An RV Maker FINALLY Listened!! 2024 Ember E Series 25RUD Travel Trailer

[@rsmartin68]

Ok, this is for all RV manufactures of this style of floor plan. If you can not have the water heater and furnace exhaust on the camp side and under the awning space, that would be great.

[@athomewithjenny]

Definitely agree

[@lynnjudd9036]

Agreed . And get rid of the bedroom door by the stairs. Otherwise this trailer is awesome.

[@dronecatalyst]

Agreed, I would give up outside storage to have it on the rear or on the 💩 side.

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Thank you for sharing your preferences on this floor plan! We agree that EVERY floor plan should try to put exhaust on the driver’s side (off door side). In this specific 25RUD model, the water heater (which is used more frequently than the furnace) exhausts exactly how you ask! Unfortunately, there is no other “real estate” on that side of the coach for a furnace exhaust and so it’s hiding underneath the kitchen cabinetry. One thing to note - the exhaust from the furnace is mostly hot air, making it less of a nuisance in cold weather months.

[@dizbuster30]

I love my furnace exhaust under the awning on the camp side. It’s an extra outdoor heater when camping in cold weather (which is our type of camping).

[@stormraven4183]

I can tell you *exactly* why I would pivot that table...for those of us who are "fluffy" a regular dinette is impossibly tight. I do worry about the large knobs being shin scrapers, though. What about putting levered clamps there instead of knobs?

[@bobmiscavage4282]

I agree being able to spin the dinette would be great for those on the plus size. Like that single dinette adjustable support

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

This was their early prototype. I'm not sure what leg-securing-mechanism they may have chosen for production

[@theresanelson8230]

TV is fine where it is. I'd go for another window on the camp side. I LOVE the A+ travel access! Add a countertop extension next to sink, and this RV is perfect!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I like the add'l windows idea but how could they accomplish that? Would you be OK losing some cabinetry perhaps?

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@theresanelson8230]

I'd put another small window under the TV - no need to lose cabinetry.

[@HeathInHeath]

Thanks for another great review Josh. Would like this even better with a window in the rear door, move the storage above the dinette to the side walls, and a taller window on the rear. The pivoting table would be useful for people with limited mobility to get into the dinette and would be great for some games and puzzles. I don't understand why tv mounts can't drop down as well as pivot. It will be interesting to see how buyers react to having a two burner cooktop and no oven. I'm not sure that lack of an oven is a big deal in a smaller camper, and I'm also not sure who needs three burners. The lack of windows over the section of counter beneath the tv is lamentable. I hope they add that back for production. Bathroom storage is outstanding. This is one of the best passthrough bathrooms I have seen. The access with the slide closed is fabulous. I would prefer to buy this without a door in the bedroom due to the quality of access (I don't like doors in the bedroom at all to be honest, but here it is not even necessary).

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Thank you for your detailed comments!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

the road mode totally surprised me. I was not expecting it at all

[@josephelden4573]

We have the same looking dinnette area and table in our Reflection 31mb. The tabe turning makes the above cabinets a lot easier to access. One thing I don't like about it is the table wobbles no matter how tight you make the clamps AND if you have guests and turn it into a sleeping area, the provided cushions slide right off the table when you roll over. If we need to do that this year we're going to try some none slip shelf stuff.

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Good points from an experienced customer! The non-slip might be a great idea if there’s concerns about the cushions moving. Ours fit pretty tight, but it’s still a good idea!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I love this. TY for taking the time to watch and share. As an owner your feedback means so much more

[@kylecormier9930]

With the travel access as good as it is, why not eliminate the door in the bedroom in the stairs? This would eliminate a tiny bit of weight and get rid of a door that's not needed in my opinion.

[@craigquann]

Imagine being in bed and someone is in the bathroom and you need out...

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I actually agree

[@kylecormier9930]

Lol. I was thinking it's a couple's camper, I've seen everything already so nothing would stop me from walking through the bathroom. But I understand not everyone would want to do that

[@stevegriffin1413]

This is hands down the best RV for our needs I’ve ever seen. We would use it differently than most. The dinette would be almost always in bed mode with a premium camping air mattress and the teenager would get the bedroom. We always eat outside unless the weather is horrible. Finally something that provides the privacy we “need”.

[@stevegriffin1413]

Also we like what many don’t-the subdued graphics, the 2 burner stove and low window count (except the dinette) are all big pluses

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You'd be surprised - lot of folks like these as buddy camping type campers due to that big dinette!

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Glad to hear this floor plan fits your needs! Many other customers have asked for great flexibility with sleeping configurations as well!

[@CaptainFantastic79]

It’s a true couples couch, so 86 the huge dinette! Easy changes… *No plastic sink in the bathroom *Tower of power in the kitchen *Swap the dinette for a desk or counter bar *Roller shades *Keep TV location but add drop down arm *30lb LP tanks *Tank heater switch inside *Solar and inverter standard (it’s 2024!) * MORryde Safe-T-Rails * MORryde CRE3000 (just make it standard) *Do people really use the exterior “shower”?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

A lot of what you’re saying would resolve organically in a touring edition and is a symptom of the price point. Totally good requests though

[@CaptainFantastic79]

Ahhhh makes sense.

[@orcus79orca5]

I used the outside "shower" to wash my dog, after he had a mud bath on a warm day.

[@jdollar5852]

A lot of this comes down to price. I park camp, so paying an extra $2k for solar doesn't make sense to me. I have never used the outdoor shower but I do use the outdoor hose for washing things off on occasion. I don't think I've ever even turned the hot water knob. I can see where it would come in handy while off grid to save gray water storage. We use our outdoor shower on the boat quite a bit for this reason.

[@NickCharles]

@@JoshtheRVNerd If they did a touring edition of this it'd be in my top 5 like that. Affording it is another matter entirely, but let's not talk about that part 😅

[@markshelhart8338]

Keep tthe tv where it's at and add a window underneath it, would make it seem way more airy and exposed to the camp side.

[@JulieLynn1997]

Agree!

[@petemcfeet28]

If there is full walk through access to everything, I would prefer the bedroom door be eliminated completely and instead have a passenger side window to match the driver side window in the bedroom to allow a nice cross breeze at times as well as great light and camp side views. Cheers Nerd!

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Thank you for sharing your preferences with us! We’re listening for feedback!

[@gearjunkie3402]

I've been saying for years to square off the countertops. Never liked or see a good reason to make it at an angle. More storage space is always better. Love the total access with slides closed!. The pantry is always better than a 3 seat sofa to me. Rather have a real oven. No door in the bedroom, hmmm, IDK. a window and another cabinet?

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

@@gearjunkie3402 thanks for the extra feedback! Some of your thoughts just seem like common sense, right?

[@kylecormier9930]

If money was no object, I would have a telescoping TV come up from the counter to the right of the stove. It's out of the way when you're cooking, but when you want to watch TV, it's at a great level. That would also allow for a little extra cabinet space up above. Not the cheapest way to fix the problem but maybe the cleanest looking.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY Kyle. This is suuuuper helpful feedback

[@kylecormier9930]

@@JoshtheRVNerd for all the work you put into these videos, it's the very least I can do to add some feedback. Your videos have been so helpful that even though I live in Massachusetts, the next time I buy an RV I'm going to drive to a Bish's RV location to buy my travel trailer.

[@JulieLynn1997]

Love this Floorplan. It would suit our needs perfectly. Most of the time use as a couple's camper, but with the dinette & swap in the sofa bed, will be able to have our adult kids join us occasionally. I would like a bigger window in the kitchen, and instead of a permanent mount TV at counter height, add a drop down pivoting TV arm so the TV can be adjusted left/right, up/down.

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Thank you for your comments!

[@donchaput8278]

Ember is always awesome. Hard to complain except for the high TV. Toe kick and longer kitchen window would be nice but it is a E series.

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Thank you for your kind words! 🔥🔥🔥

[@JessicaEngle-l1o]

Thanks Nerd! I am really loving Ember and appreciate them adjusting to viewer feedback. Super in love with the A+ travel access, I was not expecting that. TV is a little up in the ceiling but I would be frustrated if it was encroaching all the beautiful counter space with the squared-off counter. I am leaning towards the current table leg. That twist and shout feature while still being stable is appealing. Since I would be in a bad mood when pulling out the spare tire, I just want it well-protected so it is going to be in working condition when I need it.

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I obviously wasn't expecting the excellent travel access either!

[@stevenmullins9799]

This looks just about perfect. When my teenager goes off to college, this could be the best of all worlds for him to occasionally stay with us or for me to bring a buddy on my guy's mountain trips. Just wow.

[@pegatheetoo1437]

I think the pivoting table is handy for those who have a hard time skooching around to the back of the booth. And I like the theater seating since I need to sleep in a recliner; it works out fine. I think they should have an extra window above that kitchen counter, but if not, I think that would be a good place for the tv. But it might be blocked if you're working in the kitchen. So, they may have chosen the best spot. And, yes, they should switch the doors to have the one with a window in the living room. 😁

[@Barret-paddles]

MORE windows!!!! Kitchen is great. Plastic sink a no no and single fixture would look a lot better. Thanks Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You bet!

[@de9699]

Turning the table: people who are larger don't fit well in booths, turning the table would help getting in and out. I think this could work for buddy camping. Just make the dinette an actual bed with real mattress and leave it that way. Use folding tray tables in the theater seats to eat. Two permanent beds in separate rooms both with access to the bathroom.

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Interesting thoughts! Certainly could be used that way!

[@de9699]

@@EmberRecreationalVehicles As a single person who travels with a friend, I look at RVs and keep saying Nope. There's a double bed and then shorter/smaller beds, but actual two separate beds seems to be rare, especially in something smaller.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think there's more buddy campers out there than most folks realize. This is good input

[@karinporter7862]

This is an awesome camper! I agree with all the comments about the window on the camp side, the swivel table being good for a host of reasons, the high ceiling and many more very big plus items. With such great travel access, what’s the point of an additional entry/exit door in the bedroom? Since it’s not necessary, it could probably go away. And… I love that you show Road mode access! It could be a deciding factor for me when it’s time to buy. I also appreciate the links to similar floorplans so I can at least check them out. Keep doing what you’re doing Nerd!You’re a rockstar!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I suspect they planned the model before realizing they nailed the travel access that well. MOST builders of this layout DON'T have that good travel access

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Thank you for sharing your comments!

[@wmschooley1234]

Josh: This RV has way more space than wife and I need. But I really like the functionality of it. Definitely passes truck stop or rest stop the rolling head, bed and mess accessibility without needing to deploy the slide out. If wife and I ever decide to replace our present trailer with one that has a slide out, this Ember E Series 25RUD would be absolutely warrant further consideration. Good job Ember. Respectfully, W.S.

[@johnnyquest8710]

For my own ‘ideal’ layout I wish the dinette had just a movable table and 2 free standing chairs. I would give up the extra storage from the built in benches and not look back. The tv NEEDS to be lowered by the mount most preferably. Kudos to a human sized shower height, a seat would be a really great addition. And a 2nd a/c vent in the bedroom would be great, I turn polar bear at night 🐻‍❄️

Dining table: Great just like it is! Having a table that can be lowered an inch or so for a better typing height helps for those that spend hours working! Ember also rocked the backsplash, while I don’t like the cheap floor tile design, I love that they covered all of the backsplash! 👍🏽 Re: Pantry or Sofa? BIGGER REFRIGERATOR!

Josh, when I did a search on twin beds in trailers, there was a post where someone mentioned that their spouse was in a wheelchair and they needed that center aisle to manage getting in and out of bed. Just another reason to put twins in a trailer. You can still have the hanging closet in the middle with a shelf and outlets behind them with overhead cabinets above and not lose any storage space. Also, have a slide out wardrobe so road mode is not lost.

The floorplan is pretty cool. I don't understand with the easy way to get to the bathroom, why have the bedroom door? I'd want a little more space for dad and I. I think the Touring is where my eye seeks for space.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think that bedroom door may go away in time. They likely expected the slide to block the bathroom as that's what happens to nearly every builder of this layout But.. their did not unexpectedly (a pleasant surprise I think)

[@billmunn234]

This!!!! This is a GREAT floor plan!! If this was a Touring....we'd have a really hard time between this and the 28MSL. This reminds me of Rockwood's floor plans from 10 years ago, which were brilliant (and no longer), but better executed. If you are able to use the Exact Slide while in, then you lose absolutely nothing in Road Mode!!! HOLE LEE COWWWWW!!!!! Changes? Sure. I ALWAYS want a couch instead of a dinette. But, if it's going to be a dinette, then a junk in the trunk door in the back would be perfect.

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

You absolutely CAN use the Exact-Slide while in “road mode.” It’s one of the unique benefits of that slide room mechanism!

[@hoss1003]

Hey Josh.. Entry door is too small. Floorplan is great except for these changes I'd make.. Dinette seating doesn't look comfortable. Dinette table needs to be square, but keep the swivel drop down feature. TV needs to be in LOWER cabinet, as a televator OR swivel mounted on lower wall. And Josh you're right, they need two lights under theater seating cabinets. AND, Every RV needs an OVEN.. Stovetop needs to be a wider 3 burner, that 2 burner just looks funny and Microwave should only be a Microwave.. it definitely will need 2 AC Units with all them doors and walls that can be closed for privacy. Why don't any manufacturers offer stackable W/D? Travel Trailer Owners wash their clothes too. This bathroom storage cabinets could fit them. And "ALL" Cabinets need doors on them. That way clothes and towels don't fall on floors or into toilets, while moving to next location. Oh, Put a window in the door. All these changes can be done in this trailer without much trouble. See Ya

[@betterwithrum]

TV can go for our camping style. Cargo capacity could be better; I would appreciate another 300 lbs to take advantage of the space they created. One thing that would be nice is outside access to that back wall dinette storage would be dope. If they are considering that, please make it a wet bay so we can put hoses and stuff like that in there!

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Interesting comments - we’ll share them with the team. Can you tell us more about the cargo capacity you’re looking for? This trailer can hold 1,860# and we’re interested in what kind of cargo will exceed this…

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

rear "junk in the trunk" storage is something I also like

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Making that specifically a wet bay is kind of a brilliant idea though..

[@betterwithrum]

@@EmberRecreationalVehicles Hey Ember Staff ❤! Sure, so we cross shopped the Overland 190MSL and the Ibex 19MBH. We went with the Ibex because we had an SUV at the time and could barely handle the Ibex weight and the Ember was a fair bit heavier. We now have a 2500 series diesel truck so this is basically a mute point. But, one of the things that has come in handy has been the cargo capacity. When I hit the cat scales, we had loaded it up with about 1,400lbs of it's 2,250lb limit. This is about 60% of the capacity and I want headroom for full tanks, battery and solar upgrades, etc. 1400 of this 25RUD is like 75% of it's cargo capacity. So there's almost no headroom left if you're trying to stay at 80% or less of the cargo capacity. That extra 300lbs would bring it back below 70% of capacity freeing up some head room. I know this is a big ask, it's not like you guys can just print off some extra capacity and you're targeting a feature and price point to come in at. But, maybe it's something to consider or think about when updating this model in the future.

[@COMMANDER-ONE]

Hey Ember! I really really like this model and the thought and planning your designers put into it. I would like to see that sewage hose storage brought all the way out to the edge so it’s easy to access. Other than that, it is a fantastic camper. Great job Josh!

Hi Josh - great trailer. Definitely bring the TV down, or at least on an arm that can be lowered. Why no window under the TV? Toe kick is absolutely necessary to save your back! Instead of mongo dinette, why not a desk & dining bar configuration? Pantry/wardrobe, yes please. Put a window (with shade) in each door. Why are slide top covers/awnings never included? Excellent option for us. 😊

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Guessing the lack of window is a cost-related on an E-Series Slide awnings are rarely standard because they're _not_ a good idea in some cases/areas such as high wind zones So they're best as an aftermarket item for owner preference

We’re not sure we understand your comment. Every Ember comes with a telescoping ladder and rear mounted wall bracket standard. This ladder has a higher weight rating (330#) and is more versatile than current/traditional ladders being used widely in the industry today.

Love this camper! Would like to see a 3 burner stove and a true oven. If it has those two items this will be my next camper

I think they could make touring edition versions of many of their e-series to include features like this

Beast mode suspension 😊

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ember folks are the originators of that - they actually helped design it and debut it in their overlands

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

This floor plan is a little bit long for the Curt Independent Suspension system (which, as Josh noted, we co-developed and were first to bring to market!).

[@rvtastic2021]

1st thing great floor plan, I am in Florida and one ac will not keep that Rv cool in the summer and I would not buy one without it and all of my rving friends feel the same way (yes I could and one later but I would rather have it when I buy it). The slide on cables???? We all know that it is cheaper and lighter (per every Rv professional I have talked to)then the rack and pinion underneath the slide(anther reason I won’t even consider). Love the walk through bathroom (thanks for that!). There is a company that makes this floor plan with dual ac and rack and pinion under slide. This probably be the way I go next year but I love to see all that is out there and like to have options. Thanks for the video Josh. You are doing a great job as you always do!

We have a 20 RDSE that we love. We are going to a single pedestal in the dinette. A floating table is NOT ok. We're on a 49 states in 5 years plan. This MIGHT be something we'd like for Alaska and Canada in year 5 due to better exterior insulation.

At 00:10 nice flor plan

[@bobmiscavage4282]

Nice TT, but needs larger windows around the dinette like the Outdoors RV 25RDS has. Need doors with large trays under dinette seat for storing things like case of bottle water. Also needs a full size range and oven with the microwave at eye level. Mount to lower tv would be nice. What would make this a best seller would be a slide that you can use when closed like motor homes have. Need bathroom cabinet with room for waste can. Would rather have a attached ladder. Nice video Josh. Also no ads today.

[@bobmiscavage4282]

Plus need same steps like bedroom has for kitchen dinette entry.

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Thank you for sharing your opinions! Please note that this floor plan is FULLY usable and walkable with the slide room in!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

When I made this video I was unaware their execution of the exact slide system allowed the slide to be used when retracted!

That is the perfect spot for a spare tire IMO. Im probably going to move mine to that same spot quite frankly, I dont love it being on the bumper.

The sink is in a really bad place. In a corner, basically! Seems like men designed it because maybe they didn’t think of a cramped corner. Try putting it under the window and move the stovetop over!

[@hermanmunster8655]

Really really good looking trailer 👌🏽😍 two doors is really nice with both having the really nice steps. Not as turtle friendly as a no slide but very close, which is really good 👍🏽 for "New" model... I'd like to see the elimination of propane altogether. And the AC should have a heat pump and heat strip. And should be able to run on low amps. I do appreciate All the solar. Thank You for the review 😊

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY Herman! I have long felt MFGs almost need to make 2 versions of any RV - one all elec and one with boondock focus But that's super hard from a production standpoint so we get "in betweeners"

[@pennylynch4471]

I would turn the table perpendicular to make a comfortable spot for people to just hang out, and use the table as a spot to put drinks and snacks. Although I suppose that would work no matter how it's positioned. Maybe just to tell your friends how cool it is that it can pivot? I'd rather a free standing table, much more versitile. Let's talk about that kitchen. I love it. making that a full width counter is perfect. Loads of space! Drawers galore. So nice! I would like a window under the TV. And speaking of the TV, I like it where it is but put it on a drop down mount. I don't know why that kind of mount isn't common. Esp with the bedroom mounts. I would love a window in that space, and the door. Are the shelves in the bathroom clost adjustable? I'd like the larger areas on the lower part. Then anything smaller would be at eye level. Is there enough space to have a combo washer/dryer, assuming it can be factory prepped, or is that a whole new version. I'm just curious. Holy crap, road mode! Even I can fit my belly thru that!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I don't think the bath closet shelves are adjustable And yeah - that road mode was a NICE surprise

[@ADONAIsays-so]

I like it! The table, I take anything over the double pedestal style. Love the size of the table. TV- leave it as is. Cook top…. I’d pull it out and install a small propane burner or two. I’d also want a gas/propane stovetop Great advice on the sink, which could be a bit larger. I still can’t warm up to rigs with two doors, but this may do! It needs a BIGGER gray tank. It needs a slide awning! I can’t stand those ladders! Spare tire on the bumper…

Unsure. Apologies

[@outdoorslifesurvivecraft5078]

Great video, as always! I tell you, for its size, that is an excellent camper!! Real nice layout! I agree with you on the tv and the open cabinets in the bathroom. I would like to see the tv be able to drop down and swivel and doors on the cabinets. I would also like to see some shelves in the cabinets in the kitchen and above the dinette. It has enough big storage everywhere else. Also, I think a double sink in the kitchen would be a lot handier. OH YEAH, and the doors.🤣 Totally backwards.

[@peterogers7561]

The toe kick problem with the sink could easily be solved by extending the counter top out a few inches.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

👍🏻

[@cheryllveltum6846]

Please tilt the tv down! Otherwise this home is perfect t!

[@rondavis8477]

Josh, in reference to the tv, what if the cabinet was angled towards the door abit, that would/could allow for a 40 inch tv and then it could swing towards both dinette and the lounge chairs…just a thought…

[@justindavis1546]

Ditch the TV all together, and wouldn't miss if they took the microwave/oven too. I'm going camping, not taking my house with me. Like the small cook top. Most of the camp cooking is outside on the BBQ. Keep the trailer (bike rack) hitch.

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Thank you for your input! We like your camping style!

[@dancingshig]

Hey Josh, for the table, if they can make the legs sturdy, free floating would be more useful. For the TV, if it's not feasible to do a drop down or wall mount, maybe a tilting bracket? I'd personally prefer the wall space to mount things like a magnetic knife holder, spice rack, and other small adhesive mounted organizers. The kitchen window is a little short, but that's not the worst. I get the small sink in the bathroom, but if it could be a smidge wider? Also, a verticle rather than horizontal tp holder the would be as close to the middle in the door would be a bit more comfy. When the door is closed, leaning forward to get some is not ideal, but that is an easy post purchase modification. I love the slide depth, and since the bathroom and bedroom are accessible for most in road mode, I'd actually prefer no door, and a long and higher up window that allow for cross breeze without letting people look inside since the privacy screen need to be open for it and it's a creepy though that someone can look in while I'm sleeping

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah being watched while sleeping is weird for sure

[@marcireale]

My vote for tv placement is Nowhere. None. Nada. Love the microwave placement, two burner stove, and theater seats. I’d like to see the bath turned into a true split bath, like Airstream. Kitchen sink is placed forward in the countertop (good) but no toe kick (bad). Queen bed gets a huge thumbs down from me. King or twins win. Full travel access is HUGE! 😮😮😮

@EmberRecreationalVehicles I'm personally good with the colors. But I'm honestly impressed that you reached out. It's great to see. I know Josh mentions in his videos that you manufacturers actually listen to our feedback, but this level of service is 👍🍺.

[@craigquann]

@EmberRecreationalVehicles but my biggest critique is the small cook top/lack of oven. I don't use my microwave either. So my ideal kitchen is the 3 or 4 burner top with propane oven. But what would the possibility of having a recessed TV hidden behind the sliding door in the bedroom? Nothing fancy, but just enough for my wife to watch TV in bed. Think it would be a cool idea if it is even possible.

[@davidoverton2432]

That pivoting table should help our shorter spouses to better utilize the overhead storage

[@EmberRecreationalVehicles]

Good point!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That's actually an awesome point..

[@jdollar5852]

I literally wouldn't buy an RV with the microwave at knee level. TV is definitely too high and such an easy fix. The bed in a coffin is a big nope for side sleepers. Put a window in the bedroom but that would impacr the awning.. Adjustable shelves needed in the pantry. It absolutely needs a 2nd AC. July in Alabama doesn't respect a single AC. That inverter should run a microwave. My 2000 watt power station runs everything but the AC. I have never had a blowout in a camper so putting the spare underneath is a good thing.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY. Good input

[@lavonne9677]
