(energetic music)
Denise: Hey there, it's Kory and Denise from Does Size Matter,
and we are at the Country Village Campground in Leicester, Vermont
and this is an Airstream Rally, how cool is that?!
So, at this Airstream Rally Pete's RV Center from Burlington, Vermont
has brought their new 19's and 20's to show to all of the people at the Rally, and to US!
So I'm Super-Excited about that, because we are going to show you some new Airstreams,
and then I'm hoping we're gonna get to show you some old ones
So, our housekeeping issues that we want to share with you:
Is remember this is all based on Kory and my's research, the information we gather from all different sources that we put together to share with you
But it is our opinion, so you know, take that for what it's worth to you. And it's based on how Corey and I use an RV
Next, I want to point out that at the end of the video there will be some Links that you can click on
that will take you to the "nuts and bolts" construction of an Airstream, or some other Models,
or some adventures we go on, or all sorts of things! So, stick with us and let's get started checking out this one!
Today we're going to show you the 2020 Airstream Bambi 19CB
This is a really cool, SMALL Airstream and we'll point out the differences between that and some of the bigger models
But it's an Airstream, it's still COOL!
You get the Solar Protection on the Front Windows
You get the totally cool Airstream Wrap-Around Windows
So this is where the Propane Tanks are, and we're thinking there's 2 - 30 pounds in here, but we will clarify that for you
The batteries are back here, and this is your "old fashioned" crank for the Hitch so, a little bit different but, you know...
Let's take a look around the rest here, what do we got, I mean, besides "coolness"?!
It's a SMALL Trailer, but this is where you'll fill your Freshwater Tank
You get an Outdoor Shower, so that's cool too. Especially with smaller things, I like outdoor showers
City Water Hookup, Black Water Flush,
30 Amp Connection
This is for your Cable TV
If we go way down here I just want to point out as well that
the information about the Torsion Axles, you'll find in the Construction Video
And I think that's important, and I really do want you to go take a look at that, so that you can understand how that system works,
and how it really makes an Airstream an efficient Trailer
So, down here is where your Sewer's going to hook up. Your Gray, your Black Flush
These are up into the Underbelly where they can be heated
There's also a light here from when you're doing this in the dark, which is nice
I would prefer that these valves be up inside too
Just to keep them dry and free of debris, because they can get a little tough sometimes or even freeze, right?
So, that's all good
And then, if we move around to the back, what do we get?
Ah, this one has a backup Camera
I'm noticing that this particular Bambi does not have the awnings down over the windows
But, I know it's a package that you can get, so look into that...
A. They look cool B. They help with shading, heat control, that kind of thing
You also get a Light back here, and some Storage. Let's take a look in there
Oh wow, that's quite a bit of Storage, and it gives you some access to the plumbing, so that's handy
Kory: That light might be for your license plate?
D: Do you want your license plate lit? (laughs)
K: Good question!
D: Just a thought!
Come around this side
So, you do get an Awning, and this one is a Manual Awning
I'm hoping there's some kind of pole, or something that you can pull this down with
But, you would hook it up there, and then pull it out by hand
That's a thing about Airstream, is that they're not necessarily going with all the high-tech gadgetry on every model
It is available, on some of the other models, it's your choice - I'm sure they'll put anything you want on there
Actually I've heard you could even custom do it in Airstream
So then we move down to the Door
The latch on the Airstream door is actually, you know it's not a magnet or a friction door
It just pushes in like that and then get it there
You also get your Screen Door so that's a good, handy thing. You've got your Cover over that
I do like them, okay
And then you also get a Steel One Step. One step is all you really need to get into these
And it does have a Light beside it here as well
And I know you can't quite see it, but behind the Door is an Electrical Outlet
So now, let's go inside and check it out,
because I know this is what you've all been waiting for...Come on!
This is cute, huh?
I really like it. The decor in here is very light, plus you've got, you know, all the aluminum reflection
A bit of a Shelf, got your Hooks
I don't need a Message Board, but obviously Airstream thinks you do!
Electrical Hook-Up
Well, that's good storage
So there's a Door, and there's Open stuff
And then, over here you can have...you can use the space for whatever you want
You could put your shoes there, whatever, but you could put a trash can as well
And, there's also nice, good, deep storage underneath this Dinette
First of all, I really like this.
This seems like a bit of a different fabric to me, than we talked about in the construction video
It's a little more "fabricy" than the ultra-leather, or the other stuff. I love the colour
And of course you get these, right, sitting here in these beautiful rounded windows
which do have the slider blackout blinds on them
that aren't my favorite...just because that's just not my favourite!
These are the traditional style of airstream doors on the cabinets, right?
Like I remember seeing them in the old vintage ones!
So, limited storage in here because this is here, but there's also a USB port along with that
And lighting...and then there's another one over here
Let's see what's in there. OK, so that's just all storage right
And light there, switches are over by the door
So this is going to make down into a bed
and I'm really happy to see that Airstream has gone to this style of table to put down
But this would be a decent bed, these cushions are super-comfortable,
and I've actually heard owners talking about how much they like these cushions
There's electric underneath
Table is laminate, and it does have this little round trim piece which looks nice
but I do always worry when there's a separation on the corner, just a thought.
Now we're moving over to the Kitchen space,
and they really do utilize every little piece too, for storage, right
Also you've got your ducting for your heat down there
You get a one-piece stainless sink
with, these are skookum taps, like, I haven't seen a whole lot of those!
What we have here? (grunts)
OK, again plumbing always gets in the way, but you got to have it, right?
so there is storage there, but the plumbing is
So let's see, so these are just a standard blind
I think they do they do have a little thing here that you can attach them into to hold them closer,
so they're not banging around, because that is an issue when you have a curved wall, right?
And let's try out this window, so it's a turner, let me see here
So, these are not the frameless windows, but they do open in the same direction
Oh, I can't open that one for you because of the cover that's on the front
but I do believe those covers on the front move away from the trailer,
and then the window opens out like that
So let's move over here, or UP here, let's see
So we've got more of this storage
surprisingly this is quite high, for me,
like I can I can put stuff in there but I can't really see in there very well
Kory: It's shocking that you find that high!
Denise: (laughs) I know, right! Even in a Bambi
What do we got for a Stove? You get a two-burner propane stove by Dometic
You get a standard Microwave Oven, not a Convection
We get some, oh it's a drawer, I thought it was gonna be a door
So you do get that, there's place to put your utensils, all that kind of stuff
And down here is your Battery shut-off
And then moving over here, we get...
Oh check that out everybody!
There you go! That's great I love that
Now remember, no MDF in these Trailers, this will be the Italian Lite Ply
Let's check out our Fridge
Oh, so that's a different locking mechanism there
So, I believe this is going to be a 3 cubic foot fridge, with a little icebox in it
But I will clarify that for you
And I'm moving down here, oh my goodness, that's wonderful!
gotta love the storage!
You get this corner bed,
so you do get a Made-Up bed in this small Trailer which, I really like
These are the Pillowtop Mattresses, but this is going to be specific to this trailer
Airstream fits all of their mattresses to match each Trailer,
so it could be a bit of a challenge to get sheets for, just saying
Now, it's not a huge bed, but it would be perfectly fine for the two of us,
we would be happy as clams in this bed, with all these windows around!
You do have a TV here, you have plugins, you have USB, you've got a little shelf
What I don't have, and everybody's probably heard me carry on about before,
is I don't have a Nightstand or a place to put my water, or phone, or that kind of stuff
But, I could put it over by the sink
Other thing is, you do get this storage up here
so that's that's pretty big
And then, I just want to see if I can lift this bed up,
or whether there's anything underneath it
OK I can't lift it up
But there is...can you see in there?
And they come with bins and stuff, so that it goes in...
Kory: Oh, it goes way under there
Denise: yeah, right?
so that's good
And these are nice, rounded corners
Can I get you to show everybody this Kory?
That's the the Lite Ply that used, the Italian Lite Ply
And then you get a little curtain here that would close off the space if you didn't want to make the bed
Let's check out the Corner Bath,
because what I find interesting about it is this door
and the way it bends allows you to walk up and down the side of the bed
But when you want to go into the bathroom it comes out
and then gives you more space inside the bathroom!
Kory: Is it good when you close it?
Denise: Yeah, close it here. There so I can still stand in this whole bathroom
You get the great Airstream...this is a two-piece shower...but it's very spacious
and what I love is, even though it's a two-piece, it's all caulked
Other places we've been to that have two-piece showers don't necessarily caulk them
This is Fiberglass, it's got great Taps and Shower head, so I like that
I just want to take a look at the shower door though
OK, so this seems to be a Standard in these smaller Trailers, for the shower door
It's not my favorite type just because I always worry about this breaking,
or I worry about when it rolls back into that, it not being dry, and when something is put away wet, we all know what happens
So, I have not heard any actual problems or complaints with this system
so it's a newer system and until I guess it gets used for a while it will either prove itself to be a-okay, or there will be problems that then they'll fix
Toilet. And this is a plastic Toilet with a Foot-Flush, and it is up on this base
so I gotta sit on it
Because sometimes when they put them up on these bases they can be kind of high
Um, it is a bit high, right!
(both laugh)
I don't like that, but..um..yeah. It is what it is
The Sink is outside,
and there was a time when I thought a Sink being on the outside of the bathroom was just bad
I don't think that anymore! And the reason for that is that Kory and I spent some time in a small space together (laughs)
In the Nest when we rented that for a couple of weeks.
And it's really nice that there's two Sinks, even in a small Trailer
One of them for dishes, one of them for washing hands, and brushing teeth, and it's not in the actual shower/toilet space
So it allows more flexibility in use for more than one person, so this is good
I don't like that the counter space around it isn't quite as wide as I'd like,
but you do have space back there
Switches, Water Heater, Electric
The Mirror is wonderful
There's some Vanity Storage space back there,
and then down here is more Storage space
which is pretty good for Under-Sink Storage space, so I like that!
And then, when you're coming out,
you get this pretty decent-sized closet with a shelf, and a light, and a rod.
It's pretty good
And remember you also got all that Under-the-Bed Storage,
and all of this Above Storage
So, I'm just gonna shut my door here again to give me as much space as possible in this Trailer
It's great right? Very functional
So let's take a look at the numbers, and talk about weight, and tank size, and stuff like that
Numbers on the 2020 Bambi 19CB
Let's see, the brochure tells me that the Exterior Length is 18 foot 11 inches
the Exterior Width is 8 feet, Interior Width 7 foot 7 inches
Exterior Height, with the AC, 9 foot 3 inches
Interior Height is 6 foot 4 inches
OK, the Hitch Weight with the Propane and Batteries is 525 pounds
The Unit Weight with the Battery and the Propane is 3650 pounds,
so the GVW 5000 pounds
the Cargo Carrying Capacity 1350 pounds
The Freshwater Tank is 27 gallons, the Graywater tank 28 gallons, and the Black tank is 18 gallons
And I like that they're not a combo, which if you go smaller, it is
It has that 30 Amp Single Service AC, with a Heat Strip in it
now Heat Strip is different than a Heat Pump, but it comes out at 13,500 BTUs
it has a Ducted Furnace at 16,000 BTUs
Oh, the Fridge is bigger than I thought! it's a 4.3 cubic foot
The MSRP on the Bambi is $53,234 but here at this particular Rally RV show, from Pete's RV Center, they're going to let this go for $43,981
I hope you liked it too!
