I just ran across your video. We retired and after two years of researching RV's and how they are manufactured, this is the one we settled on. We love ours and just took it on a very nice trip through California, Oregon, and Washington. These are solid and comfortable. Thanks for the walkthrough on your rig.
I have the 24RLS. Yes these are in fact solid trailers for serious full time and moderate off road action. One of the most important ORV features is the Moryde Linked suspension and KYB Shocks. Yes folks, this trailer has shocks adding additional safety against side wind as well as handling very rough terrain. Mine is not a toy hauler and still has nearly one ton of cargo capacity. My Tundra pulls my trailer with ease and without violating its max capacity.
Awesome tour! As I live in Oregon these travel trailers by Outdoors RV have been high on my list. The way you put the toy hauler portion of the trailer on display was quite appealing. I’ve been wondering if I can avoid slides… maybe this is the ticket!
Good to see you posting up again. I bought a 2020 ORV 21 TRX 6 months ago. It was like new from a dealer in Missoula. Unfortunately mine has issues. Mainly, the roof is full of bubbles. Big ones and small ones. I’ve reached out to ORV right before the new year when I noticed it, and Matt from the repair shop told me they couldn’t help. I was really surprised. After all of the great quality and integrity I’ve read about with ORV, they pretty much told me to disassemble the roof coping and pull back the roof, re-prep it, re-glue it, tension is all and re-assemble everything. Major project to say the least. Especially when you work full time. In other words, they told me good luck and take care, not our problem.…. I spent 55k on this rig and I expected more out of the quality of the build and also, the quality and integrity of ORV as a company. I don’t have a UA-cam channel and I don’t use social media like others who’ve had major roof issues, well past the warranty and were handled completely differently. I believe it’s based around the fact that they were completely exposed by the client and therefore, did the right thing and fixed their shotty roof installation. It’s a shame as I really like most all of the trailer and 90% of it has been positive. But with a discrepancy as serious as the whole roof system delaminating, I simply can’t stand behind my buy and say I’d do it again, or say I would give good remarks to ORV as a company in a whole.
Yeah. Purchasing a pre-owned RV can be a slippery slope. I'm at the end of the manufacturers warranty. From here on out, I've resigned myself to the fact that it's on me to keep up with any issues that present themselves and I won't rely on the manufacturer beyond this point. Good news is - It's still a great product in the world of RVs. And, it's not an insurmountable problem. It is fixable. Check out this link. goneoutdoors.com/fix-roof-become-bubbled-top-6313966.html The bones of the trailer are no doubt more solid than the competition and it will remain a desirable product if you ever want to resell.
Same here, mines been nothing but problems. Can't load anything in it the ramp is falling out of the fame. The ramp is to small for the frame! First time I used the santiflush it blew out the panel under bathroom sink. My front lift blows several fuses every time I use it. Definitely wouldn't buy another one. I've owned a lot of campers and never had near the problems as this one. Bought mine in Utah.
@@matthewburden8193 glad to here I’m not the only one dissatisfied here, but sorry you’re having issues too Matt. Since I posted last, my kitchen floor is delaminating, max air fan in the bed area is toast (brand new fan, it has to do with ORV’s wiring job) and the air compressor is dead as well. It’s been really frustrating to say the least, and ORV won’t hear any of it. Apparently you have to have a big following on social media/UA-cam for them to care as they only worry about their name with those that are in the limelight exposing them for what they truly are….a mediocre build out at best. Buyers remorse is heavy. I worked my ass off for this trailer and it has let me down in so many ways. The roof has completely bubbled and delaminated so heavily at this point, it’s ridiculous. For such a premium price, I feel people need to know what they’re really getting into. Bottom line, ORV doesn’t stand behind they’re awful QA/QC. Period.
@@nevadahardenduro yes Chad the saddest part is that myself and my wife were so excited about getting our outdoor camper, and it's turned into a nightmare.
Thanks much for the video! I'm a couple years out still but pretty sure this is gonna be the one. Very nice to know you haven't had any issues with yours. ORVs are pretty awesome!
Thanks for the review. Im hooked on these trailers for sure. I've been watching every video I can find to learn about them. Im in Florida so unfortunately I cant see one in person. Hoping to get the 27trx early next year.
Dude amazing review of what looks to be an incredible trailer.....love your sense of humour. "I have 2 hands with opposing thumbs" in other words im not too lazy to pull out the step....lolol FYI you are drinking Canadian milk. Good for you for having impeccable tastes.
I just reserved a 29TRX to be built in April which is when I plan to sell my house and retire. I will be carrying a 50" SXS, and dirt bike. I like that they have KYB shock absorbers, and 16 ply tires stock. A coworker got a 27 foot toy hauler, and it only has a 2,200lb capacity, meaning that it you fill the water, and fuel tank you will be overloaded if you put in a SXS. Lame! The same size TRX carries 5,000lbs.
@@BRP_USA Thanks. I am really excited. Thanks for the great review. I may retire even earlier since my work might mandate the vaccine. Or I will have to wear a mask all the time and get tested constantly. I am a super healthy 59 year old, with not one ache or pain in my body. And I have coworkers that now have severe joint pain after being vaxed, so no way will I let them put one in me! One of them has trouble picking up a coffee cup! I plan on holding on to a dirt bike handlebar, and I want to go into retirement healthy, not injured.
@@twowheelsdown2002 I went to a CAT Scale a few months back and weighed the whole package. With a full tank of water, 1/2 tank of gas, food, gear, tools......Dirt bike in my truck bed, and full tank of diesel and gear in my truck. 18,776 LB Combined.
I haven't had any roof issues since new. I only went up there 3-4 time since purchase and only when when needed. Here's the thing, every time, you walk around on the roof membrane - be as tender as possible and don't twist your steps or pivot or stomp....go in your socks if possible of bare feet. Otherwise, the factory does a good job from what I see. You should call the factory and ask the service folks,,,they always answer and will give you good advice on maintaining the roof. If you buy a used one - make sure your do your due diligence and look at everything - ask questions.
Hi we’re looking at the 260RKS. We have never owned a trailer but from all of my research this looks like the best so far. It looks sturdy and durable. I’m wondering since it’s so heavy what kind of gas mileage you get? If you could reach back out to me and let me know that would be helpful.
Nice unit. If you want to run your 110 TV, I just use a little, like 150 or 200 watt portable inverter that plugs into lighter type sockets. The TV probably pulls around 35ish watts.
Another thing you might like- Lippert makes a replacement door window, tinted so it matches the rest of the tinted windows, with an accordion style blind built in. If you were to install one, I’d put the blind in upside down- so if you don’t quite fully close it you can see who’s at the door without stooping down.
Custom Build?? Doubtful, but I can't speak for them. Call them. Most dealers will order fully optioned and allocations have been limited depending on the Model.
Hi! Yeah, It's set up for single living currently. I've removed all but one lounger and a table in the bay area so it's like a barndominium. Being 6-2 and having such a high ceiling great. I've put some reels up on Instagram regarding this.
What hitch are you using? We're picking up our 24 TRX 2022 model this weekend and the dealer is supplying a Weigh Safe hitch. I have a 2022 Ram 2500 with the Cummin's 6.7L and I'm looking forward to seeing how it tows. We have about a 500 mile trip from the dealer to home, but other than a few rolling hills in TX, we are mostly flat.
I've been using the Husky equalizer/weight distribution hitch. Make sure they show you the procedure to connect and disconnect. Also running air-lift load kit, the air fittings are on either side of my license plate and I use the trailer to air the bags up when towing. My truck has the 6.7L as well. It has served me well. Fully laden, truck-trailer- I've seen over 18,700lbs distributed between all axles.
I was not aware of this brand. I own a 03 Nash 22H and it has been a great trailer. I’ve been thinking about another Nash, 24m. Nash and this Brand are built within miles of each other. Did you compare Nash, Northwood Mnfct.? If so what are your thoughts?
Nice overview/review video. Hope you don't mind that I posted a link to this and your latest update videos in the Outdoors RV Owners Group Facebook group.
Those aren't leveling jacks, just stabilizers. I use leveling wheel chocks that work very well. I chose not to get ALJs as the ground clearance is so high, and didn't want servos, wires, etc hanging below the frame. Not sure if these are $13, but the have held up like champs.
Under pantry door and below bottom panel of cabinet beneath the sink. You need to remove the bottom of the cabinet. 4 screws. It’s strange but I guess it’s where they wanted it
I'm 6'2, I see where you are going with this ...RV Queens are 2"-3" shorter than normal queen. It would fit width-wise but would hang over the end of the platform.
Hey do you find the area between the stove and bathroom tight? Its the only thing steering me from the 24 to the 27trx... but no one has them in stock to walk through
I've been through the 27 TRX, before I purchased this. If I had a 1 ton to pull it efficiently, at the time, I would have bought it. RE: Kitchen Space The access to the head was laid out differently on the 27. The kitchen, had a bit more space through ingress and egress. I honestly haven't been hindered by any of the layout of the 24. www.outdoorsrvmfg.com/trail-series-27trx-2/
On your Bluetooth + CD player, etc. for about $40 you can get a usb DVD player, your TV will have an HDMI connector, and use your laptop to run them. Amazon’s will sell both, the Portable USB DVD/CD player and cable. On your toy lock system that you hardly use… sorry. I’ve lost several toys, bikes, motorcycles, and must politely object. I was once like you, assumed people were generally honest. People assume others are like them. I was naive. Had some bikes stolen while we were eating. We heard a truck drive by, didn’t think a thing, went outside and the bikes were gone. Motorcycle went in the middle of the night. Electric bikes a year later. LOCK THEM UP whenever you aren’t using them. Also, put cameras around, get the ones with night vision and enable it, not for the reason you might think. The battery operated ones like eufy have red lights that come on when they detect motion, the lights alone let them know they have been spotted. Good luck Sir!
Too Bad about the theft. This can ruin a good experience fast. Bad location? Bad luck? Bad decision? Sound like you hang out in some rough areas. Military taught me something. Situational Awareness. This is what I practice, in everyday life, and when traveling and camping. 90% of the time I don't need to lock up. I'm definitely not naive, but I do know when to use common sense. Most of my sites are remote without heavy traffic, easy access to highways, large groups of folks partying, etc. If there is a chance of someone getting into my things, I either move on or lock things up, and make it difficult for them to get at it. I believe most folks are honest. I just don't let my guard down and don't make it easy for the 1% out there to steal my gear.
@@BRP_USA - We like to dry camp, spend a few days away, then overnight at a campground. Most of the thefts happened when/where we wouldn’t have expected anything. In hindsight… national parks, areas like cripple creek and lake city in Colorado, where tourists from all over come. I’d add drill, be prepared all the time, to situational awareness. Get in the habit of being proactive, cables, automatic lights/cameras, assume some people are like sharks just cruising looking for an opportunity, an easy target. Not letting your guard down is key, diligence, know it’s when you are feeling safe and comfortable that it can happen. Now we put a few cameras around, some visible some hidden, just to be safe. Sadly the one time we called the police, showed them the video that clearly showed the individual stealing something from a neighbors campsite, they denied it to the police, his wife was like “he was with me all the time, he didn’t do nothing!” And even though the video showed them still wearing the same clothes, it was at 50’ away and you couldn’t positively identify the man’s face on the video. Sadly, it’s an imperfect world.
It's a barrel roof construction, so, quite sturdy. All wood, probably pine. The large degree of wood in the construction makes these toy haulers heavier than average.
It's been durable so far. In my experience, rodents can chew through anything, I just avoid attracting them in the first place, with food, smells, etc. Keeping everything clean and not creating an environment that benefits them.
When holes are drilled for pipes and electric through floor usually need sealed closed .Think 2 inch pipe in 3 inch hole without any sealing.Under tub,sinks and electric lines.
Hi mota 0116 Nothing to speak of other than keeping up with maintenance. ie greasing suspension, keeping an eye on tire pressure and wear - flushing tanks, / weekly and bi-weekly cleaning. I keep an eye on things so if it needs attention, I can fix it before it becomes catastrophic.
Outdoors Rv has convinced peoppe that their campers are something special. Watch the detailed factory tours on here... They're built with the same exact concepts as all the junk coming out of Indiana. They're insulated a bit better... But they still use a junky rubber roof and glued walls. The roof will fail and the walls will eventually delam. The only units that will truly last a long time are molded fiberglass. These are nothing special, but their marketing has convinced people that they're somehow far superior when they're constructed basically using the exact same methods as everything else on the market. They are built a bit better but nothing like they're trying to make people believe. This is not a 20 or 30 year unit like a molded fiberglass rig.
True. RV buying can be a slippery slope. Materials and processes span this industry. Don’t be convinced by the manufacturer’s marketing and the flash. Get out there and compare build quality and structural durability with the competition.
Haven't noticed anyone running generators much after dark. Probably out of courtesy for neighbors. Even remote camping, don't really need it. I've only run the gen, briefly, during the days to operated the AC. Don't need it at night as the maxx air fans do a great job circulating the warm air out. That's all solar.
Um uh mmmm uh uhm ummm uhhh ....That's all I heard the whole time. Thanks for the video but a script or list to read off or some type of direction would greatly improve your viewer experience.

Another question : where is the main electrical panel (breaker panel)?
Under pantry door and below bottom panel of cabinet beneath the sink. You need to remove the bottom of the cabinet. 4 screws. It’s strange but I guess it’s where they wanted it

In hindsight… national parks, areas like cripple creek and lake city in Colorado, where tourists from all over come. I’d add drill, be prepared all the time, to situational awareness. Get in the habit of being proactive, cables, automatic lights/cameras, assume some people are like sharks just cruising looking for an opportunity, an easy target. Not letting your guard down is key, diligence, know it’s when you are feeling safe and comfortable that it can happen. Now we put a few cameras around, some visible some hidden, just to be safe. Sadly the one time we called the police, showed them the video that clearly showed the individual stealing something from a neighbors campsite, they denied it to the police, his wife was like “he was with me all the time, he didn’t do nothing!” And even though the video showed them still wearing the same clothes, it was at 50’ away and you couldn’t positively identify the man’s face on the video. Sadly, it’s an imperfect world.
What size truck do you have?
Hello. It's a 2008 3/4 ton w/ 6.7 CTD. Good old
truck.
they have a rally every year
I saw that. Up in Oregon!! Nice.
can you fit a jet ski with trailer in it:? about 14 ft total? im trying to fit that and dirt bike and live full time in it
Dirt Bike will definitely fit. A trailer and w/ a Jetski would not.
A nitro XLR 23 kw has 14 garage.A28 kw has 17 garage but there 37 long
What is the floor frame and roof frame constructed of?
It's a barrel roof construction, so, quite sturdy. All wood, probably pine. The large degree of wood in the construction makes these toy haulers heavier than average.
Do you think that the undercarriage membrane is critter proof?
It's been durable so far.
In my experience, rodents can chew through anything,
I just avoid attracting them in the first place, with food, smells, etc. Keeping everything clean and not creating an environment that benefits them.
@@BRP_USA I appreciate your reply, I've been looking at Outdoors RV for a while and like them very much. Thanks
When holes are drilled for pipes and electric through floor usually need sealed closed .Think 2 inch pipe in 3 inch hole without any sealing.Under tub,sinks and electric lines.
Any problems after 1yr living in it
Hi mota 0116
Nothing to speak of other than keeping up with maintenance. ie greasing suspension, keeping an eye on tire pressure and wear - flushing tanks, / weekly and bi-weekly cleaning. I keep an eye on things so if it needs attention, I can fix it before it becomes catastrophic.
Outdoors Rv has convinced peoppe that their campers are something special. Watch the detailed factory tours on here... They're built with the same exact concepts as all the junk coming out of Indiana. They're insulated a bit better... But they still use a junky rubber roof and glued walls. The roof will fail and the walls will eventually delam. The only units that will truly last a long time are molded fiberglass. These are nothing special, but their marketing has convinced people that they're somehow far superior when they're constructed basically using the exact same methods as everything else on the market. They are built a bit better but nothing like they're trying to make people believe. This is not a 20 or 30 year unit like a molded fiberglass rig.
Thanks for your input.
True. RV buying can be a slippery slope. Materials and processes span this industry.
Don’t be convinced by the manufacturer’s marketing and the flash.
Get out there and compare build quality and structural durability with the competition.
roof is PVC . At least know what you’re complaining about. Sorry you can’t afford one.
Wait, all that comment, and no recommendation for another toy hauler?
Looks like 1500 Cummins
2500 HD 6.7 CTD (409 CI)
a cousin to Northeood To Me are better
Never owned a Northwoods. I've heard they are nice!
Bet that's fun sleeping 6 inches from a generator 🤦
Haven't noticed anyone running generators much after dark. Probably out of courtesy for neighbors.
Even remote camping, don't really need it.
I've only run the gen, briefly, during the days to operated the AC. Don't need it at night as the maxx air fans do a great job circulating the warm air out. That's all solar.
Um uh mmmm uh uhm ummm uhhh ....That's all I heard the whole time. Thanks for the video but a script or list to read off or some type of direction would greatly improve your viewer experience.
yep hes new to the camera but dont really care. more interested in his opinion
@@musicjewell9329 I'm not bashing the guy. In good faith I'm trying to improve the experience and help him get a bigger following.
@@TheOGPickleRick I get it im in process of buying one right now so was nice to hear from an owner.
Fair enough, thanks for the perspective.
