I thought you might like this, Myles! My dad bought one in 2021, but for various reasons, I haven't even seen the inside yet! But he loves it, and it is easy to tow! He really likes his toys, so I was a little surprised he didn't get a motorhome, but he already had the truck, so I suppose this was more affordable for him. He is 6'2" as well and is pretty particular about his purchases. I like the calming blue light but the cooler lighting might be a little bright for me. (My eyes are pretty sensitive to light.) For some reason I think it looks cozier with the bed down, but nice that this has an option of the pullout sofa chairs. Really not sure about the fabric they are starting to use more. I tend to like the pleather, and with dogs, I have just gotten used to sitting on blankets. 😄 It is just so much easier to keep clean and fresh, I think. And it doesn't trap dust bunnies. Anyway, I'm glad you showed this new camper! 👍🙂👍

[@edkendall3932]

I love this camper! The only change I would like to see to make it perfect is to go to a 2 burner stove and then a bigger sink.

[@kenmcclow8963]

This is pretty nice. I agree with other people that prefer less burners on the stove and a larger sink. I really like the flat uninterrupted underside and the lights in the wheel wells as good deterrence for mice

[@scentsiblesandi5913]

Really nice. I agree, a 2-burner front to back stovetop and a flip-up counter extender by the sink is really needed. You NEED counter space to prep food!!!

[@joeangel2650]

Love this model looks amazing ! Love your energy positive personality and I have been binge watching your videos you do amazing tours ⭐️

[@pattyshobbyworld2851]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SuperDave1426]

Hey, Myles, two comments for you: First, TV trays have been around since at least the 1960's (if not the 50's). 😉 And on the subject of the USB connector types, you can get USB charging cables that are USB-C on one end and USB-A on the other, so that you can still charge your USB-C device with an older connector style. They aren't expensive at all, and I've got a couple of them, myself, for just such occasions. 👍‍ Just so you know. Great review, as always!

[@tag_76]

Hey Myles, really like your reviews but I became a subscriber when I visited your Firmly Unbound site and learned about your faith. Great stuff!

[@PremiumK9Krunchies]

Thats nice. Love the lights. And "wheel" was a correct term for the rim as well. Great video!!!

[@tinak8081]

I just call my local Blue Compass and they didn't know about this RV so I sent them the link and they are helping us aquire this RV!!! So excited!

[@mylesrv]

@@tinak8081 awesome! Enjoy it!

[@ourvlife1]

If you like this check out the Salem/Wildwood 167RBK. Larger rear bath with window, larger 12v fridge, better TV viewing, more kitchen counter space with expansive window.

[@KimiK-w4y]

I like this one. I think it's really cool looking outside, and be good for you to pull this one with you on your travels. It's way better than trying the B& B thingee that left you stranded in Indiana. There's so many to choose from so I can understand why you haven't picked one yet. Be sure and post a video when you do, so we can see your new home, away from home! 😊

[@DressyBessie]

I can't wait to see what he buys! I would think soon so he can have more adventures on the other channel! Wonder if he will ask for our thoughts when he narrows it down and tries to decide. I think he will!

[@GrannyGirl67TV]

You have the BEST RV reviews! Thank you!

[@linkfloyd4908]

This is my favorite TT, want to buy it for my wife and I but still have kids. 😂

[@JayDeeDubb]

Buy two and they can have their own. 😂

[@charlesklaus6290]

Thanks for the review! I really like this unit! What suspension does it have? A few changes I would make...flip up counter extension beside the sink. 2 burner stove top for more counter space. Cut the corner of the bathroom sink next to the toilet. Great tank capacities! Needs another 500 lbs of CCC. Myles is there any solar or at least solar prep? THANKS!

[@charlesklaus6290]

Wait! I see solar panel now!

[@annettealvey5297]

on the murphy bed they need to round the corners as that is a knee killer.

[@davebusch4397]

Well done sir!!!!!

[@Mikey23806]

Nice trailer! I'd like to see a recliner option in place of the dinette.

[@karenr67]

Nice features.

[@evabyrum3327]

A lot of people either have kids or dogs. Cloth seats are not easy to clean. Also, if you sit at a campfire you will have campfire smoke in your clothes. I would not want to sit on cloth seats until I changed my clothes. However, to each his own.... Make it a choice.

[@darylc6669]

Agreed, cloth is a terrible for a camper. Your going to be at the lake or in the woods, cloth isn't easily cleaned.

[@sandymichalik1583]

Oh That was another. It does have the Dexter Torsion axle. That was big for me. Aaaaaand I own this 2025 and the TPS monitor is a bit finnicky

[@LeonaRasalas]

I like to cook and can’t live without an oven. I know it’s camping and I need to learn how to “bake” on a campfire, but that isn’t easy. If I’m going to get a camper like this one, I would be looking for one with an oven. Great video. 🤗♌️

[@kenoday7562]

2 words AIR FRYER. I can't imagine going to New Jersey and having to reheat pizza in a microwave. DISgusting. Almost as criminal as dunking pizza in ranch dressing ....

[@ringonzar]

Nice

[@KE0ZCO]

Dang it! I think you just cost me a bunch of money sir! Great video By the way.

[@mickeycseki649]

Looks so cool.... is there any 19 feet version of this with a double axle ???

[@user-mu4gz4pd6q]

Would like to see a video of the Jayco Jay Feather Micro 183FBS. I believe it's a new model for 2025.

[@corderajones]

I prefer the oven bc pizza in the middle of nowhere Texas is the best

[@kenoday7562]

It's a wheel. The "rim" is the part of the wheel the tire bead sits against. All Terrain tires run hotter than highway tires. Will your dealership swap them out?

[@mylesrv]

Yes, they can swap out tires if you’d like them to.

[@AJDoll]

so many things still using usb type a. my flashlights. head lamp, drone, a fan. a bug zapper. rechargeble hand warmer heated gloves. All things in the RV

[@leahvalenzuela9779]

Myles what do you think about Salem view? Is it safe? Quality?

[@Dabbins82]

this one is very nice. No prices yet on these 2025s?

[@lazyxmexican91]

One Day I'll make enough money to own one lol

[@714racer]

Curious how this trailer tows being single axle and 5,000 pounds loaded. Anyone with this trailer have some feedback on this? Looks like they are using LT - E rated tires that run at 80psi, does it ride harsh?

[@ourvlife1]

Hey, what happened to the bathroom window?? Too bad they removed it for 2025. I hope they bring it back.

[@moisessilva2343]

Do you know of any Travel Trailers with a dry bath and NO bunks that is towable by a Subaru Outback Max Towing is 2700lbs.

[@sandymichalik1583]

Hey They r 30lb tanks. I would rather the tire on the back. I would rather the table than the TV trays.

[@daleytab8766]

Needs one slide

[@douglaskirk3036]

The whole cloth thing kills it for me.....The whole reason for the Pleather was that you are CAMPING, which means... in the wild getting dirty and grubby. Ask any fisherman or hunter that cloth is gonna get stained and worse still its gonna hold smells. Dang it.

[@ChicGeek222]

This is a nice camper, but I'm not a fan of cloth furniture in small space because cloth holds odor (I guess you can keep Frebreeze on hand for that... however, it stains, tears, and fades. With "pleather" you can always put a something over it if you're someone who sticks to it.... just my 2 cents. 😊😊

[@brandonkunkle3860]

Deal breaker... They got rid of the window on the bathroom. Why.

[@hyo2002]

트레일러를 생각할때마다 넓었으면 좋겠다는 생각과 손쉽게 이동하도록 사이즈가 작으면 좋겠다는 반대되는 생각에 부딪힌다. 큰 트레일러나 작은트레일러나 각각의 장단점이 있겠지만...이렇게 트레일러가 작으면서도 침대를 접어 공간활용을 할수있는 모델이라면 더욱좋다. 여기에 확장가능한 면이 있다면 더 좋을것이다. 그리고 창가의 소파는 단순히 차를 마시거나 식사의 테이블이 아닌 두대이상의 모니터를 놓고 컴퓨터작업가능한 공간이면 더 좋을것이다. 단순히 트레일러의 좌 우측 한쪽면만을 바라보는것보다 양쪽으로 등받이를 전환하여 방향전환이 된다면 더욱좋을것이다. 하나의 고정된 디자인보다 여러가지 변화를 줄수있는 다양한 기능이 필요하다.

[@MarcBourcier]

There are more devices out there other than iPhones

[@kyledukes49]

not bad but I don't like it more than the grand design aim 14ms and its 3 feet shorter!

[@darylc6669]

Cloth is a bad choice imo. Your probably going to be at the lake or woods in something like this, and cloth doesnt clean easily.

[@davidbutcher1425]

Most cloth like this is a smooth, soft vinyl like material that does wipe clean easily.

[@TheCam130]

Bro why the small trailers they all are the same i could see if it had something different but these are the most common and boring floorplan

[@darylc6669]

Why not? These are excellent alternatives to a tent. Not everyone has a F450 or can afford a $75k 5th wheel.

[@TheCam130]

@darylc6669 Not what I meant, I mean show one that has something new or different. There's a million videos on these...

[@gregtroublemaker1862]

Stop with the USB rant, not all of us has apple's

[@DressyBessie]

😅 I thought in an earlier video he said they were all going wireless, so some of us need reminders. 😂They are USB-C which are good for fast charging adapters or laptop chargers. Got it, Myles! Thanks! Perfect👍Good for Android users too! No worries.😂

[@SuperDave1426]

Um, USB-C isn't exclusively an Apple thing. He mentioned that he's got one older Apple phone that still uses the older USB-A connector. Most newer portable electronic devices (like phones) are all using the USB-C connector style now. Also what he said there hardly constitutes a "rant." 😆

[@PremiumK9Krunchies]

Take a chill pill trouble maker

[@JohnDoe-fg2oq]

When you camp you get dirty. Dirty and cloth furniture dont mix. I had an 2006 with cloth and carpet. Ni that you.

[@voorheesron]

Nice
