1999 Airstream reviews

We have been the proud owners of the 1999 Bambi for over 21 years. She has held up wonderfully over the years and we still get complements. I must say back in 1999 everything with the exception of the Dometic refrigerator (made in Sweden) was made in USA. I mention this only because to date we have only replaced the water pump (8years ago), new brakes (2016) Dexter axel (2022) and LP tanks (2020) still running strong is the “original” A/C, stove/over, frig., water heater. We have two friends and our grown son that own late model Airstreams and most if not all appliances and fixtures are made in China and many of them have failed and been replaced. We have made a few updates because she was looking dated in a bad way. We upgraded to 16” rims and Michelin tires, stripped clear coat and polished. Only buff once a year with Mothers aluminum polish and looks great. We removed the mouse fur, which was sagging and kept the beautiful shinny aluminum and added all the recessed lights like the newer models. Also ripped out carpet and installed 15 year Armstrong vinyl flooring. The fabric on dinette still looks new although a bit dated, maybe we’ll redo one day soon. I’m pretty sure another brand would not of lated this long. We hope to keep Bambi another 20 years. 😊 Show less

My Airstream 35' Land Yacht cummins/Allison Freightliner chassis is remarkable. The LP Onan allows for residential propane hookup for months of self sufficient power supply. Add solar and your set for backup power. 50 amp power hookup,interior with solid wood cabinets, wood flooring, dual AC's, dash inverter with new cooling system, massive interior and exterior storage,queen walk around bed, front to back stereo speakers, large tv's in lazy boy electric seating lounge area and massive kitchen and dining area make for the perfect mobile retirement home. In process of a full restoration project to create what I personally consider the hallmark of motorhomes. Show less
