You need to do this forever. Everytime I hear about a new RV and I want a review or walk through on it, youre the first place I look to see if there's a video on it.
I have this version in a 2022 model... I'm going camping next week for the first time. I can not wait!! This camper has it all and the small form factor. I am towing this with a Subaru Ascent SUV. I've done a dry test tow and it did great! Beyond excited for this year of camping!
Hope you have a great time! If our videos were helpful to you then I would love it if you could drop my name in a quick review at www.bishs.com/review-us-coldwater-mi/
@@JoshtheRVNerd I dropped you a " Great " review you have taught me alot over the past year and a half on RVs and always answer my questions! Thank you Josh! I left a question on here I have a Toyota Tacoma TRD sport would it be able to tow the 296 model and this one ?
Idk what it is about these and the A-frame campers but I love these more than a huge camper. Maybe it’s just how simple things are? lol love it all. Trying to find a good one with shower.
Josh I noticed this one don't have the folding couch by the king bed like the 296 model is that the difference in these two models ? Does the 296 still have the couch
Wait, did you say twin axles? On a pop up? These things have come a long since the last time I camped in one, but twin axles is something I never even considered in this class.
@@apolloorosco6852 Here's a push/pull on tandem vs. single axle *BENEFITS INCLUDE:* Less wiggle when towing and less bouncing front to back. Easier to maintain control if a tire goes flat for any reason *DRAWBACKS INCLUDE:* Heavier, more expensive Everything is a push/pull. We try to give you as much unbias and transparent information as we can so you know we're a good place to work with.

Do they, or anyone, make a smaller size pop-up that's also a high-wall? I was thinking something like that 806, that just has one bed. Because that would be pretty cool. I know it might put the price up nearer to the big ones, but what an awesome trailer that would be. Just thinking out loud Mr. Winters, it happens when my prescriptions run out and it's the holidays and my doctor is not around to send in a refill. It's also the best time for painting.
Not that I've seen. If I had to guess as to why the cost of the build would basically land at the same price as something like a small enclosed travel trailer with similar features. While the popup would weigh less given the choice most folks likely opt for the enclosed camper. Love crazy ideas though!
@@JoshtheRVNerd I know financially it would make no sense, and you might get one person out of 100 that thought it was a good idea. But wouldn't it be cool?
Really depends on the vehicle. Shooting from the Hip? I'd say something like "if the loaded weight of the camper is less than half your tow rating, then don't worry about it. If it's less than 75%, then consider it. Beyond that you'll likely want them." A lot of it simply boils down to personal comfort. I know this -- You'd never regret having the stability of the extra hitching, but you might regret NOT having it.
@@DewDrinker87 I want to say a 2" ball... but sometimes Rockwood will surprise you like that. I would have to check and am working remotely currently. We have a limited number of staff members at the store would could eyeball it for us. You're welcome to reach out to our team at www.haylettautoandrv.com/contact/ and give them a little time if you're looking for an answer sooner than later.

I totally DISAGREE with the bathroom statement. The bathroom is the reason I chose mine. We LIVE (full-time) in our popup, and we couldn't live without it. The 2021 models DO NOT come with the hard side bathroom. In the day of Covid19, more people want to have there own bathrooms, and will be using them more than ever. I just can't understand why Forest River would remove this feature. A company should never remove features only increase & add on. This was purely a revenue move because the price point has not dropped at all, yet people will be receiving less. Bad move in my opinion. And for those that are wondering, YES, you can live full-time in a popup. I am in the south. We have cold nights, but with the furnace, reflectix on all sides, and oil heater we stay warm as a bug in a rug. When bad storms come we let it down, and stay in a hotel for a night or two. We are as large or larger than many "mini's" out there.
"Price Control" may be a more appropriate phrasing. Raw material costs have doubled in some cases (like copper) from when this video was first published. Hard decisions are sometimes required to keep price points in line with consumer expectations.
Even if you DID actually use it as a baby hammock, and they happened to topple out - they would land on that nice , comfy heated mattress. So no big deal. But my babies are both bigger than me now, so I would keep my whiskey bottle in the baby hammock, where it would safe & comfortable. All silliness aside, if you wanted a tent trailer, why wouldn't you buy a high-wall model like this? I can see the appeal of it, but the setup/teardown effort is a no go for us.
The cream of the market has definitely risen to the top. As the market has shifted to enclosed trailers this segment of the market has certainly seen a reduction in offerings. Oddly.. we've stayed extremely consistent with them year after year holding our ranking as the largest volume folding camper dealer for the last 4 or 5 years with roughly the same number of them sold year over year.
Yeah, I think they can’t be beat for folks in HOA governed neighborhoods with rules against RVs and who also don’t want to pay storage fees. This sucker can be tucked into a garage for safe keeping out of view for FREE.
We’ll have that listed for you at www.haylettautoandrv.com/inventory/?keyword=Hw277 if we have one on hand. otherwise our team at 800-256-5196 can get you figures either for incoming restocks or personal build requests!

I use the toilet portion of our “shoilet” in our pop-up every trip {#1}

@@davenstorm7271 Yeah I can't see how that vehicle wouldn't be a solid pairing for one of these.
I just bought a 2020 Flagstaff hw27ks its just like that one and I love it
Idk what it is about these and the A-frame campers but I love these more than a huge camper. Maybe it’s just how simple things are? lol love it all. Trying to find a good one with shower.
That's why we carry so many different things -- they all have that one special quality!
A likely candidate for our next PUP upgrade.
After my surgery it's on my bucket list it would look good at East lake fish camp
In FLA
What would the cost be for the highball and are they avail in Canada
Josh I noticed this one don't have the folding couch by the king bed like the 296 model is that the difference in these two models ? Does the 296 still have the couch
The 296 has the sofa yes. It’s a slightly bigger model overall
@@JoshtheRVNerd ok cool Josh could a Toyota Tacoma TRD sport pull either one of these models the 296 or this one ?
We are torn between this and a HW296, The twin axles are the main selling point for the HW296 though to be honest.
Both have their good points, don't they?
Wait, did you say twin axles? On a pop up? These things have come a long since the last time I camped in one, but twin axles is something I never even considered in this class.
What are the benefits of twin axle?

@@theeaselrider4032 100%
Can u sleep in it in the snow
How big is the refrigerator? I tried to find the size on the Forest River site but they only list is as "mid size"
About 2cu ft
I think it's technically 1.7
That sure is cozy camping.
Would a ford ranger or Chevy s10 be able to tow it with proper engine.
Yeah I was told package I think you’d be good
@@JoshtheRVNerd Thank you Josh.
Is a WD hitch or sway control bar necessary for these?
Really depends on the vehicle.
Shooting from the Hip? I'd say something like "if the loaded weight of the camper is less than half your tow rating, then don't worry about it. If it's less than 75%, then consider it. Beyond that you'll likely want them."

Haylett RV I just bought a new 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat 2WD which I believe has a 7500 lb tow rating
Haylett RV Good Advice, one other question is what size hitch ball do these HW tent campers take

How tall is the camper without the air conditioner?
I do not know as it’s standard and we do not have one on hand to measure
This would be awesome to tow behind our motorhome if our kids wanted to join us😃
Better idea: Tell them to visit Haylett RV to get their own! LOL
@@JoshtheRVNerd lol🤣😂
Interesting. NEVER have I seen ANYONE using a motorhome to tow a pop up trailer. Seems redundant in purpose.

Some people want a travel trailer when they get there, but don't want to tow a travel trailer on the way.
excellent video, where can i view msrp ?

Seems pop ups are dying off as I can only find Forest River brands producing them for the most part. Other brands seem to be bailing on the concept.
The cream of the market has definitely risen to the top. As the market has shifted to enclosed trailers this segment of the market has certainly seen a reduction in offerings.

How does this pop up campers doing in the winter over belong 0 ?
No popup is rated for that kind of use "out of the box"
Haylett RV thank you. Good to know pop ups are not all seasons 👍🏽
Hey josh do you know the holding tank specs on this unit?
I do not actually. Oddly they dont publish it for these...
What's is the price on this pop up camper,
We’ll have that listed for you at www.haylettautoandrv.com/inventory/?keyword=Hw277 if we have one on hand. otherwise our team at 800-256-5196 can get you figures either for incoming restocks or personal build requests!
You can also see updated footage of this model at m.th-cam.com/video/t7iwplh6qao/w-d-xo.html
What is the price???????
Sold our currently but have more on the way. Team at 800-256-5196 can answer pricing for you!
I want to by two trailers so I can spoil myself with all options. :)
We find your proposal agreeable. lol
What is the width of the trailer?
These have 7ft wide bodies
Could have called it a pop up banana hammock. 😂 😂
2 beds equals a king banana hammock and a queen banana hammock
That's it. That's the one. This is the new official name of the popup over-bed baby hammock McDeluxe 3700 series.
Haylett RV 👍 🍌
I’m surprised it’s not aluminum framed
Their A-Frames are laminated and aluminum framed, but not their conventional tent campers or highwalls
A two year lifetime tops .your payments will last longer than the trailer .
I WANT ONE HOW MUCH $$$$$$$$$$$ ???????
Answers right here! bit.ly/2OPwMF6
It’s Sisters on the Fly. Not girls
On the fly 😂
I grew up watching In Living Color with my older brother. I think the "Fly Girls" was likely rattling around the back of my head lol
