Select Highlights of Airstream’s 2025 Model Year Improvements
2025 Trade Wind® 23FB
The Trade Wind line debuted in September 2023 with a supremely off-grid-capable 25-foot model that enabled travellers to adventure farther and stay longer without the traditional hookups offered in campgrounds. Like the original 25-foot model, the all-new Trade Wind 23FB is equipped with three chassis-integrated 270Ah heated Battle Born® lithium batteries that form an 810Ah battery bank, providing four times greater capacity over most MY25 Airstream travel trailer models. The Trade Wind 23FB also has a 3000w inverter and charger system that can simultaneously power the convection microwave and 13,500 BTU air conditioner. Additionally, the new model is designed with a 500w solar input, monitored by an app-compatible Victron® display, that extends energy harvesting capacity above most other comparable travel trailer models. Furthering off-grid capabilities, Trade Wind 23FB comes standard with Goodyear® Wrangler® Workhorse® tires, a 3-inch lift kit, a tankless, on-demand recirculating LP water heater, and an optional composting toilet.
At an exterior length of 23-feet, 11-inches, the Trade Wind 23FB floor plan provides flexible living options and sleeping capacity for up to four people. Individuals can choose a Queen or Twin master bed configuration with a convertible dinette that adds an additional 20-square feet of sleeping space. The travel trailer has a base weight of 5,650 pounds and a 6,300-pound maximum trailer capacity. Trade Wind 23FB will be offered in two décor packages with pricing starting at $120,900 MSRP.
2025 Classic
Airstream’s top-of-the-line travel trailers receive several technological updates in 2025. The Classic™ 30RB and 33FB floor plans are now equipped with MyAirstream™, a new connected vehicle platform that builds on Airstream’s Smart Control system (found in Airstream Classics manufactured before Model Year 2025, as well as Pottery Barn Special Edition units). MyAirstream™ has control and monitoring functions along with tools to inspire and enhance the travel experience. The MyAirstream™ platform builds on Airstream’s popular Smart Control system, and employs location services, a mobile app, and a partnership with Roadpass Digital to help Classic owners locate and explore 40,000 camping-focused points of interest, including public and private campgrounds, dump stations, and RV-friendly overnight parking. The system also locates favourite or nearby Airstream dealers and offers access to model-specific support and maintenance articles. The new app maintains the Smart Control’s system’s monitoring and control function, allowing owners to monitor items such as the trailer’s location to tank levels and operate A/C, lighting, and other functions while inside or away from the unit via a built-in cellular modem. Additionally, the onboard display panel features diagnostic analysis capabilities to not only view firmware status but troubleshoot and provide service support for each smart component on board. MyAirstream™ is powered by THOR Connected Services (Airstream is an operating company of THOR Industries, Inc.).
Additionally, the Classic 33RB will now come standard with a premium Klipsch Audio System – including a Klipsch stereo, four speakers, and a soundbar – creating an incredible high-end audio experience in Airstream’s flagship travel trailer. The industry-leading audio system boasts Bluetooth streaming capability and home theatre functionality, soundtracking owner adventures with the iconic sound quality synonymous with Klipsch.
The Classic line also receives a new ABS & Sway Mitigation System that gives you even more situational awareness while towing. The Dexter Tow Assist™ Powered by Bosch® system helps reduce sway and gives drivers additional confidence while towing. A side-mounted indicator light alerts drivers when the system is encountering abnormalities, and the anti-lock braking system improves driveability and stopping power.
2025 Bambi® and 2025 Caravel®
Elsewhere in the Airstream® travel trailer lineup, the most notable changes come in the Bambi® and Caravel® lines. In both model lines, the 19CB floor plan will be retired to focus on other popular layouts. The 22FB floor plans will see full-height wood panels added to replace current plexiglass dividers between the kitchen and primary bedroom, and the 16RB floor plans will be redesigned two inches longer for greater curbside and roadside galley clearance.
Additional updates in both the Bambi and Caravel 16RB floor plans include new General Electric® air conditioning units and fresh water tanks relocating below flooring, while the electrical centre moves under roadside dinette seating to optimize under-bed storage capacity.
Rounding out further updates, the Caravel line receives a modern decor refresh with new Pebble and Driftwood decor packages, with new laminates, flooring, soft goods, and material selections. The Bambi line will be upgraded with a 12-volt Smart TV with HDMI hookup.
