This 2020 22FB Bambi has been lovingly maintained. What sets this trailer apart is over $20k of upgrades. The most important upgrade is the Lithium, Solar, and Inverter upgrades, which were professionally installed by AM Solar in Oregon, one of the best shops in the country for this kind of work. If you’re new to Airstream, you may not know that the factory electrical systems are not as suitable for camping off grid (aka, “boondocking”). These newer Bambis have electric-only refrigerators, which run the lead acid batteries down quickly. They also do not come with inverters from the factory, which means you can only operate 12 volt devices when you’re not plugged into shore power.

So that’s why we had this trailer upgraded with 200 amp hours of Battleborn lithium batteries and 270 watts of solar panels. We also added an inverter, which allows you to use the 120 volt outlets while you’re off grid. We had AM solar install the batteries in such a way that adding additional batteries in the future will be very easy, if desired.

We’ve also installed a top-of-the-line electric tongue jack (these trailers come with manual jacks), front rock guards (road debris could dent your trailer), a rear bumper with storage (great for storing sewer drain parts, and protects the back of the trailer), a tire pressure monitoring system, an upgraded kitchen sink faucet, a SmartPlug shore power connector and cable (way easier to connect), an Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch system, and fantastic fan vent covers (so you can open the hatches while its raining). It also comes with a transferrable extended warranty (around 3 ½ years left on it).

We were expecting to have this trailer forever, which is why we put so much money into the upgrades. But we’ve decided to purchase a bigger Airstream. So save yourself time and money, and buy a trailer that’s been fully upgraded and ready for any adventure!

We purchased this trailer new in May 2020 from Airstream Adventures (Seattle), and we have the title in hand. This trailer was built before the surge in demand brought about by COVID, which caused many RV manufacturers to rush the build process.
