Dining OR a Desk ➕ Major Windows! 2024 Vibe 26RK Travel Trailer

[@JamieRabago-x3k]

i have a 2022 26RK and i absolutely love it.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

😊 enjoy!!

[@billmunn234]

A great, and good looking, floorplan. And it's in the Goldilocks Length Zone for folks who want a big camper but don't want a HUGEMUNGUS camper.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah I really find myself focusing in on those 28-30ft models

[@kimmyyoung17]

I think they should put a pull out spice rack in that space next to the microwave.

[@dianedenham5259]

Nice. I'd be okay with a couple slots for cookie sheets or a lasagna pan.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Hmm.. cool idea

[@quicksilver1016]

I personally love and prefer the pivot doors to the bedroom. I’ve always had issues with sliding doors. Also it gives you the bonus of the TV mount directly across the bed.

[@dianedenham5259]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of sliding doors either they eat up a lot of wall space, I prefer old fashioned hinged doors.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That is a good point about the tv mount

[@spiderthenimble]

Yes, another one without plaid! I like this one a lot, I mean a lot. The shower is the only downer on this floor plan for me.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

How would you like to see it improved?

[@tiffanystokes5509]

I like it, it’s pretty nice but I would have liked to have a booth dinette though.

[@MultiEricr]

I like it better with the dinette. Ialso prefer the black out shades , but this is a nice floor plan. I do like the free floting recliners. Good tip on the tv

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ty!!

[@DerekFrampton]

I like this trailer's vibe.

[@DerekFrampton]

THe included TV, 12V fridge, and induction surface in the camp-kitchen are very cool.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

😉

[@MikeStJohn-du5ue]

I like this unit, love the table. Great mounting with no legs. Not a fan of the pivot door due to loss of pass through space. Overall very nice.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY Mike

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I feel the same on that door but someone made an interesting point - creates more space for TV hookups across from the bed While that does make sense I don't think i care as much about bedroom tv

[@dero9711]

HOLD EVERYTHING!!!! Uncle Josh, what are they using to pivot the dinette table?? Is that a Lagune type thingny? That caught my eyes... Thanks for EVERYTHING you do for the RV community, you are a ROCKSTAR, deer...

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I don't know a specific name for the table-thing

[@BrittMFH]

Oh, I LOVE this one! Looking for destination trailer and the short queen is perfect! ♥️😻

[@TanyaRando]

I really like seeing it in road mode too, mainly because of you wanted to add a footstool or an ottoman etc, you can plan where you'd put it for travel mode.

[@TEN-ve8mp]

Washer/Dryer prep in the bedroom closet would make this perfect.

[@GrillMarksBud-S-n-P]

Super close to perfection. Washer/dryer prep and direct TV viewing, maybe move the plug to pop up on counter top not a huge fan of seeing cords hanging down, but that's being picky, but not a deal breaker

[@matthewbegin3462]

Have this camper, that closet in the bedroom is tight,as well as the bedroom itself. Love the camper overall

[@jackfrost5657]

Really like the floor plan, just the CCC is just awful. Couch is great with the recliners. Microwave convection is a big finally. I would love if the bed was on a slide. Thanks as always Josh.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It is a concern for sure

[@SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

I really like this. Simple. Livable. Awesome, Josh.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Glad you like it!

[@SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

@@JoshtheRVNerd I really did. I watch most of your videos, as much because of you as the RV's themselves. You make them interesting. Happy St. Patty's Day. Have a great Easter Week.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@SarahsAtticOfTreasures you too! Ty so much

[@kevincassidy8131]

Nice floor plan, looks more like a studio apartment than an RV !!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah kinda

[@briankrone2631]

Really nice floor plan and would definitely use the table in desk mode unless we had guests. Keep up the great content Uncle Josh

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That's probably about what we'd do too

[@andrewgaylord2806]

I agree with that pivot door. Get rid of it.

[@MrNickb-s500]

On the + side mini camp kitchen, bathroom space around the toilet on the - side no floor heating vents and that important box(I forgot what's its called) covered in road mode😊😊

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ty again Mr Nick

[@MrNickb-s500]

@JoshtheRVNerd ur welcome Josh 👍🏻😊 lol I meant to type LTE is still a pretty strong cellular signal, Perhaps my on screen keyboard needs an update 😊

[@MrNickb-s500]

@JoshtheRVNerd opps! Sorry wrong reply from me. You're welcome Josh

[@lew3057]

So, my personal preference would be for a gas griddle on the outside kitchen. Slightly bigger water tank and another solar panel along wth Lithium batteries - just me.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY for sharing!

[@Infernotaco15]

Is there a reason that manufacturers can't put 100 gallon tanks in these if there is room, or is it just a structural strength issue? Some are doing it, so I know it's possible.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@Infernotaco15 if there is room it’s definitely possible but not something they can do by request If they wanted to include big tanks like that and add the structure to support them, then it would totally work

[@jennyecox390]

I love this floor plan. I could live in it all the time. Appreciate your input and again, you crack me up.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thx :)

[@jkyle01]

"They practically put the speakers on the roof...." 😂 Josh, it's not the words, it's that you have great delivery. I appreciate your humor. It's my kind of humor, and what I do at work...-try to find humor in most everything. It's the best kind to help one endure an endless hours workday as a nurse. Being too serious all the time can and will wear you down. Never change! 😃

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY so much :)

[@bobhill6137]

Purchased this model last year, enjoy the the floor plan with great food prep space and loads of light from the massive windows. The only down side is/ was quality control it sucks, so many small things that were obviously ignored or missed at final inspection. Door hinges falling off, large gaps in joints. Such a shame as the trailer is an awesome design.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Wait until you see the new 2025 vibe updates. They’re night and day improved

[@texillini1]

I’m liking the Vibe’s. I agree on the kitchen corner, they could’ve either left it open storage or perhaps even some sorta lazy Susa thing. Can you tell the class again about the cable driven slide, can you crack it open for the pull over on the side of the road, or Cracker Barrel refrigerator access, or must you fully open the slide to access the fridge? Thank you. I should just buy a 3/4 HD and be done with it. You’re killing me with all these nice units. 😂

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah I think this system is ok being cracked a bit as needed

[@jkyle01]

I literally just walked through this model at the local RV show, not 1/2 hour ago. I was glad to be able to see a Vibe model in person. I LOVE their cabinetry and the color. Their bedroom/bed headboard/foot look sharp. The bathroom was decent but that bedroom door...yes, it opens weird and when you're not expecting it, you have to backtrack to open it and at the show, there's alway someone behind you. Love the kitchen and honestly, the TWO recliners felt crowded. IF I had this model, I'd remove one of them then, then face MY recliner 😉 straight at the TV. I was not a fan of the table and chairs. Maybe, again if I owned it, move THEM out of the way and put the other recliner there. 🤔 Overall, I like the Vibe's color palette/design 'vibe.'

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Someone made a good point about the pivot door offering a better tv hookup spot across from the bed Everything has those little quirks I suppose

[@jkyle01]

Honestly, if it made way for a TV, then that's a good swap. The door is no big deal breaker and I'm sure you just get used to it. 🤗@@JoshtheRVNerd

[@markschumacher2788]

I like the layout but still dont love a rear kitchen. I can only imagine what your refer would look like when you get to your destination. I will admit, I have a white hawk with a table and chairs and I wish my table did what that one does.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I like that twisty table system though it'd be nice if it were a bit more sturdy-feeling in desk-mode

[@Damethefirst]

Love the kitchen, but the short queen would have to go. Also the padded headrest. Would have to be VERY careful with sink spray attachment

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

longer bed would be my preference as well

[@Patricksmancave]

Love this still of floor plan. That big kitchen all that storage. Nice bedroom. Nice camper thx josh!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

my pleasure! These vibes have been fun to go thru

[@RothePhoenix]

I'm sure there is a floorplan that puts the fridge in the slide for road mode access and makes the dining room a bar that looks over the campsite. That'd reduce the length to a 30ft for all parks. Maybe the TV could go over that dining bar for optimal viewing. That's my take just in the first minute of watching the video. These Vibes are giving me good vibes the more I see them. That pivot door isn't my favorite either Josh.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKPMhJ6Vq8iAZ6s

[@RothePhoenix]

@JoshtheRVNerd Thank you! I remember that one and liked it a lot.

[@lewbrown3147]

Nice I would like a dinette. Other than that. I can vibe with it.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Awesome Ty

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Wow didn’t realize I didn’t have that in my library.. will have to see what I can do

[@didibolter9362]

I agree with you Uncle Josh! Also, I don't like the color of the furniture and the headboard! 😣

[@TanyaRando]

I love the RV to be fair, lovely kitchen and living areas plenty of storage and I do like the separate recliners. Something little - next to the recliner, at the back of the sink - maybe some bungee type netting or even something more formal, maybe there could be something to hold magazines, or more likely, guide books to the area you're camping in. Those blinds wouldn't be my first choice as I've wrecked too many Roman blinds over the years, but as you say, blankets and pillows etc will completely customise it to the owner

[@dianedenham5259]

I've sewn Roman blinds for my home (in my youth, in years gone by). What I discovered was that the small plastic O-rings (sold at fabric stores) can become brittle, and break, over the years. Metal might oxidize (stain) with humidity (over years). Something to consider.

[@NickCharles]

I know it's fallen out of favor recently, but I wish we had a few more floorplans with the freestanding recliners these days. Makes for some nice rainy day seating, and it gives you a little more flexibility in the space itself.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I was always surprirsed the euro-style recliners still found in some toy haulers never proved more popular

[@wnews7304]

How much would it add to the cost, if they just put nets over the open storage?????

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Very little

[@stevez340]

Beautiful residential floorplan with a sofa, recliners, table and chairs, TV and fireplace, 3 burner cooktop with oven, matching slide out flooring, a porcelain toilet, shower door and solar👍The only big misses are no ladder, a Dollar Store 4” fart fan, a tiny camp queen bed, a 2 headed sewer monster and cheap import tires☹️

[@sharonadkison5869]

We were at an rv show and there was a couple complaining that a particular rv had too much counterspace!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I don’t usually say this But They were wrong 😆

[@lisaturner4741]

Love this one but would Not buy because I Hate the shades...blackout shades are needed. And Hate the bedroom door...just a regular inward swinging door would be Great! Would Love hanging wardrobe on both sides...lots of hanging space for me.. Almost got it. 😊

[@pennylynch4471]

With the facing easy chairs it makes it like a real home. Nice space in the kitchen, great counter space. I don't like the under the cabinet plugs, the thought of dangling cords seems like an accident waiting to happen. About that table. I don't see the need for it to move into a horizontal position to be a desk. It seems like a gimmick to help sell it. I wouldn't bother with it. It's not a selling point for me. That is quite the TV! I think I'd switch that one out with my 40" at home 🙂 Question about the bed. If you change it out for a regular queen, would it interfere with the closet door? It's hard to tell if it would be harder to work around.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Hmm.. longer bed could make the closet door tricky. Good point t

[@sandracummings9517]

That spot by the microwave could hold the paper towels

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

good idea! TY

[@drewmclillie2159]

Can you please do one on the 26RB? We may be buying one this week and would love to hear your review! Huge fans!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Several people have asked. Didnt realize I didn’t have it on file yet. Will hunt for one

I love watching but I have never camped. So ❤ all the windows but 2 sewer outlets? How does that work?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Separate tanks for the kitchen and bathroom Too far apart to hook together

[@betterwithrum]

TIL that Pivot doors are a thing

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

They’re not super common

[@popeyeandy959]

How often do the fuses blow on the cable slides? So is the table wiggly when set up as a table or just as a desk? I can see us never swapping it desk mode anyhow. I wonder how hard it would be to swap the bedroom door hinges? Would the bedroom door open as far as the camper entry door if the hinges were swapped.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I operate a ton of them doing what I do. Offhand I can’t think of a time I’ve had it happen but I’m sure it’s happened at least once. Probably more likely when it’s cost. Fuses seem to pop easier then

[@timethious54]

I don't like the dining arrangement. Give me a booth, every time. 👍
