Ryan was a great host with the "Silver Bear!" Loved traveling and staying in the trailer on a father & 2 sons weekend trip. We dug it so much, we extended our trip a few days :) The Airstream Basecamp 20X is a great small travel trailer for those who like to have a more of a camping feel in their RVing. Would definitely recommend renting from Ryan! He was a super gracious and helpful host the whole time, throughout the entire process!

Ryan’s airstream is in pristine condition.
We benefitted from being able to have drop off and pick up as well.
Ryan communicated clearly and was great to interact with in general.
Highly recommend renting from him!

Great trip. Wonderful vehicle. A few small mechanical issues - some out fault (like losing the sewer tube cap and hose) and a challenging hitch hookup. Some items not our fault - two cabinet doors fell off and one day the entire contents of our fridge, including 12 eggs, ended up on the floor because the fridge lock didn’t stay locked. But, all in all, great trip and Airstream and we’d rent again!

The host, Ryan, is super responsive, patient and has rigged the Basecamp with all the goodies you need. Smooth and easy experience.

We had so much fun using this Basecamp for a few days up the coast! We were able to take our 12-week old baby on his first camping trip because we could crank up the heater and be real cozy at night. It was fun cooking in the little kitchen, having a bathroom and shower right there, and just getting out in beautiful nature. Ryan takes impeccable care of the Silver Bear and of all the details needed for sharing his Airstream with others. It’s soooooo clean and has everything you need. He’s a great host and so very kind. The Basecamp also towed like a dream! Thanks, Ryan.

This trailer is loaded with features and smart design. Our family of 4 slept comfortably as it turned a propane canister into warm nights, running hot water and hot meals. The rooftop solar never let the batteries discharge more than about 10%.

We have rented multiple Airstreams, and this was THE BEST! Ryan was awesome and the Basecamp 20X was a dream. Much easier to pull and maneuver than other Airstreams. We slept 2 adults and 2 kids comfortably.

Ryan was detailed in his orientation and very helpful making sure our tow vehicle was set up correctly to tow his trailer. Everything was extremely clean & well organized. Ryan response time was excellent as well.

Ryan was great to work with and the 20 Basecamp is the way to go. Just a little more room than the 16 makes a difference. Great experience.

This BaseCamp 20X was perfect for our recent road trip to Oregon. It's small, yet roomy, and is outfitted perfectly. Ryan was an excellent host, answering any questions we had within 5 minutes. Highly recommended!

We were newbies trying a trailer for the first time. We “camped” at the Marina Dunes RV Park for a few days. The experience was great!

Awesome experience renting this trailer. Ryan communicated everything very clearly and did a thorough walkthrough explaining all the features. The trailer is wonderful and well-stocked for your adventure!

Fun first time trip in an RV. Ryan was a great host - gave extremely useful lowdown on the trailer and he has stocked the SilverBear with every thoughtful piece of equipment we needed. We didn’t tow the trailer ourselves so it was extremely helpful to have Ryan drop off and pick up for us. Thanks!
