Hey Diane,
We appreciate the love and support!!! Love to hear when people enjoy what we're doing!!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
having a dump and taking a shower at the same time, the dream.
Lol! I guess that would be the most efficient way to use a wet bath!
Never thought of that but you made me laugh!
Mike
🤣
Good spot to chop up some veggies too!
😂😂🤷
Ohhh man this is the best comment ive seen in awhile, thanks for the laughs man!
That Nucamp is absolutely perfect. The prep room around the sink is unmatched. And that wet bath with the sink is clever. 👍
NuCamp does a great job with their floor plans and maximizing space. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I’ve been researching campers and new camp is the way to go. You get what you pay for. And they know what they’re doing building these things.
The Nucamp T@b I think is actually my favorite. I think they made the most of all the space and it still includes everything with a nice modern spacious feel. Thank you for doing this! It’s awesome to be able to shop by weight since that’s what a lot of people have to do when they already have a vehicle and then need to add a camper. Thanks so much for making this video!👍🏼

Thank you for the review, you guys are showing just what we are looking for. I have a outback and have 3,000 lb max for towing. My wife wants ONE thing out all these, a BATHROOM. The inTech with the panoramic view is my favorite.

Last year my wife & I bought a Sonic 149VL. It's a great little trailer 14' 9" and weighs 2960 lbs. I'm 6'6" & 270lbs and I fit in it nicely. The kitchen is in the rear by the door, the queen bed is up front, it has a small leaf dining table and full size toilet with separate shower (no sink). We love it. Thanks for the video, Great job!!!
Sounds like an awesome trailer!

This is an awesome review! We just bought the Coleman Latern LT 17B, identical floorplan to the Coachmen Clipper 17BH. It has a big shelf over the queen bed, an electric fireplace below the sink, the mircrowave is relocated over a slightly smaller fridge, and a window at the bottom bunk rather than the door. These little 17 bunkhouse trailers are amazing for a family with smaller kiddos!! I really appreciate your down to earth review of reasonable trailers that most of us common folk can actually afford and tow!
Thanks Brian!!!

Regarding the first trailer’s stove positioning- totally makes sense because before you talked about it, we were saying how awkward it was that the door swings against the stove. But since the stove is on the other side, that leaves the door area free to go in and out. 🙌👍
Hi Shaun,
It does make sense - it just seemed weird to me for some reason. Probably because the cooler opened one way and the stove opened the other...

I was thinking the same thing but turn the fridge around so they are on the same side. Also, if you have guests over under the awning you won't have your back to them while you're cooking.
Great job on all the trailers!! But the #2 was my favorite with the tub❤❤❤and also the layout was just perfect❤❤❤
Every time you do a video on trailers I hold my breath when you come to part of the. bathroom😍😍😍Many Thanks to you and Susan for Sharing.
Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for watching! Wait until our video about luxury 5th wheels comes out! You will see some amazing bathrooms then!

Nice review video. The NuCamp Tab 400 Solo is my favorite of these. I currently have the Forest River No Boundaries 16.5. Dry weight just under 3000, 20 ft long. It has a great u-shaped dinette at the front, surrounded by 3 very large windows, ideal for me because I always want to look outside at the view. The queen bed in the back also has 3 windows. It is very rugged built, great for boondocking.

Thanks for making this! I've got an 09 grand cherokee capped out @ 3500lbs towing and looking for something under 3k lbs! Been eyeballing the rpods a lot, but this video made me reconsider while looking at the Tabs! Have seen a few and bypassed them, but the more I look the more I like them! Looking for one for myself and my wife.. the storage window snapping back and your reaction was priceless too lol thanks for sharing again!

We appreciate the love and support, good luck on your search! :)

I like the layout of the Tab 400 in this video….
It has both a decent closet AND a decent fridge too.
Best part was the sleeping area.
It slides out so if you’re going solo you can stretch out on the couch without sliding the whole bed open.
Great video guys!

I love the Nu Camp RVs, we just don't have any dealerships down here where I live.The designs are just so cool, with the window when you lay on the bed, nice ambulance feature and huge windows I love that it makes it so nice...And I don't mind the wet shower, live that little window in bathroom you forgot to show us, I could barely see, but usually they have like little vent type window..! Thanks..I didn't like any of the others..really in love with Nu Camp.
Thank you for showing us around,appreciate it! Yes and the comment about short and sweet is true, I literally have to speed up the video sometimes on other people cuz they drag things out, good job, you guys!
Hi Rising Phoenix,
Glad you like the NuCamp. We think its pretty cool too.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Mike and Susan
And we love you! We're glad you like our campers. You may be able to work with one of our dealers to get a model shipped to you or just visit your closest dealer when on a road trip. Plus, you could always visit our factory!
Nice roundup. I grew up with soft top trailers and Im not fond of the fold out beds on the hybrids. We have the older version of the Coachmen Clipper 17BH, a Coachman Northern Spirit17RD 3450 lb dry ( very similar to the Catalina). Its perfect for the 2 of us and tows pretty decently behind my Honda Ridgeline with a WDH and Brake Controller. Anyone looking at small trailers, please try to keep your weight well below your vehicle limits. By you time you add water and basics of life, you can push the envelope pretty quickly. Remember Dry Weight means not a spoon, towel or piece of T.P !!!

The wife and I have an order in on a Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup 16FQBL; which fits this category of travel trailer. There's only the two of us and we're height challenged. But, this trailer has almost everything one would need: full back bathroom, dinette, 2-burner stove, 10cf 12v 2-door refrigerator/freezer, deep stainless steel sink, A/C, heater, (murphy) queen bed w/sofa, good storage, outside shower, outside refrigerator, electric awning, etc. So excited about our first trailer.

I am 6' 5", 350 pounds, and I can move around this camper with no issues.

The stove top is faced that way because it always your partner to get in/out of the camper with ease.

Thank you for this review, very informative.
I like the table that can be removed and used outside. I like that you stood in the shower to show the size, that was helpful.

I have the KZ 130RBSE, which I first learned about when you profiled it in your "8 Small Campers With a Bathroom" video. I just got it in December, so I haven't towed it with my Jeep Wrangler yet, but I have used it several times with my Silverado and it has pretty much lived up to my expectations.

NuCamp also includes two 6v deep cycle batteries, an inverter, ducted AC, among other things that i don’t think any of the others had. You do pay a premium for them, but you get a quality trailer that will probably stand the test of time.

Can't believe the prices on most of these. As you can get much more and cheaper. I do realize some would like for smaller SUV'S etc. That's where I am as I find out my Honda CRV AWD has NO Towing Capacity. So now looking at ones with truck like I grew up with Grandparents camping & fishing with. These and some Van's are really awesome.

You do a great job on all your videos! That last one seemed like you could stand up comfortably in the shower! It seems like they should be more observant on how high the showers are! I am 6 feet tall ! Years ago I had a 35 ft RV even that had a bathroom I was not happy with as for as shower hight:(
Hi thetiler,
Thanks for the kind words! We appreciate you watching our videos and your comments too!
Shower height makes all the difference. RV showers are already small to begin with and if they aren't tall enough it just makes the whole shower no good.
Thanks again and keep in touch!
Safe travels,
Mike and Susan
Shower height can certainly be an issue! We did try to design our bathroom to allow for the shower to accommodate taller campers.
I like the efficiency of the nu camp layout. Talk about the ultimate night lounging camper ... you have full access to the fridge in bed. :)

And a fridge next to bed sounds like a great idea to me too!

Thanks for the great video! I just bought the Clipper 17bh, I pick it up in two days. Glad to hear your evaluation of it. Our only concern is the little door too! I bought a battery operated window alarm at harbor freight for it because of my 9 year old. I'm hoping to stay a step ahead of him!

That little door looks like it would or could be used as an emergency exit door in case of a fire.
on the first trailer, the stove top cover opens the other way so you are not blocking the door while cooking. thanks for the reviews!

Great observation, I also considered perhaps its angles that way so you can "face" the party, instead of the cook having to have their back turned, and because the breeze will have an easier time carrying fumes away from the trailer on the side. Your likely correct though!
Like the nuCamp. Nice design. Cabinets look sturdy. Would enjoy seeing if Oliver makes a small one.
Hey TravelDreamer,
We like that one too!

Great review I really like the Rpod 189 as it's just a touch over 3000lbs and I have a jeep cherokee as well also the Geo pro has one very simular
Hi Paulo,
The Jeep should be able to handle either of them with no problem!

I love the Winnie Hike
Hi Libellula,
That's a good one!

Nice list! I'm surprised no Rockwood GeoPros made it though. They look nice, are built to go offroad and come with basic inverters and solar panels already installed. I do love the Sol Dawn. The only reasons I'd still take the GeoPro over it are the inverter and the fact that I'd have to go from dinette to bed every night.
Hi Alexis,
I remember there was a GeoPro at the show when we shot this video but I can't remember why we didn't include it in the video...
Thanks for watching!

the coachman clipper 17bh is such a great little trailer. we're hopefully switching to a full size RV so we can pull it.

I have been looking at a lot of small trailers and I think I really like the little guy max. not too sure about the price tag that comes along with it but love the lay out of it.
Hi Linda,
The little Guy Max is a cool trailer. Some folks we know lived in one full time and loved it.

That Nu Camp trailer looks amazing!
nuCamp does an amazing job with their quality construction and floor plans. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
We're shopping around and starting to research; I have to say I'd rather ditch the bathrooms since we're intending to use them mostly in campgrounds/public land where you at least have pit toilets available.
I *would* like to know how they heat though; I like winter camping. Going out and hiking or snowshoeing on a cold day is awesome...but a cold unheated tent overnight is less so!
Also trying to find small ones that can sleep two adults and two kids is harder than I expected. I don't want to haul a 24' trailer! Or pay for one.
Hi Paul,
Everyone is different. Susan and I were just chatting the other night and we were saying we would never buy an RV without a bathroom. But we also know plenty of folks who stay at campgrounds with bathrooms and don't need or want a bathroom in their RV. Luckily - there are plenty of RVs to choose from.

Ok trailer with tent I consider pop up. Good fair whether, but did tent camping10 years as Boy Scout leader.
Ones with slides look interesting, as more real estate inside. These videos help me know what I want.
Figure 1st rent travel trailer my car can tow. 2nd no tent. 3rd. Big comfy bed no bunks. Finally big fridge.
Hey James,
That's some great criteria for a camper :)

Yes. great video. I want small travel trailers. they are not made well and they break the bigger they get. Besides, I'm an OUTSIDE camper.
Hi Davion,
All right! Another tent guy!
But ever since I RV'd i've been hooked.
Thanks for watching!

I am a fan of the R Pods. I've looked a lot (online) and always come back those. The 180 is my favorite floor plan. So, I like this R-Pod also. The NuCampT@Bs are great, but expensive for the size class.
Hi Connie,
Lot's of folks really like the R-Pods and NuCamps.
We always recommend buying used so you can save some money. The first 3 years will be the most amount of depreciation so your best deal will be to buy something a few years old.
And if you want to buy new - be prepared to negotiate.
Thanks for watching and commenting!

We're glad you like our TABs, Connie! We do have a bit of a higher price point because we focus on quality, with all our campers being hand-built by Ohio Amish craftsmen.
Good job keeping camera video still Susan. Cool trailer triailer.

3200 empty. Full water at gvw. Can’t pack empty bag of sailboat fuel. Figure it out yet?
Winnebago Hike! Very nice!
Winnebago does a great job with their floor plans! Thanks for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
GR8 video Mike really informative. Now I’m really confused. Anyway 2 comments, 1 the fact of having an AC units should be mentioned more often. 2 (from my wife) because the beds are so close to the back wall it’s difficult to make up the bed after you’ve been sleeping in it. She said you have to climb over the mattress to tuck in sheets against the far wall side. Keep up the GR8 work Mike. I love it......Jeff
Thanks Jeff!
We don't really mention the AC very much because just about every RV nowadays either has an A/C unit as a standard feature or as an option you can buy.
And I agree with your wife. Climbing over the bed to make it is no fun! We have to do that in our Class C RV!
Thanks for watching!

Hello RV Blogger! Fine job on the video with information to think about. However not enough prices to go along with them. Also the prices on a couple I know of are on the high side. I’ve had a sweat little Travel Trailer that’s just over the weight limit at 3,800 lbs. but has two features that none of those in your videos have and that’s a full RV sized walk around queen bed and dry bath with more room than either of those reviewed! Not to mention for less money than most, a lot less than a few. We have a Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup 16FQ, that’s 21.5’ overall an full width without any slide-out. In the 3.8 years we’ve owned it we have had only a few minor issues, one covered under warranty, a bad battery. Then we needed to replace a couple worn out items I will be more gentle with, the prop rod that’s used to push the side window next to the bed open an stay open or pull in tight and lock closed, had its hinge break, the shower curtain has self destructed, plus the ground wire from the axle to the chassis that’s used to ground the electric brakes rusted away. That’s was all! In all that time I’ll estimate that the total mileage is over 30,000 miles, accumulated over weekends and month long trips with an epic 4 moth trip after we both retired and a new home was being built in Central Florida! In the last two years! Before that we lived in Massachusetts and had explored all up an down the east coast from far home in mass to as far north Bar Harbor ME and as far south as Key West FL more than twice, with two side trips to The Smokey Mountains in Gatlinburg, The Dragon and Blue Ridge Parkways! With dozens of points in between. On the 4 month trip we covered ground from Corpus Christi Texas and Texas Gulf Coast, to Waco area camping on Lake Waco. Stopping at numerous museums and local brew pubs along the way. All with a Chevy Colorado Z71,4x4, V6 Ext Cab! With ease an comfort to really explore!
Hi K. R. V.
The prices on these travel trailers are MSRP so yes they are higher than you should pay.
Thanks for watching and for your comment! Lot's of good info in there so thanks for sharing.

Hi guys. Thanks for another lightweight camper video. Please check your titles though. This video includes campers that do not have any bathroom or potty facilities. The best thing that makes the R-Pod a stand-out is the outdoor cooking area. I do not like being stuck inside when using the stove.
Hi Amy,
We changed the title so it says Some with Bathrooms because a couple don't have a bathroom. We like the idea of an outdoor kitchen too! We are considering switching from our Class C RV to a travel trailer and an outdoor kitchen is on our list of priorities!
Thanks for watching and for the comments!

@@RVBlogger We used to have a 12' pop-up camper by Jayco. We opted for the screen room that could attach to the awning, and the 3 burner propane stove could move from inside to outside and hung next to the door. Even in rain or mosquito blooms we could set those both up and do all our cooking and water boiling outside. After eating we could pop back in and wash dishes at the sink, plus had all that space the stove would have occupied to dry dishes or do food prep.
It is usually just the two of us camping now, so about 3 years ago we upgraded to a small travel trailer (Freedom Express 19RB by Coachman) with a shower and electric jack (no more cranking for us). We have been really happy with it, but I still miss that 'cooking on the patio".
These are great but so many left out that offer more space and the same weight like keystone hideout 175lhs which competes with the 17bh and offers sink in bathroom, or the Rockwood mini lite or even the epro lineup that now comes with Murphy bed and standard solar panels. Good video.
Hi Jaz,
There are tons of great trailers that aren't in this video! But we intend to make more videos and show off even more great travel trailers under 3,500 lbs. I appreciate you giving us some good suggestions to look for in the future! Keep the suggestions coming!
Thanks for watching!
Mike
Just a few comments if off roading
1) does the unit have solar or solar prep
2) if so what is the wattage & battery bank capacity
3)how many gallons of fresh water. Not worried about black - go poop 💩 by a tree
4) if no solar does the unit have deep cycle batteries & how many amp hours
5) u mentioned off road tires, but is it lifted & what are the clearances
6) was the fridges propane, electric or both
7) 30 amps for all?
8) did the toy haulers have separate onboard tanks for gas
9) what was cargo capacity for toy haulers
Hi BB,
Those are all fantastic items to research if you are looking for an off-road travel trailer. Thanks for sharing so other viewers know what to look for.
We don't get into all that detail in the video because the video would end up being way too long and people will get bored. We just provide a brief overview and then folks can do further research on their own if they see something they like.
Thanks very much for watching and for your comment!

3200 empty. Axle bending of you add water. Average family adds 1,000 pounds of gear. You would over gvw by 1000 pounds. Definitely bend axle and toast tires
Maybe the intech has the stove facing the opposite way so you don’t block the side door when cooking?
That seems to be what everyone thinks.. but I think there is plenty of room...the world may never know! lol!

I believe the lid on the cooler will switch to open from either side.
Thank you so much. It is nice to see all the new campers. Would you consider looking at some older small campers? Thank you.
Hi Gloria,
I never thought of reviewing older travel trailers. Most folks want to see the newer models. Do you have something specific in mind that you think a lot of people would want to see?
Great question and thanks for watching.

@@RVBlogger Personally a nurse with tow package max weight 5000lbs. Did not plan on traveling when purchased. Personally looking for used to travel from assignment to assignment with 2 50+ lbs dogs with outdoor adventures as well.
I liked the last one. New at this but lived aboard my sailboat for years while cruising. Checking out these small trailers. I have a Nissan truck to haul with. Not sure which is best for us, just two of us with two small dogs. Like the off road idea too.
Hi Captjo,
If you lived on a sailboat these small campers should be perfect for you! Here is a more recent video we made about small campers if you want to check it out too!
