[@ira4636II]

Great review - thank you. Also love that this woman knows her stuff!! ;) Also like that she gives pros/cons for various items throughout the video.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad you liked it. Buying an RV is all about give and take, pros and cons. Thanks for watching.

Great review. The 2509s is one of my favorite trailers because it really packs a lot into that 25' length and offers a murphy bed that looks nice and doesn't fold the mattress when you put it away. Just wish the windows were larger and let in more light as it is a dark trailer compared to many others. FYI for anyone who may be wondering, the access by the dinette and below the pantry closet is for the water filter and the selector valve to switch between fresh tank and antifreeze pipe, the one by the entry door is for the hot water heater winterizing valves.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Great thanks for sharing the info. We really liked this one too. We kinda have a thing for the Murphy beds ;) We wish all windows in Travel Trailers were bigger (exception the amazingly wonderful 5th wheels) you can never have enough light and the ability to see the great outdoors. Thanks for watching.

Good video, it doesn’t look like she’s a big fan of this trailer. At least she’s honest.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad you liked it. We are always honest and there is no perfect RV. It's all about pros an cons and what each person's personal priorities and needs are. Having said that you should watch again to see how many times I say 'I love that' cause we really did like this trailer a lot. Just because we identify the parts that don't really work for us or we would like different does not mean we don't like a rig. We are pretty big fans of this one. Hope that clarifies things for you. Is this the one for you? Thanks for watching

Another well done video Kory & Denise. Hope you are doing well. 🌺

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad you liked it. We are doing well, making the best of things here in Beautiful BC. Hope you are doing well too.

Love your videos!! A suggestion would be to do a scan or panoramic view of the layout so we can get a visual of the room from an end. Also a snap of the floor plans could be nice on the videos. But I really like your knowledge and commentary on your videos. We just purchased a Rockwood 2706 one week ago. Your video that demonstrated how ROCKWOOD’s and flagstaffs are built was extremely helpful. Good work and keep it up!

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad you like them, we appreciate your time and thoughts. We will see what we can do about adding the floorplan drawing that goes with it at the beginning and we can add time stamps in the video description so that folks can go right to the section they want to see which is currently divided and shown by black title sections to help when people are scrolling through. So cool that the construction video was helpful for you. Have you taken your's out yet? We'd love to hear how you like it. Have fun.

[@mariaperham6382]

Keep up the great videos ☺️👍🏻

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad you like them. Thanks for watching.

#1, Always love you and Cory's videos! But let's see if anyone else agrees with me on how we watch your's or anyone else's video's on any trailer there thinking of buying. For me I find the walk around outside boring and skip right to the inside part where in my opinion most people would decide if the unit is going to work for them or not. Then I look at the price, if that all works out then I'll go back and look at the outside. In other words, for me I'd like to see the inside, before the outside. I'll be interested to hear if other people agree with me.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad you like our reviews, and we know there are some folks that want to see the inside first and others that want the outside first. We find the flow is much better doing outside than inside. We will try to add a floor plan drawing and we will start to time stamp the sections in the video description so that in one click you can be at whatever section you want. We do put the black title clips in places to help folks that are scrolling so hopefully the time stamping will help you even more. Thanks for your feedback.

We ordered this trailer with the lighter ash interior and like that better than this dark color. They have a nicer kitchen faucet as an option that we got. The LED lights are super bright also.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Oh Congrats to you. That is very exciting. Glad you got the one you prefer. When does it come in?

[@wb5mgr]

@@DoesSizeMatter spent our first weekend camping in it this past weekend.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

@@wb5mgr Oh you already have it, that's even better. I thought you were saying you had just ordered it. So how did it go?

[@stuwardw]

I'm ok with leaving 2020, it has been rough. Great review, thank you

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We are so with you on that. 2020 has been a very tough year so far. Let's wrap up this last 3rd of it and getting on to better things. Thanks for watching

[@phylliswark4968]

Wow, that really is a high microwave. Mine is a bit high in my trailer too. I use as a breadbox, if the contents fall on my head it doesn't hurt 😂. Not sure about the Murphy Bed. Lots of storage in that unit. The wood around the edge of the table is good. In past trailer I have had the laminate separate on the edges. Good video as always.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad you liked it. Good idea for the bread box haha. We like the Murphy Bed ourselves and we had the wood edge on laminate counter in a house we once had and it stood up very well. I liked it to. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.

[@MrBklein31]

Great Video and solid information. I am also concerned about the height of the microwave. For a height reference, how tall are you? Can you order this without the outside kitchen? I would rather have an outdoor access to the storage under the bunk. I wish the would add a vacuumed for sweeping the floor.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad you like it. I am 5' tall and we would think you could special order without the outdoor kitchen to get the extra storage space but we aren't sure about that and we love the idea of adding a vacuum. Kory loves vacuuming haha. Thanks for watching.

[@lifeloveandliberty2092]

I am 5'6" tall and my wife is 5'2" tall. I have seen many reviews on this unit but you were the first to show me that there may be a problem with our size and the ease-of-use available to us. We are also both senior citizens...your thoughts?

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Our main thoughts are that every RV has it's features and challenges and which one is the right one for you really depends more on your priorities than your size or age. In any RV it's a give and take. For example, in this one you may have to climb up on the couch to get the Murphy bed down and if you're not into that then you should probably get an RV with a made up bed but that will probably mean having to give up space. Or if that couch is super important to you then you may have to look for a different floor plan or a bigger trailer. Sit down make a list and pick your priorities, simplicity, comfort, size, etc... and then you can decide what you are willing to compromise on. It's important to know what it takes to use the versatile spaces when you are looking at different RVs so that you can ask yourself am I really going to do that? or be ok doing that everyday? or maybe it is a feature you will only have to do once in awhile that would change it's effect on you. Each of us has different things we are willing to compromise on and you have to figure out what that is for you. Hope that helps some. Thanks for watching.

[@summerwind1504]

Can the bathroom be accessed with the slide in?

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We explain how it looks with the slide in, in that section of the video which you can access through the time stamps. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching

[@jenreadinger2358]

Turn the table on its side and you can still access the bathroom, bunks, kitchen, etc.

[@josephrobichaud5198]

It would be great if some how when your reviewing any trailers with slide outs if you could slide it in instead of having to guess what you can get to with the slider in. This would be a huge deciding factor when buying in my opinion. I know some friends of mine just bought a Jayco RV with a slider and the main they bought it was because with the slider in they still had access to everything.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We feel the same way about slides. Because of our travel style we do lots of 1 night stop overs and we need the access with slides in to. Unfortunately, when we are reviewing RVs they are not hooked up to power and most often don't have the batteries on them so we don't have the power needed to move the slides in and out so that we can show the difference. If ever an opportunity comes up that we have the power and the dealership is ok with it we will film it for you. It's an important detail. We do invite owner's to share their knowledge and experience with us in the comments and on the other similar Rockwood Mini Lite with a similar floor plan but no bunks an owner did tell us that the slide came to exactly where we thought it did. Hope that helps if you are looking at this one. Thanks for watching.

[@disalvofamily231]

Is that the bottom of your couch and matress exposed to the basement storage ?? Thats pretty crappy to say the least.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Under the couch is the same space as the pass thru storage yes, which is very common whether that be a couch, bed, kitchen cabinet etc... from most manufacturers but no the bed frame and mattress are on a platform that sits on top of the couch cushions and is not exposed to the storage area. If you watch the video again you will see how the bed comes down to show all of this. If you are looking for something where the storage is completely closed off you will probably have better luck looking at trailers without pass through storage but 2 separate compartments or a much larger heavy class of RV. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
