This issue doesn't seem like one you'd have to travel to Ohio to get fixed. It looks like you should still be under warranty so I would call or contact Airstream, let them know how unhappy you are...

We bought our first trailer last year, a Nest, and having never towed anything in my life I was pretty apprehensive. It's 16'7", hitch weight is 375 pounds, dry weight is 3400 and gvwr is 4000...

I have a 2018 Tacoma Sport, double cab, long bed and it tows our Nest (3400 # dry) just fine. It does have the tow package. On the dash below the radio is a button labeled ECT PWR (electronically...

We bought a Nest last year which is 16’7” and I would concur with almost everyone else that this size will be too small for four people. Two works well for us. It’s a huge step up from a tent! But...

We bought a 2020 Nest this season which has both a composite floor and a tankless water heater. We love the floor. It seems durable and is easy to keep clean. As others have noted the water heater...
