Thanks for the tour and the great review. I am impressed by the aluminum frame - no rust issues there. I also like the double axle, as opposed to most trailers of this size only having one axle. The floor plan is amazing, for the compact size of this trailer. I love the kitchen counter space and a regular oven. Cookies, even! Thanks

For the record I meant the campers structure is "aluminum framed" as opposed to wood framed. You can see it in the pass threw storage. Pretty sure frame it all rides on is steel.

Update: this trailer is a nice trailer, on the same par as Winnebago and a few others (except Lance, which costs a lot more). However, I just cannot get over the low axle clearance with old, very old-school leaf springs with 14" wheels and spare tire mounted underside. Those two axles are dangerously low to the ground. They are only a few inches above ground. Very scary. If Grand Design changes it to 15'" to 16" wheels with 2.5" lift, uses torsion axles vice leaf springs. This rig would be awesome. Nice. I was looking at this particular model because of its short length, 23' or less that I want. I do like the steps. There are a few items I don't like vs. Winnebago Micro Minnie 2108DS, 22.5' length. The XLS 17MKE still uses the old leaf spring and 14" wheels - too low to the ground, spare tire underside makes it even less ground clearance, a big no, no. The Winnebago uses torsion axles (no leaf spring), 15" wheels and off-road tires plus a 2" lift for extra clearance. It has slam-shut storage doors and wind-resistance door hinge, all-weather package (like the XLS), plus, wireless phone charger, and of course, pre-wired for camera, solar, WiFi. If the XLS has the lift and 15" wheels, and torsion axles, I would definitely get it.

There are many outlets all along the counter. They are actually in the bottom of the cabinets rather than in the wall, maybe 3 sets not sure. There is also a outlet down by the main switch for the lights by the door. I set my coffee pot up in the corner by the fridge. You may be able to see it set up in another one of my videos. I bring many things that need to be plugged in, cameras laptop and things and never had a issue being able to plug stuff in. In regards to the AC I think its 13 000 BTU which is more then enough for that small of a trailer.

Just to clarify you tow a travel trailer with a vehicle, you don't drive the trailer. That's why I don't like calling travel trailers "RVs" because a trailer is not technically a vehicle, you need a vehicle to move it. Anyway, in the US you don't need a special license to tow any private trailer, whatever the size. You don't even need a special license to drive a 50+ ft long diesel pusher with dual drive axles and air brakes! It's a "private coach" so no special license.

My perfect r.v. would be, did I mention closets, no stove, no dinette, one twin bed, (no guests) no slide, ( adds too much weight) just counter space for a Foreman grill, and a toaster oven. Extra outlets. Instead of the dinette, a small washer could fit, more wardrobes. No mini blinds. No exterior accessories. One comfortable non leatherette, non staining fabric chair. Collapsible small coffee table. Would be easy fit for a 23'.

@@travisstanley6093 The 2020 is a Murphy Bed. I'm sorry I don't know the exact size of it but if I had to guess a residential mattress wouldn't fit cause of the way it bends and locks shut, even if it is 60x80. When it comes to your truck I suggest looking up your vin on the Toyota website or at a dealer to check your tow ratings.
@Rick-tt6yq4 жыл бұрын
Travis Stanley. Hi Travis, I had 2 Taco 4x4 TRD 4dr Sports (2010 and 2019) so I think I can help you. First though it depends on the specs of your own truck so research that first. We started with a small tent trailer and the 2010 pulled it like a breeze. Wife wanted a fancier trailer so we got a Palomino Gazelle which had a dry weight of 3300 lbs...Taco handled it easily too, EXCEPT for the frequent fuel stops! Fuel economy was not great, especially in the mountains and windstorms but the engine itself never really went above 3500rpm...cruising at 100 kph (60 mph) on the flats without a wind, it would cruise along at about 2300 rpm...quite comfortable, We then went to a 2019 Taco and the 17 mke trailer (4900 lb dry). Yes the new Taco pulled it fine but the same limitations due to fuel tank capacity. While the truck had a pull rating of 6400 lbs and the new trailer was well below that, we were getting close to maxing out the Taco 1000lb payload. With about 500 lbs of tongue weight, 2 adults and a Labrador, we were didn’t have much extra payload capacity. In the end we also went to a new f150 with payload and towing packages. Among the goodies in the f150 is a 36 gallon fuel tank and frankly the fuel consumption isn’t hugely different from the Taco. So as a long time Toyota fan (going back to my then new 1981 Landcruiser diesel), the Taco is a great truck but I wouldn’t recommend it for pulling a heavier trailer over a long distance. We are retiring this spring and plan on some longer excursions so the full size truck fits for us now. That said, I think the Tacos I had would not be stressed mechanically...just lots of pit stops. Hope this helps.
