I had this exact floor plan from KZ. It was a great trailer for hunting/fishing trip. I could take places you would not imagine. I ended up giving to my nephew to live in to save money while in college. I bought it brand new in 2011 and he still lives in it today.
Thats cute! Because it would be just me, I would convert the dinette into a full time bed and use the couch as the dinette/couch. But very practical for 1 or 2 people. Thanks for the review!
Cute little camper. Ours is a 14 foot similar to this. Easy to tow. Easy to park, but taking the table down to make into a bed every night is a hassle and those tables are not light. Hard to get them on the narrow rails that support them. In the little bathroom your knees touch the door on a sit down. An older person is not going to enjoy getting down on your hands and knees to get items out of the fridge. These are great for two people but add a mastiff dog and it gets crowded!!! But for comfort they are much better than a tent and a lot less trouble than a popup.
Hey JD, have you thought about doing a “So you got your first RV!” video? The initial set up, the dealer won’t tell you this, here’s a best practice and/or here’s a list of things to get before your first set up?
That long Couch actually is actually a good idea, as it gives more room to get dressed in the morning while the bed is set up, and a clean place to put the bed sheets when turning it back into a nook for eating.
I’m a single senior and have the 2016 version of this trailer. It has a front window and a lighter colour interior (fabric instead of vinyl seating all around). Much prefer the interior of mine. Apparently Jayco has had supplier issues for front windows so they are missing on a number of 2021 models. Too bad. It is a great little trailer though and fits in some of those tight campsite spaces. Tows perfectly fine with Chev Colorado.
@@randypickering5793 Thanks for that. Was looking at this with an F150 as we dont need all that much since we hike and actually do activities. Would just be nice not to have to pitch a tent
This is a very good video because of the discussion about weight distribution and towing capacity, etc. Things to think about as we research what type of vehicle we'll need. Thanks much for talking about the guts of this instead of just the fluff.
Love it! Camping is for being outside! Great space to cook, sleep then get out for hiking and exploring! We would definitely make a cozy bed- throw a mattress on top and keep it a bed all of the time! We'd use our packable chairs and table to eat meals outside. In case of rain, you could just sit on the couch bench to eat. Great concise space. Love that there are no slides! :)
This was extremely helpful! I'm looking at a used Baja version of this trailer and watching this video beforehand was very useful. Thanks for taking the time to post the info. I particularly like the technical info about towing considerations. I would not have thought a trailer this light would need a sway control hitch but since you mention it's light and wind could cause problems, that makes perfect sense. Thank you!
Looks nice. I like the fact that it has a separate shower and toilet. Not the wet bathroom. The sleeping area/dining area could be reconfigured to where there’s a single dinet table near the window in the back or you could be a flip down bed with the curtain
Just finished a 3 1/2 week trip thru the Blue Ridge Parkway with our 17'. Got into a lot of places the the bigger rigs would have had trouble with. Size is great for wife and I.
I like it a lot. The bathroom and wardrobe are important components for me. It's nice see an RV with a restroom that you can actually move around in. Very clever model.
That would be the reason to buy this one, Margaret (except the price is silly) but not a long weekend. Way too cluttered inside making the bed every night, clearing off the table.
@@jasonkolb1702 Just to ask is the freshwater tank 10 gallons + 6 gallons DSI water heater? or is it 10 gallons including the 6 gallons DSI heater? thanks
First, I'm not one who owns a camper or RV but, I do enjoy watching the videos. I was surprised at the cost of such a small camper trailer. Then again, I still think a pair of jeans should cost $20! I agree with you, it looks very 'sterile', could be more 'homey' looking.
This is perfect for someone like me who travels solo to a Trap/skeet/sporting clays shooting tournament. All I need is a simple place to sleep/shower/eat.
Nice unit 👍 ...Biggest problem with super small RVs is the super tiny bathroom, or worse yet a “dry bath” this unit has an actual porcelain foot flush toilet and a bath tub!!!
Considering the cost of kitting out a custom trailer, and the time and effort, equipment etc, getting one of these is a great idea. Not sure how it does in iffy weather, but if a hurricane is coming just pack up and go.
Travel lite has a 14’ that is less than 1700 pounds. No wood in the walls or floor. Extremely well made. We can tow, fully loaded, it with our mini van. Looks so much nicer than this camper.
I towed a single axle 21' Innsbruck with my 2020 ranger. The truck did great in a 15-20mph crosswind. I don't like single axle trailers that are at the axles maximum rating. The tires where boiling in the 95° heat @ 65mph. Dry it was 3100lbs My kids show animals so we rent a camper to stay on the fairgrounds for the weekend to escape the heat and avoid travel to and from a hotel
Thanks for starting out with the specs - would like a close-up and hold on the sticker to get a good look at it. Thanks for making. Looks good for the single-traveling nomad person.
This would be absolutely perfect for me if there was a front window. I'm planning on my RV retirement adventure and going to stay at various RV resort parks and want my small compact RV to have windows on all sides.
I would add a few more windows. One over the sink. One in front. A vented peeper window in the door. And enlarge the two side windows. Add a frosted stinker window above the toilet. I would also consider going all solar electric. Remove gas entirely, place a full length flush mount solar panel on the roof. Add a high capacity lithium battery to the front. Install or at least prewire a backup or rear view camera. Add a plug up front for CPAP and electronics plug ins.
Makes a really cool day use rig for the beach, your kids sports event, etc., and maybe a quick overnighter, but I’d go nuts spending longer in this RV. However, it is the size of a van, maybe a little bigger and there are a lot of filks living full-time in vans.
I would remodel. Make a side dinette. And a full time double mattress east west. And hydrilic shock storage under bed. Maybe even dual recliners and a lagoon table . Bathroom needs accent tile and so does kitchen area . Back splash. Then over the bed storage and tall hanging type closet on the end.
Not a bad looking unit, I would have to use it as a stationary unit for something like hunting, it would be a good place to bunker down and rest for the night
Perfect size for my 4Runner. All we need is a bed, toilet, and showers. That kitchen would only get used to boil water, make coffee, like that. We do all our cooking outdoors. Only problem? That price is to high for that!
This model has been around forever, it was a stick and tin Starcraft AR One unit with the exact same interior and when Jayco acquired them they moved it over to their line. Starcraft had a hybrid variation of it with a single folding out tent bed in the rear, wished they had brought over that one too.
Looks very inexpensive. Particle board and cardboard construction. In 10 years, buy it for $3,000 and remodeling with quality components would make it a nice trailer.
I'm out on my ebike today, you know where all the campers were camping? Yep on the driveways...why the hell you'd own a bohemeth is beyond me, buy what you need for today and let tomorrow be tomorrow
I disagree, it is well made if you take care of it. The purpose is lightweight and the materials needed for a lightweight trailer are not the best materials. If you go super light then you have aluminum frames and cost go wayyyy up. Decent tires, azdel sides, led’s, good deal.
neat for maybe one or two people but our 2014 x17z jayco hybrid does so much more in the same size "box", lighter and gives so much more room and sleeping space
It's a shame this model was discontinued. It seems like most manufactures have dropped this style of floor plan. I know it's not conducive for those with families, or pets, but of those of us with neither would still consider buying something like this. Our current RV is a Sunray 109 which is 5 wide and 8 long, and we are fine with it, but we want something with a bathroom and this would be perfect.
Love Jayco trailers, but I like mine with beds, L-couch that converts to bed, and front window with bathroom sink, more storage, and 3-burner stove due to two more feet of length. Cute for size though.
Im looking for something in the least weight range and yes u r correct on the sway hitch even if its light because what u put in that thing could effect the tow in fact that thing can have a total weight of 3 thousand lbs.
I have a Starcraft 14 RB ar one which is the exact same camper owned by Jayco. There would not be enough room for you to get to the bathroom or walk if they would have put a jackknife sofa there. I have the front window which they did not include in the particular camper you showed. Although it doesn’t open it does lead in a lot of natural light.

Thats what i call the family hook-up, you got the right mindset.
Super practical for a younger person/couple to get started with.
Or an older couple empty nesters
@@dave-d-grunt I’m 58 years old and married. Both daughters are in college. I buying one!

You are better off with a Geo Pro, mine is fully loaded, 19 feet and just about the same weight for less money

Reminds me of the small trailers from 60's and 70's. Glad to see that style is doing well.
@@olebloom1641 TearDrops won’t be going out of style any time soon.
I like it. Great for a senior.

Wow! It’s actually bigger inside than outside!
That’s what she said
So it’s a TARDIS
Awesome little camper. I could live in this, not just vacation. 💜

Great little RV and great tour, thanks! That porcelain toilet shocked me too. LOL- MJ

Super cute! It offers more than I was expecting from such a small rig - porcelain commode and a tub! I really like it!
U were right on point with the jackknife sofa. It would add even more sleeping and break up the floor plan.
This is a very good video because of the discussion about weight distribution and towing capacity, etc. Things to think about as we research what type of vehicle we'll need. Thanks much for talking about the guts of this instead of just the fluff.
Small in size only, but not small in price.

You know what else is tiny. (The quality)
Fantastic utilization of space.
I like it but... a front window would make it perfect. Needs a window to give more natural light.
I purchased one of these AND that is my only complaint...you can't get a good cross breeze either .
Yes but front window are the first to leak.
@@sharongreutman4576 So what, let them leak then get them fixed.
We had one leak 3 yrs after we had it. Could tell until it rotted out the floor and ruined the camper.
@@angelabuxton2237 what did you pay?
Bought it from where?
Even tho it's small it's very cool.
Very practical, has everything you need.
That looks absolutely perfect for me, at 6 foot 6 i could use that bench as my bed and just use the other seat for storage.
Looks nice. I like the fact that it has a separate shower and toilet. Not the wet bathroom. The sleeping area/dining area could be reconfigured to where there’s a single dinet table near the window in the back or you could be a flip down bed with the curtain
Perfect for new Ford Maverick with 4K towing package.
I already have a version of this camper. I got it in 2016. It doesn’t have any drawers for silverware.
@@robertjauregui253 what’s that have to do with towing it?
I REALLY like this trailer. This unit, a half ton truck/suv and a weekend awaits! Thank you for sharing this!
Just finished a 3 1/2 week trip thru the Blue Ridge Parkway with our 17'. Got into a lot of places the the bigger rigs would have had trouble with. Size is great for wife and I.

I love it. It's perfect for my husband, my daughter, and myself.
I like this one would of love this when my husband was doing softball tournaments out of town that could last into the next day.
That would be the reason to buy this one, Margaret (except the price is silly) but not a long weekend. Way too cluttered inside making the bed every night, clearing off the table.
Just bought a 2021 model of this unit. This unit is awesome!
@jasonkolb1702 how is it holding up so far? all ok? and the fresh water is just 10 gallons? how do you manage that? Thanks
@@juliuscajilog9371 it holds up real good. I carry extra water with me. I take short showers
@jasonkolb1702 thanks for your feedback, was thinking of getting one.
@@juliuscajilog9371 they are a decent trailer. happy hunting
@@jasonkolb1702 Just to ask is the freshwater tank 10 gallons + 6 gallons DSI water heater? or is it 10 gallons including the 6 gallons DSI heater? thanks

Perfect for one person. Love it👍
This is exactly what I wanted, smol, have everything, can upgrade my tank DYI style and many more.
Nice little rv very similar to ours. Thanks for sharing.
I think it's cool for one person and a dog. I could dig it 👍
Very nice, perfect size for us
I love it!!! Not the price, but the camper is great!
Day trip to the beach? Heck, I'd take this for a weeklong camping trip!
It looks cheap. Probably better options from Rockwood Geo Pro or Flagstaff in the same class/size. Would not pay 22K for that.
I’d rather have a Casita!
We have the forest river brand . It has a wet not a dry bath.
Cheap=Jayco
its not 22k lol. their 195RB sells for 14-16k depending on what state you are in. Ignore the MSRP, they are way off.
This is perfect for someone like me who travels solo to a Trap/skeet/sporting clays shooting tournament. All I need is a simple place to sleep/shower/eat.
Nice unit 👍
...Biggest problem with super small RVs is the super tiny bathroom, or worse yet a “dry bath” this unit has an actual porcelain foot flush toilet and a bath tub!!!
That's perfect if I can could afford that that would be perfect to have to stay in. I'm in love with that size to.
Nice little RV. My opinion. A 2 person unit. I would've like if, they found a spot for a TV... Maybe a 18' flat screen over the dining table...
Nice. Good for a weekend or few day trip somewhere. 3 years away from retiring, I'll be checking it out. Thanks good review.
Considering the cost of kitting out a custom trailer, and the time and effort, equipment etc, getting one of these is a great idea. Not sure how it does in iffy weather, but if a hurricane is coming just pack up and go.

Don't let the size fool you... I wouldn't go anything less than a Ford F450 for towing it.
Peterbilt or train
@@TrevorVera Definitely Train 👍🤣
🤣
Was waiting for him to say we’d need at least a 3/4 ton to pull it
I have this same one and ive been pulling it with my honda odyssey mini van for 4yrs now no problems
That bathroom! The best!
Definitely a jack knife sofa would be much better than whatever that is "storage bench" . Thanks for the tour 👍🏻
I love Jayco products so this particular style
I had a larger Jayco for years. I find that Jayco lay outs work really will. I agree with you about the bench seat could have been better.
Cool for a Compaq R.V. It looks you have everything you need. Thanks.
Thanks for starting out with the specs - would like a close-up and hold on the sticker to get a good look at it.
Thanks for making.
Looks good for the single-traveling nomad person.
Really like these no slide small trailers. It very similar to our first trailer. We traveled 7k miles with it
For $20K, I would expect better materials. Everything looks "cheap."
Well, it is a Jayco!
Looks real cheap
In today’s market 20k is cheap. The trailers with better finishes are 5-10K higher. They are also lighter which seems a bit odd.
Built just like a Chevy 😂
I went with a premium trailer cost 35,000 new 23 ft I got it a few years old for 20 ,000 much nicer unit let someone else take the depreciation hit
I love that! It will sell well in the UK & i would buy one too. It needs a small freezer compartment thou....very important.
That's a really nice bathroom in this size. I wish these were available in Southern California.
Nice. Just what I was inquiring about for your channel. Greatly appreciate this.
Super cute!!

Full bathroom... super cool x2.
I would remodel. Make a side dinette. And a full time double mattress east west.
And hydrilic shock storage under bed. Maybe even dual recliners and a lagoon table . Bathroom needs accent tile and so does kitchen area . Back splash.
Then over the bed storage and tall hanging type closet on the end.
I really like the fact that it’s not a wet bath
Not a bad looking unit, I would have to use it as a stationary unit for something like hunting, it would be a good place to bunker down and rest for the night
This is perfect
A few more windows, and a second vent with a fantastic fan and I'm sold...
Perfect size for my 4Runner. All we need is a bed, toilet, and showers. That kitchen would only get used to boil water, make coffee, like that. We do all our cooking outdoors. Only problem? That price is to high for that!
Needs a nice big front window with an outside cover for protection.
Great unit for those just starting RV'ing or for those with a smaller tow vehicle.
Awesome floor plan for a small
Trailer. If they can put a sink on the toilet, then it would be better, so it can flush with recycle water.
I was thinking about getting a tent trailer but this would actually be perfect for my Sorento which is rated to pull 5k lbs.
This is an older layout actually with the front dinette/bed no pop out usually rear bath or side bath
Love it. Perfect for a dude like me.

Awesome deal. It would get us in an rv ahead of schedule.

Love Jayco trailers, but I like mine with beds, L-couch that converts to bed, and front window with bathroom sink, more storage, and 3-burner stove due to two more feet of length. Cute for size though.
What model do you have? I would like the features you mentiin. Please PM me.
That'd be great trailer to take off in the Hills to go hunting with for a few days
Hunters. The ultimate cowards. 👎
Love this!
Im looking for something in the least weight range and yes u r correct on the sway hitch even if its light because what u put in that thing could effect the tow in fact that thing can have a total weight of 3 thousand lbs.
The most important thing is solar panels, generators, or battery. The most often use is summer beach, air conditioner need power to run.
Maybe they should add trailers such as concession, flatbed,storage,boat etc and cool tiny city
Cool lil trailer👍
I have a Starcraft 14 RB ar one which is the exact same camper owned by Jayco. There would not be enough room for you to get to the bathroom or walk if they would have put a jackknife sofa there.

Love the size of this TT, but could configure it much friendlier for our use.
