There is a whole lot to like about this new unit. The rear kitchen is pretty darn good currently. I like the camp side breakfast bar little office table setup. The tv mount would make for a great monitor stand. Skip the tv. Just install your favorite monitor on it. Those stools? Your ride ‘em cowboy demonstration revealed that they were more than a little flimsy for such horseplay. Might need to shop around for something a bit more stout. I would consider deleting the stove and replace the microwave with a convection oven/air fryer model. Then you could install the silverware drawer. I like the tote boxes under the counter. A bungee cord retainer strap could be used for rough road contents ejector shenanigans. The peeper window in the entry door and good size desk window are great for camp side use. And that dual way door is a great feature for the location of the fridge. I am thinking that this is one of the few times I might go for the slider. But on the other hand, would it be less expensive and less overall weight to just make the trailer a 8 foot wide model? I really don’t know myself. I am still mulling over the midship bathroom layout. But moving the skylight/vent fan over the shub is a great idea. I also think the 8 foot wide body would also be much appreciated in the bedroom. Just make it just a little more comfortable. And I am only at the 12:26 timestamp. By the way, I caught part of your Bishes podcast with BigTruckRV. Gonna go back and watch all of it from the beginning. Looks like I missed some cool content.

Nice little camper layout. I REALLY wish I could go with something in this size range, but it's not entirely 100% realistic. I have 'little camper envy' watching this video. I spied a few online photos of these units. ALL the changes you mentioned were executed: vent in shower, drawer in kitchen, and sliding bathroom door in living area. The awning is about the only thing that really needs improvement. I don't see why they cant extend it past the bedroom window. If they did, it would be 100% perfect little camper. It serves the perfect purpose for the way I need/use a camper. Outside TV bracket? Drop down door serving as 'blender table?' I love dropping a small TV onto the outside bracket, taking in a movie in early evening with my daughter. This past summer Monster's University was her choice, on 'loop'. 😁 I'd love to step inside to really feel if it'd be a feasible option. Thanks Josh for finding all the coolest new floorpans!

It appears the outside camp fridge is where the bathroom sink is. Unless there is some pump as you stated under the cabnet, the outside fridge could be eliminated for more storage in the bathroom. I only say this as you already pointed out, the full sized frige is accessable from the outside as it sits, having the dual opening door. Also, the bathroom door reversal is necessary or perhaps a pocket door that slides into the bar wall. Just a few thoughts.

Odd question… I recently looked into R values for different RV’s, and found conflicting info. One company says stick and tin are 1-2, another says 3-4. Ditto for Azdel, 1-4 save one that says about 8 (double thickness Azdel?) What is the truth?
@JoshtheRVNerd4 күн бұрын
This is why I never get into R-Values in my videos.. *RV Manufacturers virtually make up any number they want with zero recourse* Nearly all towable RV sidewalls are R7-9 *NO RV has an R40 anything. None.* Northwood is a brand WELL known for having superior insulation packages and hot/cold camp capability. Yet they publish some of the lower R-Values of any manufacturer... _because those are actual real R-Values_ - the truth is most rvs have roughly an R12ish roof. R14 is great. Northwood has a tested R18. They do more than the brands that tout R40 I cannot believe how the industry has been able to get away with it for over a decade now

Really like this little camper! I really wish they would have put the larger awning on it. I'd happily pay extra for the added space under it or trade the outdoor frig for it (not that I want to lose that frig but given the choice...). Having the door centered under a small awning is great for rainy entry/exit but useless for anything else without blocking access to the door. I also hate, hate, hate when the black tank flush port is on the campsite of the camper. Either find a way to keep it with the water hook ups or sacrifice the slight loss in functionality to route the connection to the appropriate location. It's not like they work wonders anyway...

Before you slid the slide in for travel, I wondered about the bathroom door also. It’s always nice while traveling with an RV or trailer to not have to use the public rest stop bathrooms when possible. I suggest, if possible, for the door to be a pocket door that slides in toward the shower side of the trailer. The one thing about having the door open into the bathroom is it’s kind of a small space already and that door would be cumbersome for some folks. A pocket door would solve both problems.

Otherwise, I LOVE this trailer size & layout!

Really like this floorplan for a small solo/couples camper. Has a lot of potential, good camp size coverage, and I like the 'dining bar' over a dinette. It's a series of complementary compromises to give a private bedroom space. Agree with the pocket door/sliding door for the bathroom. Has flexibility to add additional solar if desired. The single propane tank is a minus, in my opinion.

I like the angle of the storage on each side of the bed. Gives it a cleaner look and appears like it less likely to injure you getting in and out of bed. I have said before and will say again, I do not like rear kitchens. They are great while parked but miserable to keep things in order while in transit. Lastly I think that smaller campers should automatically come with a skylight in the shower. I get its a cost factor but that really limits some people on purchase.

This is the length of trailer we would like. But for us there’s a lot of negative. Just like everybody else the bathroom doors got to change. And what keeps all those bins up on the shelf when you’re going down the road under the breakfast bar? The kitchen needs a little bit of help. we are people who like a dinette. Because we play games at night inside especially when we winter camp. And for us I’m pretty sure my husband will only purchase a double axle trailer. He just feels that it’s safer if you have a blowout.

Nice video Josh, not too long and lots of good details! I like the layout, the breakfast bar instead of a table and kitchen design as well as size is impressive in a small unit. Would definitely opt out of the microwave for an air fryer oven. I'm good with no drawers & would like the flexibility of making the larger size cabinets a more organized, there are plenty of Pinterest ideas to make up for that. This camper is one I could see having to be able to travel a bit to my friends sites 2 hours from home and in South Carolina, instead of just staying at my seasonal site all of the time. I like not having a theater seat, I'd rather have the space to stretch out on the couch with my dogs. Skip the Walmart totes and get rid of the cheap carpet pieces on the slides, with the savings. I don't like the cheap tinny sounding speakers on the outside, I'd forgo the backup camera & put a decent speaker in or I'd pay extra for for better quality. OMG who was the person who actually puts a nightstand type space to put water, sleep apnea machines next to the bed???!! THANK YOU!!!! Totally agree with your shower vent fan move to bring light to that space, bathroom however is nice sized and very functional. I enjoy having a nice big TV, rain and mosquitos are always present after about 8:30 pm what size would that space take. The outside colors, windows and doors on the outside are very attractive, wish they could do something that nice on destination models. The bedroom doors on the cabinets are an odd 2 tone color, hoping that was a camera issue of some sort.

I dig this one, I really appreciate that they’ve already taken feedback on adding a drawer and swapping the bathroom door. Id like to see that outdoor fridge gone personally because it looks like that’s what’s taking up all your bathroom storage and with the fridge being such easy access from the front door it feels needless to me. Honestly I’d rather just bring a separate mini fridge and have to carry it in and out each day so it’s not out to be stolen while I’m sleeping. Maybe someone could make an outdoor fridge that can lock into a shelf on the outside so it doesn’t chew into my indoor storage when I’m not traveling. If this was about 2 feet longer to allow for a pantry by the sofa and a bonus wardrobe/pantry to the left of the dining bar this would probably be what I got but since the storage under the dining bar would have to be my pantry, living room storage, and bathroom storage all in one because of that outdoor fridge and the lack of cabinets above the sofa there just isn’t enough storage in this for me. It’s really a massive shame because this layout is fantastic otherwise!

Don't understand why there are so many spaces lost for switches and panels of controls. Would like to see the toilet angled for better access. Side tables by the bed don't look like they offer good space for 'stuff'. Under bed storage is good but the closet and bedside storage is not good. Sliding door for bathroom would be a better option.

I think this is a great little camper for the DIY couple or solo camper. Has all the essentials and would be easy DIY to add what you think is missing or need to be changed. Hinge the bathroom door from the opposite side and the door can be opened before you close the slide, easy peasy bathroom access for road mode. Larger fan for bathroom simple upgrade. There may even be an opportunity for another drawer on the right hand side of the kitchen. I'm betting they didn't put one there for fear of it being mangled in the slide system. But if you're careful I think it works. Need a spot to hang a coat or two by the entry door. Right now I think adding hangers on the bathroom door is the only option. But since it is a small trailer, that may be close enough. My only question is how well that enclosed bedroom work with the AC and heater being at the other end of the trailer.

It was a crazy humid day. I got there early. Air hadn't been running long. So the moisture in the air was condensing around the air unit where surfaces were colder This will happy in any rv under similar circumstances. The A/C unit acts like a dehumidifier and works to remove moisture out of the air over time to prevent it from continuing

We have a Wolf Pup. I love this model, but why don't they use pocket doors for the restroom? Great idea about the bathroom fan over the shower. The awning should have gone over to the bedroom window.

There was space under the stove in my Wolf Pup 14CC for a drawer. I bought a sliding basket on Amazon and installed it there after knocking out that blank cabinet piece. I have no idea why they waste that space.
@JoshtheRVNerd4 күн бұрын
I recently found out why - because the furnace was under it fire code prevented them from including a drawer there without a heat shield Turns out that was a SUPER simple fix that just kind of got overlooked for a surprising amount of time But now they're doing it across the board!

It's a small RV with normal sized furnace and air. It doesn't take much with the doors open to keep them climate controlled That being said I 100% think they should drop at least ONE duct for a/c down into the bath and bedrooms
