Our family is selling our 2020 International Serenity 27 FB Twin with Rear Hatch, aka the Silver Squid. It has taken one lap across the country. We are the only owners. We live in Alaska, on an island, and have decided the Squid requires, by its the open road. It is a hard decision for our family, but the right one. We will miss the Squid, but are looking on to passing her on to the next owners. What follows is a transparent and honest account of the Squid. We drove it off the lot new in Nashua, New Hampshire, and immediately had issues with the propane/electric refrigerator, and the rear hatch closing properly. The folks on Airstream Forum proved correct – oftentimes these new units have quirks. So we drove to the Airstream factory in Ohio, stayed overnight, and they fixed everything, ensuring a firm seal on the hatch, and getting the fridge working. When the converter had issues, we took it to Airstream, and they upgraded it. The warranty rocks. It is good for three years, and it is transferable. We bought the Airstream in July 2020. As we crossed the country, we grew to love the Solar Package – two 90-amp Zamp panels that kept the batteries nice and charged. We never had a problem running out of juice, even with extensive boondocking. Buying peaches in Alabama, backing the unit out of the parking lot, I jacknifed our GMC 2500 into the front protector, so there still exists scuffage there. We continued on west. Along with the solar panels, the Airstream has the coveted rear hatch, and we used it to great advantage in Texas, and all throughout the southwest. It is totally magical, pulling up on sand beaches and opening this rear hatch. The table in the back also comes out, allowing you to put in kayaks or gear – though we never truly took advantage of this opportunity (I’ve seen the photos). The Airstream has powered ZipDee awning that is so darn cool, memory foam mattresses and pillows, a convection oven that also functions as a microwave, and a JBL sound system with Bluetooth. All this stood us in good stead in Idaho and Montana. As the temperature cooled, we left the Quietstream climate control with ducted air conditioning for the heat pump, which heats the space quickly. The espresso Ultraleather seating is almost impossible to scuff. In Yellowstone, we depended on the rearview monitoring system with a screen to see if we missed any wildlife. We ended up using the system not only for backin up, but also on the highway to see what was behind us. It syncs easily to your TV – which should be pulling at least 8500 pounds. The windows are panoramic, offering beautiful views when parked, and there are shades everywhere – super important for us Alaskans come summer! The LG LED HDTV has surround sound and a Blu-Ray™ DVD player. There is a JBL stereo with Bluetooth that is really too loud for the Airstream – it pumps bass. There are USB hookups in the stereo, and also for the twin bunks. The Fantastic© Fan has a built-in thermostat and automatic rain sensor that puts it down when the rain starts – automatically. There are Corian countertops, a Grohe faucet, and a three-burner cooktop – this trailer is set. The Airstream comes with an anti-sway hitch with trunnion bars, and a new front jack. By the time we reached Seattle, we decided that we needed a Honda EU2200i generator, which allowed us to plug in wherever we were. In addition we purchased four Andersen camping leveling chalks that make getting level a cinch. The unit also comes with a stainless steel grill that hooks directly into the propane valve on the unit. The interior includes two wool Pendleton blankets, satin comforters, All-Clad cookware, fitted linens, toaster, coffee grinder, utensils. It is fully war-ready for the road, down to toolbag filled with anything you might need, from the Dewalt impact drill with a 3/4 bit used to put down the spider feet on the Airstream, to the hoses and electric cords and converters. For more info on the AS systems you can see everything here: https://www.airstream.com/travel-trailers/international/features/ In the interest of full disclosure, the Airstream is missing one step – this happened in Idaho, and one crimp on the back window – along with the scuff/dent on the front bodyguard. You wouldn’t see them unless you were looking. The hinge on the cabinet beneath the sink sometimes needs tweaking. We sincerely hope that the Squid goes to the right buyer, and continues to write many chapters in what promises to be a long life on the road. Please do reach out with any questions.
