![]() Patrick’s consistently excellent Airstream walk-thrus and “first looks” have helped Colonial’s channel grow to nearly 40K subscribers. Their channel is an absolute favorite for current and future Airstream owners and fans around the globe. He is also the driving force behind Colonial’s incredibly popular YouTube channel. Patrick Botticelli is a master certified Airstream salesman who has been with Colonial Airstream (America’s #1 Volume Airstream Dealer) since 1997. Thankfully, we share a local coffee shop with an Airstream superstar. When Stephanie heard about the rebirth of the Airstream Bambi and Caravel she knew that she wanted to invite an expert onto the podcast to tell us more. Patrick Botticelli and Colonial Airstream The Caravel versions are all 12K more than their Bambi brothers. The Difference in pricing between standard matching floorplans in the Bambi and Caravel lines is easy to understand. The Bambi 16RB starts at $48,900 and the Caravel 16RB starts at $60,900. The 16RB Bambi has a regular rectangular rear window, while the 16RB Caravel has a stunning panoramic rear window. These features include the Quietstream ducted air conditioning system, electric hitch jack, and heavy duty rock guards in the front. The major difference between the Bambi and the Caravel is that for 12K more the Caravel offers about 100 additional features. These two brands now both offer four repeating floorplans (the 16RB, 19CB, 20FB, and 22FB). The Caravel name reemerged once or twice (with a slightly different spelling), but had largely disappeared in recent years. In recent years it has been used as a nickname for any single axle Airstream. The Bambi name has a somewhat complicated history. Both were originally launched back in the early 1960s. Just a few weeks ago, the Ohio based manufacturer announced the reintroduction of the iconic Bambi and Caravel nameplates. The Airstream name is iconic and evokes a spirit of freedom, adventure, and the open roads of the American West. What RV owner hasn’t dreamed about buying an Airstream? We both have.
