Sneak Peek at OVER a DOZEN New 2025 Forest River RV Models & Updates!!

[@rondavis8477]

for me…no bunks, under 30 feet and around 7200 lbs is what I ‘d like to see… thanks Josh!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You bet!

[@mattwickwire-gs5et]

​@@JoshtheRVNerd is the Ibex 19rbm still around? I've barely seen anything on it lately

[@julihand5127]

Hi Nerd, I would like to explore the IBEX a little more for when I’m aged, (probably widowed or when he gets totally sick of me after 40 years and runs away), and (if he stays), a rear kitchen fifth wheel around 35’, KING bed, no dinette but a bar eating arrangement with windows. 1/2 bath would be nice - I’m loving the 2025 FR Impression 360MYR but too long for the hubby - anything close to that I’m down with!

[@bempey]

Yes, same here. And 7200 pounds is the tow limit of my Merc Mountaineer (Explorer's twin) with the (almost) 300 HP 4.6 V8. I specifically hunted down a 2WD, even though I'm in the Great White North, because 4WD tow limit is only 6800 pounds. My current MXT-20 has a GVWR of 7k.

[@andrewmartin5531]

Josh, I am specifically interested in couples campers (no bunks), under 7500 lbs and anything with a bar-top style dinette would be icing on the cake.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

👍🏻

[@michaelvanos1423]

​@JoshtheRVNerd ill 2nd that. I'm tall so I need that part as well.

[@andrewmartin5531]

@aann9190 Nice, but you better have a 3/4 or 1 ton to pull this one.

[@kimberlypfarr6040]

Thanks, Josh! So professionally done. Appreciate your work. Desk, no bunks, 1/2 towable.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Well Ty!!

[@janicecrockett1400]

I like Forest River. It would be nice if they went to the one piece molded shower, put water shut offs at the sinks, shower, and toilet. Access points that actually make it easy to do repairs and maintenance would be awesome.

[@GrumpyForester]

I say YES 👍 to a closer look at the Wildwood/Salem 161QK. I'm a no-bunks/no-slides/smaller-couples-model kinda guy looking at 20-ish or smaller length, and that model seems very intriguing!!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

👍🏻

[@journeyhome98]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the two tone…

[@wmschooley1234]

Josh Please add the following four trailers to your full review list Ozark 1660FQ .2300RBLE, 1610RBLE and the Wildwood FSX 233RBLE. And if you detect a slideless “theme” here, it’s not accidental. Respectfully, W.S.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Will do

[@td12]

Wow.. wow.. wow.. finally, some redesigned FLOOR plans THAT are NOT JUST RECOLORED. I'm impressed. I'm excited to see some more..

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Right?!

[@susanjspaulding]

*Heritage Glenn is FABULOUS* !! *The changes in the VIBE are wonderful* !! *Ibex is next level* !! *Longer videos on these three, please* !! #JoshTheRVNerdAtBishsRV 🇺🇸

[@LydiaS-q9u]

When you get a chance, please give us a video on the 2025 Freedom Express models. The 274RKS in particular. In general any models with open floor space in living, wrap around, or street side kitchen w plenty counter space, biig camp side windows that open. Road mode: clear access to bed & bath, and acceptable access to fridge. Thanks for all you do. We really appreciate your thoroughness & honesty in these vids.

[@davidl.39]

Personally I am interested in under 30ft fifth wheels for couples. I find them so much easier to back into tight campsites and or driveways. Add a king bed or at least a residential queen and just one slide in the kitchen living areas, I'd be sold

[@justorganizemylife]

Nice! Great to see the two-tone furniture in the Salem/Wildwood line is gone, FINALLY! I would love to see more of the Surveyors for sure. Thanks, Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

More to come!

[@janineaggott6741]

Oh boy, that last one was so beautiful. Loved the video Josh as usual you did such a great job.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks so much!

[@JennaEngelhard-z7o]

So many cool innovations! I love seeing anything half ton towable with a private bedroom - the smaller the better. Keep them coming, Nerd!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thank you! Will do!

[@marybourgeois8056]

JOSH.....BRAVO! This is EXACTLY what I needed to help me decide!!! I need something I can pull with my F150 Platinum Turbo.... THESE ARE GORGEOUS! My gut told me to hold out, glad I did.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Glad I could help!

[@bertkelly7650]

Love the wildwood/Salem 233RBLE, the 161QK and the Ozark 1660RB. Thanks Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You bet

[@JS1066]

I would like to see some of the smaller toy hauler floorplans. 175RTK and the like. Having flexibility to bring some non motorized toys makes camping more fun. Kayaks, bikes, paddleboards, etc.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

👍🏻

[@fredadam3262]

Thank you. Really looking forward to the Rockwood preview and would like to hear more about the destination "trailer" concept.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Did you mean this one? m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2Glq5ysebmkhaM

[@zackhayes1052]

Thanks nerd! 🙏 Appreciate the video and these quick walkthroughs. Though i think the way you went short to long in the Rockwood video made it even better

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Noted!

[@bridgetme07]

LOVE the two tone cabinets. Would really enjoy seeing more in depth reviews of the Salem/Wildwood 29VBUD and the Ozark 2890BHK. Thanks for what you do! Your videos are the best!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Noted!

[@deniseshaffer7162]

I love the two tone cabinets. Always enjoy your videos .

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Glad you like them!

[@tanyabrownparham2353]

Thanks Josh! I’d love to see more specs and details on the quality of rPods. We are looking to purchase our first RV (couples travel trailer;

[@kornhead37]

The NoBo 20.5 would be awesome Josh! Especially to cross shop with Ember

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

👍🏻

[@juliac406]

WOW!! Great kitchen in the first video. Going back to watching now...

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Hope you enjoy

[@donaldalloyd]

Thanks Josh! Some very innovative layouts. Keep up the great work!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks, will do!

[@martaleary5598]

Josh!!!! You rocked this one!!! So many new interesting things finally coming out I’m so excited for the RV Shows coming up!!! I can’t pick! I’m in awe 🫢 !!!!!!! Maybe the Surveyor bunch!! I don’t know!!! Is like walking into an Italian Bakery!!!! My eyes 👀 wander !!!!!!🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

lol I know!

[@Bandgazebo]

The color design in the Surveyor was really pretty - bright and open, while still being a color that won't show dirt

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Vs last year I think the new decor is on point

[@briankrone2631]

Thanks for the preview Uncle Josh 👍 my wife and I would like to see more couples campers with no bunks that are 3/4 to single axle 1 ton towable. As always looking for to all your videos. Sincerely 2 parts of the #NerdHerd

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks for the idea!

[@markmax]

That Wildwood Salem 233 RBLE looks very interesting: A no-slide couples camper. I would like to see a counter that could be used as a desk but the floating table might do the job. How about a full review on that one?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I’ll make it happen!

[@jamiev3641]

Yes...looking forward to this too

[@kimdoyle4831]

I like the 2 tone cabinets

[@10a3asd]

You and me both!

[@sonjabrownamericanwayreale435]

Love the new decor.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Which brand?

[@captaindanield5827]

Two tone looks fine.

[@limiwa]

The first one is gorgeous! Need a full walk through. We're looking for a family RV that can fit 3 kids and 2 adults 😊

[@rustydusty1111]

Under 30ft 5th wheel is where it's at!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

👍🏻

[@Erin-Thor]

I’m with you! I do wish they would make a short full profile 5W though. (Think uniform height but raised step up floors to both front and back, with lots of underfloor outside storage.) 😎

[@milehighed52801]

More on both the first and last ones. Thanks, Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You got it!

[@gailbrackeen]

2025 is looking good for campers. Liked all of them. Happy I haven't bought a new one yet. Keep up the good work, Josh.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks 👍

[@jenniferleigh5340]

I really liked the Wildwood 233RBLE. Would love to see a longer video on that one please.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Will do!

HEY, Thanks Nerd!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You bet

[@587G]

Josh, I'd like to see you review the Rockwood Signature 5th wheels, 371, 375. Maybe I need to come to Coldwater. I have a brand-new Rockwood Ultra Lite 2608BS we feel is too small for us. Got out of a Cougar Half ton 30RLS. We really like the quality of the Rockwood/ Rockstaff that you have been preaching for years. I will be looking to get into a 5th wheel perhaps at some of the RV shows. I'll probably have to sell the new 2608BS on my own so I don't take a really big hit on it. Plus I custom ordered it with just about every option except for the theromo windows. Thanks, as always, you're the best!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I’ll see what I can do!

[@4jeep1]

Love the new forest river vibe look. Been patiently waiting for a look at the 3400bh and or the 3400sb. 🙏

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You and me both!

[@gnun3548]

The Vibe is excellent! Like the updated version of the 2600RK!!! Looking forward to the full review!!!!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You and me both!

[@lauragough1174]

In general--dual axle, no slides, pantry, real closet space, under 30 feet, but up to 32 feet OK. Heritage Glen models interesting, FSX 233 promising. On another note: Matt has very nice things to say about you in his Hershey Brinkley video.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I hadn’t seen it. May have to take a look. Ty for Sharing We get along well he and I

[@teresas683]

Some good, some not my taste but lots of innovation for sure. Thanks Nerd!😂

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Fair enough!

[@cariann426]

We are looking to downsizing to a couples camper 25ft or less, north south bed set up. We are currently in a 33-foot, and with the kids grown, it's just more camper than we need!

[@user-qi7ki5wk9n]

Wow, nice to see some changes and we are looking for under 24 feet and under, no slides,, full bath (with sink) that can be used with 1/2 ton, are there any trailers - like the Ibex!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

there are some things out there like that for sure. Our local folks can help narrow down some opportunities for you.

[@julperkamoze9828]

Vibe have interesting things like a hide bedroom with a versa queen instead of bunks, it is 3400SB I guess

[@timhiggs9362]

More on the IBEX 20MRK and the OZARK 166ORB please! Thanks Josh! 😁

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

👍🏻

[@cherylphillips2037]

So fun-we are looking for a couples camper no bunk. Love a nice kitchen, barn doors and light with gray

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think we’ve got some things in our lineup that could fit that Bill. Our team is ready when you are.

[@MichelleLevasseur]

The Heritage Glen at the beginning - the 261FKRB - had "rooms" in the perfect proportions for me - I'd love to see a more indepth video on that one!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Roger Rockwood, surveyor also make similar models

[@jeffgerbing1230]

I’d love to see the Sabre 36flx keep up the great work

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

Thanks Nerd - more Ibex & NoBo's please

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

👍🏻

[@SaraBollig-ys3pu]

Hi Josh, do you know how the central vacuum works, as far as emptying the dirt goes? I imagine there is a compartment that you can dump, but I am curious how that works. Thanks!

[@Erin-Thor]

Depending on the model and type (5W or trailer) it’s essentially a Dirt Devil® vacuum with a replaceable or empty-able bag located behind a cabinet or in an undercarriage storage area. Some have a hose, some just have a foot level pop up cover with a button under it (cover down = off, cover up=on) that you sweep dust debris into/at. 😊

[@SaraBollig-ys3pu]

@@Erin-Thor awesome, thank you!

[@wendydue6256]

Would love to see more of the Heritage Glen 328bh.

Great to make creative floorplans, I wish they put the same amount of energy in ...... build quality !

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah I agree

[@BenoitBauwens]

Almost bought a Cougar 260MLE at the show, and would first thank you for the great video. But the dealership ........ so we gave it up

Hopefully you can catch Vibe 2500DB or 2600BH. Thanks for all your videos.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I hope so too

[@larkendelvie]

Thanks Nerd for all the videos. I would like half ton towable or less videos. The other thing that would be very helpful would be more info on each brand -- like what features do Ibexes have and that they are the sibling of ... and part of was it RPod? Basically where does this brand fit into the RV Family tree verses another brand and what if anything are they known for that's different?

Great job Josh I would like to see more details of the Vibe 2800 RK and RL. Enjoying your videos.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

yeah vibe really has a great look about them

[@NG-fg6qf]

Can we get a full walk thru of thevFSX 223RBLE? I'm really liking that clean, no OHC design. Only tweaks I'd make are really nitpicky -- replace the first bathroom vanity with floor to ceiling broom closet, go with Jayco-like under sofa table stow with drawers (or cubbies) below and plank look flooring. I've been really liking flex bunkhouse designs, but surprisingly this layout could meet the same needs. The huge bathroom has enough room to double as a utility closet and I can stow my bike and gear in the bedroom when traveling.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I’ll make that full look happen for the 233

[@TaraMontero]

I need to see the Rockwood 2520BH/Flagstaff 25DBH! Excited for the dedicated bedroom with bunks around 26 feet.
