Airstream Globetrotter reviews

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

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

The floorplan lives so much larger than you’d expect. Flow, storage, lounge space and sleeping area. Airstream wins. Especially when no slide is involved. You really don’t miss anything. Well built, we have been pleased with the quality. Light and bright, the abundance of windows are fantastic. We really pay attention when booking campsites now because the windows take in exceptional views especially at the right sites. We opted for rain bed plan which is great! Extra floor space to get ready in, for the dog bed, and easier access to storage under the beds. Also nice to have separate beds if traveling with a friend or a kid etc. Show less

This RV is awesome! We love the quality and craftsmanship Airstream offers. The materials used inside and out are of the highest quality. The Globetrotter has lots of great storage throughout. The bathroom and shower are nicely sized and well thought out along with all of the other living areas. Show less

Bought new in 2020. Have been on several short trips (max 4 hour drive each way) with it. New to hard side camping and have 2 little kids that are hard on everything. Tow this with a Ram 2500 Diesel. The dealership in SLC was fair and honest, did a great job. We have had no major issues but some learning curve items. To winterize this model the water pump is hidden behind a panel that has to be removed. That detail is omitted from then owners manual. Yes, you have to destroy the panel to remove it. Positives: the timeless airstream design and shell makes for an easy aerodynamic bumper pull tow in the Wyoming winds. The quality is very solid generally with a few exceptions. Nothing has broken, fallen off, etc. The instant on water heater is glorious. We got dual zone AC model and it is a great feature. The heater will keep you warm on a cold night, easy. The kitchen is small but works with effort. The entire plumbing system is well thought out and easy to implement from city water in/boondocking to tracking the grey and black tanks to emptying them when required.The furniture and bed are comfortable and easy changed in configurations as needed. Tires, suspension, lights, cabinets, electric, fuse panel all well engineered. Windows are well placed and provide a great view. The essential bones of this trailer are a cut above-well built and well engineered. The awnings all work well and retract easily, no flail here. Storage is more than adequate for our minimalist 4 person family. There is a solid powered vent in each of the main area, shower and bathroom-nice touch. Cons: -the windows like to stick shut and it is a 2 man job opening them. Takes just a few seconds but you GOTTA have 2 people; 1 inside and 1 outside. -Much of the non essential paneling is veneer fiberboard like you find in IKEA furniture. Really? In a $100,000 airstream? Essential structures are solid but they went cheap anywhere they thought you wouldn’t look. -No auto level function. Not the end of the world, but you will invest a few minutes at each camp. -the shower door is cheap crap, not even Walmart sells stuff this bad. -In our model the kitchen counter space is limited. You play Tetris at meal time. -Kitchen storage is a little light, bedroom storage is voluminous. Overall very solid and we would buy it again. Show less

Purchased this Globe Trotter in 2019. Problems I have had, 1. all the clear coat is peeling and underneath the clear coat is some kind of nasty looking groth , 2. the front AC never worked. I took it to Sutton RV and they told me that Airstream refused to fix it under warranty. Why Doesn't Airstream warn people you can not take these trailers close to the coast or you will have this disgusting stuff forming on all the aluminum. Be aware of them they lie when they sell it and tell you what a good warranty they have. Show less

I have had an amazing tome with my Airstream. This excellent historically beautiful creation has people stopping me to take photos all the time. I am single and have done all the travelling by myself and it’s an easy trailer to handle, especially with the automatic awning!! Show less

I have had a lot of experience camping. I truly enjoyed owning the classic airstream…it is quality. I am a person who likes nice things and this is above and beyond cool. I loved the stereo system and really enjoyed the floor plan in the Globetrotter. I could do everything myself and with ease. I really liked the aromatic awning and all the mood lighting. I will miss everyone wanting to take photos…because it’s just that neat. Show less

Best made recreational vehicle period. Hand crafted fit, and finish of high quality components provides the RV enthusiast with a turn key problem free open road experience. That is the reason once you move up to the Airstream quality, you will never go back to the mass produced varieties. The high resale value is just an extra bonus. Show less

Bought the Globetrotter to use on the West Coast, we have an International Serenity 23FB here on the East Coast. We particularly like the wrap around windows on the front and the back of the Globetrotter, although I do prefer the bathroom in the 23FB. Very happy with the Globetrotter. While in storage in LA it was hit and dented by some 45' class A parked next to us. Airstream LA had it as good as new in 3 days to the tune of $10,200 (funny, my daughters trailer cost about the same as fixing a dent in my Airstream). If you can afford it, buy an Airstream. Note that Airstream is the only RV manufacturer with a nationwide dealer network with factory trained technicians. You don't have to bring it back to the guy you bought it from. Show less
