Paved roads, gravel roads, or no road at all: No matter where your wheels roll, the Airstream Interstate 19X Touring Coach is a versatile, off-grid capable adventure van.

Built on the powerful Mercedes-Benz® Sprinter van chassis and inspired by its larger Airstream Interstate 24X cousin, the Interstate 19X delivers exceptional off-grid capability in a highly maneuverable, 19-foot package. A testament to Airstream's commitment to innovation, this luxurious adventure van is not just a recreational vehicle – it's an invitation to redefine your adventure. If you’re craving an overlanding experience with all the luxurious comforts of home, dive into the features that make our nimble Interstate 19X the ultimate adventure van for getting farther afield.

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van Advantage
Power and Performance

At the core of this powerful and maneuverable camper van is the 19-foot Mercedes-Benz® Sprinter van 2500 chassis – setting the stage for a vehicle that effortlessly transitions from city streets to remote campsites. With a robust turbocharged diesel engine, there’s power aplenty for both urban landscapes and the untamed wilderness.

Standout among the 19X's standard features is All-Wheel Drive (AWD) capability, allowing adventurers to conquer challenging terrains. AWD offers excellent traction in a variety of situations, letting you get closer than ever to the action – and it comes standard, rather than as an optional upgrade. The combination of off-pavement capability and a shorter wheelbase makes navigating unpaved roads an exhilarating experience, with all the power, performance, and traction needed for the ultimate adventure.

Tough Exterior, Stylish Design

A Redesigned Bed System in Model Year 2025

New for Model Year 2025, the Interstate 19X (as well as the 24-foot Interstate 24X) gets an upgraded bed system. Featuring a sliding rack mechanism that quickly converts the rear benches into a spacious bed, this newly redesigned bed conversion system makes it easier than ever to set up your sleeping space. And when it's time to pack up, quickly convert your bed back to benches and open up plenty of storage space in the center aisle.

This improved bed offers three different configurations to help you tailor your living space for your travel needs. Set up with two benches (or two twin beds), one bench plus a larger sleeping area (35"x74") on the other side, or one large 70"x74" bed. Note that dimensions listed are for Interstate 19X.

Smart Storage Solutions

Big adventures demand ample storage, and Interstate 19X delivers clever space utilization throughout the interior. Bring along everything you need – from fishing tackle and climbing gear to bikes or even a smaller kayak. Soft-close drawers and positive locking components keep smaller belongings secure during transit. At the same time, the flexible rear storage area features an integrated L-track system for securing bikes, paddleboards, and camping gear. Quickly position D-ring tiedown points to create the perfect setup tailored to your gear collection or add Airstream's custom L-track bike mount (only available at our official store, Airstream Supply Company) to bring along your bikes.

Comfort Away from Home

After a day of outdoor adventures, return to the comfort and luxury of the Interstate 19X. A space-saving wet bath and fully equipped galley deliver homelike comfort, while the convertible sleeping/living/dining area offers a spacious area to rest at night. The dark grey marine-grade Simtex-carbon seating, complemented by red accents, and the cool oak laminates on the furniture strike a balance between rugged style and sophistication.

When it comes to comfort, an onboard water heater and water pump provide hot or cold running water at the galley sink and in the wet bath. Enjoy a warm shower and the convenience of a flushing toilet after a day of adventuring, ensuring you can recharge for whatever tomorrow brings.

Cassette Toilet vs. Onboard Wet Bath

Unlike other adventure vans on the market with cassette toilets that must be removed and emptied by hand, the Interstate 19X features a wet bath, flushing toilet, and waste tank that simplify the essential task of waste disposal. This easy-to-use, home-like comfort combines with a waste macerator and pumping system that add even more built-in simplicity. Instead of carrying a messy, heavy cassette to a dump station and emptying it by hand, the Interstate 19X's waste system allows you to dispose of waste with ease – and with less mess.

Optional
E1 Package

For those craving even more power and performance, the optional E1 Package upgrade takes the Interstate 19X to new heights. Anchored by a 12,000 Watt-hour lithium battery pack and a 3,200-watt pure sine wave inverter, this upgrade untethers you from traditional campsite hookups. With features like a Diesel Heating & Hot Water System, 1,000-Watt Single Burner Induction Cook Top, and a Solar Charge Controller, the E1 Package enables longer boondocking trips and the freedom to explore off-grid like never before.
