I really like this Cougar travel trailer! I do agree with you on some things Uncle Josh, such as those sofa side windows, they really SHOULD open!!! I LOVE the kitchen sink, very awesome!! 👍🤗👍 The kitchen is extremely well laid out and very functional, NICE!! 🤗 Yes, I agree again with you Uncle Josh about the fireplace, Cougar NEEDS to make the fireplace larger and longer, remove those 2 side panels and extend that fireplace Cougar!! Oh yes!!! Keep the dinette and 4 chairs!! The ONLY way to go! Oh oh, that brings us to the bathroom, oh man Uncle Josh, there's no corner seat 😣!! Well, if Cougar WON'T put one in, I guess that I would have to do without, but, it is very important to have that corner seat! Okay, now for the bedroom, oh my!! First, there is no overhead window that opens, I do LOVE the side windows that does open, thank you Cougar for that!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Now, over to the question about storage or tv, tv is the answer and I do like your imagination about putting the tv up on the inside of the slide, very awesome my friend Uncle Josh!!! 👍🤗👍👏👏👏👏👏 You have done an EXCELLENT job showing this beautiful Cougar travel trailer, I can see us having fun here!!

Labeling something as half ton capable like this is just really sad. Almost no trucks are available with enough payload for it. It's not just Keystone - Grand Design and Rockwood are also particularly bad about it. Otherwise good brands, but they need to get their messaging in check for safety's sake.
@JoshtheRVNerd Жыл бұрын
You won't hear me argue with that first sentence. I've talked about it in previous videos. "Cougar Half Ton" is the name of the series and shouldn't be taken as a vehicle recommendation I know GD uses the "150" phrasing on some of their fifth wheels but when does Rockwood do anything like that? They use the word "Ultralite" on some of their models but I can't recall them really indicating a vehicle suggestion. But maybe I missed something?
@masonmcglothlin5101 Жыл бұрын
@@JoshtheRVNerd ah you are right about Rockwood - they don't indicate anything as half-ton. I was wrong - perhaps got my wires crossed. Though....I do find it ironic that the Mini Lite is smaller than the Ultra Lite. That's more of a quirk than anything that would lead to confusion on a safety issue. Keystone Cougar Half Ton and Grand Design Reflection 150 Series - those are the big offenders I'm aware of. Great trailers, bad names.
