"This isn't good for someone who would want to live in it"
Me: hahaha thats exactly why im watching this video.
SAME
Facts lol
I think I could live in it with no problem. 😊
I love this little trailer and would feel comfortable towing it, not to mention living in. I even saw a great spot for my cats potty lol
Same!!! Lololol
I Don't think I would call this a "coach" more like a deer hunting cabin for one.
@Dill Rogerz
My home has that too, but it's not a coach...
That's good for a couple on a two week vacation. That would surely beat spending $100+ per night on motels!
TheHondaman , two, possibly three people actually. but cute and fills a certain nitch.
@Dill Rogerz no it's not
Wash your hands in the tub! Problem solved. I dig this little thing. Perfect for hunting camp! Thanks for the review
This is the size of my DIY trailer that is in process now. I'm 6-4 n need a bit more room up high n in bed length.
Not bad but I would probably go more for a Forest River Wildwood or Salem FSX 200RBK if I were looking for a trailer in that weight range with a wooden frame and aluminum shell. With the "Off Road" package they are just a tad bigger with a slightly better floor plan.
Can pull with almost anything? Tow rating some some small SUV is less than the weight of this camper
im fine with this or a $2.8 mil newman king aire
Unrelated to this video, but..How is the goosebox doing? We're in that beginning, over research, phase of rv searching and I've been watching some of your videos. I noticed that a year or so ago you had a fifth wheel vs gooseneck video and said you didn't like the idea of the gooesebox because of the stress it puts on the trailer frame, then one from a few months back when you installed one you said you were really liking it. I'm conflicted because I like the idea of the fifth wheel, but she doesn't want to give up bed space for something we might not use much, so that goosebox seems like the best compromise.
It's been great! The original video was referring to gooseneck adapters that attach to the bottom of the kingpin. The Goosebox replaces the entire pinbox.
Not a fan of single axle trailers. I had a sidewall blow out on my double axle trailer and didn't even realize it.
just bought the kove = right on
Dude that's amazing!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love this!! 💖
When buying a trailer, get the same kind of tires that you use on vehicle and carry 1 spare wheel
Good luck matching the wheel and bolt pattern. Same tire won't make a difference if the Wheel doesn't fit.
@@jamesglenn520 Lots of off-roaders that has done it... they get whoever makes the trailer to put on same bolt patterns as their vehicle.
@@dubious6718 Ok I know they do that for the small Offroad trailers. It's pretty popular for people running jeeps with only 5 lugs.
Why is there a propain bottle there
Gas stove
I live in a semi truck. Trust me that camper has PLENTY of room for me
Wife would like bath with seperate tub toilet.
Yes sir!!! Had a 36" coffin for the longest...when I got a 72" I felt Like I moved into a castle!!!
I live in a chevy silverado. A semi truck would be awesome for me.
Buy one and attach it to your truck bud
“You couldn’t live in this”
Van life people: are you kidding me? This is to much
I'll just go ahead and like.
Agreed
Van life people “look at all this room for activities.”
Homeless dude who lives in a cardboard box: “WOW, that’s a huge house!”
So true😂🤣😂🤣
For less than 10K you're getting something brand-new, that most importantly.........
has a bathroom !!!!
It's used. not brand new
@@williamoftexas1489 It's also out-of-production. But even used, $10K isn't bad.
It needs a Murphy bed with a multipositional table with the bench seat being a two seat table. Then have a fold down flat screen Tv from the roof. Lot's of dude's would love a man cave but lack the money and area to have one. Those little changes and keeping it all under ten grand? I would buy one to park in my back yard or an enclosed area to have my own little man cave. 😊
Yeah
I was thinking along those lines, too. Get that camper cheap enough, then DIY a Murphy bed mod.
Not bad. There are lots of advantages to a camper that size. Super low maintenance and would be towable with just about anything. Would be a nice camper to easily take cross country.
Average Joe easy to drive and park and fits about anywhere and doesn't take like parking lots and doesn't cover the hole view to your house when it's park ouside
I bet the AC/Heat has no problem keeping the trailer comfortable as well.
@@jamesmiller7911 except for climates like southern Arizona.
The reviewer is focusing on pickup trucks as tow vehicles, but that size/weight of trailer is also well within the range of SUVs with V-6 engines and 5-6,000 pounds of towing rating such as the Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee, Kia Sorento and Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Toyota Highlander, and the Ford Explorer. It's marginal for those tow rated for 3,500 pounds such as the Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Ford Edge and sibling Lincoln MKX/Nautilus.
Could I tow this with my ‘14 Honda CRV?
When people say "to be honest with you " a lot I just assume they aren't being honest.
Or that theyre usually lying
At the least, they are implying that sometimes they are NOT honest.
Wtf ..live in it for a month..Lol
Yep.
Attsa fact.. But what's even worse is folks that constantly say "trust me". Puts me totally on guard..!
That bench makes it really easy to leave the dinette as a bed full time. You could use one or two small TV dinner trays to substitute for a dinner table. Once you’re done eating fold them and slide them underneath the bed out of the way.
bflo716 n
Or just eat outside if the weather allows. I like to be outdoors most of the time when I camp so that could stay a bed
Skip first 1:40, unless you like commercials
MVP
You wanna pay for the video? Then chill.
Thanks
+Jody's Journey i imagine the budget must have cost dozens of quarters.
Not all heros wear capes ..... ❤❤
I have a KZ Sportsman of this exact floor plan, paid $7100 brand new and lived in it for 18 months. Saved a ton of cash on not having to pay rent. Set it up on a buddies farm to watch (guard) livestock. I wont hesitate to live in it again, good times!
dwarden3 The bed looks more comfortable in the model you’re talking about.. I’d get rid of the couch, since my girlfriend and I would never use it. But that’s definitely a good option for when we start looking for something to travel in.
and when you're done you can still sell it for a few gs at least. rent is such a ripoff
sounds like broke back mountain
Does it retail for $7,100? Cause I can’t find any that cost that much. Where did you find one that much?
Yeah where did you buy it for that price? i wan't a web site.
I would get that for my kid to move him out of the house
LMAO....
Before it turns into a dateline episode ha ha 😀
LMAO 😂 funny!
I think I'd like that myself :D
lol
For that price I'm moving in.
I could live in something this small, the only thing is that i would have to modify it a little bit to fit a desk as well as a comfortable place to sleep
Weezer 6.u?
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Thanks for sharing! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Something for me and my 2 little dogs and occationally 2 little grandkids. Something I can take to the beach or just on short weekend trips close to home. Plus I won't have to have a super huge vehicle to pull it with. Thank you again for this video!
Has a fan of the 13ft scamp. This one has a great layout i really like. Yes i could live in this full time.
The hubs & I are huge race fans & this size unit would be great for us! We want to camp at the tracks for 1-2 nights & we aren’t forced to use our 2500 diesel. Some tracks have VERY tiny sites also. Another plus! 🤗
Cool little trailer for a couple or an individual. At less than $10K, its a step up from a tent or even tent trailer...
$10 K ? Are you mad? You want to overprice that to help your partner !
I'm a millennial degenerate turning 28 and looking to move out of my parents and learn manly resourceful skills to be independent and considering buying one of these trailers as a start to try and move out and be independent again... Im thinking of how to take care of it, where to park it, rent space or not rent space, because if you park it in wrong places it can get towed and stuff...
Check into campgrounds
Dude i live mostly on my bed watching youtube when im not working. I can live ANYWHERE!
You know some less intelligent person here in CA is going to put this behind a smart car because you did say any vehicle lol
shhhh shh
just let it happen
😂😂😂
@@The_JEB
No I believe I will film it and some how figure out how to attach it here so you can pee your pants in laughter as well
Or a Prius. I'm from California. You think my Prius could handle it? :)
Eric, NO.
I also live in the PRC. I have a VW New Beatle. It is more powerful than your Prius. The owners handbook stated ,"do not tow any trailer". Your Prius is safe to tow It's own shadow and not much more.
Lord i wish i could afford this i would park this in the campground and love in it
if I could afford that I'd easily live in it! just wish it had a small washer, but one of those bucket washers would do.
I’ve always wanted something small as this for my wife and I, every year the lifestyle is calling me!!! It’s the right price point just in case it’s not for HER, easily maintained and turned over for resale if need be.
Great video Thanks
this is perfect for my Ranger unfortunately I think they've stopped making these new so I would have to start hunting for one used or left over new on the lot.
Jayco makes these I noticed. Same floor plan in 2020
Starcraft and Jayco are the same company now. They have basically the same Floorplan in the Jayco line.
Why lift a 450? To tall to haul a 5er in my opinion. Also, it may be just my experience but every lifted truck I've ever owned loses some of its towing capacity. To each their own I guess.....great video btbrv as always we appreciate it!
Honestly I think a small lift is ok but that what that 450 has is just down right ugly and stupid looking.
TRUCKS ARE POOP NOW! You lift it because you'll never use it for it's intended purpose, look at the 22" rims with the ghetto offset. The millennial crowd loves blowing money on stupid stuff. That truck is made just to pull a trailer and do work but Ford will make it luxurious and sell it for way too much. It is almost impossible to buy a real work truck cheap. I bought my first truck without A/C or a radio that was in 1995 you can't do that anymore
World Buddy of mine has the new f450 platinum, and he's like 21 at least! And he's a tall giant, I can't believe it has so much room for him! And he's like 6'10! That's pretty insane for a new generation dually!
Yep same exact color as well. He has a red one like this man's, but it's not lifted. All stock, which is still big and tall enough!
If anyone's looking for a really reasonably priced and decently spacious light trailer to pull with a midsize SUV check out the keystone hideout 177lhs. I got one a year ago today and it's been fantastic. Full queen bed up front and dinette at the rear, lots of windows, full bathroom, indoor/outdoor stereo, tons of storage etc. 3000lbs dry.
HCFX how much?
@@brandon071194 $16,333.00
@@johnnyofast5924 whoa
Tank(s) ? Constant dumping if off grid?
This is perfect for camping especially with the awning. If you are spending your time in the trailer when it is nice out, you aren't camping correctly lol.
Wow I want this to travel with during the summer. I could totally take off with my kids and travel the coast.
Any vehicle with a tow rating of 3500 lbs should be able to tow this. Such as. Ford Escape 2.0L 4wd tow package.
A civic can pull this with ease
Are you being serious? This is trailer is what i’d like to purchase and tow with an escape with that tow package, I plan to travel the us
THE TUB!! this is perfect for famalies with young kids that don’t shower!
One word for fiberglass or gel coat sides... Delamination. Once that occurs you're screwed.
How often does that happen?
A trailer like this could be easily built for half the price they are asking for this trailer. Don't get me wrong I really appreciate the time you took to make this video and show the layout. The thing is that when you really inspect these trailers, they are built with very cheap materials. Take care
Exactly. The build quality on a lot of these trailers are piss poor. You may not notice it until you buy it.
Great little trailer! A young couple with or without small children or 1-2 adults could find this a great camper. Easy to tow etc. Would be a great starter trailer! That’s the great thing about RVs, there is one for everyone.
Joseph Cirelli , all you would need is a screen room tent to set up right under the roll out cover
awning.
The kitchen sink is plenty. I’ve never been a fan of two sinks in small places.
akbychoice I don’t like brushing my teeth in the same sink I used to wash food in.
cjeam I don’t scrub my sink with my toothbrush.
akbychoice I’m sure you don’t. Nor do you scrub your toilet with your toothbrush, you still wouldn’t brush your teeth in that though would you. Kitchen sinks get pretty dirty, bathroom sinks are used for personal hygiene, I like to separate the two.
cjeam well, if your kitchen sink is like that you shouldn’t eat of the dishes that are washed in it either.

You don't need anything as big as a Durango. Easily towed by just about any SUV with a trailer tow package. Anything with a Tow rating over 3500 lbs will handle that if they can handle the tongue weight.
$10,000? Why not just get a Casita, will last a lot longer.
Commando602 Casita for 10k? The last Casita that was used that I looked at the asking price was $12,500!! That was in 2015, was a 2005, has lots of lived in signs and carpet wear, with a slightly musty smell. It was a 16’ and convinced me to go take aook at what I bought on the spot, a 2015 Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup 16 FQ, That has everything you need, plus a couple features that are rare in that size, like a Dry Bath, walk around Queen Bed, all LED lighting, 14” Nitrogen filled radial tires on nice Alloy Wheels. We had if since then with no issues other than a faulty Battery replaced by the dealer. It's been from our last home in Massachusetts to as far north as Bar Harbor ME, as far South as Key West Fl and West as Corpus Christi TX. When we retired to Florida and built a new home we lived in Wolfy for 4 months, the wife and I am two dogs and had a blast! Total Price brand new $12,400!!!
New casita $20k +
@@k.r.v.4219 Newsflash: a friend just sold his used 2019 Casita....$22,000.
Put a container of sanitizing wipes for the hands or a container of hand sanitizer and a roll of paper towels
I was thinking the same thing!
awesome little RV, Perfect for the hunting trip with the boy's
One perk to that tt for me is that it will fit in my garage...along with the jeep....does it come with electric brakes on the axle? I didnt catch if you said it did or not.
yes sir, this one had electric drum brakes
I've been looking at campers and have a V6 Nissan frontier. This or something similar would be perfect.
The first 8 minutes confused me. Was starting to think I wasn’t going to see a camper
Me too lol
Coachmen models under Viking / Clipper names have similar floor plans and dry weights. Plus our experience with the manufacture Coachmen has been very good and responsive. Thanks for the video
thomas dipaolo took me a year to get a bathtub for my 1997 Coachmen Catalina Lite. Their parts dept was both retarded AND arrogant.
Very cool. Needs a tv and a booming system. It's bigger than a new York apartment..... U could totally live in there.
Something Iike a Tahoe could tow, I’m not a Chevy guy but Tahoe’s can tow over 4 tons. This more in the minivan class, I love how you dismiss the 150 & 1500 chassis as little trucks.
Ha ha 😂!!! 150s and 1500s are Pickups.
They are not Trucks.
They are for picking up things at the grocery or box stores.
Trucks are for hauling and towing things that weigh more than a Pickup. Lol
I got that speaker that was recommended from Daily driven exotics I’ve had nothing but problems with it the customer service doesn’t call back or email you back I would recommend a not buying it
Skip to 4:57 if you already know what the outside of Every. Single. Trailer. looks like.
I had a Fun Finder T139 which was very similar to this unit and my wife and I loved it. We had a wet bath which was tight. This bathroom is much more spacious. They feel much larger inside than they look from the outside. Supposedly these units are popular with hunters.
I think for a budget trailer in that size it is good. If it where me a Camplite or Airstream Basecamp is better for those seeking luxury. It seems to be a growing trend now days small but luxury.
so a ford ranger with a 4.0l could haul this around no problem
"No problem" is relative, but 4.0 rangers are suprising powerful so but you'll probably be making it squat quite a bit
ive hauled way more then the tow rating with my 2003 ford ranger fx4 with the 4.0l. great little truck. ive towed a 5700lb 18ft camp trailer over 400 miles with 15 mpg around 60mph. had to drop down to 4th gear going up 15-20 degree grades. stopping was no problem. i deffinatelly wouldnt do it if i had a bigger truck. but i had what i had at the time and it worked fine
My mom & dad pulled a 19 ft Nash trailer with their 1996 GMC Sonoma with the 4.3 L V-6 with no problems.
Matthew Bolton , yes for sure, 4 liter straight 6 is a torque monster for it's size.
I've had several of them over the years.
Thanks for the great discount on the Kove bluetooth speaker! Ordered one today using your link.
Thank you!
My 2017 chevy traverse w/towing package would pull this and still have room to play with as well. Super light
A simple person or couple could live in it. $9k IDK?
That's what I was thinking
10K, I like it. Perfect for zen, slow camping, or minimal living. I like the table option in the back. Would make a cool office/work space. Only thing =this can't be super tight at this price.
I did not expect the bathroom to have a "real" shower separate from the toilet. That's great for a smaller RV.
this is the exact same layout as an old 80's 16 ft. camper trailer
im confused so how would this compare to say a truck camper thats the EXACT same weight as this? this has its own axle and not as much of its weight would be directly ON you truck like a truck camper would be. so if this camper and a truck camper are the same weight seeing how this has its own wheels does that actually make it easier to pull than a truck camper? and question 2 which is easier to pull for your vehicle? i imagine a truck camper would wear out your rear suspension and wheel bearings more? trying to figure out the physics of it all
I would use this as an emergency evacuation situation. ie. fire, earthquake,etc. just load up important documents,etc. and bug out. Always have it loaded with can foods.water. Clothes and jackets. Guns/rifles/amo. I’m good to go.
Why do people think audio demos are efficient? We can only hear the quality that our devices produce. So even a Bose can sound like crap depending on what people are using to watch the demo. Please stop doing that!
They probably paid him, not a big deal... if it bothers you that much, fast forward buddy otherwise relax .... enjoy the time your sitting there on TH-cam 🤨
Skip to 4:56 to see the inside.
so this in the uk is called a caravan
Yeah thats going behind my ram 😆😆😆
This floorplan is great. A dry bath in this is astounding.
We have a 2013 Viking by Forest River very similar to this. Tow it with a Ford Sport Trac. Been over all the steepest highways in BC with no problems at all. Perfect size for two people who love to be outside as much as possible. Warm and dry when the weather gets wet and chilly. On Vancouver Island we use it from March until November. Love it!
That’s is a cute little trailer and with the axles being less than the trailer, when u level your jacks that takes most the weight off the trailer but nice little short vid I love the power onning
The little ePro still has my attention. This looks too much like my parents 1982 Shasta that was 15 feet long.
One person could live in it. Very nice unit. 👍
LOL... you need a vehicle with a 5-6 thousand pound tow rating to pull this little micro-wagon? If a trailer weighs less than 2000 pounds... then why do you need a 6k tow rated vehicle? What’s wrong with a hatchback 4-banger with a class 2 Hitch? You triple the tow rating... for fun?? WHY!?
Nicole Miller because those are max tow ratings Nicole. You never want to pull over 75% of the max long term. That’s just asking for problems . If you pull it with a 4 banger , you will already be at close to its maximum tow rating. Combine that with a engine having to work harder , bad mileage , wear tear bad idea. Unless it’s a short term deal. It also not less then 2000lbs , but 3200 lol and that’s without all the baggage stuff loaded in it.
$9,995 is highway robbery, especially for used cause used ones are usually damaged
Whsts you opinion on restoring older campers? Theres an old prowler sitting at my moms(was my paw paws, used at the hunting camp), I can buy a new or newer unit that's about the same size (guessing its somewhere around 30ft) for 20-30k. I do not know if it would be cost effective to put money into the old prowler. But I do like the idea of making it like I want and I want a gooseneck hitch and it's a bumper pull. Which I thought about converting it. Just curious about your thoughts on this.
A buddy and i are building an 71 Winnebago. Converting it to a Cummins and 4x4 dually drivetrain.
That sounds badass. How much money you think it is going to end up costing when it's all said and done?
@@antneeshoopdeegarage92 prolly around the $15-20k range when it's all said and done. It is a slow build. My buddy and i only have 2 days a week we can tool on it.
Absolutely. With a small travel, you can't really go wrong. Prowler's are good campers
Gotcha. Yeah time would be my constrant if and when I decide to start working on it. Gotta finish fixing my house from a flood in 2016 first.
I didn't think it would be hard to do. Just wondering if it would be cost effective because this camper needs to be completely gutted. Walls have water stains inside the camper, theres more than that.
3:02 please show interior, starts at 5:00. At least the toilet is not in the shower
Love to have that for a Disaster Relief Trailer...trade my 1965 Trotwood command trailer for it! Lol! The front windows are a plus! The awning electrical is really cool!!👍👍
Is this the Camper trailer Uncle Si won after winning the Donut eating bet and entering the money in the Giveaway
Why do people have such long introduction, instead of getting to the point? most vloggers take up the beginning of intro with a whole lot of blah blah blah blah blah! nice video despite the first 2 minutes about a speaker. I would buy one of those, just to save hotel money on road trips. Nice.
These are cool and all but come on, if you have a driveway and a harbor freight or menards in town you can build a better one yourself for a few grand.
Why do they decorate trailers so hideously?
Matthew Smith What would you prefer? Like green and shag carpet? Grandmas country kitchen with chicken wall paper?
They have to make then to suit as many tastes as possible.
@@theeasternfront6436 There are more subtle approaches to style that would easily appeal to the majority. Sometimes the majority doesn't even know what they like.
I agree. It's as if they use materials left unused from the last 2 decades.
I don't like the idea of the tv next to the sink. Especially with you having to use it to wash your hands and brushing your tv. To much traffic next to it.
I don't think I'd even bother with a TV in something this size.
Starcraft has had the dubious reputation as some worst manufacturing quality in the business for a long time. Looks similar to Keystone/Dutchmen terrible manufacturing of the Coleman line up. Have they changed anything? Covid price gouging continues.
If I knew for sure the tow rating I'd say my old 86 K2500 GMC Square Body could probably haul this even with the 4 speed in overdrive.
2.8w ago dad&I driving up to Moncton NB from Halifax NS🇨🇦-(to vis grma as it was near 12months since)-On Hwy🛣102 on the hwy’s opposite side I glimpsed a fairly high spec 2021 Mustang towing a loaded pop up (1/similar dimensions or at least width & pretty close on length & width) headed on other side toward Halifax. I was LMAO. I sometimes still laugh ~ it.
$10,000 for a used 16' travel trailer? Dude, I bought a 26' 5th wheel camper that was just as old as this for $6500. Mine has a full kitchen and master bedroom. Full utilities and heat and AC. 2 - 30 lb propane tanks included. Why are we paying so much for rv's today?????? In all honesty I would say a camper this size is worth like $3000. Brand new maybe $4500. It's a one person getaway. Not a camper.
At 5:38, you showcased the price tag..."they were asking $12,995 ($13K) and now they're asking $9,995 (I wish they would just say 10 grand). I did a quick Google search...found several at the RV Trader website, including a 2014 for $6,000. Buying from a dealer is laughable at times.
This is spectacular. I love it.
Silly question here folks....what does Dry weight means?? .......Without any extras it has on or without the usual seats/sofa,fridge and that kind? My little car will tow that if it's Gross 3200lbs/1451.5kgs as i can tow MAX 900kgs....would that be ok too?? I know you must have other bits n bobs in the trailer ie gas,water,food,clothes and so on.I'm a complete noob folks.If it's about 1500kgs then i'll but one!! Seen other videos of 14ft they say it's much more heavier and that put me off so then i wanted a 12ft but i really want a shower plus a decent heating system ie water and general heat/warmth for the winter months here in the UK.Thanks.
Anyone looking at these small, traditional "Stick Built" trailers, should really check out the newly released "Wolf Pup 16PF". Only a few dealers in the country have received one yet, and doubt many will keep them in-stock for long, the floorplan is fantastic for such a small trailer. Around 6-800 pounds heavier than the one in this video, but I don't think you would want to tow either one with a 3500lb tow rated vehicle, which moves you up to 5000lb tow rated vehicles anyway.
My wife and I are new to this RV-ing thing and are looking for a small RV like this to get started. We are thinking about getting a hitch put on her 2009 Subaru Forester, and found the Draw-Tite 75650. It will give her a Toung Weight of 600 lbs., and a Towing Weight of 4,000 lbs. Mainly we're just looking to put a little guy like this on a plot of land to live in while we build our home. Then once the house is done, we can use it to putt-putt around the country in for fun. Could we tow this behind her 2009 Subaru Forester with this Draw-Tite hitch?
A Dodge Durango? Durangos could tow a lot with that 318 V8 it ran. My dad pulled a 19 ft Nash with his GMC Sonoma. Bigger isn't always better. I grew up camping in a 13 ft Scamp trailer. We used it clear up until I was a sophomore in college. Still wish we had it, it was a fun little trailer! Its a camper trailer, NOT a tiny home. I'd take it in a heartbeat!
