Hi Everyone, We hope you enjoyed our video! Which camper under 4,000 lbs did you like? Please say hello by leaving a comment below! Also, please feel free to ask any questions or just tell us about yourselves. We want to get to know you and share our RV experiences.
I'm starting to wonder about these coach designers... without spending a fortune on a large rv 5th wheeler... I'm 6'5" so what are the options... I don't have a large rv budget nor want the inconveniences of bulk, more for outback detours... & brother have you Americans got a funny idea of "small"... cheers from NZ
I was just watching the newer tow with an suv video and clicked on this one because you added it there. I just wanted to say, wow... you have lost weight. Good for you. I'm not saying you looked bad before, but you do look healthier now. That's not easy to do as we age, and I just wanted to mention it because im sure it wasn't easy. 👏
Thank you so much for noticing. We have tried to stick to a healthier lifestyle this past year. Eating right and going the the gym. We feel much better but had to buy all new clothes 🤣 (definitely worth it!) We appreciate the shout out! 🤗
In the US, where "Debt is King", why have a 15' travel trailer when you can have a 25' for only a few hundred more per month. Then you have to upgrade your tow vehicle which then incurs more debt. At least that is the mindset of most in this country. There have been a few times where the "mainstream RV industry" have had good intentions to manufacture small "lightweight" models, but they don't sell too well. A good example was the Geo Pro/E Pro 14FK, a nice lightweight model with a wet bath, it never really took off. It has now gained a foot in length, and I think all of the optional features have become standard. Started off as roughly 2000 lbs. dry weight, now weighs over 2600 dry and getting heavier. You have to buy from a niche manufacture to buy a small lightweight travel trailer, which usually costs more but better quality (sometimes).

Mike, you and Susan do a great job of narration, describing features and camera work. I like that you are relaxed and have a calm soothing voice. No drama or overselling just the plain simple facts and meaningful observations. I look for your video's first. I'm single, have and SUV and towing limitations. I would like a murphy bed arrangement or better yet no bed at all, since I sleep in a recliner. Want a dry bath and no real requirements for dining area or kitchen. any suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for the reviews. I like the keystone bullet crossfire. Its nice to walk into a trailer and not be in the bedroom. I also like the bump out with all the extra room.

Commenting for algorithm. Great, concise, & informative video. Thanks for posting weight, length, Floorplan, MSRP, etc info at the beginning of each rv before touring it. Good job to your camera person!
Hi Maria, Susan does all the camera work and editing. So she puts in all the graphics and everything. I just blab in front of the camera! Enjoy the Super Bowl tonight! Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike Susan said thanks for the kind words too!
I’ve been creeping, and watching your videos for a while, and I’m convinced my calling is to figure out how to make the most of these trailers! I feel like there is so much wasted space and no one out there to show how to use this small space the most effectively way possible! Going to look into it ASAP!
Love all the under-bed storage, shower curtains with the track above and below, and that additional counter space in the kitchen - hope that's a trend that continues as I like to cook!
Hello sdraper! I totally agree! As always - thank you for watching and commenting. We hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Mike and Susan
Overall I enjoy your videos but one thing I noticed that you don't really talk about but is very important to myself and probably others is - how much elbow room is the bathroom, when sitting on the toilet. For me, that can make or break a trailer, but I noticed very few bloggers address it. Otherwise, great job, enjoyed the selections and thank you for sharing!

Thanks for your very good, quick reviews. I appreciate that you mention the height of the shower. That is an important measurement for us, and the rv websites do not provide that detail.

I like the Vintage Cruise and the micro Mini Winnie for the extra room the bump-out gives, the availability of a sofa/bed, the larger refrigerators, the roomy showers and, for sure, the oven. We like to cook and an oven greatly increases the variety of dishes you can make (and takes over for the grill/fire when it's bad weather). Microwave is nice to have but usually only when you have a hook-up. The other units' bunk space would be better used in other ways, with just the two of us. Yes, these two units are worth consideration in my book.

One thing that's very important and I'd like to see you cover is the size of the bed. Specifically, I'd like to see you differentiate between RV queen beds (60 x 74) vs residential size (60 x 80). I'm 6' 2" and I will only buy a trailer that has a residential size queen bed. My 19' Freedom Express 192RBS has a 60 x 80 residential size queen bed, so they are available in smaller trailers. While some manufacturers give the actual dimensions of the bed, some don't. That's why I always take a tape measure with me when looking RVs.
Hi AlaskaErik, We could definitely do a better job covering the size of the beds. Thanks for the suggestion and we will include that info in future videos! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I love these smaller campers... currently have a Jayco Jayflight 27 BH that was my Parents...it's great for the large family but I'm looking to downsize since the kiddoes are all out and starting their own families it's generally just me camping now...... keep the vids coming... I have such a limited selection here locally ( Idaho) it's looking like I may be tripping to the midwest to find what suites me... Thanks so much for your time and effort you put into these vidoes.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We have definitely toured many many small campers. We are from Maryland and purchased a motorhome that was in Florida. One piece of advice is hire an RV inspector, separate from dealership. We had to put a deposit on the RV first but we wanted to make sure it was worth buying and problems could be fixed. Best of luck in your research.

It's the Winnie for me. 20 + feet' and dual axle. The Winnie folks just make a more substantial unit all the way around. The finish is better too. No dinette and a nice wardrobe closet in the bathroom. There was a hanging rod in it. Keep these great tours coming.
So glad our video was helpful. Winnebago does a great job with floor plan functionality and quality. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting

Love The Gulf Stream Vintage as a 60's child loves Turq already thinking some Boho theme to Victorian Rustic to add pinks.. 1AntiqueJunkie Memories of my Mom. 1st time seeing this one. Also love the Winnebago Micro. Both Adorable. 💙💗🦋🦋
Hi AntiqueAngel, The retro models are so cool! Glad you were able to remember some good times with your mom. Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike and Susan
Very informative video. The negative of the floorplans in some, is the bed being right next to the door. I won't get one like that. It makes me feel like I have no privacy when a guest knocks at the door. (And a little vulnerable, too). I also hate having to take my boots and coat off just inches from my bed. It's messy. and it is a dealbreaker for me. Thank you for reminding me!
You are very welcome. All great points. Thanks for mentioning. Glad we could refresh your memory!🤣 Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
One request: when you show the shower, you make a point of showing the height for tall campers! Yet you ignore height when you talk about the bed. A queen size bed is 60 x 80. Some units are so equipped. But many have a short queen which is 6” shorter yet you still call it a queen size bed instead of a short queen. I am 6 feet tall and would not buy a camper with a short queen. I spend much more time in the bed than I do in the shower. Keep up the fine videos!
Hi Paul, Thanks for the suggestion. We will include the bed sizes in future videos! Thanks for watching and commenting! We hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Just discovered you guys on the t.v. using UA-cam. Enjoying the reviews of small trailers with bathrooms. Wondered about some of the technical aspects of the units. Propane, solar, cabinet closures, convection ovens etc. I know your reviews are ment to be brief overviews just thought I would let you know . Nervous about choosing a trailer due to the "backing-up" aspect. But the prices are so much better than class B units.
Hi Barbara, Glad you found us!!!! We do just provide brief overviews. You can add the technical stuff to almost any RV. Backing up really isn't that hard but it takes practice. I have several articles on the topic over on our website www.rvblogger.com You can use the search bar to find what you are looking for. Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike and Susan

Hi om, Yes you can switch out the mattress in any RV or camper. and I really like Tochta Mattresses. We just ordered one and will be making a YouTUbe video all about it in the next few weeks!

I liked the Winnie Micro Minnie 2106FBS the best. The appliance coordination with the inline kitchen/sofa details make the decor sharp and I’d also downsize to a full-size Murphy or light-weight Day/Captain’s Bed adding a space for my two cats to have privacy for eating & using their litter pans (they are inside cats - so I also would design a travel safe cat-Terri’s/Cat Tree for them to use while we travel and park (they are older and micro-chipped). I might also consider swapping in/out a cassette chemical toilet to avoid the black hose /cleaning issue as well - I’m fine for cleaning cat pans and emptying the toilet cassette lol, but the thought of mishandling the black hose connectors - hmmm- not so much lol. Really enjoyed the comparisons - Great reviews - thank you!

They're all look great to me within my budget. However, what about the built quality of it all? That's what I concern the most. What do you think of Lance travel trailer like the 1575, 1685 etc. Lance seems to be a bit more expensive.
Hey NLD We don't have any long term experience with these campers so we can't comment on our opinion on overall build quality. :) Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan
in your experience, what are the best brands for reliability on a first trailer?...would you suggest buying a used higher end unit or a new lower end unit?...are pre-covid units that much better than post-covid?
Lots of great questions there. We usually don't recommend manufacturers but I will say in our experience we believe Grand Design and Alliance have some the best trailers and 5th wheels. I think buying used is a great way to save money and beat the depreciation of an RV. As for the effects of Covid in manufacturing...I'm sure there has been a negative impact on some construction. Consider hiring an inspector too, that can save money in the long run. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi Evelyn, We like the minnie too! Thanks for watching and commenting! We hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Mike and Susan
I’d love to see more designs for adults vs couples. Real bunks for adults in a trailer with no slide. Mini kitchen as we eat out or cook minimal meals. Twin beds vs Queen fixed. Even a wet bath as we are handicapped and don’t need the step up tubs!

@@RVBlogger thank you for that! I am a solo camper with really bad knees. Unlike Jacki, I plan to cook most of my meals and I prefer a queen bed and do like the tub as it keeps water from getting in the bathroom floor. I also really hate shallow enamel kitchen sinks, and want a separate fridge/freezer so I can store frozen foods. We all have different needs, even those of us who are handicapped.

MIke - very happy I discovered (and subscribed!) to your channel. You and your wife do a great job covering a wide variety of travel trailers. I'm 61, and my wife and I are looking to get our first ever travel trailer. I have really been drawer to the Escape trailer out of Chilliwack, Canada. I like the idea of the solid fiberglass trailer, especially due to potentially less leakage and higher resale values. I drive a 2001 Tundra, with a towing capacity of about 7000 lbs GVWR. We are not looking to live in one full time, but if we had to live in one for 3 months, we'd want to be comfortable. Best recommendation for an old man doing this for the first time? - Thanks!
Hi Stephen! I think you would be extremely comfy in the Escape 5. It is roomy and has a king size bed too! Best recommendation is learn all you can before you take off. If this is your very first trailer ever we highly recommend you rent an RV BEFORE you buy one. You might even be able to find an Escape you can rent on Outdoorsy.com If you decide to do that let me know and I'll send you our discount code so you can save quite a few bucks.

@rvblogger Do you know if Gulf Stream would delete the bunks in favor a little entertainment area with a chair and TV? Would be a much better use of space in my opinion.

@@RVBlogger we are seriously looking to buy our first small trailer. I have right now narrowed it down to a Grand Design Imagine 17 or 20. Do you know anything about the integrity of them? So far from what I have seen they seem to get good ratings over all.
@@annemitteness7426 Hi Anne, From all the reviews we have done and also all the people we know who own Grand Designs we think you are making a good decision. There will be things wrong with your camper (haven't seen a perfect camper yet) so inspect it thoroughly BEFORE you take possession from the dealer and make them fix whatever you find BEFORE you drive away with it. Overall Grand Designs build good products. Let us know how you make out! Mike

Hi GDIBS, Great question...the max towing capacity on a Toyota Sienna is 3,500 lbs. We recommend you never tow more than 80% of the max capacity so you would max out at 2,800 lbs GVWR. GVWR is the weight of the trailer PLUS all of your gear, groceries, clothes, and supplies you load into the trailer. So, you should look for a trailer that is no more than 2,000 lbs. We made a video about campers under 2000 lbs which you can find at ua-cam.com/video/fHWH3aO9R44/v-deo.html I also wrote an article about campers under 2,000 lbs at rvblogger.com/blog/best-small-campers-under-2000-lbs-with-bathrooms/ Hope that helps!

I liked the Jayco Jay Flight SLX`74BH ....BUT... i noticed that above the stove was the micro with no vent hood. I think all the heat from the stove is going to cause an issue there. I loved the last three models that had the slide out. We are going to be purchasing our first travel trailer and getting tons of great info from your videos, Thank You !!
A lot of these videos I have noticed the bathroom doors do not reach the top or bottom. Is that just because these are models or are the actually open like that?

Its almost like this video was meant for us. This past Tuesday our 2021 135 Retro was stolen in Vegas. Loved our small trailer. Looking forward to more videos. Not sure what future model we will choose.
So sorry to hear your Retro was stolen! That's really awful, that someone would do that. I hope your replacement works as well, and that this event doesn't affect you for very long. Best wishes on your future travels.
Hi Greengooseman, oh no!!! So sorry to hear that! We are firm believers that everything happens for a reason and we hope you find and even better trailer than the retro... Keep us posted on whatever you decide to do to replace it. And we hope you and your family have a very happy holiday season. Mike and Susan
Nice video. Nice trailers. Wish there were a couple in this class that had the open garage/toy hauler like the ones you showcased in the under3000. Makes it accessibility for wheelchairs much easier. Thanks for sharing.

I'm starting to wonder about these coach designers... without spending a fortune on a large rv 5th wheeler... I'm 6'5" so what are the options... I don't have a large rv budget nor want the inconveniences of bulk, more for outback detours... & brother have you Americans got a funny idea of "small"... cheers from NZ
Gotta be the Gulfstream. The fit and finish are really nice.
gvw -uvw ?
I was just watching the newer tow with an suv video and clicked on this one because you added it there. I just wanted to say, wow... you have lost weight. Good for you. I'm not saying you looked bad before, but you do look healthier now. That's not easy to do as we age, and I just wanted to mention it because im sure it wasn't easy. 👏
Thank you so much for noticing. We have tried to stick to a healthier lifestyle this past year. Eating right and going the the gym. We feel much better but had to buy all new clothes 🤣 (definitely worth it!) We appreciate the shout out! 🤗
The vintage one, by far, is my favourite, the timber work inside is gorgeous. The kitchen is perfect, I like the coat cupboard at the front door too.
We like that one too!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Merry Christmas! 🎅🏻

Gotta love ‘Merica, when ‘micro’ means twin axle and 3800lbs 😂
Hi Ashley,

In the US, where "Debt is King", why have a 15' travel trailer when you can have a 25' for only a few hundred more per month. Then you have to upgrade your tow vehicle which then incurs more debt. At least that is the mindset of most in this country. There have been a few times where the "mainstream RV industry" have had good intentions to manufacture small "lightweight" models, but they don't sell too well. A good example was the Geo Pro/E Pro 14FK, a nice lightweight model with a wet bath, it never really took off. It has now gained a foot in length, and I think all of the optional features have become standard. Started off as roughly 2000 lbs. dry weight, now weighs over 2600 dry and getting heavier. You have to buy from a niche manufacture to buy a small lightweight travel trailer, which usually costs more but better quality (sometimes).
My heart is totally in love with the vintage gulf stream

Mike, you and Susan do a great job of narration, describing features and camera work. I like that you are relaxed and have a calm soothing voice. No drama or overselling just the plain simple facts and meaningful observations. I look for your video's first. I'm single, have and SUV and towing limitations. I would like a murphy bed arrangement or better yet no bed at all, since I sleep in a recliner. Want a dry bath and no real requirements for dining area or kitchen. any suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

I’ve been creeping, and watching your videos for a while, and I’m convinced my calling is to figure out how to make the most of these trailers! I feel like there is so much wasted space and no one out there to show how to use this small space the most effectively way possible! Going to look into it ASAP!

Overall I enjoy your videos but one thing I noticed that you don't really talk about but is very important to myself and probably others is - how much elbow room is the bathroom, when sitting on the toilet. For me, that can make or break a trailer, but I noticed very few bloggers address it.
Otherwise, great job, enjoyed the selections and thank you for sharing!

I like the Vintage Cruise and the micro Mini Winnie for the extra room the bump-out gives, the availability of a sofa/bed, the larger refrigerators, the roomy showers and, for sure, the oven. We like to cook and an oven greatly increases the variety of dishes you can make (and takes over for the grill/fire when it's bad weather). Microwave is nice to have but usually only when you have a hook-up. The other units' bunk space would be better used in other ways, with just the two of us. Yes, these two units are worth consideration in my book.

I like the trailers that have a facing dinette... so you can.. you know.. face your partner.. better for eating, gaming and relaxing together.
Those are perfect reasons for that style dinette! Thanks Pesto!
For the Jayco, for a single, or a couple, do away with the bunks. Put in a stackable washer dryer.

I loved sooo many of these!! Thank you!
You are welcome. So glad we could show you some campers you like. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
One thing that's very important and I'd like to see you cover is the size of the bed. Specifically, I'd like to see you differentiate between RV queen beds (60 x 74) vs residential size (60 x 80). I'm 6' 2" and I will only buy a trailer that has a residential size queen bed. My 19' Freedom Express 192RBS has a 60 x 80 residential size queen bed, so they are available in smaller trailers. While some manufacturers give the actual dimensions of the bed, some don't. That's why I always take a tape measure with me when looking RVs.
Hi AlaskaErik,
We could definitely do a better job covering the size of the beds. Thanks for the suggestion and we will include that info in future videos!

I love these smaller campers... currently have a Jayco Jayflight 27 BH that was my Parents...it's great for the large family but I'm looking to downsize since the kiddoes are all out and starting their own families it's generally just me camping now...... keep the vids coming... I have such a limited selection here locally ( Idaho) it's looking like I may be tripping to the midwest to find what suites me... Thanks so much for your time and effort you put into these vidoes.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We have definitely toured many many small campers. We are from Maryland and purchased a motorhome that was in Florida. One piece of advice is hire an RV inspector, separate from dealership. We had to put a deposit on the RV first but we wanted to make sure it was worth buying and problems could be fixed. Best of luck in your research.
I loved the winnebago Micro Minnie.

Remember the PT Cruiser? Cool at first.
It's the Winnie for me. 20 + feet' and dual axle. The Winnie folks just make a more substantial unit all the way around. The finish is better too. No dinette and a nice wardrobe closet in the bathroom. There was a hanging rod in it. Keep these great tours coming.
So glad our video was helpful. Winnebago does a great job with floor plan functionality and quality. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting

Very informative video. The negative of the floorplans in some, is the bed being right next to the door. I won't get one like that. It makes me feel like I have no privacy when a guest knocks at the door. (And a little vulnerable, too). I also hate having to take my boots and coat off just inches from my bed. It's messy. and it is a dealbreaker for me. Thank you for reminding me!
You are very welcome. All great points. Thanks for mentioning. Glad we could refresh your memory!🤣 Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
One request: when you show the shower, you make a point of showing the height for tall campers! Yet you ignore height when you talk about the bed. A queen size bed is 60 x 80. Some units are so equipped. But many have a short queen which is 6” shorter yet you still call it a queen size bed instead of a short queen. I am 6 feet tall and would not buy a camper with a short queen. I spend much more time in the bed than I do in the shower. Keep up the fine videos!
Hi Paul,

Just discovered you guys on the t.v. using UA-cam. Enjoying the reviews of small trailers with bathrooms. Wondered about some of the technical aspects of the units. Propane, solar, cabinet closures, convection ovens etc. I know your reviews are ment to be brief overviews just thought I would let you know . Nervous about choosing a trailer due to the "backing-up" aspect. But the prices are so much better than class B units.
Hi Barbara,
Glad you found us!!!! We do just provide brief overviews. You can add the technical stuff to almost any RV.
Backing up really isn't that hard but it takes practice.

I liked the Winnie Micro Minnie 2106FBS the best. The appliance coordination with the inline kitchen/sofa details make the decor sharp and I’d also downsize to a full-size Murphy or light-weight Day/Captain’s Bed adding a space for my two cats to have privacy for eating & using their litter pans (they are inside cats - so I also would design a travel safe cat-Terri’s/Cat Tree for them to use while we travel and park (they are older and micro-chipped). I might also consider swapping in/out a cassette chemical toilet to avoid the black hose /cleaning issue as well - I’m fine for cleaning cat pans and emptying the toilet cassette lol, but the thought of mishandling the black hose connectors - hmmm- not so much lol. Really enjoyed the comparisons - Great reviews - thank you!

They're all look great to me within my budget. However, what about the built quality of it all? That's what I concern the most. What do you think of Lance travel trailer like the 1575, 1685 etc. Lance seems to be a bit more expensive.
Hey NLD
We don't have any long term experience with these campers so we can't comment on our opinion on overall build quality. :)
Thanks for watching and commenting!
❤ Mike and Susan
in your experience, what are the best brands for reliability on a first trailer?...would you suggest buying a used higher end unit or a new lower end unit?...are pre-covid units that much better than post-covid?
Lots of great questions there. We usually don't recommend manufacturers but I will say in our experience we believe Grand Design and Alliance have some the best trailers and 5th wheels. I think buying used is a great way to save money and beat the depreciation of an RV. As for the effects of Covid in manufacturing...I'm sure there has been a negative impact on some construction. Consider hiring an inspector too, that can save money in the long run. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@RVBlogger thank you for that! I am a solo camper with really bad knees. Unlike Jacki, I plan to cook most of my meals and I prefer a queen bed and do like the tub as it keeps water from getting in the bathroom floor. I also really hate shallow enamel kitchen sinks, and want a separate fridge/freezer so I can store frozen foods. We all have different needs, even those of us who are handicapped.

MIke - very happy I discovered (and subscribed!) to your channel. You and your wife do a great job covering a wide variety of travel trailers. I'm 61, and my wife and I are looking to get our first ever travel trailer. I have really been drawer to the Escape trailer out of Chilliwack, Canada. I like the idea of the solid fiberglass trailer, especially due to potentially less leakage and higher resale values. I drive a 2001 Tundra, with a towing capacity of about 7000 lbs GVWR. We are not looking to live in one full time, but if we had to live in one for 3 months, we'd want to be comfortable. Best recommendation for an old man doing this for the first time? - Thanks!
Hi Stephen!
I think you would be extremely comfy in the Escape 5. It is roomy and has a king size bed too!
Best recommendation is learn all you can before you take off. If this is your very first trailer ever we highly recommend you rent an RV BEFORE you buy one. You might even be able to find an Escape you can rent on Outdoorsy.com
If you decide to do that let me know and I'll send you our discount code so you can save quite a few bucks. (mike@rvblogger.com)

@@RVBlogger Thanks for your input Mike! I have already joined the Facebook group, and I think the idea of renting an RV is an excellent one!
@rvblogger Do you know if Gulf Stream would delete the bunks in favor a little entertainment area with a chair and TV? Would be a much better use of space in my opinion.
They might have a floor plan with those features, they have tons of RV models. Here's a link to their website, you could be there awhile 😂 www.gulfstreamcoach.com/ Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
I only have a 2022 Mazda CX-9 to use. What trailers do you suggest? Thanks

@@RVBlogger we are seriously looking to buy our first small trailer. I have right now narrowed it down to a Grand Design Imagine 17 or 20. Do you know anything about the integrity of them? So far from what I have seen they seem to get good ratings over all.
@@annemitteness7426 Hi Anne,
From all the reviews we have done and also all the people we know who own Grand Designs we think you are making a good decision. There will be things wrong with your camper (haven't seen a perfect camper yet) so inspect it thoroughly BEFORE you take possession from the dealer and make them fix whatever you find BEFORE you drive away with it. Overall Grand Designs build good products. Let us know how you make out!
Mike
Which one are you sitting in for the outro? My favorites were the Vintage and the Micro Minnie. An oven is a necessity for me!
Hey Bee Mama,
It's the InTech Sol Horizon. Great choices!!

What would you recommend for a 4-season camper for 5 people, a service dog, and 3 cats ?
That would depend on the size of the travel trailer and how far you might be willing to travel to find one. Here's a link to one of our blog articles about great 4 season travel trailers that might help rvblogger.com/blog/4-season-travel-trailer-brands/ Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
I have a Toyota Highlander and I’m looking for something with a dinette slide and bunks for under 4500 wet to be safe as 5k in my max weight, saw the rockwood geo pro g20bhs, seems to be the only one so far, any other 4500 or less with a slide out and bunks? Thanks for your great videos
You are welcome! We might have a few ideas for you.
Check out the Jayco floor models in this video. The Jayco Jay flight 184BS definitely has all the features you are looking for ua-cam.com/video/JUtPYYM7Gp4/v-deo.html
Check out the KZ Sportsmen Classic 181BH in this video (also has the features you want) ua-cam.com/video/5tIEXn74tb0/v-deo.html
Hope this has helped. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
I like the second jayco with the full bath in the back
Hi Mildred!
That's a good one!
Thanks again for watching!
Mike
Okay these look great! Looking for one with a rear ramp so I can also put my motorcycle in the back?!?
Sounds like you need a toy hauler. We have reviewed a few of those too. Thanks for watching and commenting. ua-cam.com/video/_M6xYVbI7Lo/v-deo.html
Is there any sugestion on which type of trailer could be used with a toyota Sienna, or other minivans?
Hi GDIBS,
Great question...the max towing capacity on a Toyota Sienna is 3,500 lbs. We recommend you never tow more than 80% of the max capacity so you would max out at 2,800 lbs GVWR. GVWR is the weight of the trailer PLUS all of your gear, groceries, clothes, and supplies you load into the trailer. So, you should look for a trailer that is no more than 2,000 lbs.
We made a video about campers under 2000 lbs which you can find at ua-cam.com/video/fHWH3aO9R44/v-deo.html
I also wrote an article about campers under 2,000 lbs at rvblogger.com/blog/best-small-campers-under-2000-lbs-with-bathrooms/
Hope that helps!

All are nice enough, but I would pick one of the last two for myself.
Hi Roy,
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Happy New Year!

Very nice review. These are in our size (22ft ish) / weight (3k lbs) range. Wasnt aware of some of these brand / floor plans. Appreciate the info.
Hi Thomas,
Glad you like them! We love to hear that we were able to show something new.

You should check out the various trailers from Taylor Coach (family owned business in Canada). They are extremely light and very well made (I have the 12' Bobbie model).
Hi Jonathan,
I have never seen one. I don't think they come to the RV shows here in the states and I've never seen one at a dealership. Maybe when the border re-opens and we visit Canada we can review one.
Thanks for watching and commenting and for the suggestion!

I liked the Gulf Stream Vintage.

We like the Vintage retro look too!

Thx so much! We liked the Winnebago. Ordered a 2021 Winnebago 2108ds, very similar to 2106 but taller and has Murphy bed

I liked the Jayco Jay Flight SLX`74BH ....BUT... i noticed that above the stove was the micro with no vent hood. I think all the heat from the stove is going to cause an issue there. I loved the last three models that had the slide out. We are going to be purchasing our first travel trailer and getting tons of great info from your videos, Thank You !!
Thank you so much Jordi! Definitely important to reduce moisture in a camper! Best of luck RV shopping. We are happy to help.
A lot of these videos I have noticed the bathroom doors do not reach the top or bottom. Is that just because these are models or are the actually open like that?
Hi ScentswithLonda,
Good observation...and you are correct. This is done to allow for proper airflow within the camper. Hope that makes sense...

Its almost like this video was meant for us. This past Tuesday our 2021 135 Retro was stolen in Vegas. Loved our small trailer. Looking forward to more videos. Not sure what future model we will choose.
So sorry to hear your Retro was stolen! That's really awful, that someone would do that. I hope your replacement works as well, and that this event doesn't affect you for very long. Best wishes on your future travels.
Hi Greengooseman,
oh no!!! So sorry to hear that!
We are firm believers that everything happens for a reason and we hope you find and even better trailer than the retro...
Keep us posted on whatever you decide to do to replace it.
And we hope you and your family have a very happy holiday season.

Gulf Stream Vintage Cruiser 19CSK is the best! The Forest River R-pod I like too. Good job, thanks!
Hi Vlad,
The Vintage Cruisers are soo cool looking and the R-Pods are super popular.
Thanks for watching and commenting!

Nice video. Nice trailers. Wish there were a couple in this class that had the open garage/toy hauler like the ones you showcased in the under3000. Makes it accessibility for wheelchairs much easier. Thanks for sharing.
Hi R,
We made several videos about toy haulers! Maybe you could check them out if you like. Here's a link to the entire playlist!
