2023 Airstream Globetrotter 25FB Twin Bed Review The 2023 Airstream Globetrotter 25FB Twin Bed is a stunning travel trailer that combines timeless Airstream design with modern luxury and practicality. With its distinctive aluminum exterior, sleek lines, and compact size, the Globetrotter 25FB is a perfect blend of classic Airstream charm and contemporary features aimed at the discerning traveler. Design & Build Quality: 9/10 Airstream has long been known for its high-quality craftsmanship, and the 2023 Globetrotter 25FB is no exception. The iconic polished aluminum exterior gleams under the sun, ensuring that this camper stands out wherever you take it. Inside, the Globetrotter is equally impressive, with a clean, minimalist design that utilizes premium materials like walnut cabinetry, ultra-leather seating, and expansive windows that offer panoramic views. The build quality is top-notch, as expected from Airstream. The aluminum body is not only eye-catching but incredibly durable, providing excellent insulation, soundproofing, and resistance to rust and corrosion. The smooth ride and stability are noticeable when towing, thanks to its robust frame and suspension system. Interior & Comfort: 8.5/10 The twin bed configuration of the 25FB is an appealing option for those who prefer individual sleeping spaces, or for couples who want a bit more room to stretch out. The beds themselves are comfortable, with high-quality memory foam mattresses and ample storage underneath. The layout feels spacious for a 25-foot trailer, and the clever design ensures every inch of space is put to good use. The living area is open and airy, with plenty of natural light streaming in through the large windows. The kitchen is well-equipped with a two-burner cooktop, a microwave, a high-end refrigerator, and plenty of counter space for meal prep. There’s a substantial amount of storage in the kitchen and throughout the entire trailer, with deep drawers, overhead cabinets, and even hidden compartments. The bathroom is compact but functional, featuring a stand-up shower, a porcelain toilet, and a sink with counter space. The design is sleek and clean, although a little tight for taller users. Technology & Features: 9/10 The 2023 Globetrotter 25FB comes with a wide array of high-tech amenities, all designed to make life on the road easier and more enjoyable. Airstream has partnered with brands like *Sonos* for premium audio, and the trailer includes USB charging ports, LED lighting, and smart technology integration throughout. The Airstream's Smart Control System allows you to monitor and control the trailer's climate, lighting, and more via a mobile app, which is a fantastic touch for those who enjoy tech-savvy solutions while camping. Towing & Performance: 8/10 Weighing in at around 6000 lbs, the 2023 Airstream Globetrotter 25FB is easily towable by most mid-sized SUVs or trucks, though you’ll want a vehicle with a tow capacity of at least 6,000 lbs for added peace of mind. On the road, the Globetrotter performs admirably, offering a smooth, stable ride thanks to its torsion axle suspension and solid braking system. The aerodynamic design helps reduce wind drag and improves fuel efficiency when towing, which is especially important for those planning long road trips. While towing the Globetrotter is relatively easy, it’s still a large trailer, so novice towers may need to get used to its size when maneuvering in tight spaces. Pros: - Beautiful, timeless design with premium materials - Comfortable twin bed configuration, perfect for couples or friends - Excellent build quality, highly durable and insulated - Abundance of smart features and tech integration - Solar panels for off-grid capabilities - Smooth towing and good fuel efficiency - Spacious and well-appointed kitchen and bathroom Conclusion: The 2023 Airstream Globetrotter 25FB Twin Bed is an exceptional option for those seeking a blend of luxury, performance, and iconic design. It offers a level of comfort and style rarely seen in travel trailers, with a fantastic layout and a suite of modern features that make life on the road easier. While it comes with a hefty price tag, the quality, durability, and overall experience it offers justify the investment for those who want a premium RV. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or a cross-country adventure, the Globetrotter is a reliable and stylish companion. Show less

Lived in this model for 2 years and had little to no issues. Easy to tow, easy to go off grid. To be fully boondockable, I recommend updgrading to Lithium, getting in inverter, and an additional solar panel. The kitchen area is very well laid out, and surprisingly there are a ton of storage options. It's well suited for 1 person and a pet. 2 people can also share the space, but not recommended for long term living arrangements. Show less

The quality of my 2022 Airstream classic has been exceptionally poor. Even worse has been Airstream’s refusal to under their warranty. We have had issues with leaks, water, pumps, cabinets, pulling away from the wall, molding, cheap plastic parts, control systems, touch screens, misaligned, entry door, electrical and lighting problems. We’ve had the camper back to the dealer many times and twice to Jackson Center at Airstream‘s home in Ohio for repairs. Airstream refuses to honor their warranty. I wish I had never bought the camper to start with. It has been a huge disappointment. Show less

We had so much fun in this Basecamp. It would go easily wherever wanted to go. And with the high clearance, there were few places that were out of reach. It has a wet bath and the back seating area changes to a king size bed. Case. It has an AC unit that will cool it down in no time. It also comes with the trauma heater that works like a charm. Must see this to believe how awesome Show less

DO NOT RECOMMEND AIRSTREAM or AIRSTREM RANGELINE. We purchased a new 2023 Airstream Rangeline in Feb 2023. The day of pick up, we noticed cabinets out of alignment, broken/missing items, unclean unit. We have been having issues with this unit since day one of pulling out of Blue Compass RV of Greensboro. On the first night- discovered a myriad of malfunctioning/dysfunction items, including electrical/ heating/water heating/battery charging/water tank & cabin temperature sensors/low glycol, water pump, overheated generator, MIRA app, and more. This unit has been in and out of service since purchase, and there solid since April 2024 for the same issues with heating, cooling, sensors, failed battery, leaking, electrical, and other things. In addition, there were a couple of mold infestation events while the vehicle was under the care of Blue Compass RV of Greensboro. There were multiple visits to the dealership and multiple failed camping attempts due to the unit malfunctioning. The last drop off was in April '24 was primarily due to the same heating, cooling, and electrical problems, cabinet misalignment, & collapse of a cabinet while driving, among others. Multiple issues were due to shoddy workmanship and poor-quality control. The heater didn't work in the winter and the AC didn't work in the summer. A few molds infestation incidences and roof leaking occurred during the service at Blue Compass of Greensboro. We asked for a replacement of a new working unit that does not have a history of mold issues and constant mechanical failures, or just give us a refund. Even though we purchased a new vehicle, neither Airstream nor Blue Compass RV is willing to step up and compensate us for our inconvenience, the loss of money/time/planned vacations. Rangeline is a hit and miss. Unfortunately, our unit was a miss with multiple signs of poor-quality control and engineering issues with having different software programs working together. PURCHASED: Feb’ 23 PICKED UP: March’ 23. DROPPED OFF FOR SERVICES: March, April, June, Sept, Nov of ’23, March ’24 twice, April ’24 and still there (now Sept 2023) – beyond Lemon Law. Show less

This B+ is so easy to drive. My previous RV was a 40 foot class A, and the difference in the driving experience is hard to put into words. The Mercedes chassis is like driving a car rather than an RV. I love the layout of this rig, perfect for 2 people. Show less

I have owned two Airstream Interstates, and 06 for 11 years and an 07 for 7 years. First with my late husband, for the past 10 years just myself and the dog, On a Mercedes Benz diesel engine, they reliably get 18-24 mpg, and are fully self contained so that everything one needs for life is within that rig . Easy to handle in all kinds of weather, up and down mountains without difficulty, and all manual so none of the annoyances of electronic gizmos that go bad, Get into the small spots, go where the big rigs can’t, explore the country in luxury accommodations.

At this trim level there are few added options. We did add the Air Hub connector along with Lithium Batteries, charging controller and 300 W rigid solar panels. We retro fit several locks to improve security and added snap pads to the stabilizers. Ready to hit the road tomorrow! Towing with a standard pick up with tow package and no problems. Show less

Classic Airstream Excella is a quality made travel trailer. It has smooth aluminum cladding and Aluminum internal structure. Durable interior materials and fabrics are also used. . The Airstream's smooth aerodynamic shape sheds weather and is easy to keep clean.

Overall, it is in great shape. A section of the copper pipe needs to be replaced behind the shower. A large section (5ft) of the copper pipe has already been replaced with PEX. All the other amenities are great. Dishes, a new bed, and a composting toilet are all included. Show less
