I really like the marine influence. This is nice 👍

[@patriciamuskevitsch8359]

It's a nice rig.

[@robreuler144]

Glad I only spent 1 Minute on this.

[@robertherbert1306]

At 50,000 dollars 😳 all I can say is good luck!

[@jmpattillo]

Yeah, making fiberglass campers profitably is hard apparently. Lots of companies have come and gone.

[@kylekoeberlein]

There is definitely a small market for these but some see the value in how they are built and the potential to easily last a life time. There is a lot of money in the construction and Cortes Campers is one of only 2 manufacturers that are double hulled. Not for everyone if you’re looking for a budget camper.

[@deanvoss7098]

You mean 5000 right?

[@robertherbert1306]

@@deanvoss7098 🤣🤣🤣 Now that’s funny right there

[@sharonwalk9749]

Given the price there are better options out there with better layouts - 50k and it only sleeps 2? You narrowed your market WAY down just doing that! For 50k I’d go with an Oliver all day long.

[@ramserr1]

First thing I'm thinking just looking in the door... I'm going to slip, fall, and bust my arse on that floor. Yes, I see the knobby bits on the floor, BUT man is that floor going to be hard to clean because of all the knobby bits.

[@alcolavista-22]

This is nice thanks for a good presentation..this is a camper that will last for 25 years like my 97 4 runner🤓

[@godwins1298]

Thanks Kyle blessings with your new baby on the way thanks stay safe

[@jesserevilla992]

Great walk through. I wish all TT units would come with a Shower-miser recirculating water until hot. The Stove Exhaust fan should had been a true exhaust a simple cut-out after it comes out of the mold. And one water tight hatch inside the wet bath to hold a roll of toilet paper and shaver etc.

[@jamiedildine1785]

That’s exactly what I was thinking as well. How many showers will you get without saving what little water there is in your tank? Especially when you need that water to wash dishes and prepare food. Then, WHY wouldn’t you put a water-tight cover over the toilet paper in an area with spraying water?!

[@kylekoeberlein]

Great suggestions.

[@sherrynordan9821]

I’d be hard not to splash water right onto the seating. But to have a fiberglass camper is the way to go!!!

[@karengeorge9039]

1 - Must - have a bathroom door (Nautilus retractable might work well) 2- Must - the screens and shades need to reversed (shade pull up from the bottom, screens the top, i.e. Max tear drop campers) gives privacy and ventilation. 3 - Is there room for a level flip-up counter extension? 4- Can this be made into two twin beds?

[@kenlarson518]

Twin beds are a must for us as well. I like the idea of reversing the screen/shade too.

[@stuartstuart866]

We removed the bathroom door in our Casita travel trailer, it seemed to always be in the way. We use a curtain for privacy. Twin beds are nice as you get older and have the associated aches and pains.

[@CharmaineSilva777]

Oh, I wish the shades and the screens on the windows were opposite sides. The screen should come down and the privacy shade should pull up so you could leave the top part open for air flow.

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

This is a casita wantabe!

[@1fan164]

Casita has a plywood floor. Cortes has composite material in the floor as well as rest of the unit.

[@griswald7156]

I like a window in the bathroom…

[@nyneeveanya8861]

I like this one. With elevated toilet I should be able to stand easily with my leg problems. The electric jacks help me also. Since I usually travel alone I could leave the bed made up all the time since there is a small table and seat for eating. This would be easy for me to haul with my van that has a 3500 tow limit. Can I get it with a longer outside grab rail by the door?

[@sharonrice8255]

Thanks for giving so many Great tips! Also love the textiles they chose & the clean interior look.

[@bkanegson]

If an appliance needs to be replaced, and the manufacturer discontinues the model, or goes out of business, can a plug and play swap still be made without a mess of cutting and fiberglass surgery?

[@fodor7069]

Load up a fibreglass septic tank with expensive options , and give it a 100% markup. I can’t afford such luxury in my condo. Neither the environment nor I , can afford.

[@Alpha-to9od]

I had a 1964 clark cortez MH and i only wish for it to be fiberglass because it was magnet for rust.. now this trailer resembles that MH .

[@josephrolph8483]

Looks great big change in a year

[@Erin-Thor]

Please consider putting a link to where we can see your website and/or the manufacturer’s website to view all options and specs.

[@anitarohm5031]

I like it, but I see about 9 design defects that should be fixed for that price.

[@kylekoeberlein]

Would love to hear your feedback on what you would change.

[@johnnyledbetter2119]

I love these! Question: I'm 6'2 can I stand up in that shower? Love the space in the shower and love the overall residential feel of the appliances etc. I really like the minimalist essence that exists here.

[@kylekoeberlein]

Floor to ceiling in shower is 5' 10".

[@godwins1298]

I really like it but would love to see a light in the compartments

[@pamelaschilling9464]

Where's door to bathroom

[@pattyellen1954]

So can I customize a bit ? Bigger tires, higher road clearance...raised whatchamacall ims sweet

[@thomasdunn8214]

No mention of holding tank sizes. I couldn't find this on their website either. Where is the black tank flush? No bathroom door - the ladies especially won't like this. A good start by Cortes with many fine marine features. Keep improving and you will sell lots of them.

[@lkbarrett39]

Ladies won't like a shower curtain? Why?

[@kevinclark6289]

It's a big-time shame that door doesn't match the rest of the camper. Sticks out like a sore thumb. That shower curtain and not a door on the bathroom is a huge fail. That makes me wonder what else they didn't think of oh I know not providing even a clothes rod for the closet how stupid is that. Don't get me wrong looks like an interesting trailer but it has a ways to go to be refined.

[@kylekoeberlein]

Thanks for the feedback Kevin. I understand your comment with the door and the best solution would be to wrap or paint the door to match. The metallic finish is built into the shell when they spray the materials into the mold. The door is purchased for a manufacturer. The closet rod is a easy add for us but some people may want to use that space different than others and part of the fun of owning something like this is making mods to make it your own. You will be impressed if you ever see one in person and was just at the plant a few weeks ago.

[@christinelites3269]

It’s a wet bath - most don’t even have a curtain

[@bobgrabowski2232]

Can you get any color/pattern for the awning or are they standard?

[@user-xt5oe2gm5v]

Ah. A land yacht. I would name mine Aunt Trudy's Bumblewagon or Jaques Blanchard or The Silver Dagger. We'd call her Dag for short.

[@user-xt5oe2gm5v]

Bigger On The Inside.

[@RVTA]

I called Cortes Camper. It would be nice if Cortes Camper would answer their phone.

[@karenfreund208]

In a all season camper, how do you prevent the water lines and water tanks from freezing?

[@garydavis5336]

Only one 120 volt outlet inside kind of sucks... Do these come with solar?

[@griswald7156]

My eriba has a galvanised chassis..

[@1fan164]

I don’t think people understand how light and efficient this is but I’m looking for cheaper sparsely furnished “Toy hauler” model.

[@BB-in1fb]

Hi , don't know why but I am wondering if any of the fiberglass cracks or breaks what do we do if we have a Cortez Camper ?????

[@kylekoeberlein]

Same as repairing a boat and would just contact your closest boat repair shop. Not a hard fix, just needs to be someone who knows what they’re doing.

[@sonnysena]

Put the light back on.

[@starr8008]

I am seeing some wires loose on the bottom of the unit. Is there a reason why? It would seem as though there is a missing panel to encase that space.

[@kylekoeberlein]

We do a detailed pre delivery inspection before a unit is delivered to a customer including testing all systems as well. A wire could of come loose during delivery from the factory and can be fixed.

[@Erin-Thor]

@@kylekoeberlein I think you misunderstood @Starr ‘s question.

[@kylekoeberlein]

Probably the wires that go to the tank heaters that just need to be tied up out of the way. Grey and black tank are sandwiched between frame rails.

[@monicae67]

I really like the full bathroom, 3 burner stovetop, and the oven though small is an added bonus but the sterile ALL white interior, lost me. There is no warmth to it at all. I understand that they’re know for manufacturing boats but this is a camper, not a boat. I must admit that I’m concerned about cracking.

[@patriciatwalsh4479]

What is the cost of this unit as is? Camper is nice for single or couple.😊

[@kylekoeberlein]

It can be challenging to manage both business discussions and KZbin interactions simultaneously. It's important to maintain a high level of customer service without resorting to pressure tactics. Additionally, avoiding multiple platforms can help minimize interactions with trolls. Feel free to email at [e-mail] if you want to start up a discussion or you can also call the main dealership line at [phone] and ask for me.

[@Ann-zr2py]

Similar to Casita

[@kylekoeberlein]

Much different than Casita considering Cortes is double hulled and Casita is not.

[@ritaweygint4038]

It’s beautiful, but too heavy for me… They should make a tiny one! Like 13 ft.

[@kylekoeberlein]

This only weighs 2,680 lbs. Are you trying to get down to 1,500lbs and thanks for the comment.

[@beverlyjordan8957]

50,000 ????? Shame on you. Not even a door on the bath for a little more privacy.

[@kylekoeberlein]

You need to understand the build process and materials used. This is one of only 2 fiberglass campers in production that are double hulled. There are cheaper options that are of lessor build. Can’t compare apples to oranges.

[@MrMcgooOG]

Please change the intro music.. Its giving me anxiety

[@REVELN]

For 50.000 usd is horrible
