Top 5 RVs Under 30ft with Private Bedrooms!!

Welcome back everyone! This list was *EXTREMELY* tough to put together simply because there were so many good candidates! Also keep in mind some of these models may still push the comfortable limits of many half-ton pickups. ALWAYS verify your safe towing ratings before completing a purchase and hitching up!!

Does any one else feel like they are window shopping when Josh is walking and talking through the rv lots?

[@christiansimpson4794]

I read this right as I was looking past him at the trailers behind him 😂😂😂

[@susancellier3370]

This was a great category of RVs to compare and exactly the criteria that we had restricted ourselves to when searching for a new RV. Our storage situation necessitated that 30' limit, but that gives us the added benefit of fitting into campsites easier. We own a half-ton with a very good tow capacity, but we also have to watch our tongue weight. So models that use two slides to cut down on the length end up weighing too much and won't work for us. I used to avoid floorplans that have walk-through baths but have decided it's one of the best ways to save on length - as long as there is a 2nd door for the bedroom for slides-in overnights. Now we prefer that floorplan to get the windows at the rear of rig.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It’s great you understand payload like that!

[@ricks3184]

Just a thought, when I think of keeping it under 30’ the reason would be to keep in the half-ton truck range. But then seeing hitch weights of 800, 900 and some a little over 1000lbs I feel we’ve gotten away from the purpose of keeping RVs in the sub 30’ category.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah some things still push the hitch weight depending on the layout Front slides for instance REALLY pressure hitch weights

[@boudica5883]

I thought under 30ft was for the purpose of fitting into most state and national parks.🤔

[@grnsgottaM]

I respectfully disagree. I’m in the market for a sub 30’ for my Super Duty Diesel. I have no desire to tow 40’+ around the country. I’ve towed at or over max before and cannot recommend! I’ll stick well under the max from now on.

[@bwizzle4194]

​@boudica5883 I was surprised that most places I looked at across the country had plenty of 30+ slots

[@daliaruiz3924]

Josh totally appreciate the time you took to gather this top 5. ..you are helping us easily sort through the pros & cons.. we have been looking for our trailer for a while & having it less than 30ft, private bedroom and a sizable bathroom are difficult to find but you made it easy...thank you so much

My pleasure, Dalia! Hope it helps :)

Agree!! I appreciate the benefits of the walk thru bathrooms with the 2nd door

[@waynebaumiller9781]

Your videos are very helpful. It took my wife and I over a year to decide on a travel trailer. After doing a lot of research and watching your videos, 2 years ago we purchased a 2020 Rockwood 2606ws which we think is the great couples trailer under 30 feet. Just what we wanted. Thanks for the help.

[@davereed7312]

Josh, you Rule! I will soon be a 1st time travel trailer owner and I truly appreciate your videos, especially this one. Your videos are interesting/informative, and are helping me with my upcoming decision. I am leaning towards the Rockwood Signature 8263MBR. Thank you (and Bish) for your service!

Pshh until BMW makes a travel trailer I won't buy one. I'm about quality. Not to mention that I can sleep in my BMW and be more comfortable than most RVs. I've done it twice on business trips and slept like a baby

[@toddlinks9505]

Thanks for your monthly updates. We really like learning more about the current situation of the RV world especially since we are looking to buy a travel trailer in the near future. We would love to see a top 5 list of couples travel trailers with nice outdoor kitchens that are under 30 feet and 1/2 ton towable. We find many floorplans we love but most couples campers do not have full outdoor kitchens. These seem to be found more often on bunkhouse campers Please give that list some thought. Would appreciate your input.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

From the hip: Cougar 26RBS Freedom Express 252RBS Those both immediately popped into my head. There are more certainly. Maybe a Jay Feather 22RBS I should have videos of all of those for you!

[@flywithty1788]

Great video! I enjoy your enthusiasm and energy as well as opinions on some great units. Maybe the people who tow with SUVs or small trucks might like a segment for even smaller and lighter ones. Maybe you have already done a video like that and I just haven’t seen it but if not, just a good suggestion for those that can’t tow much. Also Thankyou for the beginning remarks on the video!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Recently did a list under 5,000lbs btw m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKDNkJucq7CIors

[@thazen783]

Wow, all great rv's, tough to choose but I'd probably pick the Cougar. I really like the auto leveling and the available Solor packages.

[@davebrown1972]

I really enjoy this. I thought a year ago that we had decided on a travel trailer but we have yet to purchase (minds changed again). Its great to see multiple trailers in one video, makes it easier for us to compare. Keep up the great work. Man that Winnebago looks like a grand design on the inside.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Winnebago and GD overlap a bit on their decors for sure Not IDENTICAL, but they both did something similar without the other realizing it at the same time lol

[@davebrown1972]

It’s time for both to get away from the brown on brown on brown decor

[@sonnykurtz9027]

Man...love 'em all for different reasons. Although the Rockwoods always draw me in.. Thx for taking the extra time to do this type of video...it's very helpful!!!

[@lorrieastin84]

I would add the Cougar 25RDS to this list. It has some of the best window views for a trailer in this range and is very functional for a couples trailer.

[@asj9793]

Yes and the ability to have a guest sleep on that Mega Dinette while still having the theater seats. One addition I would like to see is a built-in seat in the shower as in the fifth wheel counterpart

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You won’t hear me argue about cougars. They’ve become one of my favorite brands really

Truly an amazing model

[@wasachevyguy]

A great list! But that 26’ Rockwood is insane. I just don’t understand how it can be the same overall length as our 22RBS Cougar. It’s has to be one of the absolute best there is on MANY lists.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah.. not an accident it shows up here! :)

[@sgardner4156]

Hey Josh, any rhyme or reason that the RV industry doesn't follow the same naming convention as Marine, for example 22 RBS would be 22' in a normal world.

[@dianereed9792]

I was so hoping to finally see you do a walkthrough of Grand Design's 23LDE, it has rocketed up to the top of our future upgrade list! We do couples camping with just the two of us and this seems perfect for privacy and storage but we've been waiting to hear what you think.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

RIGHT after that mode came out I went to a sister store that Carrie’s grand design but they sold their only 23LDE the morning I got there

I’m still partial to the Rockwood 2304DS for it’s size and weight. Wished that they would continue to manufacture it with some improvements like maybe a foot or so larger and a separate awning for the opposing slide. Thanks for sharing.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

There's just nothing like that one for sure Biggest little camper ever lol

[@terrispengler8316]

I have the Rockwood 2608BS and have to say it works well as a couples RV. We also can take our young grandson for a trip or 2 as the table turns into a bed while having a dedicated bedroom with a door. I saw this one in the honorable mentions so glad to know it was considered. We toured and researched many prior to purchasing so this may not work well for others. It does have access to kitchen and fridge thru the front door and the bedroom thru the rear door for those quick overnite stops at Cracker Barrel or other places. Terri S.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Love real world feedback like this! Ty

[@aronk7412]

Hi Teri. Do you extend the slides for your Cracker Barrel overnights? I was disappointed to learn, while our 2608 was on order, that Rockwood recommends not putting any weight on slides while in. This put a damper on rest area lunch breaks and quick overnights while traveling. Happy Camping

Love all your videos, both the "listicals" and the full walk thrus! For many reasons, I really like the Mini Lite's and if my wife decide on a TT with a private bedroom, the 2516S and 2513S are both on our short list along with the Imagine 22RBE. I know there's not one true 1/2 ton truck, but how about doing a "listical" of Top 5 mostly 1/2 ton towable TTs (under 8000 GVWR ~ 10,000 min towing capacity). I get it that you might want to stay away from even this designation because there's more that goes into the decision (Payload capacity of the truck, how loaded up your TT will be, ... )

All are worthy, but I agree that Cougar and Rockwood really stand out👍👍👍I was always partial to the Mini Lite 2511S but it was just a little to big for my Frontier to tow🙁

[@oldengineer1519]

That is one we've added to our list of possibilities. The wardrobe slide would really work for us on longer trips. We tow with an F-150 and even though we have about 1150 lbs available for hitch weight the listed dry weight 824 lbs on the 2511S has me a little concerned once we were to load it.

[@stevez340]

@@oldengineer1519 With a dry weight of less than 6,000 pounds and a length of just 26 ft, I would think that with a weight distribution hitch adjusted properly that you should be ok.

[@oldengineer1519]

@@stevez340 Yes I would be using a WDH but that doesn't change the maximum payload numbers. By the time I add batteries and load it I will be adding 200 - 300 lbs to the tongue weight plus another 100 lbs for the hitch head taking the payload close to the amount I have available. I don't like running close to the maximum as it leaves no room for error. I have a total of 1650 lbs total payload while that is better than a lot of other trucks it just isn't enough for this trailer. We've talked about going to a 3.5L Ecoboost with the heavy duty payload package which would have over 2K lbs, and potentially be into the 3K lbs range, of payload but it seems like a lot of extra expense for an outlier small trailer no matter how nice it looks.

[@stevez340]

@@oldengineer1519 Definitely, if you load everything on the front of the trailer, but I once had a trailer with the fresh water holding tank in the back which took hundreds of pounds off of the tongue weight if I filled it which even caused my trailer to sway. If you add the same amount of weight in the rear of your trailer it will offset the added weight on the front of the trailer and wouldn’t change the original hitch weight, but if you aren’t comfortable then you should absolutely upgrade👍

[@oldengineer1519]

@@stevez340 I understand weight can be shifted but then it becomes a game of what to move where. Specifically for the 2511S there are no storage bays in the rear so that means loading stuff into the interior. Been there and done that and don't want to go through it again. Also in this model based on the drain location I suspect the freshwater tank is either over or in front of the axles so can't be used to shift weight. I doubt I would replace the truck unless we intended on going much heavier when there are so many trailers in the under 7K lb GVWR to choose from.

Josh, You missed the best small unit with a private room. Coachmen 2145RBX (aka: Northern Spirit Line) It’s got it all; down side is laminated floors instead of 5/8”plywood deck. Yet If Coachmen would just ditch the 1990’s Darker decor features to update matching their lighter wood, adding a farmhouse sink, crown that ceiling, and changed that laminated floor, I’d buy one! Shucks, I’d have bought one long ago except for that dated interior color/palette. The white-wash oak is great, but the rest must get an update to match their fresh exterior. -Still, a private suite that is sweet! And a nice sized en-suite to-boot!

MOTORHOME,,,,,MOTORHOME,,,,,, MOTORHOME,,,,,,,, We started watching you about 4 years ago before We bought our Jayco Greyhawk29MV. And luckily back then you included MOTORHOMES....... I love watching your videos but I really feel the Motorhome segment is very under represented. We still love Ya.

[@arwbjw]

My vote is for the 2529RG, because we own one. And it's your fault. We were looking for something like it when you put out the video about it last spring. Since we live on the east coast we went to the Harrisburg show a few weeks later and found one. Between your video and spending about 2 hours with the Winnebago rep we have not looked back. It's great when we take one of the grandkids. Every time we go out the wife says she is so glad we got it, thanks in part to your review.

Cruiser Aire travel trailer reviews please!! Looking at buying a 27RBS soon. Would love your take. I haven’t seen any other travel trailers smaller than thus that have washer/dryer prep.

We do carry them and I have had a new requests. I will keep an eye out as I travel

@@JoshtheRVNerd l truly appreciate it. Your reviews are the only ones l even watch. No one else comes close. Thanks for all of them!! And keep up the awesome work

The Imagine 23LDE will be high on that list, IF you ever catch up to one.... 😂

[@andrelataste]

We just looked at one yesterday and agree

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

still 100000% trying man

[@GaryBrownrigg]

@@JoshtheRVNerd If it could be a lengthy review, when you finally catch up to one, that would be awesome! You'll see, there'll be plenty to talk about. ;)

25rds Cougar, bigger size appliances and shower

[@bobcade]

We went with the Imagine 2500rl though wanted the Cougar if not for our half ton pull specs. Love the imagine though, only real complaint is no king bed.

[@JackeFarmer]

I luv all ur videos ❤

[@brianlawliss1080]

If I was looking for a RV, I think I would contact Josh, and see what I can get. I would drive from Arizona to go pick it up!

[@bheptin]

My wife and I watch all your videos. To the point that we don’t trust many other people to tell us what we should be looking for 😁. This video hits home for us because I’m looking to get a Jeep Gladiator with 7650 capacity and we want something with a private bedroom and under 30ft. But we need the bunkhouse option for our 3 year old and 3 month old. We would consider almost anything at this point as long as it fits in our parameters. We hope you have some input on this

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Please double check the specs on these as I am not where I can deep dive into them before linking but from the hip I think these have the potential to work for you m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ-kl36kpK2MepI m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpKmgXesrbOqfLs m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqTMYWOthJmIb5o

@@JoshtheRVNerd my personal email is the Cromulon. My work email is Meseeks. But my brain is all Squanchy. Do you ever see a floor plan that falls into our needs with the jack knife in front of the bunks in the rear area? We really like that, but most are too heavy

Have you done a review of a Grand Design 22RBE? Also would like to see tailers without a dinette with a lot of room and private bedroom.

Not yet but will watch for one for sure

[@zygmuntziokowski7877]

Very nice! All under 30ft.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That was the goal!

[@Goldenmama1011]

Appreciate the honesty with it not 'really' good for 1/2 ton towable. I need a trailer for a 1/2 chevy truck with these option packages.

[@jeffreyedwards5808]

Ok how about top five couples campers with the most CARGO CARING CAPACITY and full time RV?

[@t-man152]

You could do 35 feet as well in the future for a video. Not all people just camp in National Parks.

[@betterwithrum]

Josh, given your reviews, you should consider doing your own reward review at the end of the year. Kind of like how JD Power or how some KZbinrs (MKBHD) do an end-of-year award show for cellphones. They do best overall, most improved, etc categories. It would just be something fun to look forward to.

I have badging I offer mfgs to use on their sites or materials actually “Nerd Preferred” A few have used it

[@JeffScott-w4o]

Great Video Josh. What do you recommend for a trailer under 30ft with ushaped dinette, theatre seats or small couch, and plenty of storage.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I am not where I can really scan through floorplans. Maybe some thing like a cougar, 25rds, or similar to lay out?

[@antonk1893]

I like one thru 4 & thanks a lot for all the confusion, just when I think we found the right one you show another one . This is really tough . Idk I'm just saying 🙋💣🚽💥💥

[@glenngardin3561]

We purchased a Surveyor 252RBLE for the same reasons that this lists exists. We're in Canada, don't see many Surveyors in your reviews.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I have only recently gained access to review surveyors in the past 8 months so I don’t have a big library of them recorded quite yet

[@jdollar5852]

Good video as we are looking in this category as well as smaller 5th wheels. Lots of good options on this list but some of them are way pricey and heavy, sort of defeating the purpose of a "small" trailer. Walking through the bedroom to get to the bathroom in a one bath trailer seems wonky. We like a camp kitchen because it keeps us from needing a special grill and a bunch of coolers and ice. We have the small countertop ice maker but having that small fridge would allow us to keep our Cokes cold. For those who enjoy Pop, I am from Alabama where all pops are Cokes. We have Dr Pepper Coke, and Diet Sprite Coke. How many Busch Lattes will fit in those little fridges? Asking for a friend. Great video here. Thanks.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Sometimes small and simple together make sense But some people also want something nicer that also isn’t large It’s nice having a wide variety of offerings to cover everybody like that

[@asanablue]

Like the Cougar.

[@jeffreyedwards5808]

LOVE COUGAR ,BUT price is my problem 50,000 is a lot of money ,I'm Larry lunch bucket (A union man) getting ready to retire , so i am looking for the most bang for my buck

[@johnross6314]

How about Ember? Yea the twin axle is shorter than many. However, 1/2 ton, adventure rugged would be a stand out along side what you show in this excellent video. Just saying.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Beautiful rvs that I personally like very buddy, but They don’t yet have any private bedrooms so by default don’t qualify here

[@johnross6314]

@@JoshtheRVNerd true.

[@marcusbuckslayer3280]

The 2516s is a standout to me because of how much you get in a short camper. But I don't understand the need for a private bedroom when they're so specifically geared toward just a couple's camper. I would like to see something that better accommodates guest sleeping. Maybe focus on a sofa, hide a bed option that doesn't muck up the usability. Great to have if/when it's needed. I would imagine a camper that does that well would appeal to a wider range of buyers.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Different strokes for different folks I guess. Some people really like that privacy but it’s not for everyone
