Приєднався 4 кві 2019
Do you dream of leaving it all behind and traveling full-time with your family? If so, you're in the right place.
We're Lauren, Daniel, and Baby Dash. We're an American full-time travel family exploring the world one incredible place at a time. We're entrepreneurs, runners, foodies, and adventurers at heart.
When we're Stateside, we live #rvlife in an Airstream. But, when we're abroad our home is wherever we find ourselves.
We've been a full-time travel family since January 2019 but didn't start our channel until we got the Airstream. We figured we should probably document how insane we were for moving into an RV with ZERO prior experience.
Why Wanderlocal? As small business owners, we've always been passionate about shopping local. As we travel, we're featuring our favorite locally-owned businesses that we find along the way.
We hope by sharing our adventures, you'll be inspired to get out there and wanderlocal too. Trust us, it's good for the soul. ❤️

Thank you! FINALLY a dirt honest review of the AI . And believe me your problems are relatable to many pre 2020 builds too. I bought mine new in 2018 and it spent part of every other month of the first year in the service department. The problem is there are very few people who have EXTENSIVE training & experience with the electrical systems . It’s been reliable since that first year -now owned mine for 6 + years -but am considering scaling down to a lower maintenance trailer . I can roll my own shades up and I’ll take a typical AM/FM radio system please:) I hope you use the lemon law. RV industry customer service will not change until we stop letting them off the hook.
Who would want to buy an RV after all the videos showing how poorly built they are!
No more Airstream?
I would love to meet Jessica and Jamie and of course the dogs
👍🇭🇲
Did you see the Marfa lights?
Boring. Ffs more talk on the topic less baby rubbish.
I would have gave it back month two of being in the shop
Loved this video and for you to show later how it is still working. May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
You guys do a great job. You need to set up a blog if you haven’t already
This was so sweet to watch. You two are so delightful. I too live in Texas and went trhthe power outtage but i was prepared and did ok. Im not a camper but hoping to in the next year or so. You two are very inspiring❤
Dash is so cute!
😂😂😂😂 I promise you I have watched this video three times as I'm prepping to travel with my travel trailer the first time. And every time she says rainbow bridge and I think of how hard that was on Mario kart lol lol😂😂😂😂😂
Are y’all going to find out what the new little bambino is ? I can’t wait to meet healthy , sweet new one . When are y’all due ? Dash is just so grown up now ….and so handsome
Even at the one year mark, after tons of negative experiences with this van, you remain almost neutral. You are better people than I am. Airstream should have bought the van back from you. We, too, love our Airstream Classic. We highly recommend the pre-pandemic models.
Bro you need to blink more.
You might want to consider a 5th wheel with a mid bunk room. Some have a sofabed w/ a bunk above. You could remove the sofabed & put your crib in there and put a railing or guard so Dash doesn't fall out.
I would rather have a Cedar Creek than a Grand Design. Cedar Creek has been around a long time and has a good reputation or it did when we purchased our cedar Creek silverback in 2012.
Great rigs
@Wanderlocal I am still a subscriber. This was indeed what I was hoping for. My only reaction is that I'm surprised that, given the level of positive coverage that you provided for them (if for no other reason), that they'd do more for you than simply keep the van for long periods of time fixing warranty issues. I guess my question that remains unanswered is... "Would you ever buy another Airstream if your family wasn't outgrowing it?" I think that I'd be reticent. Pasted from the Community Thread section.
At this point, I don’t think we would. Our faith in the brand is tarnished. We love the idea of van life - even if we’re a family of four - and are still going to take trips in it while we have it, but we don’t feel confident it would serve us on our boondocking journeys. The Classic, on the other hand, works well when boondocking. No lithium at all, we just brought along a couple of generators and we were set. The goal of the van was to not have to go to campgrounds and not use generators. Massive battery bank, but if it’s only going to last a day or two “techs words not ours”, then we feel we were oversold. I mean , it was completely losing its charged while parked for a few days. It’s possible it’s fixed now. We shall see. We know of others with this same coach, but they make sure to drive every single day to recharge the batteries. I mean, what if you just wanted to park for a few days?! So crazy. :)
@@Wanderlocal Me again. I know that this video is moving into history, but I wanted to reply one more time. As I mentioned, I have a class C and it has solar. I have 4 100 Watt panels with 4 100 AH batteries under my bed. That was the maximum that could be put on the roof and under the bed. I use the Class C to drive back and forth between FL (Tampa) and KS. My wife has lived there for 4 years taking care of her 92 year old mother. We have a rental house business in Tampa. I have to tend to. Anyway, the solar system that I have is good for about 5 hours of AC. I can do longer periods of time (2-3 days) with just fans. I have space heaters that I can run, but they drain the batteries a little slower than the AC, but not much. The Class C does also have a propane furnace. My Class C does have a generator so if I get into a boondocking situation on my trip, which happens occasionally, I can run the generator if the solar is not sufficient. My class C roof is a little larger than your van so a little more solar, but the battery bank is probably equivalent to your van. The size of my battery bank is the limiting factor in my system as I spend a lot of any day that I don't have to maintain temperature (AC or Heater) throwing away solar power because my batteries will fill up earlier than the end of the day. Your panels and battery are probably better balanced, but your lack of power for boondocking is probably due to the batteries being too small. I can tell you've been looking at 5th wheels and with your growing family, you need more space. That also means you'll have more roof space. And more possibility for solar panels. I think I've suggested this before, but , if I were you, I'd look into a large 5th wheel with a Heavy Duty Truck (HDT). Check out Big Truck Big Travels or Suite Travels on UA-cam. They routiinely boondock for many days in a row because they each of something close to 10 solar panels on the large roof of their 5th wheels. Big Truck Big Travels really does more boondocking discussion, but Suite Travels has a toy hauler 5th wheel with a side-b-side Can Am. Perhaps that would scratch your itch for getting away to the middle of nowhere.? The couple on Big Truck Big Travels also have a Super C that they've traveled in and that could be an option for you guys. Anyway. My two cents. Dale Engle Tampa, FL / Emporia, KS
Luxe, just saying
Many congratulations ❤❤❤
The Dash man is getting so big! And talking a mile a minute😃. Looking awesome Lauren!😊
Yeap … the fifth wheels are so cool for families on the go living on the road full time
There's a guy on you tube that did a 5 episode series on how the Rivercrest is built. Their 5th wheel frame is impressive
That cedar creek is not a fifth wheel. That is called a destination trailer. I was really bummed when I found that out years ago. It’s a pull behind and it’s too long and tall to take down the road
Ah, we didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing. We had no idea!!!
Thanks for sharing the video. I feel your pain. Just got my 2024 Interstate 19 E1 out of the shop after seven months. I’m not an expert, but they replaced inverter, busters, etc. It seems to work now, but everyone of these will have to get the refit that we both got. I wouldn’t buy one until these issues are corrected and hope you are problem free now.
I meant busbar.
The Cedar Creek Cottage model that you viewed isnt a 5th wheel, it is a trailer and it is a Park Model, meant to be stationary and not moved often.
🤯 how did we miss this?!? Maybe chasing the toddler around the show? That’s so sad though bc this rig is so cool!
👀
for that money you can buy a quality class A diesel pusher with storage, slides and a real toliet!! BTW, she is a terrible, phony salesperson
I was sure this would end with “and Airstream bought it back” I’m so sorry! This is a mess!
Congratulations on the baby 5 wheel 2 bedroom tow a car
A fifth wheel would fit your family as opposed to the van ,
Omg the way Dash says bye-bye js just so dam cute. He has grown up so fast. ❤❤
😄👍🌹
Congrats on another addition to your family- Michelle
With number 2 on the way are you still planning to rv?
Great family! And, i wish your next rv treats you much, much better than the van! Dash is the best☺️
For me, a class B Coachman. They also have 5th wheels. They seem constructed well.
Dash could not be any cuter! I think he would love the 5th wheel with the 2 beds to share with a sibling!! I love the space 5th wheels can give you with little people! A dishwasher for Momma would be a sweet bonus! 😊
Love how Dash has to find every little puddle to walk through. Typical boy.
I’m glad you are having another baby.
Do you know what the sex is yet 😊😁☺️🤔🤔
Class A for me
@Airstream
A 6 window bus . But u guys need a 5th wheel
@Tammycruz8189, a 6-window bus would be so fun!! And small enough to make it really flexible for travel too. ❤ As for the 5th wheel, you're probably not wrong. 🤣
What would be your perfect RV?
5th wheel
5th wheel
Motorhome. Pull your pickup behind. I’m a woman 74 and pulled a canary behind a 30 ft motorhome. Loved it, no problems Pulled it all over the country.
Oops, a camary
We have a 2019 solitude 375 res fifth wheel and absolutely love it.
Wow! That has been too scary for us, watching your sweet family going through all of that. 🍀🌻🍀
Also having an awning issue might sound trivial but the alarm goes off while driving if you hit a bump and even if you don’t. Then someone has to unbuckle get out of their seat to override which is very unsafe and this will happen after each stop. Very unsafe. And this has been since we left the lot at purchase. They were closing. We thought we must be doing something wrong. But nope. That’s the quality of the airstream. And the multiple fixes. I asked for a new asking nope. They will keep fixing. We were charged over 1k for the prep of the van at purchase. When I questioned, they explained they make sure everting is working etc. They obviously did NOT. So if you ever are crazy enough to buy an Airstream make sure you test drive before you sign. Who would have thought it would alarm out and they must have known. Sorry but have yo vent Airstream is not listening or giving. Poor poor quality.
I bought my Interstate Airstream in 7/2023 from Airstream Tampa. nothing but trouble. A real lemon 🍋. #1 Awning detachment non stop. 6 month fix… because they forgot about me while I was waiting patiently and believing they would get back to me. Still issue going next week again for fix. #2 inverter crashes at 5 k miles. Hardly ever used. After the ‘fix’ won’t work during the day and won’t work if you turn the stove on etc. And this is after the ‘fix’. Not! #3 draws keep popping out while driving. #4 ac is now acting up. Only 7k miles. Two trips. #5. Planned to purchase the 2023, long story short it was a 2024 when asked what was different? They lied and said nothing changed. The changes were the awning that had never worked and this version only seats 5 not seven as they advertise. And who knows what…The contract said 2023 but it was a 2024 which they reluctantly fixed. Airstream Tampa has failed me. If anyone has experience in Lemon Law please let me know. I had high hopes and this was a 20 year disappointing dream and a retirement gift to myself. Very sad, disappointed, wished I never bought.
OMG how you both can laugh when you still have a lemon. I can’t believe with you having this channel that airstream has not replaced the lemon.
I can see where this is going….they know they made a mistake after the first week and apply blame on the van is their out….
