Expert Answers about Airstream


  • Recommended 12 Inch Wheels and Tires for 2007 Stinger Motorcycle Trailer
  • The first thing you will need to do is find the bolt pattern on your trailer wheels. From what I have found, you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern on your current wheels, but you will want to confirm this. The other thing you are going to need to do is check your clearance. It looks like this trailer has fenders that will need to be removed if you add a 12" tire because of the height difference. You will also want to make sure that you have at least 2" of clearance between the tire and frame...

  • 15 Wheel Upgrade For A 2020 Lance Travel Trailer Model 2375
  • The most common 15" camper wheel we see is a 5 on 4-1/2" pattern but if that is not your applicable bolt pattern, I would be happy to make a new recommendation. I like the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Lynx Aluminum Wheel # LHAW320. These Load range D tires have a speed rating of L with maximum speed at 75mph. Maximum load is 2,150 lbs at 65 psi. These come with a 5 year warranty on the tire and 1 year on the wheel. Included is a video resource and a listing of all our trailer...

  • Lift Kit that Fits 2021 Airstream Flying Cloud 27FB
  • From what I was able to determine from some research, the 2023 Airstream Globetrotter 27FB does have a #11 Torflex axle on it, so the Dexter # K71-724-02 is the correct lift kit for your trailer. This is a 2-7/8 inch lift kit.

  • Could Curt Adjustable Hitch 13703 Fit 2018 Airstream Flying Cloud Travel Trailer
  • The Curt adjustable RV hitch part # 13703 most likely does fit your Airstream Flying Cloud Travel Trailer as it fits all trailer frame styles that are between 22 and 72 inches apart. We don't have a way to verify your frame though so you'd have to check that out yourself.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for 1966 Airstream Safari-D With 2 Inch Coupler
  • There are definitely weight distribution hitches that have a 2" ball for your 2" coupler or in some cases you can swap out the ball. When choosing a WDH tongue weight is the most important factor. From what I have found, the 1966 Airstream Safari-D has a dry weight of 3,360 lbs with no GVWR listed. Tongue weight is typically 10-15% of your loaded trailer weight. I recommend finding your exact tongue weight using a scale like the # e99044. Based on the information available, you will...

  • Recommended Lift Kit for 1990 Airstream Excella Trailer
  • Based on my research, it does look like your Airstream Excella trailer is equipped with the Dexter Torflex axles. I do also recommend verifying this by contacting Airstream directly with your trailer's VIN to be sure of what was installed at the factory. Based on the 4,000 pound rating for your trailer axles, the correct Torflex Lift Kit should be the Dexter # K71-707-02. This lift kit is designed specifically for tandem #10 Torflex axles with 2,300 to 4,000 pound capacities. This will...

  • Weight Distribution System With Sway Control For 4,500lb Travel Trailer
  • For your 2007 Airstream Safari Travel Trailer, I would go with the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # C17499. This has a tongue weight range of 500-800lbs and max towing weight of 8,000lbs. Since your travel trailer has an approximate weight of 4,460lbs and tongue weight of roughly 650lbs, this hitch will handle it well. This setup includes the shank that fits into a 2" receiver hitch. Make sure that your towing vehicle has a receiver hitch capable of pulling this...

  • How To Carry Two Generators On an Airstream Trailer
  • I do have an option but the AirStream trailers don't use standard 4" x 4" bumpers so in order to use a cargo carrier you'd have to install a trailer hitch, I recommend the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs part # 13703. The 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier part # e98874 could then be used for two generators no problem such as the Champion Dual Fuel Inverter Generators w/ Parallel Kit - 7,000 Running Watts # CH49FR (place exhaust facing outward).

  • How to Pick Out Replacement Bearings for Trailer Hub
  • I really wish there was a way to determine what bearings a trailer needed without actually pulling the wheel off and checking, but there isn't. The only two solution I have for you would be to remove the hubs and get the numbers that are stamped on the bearing or for you to remove the hubs and use a digital or dial caliper to measure where the bearings and seal ride (see pic). With that info I can help you figure out what you need.

  • Recommended Lug Nuts for Aluminum Wheels on 2012 Classic Limited Trailer
  • The correct size lug nut you need for your 2012 Classic Limited Trailer will depend on what type of wheel bolts you have on the trailer hubs. I recommend taking a few quick measurements on your existing lut nut and wheel bolt to verify the correct replacement. If your wheel bolts have a 1/2 inch diameter with 20 threads per inch, the Americana Wheel Lug Nut # AM90049 should work well. These longer lug nuts are usually needed with aluminum wheels that have a deeper middle section. I have...

  • Weight Distribution/Sway Control Recommendation for 2022 Airstream Basecamp 16X
  • I looked up the weights of your 2022 Airstream Basecamp 16X and based on what I found the best weight distribution system and sway control would be the Reese Strait Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and has the best sway control for preventing sway before it starts. For a 2 inch hitch ball you'd then want the part # A-90 and you'd be set.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For a 2019 Airstream Classic 33FB
  • The weight distribution system I recommend for a 2019 Airstream Classic 33FB is the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ64FR which is rated for up to 16,000 lbs. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System will perform better than the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part# BXW2000 and is more appropriately rated for the weight of your trailer. Please note, the Airstream Classic 33FB has an overslung coupler hence part # BXW2000 and not part # BXW2003. If you still...

  • Recommended Replacement for Black Atwood RV Propane Gas Detector 31013
  • The RV Propane Gas Detector part # RS64FR for white or part # RS44FR for black is what I recommend using to replace the the Atwood RV Propane Gas Detector part 31013 (Discontinued). The mounting plate for this new detector will cover up any holes you had for the previous so it will be a super clean install when finished. You'd just need to use some butt connector like part # DW05744-5 to attach the wires and you're good.

  • How To Access Rear Doors Of 2016 Mercedes Benz 3500 Sprinter Van While Using Cargo Carrier
  • It seems that you have an Airstream Sprinter that is built on the Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3500 chassis. You would need a hitch if you don't already have one. Here is one that we have a install video for # 75549. Then you can get the Kuat Pivot 2 # PVP20B and put the Walled Carpod # M2205-01-02 on it! This way you can get both doors open while you have cargo in the carrier. Unfortunately you will have to choose between hauling your gear or your bikes on the back your van. If you have a Kuat...

  • Recommended Tire Covers For Motorhome With 245/70R19.5 Tires
  • Since the 245/70R19.5 tires on your motorhome are 33" in diameter I recommend the Adco Ultra Tyre Gard RV Wheel Covers - Single Axle - 33" to 35" - Vinyl - Black - Qty 2 # 290-3971 which will fit your tires perfectly and will protect them from dirt, water, and harmful UV rays. The # 290-3971 is includes 2 covers so you will need to order a quantity of 2 since you are needing 4 covers. I included a video of the # 290-3971 for you to take a look at.
