will not receive my rig until August, so I am planning on September, it will be a 2022 model.
My favorite YouTube channel is KYD (Keep Your Daydream) who are traveling with an Airstream and they have great suggestions for what you will need, so will your sales person.
