CRAZY TINY Popup Travel Trailer RV! Gotta see to believe! Flagstaff MAC 176LTD

[@darrelllee2107]

I discovered something with pop-ups. It doesn't matter how small or large it is. They can all pretty much fit 4 adults very comfortably. I have an older one and the water doesn't work in it which I thought would be a big deal but it isn't. Having an awning allows us to cover our outdoor setup which has a prep table (I ordered a fish cutting table that has a sink!).

[@Treeplanter73]

Jayco used to produce the 806, I owned one for 3 years. My 3 toddler boys boys and I went on many camping adventures. It was all I could afford after divorce. Great memories.

[@jamesdemarco5671]

Shawn, I have an 1986 Jayco J 806 Deluxe it's still hanging in there, keeping an eye on the wood for dry rot, not bad for a 34 year old pop-up.

[@zedmak]

They will remember all of those trips.

[@scottb4494]

Those are the trips that you’re never going to forget 👍

[@johnnydoe66]

My wife and I use to own a 8' Palomino pop-up back in the late 90's. It had a dry weight of 900 lbs, had a built in ice chest, 2 burner stove top, awning, and factory tinted windows. I pulled it with a Ford Splash, single cab, 4 cylinder, 5 speed with no issues.

[@JEG6919]

finally, a trailer you don't need a super duty for. ;)

[@ironrose3433]

Please give the prices, thanks.

[@yeyis05]

I had one I loved in for a summer Construction Job. Once I was done using it I sold it. Great little camper. There were on site showers and restrooms so it worked out pretty well.

[@MrDannyVeal]

I had one this size for 8 years. I loved it and so easy to own.

[@upshifter5316]

I have the 92 version of this. Looks like they updated colors and switched to LEDs. Otherwise it’s exactly the same!!! And it’s the perfect size for us with 2 kids. Don’t want anyone to forget they are camping!

[@professorr.5427]

The 176 is perfect. 🤩

[@deancollins6406]

We have a 2007 Fleetwwod Bayside that has a dinette slide out and a kitchen work space/storage on the opposite side. Slide outs are not a new thing. We love the floor space, all the storage and 2 king size beds. Easy to pull with our 2003 Explorer Sport Trac.

[@CroakerOutdoors]

Coming from years of tent camping, I would love a popup with out a sink, stove, and "fridge". I just want a small cabin, two beds, and a heater. Maybe a residential AC on the side.

[@jamesmathias6973]

I want the same thing! I actually took the sink, stove, and icebox out of my current popup and put another bed in it instead. There is an outside connection for the stove (if not you can buy a portable stove, we use coolers to keep things cold, and just use water from the campground. If they just moved the door over and could make a larger bed at the bottom you could sleep 6 with some storage (that is all you need). You could buy a portable AC unit or heater if you wanted it.

[@HerrP58]

Look to an a-frame. Rockwood and Aliner and others produce cabins on wheels. With heat, a/c, the works, in a tiny instant-up package.

[@CroakerOutdoors]

​@@HerrP58 Thanks for the reminder. Been in a bunch of A-frames but, back then, I wasn't impressed with the space compared to the price per square foot of living space of a pop-up. Although, now after some more research I've dropped the idea of a pop-up due to the time requirement to deploy and break down along with a few other reasons. Will have check out a-frames again. Would love to camp more during the summer and this past one with the heat, humidity, and bad weather was tough.

[@dumbcough]

I agree,you can keep all of the extras,less of course the heater.I've been looking at tear drops,way to expensive nice and all that,but I just want to be off of the ground for a bargain price.

[@FredBiesinger]

Check out the new OTG pop ups OTG stands for off the ground I've been looking at them The smallest is around 8k

[@plutoplatters]

One of the MOST important points ( not everyone's 5 foot 6)

[@kittydavies7448]

the a-frame trailers looked really cool

[@oldmillrd1506]

A-frames are much better for all kinds of reasons. I've had both and what you lose in total space you get back in a much better camper.

[@doogals]

A grandfather had one similar in the early '80s. Except his did not have a back bed, just a flat wall.

[@brentvance3958]

Our first pop up was like the second one a Starcraft 3316. It was 16 ft closed and about 25 ft opened. Everywhere we went people loved it.

[@seaw5594]

Had a 1983 Coleman colonial xl. Slept 6 and was under 8 feet compacted down. 17 ft expanded. Under 1000lbs

[@bazh6041]

LOL American concepts of 'small' are hillarious.... we have a Pennine Pathfinder in the UK which is the same weight as the unit shown and similar dimensions... that has a separate toilet compartment with washbasin, 3 burner hob, full oven and separate grill, more storage, and considerably more refined design. Also a huge custom awning which can be extended with extra 'bedrooms'. The Pennine Fiesta offers most the same facilities, including the bathroom, in an even smaller package.

[@drock5172]

As a pop up owner, they are great beginner of towing, next is a t.t. They make bigger pop ups than the last unit you looked at, they make high wall models with tandem axels, stove with oven, microwave l, bigger fridge.. side slide out, larger couch

[@evegem8978]

What does t.t. Stand for ?

[@EdgarRodriguez-ms7yk]

[@herb7877]

We had 2 tent trailers as our family grew. First one was medium sized & 2nd one was a large one (no deck) . Worked very well for 3 kids & 2 adults and using mom's station wagon . Only down side; taking them down in the rain.

[@thelonestarguy6973]

I have that Flagstaff MAC 176 LTD and love it. Great for weekend getaways and hunting trips.

[@nathankoroush7918]

Snow is even worse.

[@tinaaurand7204]

We had the smallest Jayco popup they made. One end was a full and the other was around a twin. It was quite comical from the outside.

[@wendywilson1736]

Sounds cute 💁‍♀️

[@Taconephotography]

Does my mountain bike have the towing capacity for this?

[@diananeal9645]

You'll need a dually to pull that one

[@Sebastian_Dinwiddie]

Diana Neal I’m thinking a 450.

[@Everetttango1]

A dually with 22 inch rims, and those little bitty tires-

[@bensonsspeedshop1191]

Awesome Popups, Sir! Thanks for reviewing and posting these! Put the large one behind my Class C for all of our Grandkids!

[@ianfurqueron5850]

I'd love to see the smallest pop-up with that bathroom set-up of the larger trailer.

[@jenniferp1917]

That would be perfect. Just a bed and a bath. I don't want to buy and tow a trailer and still have to use the campground bathroom!! But I don't want all the other bells and whistles inside taking up space.

[@jefffroman7044]

Thanks for showing a more modest RV. What were the cool-looking A-frame RVs across the way?

[@mgkleym]

Rockwood/flagstaff a frames probably. They are a really nice folding option if you only need one perminate bed.

[@mannydavidson9628]

The Jayco 8sd is also a small pop up camper. Has fridge, furnace and sink

[@HerrP58]

That and the basic 10sd are fine models, until they quit makin' 'em.

[@brianhanlon9602]

The wife and I started out looking at the 175 but we ended up with the MAC 206LTD

[@GirlArmy21]

I have a bare bones tent trailer and it weighs in at 225-250 lbs. your smallest trailer is huge!! Lol all really nice

[@chriscioccio4826]

We have a 176, super easy to tow. We have spent over 2 weeks in it Florida. It is the type of camper that you sleep in and not much else but we were never looking for a place hang out in, really just sleep.

[@kenworthNH]

That's the beauty of the pop-up. Gets you off the ground at least. It's cool to have options but we just wanted to move past tent camping. But our pop-up still only required a tent site rental

[@roydavis2242]

The smallest pop-up I ever saw was a one that was pulled behind a Harley Davison. I'm not sure if it was a homemade one or not. The second one reminded me of the 95 Jayco Cardinal designer series we had. It had the wet bath like that and a California King in the back. The bed held the wife and me plus her cocker spaniel and my 85lb Siberian Husky with room to spare.

[@The_JEB]

That larger pop up camper would be good for hunting if you and a friend go out for a weekend, throw a quad on the front and perhaps one in the back of your half ton.

[@marthamaggard819]

Are there any pop ups with just beds, a/c, electricity connections.

[@Unboxx_It]

Long time fan here. I have learned a lot from you and your content. Thanks again for all of your contributions to the RV community. Currently, I have a 2018 Avenger 29RBS. I’m looking for something extra small that can simply accommodate me and my two kids 2yr & 3yr old when I the wife doesn’t want to go. I have been searching for a bit with no luck. Must have are toilet and Shower. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 2013 F250 6.2L . Thank again.

[@smoguli]

Older ones where lighter, my '96 Rockwood LTD weight about 1,000 lbs and can sleep 6. The slide out beds are only 48" wide and we have no fridge, maybe that's why it's lighter. And judging by the finish, look of the frame and general construction of the first model you showed us, not a lot has changed on how these popups are built. I tow mine with a 4 cyl Dodge Journey and it's maxed out (according to the owner's manual I can tow a max of 1,000 lbs with 5 passengers and luggage). So far after 3 years I haven't encountered a hill that it cannot climb (sometime slower in a lower gear but it still makes it to the top). I thought about buying the V6 but it's towing capacity is not much higher, 2,500 lbs with 1 to 2 passengers, 2,000 lbs with 3 to 4 passengers and only 1,500 lbs with 5 to 6 passengers. 30 years ago my father in law used to tow a popup camper with his '86 Nissan Micra, with a 4 speed manual transmission... somehow it survived the ordeal. In Europe they tow 2,000 and 3,000 lbs trailers with small cars, It's a shame we have to buy humongous pickup trucks and SUV to do the same in North America.

[@campbellvonjordan68]

Man a wet bath situation like that... you'd have to be very comfortable with the people you're travelling with. Someone with an upset stomach with be sharing that story with everyone on board.

[@nadinecanabou2069]

can thos tires go off road at all or can better tires go on it???

[@chrismansbarger4324]

A friend of mine has the 2nd one. He put his 4 wheelers and a side by side on the cargo deck. He pulls it with a Colorado ZR2 diesel.

[@Taconephotography]

Awsome!!

[@nms1508]

I’m confused on the origa 2k pounds you mentioned then the dry weight??

[@baconbap]

Honey I used to have a 13 foot Scamp. This trailer looks like a palace compared.😊

[@TonyTruth-s9z]

I have a 2004 model of this camper. I bought it used for when we take a long roadie or a couple-nighter. Good enough for sleeping. Hard to be comfortable sitting inside. Not much storage. Previous owner added front jacks and a receiver to hold a bike rack of shelf rack. The middle bench is useless for storage as it holds the water tank and power converter. When you flip the sink for travel, you lose a lot of floor space.

[@djkenny1202]

Outdoor showeron smaller one?

[@gregc8861]

Got an 12' '05 Bonair TT with a slide out, it makes a big difference in space and comfort for sure. Tow that with the Sienna, no trouble.

[@andyr5389]

Screw pulling it. Buy a truck, even a half ton at 1300#, and put it on the bed of the truck. Cheaper then a truck camper. Haha.

[@dedalliance1]

I've always wondered with those open front toy haulers is it safe to pull without anything up there? I feel like the back end would be too heavy and want to lift the back of the truck up. Also, it would be hard to judge your tongue weight and what truck you might need to pull it, just some thoughts.

[@nathandoro2329]

I live the bigger one. I wonder if you can get it with an ac?

[@ianfurqueron5850]

I've seen a number of pop-up campers with AC units on the roof.

[@Ecozzy0123]

You can pull that behind my wife’s Camry!

[@chrisrichtermindset]

[@paulherring8208]

[@fattie2550]

I bought a brand new 2018 176SE Off road package, that thing was a piece of crap and sold it 5 months later. The roof was defective and needed to be replaced as soon as i took delivery.

[@tomhawkins8855]

Had a Jayco Eagle 8. Plenty of room no heater or ac but an ice box, stove and sink. Portable chem toilet, lifted with 13 inch wheels and generator mount. Pulled easy and straight. Some rat stole it from behind my house.

[@Crashphoenix666]

Evidently you've never seen a Mini Mate camper, or a Time out... You want small and compact and can be pulled by literally anything, check those out

[@MsDavis-xl6re]

Does the small one have an outside shower?

[@davidklimek7999]

Why isn't the slide outs plywood bottoms nor painted?

[@eolson1964]

why was the mattress dirty in larger pop-up?

[@iqbalesmail9827]

Would be nice how much does flagstaff 176 mini one costs on the road.

[@pambluetoenails7223]

Where is this lot that has all these pop-ups?

[@stevenstrawn5009]

As far as a pop up those are around 8k new then they want to charge you another 1k for AC after tax spending over 10k for something that is like a big tent with AC. Better getting a actual small trailer and have to worry canvas and can piss and crap if you have to in private.

[@lanceg911]

Does this have an air conditioner?

[@shadythereok]

Why would you want to heat hot water?

[@lindaterrell6104]

It looks quite a bit like the one we toured the USA with back in 1978.

[@brendenellasfunadventures4186]

What the price of the 176

[@RC-nq7mg]

How the hell does that tiny thing weigh that much!? my 92 jayco deluxe is 21.5ft long when set up, and its dry weight is only around 1375lbs!

[@SOU6900]

A 1/2 ton square body with 3 on the tree could more than likely even handle this runt of a camper 😆

[@oldmillrd1506]

Problem with both of these is counter heights are way below standard. You have to bend over to use them. I have a pop-up with a high wall option that gives you normal counter heights and allows for a taller refrigerator with a freezer. Something to think about when looking at any pop-up camper.

[@the_charter5134]

Is it 30amp?

[@BikinCO]

The second pop up is similar to our Somerset E3 Deck. We love ours and have pulled it from our home in GA to Key West, Acadia NP, Santa Fe and Summit County Colorado. No structural wood makes it pretty bullet proof. I'd love to see you review one for your subscribers as I know they'd love it too.

[@charlesdu9941]

Pop ups look awesome, I'd love to have one for a motorcycle track day. But since I'm a RV noob I have some questions. How safe are these in a lightning storm? Is it even possible to get ac inside one of these? Or will I just have to get a big fan to sit in front of?

[@Everetttango1]

Most people never get struck by lightning -

[@kenworthNH]

You can certainly get one with an ac unit installed. Even the smallest campers have that as an option. Just need to find one

Great video ... that second unit is interesting but ...... it’s just so much work to set that up and then the fridge is just too small so you still need to pack a cooler and you can’t use the front desk once at camp because the bed opens up to it :/. Not great for use imo

[@kevinjasper6620]

Not to pop your balloon but several years ago I saw on the internet a pop-up that was smaller. It had one fold out twin size bed. They may not even make it now

[@HerrP58]

My instant-up Coleman 6 person tent with rainfly is all staked down and has furniture in it within minutes. It would take me longer to level a trailer before even beginning all the other steps to set up a popup. So yeah, there are definitely time issues and labor to consider. Specially for us over-60 folk.
