What’s New for Travel Trailer Design Year 2023?
Twin Beds Options for the International and Flying Cloud 23FB
The 23FB layout is the fastest Airstream that consists of double axles and is likewise the longest design that is available in what we describe as the narrow body design (8ft. outside width)– making it special among the Silver Bullet lineup. This little and “perfect” layout is among our most popular choices and consists of all of the functions that make adventuring in an Airstream something to keep in mind.
Did you capture the interesting design year statement for the Airstream Touring Coach item lineup? The extraordinary E1 Plan includes an effective Volta battery system that gets rid of liquid lp (LP) from the formula and includes all-electric elements powered by an enormous 12.1 kilowatt-hour lithium battery pack.
Upgrades Throughout the Travel Trailer Lineup
Solar and Batteries
As tourists and wanderers uncovered outdoor camping throughout the pandemic and likewise checked out the charm of boondocking (outdoor camping without standard recreational vehicle connections), the subject of solar energy and batteries were regularly at the top of the list when talking with consumers due to the fact that the majority of the camping sites had actually been scheduled out months ahead of time. Boondocking and utilizing more energy from the sun needs photovoltaic panels and batteries to hold that energy– the longer you wish to remain, the more you’ll likely require of both.
While not yet a complete solar roofing system like you might have seen on the eStream Principle Travel Trailer, we’re delighted to reveal the addition of boosted solar efficiency along with an extra panel with practically all Airstream travel trailers. We have actually likewise made the shift to 12-volt Televisions throughout the travel trailer lineup ( with the exception of Traditional). This kind of television is extremely energy effective while likewise maximizing an inverted circuit for other functions when required.
An Enhanced Solar Range and an Extra Panel
The design year upgrades in solar energy consist of a shift to high-performance Merlin Solar where each solar range is 100 watts versus 90 watts per panels utilized in previous years (+10 watts per panel). With greater output and complete prospective wattage that surpasses the previous generation of photovoltaic panels, Merlin stiff panels are an upgrade that really improves the travel experience whether boondocking or taking a trip in between camping sites.
Stiff Panels from Merlin Solar:
- Superior efficiency in all light conditions
- Quicker to “get up” and get to work
- High UV Resistance
- Parallel operation makes it possible for each panel to run separately or jointly as a strong group– taking full advantage of the collection of solar energy in all lighting environments and circumstances
- Military-grade style, remarkable sturdiness, and lasting
- Stiff, yet enhanced to carry out with the curved roofing system of the Airstream
The roof-mounted solar panels and front solar connection port collaborate to offer collective charging for your batteries which increases performance and reduces charging time.
Consumer Option of Batteries
New for design year 2023 is the alternative for consumers to pick their own batteries at the dealer upon shipment ( with the exception of Traditional and Pottery Barn Scandal Sheet). This upgrade supplies versatility which makes it possible for each Airstreamer to pick the very best battery chemistry for their particular requirement. Preparation to remain at camping areas that provide coast power? Lead acid or AGM batteries will be ideal. Aiming to venture far from the grid and require more battery capability? High-performance lithium batteries are your go-to. With this upgrade, we have actually updated to a multi-stage auto-detecting power converter, making it smooth to drop-in various batteries (by chemistry) and does not need any physical modifications for the power system to change.
This customer-centric upgrade is another example of cumulative feedback from consumers and dealerships alike. The battery versatility agrees with, however understanding that fresh batteries that have not begun their service warranty yet is something we’re delighted to provide consumers. While no longer consisted of as part of the formerly identified solar bundle, your licensed dealership will deal with you to figure out the battery option that works finest for your experiences.
For the Classic and Pottery Barn Scandal sheet designs, a 200Ah battery bank (2 – 100Ah lithium batteries) is still consisted of from the Airstream factory.
Revamped Media Console
The media console can be discovered in the majority of overhead storage locations in the galley location. This cabinet has actually normally held the radio, USB ports, and Blu-Ray/DVD gamer. New for design year 2023 is the elimination of the Blu-Ray/DVD gamer and an enhanced media console style that saves money on area. An HDMI port makes it possible for consumers to bring their own media or streaming gadget based upon their choice (Apple television, Chromecast, Fire Television, Roku, and so on). With a 110v outlet and USB ports easily situated beside the HDMI port, you can power up your gadget, link to Airstream Connected Wi-Fi, and begin streaming your preferred program.
For designs that consist of more than one tv, the HDMI port plays the exact same media on both Televisions (with the best input picked) and extends the alternative to connect an HDMI switch– making it possible to establish several streaming gadgets that can be altered with the tap of a button.
