I agree with the other two comments, Grech. Airstream is owned by Thor Industries, Grech is owned by Grech. Airstreams make great trailers, should stick to what they do best.
Yup, we've bailed for a hotel once. It was Memorial Day and we booked the last site at a Maryland State Park. That site was maybe suitable for a tent or a VW camper van. We fought that site for hours. Finally, we pulled out, went to the state park's resort hotel (they had one - how convenient), parked the Sub, booked a room, and went straight to the bar for martini's. It happens...
Unbelievable, truly disappointing!!! I want things to get better for wander local!! Dash is rocking life😁, he is adorable ! Hum, wonder if airstream is going to make this right?
Wow guys im so very sorry . Seems like this van is more headache n heartache then fun . I also would send it back get your money back . Travel in the airstream or build out your own van . Hugs n my love always ❤️ From Michigan, Tam ❤❤❤❤
@@Wanderlocal I could c U n D doing this it would be great content also . I would love to watch U 2 build your own van ... U could make it the way U want it .... mucho Love ❤️ 😍 💖
Guys, I feel so bad for you and it is amazing how well you are handling what I would call an "RV crisis". We all support Airstream because we love our Airstream's but enough should be enough. You need to find a quality Lemon Law attorney and send that junk back.
I have totally bailed on the idea of van camping. Cost, poor reliability, and difficulty finding campsites. My truck and a bed tent but mostly nice hotels.
I admire your patience with the vans challenges. The company should exchange yours for a “new” fully tested van. The level of goodwill created would address the amount of negative comments regarding the van. Road Warrior Dash is looking as happy as ever. 😀
It might be a good time to say goodbye to the 🍋. Because it's more about the safety of your family and the 💵 that you're putting in this for more problems after problems to occur.
Hope Airstream will take care of you guys. As for gas mileage, you always get better gas mileage heading east. That may be part of the reason for the increase.
When we were full time RVers our kids were grade school age and sometimes we would stay in a hotel. Our kids loved indoor pools, cable tv and the hotel breakfast
I’m so sorry 😢 that’s an absolute nightmare for you guys. I hope it’ll all sort out. The best solution would be that airstreams buy it back from you guys. We’re keeping you in our prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Almost 2 months have past since this video so I hope you’ve worked everything out. You’re way more patient than I could ever be. I would have gotten rid of it long, long ago.
I’m so sorry you are dealing with more problems in the van. I had no idea when I saw you at Airstream-Tampa that there had been additional problems as you ventured across the United States. I, on the other hand, am thoroughly loving my new Trade Wind (BRN #1889) and I hope to see you guys at International this fall. Be safe, stay positive and hug Dash for me!
I think you should decide what your family’s comfort needs are and start with that. It’s your home for goodness sake. It needs to feel like you want to live in it. If it doesn’t work, do something else. I would feel like I was cheating if I would prefer to go to a hotel to get relief, unless you were at a place that had no accommodations whatsoever to park, or your home was in the shop.
I agree if you really want van life Grech is the ticket. Im not anti-Airstream i have a FC27. Maybe they can work out the bugs on your van but so far the track record is not so good. Wish you the best. Hope you and Dash are feeling better soon.
Hi Lauren and Daniel, I was so happy you got the van back and then the windshield and now the heat. 😢 I pray you figure out this lemon van. How disappointing! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Don't feel bad about staying in a hotel you deserve to be warm and comfortable. Dash loves it and he is so cute. ❤
I know you really missed the alde heat in your classic! Yes it's a lemon. Dash is so cute,wait till ha changes the channel on you in the middle of a good movie! Stay safe.
You should custom build a van. Limitless van in Washington state did awesome job for my daughter. I’m so jealous. I unfortunately bought a Thor Tranquility Mercedes 4x4 and have had terrible time getting things fixed. Not with Mercedes but with LaMesa service center. Currently the Charging system is not reliable and since I’m a solo traveler and travel off grid a lot I need a reliable system. Goes back again March 18th. Feel for you. Hope you get things resolved. Wish me luck! Love your channel❤️
If that was my van Id be driving it right back to the factory service centre in Ohio….Id be getting them to go over entire rig…..electrical/ plumbing everything. I am sure they would do this ….. and resolve all ur issues. Imo u should of done that as soon as ur problems began for ur rig. The level of service there is top notch. If it is a true lemon they would of dealt with that as well. And if u weren’t satisfied u could of just walked over to there HQ and demanded to speak to someone in management who could solve ur issues. call Jackson centre make an appointments. Send an email with all the issues u have had and have cc the CEO of AS. 😀
I would get rid of that van ASAP. It is just incredible the stuff you have been through with this thing. I would have chucked it a long time ago. Airstream makes great tow behind trailers , but that van is just trash. I am glad we have seen all this with this thing. So many people have wanted one but after seeing all this, they are rethinking.
So sorry for all the issues you’re having with the van. Interesting to see your trip to the Supershow, before we met at the content creators meet up. Best wishes for you guys and the van problems. - Jim
I support you both 100% and suggest that you return that piece of junk and consider alternative companies. They’re not the only rv companies. Sooooo sorry and good luck. Take care of Dash. 😮😮😮
Hey there Fernandez fam! My loyalty runs to you guys, not Airstream. I'd be worried sick if you were my kids in that van with my grandbaby. I'm sure you've already done something in the almost 2 months since this video was recorded (I hope!) In the meantime, hope Tokyo was a blast and you're enjoying your time in Japan! 🏯 Love from the Jersey Shore 🏖, Joan
Hoping Grech comes to Canada. Love my AS trailer but down the road I would like a van. At the RV show here last month….nothing matches the AS vans. Been disappointed in the Pleasure way and Leisure way yes they are nice but still not at level of AS. Hoping a Grech is as good in person as looks in the videos. On AS side they probably build way more vans than Grech…..so how many come off the line with major issues….percentage for each manufacturer.
So sorry to hear of continuing problems. We bought a globetrotter from Airstream of Tampa 2 years ago and love it. Airstream should buy back the van with all the problems and total lack of trust. Just wouldn’t want to take it out on a trip. Best wishes really enjoy your guys
I really do love you guys and enjoy your adventures but my thought is get rid of the van! It’s a lemon and isn’t big enough or comfortable enough for your family! Also, having Dash way in the back would bother me…
Good video 😊 just saying that van has problems not built correctly lot of electrical equipment not talking to each system Airstream not as good as it was you should have learned your lesson the first time things went bad don't understand a 300 thousand pieces of equipment that was that's no good don't exchange the van get a new one or just get rid of it you should just go from hotel to hotel In some other vehicle 🤔😆
Ok guys … look I love u all … but at some point you need to say “enough is enough “ sell this thing and either stick with ur old rig or buy a 5th wheel… get rid of this thing… just saying❤
Dump that van. OMG we’re tired of the B-word about the van. We all know it’s a lemon. Please just face it: it’s over with the van. Ya’ll were much happier in the regular Airstream.
That vehicle is a lemon I'd be giving it right back to them and telling them to keep it!!

A lemon all the way. Maybe trade it in? When will you catch up to a closer actual date of filming? How are Daniel's parents doing?
Wow guys im so very sorry . Seems like this van is more headache n heartache then fun . I also would send it back get your money back . Travel in the airstream or build out your own van . Hugs n my love always ❤️ From Michigan, Tam ❤❤❤❤
Hey, Tammy! A build out would be a cool option. :)
@@Wanderlocal I could c U n D doing this it would be great content also . I would love to watch U 2 build your own van ... U could make it the way U want it .... mucho Love ❤️ 😍 💖

I would never buy an Airstream Van after watching what you went through.
Good call! 😉
I think you've gotten a lemon here. So sorry for all your problems. With what you pay for these vans they should last.
It might be a good time to say goodbye to the 🍋. Because it's more about the safety of your family and the 💵 that you're putting in this for more problems after problems to occur.
You’re not wrong, friend.
Hope Airstream will take care of you guys. As for gas mileage, you always get better gas mileage heading east. That may be part of the reason for the increase.
Ahhh, very cool to know. It makes sense.
So sorry you are still having issues with the van🙁. Dash has got it figured out 😆. ❤❤❤
10000000% return return return for that level of Rv it should be mint return return now now!
I can’t believe Airstream hasn’t contacted you to resolve your issues. That’s total customer abandonment!
When we were full time RVers our kids were grade school age and sometimes we would stay in a hotel. Our kids loved indoor pools, cable tv and the hotel breakfast
We agree! It can be a good reprieve, too, after a long trip to help reboot! 🙌
Get rid of the lemon you bought.
Oh my … maybe it is time to consider getting rid of that lemon. There are so many other options out there for van life.😩
I’m so sorry 😢 that’s an absolute nightmare for you guys. I hope it’ll all sort out. The best solution would be that airstreams buy it back from you guys. We’re keeping you in our prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Almost 2 months have past since this video so I hope you’ve worked everything out. You’re way more patient than I could ever be. I would have gotten rid of it long, long ago.
It’s currently at Airstream of Tampa. 😬
Hope things get better for you all, Dash is so cute Have fun in Japan marathon
I am so sorry you two are going through so much with the van. I pray Airstream says it’s a lemon and takes it back. 🙏❤️🙏
I’m so sorry you are dealing with more problems in the van. I had no idea when I saw you at Airstream-Tampa that there had been additional problems as you ventured across the United States.

Safe travels sweet family! I'm in FL myself. Come here, it's warmer...you'll make it!
We miss that warm weather and will be there soon!!! 🌞

Ending with Dash was too cute
I know you really missed the alde heat in your classic! Yes it's a lemon. Dash is so cute,wait till ha changes the channel on you in the middle of a good movie! Stay safe.
Ok, enough is enough. At this point I think this is the best promotion series about why not to buy an Airstream Van.....

The universe is speaking - go back to the Airstream Classic!!!
We still own it, and absolutely love it. :)

Hey, Jim! Good to hear from you. Yeah, this trip was - eventful - to say the least. 😜
Get you a Greco strata ion tour!!!
They are pretty cool!
😄👍🌹
I support you both 100% and suggest that you return that piece of junk and consider alternative companies. They’re not the only rv companies. Sooooo sorry and good luck. Take care of Dash. 😮😮😮
Bummer about the van issues....but nothing wrong with staying at a nice hotel if the RV is not cutting the mustard.

You guys need a The Brüder EXP-6 Off-Road Review - Expedition Portal
It just sickens me that you pay so much money for these vehicles and look what you're getting for your money! Praying for y'all! ❤🙏
I mean, yeah. You lost if you have to check into a hotel. How many five star hotels can you stat at for the price of that van already! 😢
You should try and visit Santa fa in New Mexico beautiful city🎉🎉🎉
Hoping Grech comes to Canada. Love my AS trailer but down the road I would like a van. At the RV show here last month….nothing matches the AS vans.

I think you do know it's time to get rid of it. Say goodbye and don't look back.
I think the pitol light may have gone out or it maybe running to rich and not burning completely
So sorry to hear of continuing problems. We bought a globetrotter from Airstream of Tampa 2 years ago and love it. Airstream should buy back the van with all the problems and total lack of trust. Just wouldn’t want to take it out on a trip. Best wishes really enjoy your guys
We agree! We’ll see how all of this shakes out. 🤞
Lemon. Take it back!!!
I am sorry you have to go through all this with that lemon, this is getting old, just give it up and move back to the air stream. They should owe you.
It’s time to retire the van. Get back in the Airstream and the truck, everything worked in them. It’s time to get rid of “The Money Pit”.
A lemon for sure….airstream should be taking care of you because this makes them look terrible…
I really do love you guys and enjoy your adventures but my thought is get rid of the van! It’s a lemon and isn’t big enough or comfortable enough for your family! Also, having Dash way in the back would bother me…
Time to get rid of that van
Grech
Good video 😊 just saying that van has problems not built correctly lot of electrical equipment not talking to each system Airstream not as good as it was you should have learned your lesson the first time things went bad don't understand a 300 thousand pieces of equipment that was that's no good don't exchange the van get a new one or just get rid of it you should just go from hotel to hotel In some other vehicle 🤔😆
On a positive note. You’re in Albuquerque, so the van is likely to get stolen.
🤣 Maybe that’s not such a bad thing.
Ok guys … look I love u all … but at some point you need to say “enough is enough “ sell this thing and either stick with ur old rig or buy a 5th wheel… get rid of this thing… just saying❤
All we can say is that some things are ‘in the works’ - but take time. 😉 We love you too.
This is not looking good for Airstream. I would lose that van.
🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋
Can you spell LEMON yet!
🤣 You’re not wrong.
For a $300k investment in fun, it sure doesn’t seem to be paying many dividends…
You are not wrong, friend! 🤦🏻♂️
Dump that van. OMG we’re tired of the B-word about the van. We all know it’s a lemon. Please just face it: it’s over with the van. Ya’ll were much happier in the regular Airstream.
