½ Tons will Handle This All Day Long! 2025 Grey Wolf 22CE Couple's Camping Travel Trailer

[@ae4xo]

the main difference between you and every single other RV person on youtube, is road mode. It's literally the most important thing you can talk about because that's how you get to the destination before you can take the slide out.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Real talk - YOUR input is one of the reasons I started doing it. You mentioned it for about a year before I finally decided to invest the time to do it If I cut out the road mode and storage segments I could literally cut my recording time in half OR BETTER. I average about 90mins per recording. I could likely get that down to about 30. But it just wouldn't feel right anymore So.. keep that input coming. I can't do EVERYTHING everyone asks but man.. I try

[@clovala]

Rode mode is what got me hooked on Bish’s

[@Brigand231]

We like hanging out with you too, Uncle Josh! I could see us using this one for local in-season camping, but ultimately we want a rig that'll keep us warm and comfortable through Winter after our leaf watching tour through the Northeast and then go traipsing through Canada and Alaska. The other half loves the cup rinser, of course, and the vessel sink in the bathroom appeals to her. I was about to get on Cousin Garrett's case for missing the perfect opportunity to put in a donkey "hee haw" when you mentioned mule kicking the front door, but after seeing how punch drunk he got with the fart sounds he'd make asses of us all. Thanks for the video and tour, see you in the next one!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

hahahhaa He actually texted me and is like "is this too much on the fart button?" I replied to him with a link to the more cowbell skit on SNL

[@heather3706]

I love this layout! We are mostly inside when its raining. So the fact that you can have people on a couch and at the table and not break your neck while talking! I'd give up the solid private bedroom for this layout!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Awesome! Glad you like it. Check the links to similar models btw. There are a lot of builders offering this setup The bullet version maintains a private bedroom btw. Try this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIuqoWB7pch9btk

[@carlydelaurier-flanigan1318]

With the see through cabinets. Cling film can put on the back side of the glass to make it any color you want or design. I did that on my first camper. It worked great.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

...thats kinda brilliant ty

[@heather3706]

Thank you for rode mode! Its a huge deciding factor for me! We have dogs and i want acess to the bathroom even if i cant open the slide! Ill do a dance to get into the bathroom lol. i really like this one!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You bet

[@joepeach997]

I like how you rebooted yourself by clicking your fingers! I'm going to try that next time I get stuck on a word! If the manufactures are building these as nice as they are designing the interiors we may have an RV comeback. The price for this at Bish's seems very fair. Thanks Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

whatever works when the brain stops braining lol :)

[@AlaskaErik]

I don't know what Gray Wolf was thinking. Trailers need to be functional, not showpieces. There is no need for that water wasting shower head arrangement, especially with such a small gray water holding tank. Just give me a regular shower head that I can turn down to a trickle while taking my water saving navy shower. And leave that vessel sink for the cheese and wine crowd. I just need a regular sink with no huge cabinet above it that makes it much more difficult to bend over to wash my face, shave and brush my teeth. And give me a little more elbow room with the toilet. I'm 6' 2" and it's too tight for my normal-sized frame. The kitchen is another area where I have to ask...what were they thinking? There is virtually no counter space to prepare food. And I want my microwave to be overhead, not way down below where I can't see what's going on. And for heaven's sake, just put in a 60x80 residential size queen bed. Us taller folks need it and it makes shopping for sheets and mattress pads much easier. I'm a minimalist and a few months ago you profiled a Grand Design Transcend One 151RB. I did a lot of research on it and viewed other videos and finally decided to get one. I even got it at Bish's RV in Eldridge, Iowa. It has a good sized bathroom that has a sink that's easy to use and a toilet with plenty of elbow room. And the shower head is perfect for taking a navy shower. There is plenty of counter space and the microwave is overhead. And although I'm not a big fan of Murphy beds, this one is 60x80 and the mattress is actually comfortable enough to where I didn't need a topper. I actually prefer the two post dining table and that's what I have. It has a six gallon water heater, which is much more preferable for boondocking. The only thing I don't like is the solid steps, which are a pain, and I'll never understand why they replaced the much easier to use folding steps. The 12 volt compressor fridge is actually pretty energy efficient. I forgot to turn the power off one time and came back three or four days later to a cold fridge and the battery still had over a 2/3s charge. I do have the factory 200 watt solar package and the trailer is in sunny Arizona for the winter.

[@FredBiesinger]

Absolutely love road mode Also noticed you don't always mention propane tank capacity in your videos anymore Please start doing that again Best and most informative videos And let's not forget the nerdisms and juvenile humor you do so well Nerd lol

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@davidoverton2432]

I use a bluettie backup battery for my CPAP at night even running the heat in it will work nicely with 150 watts " I would suggest turning the heat off as to use as little battery as possible"

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

great input. TY

[@scottjeffrey2450]

So excited to see the bathroom sink setup. Hopefully the trap is way up to leave max room for trashcan, maybe some shelves, and/or anything else that'll fit! I don't see anything I don't like on this one. Weird. Thank snerd!

[@lauragough1174]

The floorplan is pretty good and the black label edition is snazzy. But the cheap materials would make it a no-go.

[@kayleen9110]

Finally one with a sofa.

[@samuelbranson6138]

I like the dinette on the camp side. Good cargo capacity, great length and height.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY Samuel!

[@kcgunesq]

Not for me, but this unit definitely checks lots of boxes and has a lot going for it.

[@metamorphicorder]

Lamps fans, phone and computer chargers, humidifiers, cpaps low draw stuff. But nothing bigger than that. And not necessarily all of any of that at one time.

[@papasammeh]

6:15 "I'm not really even sure what you can run off a 150 watt inverter?" Just off the top of my head (all things I've used in an RV): My CPAP is about 80 watts, Almost any fan is < 100 watts, any laptop charger typically under 100 watts (sans some huge gaming laptop), smaller heated blanket/throw - 60-100 watts (up to 150), Almost any other battery charger (Cell phone, cordless tool (batteries), flashlight, etc);

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Man.. thank you. This is SUPER handy

[@Erin-Thor]

🐶 Pomeranian fur? DUDE‼️ 🤣 I like this, perfect length, storage, it will work well for a lot of people. What is the deal with short beds when a standard will fit? Does 4” of plywood to support it equate to more profit or less sales?

[@Erin-Thor]

Oh, and nice looking stapled cabinets are lipstick on a pig. All I know is after a few years use, you will notice more flex.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

So short beds... first I want to open with "i am in camp true queen all day" - so there's that But to answer your question: Factory standardization Juggling multiple sku's and multiple parts of the same variety is a challenge. Adds oversight. That adds cost. Do that enough times and the cost of an rv quickly goes up This is something we learned making our Go Play series -- sounds nuts but literally just the EXISTENCE of an option increases the base cost of the rv even if the option isn't applied And it adds up way faster than you'd think So they control their costs but using one size mattress that can fit into every model even if a larger one can SOMETIMES fit

[@Erin-Thor]

@ - So… in other woids manufacturers are lazy? 😂 I understand what you meant, good point. I counter with many buyers will not want the time, expense or effort to increase the mattress base to accommodate a standard size mattress. I had a used RV where every time I sat on the edge of the bed, I’d feel like I was going to slide off, because of the owner swapping out the mattress without increasing the base. The end was unsupported. LOL!

[@chriscalvin5083]

3:40 on the tv location maybe suggest to Grey wolf a flip down tv bracket although not common in the US in England or European motorhome some RV have a flip down tv between in the cab area that flip down between the driver and passenger seat they could mount something like that under the cabinets above the booth dinette

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah it's totally possible. I'm shocked the industry has been SO reluctant to do it

[@Patricksmancave]

First thing love the new bathroom sink! That's makes this rv look a lot better. The back Label makes this Rv a lot better. The living space is great. The kitchen is to small. Like the other campers with more in the kitchen. Not a fan of the kitchen. The bedroom is good. Overall this not my favorite version of this floor plan. Thank you

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah black label edition adds so much eye appeal

[@donaldbailey5576]

Nice entry level camper.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY Donald

[@mikekyle-y8i]

Another great review. A lot of wasted space . Lack of outside access doors sucks! I like the jackknife couch, Sadly we see a lot of shortcuts/cheaper to do things in this unit. Lack of struts is the main thing. Not a big fan of stick and tin construction so would pass on this one.

[@SuperLaMario8]

Great videos Josh! Always fun to watch. I like how you always keep them interesting yet informative. Was curious what software you use to make your thumbnails. I've played around with Canva, but can't seem to find anything with gradient letters that can be shaped. Very cool. Cheers!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You wouldn't believe me if I told you lol The thing is I never learned REAL professional tools for my job I don't know how to really run a real camera I use basic bare bones budget editing software (thankfully our new editor is more skilled!!) I use software from literally 2007 that i have cobbled together to make thumbnails It's all ULTRA low budget I'm not super familiar with canva but have thought of trying it out

[@tkchillin2065]

I would scrap the dinette for a telavator and storage but keep the window.

[@Schneids71]

Then go find that camper. This isn’t for you. Fine. But many people are fine with this concept. Leave the comments to them, instead of butting in with a comment about redoing half the floor plan.

[@kcgunesq]

@@Schneids71 I disagree. Feedback can be very useful to dealers and manufacturers.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I 100% appreciate this feedback. It's comments like this that have helped us custom-tune our Go Play series and the soon-to-come Go Explore series in different ways We actually are developing a version of this exclusive to bish's that is almost exactly what you're saying Please keep sharing

For the " seniors " this is a 100% no go !! I and probably others who have hit a certain age cannot get on our knees to operate the microwave . Also maybe it's just me but ever closeup on the wood or should I sat fake wood it looks horrible.

[@texillini1]

Has hits and misses for sure… 1) When you first walked in and had shown the view, my first thought was this HOA brown color palette looked like something from the ‘70’s. 2) Unless I had missed it, no kitchen drawers. Bummer. 3) With the wasted dead air space behind the refrigerator that you mentioned, perhaps they could’ve had a door next to the seating that you opened for extra storage shelves. 4) I prefer the smexy look. 5) The sale price is much preferred over the MSRP price. 6) I know this sounds odd, but couldn’t they just swap the door hinges on the bathroom door so that it wouldn’t be so tight to walk in? Or would the toilet 🚽 be in the way? 7-37) Appreciate the RV education that you do. You are a good instructor Professor Nerd. 🧑‍🏫. This nerdy student sits in the front of the class awaiting your endless knowledge 🤓 😂

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

1.) even as a kid in the 80's everything was still so brown 6.) I think toilet would be a problem

[@shawnscrimsher2207]

I am a full-time RV person and so is my friend. Is planning on downsizing to something smaller than his fifth wheel. He doesn't know the difference between stick and tin And Azdel siding. Do you have a video or something you can send me so I can show him. Thank you

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I do actually. See here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGmldmWcbceXa9E

[@spencerkooiman1542]

So with all that dead space in the slide, could they make the slide depth shallower to reduce the dead space and the weight or are slide sizes not that adjustable?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think the slide depth is driven by the refrigerator depth.. so not sure you could make the slide more shallow w/o making the fridge stick out in a funny way I just think they could've used the space more effectively

[@nighttrain98]

can you get theater seats instead of couch?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Not in this specific camper but MOST versions of this layout from most builders will have theater seating.

#RVNerdHerd 😊 🎉 😊

[@RockForMusic]

* I STAND CORRECTED ON THIS AND THE NEW RV REFRIGERATORS DO NOT WORK LIKE THIS. They won’t put any storage cubby or cabinet behind the refrigerator because as you probably already know refrigerator coils on the rear will become warm and anything stored behind them will become warm.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That's not how these fridges work. You're thinking is correct as it relates to the 2-way absorption fridges that were present in rvs for a long time but these new fridges arent made or laid out that way

[@RockForMusic]

@ after a some research I did discover what you are saying to be entirely correct. Thank you for correcting me as I have now learned something I did not know. My RV is many years old I am just about to upgrade it to a new one. I’m thinking of going with the Forest River No Boundaries 19.8. I’ve worked on many RVs through the years and it seems like the most friendly to work on to me. And it will be good for the little one without breaking the bank.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Man stuff changes all the time. I'm glad I was able to assist

[@RockForMusic]

@@JoshtheRVNerd what’s your opinion on the No Boundaries 19.8? Or the No Boundaries Series in general? Quality built or no?

[@pamelachambers9181]

The layout view said it had a KING bed??? You said it was a short Queen??? Which is it???

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Glad you asked - The rv industry takes crazy liberties with what they call bed sizing. This is *NOT* a king bed This is a 66" wide x 74" long _"Short Olympic Queen"_ It's not anywhere on the scale of a king bed - even a weirdly sized "RV King"

[@stevez340]

A $47,000 MSRP is pretty expensive for an RV with no ladder, Chinese tires, no TV, and an entry level bathroom with a cheap plastic toilet and shower curtain🫤

[@Erin-Thor]

Take 30% off MSRP for the ballpark price, so about $33k. 😊

[@rxibot]

I absolutely love the videos that unk does, but you're absolutely right. You can almost buy a house with land or the amount they're charging for just something you tow behind your truck. The good part is is the bubble has popped and it's about to get way cheaper up in here. Everybody in the RV field is suffering heavily because they have been overpriced for years and now after the pandemic which I love bishes RV for showing us how they're seeing the market compared to what we are dealing with is the fact that nobody is buying RVs at the prices that they're trying to make us pay. As an American I believe you are to make money as a business but also as an American you're not to get ripped off by these companies that feel that they can charge you for garbage work. That is another reason why I support bishes RV. They get the better RVs on the market. And plus unk if it wasn't for him I wouldn't even be bothering with any of this. When you have somebody to break it down for you show you what you're looking at give you the positives and the negatives there is nothing better to watch on KZbin than somebody who knows what they're talking about.

My husband would be so happy with this bathroom location just to 🤢 nauseate me after he comes out of the bathroom! Eeww 😤

[@popeyeandy959]

Despise pleather seating. I would prefer a table and chairs, but can adjust to making the table free standing. If I open the hanging clothes door, I knock my CPAP off unless I keep it on the floor where I can step on it. I would prefer a drawer that is accessed from the foot of the bed over having to lift the mattress to get to it. Ditch the dead air space behind the sofa and put in reclining theater seats (covered in a cloth material). Needs blackout shades. I think that bathroom sink is hideous, really don't like shower curtains as they tend to drift out of the shower pan - much prefer a tracked thing. Is that a wrinkle in the wallpaper just above the shower surround? Not a fan of the bathroom access in road mode for people fluffier than you Mr.Nerd. Don't like glass entry doors.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]
