    This one hits all the right notes and numbers….very approachable weights and good cargo rating, nice ceiling height, that extra 6" width really adds space, big fresh water tank, bathroom gets rid of the radius shower layout. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. It’s rare but sometimes "simple" is a luxury and this trailer embodies that.

    Team pro slide here. We like the more open spacious feeling. Especially with 2 people a couple furry friends.
    Pros: tall ceilings, smaller stove & no oven, bar area for floorplans without a dinnette, bathroom plumbing & fixture/sink upgrades.
    Cons: enjoy seating options with the middle arm that raises up (sometimes enjoy being close to the wife 😅), TV with no vertical tilt, & hate open bathroom shelving.
    Thanks Josh! Ember looks like great quality even with being lighter weight.

    I love the feel and layout of this rig! Most of my comments are covered in other’s remarks such as keep slide, televator tv, flip up counter at end with the stools, and drawers under bed instead of lift. Having fulltimed for over seven years now I find I would prefer all closets to be adjustable and non-hanging. If I want to hang stuff I’ll put hooks or whatever where I need them. Also not a fan of any open shelving where things can fall out during travel. That said, I would prefer the door closet to be one unit with adjustable shelves so I could use to hang a coat, hold shoes and a swiffer, leashes, etc. I don’t know how wide this closet is but if it’s wide enough to be plumbed for a washer/dryer combo in the bottom, even better. The other closet next to the seating could be a pantry with either sliding or adjustable shelves. Hubby and I are tall so the location of the microwave doesn’t work. It needs to be moved up somewhere. I too would like induction stovetop instead and moved further away from sink. Need a king size bed option. I wish all rvs would use the telescoping outside door handles! Thank you for showing this unit. Plan to look into in more as well as the touring model you mentioned.

    Thank you Mr. Nerd. Adjustable shelves are always a good idea. Not a bad concept by extending the counter top. I would be putting in a different mattress, but it would be heavier and make lift the hatch for the under bed storage more difficult. A couple big drawers under the bed that pull out the foot end would be cool.

    My biggest pet peeve with these are having the furnace/water heater/etc. on the same wall, underneath the awning. With a small unit like this, the awning space is already at more of a premium, and then those vents are there, too. So many of these have this floorplan.

    • @JoshtheRVNerd
      @JoshtheRVNerd  2 місяці тому +1

      I agree, but there’s really not an easy way to avoid it due to the fact it has a slide on the other side. There’s nowhere else to put those things unless you’re willing to sacrifice a pass-through storage.

    • @EmberRecreationalVehicles
      @EmberRecreationalVehicles 2 місяці тому +1

    I was excited about this until you stepped inside and saw the slide and immediate was bummed out. But then again I'm weird and I don't want a dinette or a sofa either. I'd rather have the open space available to me to do what I want to do with it. Rather than installing a sofa or a dinette that I think is of low quality (and I think almost all RV sofa and dinettes are low quality.)

  • @tenntenntenntenn
    @tenntenntenntenn 2 місяці тому +1

    I like this and others like it I've seen in the past, but I agree on the no slide part. What I think could bring it close to perfect:
    1. No slide. Small slide like that with the walls against the couch feels so cramped
    2. Move the entry to near the bed, push the counter to the back (the counter space next to the fridge (where the pantry is now) would be excellent for coffee and other small appliances)
    3. Increase the width of the bar, maybe allow it to fold down to increase floor space when it's not needed, maybe detachable as a coffee table or something (me and my wife are couch-eaters most of the time anyway)
    4. TV either televates down from the cabinets, or up from the bar
    5. To make more entry space, push the bed away from the entry a small amount. This would decrease the walkway/wardrobe/nightstand space on the far side, but have the opposite effect on the near side, which could allow for...
    6. Washer/dryer prep on the entry side wardrobe.
    7. With the slide removed, the cost savings could be spent a bit on upgrading ventilation (keep the onion and bathrooms smells STRONGLY exhausting out the back, fresh air in the front), and add a grill slideout where the door is now
    8. BONUS: Increase the length by a foot or two to allow walling off the bedroom. Could even go for the BONUS BONUS and make it a fifth wheel

    Hey Josh - remember me from a couple weeks ago when I said I was looking for a half-ton towable with high ceilings because I'm very tall? Well... Way to come through for me! You're the best!
    I really like this rig. I agree that the dining counter needs to be tweaked a bit to provide more room. I can also say that I would like that big cabinet by the door should be set up to be half hanging space and half pantry space. I think having a spot to hang jackets and store some shoes near the door is a great thing! (Especially seeing as how my wife hates it when I wear shoes in the camper...)
    I'm one that believes the slide is necessary, but mostly because if I'm reclined in the chair, my legs stick out too far to not have a slide... I can see where some folks could easily get by without a slide in this rig.

    13:54 it’s also nice that they are using 90° elbows for their PEX. It cost a little more and takes a little more time, but it says precious room, especially under a bathroom sink where a lot of manufacturers will just cut it long and loop it around and then you can’t fit Jack squat in there. 😅

    As for the rear pantry, removable shelves to give a hanging storage option would be great, but it is not completely necessary. With this being a couple's camper rather than a family bunkhouse, the three hanging storage closets should be enough for most situations.

    This is great, I’d really love to see that back pantry you were asking about have removable shelves and a hanging bar and I’d like it if they got rid of that center reveal strip(the vertical plank in the front center) to make getting stuff in and out easier. Over all this is fantastic though, I love that they put cabinets under the dining bar, love all the cabinets really, especially that they gave us room for a waste basket! The road mode is phenomenal especially with the sofa still being usable, honestly while a no slide version would be great I’d still go for the slide version. My only two notes are that the theater seat is a massive L for me. I’m looking for something that’s good for solo and couples camping and on both fronts that center armrest is a bummer, can’t snuggle when I’m camping with a partner and when I’m camping solo I can’t spread out and half the sofa is useless. I wish they’d either make that a flip down arm rest so I can just pretend it doesn’t exist or give us the option of either a hide a bed or a sofa with storage underneath. I know the center armrest can be removed but I both don’t want to put in the effort to do that and I don’t want a weird gap next to the sofa. My other complaint is more nitpicky, I wish the bathroom counter was one piece instead of having that level change.

    I like this layout very much. For me, I’d have to have a slide. I like the feeling of room. I’d say to put the removable shelf in the pantry by the door. It allows for more flexibility. I’m not a fan of the high up tv. A tv lift option in the lower counter would make sense to me. There’s a ton of storage already in this camper, so losing the skinny cabinets under the counter wouldn’t make much difference. I can’t wait to see the final version.

    I’m a no slide guy. Also not enough outdoor storage. Sure the pass through is nice but also adds tongue weight. Having a few more exterior storage places gives you more options with your hoses, tools, jack pads, etc. while the extra height is great, they missed the mark on the tiny windows. You’re in the great outdoors. Let the sunshine in! Also a molded fiberglass front end would really dress this model up and provide a lot less maintenance down the road. Solar on the side connector in the pass through seems weird. You have to leave it open, for the solar panel to connect? No outside shower is a bummer as well. I feel one trend I’m seeing more and more are tons of interior storage and one thing my wife would learn, trip after trip, was we didn’t use a lot of the “stuff” we kept dragging around. Being this is an RV and not a full time living quarters, having more junk in bunk, only creates a heavier load, less fuel economy and the “need” to fill every space with things, you don’t likely need. Transfer some of that to exterior storage or maybe and outdoor kitchen. Those are far more useful (especially if you like to cook sausage, bacon or grill meat in general. Liked the smaller range, no oven/ added micro/ air frier, quiet AC, cubbies behind the wardrobe (great for a CPAP) and no need to open the slide.

    Storage is excellent. It's roomy, but still towable with my SUV, and the layout is well appointed. I could boondock with this for a weekend even. And, I'd probably stick with it for the life of the TT, rather than look at a bigger vehicle to pull something equal to this but a bit heavier.....

The theater seating doesn't look as nice as the 2205s. The fireplace on the 2205s was a big incentive, as was the Mastervolt Power Package from ABCUpfitters. I feel the RV industry is far behind the incredible power options that ABCUpfitters can provide. This rig was so much lighter, in everyway than the 2205s. ABCUpfitters could provide custom options to make this rig as off grid as you would like.

    This has a lot of the feeling of our old Micro Minnie 2106FBS. Had this been around when we were replacing it we might have bought it since we we didn't like the open cabinets nor the bathroom changes of the 2108FBS.
    I know of some companies that would have just used smaller stools rather than enlarge the counter top.
    The stupid words are why I come here.
    With fixed shelves in the lower pantry cabinet I would like to see removable shelves in the upper. The cabinet by the couch fits more with the bedroom area and we would use the upper half for clothing and lower half for things like games, DVDs, etc. In the upper pantry I can see using one vertical half for things like brooms/mops/vacuum. With that in mind I would add a vertical divider where one side has shelves and the other side is unobstructed full height.
    I do not like the lighting system. Our Grand Design has the same issue where all of the ceiling lights are either on or off. I spent extra time and money to replace them with lighting that could be turned on and off individually and that could be individually dimmed. This was one area where our old 2106FBS did things well by being able to turn the ceiling lights on or off at the master switch or individually as needed.
    I'd pay more for a rear bumper and bumper mounted spare tire. There is nothing worse than crawling under a vehicle when it is raining to get to the spare tire (ask me how I know).
