Join Gabby from RVs with Gabby for a first-look tour of an innovative new Airstream, the 2024 Airstream Rangeline with the pop top option.
Built on a Ram ProMaster® chassis, the Rangeline provides a lower-priced, gas-powered alternative to Airstream’s Mercedes-Benz® Sprinter van Class B’s.
Upon walking inside, two shoe cubbies invite you to remove your footwear (which does help cut down on dirt).
I like the way the table extends, contracts, and swivels so that you can adjust it to meet your needs at any given time.
The kitchen features an induction cooktop that stores away in a drawer when not in use. There’s also a simple microwave and a small fridge/freezer. A single stainless steel sink with an adjustable faucet is just big enough to be functional. I like the built-in cubbies for spices and other kitchen essentials.
A Bluetooth JBL speaker hangs above the kitchen, but an extra nice feature is the fact that you can remove the wireless speaker and take it outside with you.
Another one of the nice features, in my opinion, is the traditional RV toilet and black water tank in this rig. If you prefer this type of toilet to the cassette toilets found in most of these Class B motorhomes, the Airstream Rangeline is a good option. So, no taking the cassette out to dump.
Also unique is the fact that there is no propane whatsoever on board, so you will never run out of propane as everything runs off the electrical system and solar.
Of course, most unique of all is the rig’s pop-up top that provides additional sleeping space. It’s nice that they included charging ports up top so you can keep your phone or tablet with you. The drawer that doubles as a step to help you get into bed is another bit of brilliant innovation.
There’s another large fold-down bed in the back of the rig that will comfortably fit someone up to 6’6”.
A small but functional wet bath rounds out the rig.
More nice features of the 2024 Airstream Rangeline
- Heated tanks
- 2,000-watt pure sine wave inverter
- 2,800-watt Cummins gas-fueled generator
- 200 watts solar
- Gear tie-downs in the back of the van
- Comfortable high-end leather seating throughout
- Built-in pet bowl drawer
What’s not to like?
I am nitpicking, but an automatic, as opposed to manual, awning would have been nice. On the plus side, however, it does cover almost the entire side of the motorhome.
A convection microwave would have added far more functionality than the simple microwave that comes in the Rangeline. For an RV this expensive, I don’t think that’s asking too much, is it?
I also question why the kitchen drawers are two different colors. In my opinion, it breaks up the space and makes it look smaller.

Almost a $150 grand? It is a nice looking rig but it is still too much money for a van.
Price is relative. 150K is in line with and less expensive than many other Class Bs.
You can get “a van” for under $50K. This is not just “a van”. It’s a motorhome built out by Airstream. (Add a least $10K for the Airstream name on the side.) You obviously haven’t shopped the Class B market lately. This is not unusual. The Winnebago Travato G model is similar. It’s MSRP is over $175K. Take a look at the all lithium Winnebago Travato Class B for example. MSRP of over $200K. Of course only a fool would pay MSRP. 25-30% discounts are common on W products. No idea about Airstream discounts, but still, this price is competitive.
No more than what was shown that is way to much money, don’t like the way the waste tank plumbing hangs down in front of the rear tire, to much chance of a rock being thrown into it. Engineers not asking “What ifs”, shows they never drive what they design. I think she said a 5 gal.black tank, might as well have the cassette toilet.
12 gallon black tank, pretty normal size for a Class B.
Love the idea of a manual awning! The automatic Carefree awnings of late have been anything but Carefree! One recall after another for unexpected deployments and then coach battery drains after the recall. Pathetic.
Good to know!
