Not every Airstream rental is a camping trip. Some of the trips we make most are to Bay Area driveways for holiday guests, and to venues where a group or an event wants a row of polished aluminum trailers. Here is how that works. Four Airstreams hitched and loaded at sunrise, heading out for a delivery. Guest quarters in your driveway When family comes for the holidays and the house runs out of bedrooms, an Airstream in the driveway gives your guests their own space, with a real bed, a kitchen and a bathroom, a few steps from the front door. We tow the trailer to your home, level it, hook it up, walk your guests through it, and pick it up when the visit is over. You never touch a hitch. Every trailer comes stocked: bedding on the main bed, kitchen and bath towels, a kitchen with dishes, cookware, a coffee maker and a toaster, and cleaning basics. Sleeping bags are available for the other beds. Our fleet runs from 16 to 30 feet and sleeps four to eight, so a couple can have a cozy 19-footer and a visiting family can have a 25-foot or larger trailer with room for the kids. Our size guide covers every floor plan. An Airstream our team delivered to a Santa Rosa driveway. Events and group trips For events, we stage multiple matching trailers, deliver and set them up, and can provide on-site support for the duration. We run several trailers in the most popular sizes, so a family reunion or a group of friends can each have their own matching Airstream at the same campground or venue. Four of our Airstreams lined up under string lights at a vineyard for a group event. Event rentals are quoted for the job, based on the number of trailers, the location and the support you need. A group rental near La Honda, with several of our Airstreams set up side by side. Office, sales space or a long stay Extended reservations work for on-site offices and sales space too, and for guest quarters that need to stay longer than a holiday visit. Monthly stays start at $5,000, depending on the trailer, before taxes and fees, and rentals of seven nights or longer take 5 percent off the nightly rate automatically. More on longer rentals here. How delivery is priced Delivery is quoted per trip, based on mileage, time and location. There is no delivery radius: if the trailer can get there, we can bring it. Book early for the holidays.

Winter is a great time to rent an Airstream in California. Campgrounds are quieter, the coast is mild, and the desert parks are at their best. We rent year-round, including ski trips, and here is where our winter renters go and what to know before you head somewhere cold. The California coast at sunset, where most of our winter renters head. Do you rent Airstreams in the winter? Yes, all year. Most of our winter renters head for the coast to stay out of freezing temperatures. If you are going somewhere it freezes, we walk you through keeping the plumbing safe before you leave. Where to go: the coast The coast rarely freezes, which makes it the easiest winter trip in an Airstream. Our destination guides cover the campgrounds we know first-hand: Santa Cruz Monterey Bay KOA, one of our most popular delivery runs. Costanoa on the San Mateo coast. Big Sur Campground and Cabins, among the redwoods. Morro Strand State Beach, with Morro Rock out the window. Carpinteria State Beach and Jalama Beach in Santa Barbara County. Where to go: the desert The desert parks that are brutal in summer are comfortable in winter. Joshua Tree and Death Valley’s Furnace Creek are both long drives from Lathrop, so they suit a week-long rental, which takes 5 percent off the nightly rate. Desert nights still get cold, so the plumbing advice below applies there too. Where to go: the mountains Ski trips in an Airstream are welcome. Up near Lake Tahoe, Grover Hot Springs State Park in Markleeville is one of the few campgrounds open year-round; our Lake Tahoe guide has the details. Just plan for freezing nights. One of our Airstreams in Yosemite Valley after a snowfall. How to keep the plumbing from freezing The main concern in winter is cold weather on the trailer’s systems, especially plumbing. Water that freezes can stop flowing or damage the pipes, and wind speed and direction affect how well the plumbing holds up. Run the furnace. Most trailers can handle temperatures in the 20s if they are kept warm inside. The furnace pushes heat through the ducting into the walls and compartments where the plumbing runs. A space heater is not enough. A portable heater warms the living space, but it does not heat the walls and compartments, so it will not protect the pipes the same way. Follow our walkthrough. We go over cold-weather care at pickup. Call us before the trip if you would like advice on preparing. Since conditions vary, we cannot guarantee the plumbing will not freeze. Renters who go somewhere cold are responsible for following that guidance and preventing freezing, and could be liable for repairs if the plumbing freezes. Many people rent in winter without trouble by preparing properly. Skip the winter towing Not keen on towing on winter roads? We can deliver the trailer to your campsite, level it and hook it up, then collect it at the end. Here is how delivery works. Book your Airstream Browse our Airstream fleet and check your dates here.

A weekend in an Airstream is great. A week or more is when it starts to feel like the trip people imagine when they picture one. Here is what you need to know about longer rentals with GoSilver, from a seven-night road trip to a month-long stay. One of our Airstreams arriving at a campground near Cloverdale and Healdsburg. Can you rent an Airstream for a week? Yes, and it costs less per night. Rentals of seven nights or longer take 5 percent off the nightly rate automatically, with nothing to ask for at checkout. Nightly rates across our fleet run $179 to $390 depending on the trailer and the season, and the live rate for your dates is on our rentals page. Can you rent one for a month? Yes. Monthly stays start at $5,000 and go up depending on the trailer you choose, before taxes and fees. Renters use them for long trips, on-site offices and sales space, guest quarters at home, and off-grid stays. Where can you take it? Anywhere in the continental United States and Canada. Mexico is not permitted by our insurance. Alaska and northern Canada are permitted with a road fee of $0.10 per mile, because of road conditions and the extra wear and tear. From our lot in Lathrop, a week opens up trips that do not fit in a weekend: The Sierra and the national parks. Yosemite, then south to Kings Canyon or east over the mountains to Convict Lake. The coast. Work down from Costanoa and Big Sur to Morro Strand and Carpinteria. The desert Southwest. Joshua Tree, Death Valley and Zion and Antelope Canyon. Further out. Grand Teton and Jackson, Wyoming. Set up on the Sacramento River, a good spot to stay a while. What to plan for on a longer trip Pick a size you can live in. Two adults who are fine in a 19-footer for a weekend often want 23 to 25 feet for a week. Our size guide covers every floor plan. Mix hook-ups and dry camping. A few nights at a park with full hook-ups lets you refill water, empty tanks and charge up between stretches of dry camping. Book campsites early. The popular parks fill months ahead. These online resources help you find sites along the way. Help is still a call away. 24/7 roadside and technical support comes with every rental, wherever the trip takes you. One of our Airstreams set up for a longer stay, mat down and chairs out. Rather stay in one place? If the plan is a week at one campground, skip the towing entirely.

Most of our renters have never towed a trailer or stayed in an Airstream before, and that is fine. Here is exactly what happens, step by step, from the day you book to the day you hand back the keys at our Lathrop lot. Renters hitched up and heading out from our Lathrop lot. 1. Pick the trailer and your dates Choose a trailer on our rentals page and check that it is open for your dates. Our fleet runs from 16 to 30 feet and sleeps four to eight. If you are torn between sizes, our size guide walks through every floor plan, or call and ask for Jose. 2. Hold it with a deposit A deposit of 50% or $500 holds the trailer in your name and is applied to your rental. The balance is due 14 days before departure, and we accept all major credit cards. Every rental includes the Support and Protection package, priced at 25% of the base rental, which covers rental insurance through MBA Insurance plus 24/7 roadside assistance and technical support. If plans change, you get a full refund when you cancel within 24 hours of booking. After that, it depends on how far out you are: more than 60 days out you forfeit a $100 administrative fee, between 14 and 60 days out you forfeit the 50% deposit, and inside 14 days you forfeit the full reservation. A Free Cancellation waiver at checkout lets you cancel any time for a full refund. 3. Get your tow vehicle checked If you are towing with your own vehicle, stop by the lot one to two weeks before your trip and we will test your brake controller and 7-pin connector at no charge. No tow vehicle? You can rent one of our trucks or have us deliver the trailer. 4. Pack light Bring your clothes, your food and yourself. Every trailer goes out with a stocked kitchen (dishes, utensils, pots and pans, baking trays, a coffee maker, a toaster and a wine opener), bedding for the main bed, kitchen and bath towels, cleaning basics, and the RV essentials: wheel chocks, a fresh water hose and pressure regulator, a sewer hose, leveling blocks and a 30-to-20 amp adapter. Sleeping bags are available for the other beds, and camping chairs are free if you ask at pickup. You can stock the fridge before you even arrive; here is how renters order groceries ahead. 5. Pickup and the walkthrough Pickup is between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. We walk you through hitching, unhitching, setup and every system in the trailer before you leave, so you head out knowing how everything works. If you would like a refresher later, watch our hitching tutorial and backing-up tutorial. One of our Airstreams set up on a campsite near Monterey. 6. On the road If anything comes up, help is a phone call away, 24 hours a day. Most campgrounds need a reservation, so book your site early; here is how to book an RV site. If your campground has no hook-ups, read our post on dry camping in an Airstream before you go. Hitched and ready to roll in Oakdale. 7. The return Returns are between 1:00 PM and 2:45 PM. Park in our lot, drop the keys in the key drop, and you are done. If you add the Platinum Service Package at checkout, you hand the trailer back without cleaning it, filling propane or dumping the tanks. Need a pickup or return outside those windows? Tell us ahead of time and we will try to work it into our schedule. An additional charge may apply. Book your Airstream Browse our Airstream fleet and check your dates here.

Plenty of people want an Airstream trip and do not own anything that can pull one. That is not the end of the conversation. At GoSilver there are three ways to rent an Airstream, and only one of them needs your own tow vehicle. An Airstream we delivered and set up at a campsite, chairs out and ready for its renters. Option 1: We deliver it to your campsite Delivery is the most popular option for renters who do not own a tow vehicle, or who simply want the trip to start when they arrive. We tow the trailer to your campsite, your driveway, your venue or your event, level it, hook it up, walk you through it, and pick it up when you are done. There is no delivery radius. If you can camp there, we can bring the trailer to you, and we can deliver several trailers to the same place when a group needs them. Delivery is quoted per trip, based on mileage, time and location. The runs we make most are Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, the Sierra foothills, the coast from Santa Cruz to Big Sur, and Bay Area driveways for holiday guests. Delivery works especially well at campgrounds where the trailer stays put for the whole stay, like the Santa Cruz Monterey Bay KOA and Santa Cruz Redwoods RV Resort. Our team towing an Airstream in for a delivery near Santa Rosa. Option 2: Rent our truck with the trailer We keep two trucks for exactly this: a 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty and a 2023 Ford F-150, each at $160 a night, rented alongside a trailer. You get a tow vehicle that is already set up for our Airstreams, with no guesswork about ratings, brake controllers or connectors. Our 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty, available to rent alongside a trailer. Do you need a special license? No. A standard California driver’s license covers trailers up to 10,000 pounds, and every Airstream in our fleet is under that. Most of our renters have never towed before. At pickup we walk you through hitching, unhitching, setup and every system in the trailer, and if a question comes up on the road, help is a phone call away, 24 hours a day. Option 3: Check whether your own vehicle can tow You may own a capable tow vehicle without knowing it. Your vehicle needs to be rated for the trailer’s weight, with an electronic brake controller and a standard 7-pin round connector. The rule we use is to stay within 80% of the vehicle’s maximum towing capacity, so a vehicle rated for 10,000 pounds tows a trailer up to 8,000 pounds. Not sure? Stop by our Lathrop lot one to two weeks before your trip and we will test your brake controller and connector at no charge. If your vehicle has no brake controller, portable controllers are available to rent. The smaller trailers, like the 16-foot Sport and the 20-foot Base Camp, are the easiest match for an SUV. Our size guide lists every floor plan in the fleet. On the way to a delivery near Oakdale, past the orchards in bloom. Which option should you choose? Staying in one campground the whole trip: delivery. You drive your own car, and the trailer is level and hooked up when you arrive. Moving between campgrounds: rent our truck, or bring your own if it passes the check. A first trip and nervous about towing: delivery, then try towing next time once you have seen how the trailer works. Book your Airstream Browse our Airstream fleet and check your dates here. Every rental comes stocked and trip-ready, and if you would rather skip the towing, ask us about delivery and setup. Here is how the rental process works. Questions first? Call us at (209) 440-7520.

The most common question we get before a first booking is what size Airstream to rent. Our fleet runs from 16 to 30 feet and sleeps four to eight, and the right answer depends on three things: how many people are sleeping in it, how long you are staying, and what is pulling it. Here is how we size renters at our Lathrop lot, floor plan by floor plan. A 30-foot Airstream, the largest trailer in our fleet, delivered to a campsite. The short answer A couple is comfortable in a 16 to 23 foot trailer. A family of four wants 25 feet or more. A large family or a group that wants one trailer should look at the 30-foot Flying Cloud Bunk, which sleeps eight with a queen bed, a full bed and a bunk. If you are still not sure, call us. Sizing renters correctly is what our shop manager, Jose, is best known for, and at pickup he will show you the next size up so you can see the difference for yourself. Small trailers: 16 to 22 feet These are the easiest Airstreams to tow, park and back into a tight campsite, and they are where most first-time renters start. Sport, 16 feet, sleeps 4. Our smallest and least expensive trailer. Ideal for two people and a weekend. Caravel, 19 feet, sleeps 4. A full Airstream interior in a short length, good for couples who want a little more room than the Sport. Base Camp, 20 feet, sleeps 4. Airstream’s compact adventure trailer, pictured below. Flying Cloud, 20 feet, sleeps 4. The classic Airstream layout in its most compact version. Bambi, 22 feet, sleeps 4. The Bambi is Airstream’s best-known small trailer, with a little more living space than the 20-footers. On the 22-foot trailers and smaller, a one-night rental works, because they turn around faster between renters. The 20-foot Base Camp hitched up at our Lathrop lot and ready to go. Mid-size trailers: 23 to 25 feet This is the sweet spot for two adults on a longer trip, or a small family. Flying Cloud, 23 feet, sleeps 5. Room for a couple plus a child or two. Globetrotter, 23 feet, sleeps 4. A different interior style from the Flying Cloud at the same length. International and International Signature, 25 feet, sleeps 6. We run several of these, so two families traveling together can book matching trailers. Flying Cloud, 25 feet, sleeps 6. The family-trip workhorse of the fleet. Large trailers: 27 to 30 feet For families of four or more, longer stays, or anyone who wants real elbow room inside. Globetrotter, 27 feet, sleeps 6. International, 28 feet, sleeps 6. Pottery Barn edition, 28 feet, sleeps 6. The special edition designed with Pottery Barn interiors. Flying Cloud Bunk, 30 feet, sleeps 8. Our largest trailer, with a queen bed, a full bed and a bunk. Nightly rates across the fleet run $179 to $390 depending on the trailer and the season. The live rate for your dates is on our rentals page. What can your vehicle tow? Size is often decided by the tow vehicle, not the headcount. The rule we use is to stay within 80% of your vehicle’s maximum towing capacity, so a truck or SUV rated for 10,000 pounds tows a trailer up to 8,000 pounds. You will also need a brake controller and a 7-pin connector. Tow-vehicle requirements are listed on each trailer on our rentals page, and we will test your brake controller and connector at the lot for free one to two weeks before your trip. If your vehicle cannot tow the trailer you want, you have two options: rent one of our trucks alongside it, or have us deliver the trailer. Here is how renting without a truck works. Thinking about buying one? Rent the size you are considering first. A weekend in a 23-footer tells you more than an hour on a dealer lot, and Airstream dealers send shoppers to us for exactly that reason.

Order groceries with Instacart and we’ll stock your Airstream rental! We are happy to present a new amenity for our guests at GoSilver: grocery delivery!  There’s nothing worse than getting all hitched up and ready to go, but then to have to stop off at a grocery store to stock up your Airstream for your vacation.  Or you have to bring all your groceries with you (and not to mention all your cooler bags which you then have to store in the Airstream).  By offering this grocery delivery to our guests, you guys can show up to a fully stocked Airstream! If you haven’t heard of Instacart before, it’s a grocery delivery service that hires personal shoppers to do your grocery shopping for you.  They partner with stores like WholeFoods and Safeway (see the above picture for all the stores available for delivery within our zip code, 95131).  There is a delivery charge of $9.99-$11.99 depending on the time window that you want it delivered.   If you want to have your groceries delivered and stocked into your Airstream we ask our customers to follow these guidelines to make it easier for us and to prevent any miscommunications: Schedule the delivery for the day of your departure, anytime after 11AM. Please send us the delivery information as soon as you order so we can set aside time in our schedule to stock the groceries. Make sure to give the business name and our phone number as the alternative phone number just in case the delivery person has trouble finding us.  You can also add the description that our business is “located in the Club Auto Sport complex, in the far corner of the back parking lot.” Please remember that the freezer section of the Airstreams (especially the smaller ones) are quite small so buy accordingly. And please remember to tip your personal shopper (they have a section for that on the Instacart site). We of course will stock items as soon as they are delivered but we are not responsible for the state of the groceries as they are delivered (for example if something had thawed out).  But in general we have had only pleasant experiences with Instacart, their personal shoppers, and the items they delivered.  We hope this amenity adds convenience to our customers lives and there’s one less thing to worry about before starting your Airstream trip!

Online Resources To Help You Find Your Next Campground or RV Park Sometimes you’re at a campsite or RV park just to have a place to eat and sleep enroute to other destinations on your trip.  But other times the campsite is the destination and not just part of the journey.  In those times, you want to book the best spots at the best campsites/RV parks.  To us, that means a clean RV park that’s generally quiet or in a convenient location (and that’s not shady, in the criminal sense).   And once we choose the best RV park, sometimes we want to choose the best RV space (especially if we’re staying longer than a couple days) and to us that means a spot that’s secluded with great views if they’re available.  To help us make these decisions, we use the following resources when planning our RV or camping trips: AllStays Camp & RV app:  This is the single most useful app that we have tried for our own extended RV trips.  Yes it’s a $10 investment but this app is available for family sharing and trust us, it’s worth it.  This app will show you every single independently owned RV resort, state park campsite, national park campsite, national forest campsite, and just general areas to park an RV.  The best thing about this is app is that it doesn’t need cellular reception to work (which is especially useful when picking a last minute RV park while on the road).  But if you do have reception, the app can take you directly to Google images of the RV park/campsite as well as to its website and/or booking site.  Though they have a couple reviews up on the app, there’s not a whole lot so if you have service, cross-reference your chosen RV park/campsite with one of the sites listed below. RV Park Reviews: This site probably has the most user generated reviews on RV Parks and campgrounds than any other site though there’s not much in the way of pictures.  You can filter parks with their search filters but sometimes their search can be a little glitchy (just make sure when entering the location you’re interested in the search bar to include the state, otherwise it will say nothing found).  But for the most part, the reviews are detailed and provide some great tidbits of advice. Good Sam Club:  This site is like the Michelin guide of RV parks and resorts (but not campsites).  They have a 1-10 rating system (with 10 being the best) for the categories Facility, Restroom (cleanliness), and Appeal.  I’m not sure who decides the scores, but for the most part they are reliable ( 10/10/10 RV resorts are usually really awesome, though more expensive).  They also have reviews from other Good Sam members, which really helps to paint a better picture of the RV park.  (Also a note about Good Sam, by joining their Club you can get a 10% off discount at any Good Sam RV Park and there’s a lot of them.  So if you’re going to be going to a lot of RV parks during the year, it’s worth getting the membership.  But otherwise the reviews on their website are great resources and their search function on the site is pretty easy to use). Campendium: This is a relatively new website that is trying to become the Yelp of campgrounds and RV sites.  All reviews and most of the photos are user generated.  The site was create by the couple behind Aluminarium (one of my favorite Airstream blogs on the web).  One of the best features of the reviews is the cell coverage info for each review (this is super important when you like to work on the road like we do), but each review comes with a ton of valuable information.  They also have reviews of free campsites for dry-camping (i.e. no hook-ups), which is a great tool for those just need the best parking lot to those who want to camp in nature away from the crowds.  There aren’t a lot of reviews out there yet for each campsite/RV park, but just like any community, it takes some time to grow. Trip Advisor: Surprisingly TripAdvisor can be a great resource for some of the bigger and more popular RV sites and campsites.  The great thing about TripAdvisor is they usually have some pictures of the campsite and sometimes tips on which sites in the RV park or campground are the best. Yelp: Yelp is still Yelp when it comes to RV parks, and like TripAdvisor, there are a lot of good reviews and photos for the bigger and more popular RV parks and campsites. And last but not least, one of the best way to find a good campsite is to talk to a local (if you’re trying to find some last minute RV campsites).  Of course not all locals will be the camper types and know where to go, but we’ve lucked out and found some great places just by striking up conversations.  At the very least it’s sometimes worth a try.   And finally if you’re planning ahead, once you find the park that you want to stay at, just call the RV park or campsite and you can ask them which sites are the best (most secluded or with the best view).  Most of the time, the RV parks are more than happy to tell you their recommendations.

How to use your Airstream without any hook-ups (aka Dry-Camping) What does it mean to dry-camp? For those who really want to use their rented Airstream to it’s fullest potential and for those with a love of camping out in private, less-populated areas then dry-camping is for you.  Dry-camping is when you park your Airstream in a place with no hook-ups (but usually a designated campsite).  Thus, unlike at a posh RV park, you do not have electricity, water, or sewer connection available onsite.  And what that means for you is that you will have to monitor both your electricity and water consumption, and forgo hours of TV watching and long hot showers.  But in exchange for those sacrifices, you’re rewarded with a usually quiet and isolated spot and nature right at your Airstream door-step.   Also another term related to dry-camping is called dispersed camping, but dispersed camping pertains to parking in sites that are not designated campsites and can only be done on public land that allows for it.  The term boondocking can pertain to both dry-camping (at a designated campsite) and dispersed camping (not designated campsites). Dry Camping Tips Dry-camping challenges can be categorized by  the different resources that have to be managed during your trip: power, water, and tank space. Power When you are not connected to 120V shore power at an RV park or campground with hook-ups, power is being provided by the two 12V house batteries onboard the Airstream. These batteries will charge up during the day by the solar panels on the roof if the Airstream is parked in a sunny area. The solar panels on the 19’ and 20’ models are smaller and will take 2 full days of solar charging to get back to a full charge.   The biggest user of power when using the trailer is the furnace. Even though the heat is created by burning propane, the furnace has a blower that spreads the warm air and uses up power whenever it is running. The other items that use up power when dry camping are the lights, the water pump, the flat panels, DVD player, refrigerator, fans, and running the inverter. The trailer has an inverter that converts the battery 12V power to 120V power that allows you to run any electrical item up to 1,000 Watts. Unfortunately, this leaves the coffee maker, hair dryer and air conditioner off limits when dry camping unless you have rented our optional generators. If the onboard batteries have completely drained, connect the 7-way plug from the trailer to the 7way connector on your tow vehicle (as you would do when hitching up your Airstream).  Keep them connected for a few minutes and this will provide enough juice from the vehicle’s 12v battery to begin allowing the solar panels to charge the batteries.   However if you plan to dry-camp for multiple days (and especially don’t know if you will be having sunny weather), we recommend renting one of our Honda Generators that operate on gasoline. The primary uses for the generator are recharging batteries and running high wattage appliances.  Running the generator for few hours during the day will bring the batteries back to a reasonable charge and allow you to have an enjoyable evening with heat, refrigeration and lights. If you plan to run the air conditioning with a 2000W generator, make sure that no other electrical devices are plugged in and turn off the the electric water heater. A 3000W generator will allow you to run the A/C while providing power to few devices.   Propane – The trailers have two 30lb tanks that are good for many weeks of camping. We make sure each trailer leaves our facility with full tanks and the propane is included in your rental fee. The hot water, refrigerator, stove and oven all work off of propane. Water This resource may be the most challenging one to stretch over multiple days. Our 25’ and 27’ models have 39 gallons of water and the 19’ and 20’ models have 23 gallons. We have 6-gallon water jugs available which can provide water to refill the tank and provide that extra shower or extra day of camping. Some campgrounds have water available on the premises but not at each campsite, so the jugs can be handy to shuttle water from the water spigot to refill the water tank. For campgrounds with no water you can bring water with you or take the jug and fill up in town when you are visiting the local sites.   Fresh Water Supply Grey Water Tank Black Water Tank 19’ International 23 gallons 21 gallons 18 gallons 20’ Flying Cloud 25’ Flying Cloud 39 gallons 35 gallons 39 gallons 25’ International 37 gallons 27’ International 39 gallons Holding Tank Space Typically, the gray water tank (water from shower and faucets) will fill up first.  Take short showers, and use the start/stop switch on the shower head to rinse, soap, and rinse.  Although it’s not as nice as a long hot shower when you are at a park with hookups, it will keep you fresh and use about 4 gallons of water. The outdoor shower is another alternative for quick rinses. Cleaning dishes can also use up the gray holding tank so using paper plates and cups can help save water.   The black water tank (sewage) is good for several days up to a week depending on the size of your Airstream. Each flush equals about a ½ gallon so you can estimate how many days you can go without dumping the tanks by guessing how many times a day you flush. As with water, many dry camping sites may not have a sewer connection at the site but provide a dump station where you can dump on your way out (this is recommended only for those who are going on multi-day dry-camping trips, otherwise we flush and sanitize all tanks as part of our service).

Welcome to the family, the 23-foot Flying Cloud We are very excited to announce the addition of a new Airstream to our fleet: the 23-foot corner bed Flying Cloud!  For families and couples looking for a bit more extra space compared to the 20′ Flying Cloud, but don’t have the capacity to tow the 25′ Airstreams, this is the one for you!   This 23′ Airstream comes with all of the usual suspects including full bathroom with shower, kitchen, fridge with freezer box, stove, propane oven, bed, convertible dinette, TV, Blu-ray player, air conditioner and furnace.  But it also has additional features like a microwave, ample storage (2 wardrobes!), and a bike rack mounted to the back of the Airstream.   At 6000 pounds fully loaded, this 23-foot Airstream can be towed by cars like the Audi Q7, BMW X5, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Range Rover, Lexus GX, Mercedes ML250, Toyota Sequoia, and Volkswagen Touareg.  Also it is the smallest Airstream with 2 axles, which helps stabilize the trailer when towing.   We highly recommend this Airstream for families of 4 to 5 because of the ample sleeping quarters.  Not only does it have a bed (slightly narrower than a standard full sized bed) and the convertible dinette, but it also has a pull out lounge bed that can accommodate an adult taller than 6 feet.  For families of 4 or more, the kids could take the corner bed, which then can be screened off for privacy while the adults can have full utilization of the kitchen and dinette area late into the night (as well as easy access to the door to come and go).  This is also great if the kids sleep-in in the morning, allowing the adults to get a head start with breakfast.  (As a note this is a sleeping arrangement we recommend for those who take the 25′ Flying Cloud as well.)   So if this sounds like the Airstream for you, or you want to learn more, find more details and available dates here.
