Is There A Water Filtering Kit For 2016 Airstream Flying Cloud ?  

Updated 03/25/2026 | Published 03/24/2026

Question:

We’ve got a 2016 Airstream Flying Cloud and I’d love to stop using bottled water for cooking. Is a single filter enough or should I be looking at a bigger system?

Hey there Rachel, a single inline filter like the SOLO # GB64FR is a great upgrade from the basic filters, but it is still pretty minimal since it’s just a single stage.

If your goal is to feel confident cooking and drinking from the tap, most people end up happier with a multi-stage system. You’ve got two ways to go there:

The AR3 Elite # GB59FR is a portable 3-stage system you set up outside at the spigot.
The TRIO # GB44FR is a fixed 3-stage system that installs inside your RV like the SOLO.

Both give you sediment filtration, carbon for taste, and that 0.2-micron level filtration - it just comes down to whether you want something portable or built-in.

Do you usually stay at developed campgrounds, or mix in some more remote spots?

thanks Andrew. We’re mostly at campgrounds. I just want to feel good about using the water for cooking and coffee without making things too difficult.

@Rachel That makes sense, Rachel. If that’s your goal, I’d lean toward one of the 3-stage options - they just give you that extra confidence with taste and overall water quality compared to a single filter. It doesn’t really add much complexity to use those kits. The TRIO uses the same 1/2" connection that the SOLO uses, so that install is the same inside your rv water lines aside from it taking up more space. The portable is easy to setup at the water spigot at the camp ground too. Just depends if you want a professional one-time installation, or a portable DIY-friendly option.
