Hello, we just got sent this review from our friends at Longhaul! Thanks for the detailed and unbiased review, and we're glad you enjoyed your time in it...and good news: we're going to be updating the colour palette for the interior of our 2025 models!
@@DayHikerFromTheSix I do like the color scheme. I do agree that an outside door leading to storage is needed. Overall, a decent trailer that one person could spend a prolonged period of time traveling.
I have been looking at smaller, lighter, easier trailers, and after seeing your ALTO -- and then finding your site and Playlist here -- has not only helped me -- It might actually help my mom to find something for her ... Something she can handle on her own ---- #tinyhome We both live in colder climates so campers that can handle that is a HUGE bonus. The ones that can be pulled by a subaru or a Honda Pilot type car make both of us feel better -- Thank you!
Glad you liked the Alto review - it's a great trailer for someone looking for something easy to tow, as are most of the trailers we show on our channel. Just keep in mind that most are 3 season campers! Hope we can help you narrow it down and find the right camper. Thanks for watching!
The floorplan is nearly identical to the mid-70's Serro Scotty 18' "Trunkback" model I had many years ago. It even had the storage over the rear bed that would fold down to create a bunk -- we stored our bedding there during the day. We slept five in ours, the 4 & 6-year-olds on the bunk and 1-year-old on the dinette. It even had the square bumper to store the sewer hose. We pulled with a Chevy Astro. Nice looking update!
Like it. Color is exactly what I would want updated. Long in tooth was a great way to say it. I like it. Yes I could easily camp in that especially with your awesome canopy with the bug netting. Definitely could camp with that set up.
Glad you enjoyed it 😀 We recently heard from the manufacturer that the 2025 new models will have an updated colour interior. We're excited to see it. Thanks for watching!
Appreciate the walk-through, this unit would work great for those with cars, small trucks and minivans. I like the once piece roof. I would appreciate a heavier and longer and wider floor plan on this. The fold down bunk is really clever. When you started this video I was ready to roast you here in the comments section, but dang yeah it probably can sleep 5 or 6 if it's too smaller kids. The only issue I have is the price. For $5,000 USD more we picked up a 2023 Ibex 19MBH. Granted, our Audi Q7 hated pulling it and we had to buy a 2500 diesel to drag it around but it sleeps 5 of us moderately well. For the specs, it really needs to be 8-10,000 USD less for it to be a real option. The tank sizes are tiny, but we could even make due with that.
Thank you for the feedback! I hear you on the price but keep in mind that what you're paying on a small trailer with great features, you save on having to buy a new vehicle to tow it. Thanks for watching!
Really like that it’s shown at such a nice location. That place looks really fun! I like the overall size. Not so big it’s hard to get around but big enough to enjoy.. giggity
We bought a new to us 2017 Evasion. It replaced our boler. Love the flexibility of the ways it can be setup, most of the time it is just the 2 of us, but have taken w grandkids with us and there is lots of room. Price, yes is abit higher then other campers in the class, but none had this versatile layout.
Yes it’s one of my favourite floorplans that I’ve seen in the small trailer market. Enjoy camping with the grandkids…it’s one of the best things life has to offer!
I would have liked to see more of the undercarriage, to see how sturdy it is built, being only 1900lbs what shortcuts were taken that might surface later on in the camper's lifespan??
A fair comment, I’m making a point to film under all rigs on the channel now. Not being an Prolite owner, I can’t share any personal experience, but I have observed on the Facebook group a lot of very aged trailers that are still going strong. Like most rigs, I suspect if you take care of it, it will take care of you!
Great video!..We looked at the Prolites a few years back and decided on a Tab NuCamp 320... Why, because the build quality was superior to a comparable Prolite...we also thought the future resale value would be better.. We also tow with a Toyota Venza and find it a great tow vehicle! .
I would need to see more of the trailer on the inside. Put the camera at one end of the camper, so we can see all the way through it. It does look like a nice camper.
looks like a really nice product. I have to agree that the color scheme looks about 20 years old...but other than that, it is a really nice small trailer without a doubt. Prolite must be doing something right as I am seeing these units all over the place lately. Great review.
Nice review and you’re dead on with the interior decor being blasé and the front door slamming open . Also investing in a better sleeping mattress seems like a good idea also . I prefer full shades and even blackout windows for those who like the nightlife of camping and sleep late . Curtains are horrible for keeping the morning sun out . Also I didn’t see a place for a TV for those bad weather days . But again , let’s talk about the real winner in this video . That wonderful outdoor mosquito net ! 😅 thanks 🙏
Nice trailer.. I don't like the color of the shower walls which looks like mildew (!) but not a bad item for the weight and a couple who go out and about 3-4 times a year.
I had a Prolite trailer some years ago. Living in the high desert the shell had deamination. Value went way down in less than a year. Then it was stolen. I got more than it cost from insurance.
They should have put on screens and shades like the tab and the ability to close those cupboards wo adding weight. Cheap products used for weight but I think they could do better. Good show, man.
I will be building a trailer this spring. Using a popup trailer frame($200.00). 7’ x 14’. About $1500-1800 for framing/skin(marine plywood). $1000 for commercial windows/door. A couple of marine deep cycle batteries. Wired with power strips on each end, ceiling exhaust fan. A few lights. If I splurge on some stuff, I don’t think Icould go over $5000…….
Confused about how you ran the a/c without electricity hookup. I guess the battery? how long with the battery last? nice trailer though, and good video. Looks like a nice place too.
Without electricity hookups you have to run the AC off of your battery and solar panels. Keep in mind that up here in Canada we don't always need AC, that's why AC on this trailer is optional. Thanks for watching!
I would change out the microwave do use them. I would have a mattress on the back all the time bed made down. A smaller dinette would be better suited for my wife & myself. I would also get the bigger fridge unit that you showed. I would also get ride of the above the rear bed mattress just use that fold down bed unit as storage for clothing etc. Other than that this trailer would be perfect for my wife & myself.
Maybe one of their smaller models would be better suited for you! In any case, you could opt for no microwave, a bigger fridge and never put down the top bunk and just use it always for storage. It's a great couple's trailer. Thanks for watching!
Good review on this trailer and I can see where they can keep the price low on this with some of the cabinetry and no sink in the wet bath or the toilet paper holder like you were saying. Definitely needed. And if you ever get to Arizona, Phoenix area, I'll turn you on to a nice ice cold Coors Light. Much better taste than the Heineken beer. 😅
I have the 16', 1640 lb Prolite Profil model; very similar to the Evasion. Some cons would be those plastic latch catches, crack then break; I replaced them with magnetic catches instead. Much better now. Another con is the use of a single AGM battery; I replaced that with dual 100AH LiFePO4 batteries which were inexpensive, lighter and far better capacity versus the single AGM. Yes, my kitchen window uses the blinds; one broke during travel and will look at installing a new set later in 2025. Biggest con was the Dometic 3-way frig would not cool the frig down using propane. Can you imagine a frig that warms up overnight when outside was low 50s? Fortunately, *I* found a solution. Pros would be its: lightweight stability interior height *Dry* bathroom, yes *dry*. ability to adapt the bunk bed for storage lots of storage, except for hanging clothes For the same cost, GeoPro offer a 19 foot model with far more interior space but it is heavier.
As a 4 decade RV owner I appreciate small lightweight campers👍but unfortunately, my days of paying $40,000 for nothing more than an uncomfortable “1950’s diner” booth dinette and a barely usable wet bath are over☹️
I’m new to the rv world. I’m curious why the interior design and aesthetic seems stuck in the 70s,80s, 90s for so many trailers and RVs. I’m a bit surprised that the interior aesthetics haven’t kept up with the market and the times. Any good options for light trailers that have a more updated feel inside? Genuinely curious. I am in love with Safari Condos, but the price tag is hard to stomach.
I’d say most trailers on our channel have fairly up to date interiors. Re the ones that are old fashioned, part of it is manufacturers trying to create a cabin vibe, & part of it is cost. You’ll be happy to know Prolite left a comment saying they are updating their interior soon! My favourite interior this far is from Intech. The Sol model we reviewed in Florida was like a stunning bachelor apartment. Thanks for watching!
It’s a climb. Our trailer has a similar bunk with no ladder and the kids have no problem getting up there. For me it’s a bit tougher, but in this trailer it’s only for lighter folks anyway. Thanks for watching!
maybe i could leave the bunk down to use for storage, as i am short and wouldn't perhaps hit my head on the underside of the bunk standing up from the dinette. I"m only 4'10 you see!
Yes they do. Check out our other Prolite video where we show other models without the bunk bed. And check their website: they have a ton of other floorplans. Thanks for watching!
How tall are you? I have a Winnebago Minnie drop with a wet bath and the shower is nonsense. I'm 5' 4" my husband is 6' 1". We had to move the shower head over to the outside wall to stop bumping our face in it. At the 9:04 min. mark you are sitting at a table with BIRD CRAP all over it, Why? The bed in mine is like yours but it's a short queen, this one looks a bit narrow. I cannot make the bed well. Too hard to pull the corners up for the sheet. I prefer sheets not sleeping bags. The fridge is like mine, too small a freezer. We saved money by buying a lot of our food when traveling from NH to Yellowstone. Love the area you are camping in although it's dry camping. We've boondocked a few times in the past 4 years with our little Winnie. We are looking for a slightly bigger camper since storage is a problem and I've had it with the shower. We also don't close the bathroom door, but the wet shower curtain gets annoying when it clings. Just normal growing pains. Happy Trails to you!
I'm 6' and as you can see had room to spare in the shower. Just to clarify, this is not our trailer. As I mentioned at the beginning of the video, we rented it to do the walkthrough. If you are looking to switch to another RV, we highly recommend renting the one you have in mind prior to buying so you can see how it meets your needs. Happy Camping 😀 Thanks for watching!
I rarely see foxes just show up like that. Really like the simplicity and flexibility of this camper. I would say a trail manor 2518kb would still beat this when it comes to towability and sleeping capacity.
Prolites are only made in Canada. There are several US made lightweight trailers…check out our full playlist of walkthroughs th-cam.com/play/PLc6Joo_5aacqfqJEhGLtNxT5oK7LtsZ_1.html. Thanks for watching!
I would like to see the GVWR and the towing rating of your vehicle. Most people don’t factor the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating which is more important, in my humble opinion, to the dry weight as it includes the propane tank and all items required for camping. Over all good job on the video.
I agree with you about color and I noticed the bathroom did not have waterproof material. Needs a screen door, thicker cushions for comfort. Maybe they make one for 2 people. The fox needed no mention. That was great.
You have $40,000 is crazy. You should see what you could get for 40,000 here in the United States! You could get what would be considered a trailer mansion
It’s 40k Canadian, you can subtract 30ish per cent for US prices. As trailers get lighter, you can expect to pay a premium. But being able to tow with a car saves a huge amount of money over the life of the trailer. Thanks for watching!
Right off the get...I gotta say I have a big problem with the chinsy awning as an awning is one of the important primary features of any camping all the way back to medieval times. Having an awning one can only use in good weather defects it's purposeq as much camping experiences both rain plus windy days. This one is cheap material and poles that will sag and fail. This has to be put in leaving your possession wet, stuck inside by no ability to shake off rain before entering or step out to cook...though $40000k! Even old canvas tents had a solid, pitched awning that was heavy duty enough not to shake and tear in wind. Secondly saying the seams won't leak because of continuous roll while know humidity still delaminates that material instead of the over the under fiberglass clamshell pod this should be done in at a $$$$40,000k price tag.
Awning style windows. Not a fan. Here's why. A few years back a coworkers son cut his shoulder open on a sharp edge of the awning style window. I prefer sliders. Similar to home. Size, sleeping accommodations looks good. Bed separate from dining area. Wet bath is sufficient for my wife n I.
Hola saludos desde Costa Rica. Está bastante bonito el remolque, lo que más me agrada es el tamaño y el peso, además que la distribución es perfecta. Me gustaría saber cuál es el precio en dólares americanos. Gracias quedo atento.
Always best to check the manufacturer’s website…currently showing $37,190 CDN plus $499 in fees, but as you know prices can change 😀. Thanks for watching!
Once I saw that there was no counter space and a flip up was the only way to improvise for space, I tuned out of the video. I don’t like the price for it only having a wet bathroom.
Not a fan of awning style windows. The reason is I saw a young man, who was not paying attention, walk into one. Result was torn flesh on his shoulder and a broken window. Nope I'll take slider windows over awning.
The dry unloaded tongue weight was at the very start of the video. Just keep in mind that this is a changing number depending on how much and where you load the trailer with cargo, water, and waste water. Thanks for watching!
Hello, we just got sent this review from our friends at Longhaul! Thanks for the detailed and unbiased review, and we're glad you enjoyed your time in it...and good news: we're going to be updating the colour palette for the interior of our 2025 models!
Glad to hear it…thanks for letting us know. Can’t wait to see the new colours! And thanks for making RV camping feasible for us car owners!

I would for sure camp in this unit with my cat, and I know I can tow it with my vehicle. Thanks for the showing!
We are glad you enjoyed it 😀 Thanks for watching!
This is a nice enough unit for weekend excursions
👍 Thanks for watching!

It sounds like it took you down the memory lane! Happy camping 😀 Thanks for watching!
Been there done that👍but isn’t it kinda sad that nothing has changed or been improved in the 50 years since😂
I liked the simplicity and good open space and agree it’s outdated in finishes. Thanks for the video. It sure is beautiful there
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀 We just heard from the manufacturer that they will be updating the colour pallets for the 2025 models 👍 Thanks for watching!
Love it! This would be perfect for my needs!
Glad you enjoyed it 😃 Thanks for watching!
Me too. My small car would tow that! Just the hills would be a struggle lol
Like it. Color is exactly what I would want updated. Long in tooth was a great way to say it. I like it. Yes I could easily camp in that especially with your awesome canopy with the bug netting. Definitely could camp with that set up.

Nice camper! Like the layout, design and set-up.
Glad you enjoyed it 😀 Thanks for watching!
Outstanding for a senior couple like us! We have a diesel Chevrolet equinox , what a pair they would make!!
Glad you enjoyed it 😀 Thanks for watching!
I really like this one. I've been shopping around and all the others are more expensive. Good review.
Glad you liked it! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Looks like you had a big range of weather while you were there 😉 thanks for showing us this model!!
The weather was wild!! Thanks for watching!
Definitely would love to see them take more trailers out in "non summer" weather so we know. Love to find more models that can handle Montana winters!

@@DayHikerFromTheSix yeah spot on!
perfect for solo...to family camping!
True! Thanks for watching!
Like it. Nice floor plan with all essentials and light weight. A bit pricey, but hopefully, you get what you paid for.
True! For a trailer of this size, this is a great floorplan. Thanks for watching!
Really like that it’s shown at such a nice location. That place looks really fun!
I like the overall size. Not so big it’s hard to get around but big enough to enjoy.. giggity
Glad you enjoyed it 😀 This is at Pog Lake in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. Thanks for watching!
great, realistic video without too much talking.
Glad you liked it! 😀 Thanks for watching!
Love windows! The more the better! Wish there was one in the bathroom too! Would add AC too!
Glad you enjoyed it 😀 If you like windows checkout the walkthrough of our own Safari Condo Alto R1723. Thanks for watching!
Nice layout! They keep the dinette!
👍 Thanks for watching!
We bought a new to us 2017 Evasion. It replaced our boler.
Love the flexibility of the ways it can be setup, most of the time it is just the 2 of us, but have taken w grandkids with us and there is lots of room.

Really a fantastic review and tour. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Nice camper, we had a couples camper for several years.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
or rather the couch position sorry, got turned around in your tour! so nice!
Cheers!
What a lot of stuff in a small, light package. Really looks like what I'm looking for. Thanks for the full review!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 😀 Thanks for watching!
I would have liked to see more of the undercarriage, to see how sturdy it is built, being only 1900lbs what shortcuts were taken that might surface later on in the camper's lifespan??
A fair comment, I’m making a point to film under all rigs on the channel now. Not being an Prolite owner, I can’t share any personal experience, but I have observed on the Facebook group a lot of very aged trailers that are still going strong. Like most rigs, I suspect if you take care of it, it will take care of you!
Thank you for the Great video. Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀 Thanks for watching!
Great video!..We looked at the Prolites a few years back and decided on a Tab NuCamp 320... Why, because the build quality was superior to a comparable Prolite...we also thought the future resale value would be better.. We also tow with a Toyota Venza and find it a great tow vehicle! .
Glad you enjoyed it 😀 The Tab's are great quality trailers. Check out our walkthroughs of the Tab320 and Tab400. Thanks for watching!
Nice tent
It beats a tent having a mini house on wheels 😀 Thanks for watching!
I would need to see more of the trailer on the inside. Put the camera at one end of the camper, so we can see all the way through it. It does look like a nice camper.
Unfortunately, I don't have the camper available any more to film...but, there is plenty of video and a 360 degree viewer on the Prolite website!
Very nice demo, I like it.
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
Appreciate the video. Totally in love with this. AWESOME!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀 Thanks for watching!

Also I didn’t see a place for a TV for those bad weather days . But again , let’s talk about the real winner in this video .
That wonderful outdoor mosquito net ! 😅 thanks 🙏
The mosquito net is definitely wonderful and so easy to put up and take down 😀 Thanks for watching!
Nice trailer.. I don't like the color of the shower walls which looks like mildew (!) but not a bad item for the weight and a couple who go out and about 3-4 times a year.
It's a great option to take out on the road more often than that 😀 Thanks for watching!
I had a Prolite trailer some years ago. Living in the high desert the shell had deamination. Value went way down in less than a year. Then it was stolen. I got more than it cost from insurance.
Thank you for sharing! Glad it worked out for you. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been researching small tiny trailers and so far I like this one’s configuration. But that’s a hefty price tag even for the USD amount.
You pay for lightweight premium but you save on gas and tow vehicle. Thanks for watching!
They should have put on screens and shades like the tab and the ability to close those cupboards wo adding weight. Cheap products used for weight but I think they could do better. Good show, man.
Thanks for watching!
Really Nice Rig' Perfect for Many! Thank you'
Great Video!
🌐🕊️🖖
Thanks for watching!
I miss trailers like these
Thanks for watching!
I like the flexibility of the couch/bed. With a 4 person dinette, the couch allows more seating!
It's a very spacious 4 person dinette 👍 Thanks for watching!
I like this very much! But 40 grand thou,wow!
Agree, they're pricey but good quality RV's come with a higher price! Thanks for watching!
this is the first one i've seen that i would get if i had the money. I agree, the interior colors needs to be updated, but otherwise, very nice.
Glad you enjoyed it 😀 Thanks for watching!
Nice place!
Pog Lake in Algonquin Provincial Park. One of our favourites 😃
I will be building a trailer this spring.
Using a popup trailer frame($200.00). 7’ x 14’. About $1500-1800 for framing/skin(marine plywood). $1000 for commercial windows/door. A couple of marine deep cycle batteries. Wired with power strips on each end, ceiling exhaust fan. A few lights. If I splurge on some stuff, I don’t think Icould go over $5000…….
Sounds like you are off to a great start! Thanks for watching!
Your camera and photography are fantastic.
Thank you so much 😀 Greatly appreciated!! Thanks for watching!
nice unit!
We think so too! Thanks for watching!
Confused about how you ran the a/c without electricity hookup. I guess the battery? how long with the battery last? nice trailer though, and good video. Looks like a nice place too.

$40,000!!! OMG, have you all lost your minds. And then tax on top???
Yup it's pricey! Thanks for watching!
Your not kidding 💲 RIDICULOUS 💲💸💸💸💸💸
Buy it in Montana!
It's beyond ridiculous! They have monopolized RVs and make it expensive like the tiny homes.
40k for this single axle minute trailer?… no thank you!.. you come across as a nice individual but I think you’ve been taken advantage of. WADR
How are you able to use interior lights with no electricity hookup?
You ran off the battery. A solar panel system can help you live off the battery longer. Thanks for watching!
Good review on this trailer and I can see where they can keep the price low on this with some of the cabinetry and no sink in the wet bath or the toilet paper holder like you were saying. Definitely needed. And if you ever get to Arizona, Phoenix area, I'll turn you on to a nice ice cold Coors Light. Much better taste than the Heineken beer. 😅

lots of storage, except for hanging clothes

Thanks for watching!
I agree. by like some other RV reviewers have mentioned - no one pays MSRP.. expect to pay 40% off MSRP. Even better - save 50% and buy used!
That fox!
We've never seen one so close in a campground 😀
needs a toilet paper holder for sur, and the clothes closet could be larger, but it looks pretty good!
Toilet paper holder is easy to add to your own taste. Smaller campers force you to camp on a more minimalist way 😀 Cheers!
I’m new to the rv world. I’m curious why the interior design and aesthetic seems stuck in the 70s,80s, 90s for so many trailers and RVs. I’m a bit surprised that the interior aesthetics haven’t kept up with the market and the times.

The problem is North American RV companies try to create a cabin vibe of the 80s and 90s. I see the European ones on TH-cam and they look very nice.
need a privacy shade for the front door.
The front door does have a blind/shade. Cheers!
how do you get up on the bunk? no ladder provided?
It’s a climb. Our trailer has a similar bunk with no ladder and the kids have no problem getting up there. For me it’s a bit tougher, but in this trailer it’s only for lighter folks anyway. Thanks for watching!
We have owned 2 Prolite trailers. Just know if you are thinking about buying a Prolite they are extremely low to the ground and very expensive.
Thanks for watching!
I was looking at this model and really liked it but I couldn't get past the cost in the US ~28k to 34k, and lack of dealers (just one in the US now).
It's a good quality trailer and a great design! Thanks for watching!
I knew it was pog lake!
Awesome campground and beautiful site! Thanks for watching!
maybe i could leave the bunk down to use for storage, as i am short and wouldn't perhaps hit my head on the underside of the bunk standing up from the dinette. I"m only 4'10 you see!
That's the beauty of this trailer, it's versatile. Cheers!
That's exactly what I do with the upper bunk on my Prolite Profil; only used as storage.
Love the trailer, just not the price wow these are expensive, oh we live in Canada😕 ... thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it 😀 Yeah we always get nailed with higher prices. Thanks for watching!
Do they make 1 without bunks
Yes they do. Check out our other Prolite video where we show other models without the bunk bed. And check their website: they have a ton of other floorplans. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!
How tall are you? I have a Winnebago Minnie drop with a wet bath and the shower is nonsense. I'm 5' 4" my husband is 6' 1". We had to move the shower head over to the outside wall to stop bumping our face in it. At the 9:04 min. mark you are sitting at a table with BIRD CRAP all over it, Why?
The bed in mine is like yours but it's a short queen, this one looks a bit narrow. I cannot make the bed well. Too hard to pull the corners up for the sheet. I prefer sheets not sleeping bags. The fridge is like mine, too small a freezer. We saved money by buying a lot of our food when traveling from NH to Yellowstone.
Love the area you are camping in although it's dry camping. We've boondocked a few times in the past 4 years with our little Winnie. We are looking for a slightly bigger camper since storage is a problem and I've had it with the shower. We also don't close the bathroom door, but the wet shower curtain gets annoying when it clings. Just normal growing pains.
Happy Trails to you!
I'm 6' and as you can see had room to spare in the shower. Just to clarify, this is not our trailer. As I mentioned at the beginning of the video, we rented it to do the walkthrough. If you are looking to switch to another RV, we highly recommend renting the one you have in mind prior to buying so you can see how it meets your needs. Happy Camping 😀 Thanks for watching!
I rarely see foxes just show up like that. Really like the simplicity and flexibility of this camper. I would say a trail manor 2518kb would still beat this when it comes to towability and sleeping capacity.
We don't see foxes get so close, but maybe because the park was so quiet, this one got really close 😀 Thanks for your tip and Thanks for watching!
What concerns me in these trailers is the honeycomb floor. I have heard they will fall apart very quickly. What has everybody heard about that?
I have not heard that. I believe the floor is a treated plywood. Thanks for watching!
40k?No chance!! Just need one for me, wife, and dog. But that price, nope.
I hear you! Keep researching. Thanks for watching!
Very nicely designed 😎 Is there a US made similar model ? Happy Camping 🤩🤩🤩
Prolites are only made in Canada. There are several US made lightweight trailers…check out our full playlist of walkthroughs th-cam.com/play/PLc6Joo_5aacqfqJEhGLtNxT5oK7LtsZ_1.html. Thanks for watching!
Nice trailer .Can you get AC but no bunks?
Prolite has a full line of trailers…check out their website. They have virtually every style of floor plan you can think of. www.roulottesprolite.com
I would like to see the GVWR and the towing rating of your vehicle. Most people don’t factor the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating which is more important, in my humble opinion, to the dry weight as it includes the propane tank and all items required for camping. Over all good job on the video.
Thanks for watching! Happy camping 😀
How tall is this? Under 8ft?
Overall height is 8' 2". Interior height is 6' 4". Thanks for watching!
@@DayHikerFromTheSix is that including the ac unit up top?
Yes
So, the Fox doesn't get a mention?
I figured the picture said it all! 😀 Thanks for watching!
@@DayHikerFromTheSix You must see them a lot.
I agree with you about color and I noticed the bathroom did not have waterproof material. Needs a screen door, thicker cushions for comfort. Maybe they make one for 2 people. The fox needed no mention. That was great.
What company makes this RV ? Thank you
Prolite is a Canadian manufacturer from Quebec. Thanks for watching!
The greedy group.. The price is 💸ridiculous 💸
You have $40,000 is crazy. You should see what you could get for 40,000 here in the United States! You could get what would be considered a trailer mansion
It’s 40k Canadian, you can subtract 30ish per cent for US prices. As trailers get lighter, you can expect to pay a premium. But being able to tow with a car saves a huge amount of money over the life of the trailer. Thanks for watching!
@@DayHikerFromTheSix then I stand corrected
Right off the get...I gotta say I have a big problem with the chinsy awning as an awning is one of the important primary features of any camping all the way back to medieval times. Having an awning one can only use in good weather defects it's purposeq as much camping experiences both rain plus windy days. This one is cheap material and poles that will sag and fail. This has to be put in leaving your possession wet, stuck inside by no ability to shake off rain before entering or step out to cook...though $40000k!
Even old canvas tents had a solid, pitched awning that was heavy duty enough not to shake and tear in wind. Secondly saying the seams won't leak because of continuous roll while know humidity still delaminates that material instead of the over the under fiberglass clamshell pod this should be done in at a $$$$40,000k price tag.
Thanks for watching!
Awning style windows. Not a fan. Here's why. A few years back a coworkers son cut his shoulder open on a sharp edge of the awning style window. I prefer sliders. Similar to home.
Size, sleeping accommodations looks good. Bed separate from dining area.
Wet bath is sufficient for my wife n I.
That's an unfortunate accident. Thanks for watching!
Better to purchase a use motorhome from Cruise America or Elmonte RV.
It really depends on your needs and budget. Thanks for watching!
Hola saludos desde Costa Rica. Está bastante bonito el remolque, lo que más me agrada es el tamaño y el peso, además que la distribución es perfecta. Me gustaría saber cuál es el precio en dólares americanos. Gracias quedo atento.
By exchange it’s around 28 thousand in USD, but I’d check in with a US dealer…I’m seeing some pretty good deals online.
Let me just take out a 2nd on my home first and I’ll be right over.
Thanks for watching!
Bought a brand new catalina by forest river for $14,000tax title all included
Congratulations 😀 Happy camping. Thanks for watching!
what size?
@@tremanuel7222 it is a 19 ft x 8ft with 11ft clearance under bridges for height
What is the price on this unit in Can $$
Always best to check the manufacturer’s website…currently showing $37,190 CDN plus $499 in fees, but as you know prices can change 😀. Thanks for watching!
Once I saw that there was no counter space and a flip up was the only way to improvise for space, I tuned out of the video. I don’t like the price for it only having a wet bathroom.
Thanks for giving it a try. Check out other videos on our channel, there might be others that interest you 👍
You can buy a jayco with full kitchen and shower and living room and private room for 31,670
True, there are a lot of other trailers out there at a lower price range. It all depends on your personal needs and budget. Thanks for watching!
Bath tissues are hung on the door handle....lol 😂
Yes, it's lacking a toilet paper holder, but it's an easy solution 😀 Thanks for watching!
Worth 15 tops
We agree the price is steep but it depends on what you value as quality! Thanks for watching!
I would buy one with no wood.
Thanks for watching!
Love everything about it but the price....Thats a FN joke😂😂😂 💲RIDICULOUS💲 ‼️‼️‼️
At least double what it should be priced at ... Are people really that GREEDY 💲 💸RIDICULOUS 💲💸
The prices around the industry have gone up. Thanks for watching!
Seems like the smaller the trailer the higher the price, too high for me, I like it though
There is definitely a lightweight premium, but you save a ton on gas and tow vehicles! Thanks for watching 😎
@@DayHikerFromTheSix Correct, I use a 2024 Ford Ranger which is far less expensive than a F150.
Right for 200 nights you can stay in a safe hotel! Same price!
But then you don't get the camping experience Lol. Thanks for watching!
Not a fan of awning style windows. The reason is I saw a young man, who was not paying attention, walk into one. Result was torn flesh on his shoulder and a broken window. Nope I'll take slider windows over awning.
That's a very unfortunate accident! Thanks for watching!
Why have a window and then put a huge black bar across your view?
I believe they were going to change it for the new 2025 models. Thanks for watching!
Get us inside!
Sorry, don't know what you mean! Cheers!
Just wish it was a little taller inside. Hubby is 6’6” so he sure wouldn’t fit.
You don’t spend a lot of time standing up in a camper…but I get the desire for standing height. Thanks for watching!
Yes, I understand not spending much time inside, it was more the sleeping areas he would have a hard time with.
What is the tongue weight?
The dry unloaded tongue weight was at the very start of the video. Just keep in mind that this is a changing number depending on how much and where you load the trailer with cargo, water, and waste water. Thanks for watching!
Price is definately a con - whoooee
Thanks for watching!
Terrible breakfast,🍳 no oatmeal..eggs and sausage..😂
Lol 😃 Thanks for watching!
Hot?? In Canada?? I'm from north central Maine, live in west central Florida now, Florida is hot!!!!
😀 True but we can get really hot, humid days up here! Thanks for watching!
I live in Arizona, Friday it will be 116 and monsoons are coming (meaning, it's not a dry heat). I would rather be in Florida near beaches 🏖
Lol its not a cigarette lighter its a 12 volt socket , you know your old when you call it a cigarette lighter lol....
Lol 😀 Thanks for watching!
