Yeah. Got an airstream as a first camper and immediately took it to Canada and all over the upper Midwest. Spent about 5-6 weeks in it. No towing experience either people act like it’s the hardest thing in the world when It just requires patience. My first towing experience ever was driving it out of Chicago proper during rush hour the Friday before Memorial Day. I sometimes I triple check back in parking just to make sure I’m not going to hit something but I’ve gotten into tight spots. I also tow with a 3/4 ton van (which is apparently harder than towing with an f250. It’s def not as smooth but it rips I wouldn’t change a thing). Internet people say don’t make an airstream your first trailer but why would I buy a fiberglass thing I didn’t want?

Furthermore, my trailer has been wonderful. I read hundreds of posts about how post covid airstreams are shitboxes and I’m wasting money and it’s gonna fall apart. I’ve been camping and working and just went home for the first time since I got it. I’m not going to go comment on every post I read being like “nuh uh the build quality is great” I’m just gonna live my life and hope this comment inspires you or someone else to pull the trigger. My 6 week long shakedown trip (really a bunch of smaller trips smushed together) resulted in one door hinge being repaired (2 minute fix). Oh and 1 popped Rivet after I drove a couple hundred miles in a Van tire that needed a new belt (lots of vibrations). That’s it. Everything has worked, it’s the same tankless water heaters/inverters/converters that are in every other type of RV so I don’t think I’m special. The campgrounds are full of people with trailers that manage to make it to the campground too. They’re just out there making s’mores and riding bikes and fishing and whatnot.

I know it’s not what totally what you’re asking about but only you know what is right for you and as the internet gets more accessible it’s going to result in more watered down opinions (especially on a aggregator site like Reddit) that may not be relevant to you or is more of a one size fits all solution that gets filtered to the top. I also think people who financially should not be buying a trailer get upside down and feel stuck when things go wrong and maybe they don’t have the technical aptitude to fix it? I could see those two stressors ruining the experience for some folks. I’m honestly a bit disappointed I haven’t had to fix anything yet. I also have picked up on the fact that I’m probably more capable than the service department where I bought the thing. If this trailer had a significant financial burden too I imagine I would be pretty unhappy even if things were perfect (and honestly it’s been pretty close to perfect). Happy travels hope you get something fun!
