is when they have the r v show where you can learn about everything and anything r v you were ever interested in including the various types of things that you can do to your  be as well including bedding and baskets and cutlery and so much more but we're going to take a look around at the various sizes and styles that are offered here and maybe some of the things that you can do or  country as i'm walking around one of the first products that really caught my attention was over here with these guys this machine but i'm going to have them introduce him so i'll start with this guy here and you are equipped to last a lot that's correct the reason why there's basically two applications for pressure washers and one is residential which that's what this system here is and then you got to marshall and commercial motor homes really do get blast with bugs from the wind shear world took two years in the making to get to this but in a lot of product research we have a commercial grade modern that has been a while back check the oil in it once a year and a tranny testing system and the popped it self and so when he turns the system on it's going to like a lot of our pressure washers right now we don't protection system in it too so if you did forget about it an hour later it was still running and if it gets too warm it shuts itself off i don't know how you'd actually forget about having the pressure water go on but yeah  now you also this is mounted inside or can be noted inside and you actually have some pictures to show where it's mounted i believe right on the key to this is that it's plumbed right into your motorhome or fifth so as i came down the steps i saw the airstreams over this way and when i came down even further i found a little timeline history we're going to take a look at as we're about to take a look at the time like i have with gary aiken is that correct that's correct and you are with air stream and then you factor the manufacture of these beautiful trailers ok so we have a little timeline history here to tell you and i guess it starts in nineteen well actually the timeline here starts a little bit earlier than that with with our founder wally baiame who founded airstream actually in one nine hundred thirty one but this tells a little bit about his life and what brought him to become the founder of airstream brand they talk about where he was born in baker oregon he was a child of the northwest and he was a born traveler talks about him as a young boy and what he did in oregon living in a small two wheel covered wagon while he was beat while was hurting so he had that was his first camping experience we want to talk a lot more about his life and then also what else was going on during that era but he also enrolled member sure the marine did a tour of duty circled the world three times and then went to stanford university and graduated in one thousand nine hundred three this is all before he formed airstream and civil law he became a publisher and i know a little bit about that because from twenty three to twenty nine he had seven magazines in los angeles various types and unfortunately during the great depression one hundred twenty nine those magazines failed he had something to fall back on because he was designing  traders at that time actually putting together designs and selling them to popular mechanics and what actually started what actually started airstream was that in nineteen thirty one people began to ask him to build some of his designs and he started building them in his backyard in culver city california that one of the first was right there actually this is just a bit of the do it yourself trailer from that era home a travel trailer you could have i don't believe this is one of the ones that wally actually built this is one of his trailers that he builders of these were plans for an improved travel player and popular mechanics he did and one of the beginning patients while i did was he dropped the floor down between the axles so you could actually stand up in the trailer which was a revolution in the times and then we continue on into the thirty's forty's in the thirty's and forty's he actually as i said one hundred thirty one built the very went bankrupt which built a aluminum trailer that looked somewhat like here stream goes today wally also moonlighted for bolts teller and he bought them out of receivership took their design refined their design moved the and then that the shop there i guess yeah this is the original factory in van nuys way well one of the original factories in van nuys california moved out there from downtown l a at that time a interesting thing that we talk about during the thirty's that was really the heyday of the travel trailer original heyday of the travel trailer business because people were buying trailers and chasing their jobs around the country and actually during that time up to three hundred trailer manufacturers that were in business in the p t barnum of the travel trailer business for lack of a better way to put it he became an individual that promoted the r v lifestyle before in the thirty's people bought them because we needed them because they were traveling to the jobs where the jobs were in the fifty's they basically had to create an industry which is the r v industry of today and he was and he developed these things called caravans and the and the caravan club in one hundred fifty five of these caravans began with a trip to mexico in one thousand fifty one with sixty three trailers of all different types not just here for streams and back and it was not a very good trip and he swore he'd never do it again but then he got a punch promotion for it so the next time he did it the next in one hundred fifty three would airstreams only got a tremendous amount of coverage and so at that point airstream began to get his reputation for girl ability and the feel of the last which you had and they also that it was a spirit of adventure at that point for a while by and then in one thousand fifty  ohio for a while that was a called the painted airstreams because there were actually steel caps with aluminum in the middle and they were painted to show you couldn't see the difference at that point we also built the classic motor homes from seventy nine hundred eighty six which are the aluminum motor homes that look like airstreams quite the collector's items now like most airstreams are but very much collectors items where people repairing them and redoing them all the time also during this era in the seventies and eighties airstream became you know really part of americana they were in the air stream was the the when the apollo astronauts came back for the first time airstream was used for them to go inside and live in so the wouldn't contaminate the earth when there was the concern of the contamination from the moon also up until the last shuttle flight airstream classic motorhome was uses the shuttle back and forth to the space shuttle and to the apollo during that time to make sure there's a photo of that over there some other things we also still have to airstream thirty four foot trailers in use by the state department and the white house when they put them inside c seventeen s for travel to rough terrain or terrain where  someone might be at risk and where they need countermeasures and they are friends and they travel in an air stream and then today we are still in jackson center ohio still building the same iconic product long lasting kind of product that we've always built and we have some little mini ones to look like when we build the base camp at the time we no longer build the base camp but it was a iconic trailer that we built but our but our real claim to fame obviously is the classic aluminum trailer that we still build and still the bulk of our business and this is actually the international c c d which is the was the driving force the first travel trailer one of the first and and but i mean if you remember any of the old time movies that's all they travel there right i mean like lucy takes i thank you gary for taking us a little tour through airstream and i guess we talked to a local representative and check out a few of the airstreams that are actually here yep that should be good and frankly we have one of the best years reviewers in the country in covington now the attributes of all of the airstream travel trailers and has a bathroom in a shower and has a picture bad to take stein out of the stove top a sink a refrigerator and can see that some of the folks are there checking it out adding to the light weight of the sport models again making it just easier to tell very easy to take care of just a simple white down with some tunes simple grain or any something like that and we've go got air conditioning we have ventilation fans the windows open up so you can ventilate with fresh air so that's the sleeping quarters right there that's the sleeping quarters right there we have a bed that's almost seven feet long ok to like the small children or one adult for sleeping there like that and you can see four out of so when you're having a meal you see four for dinner and i suppose if you absolutely had to you could probably fit somebody on the floor in between here yeah there are there is definitely enough room for someone to lay down six feet and under and then does that we have  little refrigerator i call it a small hotel refrigerator you know you can start out with your favorite beverage your orange juice milk does next little compact yeah right now a more common tree here you have an air conditioning unit you have a fan you have a heater you have your systems monitor over here where you can monitor how full or how empty your   this one is a twenty three foot and craig was saying it's also built for two people to be comfortable and as we take a look in give me a quick rundown of some of the teachers in the back you have a small hanging closet and two drawers and then on the opposite side you have a long hanging cabinet with a shelf o  you can go off and show your twenty five footer which is very very nicely appointed for four adults ok so as i look at twenty five footer one you can you can buy and redo it if we have mechanics that are like magicians they can make those scratches go away when it comes to a dent pretty much if you don't want to wear it like a  loads of leather seats i guess leather seats this is an option that you can get it's fairly new for two thousand and twelve with this this this unit here will suite two people in the queen bed up front and you can also sleep in adults here and a over here we're probably get one along here and then another one going across why exactly and then the twenty five footer and the twenty seven footer they have a nice little feature here and you can make a wider twenty seven foot now is this the largest that you have actually no it's not we have a twenty eight foot a thirty foot in a thirty one foot wow yeah and ok you get the queen bed back there r you have the kitchen sink which is a really nice deep stainless steel is that the covers that i see like that usually four to give you counter space when you're not using exactly this is something that comes from the boating industry where they also have a problem with counter space so this gives you a little bit of counter space on all the trailers they cover so again you have a prop space or something like we have the same set up in the twenty seven footers we did a twenty five footer so we have the bed here that i'll sleep you have children depending on how big they are all of us just say you could actually two children over in the dining area it is why they're not for maybe some eight year olds something like that and an older child over here so you can actually sweet sweet family of five in this very very comfortably and again the same audio visual equipment with the i pod dock the blu ray player surround sound was subwoofer which comes in most of the trip well this has been a fascinating tour through airstrip and i want to thank both of you gary and craig for taking us through the  streamline quite a bit of the history so if you want to be tricked out your twenty nine foot trailer or any size for that matter but this one happens to be twenty nine there's a couple of gentlemen here that will tell us some of the items that are being carrier actually weighs forty two pounds and what else in the back here we have a wireless backup monitor system on it and the monitor we actually have just attached to the window on the inside so you able to see the monitor actually go inside your your pickup truck or your vehicle based on the trailer and then the awning is set up so that if the wind blows it has a motion detector it they run seven different colors you can choose a color you want we actually had seven on a rotation right now showing all the different colors and stuff like that and then you are saying something about the axle that is a full suspension upgraded suspension right here is a standard sac amount for any travel trailers designed the more right suspension is what we install that's the more right four thousand that's an actual full size bushing that gives you about four inches of travel up and down it's like two on the thing on the on and i on a cloud i to everything amounts to the bracket and everything like that but the t v mount is separate from the actual alcott entertainment center that means fall so what's we have satellite dario and of course your playing the trailer moving side to side but back and forth it doesn't completely stop it so that's why we installed the stabilizer bar here to prevent the back and forth motion and then up front we have had upgraded the battery system from a twelve volt batteries to a six volt battery simply fit because of the new charges just about everything that we installed on with the inverter solar panels and stuff like that we also on the tongue jacquie installed little fast way  so is what it does is prevent you happen to throw blocks on your trailer every time you get out to do it and what it does is well when it extends we actually have one on this play over here when you retract the trailer for the ton jack to flip the clips back up out of the way and then when you extend it unlocks it comes down and locks in the place on the ground by the the trailers on weight so that that's there's a lot of cool things you can trick out your trailer for them and that's just on the outside that's on the outside inside we took out the standard r v mattress and we upgraded to actually designed for an r plastic style r v toilet to a all and we also inside the lighting we have replaced it with l e d s we did keep a couple lights up there with the bulb so you can tell the difference early get back here oh wow this is actually a boat said situation here ok for two thousand this is kind of cool place movie r v so of course as we come back out there showing blocking in the tire so there's not going to roll anywhere you guys also rent this tricked out r v and what one can do is give you all kinds of ideas that's just way cool a lot of cool stuff on it yeah all right well thank you for your time no problem thank you we will see what our journey here take us as it turns out the show is getting ways to close shortly so whether you're looking for something that has a pop out or maybe a pop much smaller but also
