[@terrymonto4801]

Keep doing what you do. I like the way you take your time to show everything and give your honest option.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks, will do!

[@goodfreak82]

Love the road mode reviews

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Good to know

[@leanngoodall7602]

I love the live description videos. We get the information and your honest, off the cuff reactions.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Good to know. Ty

[@lizbetty6661]

You do you, Josh. You’re unique and honestly my favorite evaluator of RVs. I also enjoy your humor. I’m going to be a new RV adventuror is looking for my 2nd RV the 1st time 😀

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Welcome aboard!

[@drendamills8960]

I like the voice over option best. Thanks Josh for even considering what your viewers prefer.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ty

[@TLR5759]

We really like you show all the doors open,not opening each door to show us you can! Also the slid in view is well done!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ty. It’s good to know

[@Jesuslovesyou709]

This is honestly a good family camper. I've never saw one like it and honestly this one is absolutely perfect. Rockstaff is seriously changing the game! Thanks nerd! 🤝

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Glad you like it! It's super unique

[@Timothy_Smith]

This is a nice looking RV. Their bedrooms are pretty much second to none.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Their more blunt nose design allows for execution style a lot of other brands just cannot match

[@briankrone2631]

Love the way you do your walkthrough videos especially your honesty about the little things as well as showing us every point of the RV... plus your humor is top notch. Thanks for being you Uncle Josh 👍

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Appreciate it, glad you're enjoying them!

[@terrybialeschki]

I like the way your doing it now.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thank you

[@papatomsthoughts]

I like the color contrast. Not too excited about bathroom layout, almost like they realized they forgot the toilet and just popped it in. As per recording, I like the way you did here.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Awesome Ty

[@fireplugrm]

She’s a beaut, Clark! Too long for my needs but I think RockStaff is the nicest quality build out there. Love your video format. Love the humor or lack thereof. Jes’ kiddin’

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It’s a great model, good to know you like the format!

[@joncrisp7365]

Keep showin road mode

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Will do!!

[@hermanmunster8655]

❤😊 She's beautiful 😍 Now that's camping 😅 I really like the living room dinette arrangement with the Big camp side windows. Bath and a half is nice 🙂❤ and I do appreciate the ability to up the solar package. And definitely love the shower miser.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thank you for watching!

[@snake_king]

For me, I like the live view format. Especially when we were in the market to buy. Every little detail is a difference maker. Either way, you do great at both. Thank you

[@patricialstamp3774]

Josh, I like the way you always do your videos! And I don't think the kitchen has enough room especially the little space for the stove.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ty Patricia

[@chriscalvin5083]

12:24 whatever easier for you Josh both way work for me I can always pause or playback a section if i need to just my opinion

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ty

[@felishagathright4013]

Very interesting family camper. Love the kitchen & storage & counter space behind booth. I prefer this way of showing camper & storage. Your worth the extra few minutes.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Aww thank you 😊

[@Brigand231]

This one's kinda different and fun. We're not fans of two stage travel access, but it is what it is. We definitely prefer you live talking while demonstrating features, but if that takes too long we understand and would be ok with you bringing these units for us to tour in person if that works out easier. We'll even take care of lunch. Thanks for the tour, Uncle Josh!

[@jamessuderman3033]

I like the longer more feedback

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Good to know. Ty

[@Swahnod]

Time is precious, but you have a good format and I would leave it alone.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Roger

[@FredBiesinger]

I like the way you do your videos the way you do them now Especially like road mode But that's just my opinion Keep doing them the Nerd way lol

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Cool, thank you it’s good to know

[@terrylovell1319]

Keep doing your thing 😊

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thank you, I will

[@terrybialeschki]

I would like to see the best. Ig sized bedrooms and bathrooms with the large cook stove ovens. In less than 30 ft 4 seasonal campers with heated tanks, insulated windows all winter prepped units.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

“All winter prepped” is a statement that needs clarity. No rv is made for any/all weather Most aren’t even tested below freezing

[@tammythompson4509]

Pleas keep doing the videos the way you always have.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I appreciate the feedback!

[@AnneRice-m3b]

Keep doing what you have been doing. Love Rockwood/ Flagstaff I have a 2022 2608sb like the extra outlets/usb.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Will do

[@Patricksmancave]

Like it. Thank you !

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You’re welcome!

[@maxhicksarmor21]

Hey Josh, hope your Christmas went well and Santa brought you everything you wanted. Already so I like this camper with some minor details. I do not like the bunkbeds lol but of course I’ve never have liked the bunkbeds. To me if you don’t have small kids or Somebody physically able to get into the box they’re pretty much useless. Again I probably would’ve made that a office space or extended the back half of the trailer to make more room. Even if it would’ve been a mini hauler that would’ve been cool. The vent is ok in the living area but would rather have a vent fan!! In the kitchen the oven suck as it’s waaaaay to tight to actually cook on the stovetop. The rest of the kitchen is OK. A bit small of course but doable. Back to the bunks, I do think they could maybe keep the top bunk, but make the bottom bunk a couch area that folds out. Since they have a TV hook up in the room, it just makes more sense. Pretty much other than that this is a beautiful camper. Has pretty much everything that you would want in it. And of course, I really enjoy the separation of the guest area from the main owners bedroom and bathroom. Keep Rockin it Josh.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Christmas was great. Awesome family time Ty for visiting!

[@ispyred100]

I like it the 1/2 bath is good, we have adult children and occasionally have adult guests and having that 1/2 extra bath would nice. You can use the bunk room for an office and guests can put their bags in the desk area. Good flex space.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It really does make a huge difference!

[@robineasley491]

I am liking the television…better than craning to watch…always enjoy the rockwood models…

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah I like how they’re trying this

[@JandAReview1]

This is really good! Thank you Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You’re welcome!

[@JulieLynn1997]

Nice camper! Thanks, Josh for another great video.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@muzikteachermom]

Lots of great features!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It really does have a lot of great stuff in it!

[@betterwithrum]

I love the number of windows in this and that dinette with the large picture window is perfect. While I can appreciate the second backroom... my kids... it would be WW3. I'd appreciate a version of this with a third bunk instead. Keep the desk, that's awesome.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Good insights. Ty

[@mikemasters2882]

I like the live videos a little better, but it's usually hard to tell the difference, so I vote that you continue to do whichever is easier for you. Very nice trailer, but I would really be nervous to pull anything this long.

[@Elnu01]

slow but longer is good for me. For a few bucks tire balancing may help stuff not bouncing around and some extended tire wear.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Good to know. Ty

[@TanyaRando]

I'd really prefer to have the tv flip down from the ceiling, at least you could use the shelf next to the dinette, and not have to worry about spillages. I love the cooker but hate the placement. The kitchen doesn't make sense. The cooker or sink could be next to the entrance, so it could be storage or a coffee/tea/appliance space. I'm very torn between loving and hating the 2nd door. I flip-flop between counting it's blessings and it's drawbacks. The shower needs one of those flexible doors that pulls across, or even a curtain. I'm happy whichever presentation style you choose. They should split the door under the sink so it folds, so you could have full access to the room under the half-bath sink. #nerdherd #rvnerdherd This is ok but wouldn't have it as a first choice, it seems a bit clunky in design.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It’s uncommon for sure

[@tazman2714]

Keep on chatting, you mention alot of content that people will miss when videos are shorter. I prefer the talks about where all the vents are like the heater and water heater vents, also where the dumps are located. So keep doing what your doing, because other videos seem way too rushed from others.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks! I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

[@slocavky]

I like the live talking. cant edit out the bloopers easily LOL...

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You’ll notice I don’t tend to do that anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@chriscalvin5083]

good video Josh

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Appreciate it!

[@Coolguyjason]

Thanks nerd! Take my time! Just kidding but I do other things while watching and like the “live bill oreilly” style you do

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I’m glad you’re enjoying the style lol

[@texillini1]

Those are CPAP compliant enough to work 👍

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Good to know

[@pennylynch4471]

I like to see the item as you talk. So many times when the narration is not with whatever we are viewing always leaves me wanting another look at it. I feel like I've missed something. I'm not concerned about how long your videos are, but the longer ones give time for more detail, or more uncaffinated Uncle Josh! I really like the layout with this one. A couple of questions aout that bunk area. Can the bunks be removed all together, or even better removed and replaced as needed? I'd have more need for the floor space for the most part, but may want to bring a friend. Maybe just taking out the lower bunk... One thing I really like about the bunk room is it has it's own 1/2 bath. If I do travel with a friend they could have their own space. On that note, does the toilet area have it's own door, or just the room itself? I'll have to look up the lighter color pallette. The dark looks nice, but with small spaces I tend to prefer light decor.

[@stevez340]

I’ve never heard of balancing beads, but since 99% of RV tires aren’t balanced, I would be more than happy to have anything that might help👍

[@MinniKev]

I mean, you say it has two stage travel access but there’s the 1/2 bath in the back if you need it. The kitchen does need a little more countertop space but the little area near the door works and the spot behind the stove is good for a coffee and ice maker.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Was referring more to the front bed for stage 2

[@betterwithrum]

loaded hitch weight is pushing up against what my older 2500 can handle. It will be close.

[@myrandabrown]

Josh it’s whatever is easier for you. Narrating while you record means you can hand over editing to a helper. On the other hand you could cover more RV’s in a day if you just do a fly by and then do the voiceover when you have more time.

[@GaryBrownrigg]

#Nerdherd! 🇨🇦

[@robinwillson7838]

I like the way style like you used in this video. Perfect Josh. This model is well laid out for the length. The only thing I see missing is a place to hang clothes. Doesn't look like this is 4-season? For full timers?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I am not trying to be difficult but comments like four seasons and full timing need clarity and reference A lot of people think four seasons means any and all weather. Literally no RV is made for any and all weather. RV’s also do not have warranty for full-time living. Full-time RVing and full-time living are two different things. But the industry has done a good job of confusing everybody when it comes to all of that

[@robinwillson7838]

@@JoshtheRVNerd If you're going to live in it full time, you need a place to hang clothes. The bunk area could be used for a lot - like to make up for the small pantry area, but I didn't see a place to hang clothes. Full time rated usually has heated underbelly and/or extra insulation. We used to have a fifth wheel that was rated for full time living - a Heartland Big Country. You're right - none are ideal for extremes of hot or cold. But some are better equipped than others.

[@Erin-Thor]

Cool! I’m curious if that comes in a non-bunk or flip up bunk version? I like the desk, good thought, just not sure about the small work area and being right next to the commode. 🤣 I’m guessing their intent was a kids work area and not necessarily meant for adults. 👍🏽😎

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Kinda sorta.. their 2619fk might work

[@jermsman18]

If they flip the chairs and fridge with the dinette and counter that might fix the kitchen woes.

[@bjwieland-doucet5917]

Nice unit. Could use a bit more counter space for prep, but the "buffet" by the door could work. I'd love a fireplace for cozy ambiance buuut... The bunk room is great. It'd be my REAL clothes closet. Guests get the DR table. 😂 The outside & inside regular storage is good. Road mode is nice as well. Being on the thinner side, I have no issue with the space. Bummed it isn't an on-demand water heater. 😢 They're so much better, even with the possibility of having to refill the propane more often.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

The counter space is a little tight, I agree.

[@benkmarchant]

What kind of vehicle to tow this in your opinion

[@Erin-Thor]

With a 10k weight, long length, and a 900 pound hitch weight I’d suggest at least a 3/4 ton long bed (longer wheelbase). There are a few newer half tons that could tow this, but with a 10k GVWR… I’d be very careful. 🤓 (If Josh answers any differently, listen to him not me. 😂)

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Is really recommend a 3/4 ton or better generally speaking - especially once you load the whole family into the vehicle and eat up a bunch of payload

[@Cowboy47]

#RVNerdHerd 😊 🎉 😊

[@rvhorizons2528]

Josh, does Forest River / Rockwood still make A-frame campers?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think so? But man it’s been a spell since I saw them

[@stevez340]

I love RockStaff, but sleeping for 6, and comfortable seating for 2 is mind boggling😢so many people would prefer a sofa “option” for that outdated Denny’s diner booth dinette to allow for a comfortable residential seating area for 4-5 people on a cold rainy day💥💥💥

[@betterwithrum]

20:31 Wait... that's a K???!!!! I've always thought RW for Rockwood. Or were you referring to the KW lettering above? You know what, it's 1:30AM it doesn't matter. I'm going to bed.

[@georgenelson1530]

I prefer when you talk while filming. A little longer but better information

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thank you. Helpful

[@MarcBourcier]

Personally I would do away with the window at the dinette and go for a larger TV like 55"

[@alisseenstitching]

For me, I'd rather have the fridge by the exit door, instead of next to the recliner chair, where the cabinet should be built in.

[@tomrichard8020]

Thanks nerd 🍺 🤓

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You got it!

[@deborahdaniel7416]

Like voice over

[@charlesc5983]

Give me a piece of paper to design an obstacle course . And this is what I came up with.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Hahaha

[@Chris714-o6]

👍👍👍

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

😊

[@terrybialeschki]

That's, a greT camper.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Agreed Ty

[@WeekendNonwarriors]

One question that I've never heard explained - This model has a lot of tank capacity, due to 2 black and grey tanks. Liquids are heavy. How does the weight of contents of tanks impact cargo carrying capacity, or the way that it's calculated? It would seem that if the tanks were full in this one, the cargo weight may be pushing the 2,000+ lb limit, before figuring the other stuff you load into the camper (not that anyone wants to ride around with nearly full black tanks - yuck).

[@mattblackburn7030]

Keep the narrative while you go over the features.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

that seems to be the resounding sentiment which makes the decision much much easier :)

[@laura7053]

🎉#NerdHerd

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

😊

[@LuckyDr.SmogShop]

90 gal grey, and 90 gal black, and only 54 gal fresh?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

The blacks and greys are 45 gal tanks It has two of each because of the multi bath and kitchen between Normally has a 54gal fresh So the tanks seem weird on this one

[@ShanaHeart33]

Do it live uncle Josh matches what we see better

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Roger that!

[@SunnyD1213]

Keep talking.... Makes it more entertaining,

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

👍🏻

[@1119jblack]

I don't like the kitchen. I don't like the cubby hole the stove is in. I want space on either side for prep space. Also the sink area has no space for dirty dishes on one side and a drying rack on the other. This is a very large trailer. The kitchen should also be bigger.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah kitchen really is a pinch point

[@hildeschmid8400]

Only two seats for watching TV comfortably when you have room for about 4-5 people, just isn't enough. Also, the kitchen is way too small

[@Railfan62]

Very nice camper, but I don't like travel trailers that long.

[@carmencrick5721]

this brand is a no due to pass-through bathroom

[@anniemarie4864]

This one is just weird. It seems like trying to cover everything, short changed some of the essentials.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It’s goofy for sure

[@leanngoodall7602]

I love the live description videos. We get the information and your honest, off the cuff reactions.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Alright good to know!
