Life has changed for so many people in the past couple of years. Including us.
During the pandemic, we sheltered at our property in Washington and were joined by our dear friends Matt & Diana. During their visit, Matt helped us install our dream electrical system.
After a long winter on our property, we discovered that our water heater had a leak and damaged the vinyl. We brought the trailer to Ultimate Airstream in Portland and replaced the floor and installed a tankless hot water heater.
While we waited for the repair, we stayed in a few Airbnb’s. This also coincided with a big change in our work situation. Suddenly, we were both on zoom calls all day and needed our own space.
By the time the trailer was ready for us, we had adjusted to living in a house and made the decision to get off the road.
So we brought the trailer to the Airstream dealer in Las Vegas to get a 100 point inspection (or whatever they call it) and fix any issues and updates that we felt were important – like replacing all of the screens. All to say, we’ve done a lot of upgrades and updates to this trailer. Check out the list:
| POWER – upgraded in 2020 |
|---|
| Six (6) RELiON RB100 lithium iron phosphate batteries |
| Six (6) roof mounted Renogy 100W solar panels |
| Victron 150 BlueSolar MPPT charger |
| Victron Multiplus 12 3000 inverter charger |
| Two (2) Redarc DC to DC chargers |
| INTERIOR UPGRADES |
| Weboost Drive X RV booster (2017) |
| New dinette table, corian counters throughout, undermount kitchen sinks, replace faucets (2018) |
| Replaced shower door & trim (2018) |
| New 15,000 BTU Air Conditioner (2018) |
| Upgraded oven to Dometic CU-434 (2018) |

| New Dometic toilet with spray and quiet close seat (2020) |

| New floor (2021) |
| New Boss Radio (2022) |
| EXTERIOR UPGRADES |
| 16″ Rims |

| Dometic 651916CXX1C0 – 15,000 BTU (2018) |
| Pipes and seals in belly pan replaced (2022) |
| LP Regulator & pigtail replaced (2022) |
| Black, grey and fresh-water tanks flushed by Airstream service (2022) |
| Replaced all screens (2022) |
| Entry door seal replaced (2022) |
So how do we price this? NADA value for our Airstream without any upgrades is $74,155. All of the upgrades total around $38k. Considering all of the above, we think a fair price is $88,000.
