Those bash guards are paper thin. He flexed it pulling himself under the trailer. Cheap wood supports under the seats. But the drain valve hanging below the bash plates is a no go. After looking at other comments, I saved myself trip to California or Utah to look at one.
Bash guard with a drain valve hanging below it. And gottas love that open tank that you can buy a heating pad for. Hang up and go play with golf carts or something.
Jim Needs Salesman of the Year..im a Big Airstreamer but Id Buy This bc The Under carriage is Better Made and Looks Fantastic👍🏻👍🏻😎✌🏻...Love the Openness Also
BEAUTIFUL PRODUCT AND EXCELLENT PRESENTATION ! Especially when he slid under the trailer on a mechanics creeper, I laughed! You never see that on any other trailer video. A couple questions that need clarification tho; 1) 4:40 Exterior Prep Table - It's just pulled open and pushed shut with no latches. How is it held in place? 2) 6:15 Locking Screen Door - It's explained that the lock is on the screen door, not the exterior door, it wasn't explained what secures the exterior door to the screen door, and what holds the exterior door open in place? 3) 15:30 & 16:45 All Aluminum Framing - I wont buy a trailer with wood framing 'secured' with staples, so I appreciate the aluminum with welded joints. However, my jaw dropped when the seat cushions were removed and I saw only two PINE WOOD 1x2's supporting the seat over the four batteries. How long are 1x2 furring strips going to hold up with 250# users sitting on this seat? Same thing on the rear bench, just four spindly little 1x2's for a seat twice as long. In spite of how fantastic this trailer is, attempting to support these seats with wood 1x2's is a non-starter for me. ALL of the framing for the seating should be constructed of aluminum as the rest of the trailer. I've seen other videos where the presenter claimed it had all aluminum construction - no wood. Seating structure is 'construction'. 4) Roof Material - Plenty time was spent under the unit, but nothing on the roof, sealants and how water is drained. I would appreciate a dealership response to these questions before I can consider purchasing.
Glad I found your channel! I just had way too much trouble with the crazy "special effects" on other Black Series videos. I'm here to be informed. Being entertained is secondary to my needs. I have subscribed and will check out more of your videos.
Please find a way to add double sinks. If you've lived off grid for a while you know it's a must. One sink always dedicated to washing and one sink for anything else.
You’re walkthrough is so thorough except that you never talk about the bed size or type. I know its not that important to most people but I’m currently looking for a trailer and one of my priorities is the bed.
4:16 you mention r16 insulation... would that be good enough for as cold as -50C? looking into these as a 24/7/365 mobile living space but it has to meet requirements for living in Canada's harsh winters. are there custom options? to be honest there are a few things this thing could use to make it even better.
Hi. Can’t wait to order mine probably this year. The only thumbs down is the side storage compartment doors. Made out of plastics?? Seems kind of a let down when the trailer is a beast but has plastic storage doors. Can the factory change them out if we order them? Also, I hope the fridge door can be switched to right opening??? The way it is in the video would be a pain in the neck. All in all ...... we have been looking to upgrade our camper and have searched for three years. This is the one!!!! Excited!!!!
Why wouldn't you guys have placed the awning over the outdoor kitchen or made the awning a bit larger to cover the kitch? I don't wanna cook in the rain! lol
The HQ21 is a nice unit,but unfortunately I can only give it a 4/5 rating. Why? Two main reasons: 1. The refrigerator door should open the other way around. Why does it open to the bathroom/bedroom? It should open to the kitchen/cooking area. 2. Too small. I'm 6'6" tall. If this had higher ceilings I could even overlook the refrigerator door issue. As it is, I'd be hunched over all the time in one of those. It's a shame, too. It's definitely one of the nicest setups that I've seen... Bar none.
This is bigger then hq19 but you lost the washing machine there is not that much storage there is something hiding behind any big storage space also there is no generator so all your getting is a bigger dinette and a split bath that’s in the kitchen
@@sportsguy2891 I agree, I dont understand seating for five adults with sleeping for two and two children. Id prefer smaller dinette and more storage for food and clothing
The HQ19 washing machine is very good, and the generator is also very important for dry camping. HQ21 is bigger which is good, but the lack of the above functions is not good
The only thing that discourages me is the black water tank on the side where you will gather and chill.. the HQ21 (2021) I like very much because your general water,gray and black and your fresh water are all on the other side where it's not an eye sore when you're at a K.O.A or hooked up to a shore line and your sewer
Overall, it looks ok. A few concerns though. First, that aluminum skin on the exterior and the exterior compartment doors and latches look extremely flimsy. Next, the battery compartment looks like it isn't vented to the exterior, meaning all of those fumes from the batteries are going into the living space. Also the gas lines look like cheapo rubber hose with hose clamp fittings and there doesn't appear to be a propane gas leak detector in the living space anywhere.
Justin N -I just got on here and seems everything is good to go until I saw your comments and started thinking as I watched the rest of it then said yeah this is a problem! Good looking out .
During the table review with lifting the cushions exposing the batteries, charger, and storage area, the wooden cross beams seem to be quite small. More information concerning weight limits placed on those please. Materials used for inside the cushions? Memory Foam?
High Definition TV Antenna explained well. Is there a Satellite TV Application available? Also solar panels on the roof, unless I missed it I did not see this covered. Thank you.
Yes, this unit does come standard with 2x 150watt solar panels. Our units come standard with the HD TV antenna's, however if you wish to change it out you would have to discuss any modifications with a dealership.
Design flaw?? Talks about "bash/skid plate" then drain valve is sticking out lower then plate, once again a designer that never has used the equipment. 40:47
good ole american know how take a perfectly good design and F it up this thing is snag city underneath, the HQ19 is or was completely snag proof, roomier all around better, this clown slid right by anything relatable to the HQ19 what a joke
You do very good reviews of all the features of your products but you need to show a full exterior view and a similar scan of the interior as we have no idea what the overall exterior or interior looks like. I think this would help draw customers to your products.
this is not a fulltime trailer..it is for boon docking and camping, remember this is from Australia, a lot different mentality and will appeal to those of us who want a more capable trailer, so storage is not going to be what you want.
Plan on trading in my trailer in the future and have a few questions/requests. Is the roof walkable and is there an option for a 3 way 12v compressor refrigerator? Will there be a slide out option for the dining area? Thanks!
We don't recommend you hanging out on the roof with the potential to damage the solar panels. When it comes to any customizations, it would be up to your dealership to make modifications. At this moment we do not offer a slid out options.
Awesome video! Can the 2020 Trail Boss LT 5.3 tow the 2020 Black Series HQ-21? The Silverado rating for towing says max 9400lbs but the HQ-21 says it's dry weight 6122lbs but gross weight 10000lbs What do you think?
@@BLACKSERIESUS I called you guys up and the girl I talked to didnt know for sure. Can you tell me who can I talk to about this because I can NOT buy it unless I know for sure. My truck can only tow 9400 lbs MAX. Thanks!
Yes you can but you would need to be careful with how much cargo you bring. 9,400 pound tow rating minus 6,122 leaves you a maximum payload of 3,278. That includes tongue weight, people/fuel/stuff in the tow vehicle, and the weight of everything you put in the trailer including fluids. I would personally not load to max with that type of hitch.2 people probably easily doable by keeping an eye on your weights, more than that and you are probably pushing it.
Hinges for the fridge/freezer should be on the other side. Nobody wants to walk away from the sink/stove to get something from the fridge and have to close the fridge just to get back to the sink. In addition, you can’t close off the bedroom via the sliding door if you need to access the fridge…. No way to navigate around the fridge door to get your food out.
With regards to the refrigerator, I'm hearing on other reviews that the fridge "likes to be level". Yes I can understand that, but am curious can it be pre loaded, used during transport to your desired location allowing your food to be frozen & chilled or am I having to resort to coolers until we arrive to desired location and level out the trailer?
Ahh... having the thermostat right above the heater and vent will cause short cycling and ineffective heater function. The thermostat needs to be about 5’ away from the vent. This is a no brained.
The HQ21 can sleep 4 people. As for pricing, all of our pricing goes through our dealerships. Here is the link to our dealership page. www.blackseriescamper.com/rv-dealers.html
All the things that matter are done right, sound, lighting, product presentation etc... My only critique is if you're going to do a fade cut every 30 seconds drop the ear to ear grin...
In Utah over the phone quoted me 56,000 for the series 19. And to add the weather package to cover the pipes and wrapped the tanks, the price went up to 62,800.
Great video... You have your refrigerator doors opening the wrong way, though. Order the fridge doors to open to the kitchen area.
Jim does a great job with his tours! Love that there are breakers rather than fuses. The interior finishes are beautiful!
Jim, you found one of your callings. Great job getting people excited & impressed about the Black Series Campers.
This camper is nicer on the inside than many luxury models.
OMG Jim just sold me ! I love it ! Starting a fan club for mr. Big …

I don't know if you are a Jarhead or not but ooh rah!!! I love the haircut
Can't wait to check out in person.
The only problem I see in this unit is the fridge door opening the wrong way would it not be better to open towards the kitchenette??
What's the power draw for all the lighting? How much and how long can I run on those 4 AGM batteries? Also is their a solar roof option?
I'd like to see a walkthrough of the HQ22T
Yeah I would really love that as well. They don't have much info on it though. I think it's still under development or something.
Curious as to which leveler is recommended for the HQ 21
Can you please do a set up video for this?
Nice unit. Love the walk thru. Great video.

Whats the temperature rating for these trailers ? And how good is the insulation on them ?

If big boi can maneuver around in that unit then there is some hope for me.
This guy went through a to z. 👍
Agreed
Awesome 👍🤘❤❤❤
REALLY COOL I LIKE IT !
Can the way the fridge doors open be changed to open on other side? The way it’s set up in this video it would be a real pain to get into.
Agree
Agree, Dometic makes that same size fridge that can open from either side. seen it in other campers.
Great unit. But you didn't show the bed in bedroom and sleeping area space in bedroom.
33:55
Great Presentation. Will Be in Touch Absolutely. Luxury Plus Well thought out Plan
Latches and hinges are PROP-Errr
Love the overall package but those 1x2 stringers under the seats ... I don't think so.
Very detailed vid. I am very interested in one of these. Perfect for getting away and down off the beaten path.
The fridge doors open the wrong way ...unbelievable!
Why wouldn't you guys have placed the awning over the outdoor kitchen or made the awning a bit larger to cover the kitch? I don't wanna cook in the rain! lol
Nice to see the improvements👍
Why does the ref/freezer open to the wrong direction?
Will you be at the 2021 Tampa show? And msrp 16k hello I’m buying one if y’all are at the show
Are Lithium batteries available,? What about additional solar panels?
We don't offer those upgrades through us, however, you can try contacting our dealerships they might be able to assist.
Great video but I'm 6'2, so this is a nice way to compare other possible trailers that have the same build.
What other trailers are built like this? I’ve been searching for a really tough built one but more room so I can live in it.
Niceeeeeeeeeee gotta love it.
can you still add a sway hitch? Doesn't look like enough room .....wouldn't need offroad just at highway speeds
The HQ21 is a nice unit,but unfortunately I can only give it a 4/5 rating. Why? Two main reasons:
1. The refrigerator door should open the other way around. Why does it open to the bathroom/bedroom? It should open to the kitchen/cooking area.

Can you please change the fridge doors? Its on the wrong side of the kitchen.
This is bigger then hq19 but you lost the washing machine there is not that much storage there is something hiding behind any big storage space also there is no generator so all your getting is a bigger dinette and a split bath that’s in the kitchen

Yeah, there needs to a hd23 that takes mixes the best features of the hq19 and hq21.
No enclosed and heated underbelly for this price!?

great trailer, just needs a closet or somemore storage options inside other than that its great
Maybe add a roof rack?! Black mesh style like the door?
Design flaw?? Talks about "bash/skid plate" then drain valve is sticking out lower then plate, once again a designer that never has used the equipment. 40:47
@P Funk Or it could snap right off emptying the tank maybe.

Built-in washer from the 19 removed in the 21?
I had the same question,
Is it north ready like NewEngland cold ready ? Is it wood frame or aluminum also ?
Hi, what is the price of this unit with a winter package?
Hi, what trim do you put on top of the checker plate?
uh you covered the panel of the light not the sensor, at first.
It will be nice to see how they deal with the North American market with trailers with slide outs.
I'd love a walk thru of an HQ21 that has the incinerating toilet... and a larger fresh water tank in lieu of a black water tank.
Generally speaking without the dealer discounts what are the prices on the 21. And 19?
Maybe nice in the future how's your trailer made.
awesome rv, big question how much?
Expensive
Around 80,000.00
Soooo... i am assuming there are no people above 6' tall in Australia?
Can these units be towed by heavy 1/2 ton trucks. Like a Z71 halfton Chevy.
It would depend on your vehicles towing capacity. The HQ21 has a GVWR of 10,000Lbs.
Wow, super HOT. And the camper too 😉

did we get a price on this HQ21???
Is this unit really built in China? What portion is built in Australia?
Do any of the black series campers have king size beds?
At this time all of our HQ series have about the size of a queen bed, however, the C12 does have a bed that is just about the size of king bed.
Any way to get a 60inch tv in the master.Dean lol
They could of put a 10 gallon water heater, bigger fresh water, and just a closet for extra storage and this would be perfect

Ahh... having the thermostat right above the heater and vent will cause short cycling and ineffective heater function. The thermostat needs to be about 5’ away from the vent. This is a no brained.
I love the trailers but the refrigerator doors open the wrong way. You have to step into the bedroom to open the refrigerator. Should be reversed
I like this guy's 'high and tight' !!!
This is the flagship. I noticed they are already getting cheap. The doors on earlier models had full piano hinges, this has smaller cheaper hinges.
It’s nice trailer but why could not get it in aus sydney
You would have to double check with our Australia locations. Here is their website for contact blackseriescampertrailers.com.au/caravans/hq21.html
can it be customized like increased dimensions? (taller, wide, longer?)
At this time we don't offer these kind of modifications.
@@BLACKSERIESUS but is it likely to happen?
@@celsolicupiii7974 Not at this time.
Anti sway devices available for the front of the trailer?

I dont see the point of wrapping the pipes for water/black and grey when the tanks are exposed. For the price it should have a enclosed belly.
Marketing over engineering.
In Utah over the phone quoted me 56,000 for the series 19. And to add the weather package to cover the pipes and wrapped the tanks, the price went up to 62,800.
Refrigerator opens the wrong way. Should not open towards to the bedroom but towards the kitchen.
Where is your location?
Hi, you guys have a dealer here in Canada?!
Stay tuned for Canada, we are working to enter that market very soon. However, until then our USA dealership sell to our Canadian customers as well.
