This model is under 30' and no slides! Full queen mattress will fit. Interior colors are nice. Tandem axle. List is quite long as to why this is a favorite. Really a contender at this price point. Well done Jayco. Thanks for all the hard work Josh! Your vids are the best. Very thorough.

We had this exact model, but in a coleman. It's almost the perfect couple camper. The bathroom is a little tight. There's no getting around that if you're fluffy, it's not very friendly. But it was a great camper to do some off grid. You can get it into a lot of places.

Thanks Nerd! I would love to see Jayco make this model with two jack knife sofas in the back and a regular folding table that could have a clip up by the bed tv mount or something. Would make a really nice lounge/sleeper combo!

Great video Josh. I like the no slide option, but, I still want to see a front L shaped fold down couch with a little storage behind it for a table. The kitchen was fine. Moving on to the back, shower on one side, toilet and small sink on the other side would help that fluff factor and I'd just like to see a model with twin bunks in the back with great storage. I challenge any manufacturer to come up with my floor plan.

Every time you say lumbercore I imagine a heavy wood music band of all lumberjacks. If there isn't already one there oughta be! Like this camper a lot, don't see anything I don't like. The stove could be a two burner, extra counter space on both sides, and the oven could be in a box in another state forgotten in a corner, but that's just me. Would like if the back of the dinette seat next to the stove extended up a bit, but that's a logistic issue, unless a two burner stove is there to give a bit of room. Great find, good info as always! Thank snerd!

Nice weekend camper. Has some good living space for a rainy day. The kitchen is good. Like the storge. Like the oven a lot of Cheaper camper know has no oven know. The bathroom could be bigger. Wish it had black out Shad’s. The bed is good. The sofa in the back is my favorite way to do this floor plan. The new outside colors look good. Thank you.

@TanyaRando2 ай бұрын
I like that, despite being small, the kitchen has a decent size sink and stove top, where you don't feel pokey and cramped while prepping and cleaning up. I know there's very little counter space but I guess you could do the food prep using the dinette table, it's still a flat space. I think this type of camper is perfect for a tv mounted on the ceiling that flips down. If you don't want a tv on the wall in the bedroom you could get some lipped/netted shelves opposite the bed. Even on the side walls. I think they've done a great job with this camper for the size, although the toilet definitely does look a bit tight #nerdherd #rvnerdherd

We have a 2016 210. Love it. This one makes some welcome changes, but where's the Azdel? Sure would help if you mentioned that whenever it is used. The relocation/changes of the low point drains/fresh water tank drain are most welcome. The dinette in ours was removed and a two chair desk/eating table installed that looks out that great camp-side window. We would do it again. We may well buy a new one. Thanks, Josh.

I’m with you on the Azdel! But remember at this price point adding Azdel and enough batteries to run an electric stove and a few hours of AC use would add a lot to the price. This is a budget RV, and mostly intended for RV park use. 😊

Great video, Josh! I didn't hear anything about a bathroom fan, and can't really tell from roof shots if there is one. I think the tight toilet placement would be a drawback, as well as the tall tub sides, and lack of kitchen countertop space. Also, do you know why they're using the free-swinging exterior door that has to be latched to the trailer, and not the friction door that stays open on its own? Our 2025 175FQ has the same door that needs to be hooked, and we're curious as to the reason. By the way, we're loving the 175FQ (plenty of storage & counter space, and a great bathroom with a nice, roomy, easy-to-enter shower) and are really looking forward to a video on it! All the best from ON Canada!

That’s actually one of the things I don’t like about this RV. It does not have any bathroom fan. Just a vent. And while I can respect an RV, trying to maintain an aggressive budget for me personally that felt like one cut too much.
