I noticed when you were talking about kitchen access and having to move the slide that there is an outdoor kitchen. If you didn't want to move anything inside but still wanted to get a sammich and a drink, just pack the small outside fridge for travel and you're good to go. Not the best in winter, but would work perfectly in spring/summer at a truck stop

Thoughts 💭 Kitchen: 1: Corner Keurig/Appliance hutch 2: Spices & stuff racking on backsplash 3: Include backsplash around the entire countertop 4: between couch and sink have a angled 📐splash guard Windows: Appear they just threw some here and there out of the parts bins. Consider European dual pane acrylic windows with built in shade or frameless. Floor Decking: Use same composite floor Ember and Airstream are using A/C: Have metal a/c ducting that connect between two roof mounted a/c units. Roof: Composite only, no wood substrates please Slide Out: Include topper please. Lithium batteries: Please inform rv manufacturers they all need to accept today’s lithium battery technology and engineer an internal location for lithium batteries, inverter/charger etc. Batteries outside on the tongue frame is so yesterday. Theft and added hitch weight is not smart.

if this is designed towards couples camper then the slide could change to a shallow slide. the dinette shrinks down to a 1 person per side maybe an extension table with some folding chairs if 4 are needed. The pantry behind TV is still good just not as deep which we prefer as things tend to disappear into those deep storage. Also almost looks like they could offer washer dryer hookups in that bed room shared closet not that i would want it but nice for couples to have that might full time. travel mode is huge for us and i think more people than some realize after they have experienced having access to fridge sink and micro while traveling. it is a deal breaker for us. looking forward to seeing the windows added.

An option for with or without a larger window package would be great. Personally I like the windows the way they are. Arizona desert temps, where I live and camp, are death on all that glass. The 50amp dual AC option is a must. The problem with all that storage is you are going to overload this unit, less than 1200 lb cargo available. I like the idea of a shallower slide, like the 246RKS uses but the height of this one, with a less deep pantry and 1 per side table. Darker fabric/leather preferred. Don't need w/d, to small and you're probably at a campground so use the laundromat. A single basin kitchen sink please and a 12v outside fridge. A queen size bed is fine. Slam latches would be good. I was just looking at a 294bhds. It has a better option for the pantry-tainment center.

Great trailer floor plan. In the kitchen I would suggest I’m going for a ducted AC heat system so you don’t have vents in the floor and you could put a trashcan underneath the little fliptop counter extension so you don’t lose that extra space. They could take one of those cabinet doors over the kitchen counter and install a small television for the booth people to watch because they really can’t see anything at all over there, if you’re big TV watchers no one’s ever gonna sit there. Bathrooms good I think they could put a bigger shelf on the commode wall instead of a little key hook looking cabinet. They could actually put washer and dryer hook ups and the nice cabinet in the living room or in the bedroom and still not lose a bunch of space. I don’t need a king bed so I’m not worried about that one. The storage on the outside is phenomenal not real keen on having to go through the tires to get to your sewer hook up mainly because if you had a flat and it does some damage it’s going to damage that attachment most likely. Other than that if I wasn’t a motorhome driver that’ll be an awesome trailer to have.

They’ve done a really nice job on this unit. It’s a great couples camper and I love that they don’t let storage go to waste. I agree with all the upgrades and the comments you make about things you’d like to see done differently. To them I will add: There aren’t enough drawers in the kitchen which is of course driven by a number of factors that can’t be changed. However the space under the fridge would be good for a couple of drawers. The TV needs to open the other way to access the pantry and be hinged to pivot clear. This allows two things. 1 you can now see the TV while cooking or sitting in the dinette facing forward if the TV is open. 2. By pivoting it clear you can install pull out shelves which solves being able to reach items that are deep in the back there. In the bedroom I vote yes to a King bed option. The cabinets above the front of the bed get narrowed to allow the tall side cabinets to move up. This creates an open night stand type space on both sides of the bed allowing a King option and also giving you space for your phones, CPAP etc. With all the other storage this a trade off very much worth making. I’d also like to see that center space at least have the option of being closed in to a big box accessed by raising the bed. My personal feeling is that as is it ends up being wasted space. If they aren’t going to enclose it then at least put a cargo net at the back end. Move the TV connections outside to above the axels to avoid the door swing issue. Lastly the front pass through door on the drivers side seems needlessly small. Both of them should be the same size.

The insert is an easy peasy, cheap fix! Outside kitchen for travel mode, and if you forgot something open the R&P slide. Like the table storage! That utensil drawer design would be easy to clamp a trash bag at the back and keep it tidy!

That is a jaw dropper! Big awning that covers the outside kitchen, no-slide-camp-side, decent shower size with actual/useable counter space in the bathroom, triple kitchen pantry space, acres of kitchen counter, generous outside storage, solar... I don't even care about the road-mode access because of the rack & pinion slide... Besides the windows you mentioned, I'm trying to think of what they could possibly do in the next version and the only thing I can come up with (admittedly nit-picking) that could be upgraded is perhaps powered levelers? It's amazing what they did in that length and with those specs and at that price. If they were to add a king option, I would max the wardrobe size on one side and try to squeeze a "side-shuffle" space against the wall on the other side (helps when making the bed). And with that king option, maybe a small (whatever space is left over) side shelf or night-standlet where the other wardrobe used to be for cell-phone or maybe a cpap. All around great job with this one! Well done, Sir!!

I'm amazed by all the storage and counter space available and hope version 2.0 does not give any of that up. I want to suggest two improvements. 1) Swing the TV from the opposite side. right now when you swing the tv out it would allow anyone you stuffed into the pantry the ability to watch TV. Now if someone earned a timeout in the pantry, they probably should not be watching TV, (lol). By swinging the door the TV is mounted on in the opposite direction and adding a pivot TV arm the TV could be viewed by the cook in the kitchen or by those sitting in the dinette. 2) It looks like the pantry closet on the mid wall next to the TV is big enough to house a washer/dryer combo, Being positioned over the axels, and next to the bath should allow for that pantry closet to be prepped for a washer/dryer combo. I know that is usually not an option seen in this type of TT, but heck why not.

We had a similar Freedom Express Liberty Edition. Rear kitchen 32 feet 30 Amp with 1 a/c. We live and travel almost exclusively in SW Florida. We found that the 1 a/c was fine. It took as long as 30-45 minutes to cool down on a drive day but we had no problem keeping it cool after that

Great floor plan for couples or single campers. Love the counter space (sadly more than my house). In Michigan, only need one air. Agree with under sink cabinet. I would need a small step stool to use all of the upper cabinets space. Would use baskets to store things in the entertainment storage. Or something on tracks to pull it out. Small bar next to cabinet would be a great place for charging station. Double cabinet in bathroom, nice place to keep toilet paper rolls and cleaning supplies. Queen bed is great, wouldn’t want to give up storage closet.

Very nice trailer! Was happy to learn the clothes bar & power towers are being added. Agree storage needs lighting. Not crazy about sink position, would prefer it straight on one side of counter or the other instead of at an angle. Shower size is great, would like it even better with a bench. Definitely need a king bed option. I'd accomplish this by making the wardrobe shorter with open space under it. That would also be an excellent place for cpaps. LOVE the underbed arrangement and the storage shared w/bath, hamper is awesome!

LOVE the window over the head of the bed! LOVE all of the storage space for yarn to crochet with! Don't like the floor vents cuz my service dog is an English yellow lab and they SHED a LOT! Wish they put a little cubby in the side of each of the bedside closets so a person could put their phone, tablet, whatever there. I'm not a fan of booth tables. Perhaps a desk there and lagoon tables for the theater seating. Just my preference. This comes EXTREMELY CLOSE to being perfect for us! Would you like me to crochet you a really warm hat, Uncle Josh?

Southwest. Two airs on anything over 21-24ft box. Depending on ducted vs. standard. 3 Airs on anything over 30ft box. We actually had a 3rd air added to our current 365pack16. Can't run ANYTHING other than the 3 airs though, or the generator gives you the finger (understandably). Mini-rant: I don't think there is any certification for BTU ratings. Or they have gotten loose. Why do I say that? I've owned 7 campers. The newer they are, the less the AC actually works. 1991 Rexhall class A, 1993 unknown Class C, 1996 Rexhall Class A, 2003 Trail-bay TT, 2015 Freedom express TT, 2020 Genesis Overnighter, 2022 365pack16. We still have our class A from 1996. The rear AC is original and blows ice cubes compared to the coleman replacement we have up front. The 2015, 2020, and 2022 trailers take FOREVER to cool and sometimes can't keep up. All of our old units would turn into ice boxes in short order. And I mean that, the old ones could pull the inside down into the 60's when it was over 100 outside, in about 2 hours. The last 3 campers we have owned would have to run full tilt for 5hrs to get the interior down to 76 when it's 105 out. If they are in direct sun, probably can't break 82. Ok, rant over.
@JoshtheRVNerd2 жыл бұрын
Something to consider about newer RVs: Windows. RVs today have more and larger windows than ever before. They're an R0.7 typically and even "dual pane" windows are just shy of an R1.1 So we're building Rvs with bigger and better air systems, but we're also punching holes in the walls and ceilings because people think they're pretty that way.

There's STORAGE GALORE!!! love the floorplan, congrats Josh! Minor nitpicks: - Matching color trim above the dinette - Extend the cabinet above the recliners to the end of the arm of the chair, or just extend the front fascia and add some hooks on the side buy the door for keys etc. - Round the corners of the bed platform solves the ouchy factor. Join the trim at the front center as it allows for 2 longer vs 3 shorter pieces and conceals the seam.

I like the white "leather" and the little coffee bar area, along with the big pantry/closet next to it. The big, for a travel trailer, kitchen area is nice as well and they did a nice job with shower and bathroom, as for the bed, the residential queen is all I need. If a person wanted too, they could probably convert that dinette area into an office, though you might want to keep the weight down, I'd bet that slideout is built for the weight of the factory dinette. I really like this one, a few feet longer than I really want, but those few feet make one heck of a difference on the inside.
