Holy crap this is a first swing home run. I absolutely love this layout. I am absolutely loving the kitchen space as my wife does. Definitely a winner in my book. I just like the way everything is sectioned off. And truly being a travel nurse I like the idea of the little office in back. I do agree that the fuse box needs to be moved for easier access. Honestly, I would put it up in one of the cabinets if possible because it looked like you could still open up the upper cabinet. As for the light above the bed, I totally agree. They need one. Or if nothing else just those little bit of reading lights. as for the lights throughout the camper that are the beam lights, I would think they would be OK if you had a dimmer switch. The only other thing that I could see would be to extend the shower another four or 5 inches to fit somebody with large shoulders such as mine lol. Don’t wanna take a shower and come out bruised.😂. But again overall, this fits 99% of what I’m looking for. I don’t think it’s great for a Tacoma but I think if we boost it up to a three-quarter ton like we’re thinking it will do just fine. Great video, buddy. Keep Rockin It Josh.
Great stuff, Nerd! Terrific layout, with some excellent design choices (desk space, front kitchen). A layout like this screams “extended dwell couple”, but the problem with that is the limited cargo capacity. Campers who indulge in extended timeline camping tend to bring a larger amount of personal goods. It wouldn’t take much aboard to either be routinely loaded at capacity or even exceed it. The builder should seriously consider upgrading the axles to higher capacity. Additionally, the absent entertainment center isn’t going to appeal to enough of the market. The no-TV-camping people are out there, but they’re squarely in the minority. The builders should consider a TV mount above the window that hinges the TV flush against the ceiling to stow it. This leaves the counter and window clear when desired, but permits excellent TV viewing alignment from the theater seat.
There's no question the CCC is "modest" at best (and that's being kind really) That is mostly a factor when towing, though. If stationary, then I'm not sure the limited CCC matters as much because you're not putting mobile stress on everything I'm not saying you should go stupid nuts overloading at a site of course
Holy bedroom storage, Batman! And I like the desk. Not everyone needs one, but for those of us who do, it's really nice to see in a smaller RV. Thanks, Josh!
Yeah I like having a little laptop station. I don't think i could work full time from there but if I were out camping and work sayd "hey we have a 30 minute mayday here" I could swing it
I love it. Nice front kitchen in the lower budget class. I like that they'll be extending that countertop out for the chairs to sit under. I also think they should add a few inches to the SIDE of the countertop, so another person might be able to sit there if they wanted. You could still access the cabinet below it. The storage areas in this things is amazing, but we need to be careful how much and where you pack it. I'd like a hide-a-bed, for my tag-along sister. Speaking of hide-a-bed, have you SEEN👀 Winnebago's new version of a 'hide a bed?!" it is awesome! You can see it on 'Matt's towable' UA-cam station, being unfolded...2025 Winnebago Access 25ML. It's crazy and looks very comfortable for a hide-a-bed.
Hey Josh this is a really nice and spacious trailer and the storage is awesome. The only things I would change is to get rid of the dollar store shades and move the breaker box to a more accessible location otherwise it's a home run. Thanks Uncle Josh great walkthrough 👍 P.S. the misses and I are in our early 40's we understand and love all the references. Keep up the amazing job
Josh, I couldn't agree with you more on the placement of that fuse panel. They definitely need to put it somewhere else for easy access. I would not buy this camper for that reason alone.
King of the Nerds delivers another excellent review of an awesome new layout! And, since you keep asking, never stop covering both the good/bad, both the inside/outside, and both the open/road mode views. Us lesser nerds greatly appreciate your thoroughness! ;) The video title nails my reaction to this TT: how is this under 29 feet long? I love this floor plan, the amount of inside storage is incredible (but likely easy to overload with the limited CCC), and I think this is the best layout I have seen for a front kitchen style. The exterior storage is limited but I could live with it by dedicated the under bed storage for exterior needs, especially since there is a built-in griddle. I would like to see a couple of minor tweaks should someone decide to offer this in a fiberglass line: retractable rolling shower door vs. curtain, lights and some sort of storage or shelf above/beside bed, (was this a full queen or king I missed that detail), move the breaker panel to a more accessible location, and TBH that is all. I have no problem with the missing oven since there is a combo micro/convecto cooker, and I have no problem with having a non-mounted TV in the living area. I think I have mentioned before that in my world TV at a campsite is for nighttime inside or daytime outside (football games), so when the sun is done pull the shade down and pop the TV up on the countertop, perfectly across from the very nice looking theater seats. TV size is not limited by the location of a factory installed wall mount; It is only limited by what I am able to carry or fit through the door!
Great desk floor plan. I like the Imagine 267 desk in living room. I sell insurance over the phone and need a desk model. Thanks for sharing and by the way not only are you educational but fun to watch.
The lower cargo capacity might not be as much of a issue when u consider the kitchen storage being up front it'll probably transfer closer to 15 percent or more weight transfer so probably a little over 1000 pounds transfered to the truck.
Ok, just gonna bring it up. Like to see units more favorable to those in the lifestyle. Many private lifestyle areas are set up for RV camping. We've traveled as a threesome before, and a little wider bed and couch would be nice. Our friend doesn't take up alot of space but we'd like to accomodate her. Really appreciate what you do man.
It would be even more awesome if that storage area next to the recline seating could accommodate a stackable wash/dry. That would really increase my consideration of this one.
That’s the funny thing about bedroom slides… They very rarely have a good place to put bedside stands because it would require extending the RV which very quickly adds a lot to the price
Well… Since i was asked.. ALWAYS the Hide-a-bed Couch! Not really fan of all the Reclining-Heated-Cooling-massaging-multi-media- self Affirming - emotionally supporting- with colored lights Chairs. 🤨 I can sit, relax, or have friends / family stay over with one of them-thar plain old, around for decades, sleeper Sofa’s. I might be in the minority here though. 😂 Our 1st camper was a Springdale, love keystones entry level lines! Another great review though, thanks.
Hello Uncle Josh 😀👋! I hope that you and your family are enjoying the New Year! ❤ This trailer desperately needs some windows across the kitchen and also windows on BOTH sides of the bed! Please give everyone my ❤ love, thank you! ❤ Take care! ❤ ❤Auntie Didi ❄️✨️❄️✨️❄️
Decent floorplan, but I'd take a Rockstaff for the quality. I hope you have some modest size\price toyhaulers coming up. Brinkleys are drop dead gorgeous, like Christie, but they're big, heavy and pricey. Trying to decide if I want to spring for a Can-Am Spyder RT, and don't want to triple tow.
My first Hideout review. Nice, I like this one! Q: Will you be recommending to the MFG on the next rev to MOVE the Power Converter Box? And as always, really enjoy your video-mood and content. Silly Humor, FTW. Thanks!
Already have. When I see something I think is a major "deal breaker" concern or if I get the same feedback 3-4 times on the same video, then I pass that along Whether they choose to listen or not ...
To me, not having an oven is kind of a deal breaker, but what always makes it worse, is sticking a microwave in where the oven is supposed to be. Are you supposed to get down on all fours to operate that? 🥺😊
Perfect couples camper. any chance for a no slide model with a north/south bed or twins with king option? Love the look of the cabnits. not a fan of the floor vents. thanks Josh for giving the bad with the good.
Great storage in the kitchen, and love all the counter space. Also love the bar dining instead of a dinette, but do wish there was a better TV option for the loveseat (which I like). Kitchen rawers seem to slide very easily and it seems like they’d open and close constantly on the road. That’s not so great. Also, I am not a fan of the walk-thru bathroom configuration, although I can understand why they did it that way. It’s just … some people take a longgggg time in the bathroom in the morning after their coffee, and I would not want to have to pass through to get ready for the day when certain stinky things are taking place, know what I mean? 🤢 You’re right about having USB outlets - they should be everywhere at this point, including next to the bed. And for the bed, I prefer to have a side table or nook or somewhere like that to put my book, phone, earplugs, etc.
Love the layout. A couple of things, fire extinguisher needs moved as I can see the chair knock8ng it off, floor vents are ok but why in middle of floor? For wall with large window by dinette, maybe a smaller window and place for TV, or the hideaway pop up TV in counter? I can see this for retired couple, so a TV would be good. A simple storage on back bumper answers the lack of flow through storage. 😊😊😊
@JoshtheRVNerd interesting, I would think code would say inside door available from outside, so it could go on other side, plus chair can actually block it where it is currently. But understood.
1) Nice affordable beginners camper I’d say. But is it the second camper purchased the first tine around? Probably not. 2) L❤VE the counter space. But you said that the supplier couldn’t make one solid piece of counter. Ok, I get that; but carpenters for home construction can order counter tops with a 45 degree cut and all the measurements fit for the install, so why can’t the RV industry do the same? I get that these things are assembled by hand but can’t some computerized things be cut for installation and a perfect fit? 3) You said that this camper is for the people who wish to get away from others and not have any sleep overs per se….. somehow I don’t think that the pineapple 🍍 crowd cares so long as they can party 🎉 😂 4) L❤VE the storage. 5) I like the desk. 6) I take it that when you empty your fresh water tanks it goes through the grey outlet? 7) The Springdale was a little more expensive. I presume that’s due to destination charges? 8) You might be getting old, but I’m older than you; so if it makes you feel better, you are a pup 🐶. 😂 9) Great video and nice first time camper. Will have to add it to the infinity list of 37 to consider. 😄
2.) Cliff's Notes answer: Different suppliers & facility limitations 3.) Point lol 6.) Unsure on where the fresh drains offhand. Usually rvs have separate fresh dumps but they're often really under the rv in funky spots 7.) The base cost of springdale and hideout is the same. They're identical products. Options and shipping can skew the final tag
Amazing Kitchen layout! I love the no TV spot! I would just get a projector screen to use as a roller shade over the window and a little projector and BAM entertainment central! Really disappointed in no oven. I think a kitchen like this appeals to cooks, and cooks want an oven! I would sacrifice an overhead storage to put the microwave up there to get the oven. Maybe make it a combo option and see who wants to buy it?
👍🏽🤠 Once again you show me things I’ve never seen. Great kitchen counter, love the extra space, and I actually prefer white lights over yellowish lights, LOL! Decent sized refrigerator, the SHELVES in the upper kitchen cabinets are also a sign they THOUGHT about the customers needs, HELLO! 👍🏽😎👍🏼 And the small desk/make up spot in the bedroom is also great! (Needs a deeper counter for use of a laptop or PC, but still nice!) Edits: 1. I can’t find the shower size anywhere on their or your websites. Do you happen to know the measurements? (No need to measure, not sure I’m interested enough to waste your time.) 2. I absolutely would be more interested in purchasing if that outdoor kitchen was repurposed for a spring loaded Televator. I am one of those weirdos that likes to watch TV, local news and weather in the mornings.
I like those upper kitchen cabinet doors. I'd just as soon not have a TV or just one in the bedroom to check the weather for the next day. My only nitpick is the CCC isn't much for all that storage space. That bedroom slide is almost too deep to me.
I camp in a keystone hideout. It's a 2022. Like the living space. The kitchen has great space. The bathroom is good. Like the bedroom. Can you do a video on hideout fqts?
Nice layout, but does this model come with a fiberglass glass outer walls? My wife would lose it if I showed her a tin roof RV. (That’s what she calls a stick and tin trailer) Also could a shower door be added to it? With the adjustments they are making to this model, I hope they move the fuse box.
They're not currently offering a fiberglass package on this though that would be really nice RV Builders dont offer things like shower optoins/swaps from the factory level. It could be done aftermarket most likely
I would rather have the microwave up top and cabinets down low. And I don't like the floor vents. I would request you to tell us if they have screens on the windows and doors.
Don’t need the desk. More room next to bed for CPAP. More table top punter space for eating. Need big couch. Pull down tv from ceiling. Raise the counter top so stove is on same counter level.
Manufacture MSRP does not stay the same overtime. You may not realize it but a lot of people watch these videos sometimes years later and I don’t want them to get bad info. Current an accurate pricing is always available one click away with the link that I leave you in the description.
I’ve actually seen some trade-in RVs where somebody laid down the rug, basically traced out where the vent would be, then cut that chunk out of the rug and screwed it down under the metal grate lol
The lack of an inverter prepped plug at the desk is a miss in my book. Saw them in the kitchen, but what if you need to keep your laptop topped off or run a monitor or something for a day? Need inverter prep there too. May as well toss a USB c plug while they're at it.
Love the counter space, but the outlest on the left should be back in the corner. Propane oven is not a deal breaker. Wish the dining bar was a bit wider (6-8") if it could be done without hitting the slide when closed. I really wish that someone would develop a ceiling mount for a tv that could pivot down for travelling or when people want to watch something but would store at ceiling level otherwise. Not a big fan of the shower. Big step up and no door is not happy making. I wish that the sink space had a full width counter top instead of cabinet space at that level. The desk space is very nice (can be a makeup station in the morning). Slide box should have some side shelves by the bed. Good catch on the fuse panel. It should be up front near the door. I really like the open feeling of the front half; but the bedroom is kind of a mess.
TY Heath! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and share. Shelves in a slide by the bed is something so many bed-slide rvs are lacking. The thing is they end up more expensive than people would thing A shelf itself is cheap. That's not the issue. But even a 6" shelf on each side of the bed means you have to have an extra foot of length on the RV to make room for them. And each foot on a product like this adds about a cold $1,000 between material, labor, chassis, etc So.. with bed slides we rarely get side stands worth a darn
What an amazing residential layout with the theater seating and breakfast bar👍the only big misses are no TV for “cold rainy days and nights”🫤and the entry level bathroom with a cheap plastic toilet, a low lip shower with a curtain😳and Dollar Store 4” fart fan😢
@ I know, but in a $45,000 MSRP RV😳I expect a standard TV, a porcelain toilet, and a shower that won’t cause a flood in my bathroom every time someone takes a shower😩😂
Like the space. Do NOT like the upholstery. Cabinet color is good. Good storage space. Nice windows. Floor vents. Who cares. Tri fold sleeper, please. Like the bar eating area. Would like the refrigerator to open BOTH ways. I do like the bottom freezer. Love the wombo combo. Prefer a shower door. Bigger fan please but I can Change. Awful, cheap bath faucet. I'll change it. Cheap toilet. Like the desk. Great storage in bedroom. Yes inverter position could be bad. More electric in bedroom. USB and household. Good road mode. Thanks for the review.
The springdale sister has a slightly different interior decor/color. You may prefer that. Here's a look at a different model springdale where you can see the colors: ua-cam.com/video/IoJEAMp6OV4/v-deo.html
Its nice but I'm really short so the top shelves will be out of reach for me not loving the plastic toilet and the shower curtain is anuther dislike for me and floor vents not good for my kitties paws and shedding fur
Big cabinet over the stove needs a shelf in it. that is a waste of space. what am i putting in there? super tall pans? come on manufacturers. women should be designing floorplans.
Don't like it!!!!!!! Main TV hookup right next to the cooking area plus no TVs provided even in the bedroom! Gotta have a place to HANG a TV in front of the theater seating. Just not my cup of tea!
Really great front kitchen! Great layout overall! Thank you Josh!
Yessir!
Holy crap this is a first swing home run. I absolutely love this layout. I am absolutely loving the kitchen space as my wife does. Definitely a winner in my book. I just like the way everything is sectioned off. And truly being a travel nurse I like the idea of the little office in back. I do agree that the fuse box needs to be moved for easier access. Honestly, I would put it up in one of the cabinets if possible because it looked like you could still open up the upper cabinet. As for the light above the bed, I totally agree. They need one. Or if nothing else just those little bit of reading lights. as for the lights throughout the camper that are the beam lights, I would think they would be OK if you had a dimmer switch. The only other thing that I could see would be to extend the shower another four or 5 inches to fit somebody with large shoulders such as mine lol. Don’t wanna take a shower and come out bruised.😂. But again overall, this fits 99% of what I’m looking for. I don’t think it’s great for a Tacoma but I think if we boost it up to a three-quarter ton like we’re thinking it will do just fine. Great video, buddy. Keep Rockin It Josh.
Yeah it's a well done rig. If you can swing a 3/4 ton I'd say go for it.
@ yeah we have been shopping for a good used 3/4 ton. We really don’t wanna get into the huge sized RVs. Just makes sense you know.
@@maxhicksarmor21you have to be Superman to being able to swing around 3/4 ton truck 🚛🚒 with your bare hands 🤜💪💪🦸♀️🦸♀️‼️😲😳
Great stuff, Nerd! Terrific layout, with some excellent design choices (desk space, front kitchen). A layout like this screams “extended dwell couple”, but the problem with that is the limited cargo capacity. Campers who indulge in extended timeline camping tend to bring a larger amount of personal goods. It wouldn’t take much aboard to either be routinely loaded at capacity or even exceed it. The builder should seriously consider upgrading the axles to higher capacity. Additionally, the absent entertainment center isn’t going to appeal to enough of the market. The no-TV-camping people are out there, but they’re squarely in the minority. The builders should consider a TV mount above the window that hinges the TV flush against the ceiling to stow it. This leaves the counter and window clear when desired, but permits excellent TV viewing alignment from the theater seat.
This - 100%!!!
There's no question the CCC is "modest" at best (and that's being kind really)
That is mostly a factor when towing, though. If stationary, then I'm not sure the limited CCC matters as much because you're not putting mobile stress on everything
I'm not saying you should go stupid nuts overloading at a site of course
They nailed it! It's about perfect for me. A good kitchen, a decent bathroom and that bedroom is perfect!
Awesome TY Amy! Glad you like it :)
Holy bedroom storage, Batman! And I like the desk. Not everyone needs one, but for those of us who do, it's really nice to see in a smaller RV. Thanks, Josh!
Yeah I like having a little laptop station. I don't think i could work full time from there but if I were out camping and work sayd "hey we have a 30 minute mayday here" I could swing it

It's crazy and looks very comfortable for a hide-a-bed.
Winnebago has been doing some cool hideabed things for a while but seems to get very little recognition
This one nailed it for me. I think a couple or single could even spend the winter in Tucson with this one.
TY! I was surprised how much I like it
Hey Josh this is a really nice and spacious trailer and the storage is awesome. The only things I would change is to get rid of the dollar store shades and move the breaker box to a more accessible location otherwise it's a home run. Thanks Uncle Josh great walkthrough 👍
P.S. the misses and I are in our early 40's we understand and love all the references. Keep up the amazing job
Good to know someone still gets my goofy aging pop culture references
Josh, I couldn't agree with you more on the placement of that fuse panel. They definitely need to put it somewhere else for easy access. I would not buy this camper for that reason alone.
TY James. Great notes
Love the layout, but I wish there was a way to have space for a CPAP next to the bed...
That's a weirdly common challenge in bed-slide units

It is a very well laid out floorplan for sure
The link really is one of the biggest surprises
Yes , fresh is the word on this one!
Nice showing also.
It's a great floorplan for sure. Thank you for watching!
Great desk floor plan. I like the Imagine 267 desk in living room. I sell insurance over the phone and need a desk model. Thanks for sharing and by the way not only are you educational but fun to watch.
Well, thank you Aaron for the kind words today
I was at a camper show in March and walked into a camper and there was a couple who said it had to much countertop!First time I ever heard that!
I don’t often say this, but… That Customer was wrong lol
The lower cargo capacity might not be as much of a issue when u consider the kitchen storage being up front it'll probably transfer closer to 15 percent or more weight transfer so probably a little over 1000 pounds transfered to the truck.

It would be even more awesome if that storage area next to the recline seating could accommodate a stackable wash/dry. That would really increase my consideration of this one.
In the slide? Not impossible but much trickier
Almost perfect solo camper with some room to maneuver! Not a floor vent fan, but can be overlooked. Small fan and cheap toilet could be replaced.
Nice layout and video Josh. But those floor vents 😮
Yeah, I know
I like the kitchen cabinet doors, the half and half. Didn't see a place for a C pac . Interesting model.
That’s the funny thing about bedroom slides… They very rarely have a good place to put bedside stands because it would require extending the RV which very quickly adds a lot to the price
Your intro made me want one . 🥰
Awesome Ty
Well…
Since i was asked..
ALWAYS the Hide-a-bed Couch!
Not really fan of all the Reclining-Heated-Cooling-massaging-multi-media- self Affirming - emotionally supporting- with colored lights Chairs. 🤨
I can sit, relax, or have friends / family stay over with one of them-thar plain old, around for decades, sleeper Sofa’s.
I might be in the minority here though. 😂
Our 1st camper was a Springdale, love keystones entry level lines!
Another great review though, thanks.
Hey, this is great thank you
Hello Uncle Josh 😀👋! I hope that you and your family are enjoying the New Year! ❤
This trailer desperately needs some windows across the kitchen and also windows on BOTH sides of the bed!
Please give everyone my ❤ love, thank you! ❤
Take care! ❤
❤Auntie Didi
❄️✨️❄️✨️❄️
Happy new year! You're awesome, Didi!
@JoshtheRVNerd Thank you, Uncle Josh, I think that you are AWESOME 👌 too! ♥️
My experience with a "bed slide," It's A No No!
During storms you hear everything, I mean everything! 🙉
For light sleepers, pass on the bed slides!!!
That’s great input thank you
Love the layout! Please ditch the floor vents and give me an oven. Yeah, I'm old school. 😂 Wondering, is a window behind the kitchen sink possible?
Not impossible in theory but not something we can just request
Nice layout
If this does well for 2025, I'll be impatiently curious to see how they tweak it for 2026 improvements.
I'll be surprised if this doesn't do well but you never know. Sometimes I see what I think are great models flounder
I would go nuts looking at those three wall plates at different heights across the counter wall...
Decent floorplan, but I'd take a Rockstaff for the quality. I hope you have some modest size\price toyhaulers coming up. Brinkleys are drop dead gorgeous, like Christie, but they're big, heavy and pricey. Trying to decide if I want to spring for a Can-Am Spyder RT, and don't want to triple tow.
lol what's funny is I didn't even blink when you typed Christie. Picked it up immediately. Nicely played
Happy new year Josh 🎉😊
Happy New Year to you too!
My first Hideout review. Nice, I like this one!
Q: Will you be recommending to the MFG on the next rev to MOVE the Power Converter Box?
And as always, really enjoy your video-mood and content. Silly Humor, FTW. Thanks!
Already have. When I see something I think is a major "deal breaker" concern or if I get the same feedback 3-4 times on the same video, then I pass that along
Whether they choose to listen or not ...
It seems to be great for solo camper ❤
needs a headboard to dress up that bedroom. and a thinner or no window with cabinets over the bed.
To me, not having an oven is kind of a deal breaker, but what always makes it worse, is sticking a microwave in where the oven is supposed to be. Are you supposed to get down on all fours to operate that? 🥺😊
Yeah, that’s totally an issue for some people. I wouldn’t mind it personally, but I know some other people really just don’t like it.
Perfect couples camper. any chance for a no slide model with a north/south bed or twins with king option? Love the look of the cabnits. not a fan of the floor vents. thanks Josh for giving the bad with the good.
I haven’t heard of any manufacturer, considering a no slide model like that. It could be interesting though.
Why not have the TV roll down from ceiling 😂
Great storage in the kitchen, and love all the counter space. Also love the bar dining instead of a dinette, but do wish there was a better TV option for the loveseat (which I like).

I hear ya on the bathroom layout, it's definitely something to consider!

A simple storage on back bumper answers the lack of flow through storage. 😊😊😊
I think the fire extinguisher location sucks but I think it’s also part of a fire code item. I’m not sure they’re allowed to move it.

6.) Unsure on where the fresh drains offhand. Usually rvs have separate fresh dumps but they're often really under the rv in funky spots
7.) The base cost of springdale and hideout is the same. They're identical products. Options and shipping can skew the final tag
Amazing Kitchen layout! I love the no TV spot! I would just get a projector screen to use as a roller shade over the window and a little projector and BAM entertainment central! Really disappointed in no oven. I think a kitchen like this appeals to cooks, and cooks want an oven! I would sacrifice an overhead storage to put the microwave up there to get the oven. Maybe make it a combo option and see who wants to buy it?
yeah oven/convection/microwave debate is tricky.. there just isn't a consistent answer
👍🏽🤠 Once again you show me things I’ve never seen. Great kitchen counter, love the extra space, and I actually prefer white lights over yellowish lights, LOL! Decent sized refrigerator, the SHELVES in the upper kitchen cabinets are also a sign they THOUGHT about the customers needs, HELLO! 👍🏽😎👍🏼 And the small desk/make up spot in the bedroom is also great! (Needs a deeper counter for use of a laptop or PC, but still nice!)
Edits: 1. I can’t find the shower size anywhere on their or your websites. Do you happen to know the measurements? (No need to measure, not sure I’m interested enough to waste your time.) 2. I absolutely would be more interested in purchasing if that outdoor kitchen was repurposed for a spring loaded Televator. I am one of those weirdos that likes to watch TV, local news and weather in the mornings.
Sorry offhand I am not sure on the shower
@ - Thanks, that is an acceptable answer! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

I like those upper kitchen cabinet doors. I'd just as soon not have a TV or just one in the bedroom to check the weather for the next day. My only nitpick is the CCC isn't much for all that storage space. That bedroom slide is almost too deep to me.
TV camping isn’t for everyone
Ty for sharing
Good video Josh
Thanks for watching!
I camp in a keystone hideout. It's a 2022. Like the living space. The kitchen has great space. The bathroom is good. Like the bedroom. Can you do a video on hideout fqts?
I’ll watch for one
Nice layout, but does this model come with a fiberglass glass outer walls? My wife would lose it if I showed her a tin roof RV. (That’s what she calls a stick and tin trailer) Also could a shower door be added to it? With the adjustments they are making to this model, I hope they move the fuse box.
They're not currently offering a fiberglass package on this though that would be really nice
RV Builders dont offer things like shower optoins/swaps from the factory level. It could be done aftermarket most likely
I would rather have the microwave up top and cabinets down low. And I don't like the floor vents. I would request you to tell us if they have screens on the windows and doors.
Any window that opens has screens
I like the ability to use frig and bath in road mode.
I would like alittle more outside storage.
👍
Fair requests. We definitely have other models that'll be better suited for that
Nice job, nerd. I don't like floor vents. I would need to vacuum those vents 10 times a day. My dog, Frannie, sheds a lot.
We actually got a dog that doesn’t shed, which is really cool
Someone has to make a layout close to this under 5k lbs. Bed slide is nice, but the living room area looks so empty and open..
To peel out that much weight would change the RV considerably. The closest I can think is something like a 2516 Rockwood.
@@JoshtheRVNerdWOW 😲😳 over 2.516 Rockwood ‼️
Combining Rocks and wood is quite heavy ‼️
There's no way I can move it with my 1/2 ton 2015 Chevy Silverado truck ‼️
Don’t need the desk. More room next to bed for CPAP. More table top punter space for eating. Need big couch. Pull down tv from ceiling. Raise the counter top so stove is on same counter level.
I'm sure there's a camper out there for your needs. Not all of them are specifically for everyone.
Love the input thank you
I am looking for a working travel trailer. That I can tow with my 79 Ford bronco
The door swings the wrong way.. hinged the other way you don’t block the window
The entry door? They swing that way just in case they pop open in transit. It'll keep it from slamming wide open and staying there
Nice unit, are those Dexter axles?
I can’t keep track of who uses what axles. Apologies. Our local folks could verify
@@JoshtheRVNerd no problem
Hey Josh could you please give msrp in all your veidos
Manufacture MSRP does not stay the same overtime. You may not realize it but a lot of people watch these videos sometimes years later and I don’t want them to get bad info. Current an accurate pricing is always available one click away with the link that I leave you in the description.
Does someone make this model in a fiberglass unit
I’ve never seen one exactly like this, but Heritage Glen, surveyor, and Rockwood all have things that are fairly similar

Would love to see usb connections for both recliners.
I'm on board with that. USB plugs are always handy
get rid of the desk and put in a washer and dryer prep.
I don’t like the floor vents. Takes away options for throw rugs.
I’ve actually seen some trade-in RVs where somebody laid down the rug, basically traced out where the vent would be, then cut that chunk out of the rug and screwed it down under the metal grate lol
The lack of an inverter prepped plug at the desk is a miss in my book. Saw them in the kitchen, but what if you need to keep your laptop topped off or run a monitor or something for a day? Need inverter prep there too. May as well toss a USB c plug while they're at it.
I can't argue with that
spot on valid point
Love the counter space, but the outlest on the left should be back in the corner. Propane oven is not a deal breaker. Wish the dining bar was a bit wider (6-8") if it could be done without hitting the slide when closed. I really wish that someone would develop a ceiling mount for a tv that could pivot down for travelling or when people want to watch something but would store at ceiling level otherwise. Not a big fan of the shower. Big step up and no door is not happy making. I wish that the sink space had a full width counter top instead of cabinet space at that level. The desk space is very nice (can be a makeup station in the morning). Slide box should have some side shelves by the bed. Good catch on the fuse panel. It should be up front near the door. I really like the open feeling of the front half; but the bedroom is kind of a mess.
TY Heath! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and share.
Shelves in a slide by the bed is something so many bed-slide rvs are lacking. The thing is they end up more expensive than people would thing
A shelf itself is cheap. That's not the issue. But even a 6" shelf on each side of the bed means you have to have an extra foot of length on the RV to make room for them.
And each foot on a product like this adds about a cold $1,000 between material, labor, chassis, etc
So.. with bed slides we rarely get side stands worth a darn
so no ability for a tv in that 'living room'?
TV goes on the wall across from the sofa
I like the sterile look
Creepy Uncle Josh 😂😂😂
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What an amazing residential layout with the theater seating and breakfast bar👍the only big misses are no TV for “cold rainy days and nights”🫤and the entry level bathroom with a cheap plastic toilet, a low lip shower with a curtain😳and Dollar Store 4” fart fan😢
TV hook up in front of the window across from the theater seat. Perfect spot. Can also hook up to a computer and work right at the counter top.
@ I know, but in a $45,000 MSRP RV😳I expect a standard TV, a porcelain toilet, and a shower that won’t cause a flood in my bathroom every time someone takes a shower😩😂
@@stevez340 My bad I misunderstood about the TV. Yeah there should be one included I get what you're saying
🎉#NerdHerd
😊
Like the space. Do NOT like the upholstery. Cabinet color is good. Good storage space. Nice windows. Floor vents. Who cares. Tri fold sleeper, please. Like the bar eating area. Would like the refrigerator to open BOTH ways. I do like the bottom freezer. Love the wombo combo. Prefer a shower door. Bigger fan please but I can Change. Awful, cheap bath faucet. I'll change it. Cheap toilet. Like the desk. Great storage in bedroom. Yes inverter position could be bad. More electric in bedroom. USB and household. Good road mode. Thanks for the review.
The springdale sister has a slightly different interior decor/color. You may prefer that. Here's a look at a different model springdale where you can see the colors: ua-cam.com/video/IoJEAMp6OV4/v-deo.html
I am not a fan of slide outs, it is a failure point and a weather damage possibility
I would prefer a hid a bed. Or a tri fold sofa.
👍🏻
Its nice but I'm really short so the top shelves will be out of reach for me not loving the plastic toilet and the shower curtain is anuther dislike for me and floor vents not good for my kitties paws and shedding fur
My grandmother was shorter as well. She always had a two or three stepstool in her camper at any point.
Big cabinet over the stove needs a shelf in it. that is a waste of space. what am i putting in there? super tall pans? come on manufacturers. women should be designing floorplans.
bathroom is a loser! NO PLASTIC SINKS, FAUCETS OR TOILETS and needs shower door, towel racks and tp holder.
Don't like it!!!!!!! Main TV hookup right next to the cooking area plus no TVs provided even in the bedroom! Gotta have a place to HANG a TV in front of the theater seating. Just not my cup of tea!
Totally fair thank you
Also shower could be better done better shower head.
I know that if only a showerhead needs changed out, then our stores can make that happen pretty easily
Sounds like you want a champagne camper on a beer budget.
