Step up to a higher end Travel Trailer RV from Flagstaff! 29RSWS

[@Foxboss9]

Windshield is a DOT approved laminated piece just like you find on your automobiles. They do not shattered like tempered glass. So if you get a stone chip, they can be repaired just like a car. As far as somebody mentioning heat loss and condensation in the front window, in those rare instances reflectix is all that's needed. . Regardless if it's a single air conditioner or dual air conditioner since 2019. They have been providing most units with 50 amp service. Some of the best features of Flagstaff and Rockwood Is they use 5/8 tongue and groove plywood not particle and it is glued and screwed. Another great feature Is that they laminate their own walls on site. It is a vacuum laminate. Applied to a six-sided aluminum frame that is double welded at every aluminum Junction. What that gives you is a very sturdy structure. To prove how strong their design is You can. literally fist strike the sides of the slide and ceiling of the RV and not have any Flex whatsoever Instead just a resounding thud. The Torsion axles provide a much smoother ride compared to Wishbone Leaf design and With a lot less moving Parts longevity becomes standard

This is a very nice, roomy, yet rather light rig. Thanks for showing it. bill in Florida

[@sportsfaan]

We bought a '18 Flagstaff 29RKWS in 2017 and to date it has been a perfect rig. No issues AT ALL. We love it and the two couches. We tow it with a '11 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab 6.2L and it tows great. We don't LOAD the trailer down ever, and I travel with my tanks empty. I haven't met a hill that I cannot accelerate up, including the Tahoe area, Mammoth Mtn., I-8 coming out of El Centro to San Diego or the Grapevine on I-5. The only thing we don't care for is the front window. It is not insulated at all, so we keep silver insulation covering it on the inside rendering it useless.... Recommend.

[@justinterry5146]

We just got a rockwood 2911bs. Different floor plan but same construction. Very happy with it so far.

[@SpykersB]

As a Flagstaff owner with a windshield, camping in spring and fall with dual pane windows and the spray foam under carriage I can tell you that we got Zero condensation, and this trailer was significantly warmer than our 10 year old previous trailer. Love, love the light that you let in with the windshield! Cheers 🍻.

[@NGLCOCONUTS]

I’d love to see a video that does a full overview of slides. For example, how the seals work, how to adjust your slide, slide maintenance, etc. That’s the one thing on my trailer that I know very little of.

[@wrodney5]

One nice build quality feature with the Flagstaff and Rockwood line is in interior framing. The bed and dinette bases are framed in aluminum.

[@DavidHBurkart]

Great value with higher end features for $35000

[@bradbucklin2692]

Really nice layout I don't typically like slides on both sides but I do like the open area And the inside kitchen is perfect

[@mikejordan9220]

I have the exact same trailer but it is a Rockwood. The name is the only thing that is different. I like the trailer but check the fiberglass walls carefully before purchasing one. Mine delaminated after owning it for 5 months and had to have the entire sidewalk removed and replaced. Warranty covered it but I wonder how the repair will hold up over time.

[@MrTortureandtorment]

Very nice Flagstaff. Window problem could be lack of effective sealing around windows to start.

[@gali01992]

Very nice! But I wish there was a travel trailer with a way of making a small home office in it. Just large enough to stick a computer into with room for an office chair.

[@gali01992]

@@markymark6928 I thought of that but I need something more permanent. I don't want to have to disconnect the computer and put it away every time I need to use it for a meal. But thanks for the suggestion.

[@brandonsherwood1508]

I personally like this floorplan. As someone who partially full times out of a travel trailer (working pipeline), as long as it has ample storage space I prefer not to have an island. Since they typically don't have the openness of a fifth wheel.

[@juliannecoogler9530]

We have a Flagstaff 29RBS and love it! Great TT for the price.

[@jonanddenise112]

We purchased a new Rockwood trailer with the front windshield glass. Did the delivery inspection with the dealer, pulled it 6 hours to our home and found that the windshield got hit with a rock and was cracked. Cost just under $900 to get it replaced...

[@pameladale3746]

You are an expert. Thank you.

[@blzt3206]

That's a great trailer for 35 grand

[@lindarainey5759]

Love it! No island!

[@randallwiebe8958]

We have a trailer similar to this and we added a 2’x3’ wheeled kitchen trolley that we move around to where we need it. It works wonderfully.

[@Denden505]

If you have children it would give you a lot of room for them to play inside. The outside storage would be a problem since it is not a passthrough. Might have to put in a sliding storage unit.

[@albyodartey9081]

You don't see these normally in my country buh I will definitely love to own one😃😃😃....love watching your videos GH 🇬🇭

[@alvashoemaker8536]

Gee...the"commentator" is VERY GOOD...! (NOW, I've had to learn to talk again, following a car accident; THAT said, this man's voice is WELL modulated...and, his inflections patterns are PERFECT!!) Those qualities took me YEARS to re-learn!! In addition this video is a very good ,'reveal'; the in-depth explanations are helpful--- 👍😃👣

[@BTBRVReviews]

Thanks! I appreciate the compliment and wish you well.

[@edhlavaty6914]

We have a lighter very Similar Rockwood. Just no outdoor kitchen and the living room has the theater seats where this Tv is. We actually looked for a year and it was mainly because we didn't want the Island taking up the floor space. Only had a couple minor problems in this going to be the 3 rd season. Belly covering screws came out, cord on the shade and a stabilizer motor had a gear break. They warrantied that. 2906Ws I think is the model

[@dalesimpson2609]

Finally a TT with side platforms beside the bed.

[@nicknack202000]

I was just trying to find a review for a good travel trailer for my ram 1500 big horn. This guy presented so much math and science about the topic, now im more confused than ever. Back to the tents, family!

[@truthdogschell8473]

This trailer would be perfect for my first one!

[@THE_BaconPirate]

Speaking of slides, I've always wondered how the seals work in keeping out the elements. Is it strictly the rubber flap that runs along the exposed edge, or is there a multiple system of flaps and seals that aren't easily seen?

[@sargentthomas]

Tom Sparrow on my travel trailer there is a rubber seal on the outside and inside and so far no leaks,

[@matthewerwin4677]

2 flaps. One on the inside, one on the outside.

[@NordicNevs]

It really needs an island. Open space is good but layout helps a lot. The color choices in the interior are questionable at best. Not a big fan. The exterior looked great and was functional. The drop frame is a major plus but again as soon as you stepped inside I felt like we were looking at an older RV.

[@dev4bucks]

I prefer the island.

[@JasonS_IN317]

Ditto that. Our Laredo 330RL is almost identical in the back half but has the island and I would miss it if it weren't there.

[@brandonhallman2929]

I watch alot of your videos. I am looking for a new travel travel for full time living for a single guy. With the most bang for my buck. Help would be appreicated!

[@S8BB]

I like the interior of this one a lot, just wish someone would come up with a good way to incorporate dedicated bunks for kids into this style of trailer. Seperate bunk rooms are nice, but they add so much length and weight to the trailer. If they could do something like replacing the rear couch with 2-3 twin bunk beds that run the same direction as the couch, or use that idea to incorporate some variation of that... idk.

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

My concern is the glass shower door because they can jam & the glass can shatter. Otherwise not a bad looking camper.

[@blzt3206]

I'm thinking it's plexiglass but I could be wrong

[@MickPsyphon]

You had me, until my head slammed off th 6'3" shower ceiling. 😋

[@sportsfaan]

We have an '18 29RKWS Flagstaff and I am 6'4" and I can take a shower fine in our unit (same shower as this one) - thankfully, the skylight is there. It's not "roomy", but for the amount of time spent in the shower overall, it's very doable.

[@MickPsyphon]

@@sportsfaan I'm 6'6". More likely than not, it would be too low for me. Oh, well! I like Josh's videos anyway. So, I'll continue to educate myself until I can present my -boss- I mean... my wife... 😁 with a business case on the right unit for the two if us. 😋👍

[@Bie2013]

You goddamn tall people man im so jealous.

[@S22ParaCop]

Mick - I feel your pain. I have bumps on my skull named for things I’ve slammed into.

[@SteveOfMaine]

I'm 6' 4" If you can make it im sure I can make it! " Always could modify the sky light if I needed haha!

[@tytomlinson7831]

Very nice tt. I would have liked to have seen the outside kitchen

[@grandemage]

Interesting layout, does seem rather under utilized though without a center kitchen island. Been curious if your channel has thought about doing truck campers lately? Was originally thinking of a 5th wheel but after seeing some 1-3 slide large truck campers it’s been on the back of my mind as an option. Just not a lot of decent KZbin channels talking about them, especially in-depth like you do.

[@bones549]

Can you get to fridge and toilet with slides in?

[@mikejordan9220]

You can't get to the fridge. The bathroom is directly in front of the outside door and you can get in the bedroom. I like that I can get in my bathroom when traveling but you have to put the right had slide out about a foot to be able to squeeze through and get to the fridge.

[@Erin-Thor]

Wait... the axel capacity is appropriate? The axels are AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY. To me as a former engineer, this says it’s not built to last, they built it with the cheapest parts to service the load for the shortest time needed (warranty period). They built this to last at least as long as the warranty, and saw no reason to plan for the unit to have a long service life.

[@christopherskinner5916]

I'm in the market for something like this .exactly like this actually

[@PsychicWarrior100]

Thank you.

[@derekbuttery4776]

nice. loved the "pull out counter" space, BUT given a lot of these units use folding dining tables, isn't it time we saw a "folding island" of some kind?, an optional extra maybe. with today's tech and design wouldn't be too heavy nor too expensive to manufacture. peace.

[@JEEPIMPACT]

When are you getting a new RV

[@JeffSchloeter]

Nice, how is it "Super Lite"?

[@MrTomengle]

Don’t have an outside kitchen on my current fiver. Is it really all that handy or just something else for a thief to pry open and steal? Thanks.

[@EverythingRVbyPat]

Hey JD, I love the layout of this one. That slide out extension to the counter makes it like an island but not really. It is like a peninsula but no storage under. I think you would be fine on the storage features. Flagstaff coaches are pretty nice and seem like a quality built product. It would be a great coach for a couple for long term camping. It has one level for those who may have a difficult time with the stairs too. It gives you many 5th wheel features without having the hitch in the bed of your truck. Some like that idea, but I still prefer the 5th wheel or gooseball connection; just a personal preference. Great review... Are you going to get this one or something different? Thanks, Pat

[@LordFalconsword]

I was impressed with that long slideout on the counter too. Makes you wonder how wiggly it is, though.

[@jwrappuhn71]

That's nice.

[@stephenlozada7158]

[@raypriest3752]

Will you be at the Houston RV show this weekend?

[@BTBRVReviews]

Unlikely. Sorry

[@MrTomengle]

Wish it had a double fridge.

[@jamesnunn5452]

Another KZbinr suggested LT tires to replace trailer tires. What is your thoughts.

[@gordonlilley1283]

Is that carpeting in front of the refer and stove? Also what is the length.

[@growtradelearn1079]

Would a f-250 be too close to max payload? in terms of safety.

[@brianm1916]

It always feels odd to me when the furniture is narrow to fit in the closed RV and a big dead space with the slides open. Almost like a toy hauler bay that can't haul anything because you need that space to close the slides.

[@LordoftheEagles]

No need for an island. Of you cant make it work with the flip up and pull out counter and the outside kitchen, you need to sit in the recliner and let someone else cook

[@Dogdocphil]

When are YOU going to upgrade? When do we find out?

[@scz718645]

Most of the videos you put up are all trailers with huge living rooms and master bed rooms. Do they not make trailers with bunk beds anymore?

[@randallwiebe8958]

Many trailers that have bunks. Do a search and you’ll find many.

[@cavscout78mr]

I’m confused. That was a higher end TT? Didn’t look like to me and I used to transport RV’s.

[@Adrian-mf2pi]

Does Ron Hoover sell the new Transend by Grand Design? Also is it true warranty changes if you use your trailer full time.

[@BTBRVReviews]

They do at several of their dealerships

[@erhodes352]

If you full time in your RV and it isn’t rated for full time use then the manufacturer can negate the warranty and refuse to honor it. There is wording in the warranty paperwork that defines what is full time use and whether it will void the warranty. There are KZbin videos on the subject and it’s never been and issue for me personally but my understanding is most decent dealers won’t even ask and will just try to get the work covered under warranty.

[@raymondschneider5217]

JD, I've been looking at some of these units (Rockwood/Flagstaff) and, considering the roof construction, wondered abt the difficulty installing rigid solar panels (adjustable or not), and, batt storage area for lithium batts. Any experience or thoughts on these issues? Y'all Be Safe!

[@ItsEverythingElse]

hot water heater atm machine etc

[@andystewart1580]

With this weight can a F350 4x4 diesel handle this? I dont trust site salespeople. Also what about the cable slides are they still used?

[@brandonsherwood1508]

My 01 F-250 7.3 pulls my older 32' unit just fine. Mine weighs in at 10,000 lbs. loaded with empty tanks.

[@JakeSMOTO]

Thank you for the awesome review! Would this be a unit that you would personally recommend pairing to a newer 3/4 ton or 1 ton truck?

[@brandonsherwood1508]

I have an older 32' travel trailer that tips the scale fully loaded at 10,000 lbs. I use my 01 F-250 7.3 to pull it and it does great! The only issue I have is since my truck is an extended cab short bed it can be hairy in a high crosswind situation. Other than that the old dinosaur will cruise just as good as a new one! I wouldn't hesitate to pull this unit with a 3/4 ton.

[@sportsfaan]

@@brandonsherwood1508 for us in high winds we throw more weight on the hitch, and seems to work great. I tow ours with a 1/2 ton SIlverado Crew Cab 6.2L with a 6"lift.

[@bertkelly7650]

Don't know how big that tonge steel is, but it looks puny to me for the size of that trailer.

[@admorris11]

When did these trailers become “travel trailers”? I’ve always known these as trailers...5th wheels as 5th wheels and class a’s as rv’s.

[@erhodes352]

admorris11 - What I’ve always heard is: Travel trailer is an RV that hitches to the rear of tow vehicle. 5th wheel hitches to the bed of the tow vehicle. Motor home is any land based RV with its own motor. So, MH would include Class A, B, C and all the associated types like Super C. RV is any movable unit with living space inside so it includes all of those. Simply saying trailer would mean any non-motorized unit that is towed behind another vehicle by any configuration. So, it would include flatbed, dump, RV, etc. And it wouldn’t matter whether it was bumper pull, 5th wheel, or gooseneck. So, trailer is very generic where as Travel Trailer means a bumper pull RV. At least, that’s how people refer to them here and how I learned it all.

[@blzt3206]

Trailer can mean regular flatbed to a lot of people. Travel trailer always means one you could camp in.

[@rubenbrowning2182]

Is this a full time living

[@Wally2Feathers]

[@wushock92]

[@zweg1321]

I have a trailer with the windows at the head of the bed I hate it

[@MichaelBrown-kk6ck]

How big is the shower?

[@markholland8953]

My only issue with this design, from all manufacturers, is the wardrobe slide in the bedroom. If you want to get to the driver side of the bed, you better have the slide out. Seriously inconvenient.

[@reddymon]

Mark Holland Everyone has their own issue. I hate when the TV is not directly in front of where you would normally sit. I can’t imagine where I would need to get into the bed but could not extend the slide. But I would not find crawling over the end of the bed that inconvenient. But yeah, it’s your money so you get what’s important to you.
