Hi Everyone, We hope you enjoyed our video! Which small camper with no dinette did you like best? Do you prefer a small or larger travel trailer? Please say hello by leaving a comment below and sharing you opinion about these RVs!
Enjoy the small details you cover which are puzzling and sometimes important, i.e., location of air conditioning or why are there 5 knobs on your stove. 👍
Thank you so much! We try to give helpful tips or point out features that might help someone's research or decision making. Thank you for much for your support!
Forest River Flagstaff Micro Lite 25FKBS is the most interesting of these three to me. I like that kitchen situation. However, the dinette free arrangement I'd like to see is a non slide out with a pair of seats facing outward towards a picture window with fold down desk/table. Something I see as a combination of working desk and shallow table for for eating. One where looking out at the view is emphasized over facing an internal television from recliner chairs.
I love your "dinette free" floor plan idea! A breakfast nook/workstation at the camp side with a huge window! 👍Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
#3 is stellar, IMO. I love the kitchen layout. Nice big window, counter space, deep pantry and a great sink. Wonderful storage cabinets and great recliner seating/sturdy tables for dining. I like the corner bathroom and how it's been designed with the sliding doors. The bathroom sink looks cheap but you can replace it. #2 has a super bedroom with drawers underneath the bed, space for skis or long items and it could also be used for a dog bed area. I wish this was included with #3 because then it would be perfect.
We love the front kitchen of the Flagstaff and the bed of the Northern Spirit. Combining those two would be awesome! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
Re coachman Spirit 1943RB nice well thought out Camper, love the ceiling height for shower, hard pressed to find that, but impossible to bend over enough to wash the back side lol for someone thats 6.5 tall.
I liked the Forest River travel trailer without dinette. I can live with out a dinette. When we camped we ate outside all time. Ate inside if it rained. I this thus one because it’s spacious and has plenty storage. And the bedroom is nice size. Don’t like the radius shower but it’ll do. Thank you Mike and Susan for showing these Rvs.
I was thinking the shower height of the first one was definitely too low! The other two looked okay. What about the water storage amounts and potential ease or difficulty of adding fresh water and emptying the used water?
We don't include tank capacity or use in our videos. Since we tour 3 RVs in one video we keep them brief and discuss floor plan and interior functionality. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting! @@deborahelaine6701
Hmmm...we have shot quite a few of those but we never made a video with both features. Might be too narrow of a search term... I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion! Mike
The last one is my favorite because of the separation for the bedroom, but not sure about the bathroom configuration. Guess you gotta pick your battles. 🤷♀️😂
Could you guys do a review on the Salem and Wildwood travel trailer? Saw a small little clip, and it looks really remarkable. Would love to see what you folks think, and see a throughout review.
The Salem and the Wildwood travel trailers have several different floor plans. We probably have shot a few in the past but I'm certain we did at the Hershey show last week so some will be coming soon. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
Nice video, enjoying the work you two do! BTW, running a 2 way fridge on propane down the road is legal except for a few tunnels and ferry crossings. Obviously 12V charges on the tow vehicle pig tail so that is a great travel option, but I like the 2 way fridges for off grid camping and long trips. I went from Portland Or to MT Lassen in California on a week trip in a single propane tank Jayco 184bh and ran a 2 way fridge the whole week on the same propane tank. Mind you, it was summer and 90 degree days, so the only propane use was a little hot water for dishes, the fridge, and a few uses of the stove top.
Thank you very much! That is true about propane fridges, though I wonder how many people follow that law. I would imagine your one propane tanks should last quite a while if you are only powering your fridge, and a few minor appliances. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
That's why we love finding great floor plans without dinettes. Love the extra living space you get! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
We have RV tour videos for small campers with no slide outs too. Here's a link to one if you are interested. ua-cam.com/video/LQQJ0UUMYbg/v-deo.html Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
Mike can you please tell us whether you can move around in the trailer from back to front with the slide closed. If you have to spend the night in a parking lot putting the slide out is not always possible. Thanks.
Sorry we didn't include that information. We tend to shoot our videos at dealerships and RV shows where we can't close the slides. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
@@RVBlogger Would it be possible to measure the depth of the slide out to get an idea of far in they come when closed? And what is potentially blocked when it's closed?
@@paigeakinsulevich721 yes that would definitely be an option. However we didn’t demonstrate that in our most recent RV show tours. We certainly consider it moving forward. Thank you!
neat this is great i like it i feel dinetts could be like tv tray type and i like this compact and tiny way it is like a efficiatecy and open like you say have great day
So glad you like the concept of a travel trailer without a dinette. We use table trays in our RV! It's a great solution. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
I really like that Flagstaff Micro Lite one small Improvement I would make on it is those side tables it would be nice if they would rotate and went flush against the wall somehow maybe just like a pin in the bottom. But definitely not a deal-breaker
That's great! Some bathroom showers are just way too small. Glad you liked this one. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
the one shower sit in it type i am thinking on is a walk in and close door water holding door for bath but of course you sit on it or shower can use as a jacoosy as well for ususlay older people in homes not trailers but i think it would be a thought for yall to look at it i think you would agree .but sure could not use as tolet for it drains maybe would inspire for invention some sort thanks for letting me comment billie it is a one person at a time kind of shower .
I know the type of bath/shower your are referring to. That might be a bit heavy for a TT but definitely a cool concept for manufacturers to think about. Thanks for the suggestion Billy! We appreciate your support!
sit down shower is better and would be nice to see one of those sit down like go in a home bath tube or shower inds stall door let s just get expencesive k
You're the first request we've had for fridge size. We show the exterior and interior of the fridge so you can see first hand. I guess if you see a floor plan you like you can check the manufacturers website for that information. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
Is the Forest River a "repeat" or did you find another "under chin" shower ? The under cabinet slide for the sink cover is brilliant ! On your diagram for the Flagstaff had a "hide a bed" ? Finally, I saw a video the other day of someone at the Hershey show and in the kitchen area there was a backsplash that protected THE SIDE WALL that you mention could get damaged !! You were the first person I thought of !! Thank y'all for all you do !!
Hi Darryl. We included the Geo Pro in this video too to showcase the no dinette feature. The hide a bed sofa comes standard in this RV, the theater seating is an upgraded model. We are starting to see more campers with the backsplash on the cabinets now too! 🤣 Thanks for thinking of us! We appreciate your support!
@@RVBlogger All 3 of those are awesome ! I'm at that super model height of...5'6" (LOL) so the low shower is no problem. Also, the prices for any of the 3 is very reasonable ! Thanks again for all y'all do !
🤣 I'm only 5'1" nothing is too low for me! The RV show prices at Hershey were awesome! We're going to see things turn around soon. Thank you for all your support!@@darrylalford8879
We agree and we actually reviewed that travel trailer in this video ua-cam.com/video/lsAtgcOLoug/v-deo.html Thank you for liking our videos! We appreciate your support!
We have a 166 FBS. Only gripes are a full instead of queen bed and the potable water fill is on the passenger side instead of near the other utilities.
Love the kitchen in the second one ! Question, do sellers rent a trailer by the week ? Would love to give it a try, but would love to rent one to see if we like it. Thanks, love your reviews.
Thank you! So glad our tour videos are helpful. Some dealerships may offer rentals. There are companies that provide RV rental by owner like Outdoorsy but you probably won't find the specific RV you are looking for. Here's a link to Outdoorsy if you would like to check it out (we also have a 7% discount with our link) goto.rvblogger.com/Outdoorsy. Thank you for support!
I'm pretty sure the radius showers are good for smaller people. I'm 59 and my girlfriend's 53 and we're both slight of build I'm about 160 and I would say that I'm about as big as could comfortably fit in there. I wouldn't want 2 full-time live with that shower but for a week or weekend or short span it would be more than acceptable. But if you're a bigger person I could understand the issues
We haven't used the radius shower but many have said it's not as comfortable as a rectangular shower. From what I understand bending over isn't easy 🤣 I think I agree with you. Thanks Scott!
hmm getting rid of the dinette seems like an okay idea if there is enough space to cut, cook and serve food. Kinda pointless having a large stove top and oven when you're not going to want to use them due to not having anywhere to do prepare food.
Hi Everyone,
We hope you enjoyed our video! Which small camper with no dinette did you like best? Do you prefer a small or larger travel trailer? Please say hello by leaving a comment below and sharing you opinion about these RVs!
Any camper that still sleeps the same but doesn't have a dinette is my aspiration!!
Sweet! We love the no dinette option! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!

3rd for me! Micro-lite 25FKBS, the extra closet space, cool kitchen, that’ll work! ❤
And that front kitchen...love they layout! Thanks Erin!

Oh my goodness, love the Flagstaff , just what I need, it’s so well laid out, ,thanks Mike and Susan .
You're welcome Mildred! So glad you love it! Thank you for your support!

That is sometimes a negative in a corner shower setup unfortunately! Great point Technocrat!

I saw you on Rv tv this morning. You were showing a Shinook. It was a nice one too!
@@sherriweber7105 it’s now on Amazon fire so we can start watching too! 🎉
@@RVBlogger
Oh how nice! That ought to be nice to see you guys on there. You both are famous now! Lol! 😂😂
@@sherriweber7105 you are great for our ego Sherri! ❤️😂
Oo 😯 the first one has an oven and a microwave! But the shower height is a deal breaker.

The coachmen is my new favorite floor plan.
The storage in the Northern Spirit was amazing! Love that concept! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
Hey Mike and Susan! I like the last one best. Probably bc it’s the biggest. But I really like the layout. But I’d take any of the three.
❤️💜💚
The front kitchen in that Flagstaff is awesome!! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
Those are all nice! Thanks!
You are welcome! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
I am not fond of dinettes - they are not comfortable. I rather have a power theater seat and no dinette.
That's why we love finding great floor plans without dinettes. Love the extra living space you get! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
You gave great information and showing the features👍
Thank you so much! So glad you found our RV tour video helpful!

The FR Flagstaff Micro 25FKBS fride looks like it has the doors that open both ways.
Yes, you can usually swap the way they open. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!

I completely agree! The side tables needed some modification.
I've had both types of showers and I much prefer the rectangular over the radius.
Thank you for sharing information since you have had experience with both. We've only had rectangular. Thanks for your support AlaskaErik!
Its camper the shower is big enough for a small shower stool so it works for me.
That's great! Some bathroom showers are just way too small. Glad you liked this one. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I’d like to have #3 with the #2 bed. I like the way the bed is in #2
Love the bed and storage on the Northern Spirit!! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
I'm just not sure I'm sold on the 12v fridges. I'd like to hear what folks who mostly boondock think of them and if they work well for boondocking.
Great question. They are definitely a drain on your solar vs the propane style fridge. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
