GORGEOUS New Look & ½ Ton Towable Couples Camper! 2025 Freedom Express 247SE Coachmen Travel Trailer

[@myrandabrown]

This great for people who like to sit outside and want a place for the grands when they come with.

[@JandAReview1]

As a rear kitchen RV owner, this is really good! The storage and window coverage is awesome! Thank you Josh!

[@FrankF1965]

This is a beautiful rig. Great storage, perfect for a couple. Should sell well!

[@pauldodd4326]

Nice looking little camper

[@joannsmith7185]

I think a pocket door would be better for the bathroom

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Actually.. yeah

[@Brigand231]

It's not a bad little unit for what it is. The TV placement makes me think of Class C's for some reason. The only real complaint we have with this one is the shower. Thanks for the tour, Uncle Josh and crew!

[@FredBiesinger]

Not a bad camper at all lot of nice, well thought out features And absolutely love the "U-tensil" drawer Keep up the fantastic videos Josh

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Uuuuuuuuuuu-tensil drawrrrrrrr

[@timengle3042]

VERY NICE and CLEAN

[@toddjones1403]

Bluetooth, not wired….about ten years too late…but finally! Which also means no crappy outside speakers!

[@betterwithrum]

or extra holes

[@laattardo]

HoW Do YoU KnOw?😂😂😂 like this one. Thanks!

[@gailbrackeen]

I like it. Laid out well.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thank you for watching!

[@naomioliver9889]

Another cool FE video to save for future purchase studies. Few missed opportunities for storage that i saw. But all floor plans get tweaked eventually. And as for the leash/bottle cap/ bag thingy, our first camper didn't have one. We didn't realize how much it was needed until we bought our new camper with a similar one.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I just found out they have a similar layout coming into their "Ultralite" segment above this "Select" series that'll be like the 23LDE Imagine.. I'm eager to see that

[@naomioliver9889]

@JoshtheRVNerd our current camper was bought last March, so it will be a while before we get another. But never hurts to look😁😉. Look forward to the next FE video.

[@Isolden11]

LOL the editor shot! Very funny video!

[@texillini1]

1) I like it! I like the mix of the attempt of a little bit of everything at an affordable price. 2) You are correct, camping not glamping. Camping is for weekenders and wanting explore the outdoors. Glamping is for snowbirds with some extra cash to spend the winter in comfort. Nothing wrong with that. Hoping to possibly be me one day. 3) Can one buy an aftermarket strut for the under the bed storage? Does Bish’s sell some of these various aftermarket accessories for some of these brands that you sell? 4) Agreed, pop up power towers would be nice but a small extension cord could used or power strip could be installed under the cabinet to help with appliance needs. 5) You should get official credit for creating the “U-tensil” drawer. Racheal Ray was given an award by the dictionary people for her creation of “E.V.O.O.” And how it is now mainstream and in the dictionary. 6) Not CPAP compliant in the back behind closest but depending on one’s hose linked and machine style, it appears that one could fit on the ledge in front of the door. 7) Overall it looks as if the camper would be classified as half-ton towable for flat land Michi-Anna or 1/2 T H.D. or 3/4 T or greater for hilly areas, correct? 8) Collecture: Nerdism #37. 9) I think only having only one hooker-upper is worthy of the slight inconvenience for the drainage. 10) Overall, I like it. Great to both of you on the vid.

[@marysaltlife1427]

Really like it but want bedroom cabinet doors. Radius shower, no problem. Can live with little-but-present kitchen counter space. I'd be really interested. Yeah, double axle!

[@muzikteachermom]

Love everything except the radius shower.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

They haven’t updated version coming with a similar, but not identical layout that will have a walk-through bathroom with a rectangular shower

[@chasl3443]

I like it except for the radius shower, but the rest of the design is intgriguing. This will be the only rig with a radius shower I put on my list. Thanks!

[@davidoverton2432]

I like the fridge set up the dual swing door can be handy depending on location . But a freezer drawer is definitely preferred. I like the choices made for this unit nice but not over the top. Would've liked struts on the bed storage but it's not a deal breaker. Quick question though is that fresh tank designed to be carried full. I know much of the industry is not

[@tomrichard8020]

Thanks nerd 🍺 🤓

[@chriscalvin5083]

Good video Josh

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY!

[@CatrachaCaracola]

Looks huge not small at all

[@Patricksmancave]

Love the classic floor plan. The living room is ok. Wish in the slide out it had no carpet! Like the door side window. The bathroom is good. The bedroom is good. Love how small this is. Thank you!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I hear ya on the carpet.

[@vitkobylka6432]

Hi Josh, I think you said it’s 28’long and specs show 24’ 6” is one measurement not including the bumper and front frame?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I must've screwed something up on those specs. 28ft total is correct

[@jenniferperkins4529]

That's very nice!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I'm glad you think so!

[@judithmoore7892]

I like that refrigerator, but is there a reason they mount it so high? A lot of us wouldn’t be able to reach the top shelf.

[@TrailToughTrailers]

Josh, I love your honest, quick and FUNNY videos. My wife and I study up and this one almost "is the one." We are waiting a little longer, but will most likely be calling Bish in the near future. We are watching how the industry at large shakes out in 2025. With all of that said, I have one question why this one is thing is done, and it drives me crazy (er)... When looking at the curb side, they stop the awning just to the left of the door. Why do they not see a benefit of, if not using a longer awning and having it extend to the left thereby keeping more of the rain/weather out of the door area, or at least shift the same length awning to the left of door. I really doubt the additional 2 ft. of awning at their buying power would amount to a lot of money. To me it just seems foolish at least to NOT shift the awning over to the left more. What am I missing? Thanks for any enlightenment....

[@michaelb6967]

Question for you , what where the three electronic devices on the bathroom wall by the door ? I looked at the pictures from the link and they didn't cover it either . I know it's probably tanks, A/C heat but have no idea about the third one . Whats you thoughts on the bottom slide out freezer ? We looked at a toyhauler with one and to me it looks like you lose 1/4 to 1/2 of the freezer space because of it's weird inside shape . Anyways like always a great video !!!

[@tammythompson4509]

Is this available in either a higher end Freedom Express or in the Catalina line?

[@sergiotamez6560]

Love all your videos! Can we get one for the NoBo 18.0 please??

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I love the request - ty for it We currently do not have NoBo models in our lineup anywhere which surprises me. As a result I'm not able to get footage on them I hope we get them added at some of our stores at some point

[@reneedickerson4489]

Thanks for the tour Josh. But I just feel claustrophobic look at the opening from the bedroom to the bathroom. I think i would remove the little cabinet dresser and it would be a little better.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I wonder if you'd feel the same in person. On camera it looks more cramped than it really is

[@seaphor665]

Hey Josh, Not a question on this video or RV, but I've been looking everywhere I know to look- How do I find out if my roof is walk-able? I have a 2018 Keystone Bullet UltraLite 272BHS and all I can find is "you need to check your roof every 3 months..." Please help or send a link to where I can check these things

[@covenant11]

Another great video!! Mr. The RV Nerd! Would you consider having a filter to the Bish's web site that allows me to filter between RVs that do and do NOT have slides? Thank you sir!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

We have so many things we'd LIKE to do but our current site provider just won't do them. We need to get a new platform or something at some point

[@Basscater81]

We’ll do it live! F it! We’ll do it live! 🤣

[@Cowboy47]

#RVNerdHerd 😊 🎉 😊

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ty sir

[@shawnsprague7401]

Really liking what they’ve done inside this camper, but not loving the new look outside on the Freedom Express

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I'm REALLY happy with how they've updated

[@roysims7710]

Is this not aluminum framed an is it 28 or 25 ft ? Like all the storage

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Regarding aluminum framing… It depends on where you look. Most of the RV is but not the entire thing. Most manufacturers to talk about aluminum framing, or only referring to their side walls and not the rest of the RV.

[@DerekFrampton]

this camper without the automatic water, dirt, ice, and leakage collector.. errr I mean slide would be killer!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

lol I was like “what is he talking ab- oh..”

[@DerekFrampton]

@@JoshtheRVNerd you know I'm a slide hater. lol Still a great RV regardless. ;)

[@kenp9469]

Nice unit. The only thing I would dign them for. I know the over the bed storage has a couple of inches on the botton. But for me, that is not enough. Why does everybody not use cargo nets?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

A lot of buyers really dislike the look of cargo nets so we don’t see a lot of them in a lot of RVs

[@kenp9469]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Thank-you. I wondered if that was the problem. To me function is the most important thing. Guess that has become a rare perspective.

[@juangallegos7178]

Wondering if this model comes in stick and tin option? Really not a fan of fiberglass.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Surprisingly I'm not really aware of anyone doing that I was just talking about this the other day. Great timing

[@kennyscott1591]

Like to how much money

[@kayleen9110]

Looks nice,however the cabinets look cheap..not good wood quality,looks like pressed wood.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Pocket screwed lumbercore

[@robmathias9986]

The outside is classic and clean looking, but I don't like it. Wondering if I've been conditioned to only like swoops, swirls and mountain graphics

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I really like the look of this new generation myself. The way the graphics persist over the slide is awesome.

[@GrillMarksBud-S-n-P]

TV is awkwardly placed for those rainy days. Better RVs out there for Single/couples. Pass for me. But good first rv

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah, this floor plan has been around a while. When it was first popular, nobody cared about a TV in a camper. So they kind of added the TV after the fact.

[@laura7053]

🎉#NerdHerd

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY Laura

[@tumbleweed1976]

Super minimal kitchen prep 🤢

[@stevez340]

Just offer a sofa “option” for the outdated diner booth dinette for people who would prefer to have comfortable seating for 4 on a cold rainy day, and this would be perfect💥💥💥

[@franchesdun]

We play cards and games and like to talk to each other at dinner. Dinette is not outdated.

[@stevez340]

@ We like to talk to each other at dinner too, just from a comfortable residential sofa, theater seating, or a table and chairs, just like we have done at our home for my entire life without ever having to sit at an uncomfortable 1950’s diner booth dinette😂
