One of my favorite small couples models. Under 30k and has all the must haves I want in a trailer

[@lizknauel8727]

Make that mirror a cabinet

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yes 🙌🏻

[@lizknauel8727]

Wish they’d make the outside kitchen optional. I know, I’m in the minority. But I need storage in the bathroom

[@dianedenham5259]

I agree, totally, with you. Definitely want the bathroom storage. All I need outside is a propanus for a bbq. 😄

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I actually am in the camp of making outside kitchens optional as well

[@trynsurviven2440]

Now that is a shower!!!! I really like this one.

[@pattyolson3842]

Josh, I know some people who can easily nap in a recliner. So, in theory, this unit is snack, crap and naptastic. Great size shower! Since the outside kitchen takes up the under-sink space, they should have included a medicine cabinet in the BR.

[@TrashPanda5150]

Easy enough to install one! :)

[@terryglover6361]

Lot to like in this one! Private bedroom. (Needs true queen though). Hubby size shower+. Towel etc storage good. Medicine cabinet please though. Nice theater seating across from tv. Decent kitchen. I kinda like the floor vents. They really warm up the place quick when needed. Carpet is ok too. I'm one of the weird ones I guess. Prefer single kitchen sink though. Nice pantry! Happy you enjoyed a nice weather day for a change.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@sandraklukas3279]

So funny...yesterday I was looking online at a 22RB so at first glance I was thinking this was one! But looking closer I could see the differences in layout. Definitely need storage above that bathroom sink, even if it's not a double cabinet like the 22RB's. I too would ditch the outside kitchen, even if it's just to have outside storage. I would probably remove the fridge and carry my charcoal or propane grill there, and maybe even an electric griddle for outside use. Definitely like this kitchen more than the 22RB, and even that model has floor vents. Give me storage any day!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah this is the 22RB's cousin in the "conventionally constructed" world of RVing Very similar for sure!

[@roannathephoenix8561]

Personally I'd rather have more storage in the bathroom rather than that outside fridge area. Otherwise I like this and the pricing is great.

[@bugleboy624]

Ok, here's our notes. We're bedroom TV people. When we get tired at night, we want to take what we're watching and finish it in the bedroom or turn on some music and use the TV as a bit of a nightlight. Could we move the TV to the opposite wall? Also: We wouldn't need the outside kitchen. If we got rid of that, got back the under sink storage, moved the storage behind the shower to the counter next to the sink and put a tub in there, we'd be golden. Other than those two things, we really like this camper.

[@rogereide]

A great couples camper. Even as a "starter" class this one has a lot of nice features. Definitely one to consider.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Jay flight and transcend are both good like that

[@driverbass1554]

I really appreciate that you cater to those who request the fisheye lense by using a split screen. It's much better for me being one of those that have a vision processing disorder that the fisheye makes me very uncomfortable. Another thing I love is your steady hand with the camera and not spinning or zooming around. You are a gentleman and a scholar and really appreciate all this! 😃👍

Finally a shower vs a tub. I like this one! Would of loved to see some wall cabinets n a larger mirror in the bathroom. Otherwise its a thumbs up 👍

[@loulentz3107]

This strikes me as a "meat & potatoes" level of camper....has all the needed functions and retains the quality. Looks like a great couples camper without having to spend the $$$ to go camping. Nice model! Thanks as always, Josh, for showing us this camper in detail! ~Lou

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Totally agree!

[@corymoyer8541]

Agreed sir. Wish it had a slide out for a bit more room. I get claustrophobic 😆

[@michaelligue3842]

Good layout , I agree , I would change the bathroom mirror to a medicine cabinet and I like a dinette .

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That mirror thing feels glaring in an RV that otherwise REALLY checks a lot of higher end boxes in a more starter/smarter class

[@jessicamiller2029]

Thanks for showing the inside with the slide closed! We are always trying to figure out if you could walk through or use different things with slides closed. And, most places don't show you that. It really helps when trying to pick out an rv.

Really nice couple’s trailer, I don’t like the floor vent in the kitchen, it just doesn’t look nice and it’s not great to step on while you’re cooking. Nice review Josh!

[@dianedenham5259]

Agreed. But I still prefer it to losing cabinet storage. I'd have a rubber mat (anti-fatigue) anyway, with a cutout for vent. I'll put up with floor vents knowing that they're more efficient. I'll wear slippers and try not to step on the vents. 😬

[@abigailmurray4248]

WOW 🤩 for a first buy RV this might be the one for me, 1/2 ton towable entry level price. Eventually will want a Rockwood (you’ve sold me on those) but this just might check all my boxes for right now. Thanks Josh. I’m happy 😃 to see you so successful. You’ve earned it!!!!!!

Nice couples unit Josh! Definitely could use an overhead storage unit in the bathroom, vented floors are okay if placement is well thought out, axles look very lightweight for this size unit. Great overall design!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thx John. Fair input here I think

[@pattigrigsby9762]

Very nice camper. I would want more storage and floor vents, there are filters that can be placed right under the cover to catch what ever falls in. I’m one who doesn’t mind a camp queen bed, but my son would have an issue if he borrowed it. The shower is a great size. Wish there were more windows on the camp side. Also the large refrigerator so it can be running while in transit. On my list.

I’m liking this trailer a lot. While I’m not a fan of floor heat vents I’m okay with it in this case. I think we’d lose too much storage. And I think it’s time that Jayco get away from the plastic toilets. I’d be swapping that standard one out immediately.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

The SLX series is one of their only lines that uses plastic. Most use porcelain but thankfully it's a pretty easy swap

Very nice! A few suggestions: Nix the outside "kitchen". Love inside kitchen, except needs bigger frig.. Include a TV across from theater seating. Nix the TV mount in bedroom. Mirrored med cabinet in bath instead of mirror only. Don't like the wheels -- suggest some old fashioned hub caps like Vintage RV uses. Closets beside head of bed should extend down to the nightstand -- otherwise the edges are a terrible place to hit your arms! More solar power. Backup camera. 4 power stabilization jack's. Thanks from Arkansas!

LOT of folks asking for optional camp kitchen. TY for this input All of it actually. Good feedback here!

[@jonathanmartin2480]

That lack of bedroom access in "road mode" is a deal killer for me. Prefer the Imagine XLS 22RBE for a similar layout with bedroom access with the slide in.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I get it -- that's why I take the time to show it! That imagine is great for sure. Jayco makes another with nearly the same layout as this in their laminated lineup that will maintain bedroom travel access as seen here: bit.ly/3zKirkI

[@Journey_with_lovey_and_pops]

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

I like this one! With the exception of the bathroom. Loose the outdoor kitchen, add storage under the sink, medicine cabinet would be nice but not a deal breaker. But what are they thinking with that tiny mirror? It isn’t even centered over the sink🤦🏻‍♀️. They did get the larger gray, smaller fresh tank right.

The outside camp 'kitchen' would be an awesome drink station. Regarding the stable steps, they leave any mess or debris on the inside floor when stowed or is that a non issue? I assume people sweep them off before hand, but if its raining out...

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Flipping the steps in can drop dirt into the RV for sure. The idea is to sweep them off before flipping them up to handle the worst of it

Vent covers - I had BOTH of my bathroom vents busted because of bad weather! The big "bubble" over the shower was the first one to go (because of a big rotten branch, during a thunderstorm) busted it and landed on the shower pan. BTW that branch was as big a round as a Morgan Silver Dollar - it was thick, but only about 18" piece made it thru the skylight. The other one was the toilet vent during Hurricane Ian (strong winds turned an acorn into a bullet and it put a hole in the skylight)! Thank God it's the only damage the trailer had. Would the vent cover have worked for me? Just curious...

Josh, if this camper isn’t going to be problematic with the fridge in the slide, It’s pushed the 212QB to the side. The 212 I loved but no counter space for my lovely wife, no receptacles on the wall near countertop, maybe slack on storage too. It’s really tough to decide

I don’t personally feel it’s an issue. Stuff like that is totally normal in FWs for example and not an issue

[@joycemaurer3588]

Love the space but the "weave" pattern to the walls is so retro, ugh. Sorry, I would probably paint over that. Yes to the cabinet over the bathroom sink area and that faucet would have to go. If we keep asking think we'll get a manufacturer to say yes or no to sitting in the seats during road mode? Nice touch with the bath fan tabs for upgrading a cover!

Sure EMBER looks kool but it's over 50k and has no oven and a smaller bathroom. Also this units TV placement is better than the EMBER. OH! And this on has that walk in pantry🤔

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Very different models. This is likely half the price of that Ember so there's something! This is a bit bigger in size but it doesn't have the composite body of the Ember, that heavy duty chassis, off-road trailing arm suspension, factory solar and inverter.. and a bunch of other stuff like that

[@AdventuraHighway31]

No access to the bedroom on the road or at overnight stop where you can't even open your slide and a little too long and too heavy for a half ton are just no go issues for me; small cargo weight and tongue weight no very good either; so far I stick on the Keystone Springdale 202RD for our next buy. Other than that very nice trailer for an HD truck 👍

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Cool profile pic btw :)

[@randycessna4403]

Nice trailer....very thought out...But!! Could they lower it somewhat for saving on gas?? I get it...if its higher inside in looks like manufactured home...gives that "Wow" thing mom does!! But what if they had a less tall,more aerodynamic model that improved not just towing but FUEL MILEAGE! WOW NOW!! So now your gas truck that gets 7.5 mpg,now gets 9!! In the days of 4.50$ a gallon gas and the world govt killing us...maybe it would sell.Also...could this model have a variant model in a non slide out?

Something overlooked easily is how their integrated chassis and a-frame actually lower the floor instead of just raising the ceiling I am firmly of the idea none of these offer anything in the way of aerodynamics. They’re all pretty much rolling bricks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I do not like floor vents. They are in the way in the kitchen and bath. To optimize storage I think the outside snack station would be better repurposed as bathroom storage . Also am not enthusiastic about a camp queen.

[@rosemarydoran9907]

There isn't much I don't really like about this trailer! Swap out the camp queen firva residential queen and I am good to go! I really like The farmhouse decor and the fact that it has a theater seat option in place of a dinette. The prep space is decent in the kitchen and I would definitely go with a 12 volt refrigerator. The bathroom is great, particularly the shower. The only improvement to be made there would be if there was a door on the shower instead of a curtain. They even put a door on the linen storage! I didn't notice where the floor heating vents were so I can't definitively comment on that feature. If they weren't in inconvenient locations that I am okay with it. The only improvement I would like to see is potentially a fireplace underneath the entertainment center. A second outlet in the kitchen perhaps near the left side of the stove or under the window would be ideal for additional appliance use. I would probably upgrade to a larger fan in the bathroom to allow for greater air flow in getting moisture out of the bathroom as I didn't notice there was a window in there that could be opened. A really great trailer!

[@DMRSIX]

Does it have a nice 1 piece TPO roof? What about a prime pooping position?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I'm not really aware of any RV that _doesn't_ have a 1pc roof There are multiple different materials used for roof membranes out there. MFGs change them regularly based on supply and cost. I don't believe they're currently using TPO But beware people who push things like "15 year roof warranty" - That kind of stuff can lead you to believe the _entire_ roof is guaranteed for that time when in reality it's only the roof membrane itself (and that 15 years prorates down to nearly nothing btw) No matter the material on the roof the seals will always be the weakest link in the chain.. and they all use the same roof sealant. The membrane will outlast those seals I've always been firmly of the belief it's what's _below_ the roof line that matters since that's where brands can start to vary

the ladders on these campers are rather useless with the 150# weight rating. therefore, it really needs to be on the left side so you can mount your grill holder on the right side of the camper, where the cooker hooker is! Just saying! Nice bathroom, nice storage! I am kind of opposed to slides therefore I have a 21 212QB, but this is very tempting! thanks!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

*Quick bit of info:* The ladders are now 250lb rated. That's something that was mandated for RV builders around the start of the 2021 model year

[@jthomasusaf1987]

Wish we would have found this when we were shopping... ended up in a 212qb... and aren't happy and trade in values suck

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Man sorry to hear that. What about the 212 are you seeking to change? The slide for more space?

[@Empok_Nor]

Great couples camper but Jayco's idea of an outside kitchen is way off. Space would be better served by giving back storage under the sink.

[@dianedenham5259]

Agreed 👍

[@stevez340]

You can tell that we’re in the midst of the highest inflation in over 40 years when a 2022 entry level stick and tin trailer with a plastic toilet, shower curtain and no TV is considered budget friendly at $42,000😕😕😕

[@jimcramer9656]

Tends to happen when you print near ten trillion in two years 🤷‍♂️ I’ve seen these for sale under 35k. I wouldn’t mind the plastic shitter but it won’t hold my sister.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I wish I could, sir. Material costs have dropped. Wood is cheap again. But RV invoicing from MFGs isn't budging

Hate the floor vents

Josh we are interested in a fifth wheel can I contact you at the dealership ?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I'm not in sales myself so I would recommend contacting our team members directly. I'm happy to assist with a few quick "get you started" sort of questions though. There are links at the bottom of this video's description with my social channels you may use to reach me if you'd like!

[@alantrombley2720]

Josh, Is there a way to contact you directly to ask a question?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Check my various social channels (links in my vid descriptions) I am not in sales myself but happy to offer some assistance

[@alantrombley2720]

Ok, I am on NO social media, I m proud to say. I will give my comment here. The fresh water tank fill cover on trailers should have a locking cover to prevent scoundrels from dumping or adding any foreign substance to the fresh water tank. Especially when your trailer is at a storage facility. I cant seem to find a locking cover at a parts department. Could manufacturers include one? Could be keyed with the storage doors in the trailer. As you have influence in the RV industry maybe you could make this a standard part on all trailers going forward.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@alantrombley2720 that’s a great point.. Ty for this I am not aware of any kind of locking cover myself short or adding something like a thermostat cover to one..

[@amybishop3884]

How much 2022 240rbs

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Our website displays anything we have in stock with pricing

[@davidaukofer]

Why do they still use plastic toilets instead of porcelain? If you only stock 1 isn't cheaper?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Not necessarily cheaper but easier. It's definitely a cost item though I'm seeing some brands like East to West include porcelain in their stick and tin campers so there's a potential changing trend there the industry is exceptionally slow to adopt Cost-related things

[@americanrambler4972]

I like a number of details on this one, but it does not warm up my buy it meter very much. Don’t really know why this one does not grab me. I like the bathroom quite a bit, I like the exterior and underside, the sewer dump, I like the lower ride height. Like the overall lower exterior height. I like the cleaner roof layout, and those little flanges on the roof vent. I like the lower rounded side skirting. But I don’t remember much about the rest of the inside, and I just finished the video. Maybe that’s the problem. This one is not one I like the idea of spending time in. I don’t have a passion for this one like many of the others I see. Something is missing. It’s like a white bread sandwich with nothing in the middle and a glass of warm water. Where’s the ham & cheese?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I get it. Now and then I see one everyone else goes crazy for and I'm like "...this thing? THIS is what gets people excited?" And often I love models nobody else likes lol :) I actually heard from a few builders a few of my personal favorite layouts are being discontinued which sucks

[@rubenmanitowabi]

Nice rig don’t think the dinner table style is very handy

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

What would you prefer to see??

[@originaljasonbourne]

1) I'd rather have 2 outlets in the kitchen in horizontal position 2) for the sake of more storage I'd go with the floor vents 3) no medicine cabinet?? just hang a toiletry bag 4) change out bathroom fan for a better one, not a deal breaker 5) don't quit your day job, leave out the jokes, that's what comedy clubs are for

[@lizknauel8727]

Give me storage!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Never the wrong answer!

[@TexasScout]

I realize that this is a budget trailer, but the plywood sticking out underneath the bed was pretty tacky. Other than that I like the layout it has everything you need nothing you don’t and hopefully the price reflects that.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

This is something I've heard a few times. I get what you're saying. It looks unfinished in a sense. I think they're showcasing their use of plywood instead of OSB But that "raw" under the bed look is something I've noticed even up thru a LOT of big fifth wheels. Brands like Rockwood with a "finished" bed deck are uncommonly rare

[@FrankF1965]

Give peas a chance.
