Oh, myyyyyy! This! This right here! Reasonably light weight. No slide. No bunks. Dry bath. Dedicated bed plus dine-ofa. Stable Steps (YES!!!). Looks pretty much perfect as far as what I've been looking for as a (potential) single traveler who needs just the basics, not the fancy-schmancy glampy stuff. Thanks again for the straight-forward transparency in your reviews, Uncle Josh! 🤗

I love this for quick overnight trips! A small, light camper you can actually stand up in! If it were up to me, though, I definitely would've just gone without the awning, gone with flip down steps (we ain't tryin to be fancy here 😂), & gotten rid of the outdoor speaker. I just see outdoor speakers as a down-the-road problem & it's really just overkill on something this size.

First thought: If I were solo camping I’d prefer a Murphy bed with a couch to the “love seat” and corner bed, even if it was only full-sized. Doesn’t seem like there’d be enough room, with the location of the fridge. I like the hinge-top storage by the head…foot (?!) of the bed, though if I could I’d turn that into a “laundry chute” and keep a hamper under it, in the storage bay. Nice tidy little space; if they could figure a way to put some storage more rearward, to keep weight off the tongue and the back of the truck (thinking strictly of a mid-sized truck with a lower axle rating). The stable steps are a nice touch, even if they’re a bit heavier and more expensive. All in all, pretty nice.

Also a power hitch, larger propane tank, i'd get the most solar that would fit on the roof and some plug in panels as well. I have a counter size oven so it will go in that upper cubby, the electric can opener, the coffee pot, and my toaster. Id still get a full Queen and pop one end on top of the end cabnit, supposed to sleep with my head elevated anyway. Thanks for showing this tiny baby, l also love it's not a wet bath!

Josh, "sweating like a pig" comes from the iron smelting process and refers to pig iron, an intermediate product in the iron industry. During the process, hot iron is poured on sand and cools and resembles a sow and piglets. I always wonder where sayings come from. Thank goodness for Google. Lol

Space is at a premium here... which is important for the lower GVWR rated tow vehicles. The fold down steps seems to be sturdier. Awning okay but lose the speaker. 1) lose the mini couch/foldout bed. 2) put the fridge next to the range. 3) bump out the bathroom wall a few inches to allow a bigger shower with an actual shower door of some kind. 4) turn the bed into either a murphy bed or a two-person dinette that folds down and allows the queen bed to fold down on top of it giving you a north-south configuration which allows access from both sides.

It's cute and all, it does what it's supposed to do, but if I'm going to go to the effort to tow something bigger than a teardrop, I'd likely go with something a little more bigger than a teardrop. In my opinion, the 110v fridge instead of a 12v is an absolute fail especially since they offer a solar package; with solar you could, what, run your lights all day long? Thanks for the tour, Uncle Josh!

I would add some sort of an acrylic splash guard by the stove. I don't think fancy steps are needed at this price point. I really appreciate them using the 4000lb axel for safety. Since the fridge looks like a dorm size, I would swap it out for one with a freezer & change the mattress to a full size as it seems squished into the sofa. It isn't perfect but great at this price & weight.

I just saw one of these at a local RV show and while I like the size and this floor plan of the three for a solo traveler, some decisions are perplexing. I don’t understand why the refrigerator doesn’t have a freezer and why it’s 110v only. The trailer gets 12v from the tow vehicle and presumably it has its own battery. It’s stupid not to put in a 12v fridge and freezer and a solar panel on the roof. I don’t need space for a tv, so putting a freezer on the fridge would sell it for me. I also don’t need a stereo with outside speakers. I have a portable speaker. I could carry it from inside to outside. I like the size of the tanks. I’m not sure why it is heavier than my old 18 foot trailer (which has double axles).

Question about gross weight ratings. So if I have an RV (non-toy hauler) with a dry weight of 3200lbs and a GWVR of 6000lbs. Can I tow it with my vehicle that is capable up to 5000lbs? What I'm getting at here is that even though it has a cargo capacity of 2800lbs, I'm never going to load it up that much. I'm not even sure it's possible to load it up that much. I'm shopping for a new vehicle, and trying to keep in mind tow ratings along with the GWRV/CCC of some RVs I like. However, sometimes I find an amazing sub 25' RV layout, right in my wheel house, but with a crazy GWRV/CCC that *technically* exceeds the tow capacity of the vehicles I'm considering. However, in real world use, I'd never even come close to using that much CCC. Maybe I'm just a really oddball potential buyer?

Love the sofa instead of a dinette👍👍but that beyond entry level bathroom with a plastic toilet, shower curtain, no shower surround panel, and no sink which means everyone has to wash their hands, brush their teeth and shave in the kitchen sink was disappointing☹️

I'm looking for a unicorn, Josh. Short light toy hauler with patio and Happijac. I'd love to see a trailer where the sole bed is a happyjac. Needs a bathroom. Any idea if these exist?

110-120v fridge is way more efficient uses less watts and cost effective only runs 8hrs or less over 24hr period much better compressor compared to 12v. (1) 300-400watt solar panel + inverter to get you 120v 60hz+ battery 12v refrigerator runs 24/7 uses more watts cost more too. This is a nice couples lightweight, true camper. Park and go on adventures come back and shower/cook/ sleep then go on the next adventure. Your tow vehicle probably wouldn’t even go down 1 mile per gallon towing this. Design flaw the sink is where the stove top should be, then they should’ve moved the sink slightly over from the stove top. And have where the stove is at now as your counterspace. Always want your stove top /oven next to a window with a proper hood ventilation going outside away from any furniture or anything that could catch fire when you’re cooking… engineering seems to be going backwards because I can look back at older models 1980’s-2000’s and they had a much better thought out kitchen plan.

I was interested until I saw the rear setup. That sewer line assembly is asking for trouble. Far too low and the gate assembly is directly in the line of fire from every bit of road debris from the tire. It doesn't look like you could even add mud flaps with so little tire clearance.

Google says it has to do with iron, and pig iron reaching dew point…or sweating.

The term is actually derived from the iron smelting process in which hot iron poured on sand cools and solidifies with the pieces resembling a sow and piglets

I wish 12 volt fridge was a option for longer trips - otherwise you can't get food to stay fresh long enough before needing to plug in. Sweating like a pig is derived from the iron smelting process. As it cooled it looked like sows and piglets - air surrounding the molds reached dew point drawing out moisture.
