2020 Airstream Globetrotter
BOONDOCKING + BACKCOUNTRY AIRSTREAM w/ $25k in UPGRADES
This 2020 Globetrotter has been extensively upgraded for off-grid luxury living. Working with Airstream Nuts and Bolts team, we added every upgrade available (and a few that aren’t) to build a rig that is capable of more than any Airstream you can buy off the lot. With 10kwh of Battle Born batteries, a full Victron system, and 1200watts of solar, you can easily pull into a state park, Harvest Host or wilderness area and never worry about finding hookups. If you want to escape the RV park, stay connected working as a digital nomad, or just want the luxury of exploring without worrying about tight reservation windows and overpriced and overcrowded hookup sites, then this is the rig.

CUSTOM UPGRADES – POWER SYSTEM
This system has enough battery and solar to live off grid comfortably full time. We personally lived 3mths off grid running Starlink 24/7 plus AC + running appliances and charging devices and never ran out of power. The solar reliably produces between 2-3.5kwh / day and combined with DC to DC charging and a generator as back up, we never worry about power or connectivity. The Cerbo Touch control system is both simple to use and powerful. You also have the Victron web-based control center which you can remotely monitor when Starlink is running.

We love our rig, we have invested hundreds of hours into her, and we hate to see her go. We are happy to answer questions by email or phone for serious inquiries and will arrange in-person or FaceTime walk throughs for serious parties. Please reach out if you have any questions.
If you want to see what a rig like ours is capable of, go check out Marc and Trish over at KYD and the walk through of their Globetrotter that they had modified by Ronnie at Airstream Nuts and Bolts.
