This Might Be the PERFECT Travel Trailer! Palomino Pause 20.3

[@tomboard1]

You both did a great job presenting the travel trailer. That price tag is eye popping though.

[@Jim-iv7yq]

you get what you pay for and what you want if you have disposable money.. can say the same thing about an airstream...

[@tomboard1]

@@Jim-iv7yq I get the price tags. My dream would be to have a Gretch Class B. Built on a Sprinter frame they will run around $230k. There's a lot there though.

[@mocheeks709]

I like the way they always have a 5 ft tall woman show the RV, makes it look huge, how about a 6'4 250 lb man.

[@janeforever]

Would love to replace our 2014 TT with this. But at almost 140K MSRP, it'll be out of range for a LOT of RVers, even considering negotiated pricing.

[@robertcadogan7483]

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I FOUND THE PERFECT RV DAM THAT'S HIGH BUT IF I COULD PAY THAT I WOULD ❤😢😩😕💯

[@Brokemalone420]

Im actually contemplating getting highly modified 21.4 which is like 157k that's really not that bad depending on your income as deep sea commercial fisherman i make 75k every 10 days out at sea I've saved enough i could enjoy some travling with my dogs for a while ill go thru ROA in south Carolina its probably where they got theres 👍 i mean look at the pine trees and palm trees in the background where else you gonna see that lol im a New Englandah😉

[@jessicamelu3353]

I want this! I'm almost in reach!

[@meridethhendry5733]

Boy that rig is amazing! They have thought of everything and made it seem reality comfortable.

[@larryclark6212]

Love this travel trailer. About time RV USA manufacturers are getting creative.

[@danrandall794]

Not for everyone but nice to FINALLY see an RV manufacture with a vision!! On a different note congrats on being Captains again for season two. You guys did a great job!!

[@todayissomeday]

thanks so much! We cant wait for season 2 of RV Unplugged!

[@alexandriar5143]

This would literally be the perfect camper if they could make this a true Murphy bed with a standard queen matress.

[@tonyrodgers6730]

OMG! RV reviews are admittedly not my favorite BUT this one was AWESOME! An incredible rig and a GREAT team showing how incredible it is.

[@todayissomeday]

We loved it. It would have been nice if we could have taken it out and played with it. Really impressed with the build!

[@rosemarydoran9907]

Overall, this is pretty nice! Love the all metal construction. The mattress is a bit odd; not sure how comfy it would be or how easy it would be to replace it. Outdoor kitchen is A+! Bathroom is terrific, although I am not a fan of vessel sinks. I would also prefer to see a retractable shower door rather than the shower curtain. Decent CCC but the storage space is limited for the kitchen as there is no pantry and the bath is missing linen storage space. There is also not much clothing storage and virtually no exterior storage for campsite gear. The huge refrigerator is awesome but I missed what type it was. Awesome solar package shown!! Thanks for the great tour, Phil & Stacy!

[@merceywatts5118]

Expensive plus the truck plus many other expenses. A tent, a cooler, and a nice offroading vehicle are perfect 👍😃

[@chad375]

Love the outdoor kitchen!

[@rickrichardson5329]

I love watching ya'll. The video was so much fun with yall and the trailer was awesome. That would be a fun RV to have. Ya'll stay safe

[@Tom.and.Missy.Northam]

Very nice rig !! great job on the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@dholtman5977]

A lot of good ideas on this one that could be applied to your own rv.

[@thespankdmonkey]

Price considered this is still that RV that can be configured to fit what you want. And keep you off grid if desired for short periods. Than go to a conventional site and still be 100% comfortable. Really looking into this as an retirement option for me and the wife.

[@philipforder9183]

I live ficariously through you, and you have the very best off grid RV ever made, this particular model, for me, is perfection! Then, if you purchase this unit at ROA who go out of their way to ensure you have everything you could possibly dream of, I never get tired of seeing this perfection!!!!!!!

[@stevenkaskus6173]

Fantastic for those who like to do what I do which I learned from my mother, she liked to see where roads went to and ee got stuck more than once but learned to use what was around to help get the car going again.

[@RickandDarcirvadventures]

We would love to have that kitchen table in our class c and the class a when we go full time

[@donaldmatthies6026]

Wow, i like almost everything about this trailer, just not a fan of round sinks! I'll have to look further into this one. Thank you both for taking time to film, edit and post this video.

[@NicholeOlive]

Those exterior speakers intimidated your camera. 🔊 📷 😱 3:23

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks! I got it. Strange

[@travismull944]

This is the real deal. Great review!

[@livingbwater4770]

Love❤❤this RV! It’s the best I’ve seen! Thank you for this video!!!

[@todayissomeday]

Our pleasure!

[@surpriseitsus9622]

I love how much storage there is. Creative, different, and Stacy is adorable. I do despise a shower curtain. 🤔

[@gregroderick4528]

138.000 you could have a huge diesel motor home ! That's crazy ! How many will they sell ?

[@patryk996]

This was amazing! Thank you for putting this together! Entertaining and informative!!

[@tomgillotti]

Great review! You forgot the airbag suspension, though! Such a great feature!

[@marcochavanne]

I am loving this rapid fire style review. All the facts and it was fun. Some are over an hour long and I have to skip several times to find the important information

[@todayissomeday]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@drinkinslim]

Cool rig, though the Victron is actually a 2400 Watt inverter.

[@denisewalters8247]

You Two didn’t say how much $ ? Maybe because I can’t afford it if I ask! 👍. This video. What a great idea “No Wood”! 👍

[@RR-ss7dn]

Beautiful and brilliant build

[@pytheus]

Thanks for a great video!! Safe and happy trails!! Appears the Pause is a fantastic trailer!! Question: so cold is not a concern for the Pause, but what about taking an afternoon siesta in Aug. while off-grid in SE TX of FL -- is the AC able to overcome the heat and get the inside down to 70 when its 100+ out, and not leave you tapped out on power by midnight?

[@todayissomeday]

Great question. With the lithium and solar setup, it may be able to handle it.....for a while.

[@davidc1961utube]

Looks like an all-terrain version of an ATC trailer. I would look at a toy-hauler version around 30' and slightly bigger tanks if they made one. Nice!

[@johnnylightning1491]

Something I have never understood about the " back country" trailers is the knobby tires. I understand them on the tow vehicle but I really don't understand what purpose they serve on the trailer. I guess maybe it's just for looks. I don't know. I like the rig if I was looking for a trailer that one would be on my list. I would be nice if they could have a screen when the TV was outside but I do understand the design issues with that. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@danasimmons6784]

Looks for sure, but even though the trailer tires aren’t under power, there are several benefits to off road specific tires for travel trailers like these. Braking on loose surfaces is probably the biggest benefit. Side grip when traversing slippery or loose surface off-camber situations. Ability to air down the tires due to a more robust construction. For slow, rock crawling type situations or improved ride quality in general when off road. Off road specific tires usually have better puncture resistance as well.

[@WestsontheMove]

Loved seeing our Momentum’s background cameo before everyone showed up. It was great seeing you guys again. That Pause is pretty awesome. We’ll see it again at the Overland Expo PNW in Redmond, OR and Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, CO, as well. We went through Fountain on our way to Peak RV Resort yesterday (2 weeks) before heading up to Longmont (St. Vrain State Park. 😊

[@todayissomeday]

I was wondering if you would see your RV in the video! It was great to see you guys as well. You guys have fun in CO! It is one of our favorite places. Hope to see you again soon.

[@marktracy]

Great review of a very neat rig. Thanks for sharing.

[@rwhite11534]

Not sure how you go offroad with that much camper. Long wheelbase, water weight, etc. Neat as a concept.

[@TravelingonAdventures]

Really nice little camper especially for an off-grid trip!

[@guitarjeff55]

Nice work both of you. Very upbeat act with great information enjoyable presentation. Thanks. Really enjoyed this

[@brianlykins6663]

Nice rig. Wouldn't be for everyone, but for the ones that could use it, it would be tough to beat it. Good review guy's. Ya'll want a sideline, you could do rv sales. I prefer you to stay with what your doing . 👍 👍 God bless ya'll and stay safe on the road.

[@ready2roamrv289]

Love the Pause! ….but I will never be able to afford it. 😢

[@ammim6797]

You two are adorable. This is nice. I’m going to have to see if they make em a little smaller

[@markmattson4752]

Well thought out rv ! Phil I think you found a new time out room for Stacy in that battery room lol stacys grad on the solar is a B and A on everything else lol👍 hope you had a great Mother’s Day ! Keep rocking life

[@todayissomeday]

😂 Thank you!

[@redcauthen771]

Nice unit, I would like to see the solar / battery setup in a toy hauler say around 22 feet and a full 102 inch with. One which would be able to haul a 50” UTV 2 seater, 👍

[@ChristopherWelle]

Not big on marketing videos, but I enjoyed this one. Thinking of all the places I could go overland with this.

[@gladyswilson6479]

❤ I absolutely love it!!!

[@johnMeyers-q8c]

I'm really loving this rv

[@530Sharis]

It sure is nice! Sweet features. What about the insulation? I must have missed it.

[@todayissomeday]

From what we remember, it was insulated pretty well.

[@dawnstraughen755]

You need an awning over the outdoor kitchen.

[@candycornett5061]

You guys are great love the camper

[@carolbrucecollett]

What a cool camper!

[@bryaninnc5511]

I heard it’s expensive, but it does look well built with lots of features and I’m betting it will hold its value better than most TTs.

[@cherylnewell9912]

You still have your ebikes? Or can you take them with this unit?

[@jennifervert2601]

How does handle cold? How sealed is it for mice?

Thats so refreshing!!

[@todayissomeday]

It was really an impressive build!

[@brucegruenbaum]

This is a wicked cool trailer! Alli and I noticed it behind Todd and Tony in the RV Unplugged Q&A. Did you guys stay in the camper for the rally? If so, what was it like to camp in?

[@todayissomeday]

We did not stay in it as it didn’t have all the things needed to stay in it. We were really impressed with it though!!!

[@markschmitt8651]

if you going have a off road trailer you need put pin hitch like Australian have not ball hitch

[@mr.stickyfingers3189]

Would love this if it was a toy hauler. Didn’t see where I can fit my motorcycle

[@walterrafolski5662]

Great review, a bit expensive but worth it if that’s your thing!

[@peggyr.346]

I see a new career for you both! Great job! But inquiring minds want to know….Stacey you admitted to having to take many times to get the power system info down but…how many times did it take Phil to say “an anomaly” ? 😅😅

[@todayissomeday]

LOL...just one!!!

[@MrKen-mc4bu]

Bravo!!!

[@barbaralucas987]

Nice presentation. I was ready to buy one if I was single until I heard the weight. I am surprised how heavy it is. Must have at least a 1/2 ton truck to tow it, I guess.

[@bobmariano3731]

What is the GVW ? ?

[@danasimmons6784]

Too much trailer for 1/2 tons in my opinion. With that (empty) tongue weight most 1/2 tons would be over max payload with full fuel tank, a couple passengers and just the bare camping essentials loaded in truck and trailer. I would not feel safe pulling this with anything less than a 3/4 ton.

[@richardbyrd7268]

Its very nice and has a lot of great features but 130k seems ridiculous for such a small trailer. Yes, yes, independent suspension, ooooohhh, still not worth 130k

[@krbattlemaster]

It's not just the independent suspension and the features. The suspension is offroad-grade, the tires are offroad, the shock absorbers are performance shocks, the frame is a custom heavy-duty aluminum frame, the body is more reinforced aluminum, the walls are layered composite panel walls, and windows are double-pane. Everything inside is aluminum. It's not cheap because it's made for offroad durability, it's not made for highways and well-maintained dirt roads.

[@rdkill1965]

At $138,000 it should come with it's own tow vehicle..Hard pass for me.

[@kstarrmd]

It's worth half that.

[@riverbig4279]

Just not necessary You can get the same size with capabilities for 20 grand yeah you might have to fix a few things but

[@krbattlemaster]

The $138,000 earns you higher build and materials quality than you get for the average US house, and it costs less than a house. You also get a specialized offroad suspension and tires, and a heavy duty aluminum chassis that won't rust away even if regularly exposed to corrosive offroad environments, that weighs less than a steel equivalent, and that's made to withstand offroad punishment (forces applied on a trailer when in offroad are much higher than in paved roads). If you're just doing highway travel and well-maintained dirt roads, and staying on easy-access campgrounds, this is overkill. But if you want more difficult stuff and going to particularly remote places, you want quality, reliability and capabilities, over savings. This is a high quality offroad trailer for a person who has likely spent another 138k on an expedition vehicle to tow it, and that won't leave you stranded. Same deal as with airplane components. You don't use generic brand components on airplanes. You use expensive versions made by select companies because they're made to meet a high quality standard that guarantees reliability, durability, and safety. You could make this cheaper by offering it with fewer features or in a more barebones state, but then it wouldn't sell. Very few people are into DIY barebones for this application, and fewer features would make it less appealing than competing lower quality alternatives with popular features.

[@dannyroy4411]

Sick but the price is sick too

[@seancook2529]

Whats the price? I love this travel trailer

[@todayissomeday]

You will have to go to their website. I am sure it has changed since the video.

[@paintdoctormd]

Lots of RV ppl try to be funny. You guys succeeded. Nice vid guys

[@todayissomeday]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jeffadcock3238]

Really like the dining alternative. Can convert to a bench or a sleeper or be put out of the way completely. And for those romantic times, you can sit thigh to thigh with your favorite person. What's better than that? Much better than a table that is always too small, set in between two uncomfortable bench seats that will generally only hold one each and all of which converts into an uncomfortable sleeper. No thanks.

[@RAID5_Aesthetic]

Interested to see what it offers beyond what Opus offer for the other 50 to 100 grand 😂

[@robertbird7297]

What size truck do you use to pull this travel trailer

[@todayissomeday]

We don't own this trailer. We just reviewed it while it was at the set of RV Unplugged Season 1.

[@adampembrooksr6863]

Never mind the camper. You two are AMAZING! 😊

[@todayissomeday]

😊 thank you!

[@russellfield8539]

Lot of weight at the back 2 spares at 100 pounds each plus another 200 pounds of batteries, how is this balanced to get good ball weight?

[@krbattlemaster]

This is probably why they mounted the suspension closer towards the rear instead of at the middle. If you imagine the chassis as a lever and the suspension as the pivoting point, then a shorter lever length reduces the torsional force exerted upon the pivot point. The implication being, that the torsional force is boosted for the front of the trailer (longer lever length) and reduced for the back (shorter lever). I'd bet if you do the math and take the suspension mount position as your point of reference, and you calculate the torsion on either side and add it, the forces likely cancel each other out or get close to a zero summatory. If they accounted for the cargo space at the rear being used for a certain cargo mass threshold and also the weight of the tanks (and they almost certainly did), then it would balance better and more closely approach a zero summatory when loaded than when empty. The boosted torsion at the front side also means the truck will have an easier time controlling and steering this.

[@63302426]

Overpriced but great quality nonetheless! Awesome presentation as well!

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for watching!

[@ltyr-mr2if]

You guys are fun but...It's too heavy. Is it four season?

Súper cute but I need an extra bed we are 4.

Did you notice the Pex connectors on the flexible water hoses? Not good!

[@todayissomeday]

We did not.

this is beautiful and u guys are beautiful but ill stick with my 2005 grand design lol u guys know this is kool but wayyyy to small 4 our liking lol. not to mention once ya go class A !! its hard to do anything else...

Search for Trip in a van, an Australian family that have the ultimate RV caravan, and 4x4 pulling it

[@americanrvtraveler2446]

For an all aluminum trailer, the total weight and hitch weight seems high.

[@Jim-iv7yq]

not at all. take into account the robustness of the build, the materials , the accessories, the thickness, the battery bank.. you're not getting a 5000lb trailer with that capability

[@bobmariano3731]

What is the GVW ? ?

[@todayissomeday]

Don't recall off the top of my head. We mentioned it in the video.

[@TheRangerman00]

To heavy for off-road use

[@bendub1043]

Can you make a video about how to fix it when people can't comment on your videos? I've realized people haven't been commenting, I didn't think much about it first, sense I am a SMALL youtuber, but my friend tried to comment, and he told me it didn't work. Can you tell me how to fix that? Oh and by the way, my other friends couldn't either. I said this cause I know you made a video on how to fix it when you can't comment.

[@briansmith7046]

at 3:26 there a horrible noise just an fyi

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks! So weird. It was not there on my computer. But I got it.

[@rjeepster8640]

Fantastic quality but I really hate those little round sinks. They’re almost useless. Give me a square sink at least 15 inches in each direction.

[@todayissomeday]

That is a great observation. I didnt think about that. Although our bathroom is tiny and you are right very difficult.

[@jenniferl4407]

Nice to see your knees bending well

[@alanploetz7100]

A great overall engineering example and a fun review. I like the brush bars down low. Would love to see them up high, too. Always wonder about the durability of unprotected solar panels on the roof. Where I have camped has often been on fire roads and two-tracks with tree branches poking out here, there and everywhere. Have been hesitant to go beyond a pop-up trailer for these places.

[@joeo7257]

After thinking about it. This seems expensive, but that is a ten thousand dollar plus solar system. They could have used less expensive yet good quality batteries to cut cost. Being a boon docking focused travel trailer, is the frame and suspension beefed up substantially? It seems to be designed to be tough. Tough costs big bucks. Stronger frame, better suspension, better build quality in the roof and walls. It is likely much heavier and more durable. Is that true here? I am tired of ultra light and ultra cheap construction am I'm willing to pay more if it is justified. Don't be blinded by pretty features and under estimate the unseen construction quality. The only thing I really don't like about this is that foam rubber sofa is not acceptably comfortable, nor is any other seating. Keep up the great content.

[@joshpowers3737]

I want this

[@jamesturbyfill6281]

You can get a custom built 4×4 van for what you pay for that thing and not have to deal with the usual cheap low quality components of a factory built travel trailer (this isn't a RV lol) and you don't have to have or buy a toe vehicle adding to the overall cost! Add a truck to this and it will be right at or over 200k!! You know how nice of a custom built adventure van you can get for that kinda money??

[@pb8797]

I love this in so many ways but price. It is way to expensive .

[@williamroberts6803]

Non welded aluminum? You say it like that’s a plus? Those rivets are going to be the weakest part and would seriously worry me.

Yeah, I would totally remove all that outdoor kitchen. Rather use it for more storage.
