This is my favorite small singles camper I've seen in a long time.
I like the netting. I also agree 100% on the no outside speakers. A bluetooth speaker is perfect.
TY. MFGs really should look at more portable speaker options vs. stereos
@@JoshtheRVNerd Yes, Lose the outside speakers!
Long ago I used to live on a boat that had a wet bath. When my buddy came to visit he was sitting on the "head" and he yelled out, "hay this is cool, I could shi* shower and shave and not have to stand up". :)
Your friend typically shi*'s standing up?
@@EbonKim : no, he showers sitting down 😶
I call it the "three S's -- but you can only do two at a time" lol
Boy, that door at the back might be a good way to carry a power scooter/power wheelchair but would definitely need some type of tiedown since some of those are heavy and could go flying to the front. The rear door could be very helpful to disabled persons such as myself. Cargo netting....generally I prefer doors but there are advantages to cargo netting as you can squish some awkward items into spaces using flexible storage bins. I agree about the two burner cooktop being placed vertically rather than horizontally. It would definitely leave space for a Keurig and I got to have my coffee in the morning no negotiations on that. As far as the microwave goes, I'm not sure.
I suppose it would depend upon how you plan on using the camper. If there were hookups or enough solar you could substitute a small toaster oven to do the baking. I might focus on using the cooktop and outdoor grill/griddle. The bathroom is small but functional. At least it isn't a wet bath! I do really like that rear storage door. I believe you did a video last week on another RV that had a similar setup but it was a larger trailer but it had the vertical storage underneath the bunks. Aside from a power wheelchair lift that I have seen in some classes, the RV manufacturing community has not really done anything to attract or support disabled persons who want to RV and camp. I think having a small ramp that you could wheel up a wheelchair/ motor scooter type item as well as finding a way to accommodate people getting in and out of the RV who have difficulty using steps would be to very big ways that disabled persons could be supported. Have you had many disabled people come into the dealership searching for an RV or expressing concern about not finding something that may accommodate their needs? In terms of getting in and out of the RV without using steps the only other thing I could think of would be to use a ramp or similar type of setup that some boats use with a ramp that somewhat folds in half and then could fold back into the camper for storage during travel. I just don't know what other options might be there. I think this would be a really great camper for a single person or as you said a single parent with maybe one child who also wants to maybe on non-child weekends might want to take it out kayaking or some other type of weekend getaway with friends as you mentioned. Another really nice trailer! Thanks Uncle Josh.
2x4’s, 2x6, fence boards, tents, water skis, portable tables and chairs, tents, car and boat parts, flea market stuff, small furniture, pet run fences, ladders, lamps, protest signs, tools, drones, R/C planes,trains,cars and boats, uncooperative kids, friends and family who have partied to much. Pets, big and small. Just a few of the things you can use this rear door long floor space camper for.
This is a great little trailer you can even tow with one of them new little Ford Mavericks with the 4K max tow package.
I am with you for dumping the external speakers.
And the side door has a window!
..that is a *brilliant* idea! wow!
Rockwood and Jayco raised the bar on small campers, Apex is answering the challenge. I'd prefer a full queen, and not crazy about two piece or bendy beds, but I'd make it work for camping. I like the small size, bigger is not always better, the comfortable but small market really has a lot to offer for those of us who have moved past the tent but don't want to tow a house trailer around. More choices and more competition is a good thing, it drives innovation and quality.
Agreed! I like seeing all the creativity they come up with in little spaces. Something like this for instance -- where else can you find an SUV towable camper that can actually hold a kayak without being a toy hauler?
There's a few, but man it's a short list!
For a solo person.. holy cow.. what a layout!
I was going to list all the things I like about this little one.
I'll just leave it as WINNER!
I truly never get tired of seeing comments like this. TY so much :)
This is so cool!!! I’ve been searching for something this size that has that rear trap door for my kayaks!!
Love your videos btw Josh. I’ve been watching them during my rough time with medical issues, it’s nice to see a bright smiling face in a cold world! So thank you for that.
I am glad to be able to bring a little sunshine to your day. Comments like this are something I value greatly as they really help me stay motivated and maintain my perspective.
There are times here where I feel overwhelmed by everything I'm doing, but then I remember there are folks with REAL challenges out there and the worst I can say is "I'm just so busy at work."
Makes you appreciate all the GOOD things you DO have in your life!
Love ❤ your videos and love your "voices". Keep being you! You brighten my day with your insight and entertainment. Your information is very helpful when deciding amongst all the options of rvs and trailers. Thank you!!
Wow, thank you!
I like this model. It’s got everything I need and still room for upgrades. Excellent video Josh.
:) :) :)
Thank you!! :)
"Smaller Hauler"
I like it!
Decent use of space. Love the rear cargo door. Tie downs and a place to hook a ramp to roll an ebike in, maybe even some E-track in the underbed rear area, would be great.
Agree once again! SOMETHING to secure cargo in a cargo space just... makes sense
Can you not just install some Drings in the floor under the bed on your own?@@JoshtheRVNerd
@@roniamarie difficult with a laminated floor structure. There’s not always something for a screw to bite into
This is the RV for me. I don't need a ton of stuff to enjoy myself and it has everything that I need to have fun. My truck can tow it with ease. i love it!
If I were alone, then I'd love a basic little camper like this. That LONG cargo space is a potential game changer
@@JoshtheRVNerd Yes it is a game changer. You can haul a good amount of cargo in a small RV.
Absolutely the coolest little camper ever!!! I can take this to the race track. This is small enough i can convert it in to a traveling garage.
I'm seriously impressed with all that outside storage. 👌 Be a great weekender or adventure camper.
Exactly! Thank you Roanna! :)
Cool😎 Suggest Lighted exhaust hood over stove and rear ladder.
Agree delete outside speakers.
I like seeing ladders on everything so you don't have to hard-sell me on that one! :)
I think this is a cute little travel trailer. It lite weight. It’s great for like a weekend trip. Thank you Josh.
Thx Sherri! Appreciate your visits every day :)
This I like. They start with the floor plan. Now I know the layout before all the other good stuff.
Thanks for the feedback! Always trying to improve. let us know what we're doing well and where we could improve!
Would ditch the cargo nets for doors all day long.
Hi Josh thanks for the good service & bye the way I like the beginning music 🎶 🎵 & the fire at the end thanks again
Lol…you made me spill my coffee on the bed comments! 🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I wish it had a better bed, I haven’t found a model that I like that has room for our kayaks yet.
Don’t even remember what I said but alright :)
More solar would be helpful. Even though there is no 12v fridge the furnace fan will suck batteries down. Camping in the early spring and late fall does often merit a bit of heat.
Oh sure. You always want to plan accordingly. Those furnace fans pull the batteries more than I think people realize
Nice little TT. Cargo netting not bad on this type of TT. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
Thx Ted. I have mixed emotions on cargo netting. I don't like seeing it in big stuff but in here it DOES feel okay
I was thinking with the sunshine shot "ahhhhh" too! LMAO yep like this model Gonna boondock forever so the less I hafta go for supplies the better. Am a bit disabled, but think I could handle it. Put a Murphy bed where that dinette is.
I love it!! It has a dog room...this has us (the dogs and me) written all over it... I have had little tiny O's on this one. Thank you!!! Edit: YES to the cargo netting in these instances.
Love it!! Really would make a great solo + 1 kind of camper
Solo + Dog
Solo + Friend
Single Parent + Kid perhaps
Neat little model. If my budget was lower, I would consider it. Prolly a good first timer, out of college, tour the country type of things. If you just need a place to sleep, this is the one.
I watched your video on the e-bike you tried out. Did some added research, looked at their “Black Friday” sale, and just ordered it. In their “how did you find out about us” question, I typed in “Josh, the RV nerd.” They should give you a special deal on some bikes. Then, because I helped you get a deal, I think it would totally appropriate for you to get me a great deal on a new trailer. However, I really like the trailer I have now so………….free pizza would great. Pepperoni, thin crust. Thank you in advance. 😆
Listen. Dude. You had me at pizza. lol
Enjoy that bike. Hope you like it as much as I've enjoyed mine :)
Really a neat RV Josh. Great for going off grid. Add just one Lithium battery and a extra panel on top and it would make a great little weekend warrior! Gotta love the double azdel....protects your investment!
Double Azdel will definitely never HURT you that’s for sure!!
I like this camper. Just would love it if they could/would flip the bed and the table seating. This would provide the adults being able to come and go outside while a kid was sleeping in the back of the RV.
It would take some "doing," but I could see something like that being an option..
I’m with you on get rid of the microwave in favor of another cabinet. But, the tiny bed is an absolute no go. Would rather have a wet bath and a 60” wide bed.
Wider bed would be nice. Just not sure there's room back there for it :(
I need the longer 80 inch bed more than I need the 60 inch bed. But 60x80 is the best.
I am in love with that small floor plan. Wish u were closer to view.
Very cool hybrid! Nice ~ 😃 (And 2 decent size sleeping areas; not bad for its compact size. And a very nice dry bath - with a window. Looks spacious. 👍)
Nice,I agree with you,
Outside speakers unnecessary.
Optional gas oven Needed.
Many like biscuits and gravy for breakfast.
There are two types of people:
1.) Those who like biscuits and gravy for breakfast
2.) Those who have not yet tried biscuits and gravy for breakfast
GREAT small camper! Bump the solar to at least 380w and a 12V fridge...
Wish those were available. You may find something like a Rockwood more to your liking. Sample: ua-cam.com/video/27ypsMjtSE0/v-deo.html
Wow!!! Did you see that water carrying capacity!!!! I agree, no outdoor speaker are ever necessary. It's totally possible to put a permanent mattress down and still put a couple of kayaks under it.
I'm really kicking myself for not mentioning it. That's some SERIOUS water capacity for such a small camper
How have I not seen these before? LOL! Really like the weights and measures of this one, plus the aluminum frame and Azdel. The floor plan is kind of a "meh" for me but it looks like it'd be easy to rework a bit. TBH, I'd probably gut out that whole back area and rework it to suit my needs. Maybe install a hammock instead of a bed. LOL! I think I need to look at more Apex Remote models...
Well they haven't been building a lot of them so it might've been easy to miss. They sort of remind me of a little more casual grade version of a Winnebago Hike 100 weirdo
I’m ok without an oven. would prefer a convection cooktop over the propane stovetop. But, lack of 12V fridge kills it for me.
I'd definitely like it to be an option 12v
Hum that would of been a Kool camper when I was camping with the kiddos. They had big wheels and those altho not heavy were bulky and being able to stuff them thru that back toy door would if been great! We could of put the mini fridge thru there, the coolers, the tent the screen tent, everything we loaded on the dinette in bed mode! We had lounge chairs, and an outdoor 10×10 rug to help keep the dirt outside the camper, we had portable tables the Coleman camp stove, we loaded our little camper up and had to climb in and out 500 times before everything was out as set up! That door is a game changer! Wish we could'a had it.
Really sounds like a good fun fit! I remember sleeping on one of those classic overhead cabinet/bunk convertible things when I was younger
Yup that's what the kiddos slept in till they got too big. I was always afraid they'd fall out, so I bought those toddler bed guard rails with the netting that slide under the mates and put 2 up there and no one fell out! I was a helicopter mom! Rarely let the kids outta my sight. They were accident prone both the boys and the girls!
really good experience here they were very helpful, thank you!
Our pleasure!!
I think this is a great and affordable alternative to an Outdoors RV, basecamp or Black-series. You don’t have to spend 70 grand to have a great time off grid :-). The only question I’d have is how well it would do in cold weather. Great video Josh.
Totally agree! It's not made for real cold extremes. You can get tank heaters on these but the holding tanks (especially the fresh tank) is bigger than the chassis height so they cannot be totally enclosed
Another great video with lots of information, I watch the ones for RV's I have little or no interest in just to learn more stuff!
Thank you man! That's such a big compliment. Appreciate it greatly :)
Nice little rig.
Thanks 👍
As someone who is 5'11, I totally appreciate the toilet and shower selfies!
Good :)
I still feel silly doing them. Sometimes my check in guy sees me doing it and laughs
@@JoshtheRVNerd I'd laugh at you too but it's still appreciated 😁😂
7:29 I like that, as it gives you more counter space❗️👍🏽 Good idea 💡😉
👍👍Thank you! Thank you!
Our pleasure :)
I like it. I think this one is a great "training travel trailer" for the young adult children or responsible teens to go along with the parent's fifth wheel or larger travel trailer.
Interesting thought.. it really does fit that bill nicely! A solo person or "outdoorsy" couple would likely have a great time in something like this
I like the side by side burners; I don't like reaching over something cooking if I can avoid it.
Makes sense!
Cool video I like that I want to see y'all sometimes beginning of the new year
Sounds good!
Be kinda nice if it had a full size door with Clear window and shade in the back with maybe an armless awning too. Is it necessary to have marker lights in the top on back? Also backup camera prep.
Armless awning is a really interesting idea on these. Especially off the back!
That's a nifty little trailer. Looking at the price it's pushing Rockwood Geo Pro territory which offer A LOT more features. That being said I love the minimalist design and flexibility of the gear locker.
Similar concepts in some areas. Checking price sheets these come in several thousand solidly below a Geo-type trailer which is why we like having them here. It allows us to be able to scale up/down to a client's preferences and budget!
𝔍𝔬𝔰𝔥 , loved your performance in season one of Daredevil👍🏻
Hahaha
Watch out for the 🤚🏻
This is the size id love to be aw to live full time in.
It would sure let you go just about anywhere you pleased!
EBIKE SUGGESTION:
Get a Sur Ron X or Segway x260, there ridiculous fun and worth the money.
Will look at them. I recently got a Lectric 2.0 but would love to try out one or two more sometime
That definitely is a nice trailer.
I think so too thank you
Great little weekender and/or hunting rig.
Agreed! Just something to get away and get recentered
Clever layout, but missed the mark with the 1/2 back door and lack of tie-downs. The nets work great for me - all compartments don't need doors 😊
Good call! Tie downs would be great!
I would load two mountain bikes back in the toy hauler area. Hanging two mtn bikes on the tree limb thing is a puzzle.
I'm not a big fan of those hanging things
I don’t like shower curtains- ever have, never will ;). I wish that back door was taller, it’s nice and wide tho ;). I would prefer a convection microwave every time, not that much bigger and so versatile. Agree on the cooktop, turn it ;). I am ok with a couple of netted cabinets but not that many. I am on the fence about that outside kitchen- not sure u can call it that with just a small griddle drawer. Nice size fridge, never like it when they put those tiny half fridges in. I think with a few tweaks it could be a great small towable camper, outside colors are nice and the big awning is always a winner. Thanks for the review- you always crack me up. Enjoy seeing new products and like the way you make them fun to watch!!
TY Donna! Part of me wonders if leaving that "camp kitchenette" space open for storage wouldn't be better.. but then you'd just re-fill it with something like a grill or griddle anyway I'd think
Josh, what about the driver's side storage? Fishing rod racks under the master bed.
It's a full pass-thru so that shouldn't be an issue!
Love your reviews, we watch then pretty regularly to see the new trailers out there. Trading in our Geo Pro 12rk sometime soon for a bigger stand up in trailer. Keep the videos coming. We would not have a problem driving far to buy a new trailer.
Thanks for watching, Lee! We have PLENTY of fun stuff yet to come. Looking forward to seeing you more down the line!
Awesome video Josh!
Thanks!
I like the microwave, but I don't like it when they're placed down underneath the counter. I like to have them at eye-level so I can see what's going on.
I don't mind the cargo netting.
I don't mind a round sink in this type of trailer, but this one looks small.
I would remove microwave to get more space.
This is a great ❤️ unit for one person with a little bit of equipment. Wondering if an electric bicycle would fit through rear door?
I know for a FACT it does -- I tested it with a Lectric 2.0 here in this video! ua-cam.com/video/0BXfcxK-nxk/v-deo.html
When you are talking solar and batteries now, you need to mention and or look into the solar charged battery pack like the Ecoflo. We got one to run our house when we have a power outage, and they are quiet and can run inside! Think the camper world needs to look into these now instead of the outdated car battery setup that is standard. Could make for a great upgrade. Not cheap but much safer than gas generators and eco friendly solar powered! Just wanted to share as we have not heard you mention these new solutions to power off grid.
"Not Cheap" is the delimiting factor I suspect. In a market space in which everyone already feels everything is overpriced anything working against that factor is quickly detrimental. And sadly not everyone understands cost vs value like it seems you do
You're not wrong about anything you've said. It would be better for sure. But this is the reasoning behind the "Why don't they..." question
Love our e-bikes!!!!
Nice! What do you have? I just got a Lectric myself
@@JoshtheRVNerd we have the Lectric bikes. They are so fun. They are having a pretty sweet holiday special right now.
@@missthready That's actually what I got. That better seat is a game changer
To me this looks like it was designed by someone who wanted to entice both the RV crowd and also the #VanLife crowd. I would make the following changes: Shelf doors that opened up towards ceiling. All of them would have doors except the area over the dining booth because you can't get a door to open there with the bathroom wall. (I really hate cargo netting.) I would figure out a way to lose the outdoor kitchen (but not the layout) by opening up the space from the inside (remove the front panel?) so that you have a little shelving there under the bed. some sort of drop down gate type of thing attached to the back of the bed to keep things back in the "garage" space. But it would be able to lie flush w/the back of the bed so that if you want to put in something long, you still can. I do wish the windows on either side of the bed were slightly bigger. Maybe even the addition of a longer window across the back too. And the front window should be bigger and also be made to open. Okay that's it. I'm done. :)
It's interesting you mentioned the vanlife ideas. I felt a similar resonance with that here when I went thru it as well. Especially that rear cargo door vs. the rear doors on many van setups where you'd often find a lounge/bed/dining kind of combo seat
It's a great lil' camper! I would prefer a propane stove, and remove the microwave. If I'm out in the middle of nowhere. I wouldn't want to use the extra power needed for a nuker. Even though I would cook outside as well, I would prefer an oven.
Thx Kelly!!
I agree 100% Kelly. This is my favorite camper layout by far mainly for the full bathroom (not a wet bath). But as you said for the cooking i could do without the microwave. If I was going remote for 2-3 days I would plan and prep to do all meals outside on the grill. I perfer it actually. Easy to bring some steak or chicken, flour tortillas for wraps etc.. and my go to a skillet on the grill for bacon and eggs
@@Middle850 I want to come eat at your campsite lol
Hi Josh, for E bikes, I would recommend the Aventon E pace 500. It is much lighter than other E bikes with its power and range at 47 lbs, can give you 40 miles of range amd a top speed of 28 mph. I ise mine to commute 30 miles per day and it's a really fun way to get to work, get a workout and conserve on gas.
Radpower makes a good e bike if you want more customization ability, want to haul stuff, and if you don't mind the weight.
Will keep these in mind. After I had recorded this I got my hands on a Lectric and have enjoyed it. The weight has been my biggest concerning factor but I haven't found it to be an issue either
Lectric eBike. Expecting mine to be delivered any moment.
Congrats! That's what I have now as well
Mama like. Windows and a troll door? 😻
Troll door lol
Any other floor plans coming from this line? I love the water tank sizes for a small camper but a bit larger bed would be most excellent.
Would be neat if they could offer a drop down style camp queen like some of the toy haulers with the gas shocks to keep the price and weight down. With the bed up out of the way it would offer good storage on the bed underway, and lots of storage underneath as well.
Apex has a whole lineup, but the "Remote" mini-series has only one other layout of which I'm aware at this time. Then you start rotating into the "Nano" series
Well where was this for me summer of 21’ lol this is wayyyyy better than the Rpod we took out. Washroom is luxury compared to a wet bath, a surprising amount of storage and counter space! Bed is fine for size for the few days you’re out with it. I
Wonder how large the awning is. Could definitely pull this with a grand Cherokee V8 tow package.
Cherokee V8 should make a great pairing for sure! Here's specs including awning -- enjoy!
Hitch 330 lb.
Empty 2,910
Cargo 920
Max 3,830
Length 19' 7"
Height 9' 10"
Width 7'0"
Fresh 50gal
Gray 35gal
Black 35gal
Awning 12ft
Heck I could tow this with my V6 Cherokee with tow pkg!
Dang this little guy has huge tanks!
I know! I'm annoyed I forgot to talk about it
Love the lighter decor, but an impossible to make east west bed with a dinette floorplan is a total dealbreaker😔 Now, if you could just put a comfortable sofa and portable table across the front wall, then👍👍👍
Front sofa would be interesting...
0:10 😯 a 50 gallon fresh tank on a tiny travel trailer 🤩 👍🏽 👍🏽
YEP! I'm kicking myself for failing to discuss that.
A nice small camper for short term camping. Great storage.It would be good for smaller camping areas or boondocking. My big thing is the east west bed but, in this small of a camper what else could you do?
Agree with all of this and man.. can I say how much I appreciate your understanding of the bed orientation vs. the size of the camper? It seems to be a rare thing
Didn't you just get an e-bike? Or was this filmed and posted out of order, like my brain usually is?
I don't think the full bed would be a dealbreaker for me. Despite my height, I had a full bed up until a few years ago, and I made it work!
I'm a fan of cargo netting, at the very least it doesn't bother me. Plus it definitely gives it more of an "off grid" feel I guess.
Agree it could use a narrower cooktop like the Wolf Pups.
I've already told you this, but don't ever stop doing the toilet and shower selfies! Incredibly useful for other big guys, so we can see how well a tall body fits into those spaces.
LOL @ the cobweb!
I like this, but man if I'm being honest this whole video I kept checking out the Wolf Pup in the background!
Yeah I had this pre-recorded. THEN got my hands on that Lectric eBike. THEN, showed myself loading that same bike into this very camper lolol
I have a rollout schedule that sometimes gets wonky looking when it's THIS far backlogged
I still have a couple of videos about to roll out with green leaves on the trees and me wearing shorts despite the leaves being gone and me wearing a coat with hoodie under it right now... Welcome to #PureMichigan
@@JoshtheRVNerd haha well you know this is Michigan, I stepped outside this morning expecting it to be in the 30s, but it was actually in the 50s. I might get out of work and find out it's warm enough to visit Lake Michigan. 🤣 Can't put those leaves back on the trees though!
@@hallraker79 No. Instead they're all over my yard lol
@@JoshtheRVNerd I'm lucky, the shape of my lot and the nearby fencing allows the wind to funnel all the leaves into my neighbors yard. 🤣
Doesn't do much for the pine cones though, my mower picks those up and launches them like hand grenades! 😳
@@hallraker79 hahahahaha
The fresh water and holding tanks are great for boondocking and dry camping, but the short bed is a deal breaker.
What's odd is this USED to come with an 80" bed. They added that little boxy headboard. I don't think the camp kitchen juts up into that space. It's possible you may be able to remove the headboard, then put in a longer bed.
Hey Josh, this does look a lot lighter but I have 2 boys me and my wife so I need the bunks
they have a new "remote" series coming that may have something for you
Definitely a propane oven instead of a microwave. What good is a microwave off the grid
I have to agree personally
What's the width of that rear door? Would love to have one to haul my dirtbike without having to spend a ton of money on a proper toy hauler
I don't seem to have that spec in a guide anywhere. Our team would be happy to measure it out real quick of course. I know I was able to fit in a folding eBike into without worrying about bashing stuff
Josh...don't look now but you might have a spider web hanging off of you!!
I totally looked
i bought a lecrtic e-bike and love it
Ah congrats! I just got one myself! ua-cam.com/video/0BXfcxK-nxk/v-deo.html
Rad Power Bikes. Bought them for my husband and myself this year for bow hunting. Was a game changer. My husband does NOT do the bike thing...he DOES do the Rad Power Bike.
Hi marks there! Thank you!
I would actually like to put one of these on a scale and see what it’s true empty weight is without fluids on board. Both fresh and used.
I don’t use brochure weights in my specs btw. I publish the the factory scaled weights in those spec charts
Do you think the guys in your shop could do a slight modification to that rear door, by widening it so I could mount a wheelchair lift? The openings on the sides would probably be the right width, but one of them would probably have to be the height of the window. Of course, It would require building a larger door, but it doesn't have to be made of the same material. as the rest of the unit. The outside of the door could be covered with a sheet of black plexiglass, to match the colors of the windows.
If it affects the structure of the RV like that, then we refrain from getting into it. I'm sure it could be done, but it's not the kind of work we're comfortable or experienced doing.
I like it.
Awesome! Thank you
Shoilet. Dude, you kill me. And now that's what they'll be called in my world forever and ever.
If there's a microwave that my private parts have the best view of I'd rather see a drawer-style nuker.
I'm totally with you on the Bluetooth speaker. We have the horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible iRV 34 stereo in our camper and we don't even bother to ever turn it on. We use a JBL Clip instead.
I'm actually totally unfamiliar with a drawer-style microwave. Do you have a link where I could see one? Have you two reviewed something like that before?
Josh, how can a mount and TV be installed if anyone plans to stow the bed up???
Frankly.. I don't think it could. Would likely need to be taken down. I don't think TV watching was their primary focus when making this one
@@JoshtheRVNerdApparently, not. 😉 Thanks for the reply!
Off topic.
What is the shortest 5th wheel available? I have a 3/4 ton truck so weight isn't an issue and we want as much interior space as possible. Triple slide 23 or 24' maybe.
We currently have a class A but are considering moving to a tow behind. Not looking for the lowest price nor a Mercedes.
I have watched about a million videos and have seen a lot that we like in some ways but none that check off all the boxes.
Shortest FW available is likely not within our lineup so I likely don't know the actual answer here. At our place the TOTAL length of a small fifth wheel starts around 28ft
great video
Well TY :)
“Fart Fan” 😂🤣😂🤣🤣

If it had ring ties in the floor it would be awesome
Had similar thoughts - at least under that bed
Cabinet doors instead of netting above the bed would be better.
I do prefer doors where possible as well. TY Richard. Appreciate the visit and sharing your thoughts!
I hate the cargo nets, no place for a trash can, if this is for "off grid" then there should have been a propane oven. I agree, in most cases those outside speakers sound horrible anyway. I'd preferer a rear 250 LB. rated hitch so I could carry 2, 65 LB. ebikes. A simple hitch extension would get you out beyond the spare tire. Some D rings mounted in the floor would have been great.
The D-rings really feel like they'd benefit this one for sure.
I don't like the cargo netting. Things look to cluttered without doors. The cubbies above the dinette could have sliding doors. Agree that a front to back stovetop would be better and not a fan of the tiny round sink since it's the only sink in the trailer. A lot of mfgs have the storage behind the outdoor cooktop which is a waste of space unless you enjoy getting burned. I would like to see them move the cooktop up and have the storage under it. Also, if they are going to call this a Remote model and market it as off-road it should have a 12v fridge and an upgradeable solar setup. I would rather have a solar hook up for a more powerful solar system and pay extra for the panels. All that being said, this is a great little trailer. Love the bike rack and pass through storage. The toy lock is cool too and the bike rack is awesome. Love the flip up bed/toy hauler feature. I would flip the bed up and have a counter extension on hinges and use it as a mobile office area. Love the ledge and storage area there. You could easily put your office supplies in the nook and put your monitors on the ledge. Move your laptop over at night and pull the bed down. I would also rather see the TV mount on that wall since the door wouldn't really work with the TV mount where it is. The trailer could make better use of the space and not overkill the windows. The appeal to me is that it can be towed with a smaller vehicle and sits high for off-roading. Great video. Thanks for the great work!!
Thx for watching Lorrie. I agree there's a few disconnects regarding the "remote" features vs. the equipment but I feel like they're on their way to getting things more lined up
OMG! I’m shocked. No slideouts. No tootsie toaster. No recliner or jack knife sofa. Just one radio. If you know, why does the coachmen website list this trailer as temporaily limited production? The last still pictures on the Haylett website seems to show separate black water and gray water drains. Are the drains combined? There’s no good picture or discussion of the forward hookups. Does the rig have a black tank flush or is it a magic wand only rig?. Walkable roof? As to the rear driver side storage it looks like a perfect place to store a small 2000 watt propane fired generator. Respectfully, WS
They're making these but still not making FREQUENT runs of the "Remote" series due to the overwhelming backlog on things like their Nano models. Without hopping out to the rig I couldn't say for sure about the outlets. I think it's a single outlet but maybe with a big fresh water drain in the front. I'd have to verify and don't want to say "that's for sure."
I do believe it does have a black flush but again I'd want to verify.
Roof is walkable but no allowances for ladder from the factor or after
Hey Josh, will you be purchasing a new Ford Maverick? A Maverick 2.0L Ecoboost with the tow package is rated at 4000lbs.
How could anything ever replace my amazing Kia Soul? 😂
Great video. Would a 2020 Pacifica with the trailer tow package be able to handle this beauty? TIA.
I cannot recommend it. This RV's GVWR (aka max weight with cargo) exceeds that vehicle's 3,600lb Max towing.
You're required to safely handle the trailer's GVWR legally speaking
@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks for answering, that makes perfect sense. Wish that I didn't love my Pacifica so much, lol.
I have one my complaint it the height. It needs to 3" taller. I am 120lbs and can barley set at it.
Looks like you guys are starting to get RVs on the lot again?
Yeah we had a nice month or two of some steady arrivals. Instead of 2-3 per *week* we started seeing 4-5 *per day*
That's slowed a bit recently on average. I suspect certain things discussed in our last industry update may be affecting new production right now
Here's that update video if you're curious ua-cam.com/video/3uYvM6aciME/v-deo.html
@@JoshtheRVNerd thanks
I know I say this on almost every one of your videos, but I want this. LoL. Just so you know, I sent a hot shot (Electric cattle prod) to one of your employees. I told him every time you say stindard, instead of standard, to shock you - LOL. I have gone from wanting a big Rockford 5th wheel to keeping my 4runner and getting something small. I have made 24 payments on my 2020 and hate to get rid of it with only 8,900 miles on it. 5,000 towing capacity on it. Do you think it would pull this unit with no worries?
haha -- I love hearing it. Thank you!
just remember I'm going to turn that hot shot around on you every time you say Rockford instead of Rockwood so... ;)
Regarding 4Runner towing.. I think I actually have *GOOD NEWS* for you!
The max weight of this is just over 3,800lbs WITH CARGO.. so your vehicle would have about a 1,200lb buffer and not be "burning your candle at both ends" as it were
@@JoshtheRVNerd lol, good one, can I blame spell check? Wink. That is good news, it would be so hard to sell my 4Runner.
What is the official way they measure trailer frontal area? Is the gap between the ground and the bottom of the trailer included in frontal area calculations? And do they include all the stuff sticking out of the top of the roof, lice a/c units, solar arrays, vents, antennas and skylights and stuff hanging off the sides like awnings, fenders, racks and such?
The reason I ask, is a number of smaller lighter tow vehicles also include a frontal area size limitation in there tow ratings. Like 20, 35 or 40 square feet of area. In short, a trailer might be light enough, but have to much front facing surface area for wind drag.
That’s not a measurement I’ve ever seen from a factory nor has anyone ever asked me that before. It’s a great question but I do not have the answer
