This Airstream camper van has powered loft bed to sleep four people without the pop-up roof

Airstream was waiting for the right time to surprise us after the launch of its Rangeline 21 Premier Suite. The single floorplan of the Rangeline 21PS tailored for solo travelers now gets an upgrade, for those who love to travel as a family, in the new Airstream Rangeline 21PL Touring Coach. Just like the predecessor, this one is also a Class B motorhome based on a Ram ProMaster 3500 high-roof extended chassis, but now comes with a powered lift bed that lowers to sleep up to two passengers, in addition to a couple on the convertible bed below, and raises flush against the ceiling when not in use during the day.

The Rangeline 21PL or Rangeline 21 Premier Loft is not just for sleeping comfortably on a family trip, the camper van can be customized to haul gear. More on the conversion possibilities below. Anyhow, the greater sleeping capacity is, however, the most exciting thing about the new Airstream launch, which rides on an updated suspension now. This ensures the Airstream can ride some rough terrain to the destination of your next extended vacation.

Designer: Airstream

The Rangeline 21PL measures 20 feet 11 inches long and has a standing height inside. The interior is 9.5 feet with the air conditioning unit on top. It has a gross weight of 9350 lbs., and a payload capacity of 1290 lbs. Right up front, in the cabin, the motorhome features driver and passenger seats that can swivel all the way to form a cozy seating with an extending dinette table attached to the galley kitchen.

The kitchen comprises a cooktop and sink, while the wet bath with a macerating toilet lies just opposite. Alongside the bathroom is a small fridge and freezer combo and a nicely placed microwave. Things actually get interesting in the rear of the motorhome. Here, you get a lounge area that converts to sleeping space for up to four people.

The seating area features an Airstream’s Smartbench, which sits on a L-track floor, alongside a fixed storage bench. Together, these convert into a lower bed, while a power lift loft bed lowers from the ceiling to create additional bedding. The seating convertible sleeping space measures 74×53 inches, and the ceiling bed forms a 74×57 inches bed. This bed comes with a 4-inch memory foam mattress and also has safety nets on both sides.

The Smartbench on the integrated L-track floor can slide back and forth to create boot space inside the rear hatch that features MOLLE panels on both doors. If you want more storage space for sports gear and hunting equipment, you can remove the Smartbench and loft bed to create space. The interior of the Rangeline 21PL Touring Coach features two skylights, and it starts at $173,400.

For that amount, in addition to the mentioned features, you get an off-grid-ready Airstream with a 3.5-kWh lithium battery onboard. It is connected to a 200W solar panel and also features a 3,000W inverter and a 2.8kW generator, which uses fuel from the Rangeline 21PL’s own gasoline tank. The Airstream motorhome is available in granite crystal metallic and bright silver metallic colors with a side-mounted 13-foot manual crank-out awning featuring built-in LEDs for light time fun.

Airstream Atlas 25RT redefines the classic two-person motorhome

Airstream is synonymous with quality. And when that quality meets Mercedes-Benz performance and substance, you get an interesting, adventure-ready motorhome called the Atlas 25RT. From how Airstream puts it – and the photos suggest – this is a luxury-packed touring coach with sophisticated interiors that you would want for a comfortable adventure, whether it’s for a night out or an extended weekend under the stars.

Within the spacious confines of the Airstream Atlas 25RT, you have a convenient layout that supports living, cooking, cleaning, and resting with equal ease. While the space outside, whether under the awning (add-on) or the cavity in the body comprising a pass-through garage, you have ample opportunity to carry gear and live a life outside of the coach.

Designer: Airstream

Atlas 25RT has a sleek, not the most symbolic of an Airstream, but pretty refined in Merc style, while the interior is refined and configured with “best in-class craftsmanship,” the company’s website notes. The interior is nicely configured with a functional living space, a spacious sleeping area furnished with a twin bed, and a separate toilet and wet bath, all designed to elevate living within the Class B+ motorhome.

The Atlas 25RT measures 25 feet in length and has two driver and passenger seats. The facility is designed to sleep two people only and Airstream has chosen to provide the motorhome in a solitary floor plan only. And this is a straightforward but efficient floor plan. You enter first into the galley that is provided with storage cabinetry and upscale to modern luxury requirements. Amber Ridge Décor adds warmth, and the use of palette and premium materials elevates the interior.

The craftsmanship here is notable, especially the way the seating and kitchen spaces are designed. For instance, the induction cooktop can be stored in a drawer when not in use to clear up the surface for maybe working or chit-chatting with a partner over a glass of wine. Interesting sight here is a Garmin multiplex system, which is a central system to control lighting, climate, and other functions of the travel coach. For the audiophiles, Airstream is providing a JBL stereo combined with four speakers and a subwoofer onboard.

Another interesting part of the Atlas 25RT is the split dry bath. Located between the galley and the bedroom is the space divided into two sections, comprising a shower space and a separate toilet and sink. A standing refrigerator resides next to the shower room. At the rear end of the coach is the twin bed layout with thoughtful storage planned in between the beds and beneath them.

If you want to spend a few days in the wilderness with the Airstream Atlas 25RT, you can beef it up with optional 400W rooftop solar panels. The motorhome is pre-wired to take it from there. For the more outdoorsy, Airstream provides a pass-through garage that can be handy for stowing your adventure gear or sporting equipment without much hassle. Atlas 25RT is available at a starting price of $290,000.
