My '19 Yukon and 24' Airstream (5000#) with Hensley Arrow hitch.

Full tow package on Yukon. Tows like a dream. On highways full of big rigs i can drive with one finger it is so rock steady. I've had lots of tow rigs but none as sweet as this. The $3,000 hitch is worth every Penny.

Prob bout the only thing I'll be towing with my Yukon. Might upgrade to a hard side in the coming years when the kids get older..but for now this little 2700lb darling is perfect for us, Actually about to take both on their first camping trip this week. so I'll be excited to finally use the Yukon for the reason I bought it for...*Edit: Didnt realize this was the 15-20 thread. I'm in the wrong year group lol*

Nice! We'll eventually get an Airstream, too. We're looking at the International 30RBQ, and would be fine with a pre-covid used one. Gross on those is 8,800 lbs, so we bought our tow vehicle first - a 2018 Suburban 3500HD. It has 4:10 gears and tows our 7500 lb Alpha Wolf like a dream. Our son is 17 and he'll be off to college soon, so his days of camping with us are winding down. Our daughter is 14, so she'll be fine sleeping on the lounge bed for a few years but she only comes with us a few times a year now, as it is. Long story short, hopefully by this time next year we'll be in the market. God willing and the creek don't rise, that is.

Oh, that's spectacular! Our first AS was a 25 and I really loved it for two people. We have no kids. This go 'round wife wanted a smaller trailer so we got a 23. But, having made a few trips, i believe we will be moving back to a larger trailer soon. I'm hoping to find a nice 28.

28 is a really nice size also. The main reason my wife wants the 30 is because of the slide out pantry. Lol.

Are you happy with the overall living space and storage in your airstream? Do you do any Boondocking with it?What do you like most about it?
