Hello and welcome back to Colonial Airstream. My name is Patrick Belli and I'm a salesperson at the dealership.

Today we're going to showcase the new 2025 Airstream Caravel 16RB. The Caravel

is a series of trailers that also comes in a 20FB and a 22FB floorplan. This

is one of the smallest traditional Airstream travel trailers made, and it is the deluxe version, sharing the same four

floorplans as the Bambi. This trailer is 16 ft 7 in long, it's 8 ft wide. You have an

interior space of 7 ft 7 in. It's 9 ft 5 in tall, and the headroom on the interior is

6 ft 6 1/2 in. This trailer has a 3450 lb dry weight before options and a maximum

gross vehicle weight rating of 4300 lb. That gives you 950 lb of cargo capacity for factory options, and

the hitch weight is only 520 lbs. This floorplan features a front dinette that folds into a bed, a center galley kitchen,

and a wet bath with toilet and shower, and a rear 48x78 in double bed. I'm

going to take a look at the outside quickly, and then we'll head on inside for the tour. You can see one of the

unique features and favorite features of this trailer is the rear panoramic window. Look at that! This is all safety

glass; it's tinted. You've got hand-riveted frames around the window. It's got a gutter rail over that window, and this

window opens all the way up to three different heights. Airstream offers an optional window awning package for a roll-down

window awning here and one down the side. Some other factory options: you have two choices of color. We're going to be

Showcasing the Pebble today, but there's also a Driftwood option. The only difference between the two decors is the

color of the seat cushions. This trailer is also available with 100 watts of solar, with 200 amp-hours of

lithium iron phosphate batteries, with heat, which this one is equipped with. There's a rear bumper, polished aluminum,

You've got a lid that lifts up, and you gain access to some storage in here. You could put items that are capable of getting

wet in here. You have a lockable, insulated, and weather-sealed rear trunk area with a double gasket. In here, you have

access to the bins that come with the trailer, and you can slide them out here, or there are doors on the inside that you

could pass them through. There's also a light in this compartment, too, and it has vinyl flooring throughout the whole

entire trailer. So, it builds a shell, puts it on the chassis, puts the flooring down, and then they hand-carry in all the

furniture and all the equipment on the inside. Below that floor is a composite flooring, which will not absorb water; it

won't mold or mildew, has better screw retention, and there's no seam, so it's less prone to

creaking. In this compartment, it's lockable, like I mentioned, but above that you have a license plate bracket; your

Caravel medallion; above that, you have a wireless backup camera. It comes with a monitor; you plug it into your 12V socket

in your tow vehicle. You have your Airstream logo here; roof clearance lights; LED, double-stacked tail lights

here. The frame of the trailer is steel; it's a boxed frame, and it's all painted. The body is all aluminum; these corners

are stretch-formed. You've got aluminum ribs throughout the inside; you've got a joint over here with a center belt line.

protection with a chrome insert. You have the rub rail protection over here, which seals the wrap and is fully enclosed.

enclosed underbelly up to the side of the body. This has heated tanks as well, so you could handle unexpected

overnight drops and temperature changes when it gets below freezing for a little bit of time, and it's going to protect your

tanks from freezing. You have 2 inches of insulation all throughout the shell. It's not that pink fiberglass insulation that

off-gasses and hurts your throat and stings your eyes. It's a very low-profile 12,000 BTU propane furnace with exhaust

vents. You have stabilizer jacks on all four corners. These are heavy-duty jacks. It comes with the tool you can crank down

your jacks, which takes the bounce out of your walk.  And you have one on all four corners of the trailer. Colonial

Airstream gives you a waste hose with an elbow and a donut so you can securely snap

it into the campground; a freshwater hose; a power cord adapter that brings you from 30 amp to 15 amp; and a parts

catalog and some gloves. We give you a lot of stuff, even chemicals for your toilet and toilet paper. Over here is the

waste gate. You snap this cap off and allow you to discharge your 30-gallon gray and black

waste combination tank right out over here. And there's a 23-gallon freshwater tank on board. Just pull the waste gate

out; that will allow your combination tank to discharge. And that's where your toilet water, your shower water, and your

sink wastewater all go into. And again, that tank is insulated and heated. You can see the little box underneath the

trailer.  Got some marker lights down the side; a tankless water heater—so, an on-demand water heater—so you set your temperature

On the inside, it runs on propane and gives you continuous hot water. You've got some P-hole, hand-riveted windows here, a cooktop,

ventilation over here. Open the louvers, turn on the fan; that'll exhaust out. You have the fill for your 20-gallon freshwater

tank. Take the cap off; you can fill up your tank over here. And then, under the trailer, there's some drains if you want

to drain it down. This is lockable, too, so is your outside, side utility shower. You've got hot and cold water out here with a

little wand that hangs up. That's lockable. Above the shower, we have the city water connection with a pressure

regulator built right in, and there's a high-pressure black tank flush for your combination gray/black tank. Uh, below the trailer, you could see

the drain valve over here for the freshwater tank. There's also low-point drains throughout the trailer and a

winterizing kit that allows you to easily winterize your trailer when you're done using it. Over here is a

waste hose storage tube, so you can take that waste hose when you're done using it and slide it right in underneath the

trailer. There's a cable inlet if you want to go to a campground and use your cable. You can hook in an external satellite dish

to this. It's also an Ethernet port, so if you use Starlink-type devices, you can easily plug it into your trailer, and

there's also a plug on the inside of the trailer. It comes with a 30-amp, 125-volt

smart plug here. And this is nice because you just push these, and it unlocks it, and you snap it in place. You don't have

to worry about the twist-lock style. Then no one ever gets it right, and they don't get good contact, and they wind up

melting their power cords. This thing's about 25 feet, and it plugs directly into a standard 30-amp, 125-volt campground

connection, and there's a little handle to help you pull it out. But we give you an adapter if you wanted to plug this into

a household electrical outlet. Over here is the VIN plate with tire information, tire pressure recommendations. Let's talk about tires.

These are 225/75R15 load range E Goodyear Endurance tires. They have a max inflation of 80 PSI and a max speed of

80 mph. You also have never-lube hubs, never-adjust brakes, a rubber torsion axle system, and a shock on each wheel on the

Caravel. There's also a drip tube for your air conditioning in that wheel well, so you don't get the water that runs

down the side of the trailer. If you look up, you could see that optional slimline Merlin solar panel, 100-watt, there on the

roof.  It gives you enough charge on your battery, so if you run it down slightly overnight when you're not plugged in, you

could recharge it. The solar never runs anything in the trailer; the solar charges a battery bank. The battery bank runs certain items; they're all 12V, and

there's an onboard 2000-watt inverter that comes standard on the Caravel that, when

you turn that on, it'll power dedicated outlets throughout the trailer. You can pretty much run everything off of your

battery bank/inverter except for the 13,500 BTU rooftop air conditioning with heat pump and the microwave. The

outlets that are inverter-capable are labeled inside. Up front you have a stainless steel wrap protector; it's

gapped from the body to allow some deflection if you hit some road debris. There's a hinge and screw caps that you

can swing out and clean behind here. You've got stone guards over the front glass that protects the front of the

trailer when you're towing down the highway, so you don't shatter your safety glass window. This rock guard opens and

allows you to open the window to three different heights, and it's gasketed so large debris doesn't fall behind it, but

it's not meant to keep water away from your glass, so water and some leaves and debris might get behind your rock guard

between that. So these—you take a screwdriver, turn a quarter turn; these swing out and lift off so you can clean

your glass and any debris that falls back there. Here's the extension of the frame; you can see it's all boxed. There's a

propane quick-disconnect port here and a hose you could hook up to a low-pressure grill if you want to cook outside, and

they make it purposely short so you don't cook underneath your awning. Two 20-lb propane tanks. Another thing that

Colonial Airstream does: we fill these for you; it's part of our prep, which we don't charge extra for. And there's a

regulator that allows you to switch between one bottle or another, or you can turn both bottles on, and when one is empty,

it automatically switches to the other one. And there's also a sight gauge here, so if it's red, you're out of propane

on whichever side it's pointing to. If it's green, you're good. Take the swing nut off, lift the cover off, and you can take your

propane tanks out and get them filled. Also, if you have a high-pressure grill and you don't want to use a low-pressure grill,

you could just take one of your tanks out and hook it up to your grill and cook away. And when you're done, put it

back in. And there's a latch here to keep this down behind here. Part of that optional solar charging system, this also

has the optional lithium iron phosphate batteries. These are two 100-amp-hour batteries with heat built in. The heat

allows you to charge them when it's below a certain temperature threshold, so there's a heat switch over here on the

side that you can turn on and with a thermostat, it will kick on and use its own battery capacity to heat the

battery. So it could take a charge off a solar or off of a shore power connection. Electric hitch jack up front to raise

and lower the... A light little cap comes off; you can manually crank the trailer with uh, this tool over here, in case

there was a failure. Also, if you get the trailer level the first time, you can tighten the screws and calibrate the

little bubble so it stays in the middle. Most people don't bother with that; they just use a little framing level. Trailer

breakaway cable over here. Never pull that or leave it out; it's meant for emergency purposes only, so leave that in.

2 5/16 inch ball for 520 lb hitch weight. Little coupler that lifts up to

lock it onto your tow vehicle. Trailer chains that you crisscross—safety chains—and then it has a

sway, so your vehicle is going to need to have a sway control and electric brake controller. You're required by law

to have that brake controller because this trailer has electric brakes on board. So you can have a factory controller, you could do an aftermarket
