@mindseyedesign3 жыл бұрын
What is affordability to a broad customer base? Are there specific numbers that fit into what the general public would or wouldn't consider affordable? Having featured thousands of campers on this channel, most of which are above average in price, luxuries, amenities, and new, specifically, for a reason - they are more entertaining to view in short features on KZbin. My observation regarding prices is that the prices are at market value. However, you can buy a camper at almost every price range to fit nearly every budget. You can also save money buying an earlier model, used, or without bells and whistles. We have a dedicated playlist to the lower price range campers available with many options to add to that list. For the most part, our viewers tend to watch the more lavish trailers featured than the more common basic builds. Watching our videos, I would expect the campers to be higher-end campers with higher prices than what the once in a blue moon camper would pay. I am only trying to be fair to the companies we feature, and I see these types of comments often enough to feel it's essential and point out we feature campers meant for people who would live in them, camp, and frequently travel in them, along with understanding what fair market value is. The term "you get what you pay for" comes to mind, especially when shopping for campers. If we browse the Alibaba website, there's a good chance we find some knock-off campers (borrowed designs) with considerably lower price tags. I doubt they will include a warranty, but it's another option.
@priestesslucy3 жыл бұрын
@@mindseyedesign thank you for the indepth response addressing that topic. It's easy to see all this cool stuff and lament the price point, but the fact remains no matter how high it might feel to some, there's clearly a market for that price point or it couldn't sustain itself

Cortes is my fav. I do like plain/modern interior. I want ease in cleaning and this one is it. Spray cleaner inside, walls too. The full frig./freezer is a plus. The length 17' is manageable for just about anyone and the dry weight is 1800 lbs. Even loaded it can be pulled my many autos: SUV, small trucks on up. 30 gal H20..great! Bathroom/toilet/sink all good to go. You can change the color too. No rust anywhere (love that) and a 4 season trailer will open many options. I also like the Starvision, modified pop up camper. Pop Up campers "can" be awesome, but not the ones we have in the USA. They have needed a redesign for many decades. Anything cool like this that I can park in my garage is a huge plus.

@@amandawilcox9638 your are most definitely right to be cautious about the 8k gvw. Anyone considering the tiny drop should know how to tow a trailer, & have at least 2500 with a trailer brake set up on it. It really wouldn't hurt to look into finding someone to help teach them about hill & mountain driving. It would be tragic to lose trailer then truck brakes coming down a decent to serious grade. And those are worse out west. I drove TT for over 20yrs. I've seen quite a few travel trailers, motorhomes, & fifth wheels on their sides, roofs, & up run off ramps too many times. Motorhomes, I wouldn't ride in 1 of those for anything. It doesn't take much of an accident to make them look le a bomb went off going down the road.

Agreed, kitchens take up a lot of room, but it all depends what kind/where of camping you want. I would want a 4 season camper, dont want to be afraid of snow or below 30 degree weather.

The tiny job is hands down the best design because it does not feel like a camper but a home. Do not like the hotel feel. I love the red and turquoise warm colors and the 2 comfy stool eating area. The great feature is sleeping with the stars loft. A bathroom. I would live in this year round if I could but alas Canada is too cold. Is there going to be an all year round insulated, heated one to come? I would rather buy this than a tiny house it has all the features and sleek design and you are mobile. Come on even a toilet and shower and small w.m. This is down scale at its finest. I used to have a 5 bedroom farmhouse large acreage and would feel comfy in this. Space is over rated for sure. 2nd choice hands down is the Australian one with pull out BBQ genius design also.
