Airstream Pottery Barn Special Edition FAQ

What are the dimensions of an Airstream Pottery Barn?

The Airstream Pottery Barn Special Edition comes in one 28-foot floor plan called the 28RB. This travel trailer measures:

• Exterior Length: 28 feet 2 inches
• Exterior Width: 8 feet 5.5 inches
• Exterior Height (with A/C): 9 feet 7 inches
• Interior Width: 8 feet 1 inch
• Interior Height (with A/C): 6 feet 7 inches

The 28RB is available in two bed configurations: queen bed or twin beds. Both configurations have the same exterior measurements. The twin bed option opens up the center aisle, creating a more spacious feel throughout the interior.

How many people does an Airstream Pottery Barn sleep?

The Pottery Barn Special Edition can sleep up to five people. Both floor plan options include:

• A queen bed (60" x 75") or twin beds (34" x 80") in the bedroom area
• A convertible dinette that transforms into additional sleeping space (42" x 74")

Both bedroom choices feature custom Pottery Barn bedding, including a Belgian Flax comforter, sheets, pillowcases, and decorative throw pillows. The oak hardwood dinette table raises and lowers to convert into extra sleeping space for guests.

What kind of vehicle do I need to tow an Airstream Pottery Barn?

To safely tow the Pottery Barn Special Edition, you'll need a vehicle with appropriate towing capacity. Here are the key weights to know:

• Unit Base Weight: 6,825 pounds (with LP and batteries)
• Hitch Weight: 925 pounds
• GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): 7,600 pounds

Your tow vehicle should have a towing capacity that exceeds the GVWR of 7,600 pounds. Most mid-size and full-size trucks, SUVs, and some larger crossovers can handle this weight. Look for vehicles with a towing capacity of at least 8,000 pounds or more for safe operation.

You'll also need a weight distribution hitch system for proper towing. Check your vehicle's owner's manual for its specific towing capacity and requirements. When in doubt, consult with the team at Airstream of New Hampshire to help match your vehicle to this travel trailer.

What is the learning curve for owning an Airstream Pottery Barn?

The good news is that the learning curve for owning an Airstream Pottery Barn is manageable, even for first-time RV owners. While there's certainly information to learn, most new owners become comfortable within their first few trips.

When you purchase from Airstream of New Hampshire, you'll receive a thorough delivery walkthrough covering all the systems and features. We recommend taking your first trip to a campground within a two or three-hour radius of home. This lets you learn your trailer in a comfortable setting without the pressure of a long journey.

Key things to learn include:

• Setting up and leveling your trailer
• Connecting utilities (electric, water, and sewer)
• Understanding the power system and battery monitoring
• Operating the Smart Control Technology app
• Basic maintenance like checking sealants and tire pressure
• Winterization and de-winterization procedures

The Pottery Barn Special Edition includes features that make RV life easier, like powered stabilizer jacks, a powered awning, and Airstream Smart Control Technology that lets you monitor and control features from your smartphone. These modern touches reduce the learning curve compared to older RV models.

Airstream provides extensive online resources through Airstream Academy, with videos, articles, and FAQs covering common topics. Plus, every new Airstream includes three years of Coach-Net 24/7 roadside assistance, so help is always just a phone call away.

Most owners say that while the first trip involves some learning, by the second or third outing, everything starts to feel natural. The key is to be patient with yourself and remember that every Airstreamer started exactly where you are now.

Does owning an Airstream Pottery Barn make sense living in New Hampshire?

Absolutely! New Hampshire is an excellent state for Airstream ownership, and the Pottery Barn Special Edition is particularly well-suited for New England camping.

Camping Seasons: New Hampshire offers three strong camping seasons. Spring through fall provides comfortable weather for RV camping, with summers offering warm temperatures perfect for exploring the state's lakes and beaches. Fall camping in New Hampshire is especially beautiful, with stunning foliage displays throughout the White Mountains and Lake District. Many campgrounds in New Hampshire stay open year-round, and the Pottery Barn's features make it suitable for cooler weather camping.

Outdoor Activities: The state is home to 48 mountains, over 100 waterfalls, and more than 4,000 miles of hiking trails. The Pottery Barn's 28-foot length is ideal for navigating New Hampshire's campgrounds and state parks.

Equipment Features: The Pottery Barn Special Edition comes standard with three solar panels and lithium batteries, allowing you to camp off-grid in New Hampshire's more remote locations. The 30,000 BTU ducted furnace and dual air conditioning with heat pump keep you comfortable in changing New England weather. The enclosed, insulated, heated underbelly provides protection during spring and fall camping when temperatures can drop at night.

Local Convenience: With Airstream of New Hampshire located right in Nashua, you have local service and support whenever you need it. This makes maintenance, repairs, and upgrades convenient throughout your ownership.

Storage Considerations: Keep in mind that New Hampshire winters can be harsh, so you'll want to winterize your trailer or find indoor storage during the coldest months if you're not using it. Many Airstream owners in the region either store their trailers at dedicated facilities or keep them covered at home.

The Pottery Barn Special Edition's build quality, including its riveted aluminum shell and quality insulation, makes it well-suited for New England's variable climate. From summer weekend getaways to autumn foliage tours, this Airstream is built for New Hampshire adventures.
