Hi Everyone, We hope you enjoyed our video! Which small travel trailer perfect for couples did you like best? 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.
We don't choose RVs based on price. These are typical RVs seen at dealerships and RV shows. The prices are higher these days but know pays MSRP. @@JarMomErika
Yeah Alex, that was going through my mind too, the prices for these basic small TT have literally doubled since 4-5 yrs ago. And even at the crazy prices, buy 3x rpods for the price of that one airstream. Lol nuts. 🍻
@@RVBlogger Maybe not now. But pretty soon industries will start to realize that COVID is over and there is an inflation crisis going on. Then I will buy that new 2023 Mini off the lot in December for $16,000 less.
Thank you very much for the kind words. The MSRP on RVs is still a bit high, but we agree, smaller campers seem to be too high. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
I like the way you use the tape measure for the bed and shower. Me being a almost 6'7" tall person, it helps. Believe me, I will make an extra effort to fit into the Airstream. Good job.
Hi Tall Dude, Glad you like the tape measure! And everyone seems to agree the Airstream is the best of the bunch! Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike
I recently bought a RV to live in, and one of the biggest needs was a big U dinette. It's not easy to scoot over to the back, but it's the only RV I could find with room for a desktop PC setup!
Hi Mark, Good eye! It is amazing to me that the manufacturers send out campers with saw dust and metal shavings everywhere! WTH! Using the vacuum to clean it up is hilarious! Made me laugh... Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike
Thanks Mike. My husband and I are full-timers and we really enjoy watching your videos. You are very thorough and show the different areas of the RV that campers and full-timers are interested in. Great job!
I liked all three of these but I can't help but think in trailers for 2 people a fixed dinette is a waste of space. For only two people you could have a couple of folding chairs and a small folding table sufficient for meals or laptops or playing cards. They don't have to be attached when in use because the trailer won't be moving at that time anyway, you could even use them outside in nice weather. When not in use they could just fold up and click in place to one of the walls. That would leave more space for storage and/or moving around inside the trailer.
@@RVBlogger Heartland Pioneer, Keystone Hideout are just 2 that come to mind. I could make those 2 my tiny home. As a matter of fact, the Hideout would be perfect for me as a tiny home. They both have various layouts with different price points too
🍻Definitely appreciate the videos on couples trailers. That is ones that have a shower and toilet. Please also talk about trailers that are suitable for over 100 deg F, and below freezing. We go to the desert in the summer and hunting in the fall. Thanks
@@RVBlogger products we lo ed other step down in wet bath. We colman 2019 30 ft . But love our rpod wish step up and down had been big deal but it was my husband had replaces just to step up down for him .
The video shows the Airstream has a queen bed option. But the our '96 Jayco 1006st tent trailer has a queen, a full and a convertible dinette for more sleeping space than any of these.
Wife and I got an intech Luna rover early this year for under 20 before tax. Full rear kitchen, heat ac fan and fire tv with a toilet for a 15’ footprint. You should do a video on them!
I personally didn't care for any of them. I have a 2018 Freedom Express 192RBS and it's been a great couple's camper for us. The bed is a full 60x80 queen bed with a north/south orientation, making it easy for either of us to get up without disturbing the other. It has plenty of counter space. The microwave is up high, where you can keep an eye on food as it's cooking. It has a three burner stove with oven. And the commode easily passes the elbow test. I'm 6' 2" and I have no problems standing up in the shower.
My pet peeve. All rv cooktops should have one burner with at least 10,000 BTU (pasta, corn, etc). It's hard to boil a large pot of water on a 5,000 BTU burner. We've had to use our turkey fryer burner before. Thanks for sharing.
Great job 👍 on the reviews. Ready here goes I wouldn’t give you .15 cents for any of them. Our 18 foot 2022 Tab 400 in my humble opinion puts these out to pasture. Again thanks
the Hike was my favorite, even tho the kitchen and fridge are So tiny, loved the rest better than the R-Pod. the Air Stream doesnt feel like camping. but it is Beautiful, but my favorite was the Hike.. however i own a Casita
@@RVBlogger had a 2018 microlite 25dks, i keep comparing it to these new little trailers. That microlite was literally like a luxury TT! Cozy, Well made, interior decor had blinds and closable curtains, huge front tinted window like a vehicle windshield, double pane windows, spray foam undercoat, was oyster exterior, not white, awning electric with rain dump feature, friction hinged exterior doors (both). Electric front jack, 15k ac, couch too. Came with exterior clip on bbq, bike rack for ladder. These new little other brand trailers today look so basic, minimal. (…Dam, sold it for a big trailer) 🍻
R-pod 171. That faucet is a good one for cooks. It is used to fill soup pots on the stove as well as doing the dishes. So it is a nice feature for that.
The Airstream is a great floor plan. The hammock is an interesting idea. Would you want to sleep in that all night every night? Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
We have a 2021 Grand design 22RBE XLS. I pull it with my half ton easily with a dry weight of 5125 and a hitch weight of 497. We have a big bathroom in the rear with a 30 x 36 shower, our regular 60 x 80 queen bed you can walk around is in front and the slide with 2 theater chairs and our table is on the camp side and sits right across from the 32" Roku TV. We have huge counter space, a good size farm sink and an 8 cu ft refrigerator and a good size freezer. I think the tank sizes are fresh 82, Black 37, 2 Grey one front for the sink one in back for the shower / sink at 21 each for a total of 42. We do have a power awning and the slide does not take up too much awning space. 4 people could sit under it just fine. It didn't cost us an arm and a leg - under $20k in 2021. At a total end to end length of 26' (the box is 22') we can fit into any national park spot.
I really like the idea of the bed that you pull down on struts. I wasn't to build me my own camper and what I have seen people use for there beds to be lowered is not only complicated but also expensive whereas 4 shocks would work great. So that to me is a really good design. Then on the floor I would want a more residential looking couch and probably 2 swivel chairs on the other side with a small table that would pop up between the 2 chairs so it makes it a place to eat and to make it more like a tiny home. I myself am very short at 4ft 11in tall so the height would not matter to me. I also like the all in one bath because it saves on so much space. Hopefully soon one of these companies would be able to make one light enough to where a regular sized car would be able to pull it with no problem. I read in one of the comments that someone said you showed one that had a Murphy bed and I would like to find that video and watch it because that also is a cool idea. Thank you for this video. God bless 🙏💞🙏
Hi Kim. So glad you found the video helpful. We have quite a few videos about travel trailers with Murphy Beds. Here's one for you to check out. Please let us know if you have any questions. ua-cam.com/video/GVmKhCmeJbU/v-deo.html
This review came at the perfect time as we are starting to look for a smaller tow behind for semi retirement traveling thru the US and both Eastern / Western Canada. We want something comfortable but easy to tow and setup with our 2018 Silverado 4x4. Has to be quick and easy to setup as we will pulling in late and leaving early. We will also be subbing in occasional Hotel stays and also restaurant visits. Thanks perfect timing ...... 👌
Hi Roger, I agree! But we find that many manufacturers avoid putting outlets on the exterior walls of campers and motorhomes. Could be that the exterior walls are too thin. Or it could be a code related reason. I'm not sure but I have noticed this in almost every RV we review. Thanks for watching! Mike
Would love to see a practical demonstration of the various HIKE 100 floor plans. The Winnebago website does not really show the nitty gritty differences. Personally I am looking for inside storage and long-term living.
Hi James, Thanks for the video idea! Maybe we will do that one day. Thanks for your comment. Is there anything in particular you want to see in the HIKE? Mike
@@RVBlogger The HIKE 100 looks both nimble and rugged and with its large fresh and grey water tanks, plus lithium/solar package would lend itself to boon docking. Which of the 5 floor plans gives the most inside space for inclement weather and long-term living. A video showing the practical use differences would be very interesting and helpful.
Hey Mike and Susan!! I absolutely LOVE Airstreams!! Love them. I could live in one of those no doubt about it. But the price! Ouch! You’d have to live in it as it’s as much as a house!! Was that sticker on the window that read $719.00. Was that supposed to be payments as low as sticker?? Then insurance! Again ouch. But they are sooooo nice. Okay see y’all later! ❤️💜💚
Hi Paige, They are really nice but yup they are expensive. But in the long run they have a better resale value than a regular camper...so maybe they are actually cheaper in the long run. Thanks for watching! Mike and Susan
I really like the rpod with the table. I want to be able to work so i love the table. I wish the refrigerator was a little bit bigger. Do you think this would be a good full time camper to start with for a solo camper?
I think it has all the great features a solo RVer would love. Would you need it to be a 4 season camper? I'm not sure it's rated for that, but otherwise it's a thumbs up from us! Thanks for watching and commenting CD!
Waiting for the rv prices and campground rates to go down, we haven't camped in the last two years because hotels are cheaper where we like to vacation at
The Airstream International 23FB is a great floor plan for a TT under 25' and no slide outs! Love the walk around bed! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
I would like to see some videos of smaller trailers like you guys do but with the gray and the water tanks internal so it can be a true Fourseason trailer. It’s only gonna be me and the dogs so I don’t need anything large.
We are not familiar with any RVs with internal black, gray and water tanks. We have a blog article about 4 season travel trailers that might have some insight to the right manufacturers. Thanks for watching and commenting. rvblogger.com/blog/4-season-travel-trailer-brands
Have you all done a video on RVLots that you can purchase? If not could you do one? I’m thinking about doing that for my retirement . Using it in the winter . Or does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks !
Thank you for the kind words. Try looking at rvtrader.com or even Facebook Marketplace. We bought our first motorhome from Marketplace. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
Like the airstream, and the lay out. I like the twin beds idea, one for me the other for my dog. I notice the price per month is half of what I pay in rent.
The Airstream International 23FB is a great small camper floor plan. Along with the camper payment also comes campground expenses. It can be, but isn't always, a cost savings living in a camper. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
It's tow capacity is only 2,000 lbs. There isn't many travel trailers you could tow. You would have to stick to something this size. ua-cam.com/video/phbcFLXXnuQ/v-deo.html Thanks for watching and commenting.
I never understood the need for a bathroom sink.Especially on a small unit.Usually its a knee buster for tall people and the kitchen sink is 4ft away.Better as a shower /toilet combo
The Airstream Bambi may have been a better representation of a small travel trailer. Have you reviewed the Nucamp T@B 320S? It's by far my favorite at camper shows and the smallest/lightest I've found with a full bath and still under 3500 GVWR. I love Airstream, but the price, while worth it, is out of my zone.
We haven't toured the T@B 320 yet. But you are right about being a great lightweight camper. Hopefully we'll see some at our next RV show late February. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi John, We have a vacuum in our Class C RV and it hardly takes any storage space at all. And Susan loves it! (Just thought I would give you the woman's perspective since we are answering comments together - lol) Do you like R-Pods without the central vac? I'm not thrilled with the mid bath setup personally. Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike and Susan
@@SpykersB No we didn't sell it. So now we have Class A and C RVs. We kept the Class C so our adult aged children could use it for the summer to go camping with us. It was great! And hopefully they will; all use it again this summer too but they will have to go by themselves since we will be on the road!
Its just the wife and I and our Flagstaff is 36' It has no bunks and we both wish we had more room. I think we would kill each other in a small camper, LOL
We have a pretty thorough video to help explain all RV types and classes. Hope this will help. Thanks for watching and commenting. ua-cam.com/video/13YNKa07d50/v-deo.html
Like twin beds? We have 2 videos that tour travel trailers with twin bed floor plans. How many states? How long did you travel? That's awesome! ua-cam.com/video/V_TsbX1ilcE/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Tm7vjN-B4IY/v-deo.html Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
@@RVBlogger travelled from Sault ste Marie,to Florida over to California up to Oregon,back across to via Chicago,Detroit,back to Ontario ,national monuments ,state parks ,county parks in a 2016 RPod ,mosquitoes,mice could get in under the slide ,a few loose pipes but few problems ,drove a 2016 gmc canyon great trip! That was the summer of 2016!
Mike & Susan…………inflation is killing everything. I was stunned at the prices for these models. I liked all of them but good grief a past time has turned cost prohibitive in some cases now.
That airstream has a fantastic layout, but way to heavy and over priced. Is their any other manufacture that offers that same layout and at a more reasonable GVWR and price?
That's very understandable. Airstream MSRP is always a bit high. Have you checked out this video? ua-cam.com/video/3qKlb-lJe2o/v-deo.html We tour Starcraft Autumn Ridge 172FB, Forest River Viking Saga 16SFB, KZ Sportsmen Classic 170MB. None of these have slideouts, but have low GVWR and MSRP. Hope this is helpful. Also, if you type Couples Campers in the search bar of our home page you'll find several videos with this topic that could help too. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you for your support!
@@RVBlogger thanks, the that's a great alternative option, I prefer the single beds of the Airstream over the murphy bed of the Sportsman, but it will have to be one of life's little compromises.
Winnebago 1316SB No stove in the kitchen? So first they start taking the ovens out of the kitchens and now the cook top too? umm the word worthless comes to mind.
Unfortunately there is only so much room available in a super small TT like the Winnebago. Travel trailers without the stove top tend to offer induction burners that can be stowed away when not in use, but it's usually only one burner. Thank you for watching our internet video and commenting!
Just like many things, prices increased the last few years. However, they are going down and these are MSRP so they are negotiable. Thanks for watching and commening JH!
What kind of person designs beds that are less than 6 feet long? Plus, the upper bed is way too high off the floor unnecessarily. It could be dropped down another 2 feet lower with a different bed-lift system. I would love to see you try to get up into that upper bed. They should have made the large storage cabinet 1 foot less wide to allow more normal length beds. Started out with a great design but failed on the beds for no good reason.
I assume you are referring to the Winnebago? It is not uncommon to find a shorter bed in a smaper camper. There's only so much space available. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Hey Rider Biker, We recommend checking out the manufacturer's website for anything we didn't cover in the video to assure you get the most accurate info. There are also other UA-cam channels that do a more thorough walkthrough of just 1 camper. :) Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan
@@RVBlogger - Hense the reason I don't watch you videos. Check out Josh the RV nerd, he flashes those specks in each trailer video. Your walk throughs touch the basics at best. You give very little useful information.
@18:12 Mike sitting on the bed next to an obvious sign. Perfect camper for couples, a 30' class A. Good presentation but . . . . not thrilled with any of them.
Hi Tuvia, LOL! That is funny - I was sitting right on the bedding! The reality is that we make the beds before and after we shoot a video much of the time so I guess I feel like it's ok if I sit on the bed. Good eye though! Thanks for watching! Mike
The R-pod is beautiful, but once again the finishing is questionable. I immediately saw how off that outlet in the kitchen was. No one from the quality department saw that?
Hi shestudios, I'm not sure how much QC goes into travel trailers. Many times they are incomplete and shipped to the dealer. Then the dealer has to fix all the minor issues. Not a great system at all... Thanks for watching! Mike
@@Redundant_underscore I think prices will come down a bit in 2023 but not as low as pre-covid prices. I also think there will be some good deals on used RVs out there. Thanks for watching! Mike
I think he was referring not to ceiling height, but to the largest dimension for the beds being 5'5". My wife at 5'1" would barely fit. But with me shrunk down with age to 5'8" from my former 5'10", I would have to sleep corner to corner, which would leave no room for my wife.
These campers must be made of gold. I have the means to afford them, but I don’t see how they warrant those prices. Hard Pass, don’t want to get ripped off buying that expensive junk.
Understandable. Winnebago and Airstream tend to be RVs with a higher price point. Hopefully we'll begin to see some of these MSRPs go down as supply increases and demand deceases.
@@RVBlogger Oh I understand completely. Thing is that items like RVs are out of the price range of the average consumer. Automobiles are the same way. Things are going to get bad!
Don't forget it doesn't have to be new? I'm expecting things to get a bit ugly with people's finances and you will inevitably start to see people start to cut the luxuries in life to allow them to buy life's necessities such as FOOD. Folks with a bit of cash stuffed away can do OK during these "market resets" however sadly again it is at the misfortunes of others?
They are still a bit high. I think we'll start seeing them come done more. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
@@RVBloggerI love watching these videos and reviews ok camping trailer. You should make a video comparing small trailer that have big beds in them similar to the e15th flagstaff e pro
@@christophergonzales2627 small campers with twin beds that you can convert to a King? We have a few videos in that category. Here's a link to one. ua-cam.com/video/V_TsbX1ilcE/v-deo.html
Airstream campers do have a high MSRP. Did you buy your Rockwood new for that price? I know pre-Covid prices were much lower but that seems super low. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
@@RVBlogger Yep. We bought new and Pre covid, Its a 2019 bought in fall of 2018, also we live 1 hour from where there made and the dealer is in the town it's made in so almost no delivery charge. Can't wait to go camping 👍
To be honest, I don't really care for any of them. The only one that's marginally affordable is the r-pod. The other two are way too pricey for what you get. I understand you may want them because you have a small towbvehicle but I think that it would be very crowded to have a couple in any of these. The Hike has some interesting features, and I would like the quasi-toy hauler feature given that I would need to take a power scooter or wheelchair with me being disabled, I'm not particularly tall and that bed would be a real challenge. I'm actually fine with wet baths because being disabled I do have to sit down when I shower so they actually work fine for me. Space wise, the Airstream had the best I think layout but at over $100,000, you don't get a lot for that. Obviously Airstreams have been around forever and have a very good quality reputation but still, ouch on the price tag! I've seen some other smaller camper reviews you've done in the past that I think are better options or even some of the Murphy bed smaller camper reviews you've done are better choices. I realize you're reviewing what is available but as I said I just wasn't really a fan of any of them.
Hi Rosemary, There are so many options available for every category we review so we tried to show some different options in the video. Airstream seems to be the crowd favorite for sure. Thanks for watching! Mike and Susan

And even at the crazy prices, buy 3x rpods for the price of that one airstream. Lol nuts. 🍻

I liked all three of these but I can't help but think in trailers for 2 people a fixed dinette is a waste of space. For only two people you could have a couple of folding chairs and a small folding table sufficient for meals or laptops or playing cards. They don't have to be attached when in use because the trailer won't be moving at that time anyway, you could even use them outside in nice weather. When not in use they could just fold up and click in place to one of the walls. That would leave more space for storage and/or moving around inside the trailer.
Hi sdraper2011,
We agree!

Agree, I do not like dinettes. Think they are a huge waste of space. TV trays work great !

That's a good outlook. We do love Airstream but know they have a higher price point. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
I personally didn't care for any of them. I have a 2018 Freedom Express 192RBS and it's been a great couple's camper for us. The bed is a full 60x80 queen bed with a north/south orientation, making it easy for either of us to get up without disturbing the other. It has plenty of counter space. The microwave is up high, where you can keep an eye on food as it's cooking. It has a three burner stove with oven. And the commode easily passes the elbow test. I'm 6' 2" and I have no problems standing up in the shower.

The Airstream is definitely worth the money. Room in the freezer for ice cream!
Heck yes for the ice cream!!! 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting.
My pet peeve. All rv cooktops should have one burner with at least 10,000 BTU (pasta, corn, etc). It's hard to boil a large pot of water on a 5,000 BTU burner. We've had to use our turkey fryer burner before. Thanks for sharing.
That's a very interesting point! Thanks for sharing that information. And thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
Great job 👍 on the reviews. Ready here goes I wouldn’t give you .15 cents for any of them. Our 18 foot 2022 Tab 400 in my humble opinion puts these out to pasture. Again thanks
I like the tabs a lot but don't they lack headroom?

the Hike was my favorite, even tho the kitchen and fridge are So tiny, loved the rest better than the R-Pod. the Air Stream doesnt feel like camping. but it is Beautiful, but my favorite was the Hike.. however i own a Casita
Thanks for sharing! We love Casitas! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I would redesign the seating area to sleep 2 , but room to put a mini wash @dryer that they have in tiny houses.
That's an interesting concept! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
Honorable mention for the MiniLite 2109S/MicroLite 21FBRS everybody👍🏻
Hi Brent,
What do you like about the MiniLite 2109S/MicroLite 21FBRS? Give us the deets!
Thanks for watching!
Mike and Susan
@@RVBlogger had a 2018 microlite 25dks, i keep comparing it to these new little trailers. That microlite was literally like a luxury TT! Cozy, Well made, interior decor had blinds and closable curtains, huge front tinted window like a vehicle windshield, double pane windows, spray foam undercoat, was oyster exterior, not white, awning electric with rain dump feature, friction hinged exterior doors (both). Electric front jack, 15k ac, couch too. Came with exterior clip on bbq, bike rack for ladder. These new little other brand trailers today look so basic, minimal. (…Dam, sold it for a big trailer) 🍻
@@SpykersB Sounds like a great camper! We will have to try to tour one when we see one.
Thanks for the info!
Mike
R-pod 171. That faucet is a good one for cooks. It is used to fill soup pots on the stove as well as doing the dishes. So it is a nice feature for that.
We love goose neck faucets too!
Airstream looks the best. I wonder if I can just get the beds out and I can just put in my hammock. 😊
The Airstream is a great floor plan. The hammock is an interesting idea. Would you want to sleep in that all night every night? Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
We have a 2021 Grand design 22RBE XLS. I pull it with my half ton easily with a dry weight of 5125 and a hitch weight of 497.
We have a big bathroom in the rear with a 30 x 36 shower, our regular 60 x 80 queen bed you can walk around is in front and the slide with 2 theater chairs and our table is on the camp side and sits right across from the 32" Roku TV. We have huge counter space, a good size farm sink and an 8 cu ft refrigerator and a good size freezer.
I think the tank sizes are fresh 82, Black 37, 2 Grey one front for the sink one in back for the shower / sink at 21 each for a total of 42.
We do have a power awning and the slide does not take up too much awning space.
4 people could sit under it just fine.
It didn't cost us an arm and a leg - under $20k in 2021.
At a total end to end length of 26' (the box is 22') we can fit into any national park spot.
That's awesome! Sounds like you really love your choice. Safe travels and thank you for watching and commenting.
i like the first one best.
The Forest River R-Pod is a great floor plan and no slide outs so less maintenance! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
We decide on a Jayco 166FBS, it had the best layout and most room, all be it at the cost of a heavier trailer
Hey Rex,
Great choice!! :)
Thanks for watching and commenting!

I really like the idea of the bed that you pull down on struts. I wasn't to build me my own camper and what I have seen people use for there beds to be lowered is not only complicated but also expensive whereas 4 shocks would work great.
So that to me is a really good design. Then on the floor I would want a more residential looking couch and probably 2 swivel chairs on the other side with a small table that would pop up between the 2 chairs so it makes it a place to eat and to make it more like a tiny home.
I myself am very short at 4ft 11in tall so the height would not matter to me.
I also like the all in one bath because it saves on so much space.
Hopefully soon one of these
companies would be able to make one light enough to where a regular sized car would be able to pull it with no problem.
I read in one of the comments that someone said you showed one that had a Murphy bed and I would like to find that video and watch it because that also is a cool idea.
Thank you for this video.
God bless 🙏💞🙏
Hi Kim. So glad you found the video helpful. We have quite a few videos about travel trailers with Murphy Beds. Here's one for you to check out. Please let us know if you have any questions. ua-cam.com/video/GVmKhCmeJbU/v-deo.html
This review came at the perfect time as we are starting to look for a smaller tow behind for semi retirement traveling thru the US and both Eastern / Western Canada. We want something comfortable but easy to tow and setup with our 2018 Silverado 4x4. Has to be quick and easy to setup as we will pulling in late and leaving early. We will also be subbing in occasional Hotel stays and also restaurant visits. Thanks perfect timing ...... 👌

first unit, plugs would qork better behind counter top, not in the front, so no cords are dangling or maybe you pull them as you walk by??
Hi Roger,
I agree! But we find that many manufacturers avoid putting outlets on the exterior walls of campers and motorhomes. Could be that the exterior walls are too thin. Or it could be a code related reason. I'm not sure but I have noticed this in almost every RV we review.
Thanks for watching!

Airstream of these three.
It's a pretty nice RV! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Loved the airstream
It is a beautiful RV! Thank you for watching and commenting
Would love to see a practical demonstration of the various HIKE 100 floor plans. The Winnebago website does not really show the nitty gritty differences. Personally I am looking for inside storage and long-term living.
Hi James,
Thanks for the video idea! Maybe we will do that one day.
Thanks for your comment.
Is there anything in particular you want to see in the HIKE?
Mike
@@RVBlogger The HIKE 100 looks both nimble and rugged and with its large fresh and grey water tanks, plus lithium/solar package would lend itself to boon docking. Which of the 5 floor plans gives the most inside space for inclement weather and long-term living. A video showing the practical use differences would be very interesting and helpful.
Hey Mike and Susan!! I absolutely LOVE Airstreams!! Love them. I could live in one of those no doubt about it. But the price! Ouch! You’d have to live in it as it’s as much as a house!! Was that sticker on the window that read $719.00. Was that supposed to be payments as low as sticker?? Then insurance! Again ouch. But they are sooooo nice. Okay see y’all later!
❤️💜💚
Hi Paige,
They are really nice but yup they are expensive. But in the long run they have a better resale value than a regular camper...so maybe they are actually cheaper in the long run.
Thanks for watching!
Mike and Susan
Great video!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed our RV tour video. Thank you for commenting!
I really like the rpod with the table. I want to be able to work so i love the table. I wish the refrigerator was a little bit bigger. Do you think this would be a good full time camper to start with for a solo camper?
I think it has all the great features a solo RVer would love. Would you need it to be a 4 season camper? I'm not sure it's rated for that, but otherwise it's a thumbs up from us! Thanks for watching and commenting CD!
Waiting for the rv prices and campground rates to go down, we haven't camped in the last two years because hotels are cheaper where we like to vacation at
The airstream #1.
The Airstream International 23FB is a great floor plan for a TT under 25' and no slide outs! Love the walk around bed! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
The Airstream.
It's a great RV. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I would like to see some videos of smaller trailers like you guys do but with the gray and the water tanks internal so it can be a true Fourseason trailer. It’s only gonna be me and the dogs so I don’t need anything large.
We are not familiar with any RVs with internal black, gray and water tanks. We have a blog article about 4 season travel trailers that might have some insight to the right manufacturers. Thanks for watching and commenting. rvblogger.com/blog/4-season-travel-trailer-brands
You really need to buy a trailer and upgrade it for your needs. automatic tank heaters, underbelly sealing, snap on or DIY foam skirts
Have you all done a video on RVLots that you can purchase? If not could you do one? I’m thinking about doing that for my retirement . Using it in the winter . Or does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks !
That’s a great idea Valerie. We have not done that yet. But we will look into it. Thank you for watching and commenting.
You guys are great just would like to know how can I find a used small camper 16 feet on down
Thank you for the kind words. Try looking at rvtrader.com or even Facebook Marketplace. We bought our first motorhome from Marketplace. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
Like the airstream, and the lay out. I like the twin beds idea, one for me the other for my dog. I notice the price per month is half of what I pay in rent.
The Airstream International 23FB is a great small camper floor plan. Along with the camper payment also comes campground expenses. It can be, but isn't always, a cost savings living in a camper. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Looking for the best class C for couples. Or a 5000lbs or less travel trailer that a Ford Explorer could tow.

Dear friend, which travel trailer would I be able to tow on a 2022 Bronco Sport Outerbanks?
It's tow capacity is only 2,000 lbs. There isn't many travel trailers you could tow. You would have to stick to something this size. ua-cam.com/video/phbcFLXXnuQ/v-deo.html Thanks for watching and commenting.
I never understood the need for a bathroom sink.Especially on a small unit.Usually its a knee buster for tall people and the kitchen sink is 4ft away.Better as a shower /toilet combo
Hey Dave,
That's a great point!

The Airstream Bambi may have been a better representation of a small travel trailer. Have you reviewed the Nucamp T@B 320S? It's by far my favorite at camper shows and the smallest/lightest I've found with a full bath and still under 3500 GVWR. I love Airstream, but the price, while worth it, is out of my zone.
We haven't toured the T@B 320 yet. But you are right about being a great lightweight camper. Hopefully we'll see some at our next RV show late February. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Susan said, Genius! She’s easily amused I guess.
Some might say that 🤣. Not sure what I thought was genius. Can you refresh my memory? Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting.
Big costs!

Central vac on such a small R-pod TT is not practical - would prefer more storage...
Hi John,
We have a vacuum in our Class C RV and it hardly takes any storage space at all. And Susan loves it! (Just thought I would give you the woman's perspective since we are answering comments together - lol)
Do you like R-Pods without the central vac? I'm not thrilled with the mid bath setup personally.
Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@RVBlogger um 🤔 u keep saying your class C, did u not sell it when u bought your class A? 🍻
@@SpykersB No we didn't sell it. So now we have Class A and C RVs. We kept the Class C so our adult aged children could use it for the summer to go camping with us. It was great!

Mike & Susan…………inflation is killing everything. I was stunned at the prices for these models. I liked all of them but good grief a past time has turned cost prohibitive in some cases now.
The prices have made a drastic increase. Hopefully that will change. Thanks for watching and commenting.
That airstream has a fantastic layout, but way to heavy and over priced.
Is their any other manufacture that offers that same layout and at a more reasonable GVWR and price?
That's very understandable. Airstream MSRP is always a bit high. Have you checked out this video? ua-cam.com/video/3qKlb-lJe2o/v-deo.html We tour Starcraft Autumn Ridge 172FB, Forest River Viking Saga 16SFB, KZ Sportsmen Classic 170MB. None of these have slideouts, but have low GVWR and MSRP. Hope this is helpful. Also, if you type Couples Campers in the search bar of our home page you'll find several videos with this topic that could help too. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you for your support!
@@RVBlogger thanks, the that's a great alternative option, I prefer the single beds of the Airstream over the murphy bed of the Sportsman, but it will have to be one of life's little compromises.
@@paulcatarino2209 I get that. We love the concept of the Murphy bed but haven't owned on ourselves. We might not love them after sleeping on one! 🤣
Winnebago 1316SB No stove in the kitchen? So first they start taking the ovens out of the kitchens and now the cook top too? umm the word worthless comes to mind.
Unfortunately there is only so much room available in a super small TT like the Winnebago. Travel trailers without the stove top tend to offer induction burners that can be stowed away when not in use, but it's usually only one burner. Thank you for watching our internet video and commenting!
The prices on these are absolutely outrageous.
Just like many things, prices increased the last few years. However, they are going down and these are MSRP so they are negotiable. Thanks for watching and commening JH!
Wow I haven’t see a bed drop like that before without the electric system! Surely that is cheaper! Of course Winnebago charges a premium anyway 🙄
The bed system is a little wonky. I'm not a big fan either. Thanks for watching and commenting.
What kind of person designs beds that are less than 6 feet long? Plus, the upper bed is way too high off the floor unnecessarily. It could be dropped down another 2 feet lower with a different bed-lift system. I would love to see you try to get up into that upper bed. They should have made the large storage cabinet 1 foot less wide to allow more normal length beds. Started out with a great design but failed on the beds for no good reason.
I assume you are referring to the Winnebago? It is not uncommon to find a shorter bed in a smaper camper. There's only so much space available. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Tank sizes, tongue weight, solar?
Hey Rider Biker,
We recommend checking out the manufacturer's website for anything we didn't cover in the video to assure you get the most accurate info. There are also other UA-cam channels that do a more thorough walkthrough of just 1 camper. :)

@@RVBlogger - Hense the reason I don't watch you videos. Check out Josh the RV nerd, he flashes those specks in each trailer video. Your walk throughs touch the basics at best. You give very little useful information.
@@Hemifan4266 best of luck to you
@18:12 Mike sitting on the bed next to an obvious sign. Perfect camper for couples, a 30' class A. Good presentation but . . . . not thrilled with any of them.
Hi Tuvia,
LOL! That is funny - I was sitting right on the bedding!
The reality is that we make the beds before and after we shoot a video much of the time so I guess I feel like it's ok if I sit on the bed.
Good eye though!
Thanks for watching!
Mike
I would take the tv out of the first one. I dont use a tv while traveling.
That's understandable. Less weight and stuff in your way. Thanks blessedveteran! We appreciate your support!
The R-pod is beautiful, but once again the finishing is questionable. I immediately saw how off that outlet in the kitchen was. No one from the quality department saw that?
Hi shestudios,
I'm not sure how much QC goes into travel trailers. Many times they are incomplete and shipped to the dealer. Then the dealer has to fix all the minor issues. Not a great system at all...
Thanks for watching!
Mike
@@RVBlogger Thanks for the feedback!
Hey guys, I enjoy your videos! Do you have to get permission from the dealership to post these videos? Thanks!
Thank you so much. Yes, if we shoot any video at dealerships we get permission first. Thank you for your support!
My favorite of the 3 is the Winnebago Hike 100 1316SB. The other thing that bothers me about it is the bed size. I like how the back is open.
HI STUOC!
The HIKE is a great small trailer. I think Traveling Robert has one too!
The Hike is apparently only for short people to sleep...way to expensive for what you’re getting. The airstream is much better height wise.
The drop down bed does make ceiling height a bit low. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The price was surprising.
@@Redundant_underscore I think prices will come down a bit in 2023 but not as low as pre-covid prices. I also think there will be some good deals on used RVs out there.
Thanks for watching!
Mike
I think he was referring not to ceiling height, but to the largest dimension for the beds being 5'5". My wife at 5'1" would barely fit. But with me shrunk down with age to 5'8" from my former 5'10", I would have to sleep corner to corner, which would leave no room for my wife.
Do u have a trailer? If so could we see it?
We have 2 motorhomes (Class A and Class C) here's the links of both ua-cam.com/video/DtH6gvGGGcw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/EZt7B7ie61I/v-deo.html
The problems with all these couples trailers for retirees is they need double beds and tandem axles in a lightweight short unit
I’m not sure those are necessities. Why do you think so? Thank you for watching and commenting.
Winnebago for $46,0000 no cooking burners??
Tell me about it...but I think prices will come back down a bit. They are already on the way!
Thanks again,
Mike
That Airstream is much larger than the other 2.
Definitely a bit more spacious and living space. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
These campers must be made of gold. I have the means to afford them, but I don’t see how they warrant those prices. Hard Pass, don’t want to get ripped off buying that expensive junk.
Understandable. Winnebago and Airstream tend to be RVs with a higher price point. Hopefully we'll begin to see some of these MSRPs go down as supply increases and demand deceases.
The prices! Forget that crap.
Prices fluctuate and most dealerships will negotiate. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@RVBlogger Oh I understand completely. Thing is that items like RVs are out of the price range of the average consumer. Automobiles are the same way. Things are going to get bad!
Don't forget it doesn't have to be new? I'm expecting things to get a bit ugly with people's finances and you will inevitably start to see people start to cut the luxuries in life to allow them to buy life's necessities such as FOOD. Folks with a bit of cash stuffed away can do OK during these "market resets" however sadly again it is at the misfortunes of others?
Those prices are psychotic
They are still a bit high. I think we'll start seeing them come done more. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!

Cuánto cuesta
El precio está incluido al comienzo de cada tour. Gracias por ver y comentar.
To be honest, I don't really care for any of them. The only one that's marginally affordable is the r-pod. The other two are way too pricey for what you get. I understand you may want them because you have a small towbvehicle but I think that it would be very crowded to have a couple in any of these. The Hike has some interesting features, and I would like the quasi-toy hauler feature given that I would need to take a power scooter or wheelchair with me being disabled, I'm not particularly tall and that bed would be a real challenge. I'm actually fine with wet baths because being disabled I do have to sit down when I shower so they actually work fine for me. Space wise, the Airstream had the best I think layout but at over $100,000, you don't get a lot for that. Obviously Airstreams have been around forever and have a very good quality reputation but still, ouch on the price tag! I've seen some other smaller camper reviews you've done in the past that I think are better options or even some of the Murphy bed smaller camper reviews you've done are better choices. I realize you're reviewing what is available but as I said I just wasn't really a fan of any of them.
Hi Rosemary,
There are so many options available for every category we review so we tried to show some different options in the video. Airstream seems to be the crowd favorite for sure.
Thanks for watching!
Mike and Susan
I agree with you. We purchased a 2010 Evolution E4 Pop Up for way less. Gives us a toy hauler option. Good for us. New stuff is way over priced.
Why no mention that the Hike has no cooktop?
