The Ultimate Guide

To Choosing a Class B Motorhome for Your Travel Style

Built with Airstream’s hand-crafted quality, smart use of space, and proven power and performance, Airstream touring coaches are ready the moment you settle into the driver’s seat. Press the ignition, grip the wheel, and see where the road takes you. Enjoy plush seating, intuitive touchscreen controls, and the confidence that comes from industry‑leading safety features—all working together to make every mile effortless.

In an Airstream touring coach, the journey is as rewarding as the destination. From the go-anywhere Interstate 19X and the spacious Atlas 25RT, to the nine‑passenger Interstate 24GL and the family-friendly Rangeline, each model brings the comforts of home—bed, bath, kitchen, and living space—along with its own design personality, floor plans, and features tailored to different travel styles. 

Read on to discover why Airstream touring coaches are the best Class B motorhome investment, and what makes each model uniquely suited for your adventures.

Defining RV Types

There are many types of recreational vehicles on the market, but they generally fall into two main categories: travel trailers and motorhomes. Motorized RVs are further divided into classes based on their size and overall layout.

Class A motorhomes are the largest (think musician’s tour bus), while Class C models are smaller and recognizable by the bed over the cockpit. Sitting comfortably between the two are Class B motorhomes—like Airstream’s touring coaches—big enough to offer the amenities of home yet nimble enough to maneuver with ease.

Motorized RVs go by many names, but we prefer touring coach because owners consistently tell us they enjoy the drive just as much as the destination. With features like a bathroom, shower, kitchen space, flat‑screen TVs, flexible tables, generous overhead storage, and some of the most comfortable sleeping arrangements in the Class B category, your touring coach comes fully equipped for adventure. And behind the wheel, it delivers one of the most enjoyable and confidence‑inspiring driving experiences on the road today.

Features That Allow Ease of Travel

Our motorized coaches come equipped with thoughtful features that make travel and setup effortless, giving you more time to enjoy the leisure and adventure you’re after. Many essential RV tasks are automated, reducing setup time, minimizing potential messes, and letting you focus on relaxing, recharging, and planning the next stretch of your journey.

RV travel is deeply rewarding, thanks in part to the self‑sufficiency it offers—but it also comes with a few less‑glamorous responsibilities, like managing waste. Airstream touring coaches built on the Mercedes‑Benz® Sprinter chassis and on the RAM ProMaster® 3500 chassis, help streamline these tasks with features such as an automatically retracting sewer hose, reducing the time and effort involved. A macerator pump—rather than a standard gravity system—further simplifies the process, ensuring smooth, efficient waste removal so you can get back to enjoying the road.

Touring Coach Features Owners Love

Across the line, versatile features make our touring coaches the best travel experience you can have behind the wheel.

• No Hitching/Unhitching: Simply climb in the driver’s seat and go. 

• “Just‑Right” Size: At 25 feet (Atlas 25MS, Atlas 25RT) and 24 feet (Interstate 24GT, 24GTX, 24GL, 24GLX, 24X), 21 feet (Rangeline), and 19 feet (Interstate 19GT, 19GTX, 19X, and 19X LE Outland), Airstream touring coaches are spacious enough for everything you need—yet still drive with the responsiveness of your everyday vehicle.

• Maneuverability: Whether you’re stopping for fuel or picking up groceries and supplies for your trip, you can easily maneuver through parking lots, busy shopping centers, and rest areas. 

• Versatility: Many owners find that camping at state and national parks is just one part of the experience. From loading up the kids (or grandkids) for an ice cream birthday trip, to hosting a class reunion in wine country or tailgating the big game. Touring Coach owners find many ways to make the most of their vehicle.

• Tow Capacity: With a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds, you can bring along the toys. Some owners even get the best of both worlds towing an Airstream travel trailer with their Airstream touring coach!  

• Parking and Storage: Airstream touring coaches are nimble and easy to maneuver—often small enough to park in many residential driveways. Running errands, navigating busy gas stations, or pulling into a friend’s driveway for a long‑overdue visit is simple. Some owners even store their coach inside an attached garage.

• Mobile Respite: Owners love having a comfortable retreat with them wherever they go. Instead of relying on rest areas or fast‑food stops, you can pull into a parking lot and make a snack, use the onboard facilities, or take a quick nap. Once you’re recharged, you’re back on the road in minutes.

What Makes Each Touring Coach Unique?

Whether you choose a touring coach built on the Mercedes‑Benz® Sprinter chassis or the RAM ProMaster® 3500 chassis, every Airstream motorhome delivers power, performance, and the signature “all the comforts of home” experience. Each model in our lineup features thoughtful details and subtle design touches that give it its own character. Whatever your travel style, there’s an Airstream touring coach perfectly suited to the way you explore.

Atlas 25MS

Atlas is truly a luxury hotel suite on wheels. Our largest motorhome, the Airstream Atlas 25MS, is affectionately known as a Class B+. Built on the same Mercedes‑Benz chassis as its Airstream siblings, the Atlas boasts a slightly wider body and a slide‑out section that creates a more spacious interior. At the heart of the cabin is its most versatile feature: the bed. Leave it upright as a comfortable sofa, extend it partway to form a half‑length bed for two, or fully deploy the slide‑out to reveal a luxurious queen‑size sleeping space. Beneath the mattress, a Froli® ergonomic sleep system uses interlocking springs to deliver the same restorative comfort you enjoy at home. Thoughtful details like integrated reading lights and bedside shelves keep your nighttime essentials right within reach. 

The Atlas 25MS is Airstream's only model to include a power slide-out, and we’ve taken care to do it right. On the road, the slide-out is retracted and fits seamlessly with the luxury automotive body style. And your destination, it extends with the touch of a button on the Multiplex control panel. Once extended, you have more room to relax on the couch or pull down the Murphy bed to turn in for the night.

Atlas 25RT

With the same luxury concept of the Atlas 25MS, the rear twin bed layout opens up the interior for easy movement, while a thoughtful storage plan includes ten dedicated compartments and drawers beneath the beds. It is a restful retreat that stays organized through long tours and quick weekend escapes. This efficient floorplan allows for less clutter and more relaxation.

A dedicated rear pass-through garage lets you bring more of what you love. Egress and frame dimensions are engineered for practical loading and secure stowage of adventure gear. This means you can bring more travel essentials, and maybe pick up a few extra souvenirs. Need to pack the fishing rods, beach chairs, tennis racquets, and star-gazing equipment? No problem.

Just like the Atlas 25MS, a cross-cabin design creates a true dry bath with separate lavvy and shower spaces, delivering everyday comfort and convenience that feels like home on the road.

Interstate 24GT: The Grand Tour

Built for long‑term travel, the Interstate 24GT is ideal for solo adventurers or couples ready to settle into the rhythm of the open road. The thoughtfully designed galley includes a two‑burner stove, sink, and generous meal‑prep space, while across the aisle a luxurious wet bath offers both a toilet and shower. A hanging closet next to the refrigerator provides ample room for your wardrobe, keeping everything organized and within reach. Up front, swiveling captain’s chairs transform into an impromptu workspace—perfect for catching up on emails and staying connected wherever you roam. With the Interstate 24GT, the journey is the destination.
