I Helped Design this RV!! 2022 Freedom Express 274RKS

[@aaronboswell5966]

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

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Good call!

[@kablah777]

Needs to be a 12v outside fridge or inverted outlet unless you have ice packs

[@snowwhite5842]

Or a cooler.

[@saskgirl44]

Was just coming to the comments to ask about that outdoor fridge! 🤣

[@scotts595]

This is an awesome floor plan! Things to add: One piece shower Slam latch outside cargo doors 2” receiver hitch for outside cargo rack Surround sound speakers Fantastic fan in bathroom Fantastic fan in kitchen Small inverter/generator or solar generator Towel bar in bathroom TP roll holder too (on right hand side) 4 season insulation package

[@sheputthelimeinthecoconut629]

Great new floor plan! Love the fact that the outside sink isn’t a dog dish. Here in Arizona, a 2nd AC is a requirement, not an option.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I can imagine. That's a different kind of heat out there vs. what we get here for sure

[@kerstenalvarado7175]

I wish it had one big sink, with the drainer. I hate the split sink, it's so hard to clean a big pot in the split sinks. Also it would have been nice if they got rid of the small pantry next to the fridge and left that spot open, You could put wall clips where you can store a broom and vacuum. Or at least make those shelves removable

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Removable shelves is a great idea I think

[@lenl2514]

Clever design. I would move the fireplace down to floor level, try to get theater seats without divider, (GREAT TV placement, love the counterspace. I agree- 50 amp in order to add 2nd A/C. Amazing storage space! Cleaning supplies can live in 2nd undercounter space in bathroom. Don’t change the bed for me- I like the cabinets. Lots of thought went into this unit. Singing is OK!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I like that Rockwood-style theater/love seat with the fold down center console. It's just a little wider than most though so it doesn't work for every camper where space is sometimes an issue

[@icare7151]

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.

[@terrycarlson568]

Get rid of the black. It looks like 1980 dock down entertainment center. Or ad

[@icare7151]

@@terrycarlson568 Totally agree. Coachmen needs to step it up. Rockwood gets it but are also behind.

[@richardcanfield2741]

Agreed!

[@catherineclark8156]

Wonderful floor plan for a couple. I liked everything in this camper except for the diagonal sink in the kitchen. Looks very awkward, it's more comfortable when doing dishes to have the sink directly in front of you. Laid out like that it takes up more valuable counter space also. Other than that I love this kitchen and all the storage. Thanks for the video Josh.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I will agree that sink setup wasn't my favorite but i could deal with it

[@oldguy9078]

I really like this camper Josh, but if it were mine I would go with the darker interior the white looks like a stain attractor, unless it is stain free material. By the way your design nails it !!!!

[@dianedenham5259]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of light coloured seating either, I prefer taupe. Actually I prefer a more monochrome colour scheme, not too contrasty. But I do love the layout!! ♥️

[@janicew8159]

I wondered about stains also.

[@johnbeeck2540]

Home Run! This is an amazing floor plan Josh! Suggestions to tweak - no rear window in kitchen need for coffee station or appliances; backsplash on side by stovetop; add a hanger rod in the front pantry storage unit; need more accessible belly protection; eliminate floor vents; enhance the solar - min 200watt panel. Great storage throughout - comfortable bathroom - love the hamper feature. LED lighting in the front storage is a winner. This one has great potential for couples!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thx for the visit and ideas John!!

[@tomstone8976]

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. Nice!

[@dianegoellner2167]

Love the new layout. Personally not a fan of the darker cabinetry or a front window as I prefer a darker bedroom. Would love to see the bedside storage cutout on each side of the bed for phone and cpap charging. Plus I feel like it helps in not making space feel so enclosed. Great job on video. I always appreciate your comments and explanations on all campers. Thanks!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I really like the idea of those bedside cutouts for storage pockets. I've actually seen several people add things like that in freedom expresses we've taken in on trade and always thought it was smart

[@rsmartin68]

Having been inside this very camper, I can 100% tell you Josh is spot on. It.Is.Awesome!! To be fair, the only thing I didn't like is the windshield in the bedroom which seems to be a trend with other brands as well .

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks for sharing Richard!

[@dianedenham5259]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the windshield over the head of the bed either, seems unnecessary. I would put in cubbyholes in the closets by the head, tho. I'd have a flat basket in there for reading glasses, book, cell phone, earrings (I always forget until I lay down 🙄) But I do like the true queen bed, I don't like king-size beds, for a variety of reasons.

[@stevez340]

Awesome floorplan with theater seating, a TV, a true queen bed, a porcelain toilet, a ladder and a solar package, many standard features that so many other manufacturers still fail to provide👍👍👍Now, if they could only figure out a way to eliminate the dreaded 2 sewer hookup☹️

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Dual sewer is one of those annoying necessary evils when you have big holding tanks on both sides of the axles like that sadly

[@mikedacquisto1406]

Thanks Sooo much "Uncle Josh", We saw the very short intro video you did a couple weeks ago on this and have been eagerly awaiting this one. Wow ! What an awesome camper, my wife absolutely loves it!! I'm happy to hear more windows on the camp side but I agree with Mike Mcintyre, the awning should go further forward. I see us owning one in the VERY near future. Thank you for all the great content Sir Josh!!

[@YuccaBuilt]

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.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Windows are definitely a give and take. They LOOK cool but they’re a huge thermal hole in the wall and I don’t think enough people realize that

[@roannathephoenix8561]

I think I'm in love. The only thing I'd change is make that a 12vlt outside fridge and that would take care of the snack part of the snack, nap,& crap situation. I wish thee links were fixed because I'd really like to know a price & some more specs. Good job Josh and I'll wait for the bigger and more windows on the campside version.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Here you go bit.ly/3GtWeIj The link-fixing is underway

[@satajet883]

Running two 12v refrigerators will wipe out your battery’s before the next morning if you are parked for the night with no hook ups. And forget about running the furnace. Just keep some frozen water bottles in the outside fridge and it stays cold for a long time.

[@roannathephoenix8561]

@@satajet883 Great advice.

[@yankeesusa1]

@@satajet883 with the solar panels like the Flagstaff comes with, it will keep it charged on sunny days.

[@carolgarner8081]

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.

[@rainbowdreamsrv7973]

Would love this in what you describe as the 2.0. With a longer awning. With 30amp....both vents with maxxl fans and vent covers. With 3 x 175 solar panels.

[@rainbowdreamsrv7973]

Also, would like more cargo weight capability in the gvwr.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

All of that should be pretty straight forward actually! Our parts & service teams could assist with those upfits and have it done before you took her home!

[@judithmoore7892]

Very nice. The window addition in the kitchen will really help. I hope that a sofa is an option, and also would like to be able to replace the booth with a table and chairs. That tilt out hamper is a great upgrade. I am a little concerned about how comfortable the sink is to use at the odd angle, with having to reach over a lot of counter to wash dishes. It may be fine, but I would have to check that out.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Table/Chairs should be a very straightforward factory swaption. They offer that on other models currently Alpha Wolf actually does it standard as seen here! bit.ly/3ypd082

[@judithmoore7892]

Thank you, yes that looks much better to me.

[@loriharader2421]

Love so much about this: counter space, fireplace, behind tv storage, double cabinet access with hamper (like waste baskets, dirty laundry needs a place), and bed design- drawers, lift, storage space= Win! Win! Win!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Wow.. TY Lori :)

[@kmf07302]

I really like how the dinette benches have "legs" and it's elevated a bit off the floor... looks lighter. The bed system/storage is great and as a "kitty" camper is a great spot for the box. I like the cloud decor...two adults/no kids. This rig is a bit longer than we prefer but it's a great layout and well thought out.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That cloud decor looked amazing to me. I didn't expect to like it that much

[@astrodb4487]

I like it. Love that the slide floor matches the regular floor. BTW bad link for the trailer. Wiring on tongue is a bit sloppy. I like it. Any weather package? 2 season, 3 season, extended season...?

[@tedcharp]

Awesome Josh. Love everything about her. I would get it with 2 AC because here in Louisiana it get hot. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I could see that for sure

[@jetdriver]

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.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I'm agreeing with your add-ons. I have a follow up call with their brand manager scheduled. Definitely going over your post here. TY sir

[@jetdriver]

@@JoshtheRVNerd something I forgot. This should be 50A standard and if not I’d always order it with the 50A option. Even with only one AC there are more than enough electric draws on this trailer to overwhelm a 30A circuit.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@jetdriver 50a currently optional but thankfully available It is incredible how our modern vehicles and RVs are consuming so much power now vs years ago

[@christinepotter7117]

Love it. Agree, no shelf in kitchen cabinet next to sink so it can accommodate a trash can. Please make it with a single basin sink. You can always add a tub, but hard to clean instapot and crockpot in split sinks. No wine rack or drawers when you first walk in, that's a perfect spot for shoe cubbies. The pantry/coat closet next to it is perfect. Please, please, please add washer/dryer prep in bedroom closet. Love the bed set up/storage. No need for king bed. Don't need or want the front window. Too much light, cold, and worry about it chipping. Love the solar. Want 27 panels and a 6000w inverter... 😳😉😁 Overall, awesome trailer❣

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thx Christine! Appreciate the visit and the input!

[@waynebiroth5275]

Just like any other trailer specially in the kitchen MORE OUTLETS PLEASE

[@nmenme4446]

One more thought...in the bedroom can they add just a free floating air conditioner not duct-ed to the rest that is small and only for the bedroom? It would save on power and most people are only in there at night. King size bed option with one less side hanging closet and stand and add a hanging rod in the closet that goes into the bathroom. With that said....when I finally retire...this is the unit I want with a simple queen size bed. In fact, a twin would work for me as well. LOVE the design and storage on this!!!!

[@janmoline]

I live in the Mojave Desert and camp in both the Mojave and Sonoran deserts, 50 Amp, 2 ACs for me! Max or Fantastic fans bathroom and close to kitchen in addition to stove vent fan. Window insulator insert (like the ones made for vent fans) for the cap window above the bed, cold air coming down on my head while sleeping is an instant sinus infection. 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 back storage looks tall, I'd love to see flip down shelves of staggered width, that would help organize but could be flipped out of the way if someone wanted to store skis, kayak, Trax, whatever that could fit up inside.

[@01AceAlpha]

I love the long tall windows in the bedroom.

[@travisrosgen542]

Josh. I think this might be my favorite trailer so far for 2022. It nails everything that I want. Length ✅, storage ✅, true queen bed✅. I don’t really think you ever need a king size bed unless you’re in a nice fifth wheel. The color I’d prefer the dark cushions with light trim. The kitchens are spot on!!! Oh boy oh boy.

Hi Josh the only thing I would change is the placement of the outside sink. I would move it to the other side so I could utilize that space for food prep like chopping and dropping of vegetables. I would also relocate the solar panel away from that vent for better sun harvesting also possibly putting it on a hinge so you can tilt it up other than that it is a very nice trailer. Thanks and love the shows

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thx Tim!! Appreciate the visit and the notes

[@JDHood]

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.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

2.0 will just be everything you see here enhanced and improved. No worries there. the "Shape" of stuff won't change!

[@tremjar1305]

love it, great floorplan, i would always do 2 a/c, even though hate losing the fan skylight to do 2nd ones, those are just as nice to have, in the south west, nevada az and such, a/c is a must but the the skylight fan is nicer at night... also summer in most of the country you would want 2 a/c at some point, maybe even more so than in the desert since higher humidity in some of them.

[@richardcanfield2741]

I’ll buy this, absolutely! It has an outside kitchen, no need to move the slide. Love the clothes hamper. Cushions on the benches under the bed. Def a winter pkg. Couple towel bars or hooks in the bathroom, but great storage everywhere. It’s really great.

[@stevevetter8045]

Also forgot to add you’ve got the room add a bigger awning and 15k AC and 50amp with 2nd AC capable.

[@timalmich1964]

I would like to see drawers under the dinette. And a permanent dining table. I am good with a queen bed. Would like the spare tire on the back easier to take off. This is a very nice floor plan. You did a great job.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thx Tim!!

[@gemchick82]

Oh my amazing job. Crazy idea for the new storage under the pantry in the slide - what about option to switch solid door for screened door to hold an onboard generator.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Interesting thought. Onboard gens need a little more room than just swapping out that door but I get what you're saying

[@bobk.1428]

And it comes with a magically opening rear door!!!

This is a great option for those that don't need a huge 5th wheel but still want some comfort and convenience . great design just needs those few additions to be a really complete pkg for me.

[@pattigrigsby9762]

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.

AIR CONDITIONING: In Northwest Florida! I like any AC as long as there are NOT floor vents! I would be the one in the middle of the night losing a toe or getting dirt or liquid in the vents! This IS Our DREAM Camper! Storage, table tops, head space, walk around true queen and Under 30ft!!! It's like they saw my specs and MADE it!!!!! Side note..."Storm" decor for Shore 😉

[@PiranaTX]

This one is actually pretty cool floor plan... definitely I would add self leveling jacks.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY! It's not EARTH SHATTERINGLY ORIGINAL or anything. Just a nice little modern update to a classic design

[@lauraallender3903]

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!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Right! As good as it is the production version will be so much better

[@cameoellis1363]

Great camper! The only thing we’d like to see is more space along the side of the mattress. My husband swings his arms around and he would be banging them on the cabinet. I excited for the extra windows and pop up plugs!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ty for sharing! It’s all good to know!

[@rmm3150]

Very nice storage. There's something awkward though about the standing space in the kitchen - cut out doest seem wide enough and the jut out in front of the sink makes it seem as though you'll have to lean over to do the dishes. Love the theater seating.

[@jasonwheat5242]

Great camper! It checks all boxes on my list. Maybe put countertop with top and bottom cabinets all the way across where the 3rd pantry is. It would make a great coffe, liquor bar. Oh and two A/C's. It get hot in south Mississippi, and Florida! 😆

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Interesting idea, TY! Jason! Alpha Wolf makes a similar layout you can see here bit.ly/3ypd082 Which do you prefer & why?

[@neilflorida921]

Very good layout. Would prefer aluminum frame dinette and roller shades. I think it would be awesome to shrink that front wardrobe and make the shower a 42x36. Just my personal preference. Over all a very nice rig.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thx Neil

[@musketeermefranks9335]

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?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

The floor vents are a bit of a surprise to me on this and might be just a symptom of this being a prototype. NORMALLY freedom express doesn't use them

[@tomdodge5198]

Rear receiver hitch is a nice option to add.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Those are nice but I learned require a significant bulking of chassis. It actually adds a chunk of weight and cost as a result. I always just kinda thought it would be just easy to add a hitch but the gusseting is a bit more involved Solid suggestion though. Ty

[@vandersnickmcduffle7333]

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.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

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.

[@_GntlStone_]

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.

[@kellyrucker2418]

[@AliceDillon1963]

Love this camper but agree with others that the darker furniture would be better. I also wish they would put shelves in the kitchen overhead cabinets.

Love the floor plan, we would probably go with 50A and single 15k AC. The only thing we would change is the cargo capacity, would like to see something a little closer to 2,000 lbs. Maybe they could offer an axle and tire upgrade option.

You nailed it!!!! I love this floor plan. This is perfect.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@michalenestabler1327]

Defiantly 50amp with the option of a 2nd air. I’d like to see adjustable shelves in the upper cabinets in the kitchen. Queen bed is perfect, I’d rather have the area to walk around the bed and easier to make. Maybe a small cut out next to the bed cabinet for cpap or water. I’d like the option of lighter colored cabinets and darker color furniture covering. ❤️ this one!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Awesome!! 🙏🏻

[@stevenelson8560]

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.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I actually wondered about an office desk setup on that dinette space. Cool to see someone else mention it

Again, so very well done! ❤️'s Kitchen counter space, 12V fridge, theater seats, residential queen bed, all that storage Suggestions: 1. Add adjustable shelf next to sink cabinet for trash can or grab a sledgehammer. 2. Change to pullouts or drawers on storage under dinette and bun burner for easier access. 3. Add adjustable shelves in the left cabinet bath vanity for more useful storage. 4. I don't need a king bed but understand many will.
