This is a perfect layout for my parents that are swingers! That king size bed will allow them to get down to business without having to pay for a hotel some nights when they travel!
I can tow up to 6k with a vehicle payload of 1k. I am figuring a CCC of 1,500 if a TT Rv is more than adequate. This fits the bill. And I can lose the king and put in a queen in instead. Since it is just me and my two doggies, this RV type is perfect for the job. My list of what I am looking for: 3.500 min - 4,500 max trailer dry weight Able to fit 1,500 in cargo (anything more is not necessary) Theatre seating over dinette Queen bed Adequate storage for said cargo 21' -25' length 400w solar capability No carpet Dual axle with spare An awning for shade This fits that bill.
I like the idea of more stuff being "prepped". That way I can add those in later if I want to and not have to pay extra now. For a budget, I'd take a larger CCC over fancy add ons any day.
Over all that is a nice one! In the future, if possible, I'd loose the bathroom linen closet and use the extra space to do a rectangular shower and better toilet placement. I would also like to see a dinette option.
It's a clever design in many spots but tossing in a king mattress is laughable. They should have just made it for a full queen and made the wardrobes bigger. Also, the spot for a TV leaves little room for a decent sized one; they need to rethink that.
I agree about the king-size bed being too much for a tiny trailer, would rather have wider wardrobes. This is a good size for a single. I like the fridge, stove, m/w. Bathroom is okay. Cargo capacity is terrific. 👍
Sure you can have a queen bed no problem but I think the king is much better especially if you've got a doggy or two that likes to jump in the bed. It is better to have and not need than to need not have and frankly I don't see this is a full-time camper versus some of the other options this is more of the destination have a place to sleep while you're there.
I used to own this model. It did have nice features, the outside storage was fantastic. The kind bed wasn’t bad but the tv location was not great. We had three roof leaks in 6 months, they didn’t really want to do much about it. I now have a Rockwood and the quality seems better than the North Trail.
Nice small travel trailer. Need more space around the toilet. Let the larger storage, at least you’ll be able to store your zero gravy chairs. Air fryer seems like a nice new option. Not sure how good they work. Wife hasn’t used the one in our house yet. Nice video Josh.
This is really nice .. I still wish it was the double pane windows and it needs solar which should not really be optional on everything from now on. Don’t you think? The only other thing I don’t like is the big gaps on the bathroom door also no big fan. Do you have any suggestions for closing those in a way that doesn’t look stupid? You are 100% correct about the need for struts. Another thing that should be NOT optional anymore. The MSRP on this is $50K!! At that price they need to add the solar and struts. Good grief. 😊
There is a real answer to the “why here” for a USB port by the command center. There are some “control gadget” accessories that would make sense to mount there that can be connected to USB power, like electronic leveling aids, temperature alarms, and cellular hotspots.
You said that this is solar prep so does that mean those wires will need to run? I like this small unit. Having said that there are a few minor changes I would consider like a little more elbow room on the right side of the toilet by changing the angle just a bit. Give me a fan, real full size fan above the bed. Another miss is no hold open struts, really that is not that expensive to include.
Nice trailer. I would have put a window the same size as the one in the slide and centered it in the galley. Also cargo capacity is awesome, how much stuff can you bring anyway??? ( actually, if there is space, my wife would fill it) But true, does make for a more rigid stronger trailer. Nice job Josh as usual
Quite the brilliant design. One change I’d suggest is angling that wasted space for the TV/entertainment and having a swivel mount. You could watch TV from the bed, or living area.
I was excited when I first saw this model. Lots of good things but lots of missed as well. I'm 6'8" 350# so bigger than most. The king mattress seems to be just overhanging the queen platform which means no support. As a right-hander, the small bathroom is a no-go after seeing you squeeze in. My search continues...
I want! The wife is hell bent on the Lance 2075 and I agree but this being half the price and very similar is awesome. Agree with the other folks that mentioned a full sized queen and bigger nightstands and wardrobes. Get rid of the outside speakers and use the money for better vent fans. The plastic brick wall paneling has to go. Other than that it's a nice camper that checks almost all the boxes. The price is a major selling point 🍻
I just saw a Lance last week end. I was not impressed. They did not seem any better built that many others but the price was way higher. Especially one built like this one.
@@CharmaineSilva777 Agreed when it comes to their other models. Very expensive and not much better than the competition. The 2022 and 2023 years model 2075 took our breath away. The layout and those windows are just stunning. It checks all our boxes and then some. Truly a great glamper 💯 This one on the other hand checks most boxes and being half the price is a major win!
Thanks for this awesome video as always. Now if I had the chance to do this one change, I would definitely shift that camp site bedroom window towards the kitchen and make even wider, in order to stretch the owning to reach the outside storage door, for bigger shady outside picnic area, and bigger camp site windows. #nerdherd
I like it. I think it hits all the important things for me. Power outlets in smart locations. That is a huge plus. I can easily set up a small table for a laptop/workstation at the couch. I can easily power a coffee maker or other appliances on the kitchen counter, by running a surge protector power strip down from the tv outlet. Has an oven. This is full time living ready. Just with it had an exhaust vent in the main living area vent (that could be an issue) and with it had a better fan in the bathroom. Especially since there is no exhaust fan in the other vent.
Josh, thanks again for another very informative video and demonstrations. This just might have just made it on my list of small ones to take a look at. Thank you!
I was going to buy a big rv but this video made me change my mind I don't need a big RV i just need necessary space and neccessary things this has everything i need and its so small its easy to manage and my truck can easily pull it so thank you for the video :)
grand Design 14ms might change your mind again- I got 5 sec into the video and had to stop- it is perfect ! th-cam.com/video/nhTMsPm2Udc/w-d-xo.html Thanks again Josh !
Oven Air fryer options ❤. I like the simple straight to the point and very bright clean look. Way nicer than those darker colors. Could be more outlets/usb around the couche.
e own one of these, we bought it back in 2021 and we laughed at the king matress on the queen platform. it hangs over in such a way that it sags, making it hard to get in or out without sliding. We grabbed the electric knife and slid back the cover and sliced it down to a queen size. Problem solved. The bed is also a little high, but worth it for the King King storage capacity. The bathroom is tight, the toilet is girl freindly, but not fluffy man sittable. We have a no pooping in the camper rule anyway, so not a deal breaker. Other than that, we really ike it. It's pretty ideal as a couples camper and when our adult kids, or grandkids come along, the couch actually folds out to a full size bed. With the couch folded out, it gets snug, but that's the edge case and we're glad to have the feature. The big fridge and oven are a plus. The storage is insane compared to other campers we've owned. Packed well, the pickup bed is pretty empty when we travel.
Hello Josh. I'm interested in the model you're showing I'm curious to what the retail prices and what North what pictures is offering I'm in Florida so I need to know what would be my best way to get it in my hands on one thank you
We almost bought this model but ultimately decided on a Grand Design Imagine Aim so we could tow with my half ton instead of always using the one ton. Honestly the construction was fairly impressive on these, not GD quality but still nice.
@@JoshtheRVNerd we were leaning heavily toward the 16ML after we decided on GD but after mulling over pros and cons ultimately signed and took delivery on the 15BH after deciding we could remove the bunk and so we didn't have to stress about slide maintenance since we do a lot of dusty desert boondocking trips. It's definitely a departure from the layout of this North Trail or even the Aim 16ML, haha, but we really genuinely loved this little Heartland RV's layout.
Add solar, a dinette and heavier privacy curtain and it would be a great little couples camper. Not everyone's cup of tea, but that's why they make so many different kinds.
I really like it considering the size. A few points I would change. 1. The bed. Just put a queen in it. 2. The space behind the TV should have a door or something for addl storage. 3. Overhead cabinet struts. 4. Big vent fan in the bathroom. 5. Would love a thankless waterheater.
Like the anti corrosion paint applied to the grounding points (near the propane cooker hooker), interesting is has 2 battery disconnects. Other interesting thing I noticed, The unit has a roof vent for a gas/electric fridge on the roof, but the unit has a compressor fridge. The reason I wanted a compressor fridge is no roof vent and no side access panel. Putting the outside shower under the city water connection is not smart, lots of folks use an in line water filter or a 90 on the water line which puts it in front of the access door for the outside shower. Great video.
Highland Ridge 212 look a like I wish for No outside speakers and I swapped out sink cover with a poly cutting board from sams. These are a perfect solo / couples size travel trailer
Love the king bed and shoe garage. I don’t know anything about this brand but they are certainly trying to include a good amount of comfort. Obviously, you don’t get a lot of storage space in such a small space but not bad overall.
I like the floorplan, but it does seem a little short on closet space. But the underbelly storage, is, insanely huge. As always, you did a great job, Josh!😊. Thank you.
Great great little RV. Luv the free standing table Swiss army couch set up. Bathroom size is ridiculous. I’m 5’4 and the elbow room is way too important. Campside windows yes yes yes. Luv the roof being walkable! The solar ready is the only way to go! For the size the water tanks are great. Hot and cold outside hook up is a plus for an economically sensitive camper ❤
Yeah when you start trying to pack big stuff into a small rig something had to give. And in this case it's the bathroom. I know it's an issue for some folks in this RV.
I like the idea of the shoe garage but if it had a fold down door that would be great. I feel in a small TT if something is out in the open it makes look a bit messy
I've been wondering about this for some time now, and your comment about right- versus left-handed folks made me decide to mention it. Since the vast majority of us are right-handed, why don't designers make sure to place the toilet such that it will have our right sides next to the shower? Just a thought...
I think this one would be good for trips 2 weeks or less. Can't see if your retired, like us, going for 2, 3, or 4 months. 2 weeks or less I'd consider it. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
This is similar to the Jayco 166FBS which I like better but I love the dinofa do it all and the air fryer oven better! Great video! Supporter from San Diego, CA here!
Great cargo capacity. As far as I'm concerned having a TV or not is one of those six of one a half dozen of the other. Without the TV I can purchase a unit that is much better than anything the manufacturer will install. I can always replace the existing unit but then what do you do with the old unit? For me the jury is still out on the 12V compressor fridge. Yes it starts to cool down faster but it still took a good 24 hours to come down to temperature and stabilize to where you could open the door and not have a long recovery time (I base this on temp. measurements I took). It also doesn't seem to run any less than the 2-way fridges we had in previous trailers. Our trailer has the Furion which does not have circulation fans and we found food near the back would freeze until we installed some expansion rods to keep a 1 - 2 inch gap. Models that have a fan will probably not have this problem and act more like a residential unit. I was pleasantly surprised that it was fairly quiet and was not obtrusive when we were trying to sleep. On the bathroom linen storage I prefer doors from the aesthetics but we have found that towels stay put in the open cabinets as long as they are fully in the cabinet. We had both rolled and flat folded towels and found as long as they are wide enough the frame keeps them from falling out. This result was unexpected but I won't argue with it. I'd like to see the battery cutoff switch mounted higher.
I like what they did here and really like the wider stance. My biggest concern is I’m right handed😊 I would opt for the queen personally but it’s a good layout. I would have to go to TH-cam school for the airfryer😂 Thanks again Josh🤗🤗🤗 oh by the way, does it just have the attachment for the ladder or is ladder included? What’s the point of having a walkable roof if you can’t get up to it🤔 if I missed that part I’m sorry, squirrel 😂 see ya soon😊
I like the under 25' length with a king and no dinette. They need to rethink the tv placement and give an option for a theater or reclining loveseat instead of the couch thing there now. I'd figure out a way to run 16" wheels so that LT tires are an option.
I really do like this floor plan. As a Ford Ranger owner is slightly out of my league however. I would keep it a queen and I wish the couch was wider but obviously the slide would need to be whiter. Also what would be cool is instead of having the pull out ottoman footrest have that somehow be like one of those coffee tables that lips up and that would be your dinofa. Or just give me a bar top style seating in a couple camper
I have the mallard m210rb. I’m not a huge person and neither is my husband so the toilet placement no big deal. There is also storage area under the mattress above the shoe thing. Probably the only thing I would change would be put reclining seats in the slide out. That little couch really isn’t comfortable for old folks. And soooo many sites we can get in where a bigger trailer we couldn’t We like it
All in all it is not bag nice tanks, draws in the kitchen, bed is ok, nice size to tow, as long as the solar can power a few things all good but the bathroom door need to go to the top and bottom. 9 out of 10
good man cave for the single bachelor who might be... popular with the ladies shall we say.... not me but some guys.... excellent setup for that kind of dude for sure hehe.... a king bed is very nice on those rainy days, they do make a great lounge to watch a movie if you have tv trays and dont make a mess. i used a king bed in corner with pillows around for my living room couch once.
This is the first of your videos I’ve watched on a North Trail. I’m impressed with it but did like Heartland’s Big Horn back in my 5th wheel days. I’m a Rockstaff fan but this might be a lower cost alternative. I kind of like it not having everything to reduce the cost. For example my 2021 has a TV…I’ve never watched it. It’s only there for resale at this point. Keep up the good work.
Hello someone already said this and think hes right, Perfect layout, but if they made this with a murphy bed. i would go with that considering the size of the camper.
I ike the floor plan. I would prefer a Murphy Bed and replace the sofa with a dinette or table and chairs. I would add solar power. A fold-up ceiling mount TV bracket would free up all of that lost cabinet space.
If I had to change anything it would be swapping the kitchen and the theater seating. The camp side needs big windows - I don't think many folks like to see the sewer/water side while watching TV... #NerdHerd
I have a 2012 North Trail FX17 and looking for a newer one. I prefer the layout of mine just wish it had a slide like this one. I feel the refrigerator on this one is in a really inconvenient place right in front of the entry door and the TV placement seems a bit difficult as well.
Solar prepped, but not onboard. So, the DC fridge will drain the batteries, microwave is not usable and am i correct in assuming the air fryer oven is unusable as well unless plugged into shore power? So definitely not a great boondocker as is? Also, i would prefer a standard opposed dinnette. Otherwise, i really liked this design.
Is it possible to have the bed swapped out for a Murphy bed. It seems that it will add more interior storage as well as more guests would be able to be in the trailer.
It's just not something they offer as it turns out. I was in an Ibex recently that does something like that -- the 19MSB The 20MDS Ibex is also quite similar
Odd they would have a king in that tight of space. Getting around the side of the mattress is awkward. Looks like the mattress is taking up some of the bedside stand. The design on the bathroom door, wall treatment on the slide, even the glass insert and the kitchen backsplash is kewl!! No price listed, dang. Found it! Nice!!!
We have a king bed in our 37 ft. rig and all that I can say is that it's no fun trying to do the worm into and out of the bed because there is just not any room to sit on the side of the bed and lay down like you normally would. Also, my knees and thighs positively dread making the bed. My husband and I are both large and in my opinion, a king bed is just too big for an 8ft. wide travel trailer. I did like the open shoe storage, but I would probably be looking for baskets or something to contain whatever is being stored under the bed.
I very much appreciate seeing it with the slide closed! Thank you for that insight.
You bet
Yes. Love the "Road Mode" . Very important to know what you can and can't do while traveling.
I’ll keep doing it!
Awesome road mode. It's the only style of slide out that I would think of purchasing.
It really is!
Totally agree. I really don't want a slide, but if I could just leave it in road mode even when not on the road (like this one), I'd take it!
@@debzfiedler6100 Just be careful and do not occupy the slide unless it's fully extended or you will damage it, true story, Josh did a video on this !
Definitely like seeing slide closed too.
good to know! TY
Very nice! Air fryer oven is cool. Why is there such a big gap at the top of the bathroom door though?
The "shoe garage" is a perfect place for a litterbox and cat supplies. I like it open
TY!
This is a perfect layout for my parents that are swingers! That king size bed will allow them to get down to business without having to pay for a hotel some nights when they travel!
Ew
Okay 😳
4 man bed
eww
Too much information😮
I can tow up to 6k with a vehicle payload of 1k. I am figuring a CCC of 1,500 if a TT Rv is more than adequate. This fits the bill. And I can lose the king and put in a queen in instead. Since it is just me and my two doggies, this RV type is perfect for the job.
My list of what I am looking for:
3.500 min - 4,500 max trailer dry weight
Able to fit 1,500 in cargo (anything more is not necessary)
Theatre seating over dinette
Queen bed
Adequate storage for said cargo
21' -25' length
400w solar capability
No carpet
Dual axle with spare
An awning for shade
This fits that bill.
I like the idea of more stuff being "prepped". That way I can add those in later if I want to and not have to pay extra now. For a budget, I'd take a larger CCC over fancy add ons any day.
It said the CCC was over 3k which is a lot. Really a lot
Thx David
Over all that is a nice one!
In the future, if possible, I'd loose the bathroom linen closet and use the extra space to do a rectangular shower and better toilet placement. I would also like to see a dinette option.

Some interesting concepts, Definitely a unit to consider.

MSRP thankfully isn’t what you pay at Bish’s but I don’t disagree with your point
Twin beds up front and you are rockin!
I can see it
There is a real answer to the “why here” for a USB port by the command center. There are some “control gadget” accessories that would make sense to mount there that can be connected to USB power, like electronic leveling aids, temperature alarms, and cellular hotspots.

No. Solar ready which sounds the same but means all the wiring is done.
Just plug in a panel
I like this combo of layout and weight!
Love the headboard and curtain and sleeper for the grand kiddos. Its great for travel mode! Could use bigger windows camp side.
Great idea!!
Nice trailer. I would have put a window the same size as the one in the slide and centered it in the galley.

I personally like the king bed.
TY!
That looks like a great weekender.
It is!
Love the king bed and shoe garage. I don’t know anything about this brand but they are certainly trying to include a good amount of comfort. Obviously, you don’t get a lot of storage space in such a small space but not bad overall.
I like the floorplan, but it does seem a little short on closet space. But the underbelly storage, is, insanely huge. As always, you did a great job, Josh!😊. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I love the king bed, but tv placement could be better. Love this camper. Great size for 2.

Great great little RV. Luv the free standing table Swiss army couch set up. Bathroom size is ridiculous. I’m 5’4 and the elbow room is way too important. Campside windows yes yes yes. Luv the roof being walkable! The solar ready is the only way to go! For the size the water tanks are great. Hot and cold outside hook up is a plus for an economically sensitive camper ❤
Yeah when you start trying to pack big stuff into a small rig something had to give. And in this case it's the bathroom. I know it's an issue for some folks in this RV.
That open storage could be easily fixed with some baskets. Not an issue for me.
👍🏻 ty
I like the idea of the shoe garage but if it had a fold down door that would be great. I feel in a small TT if something is out in the open it makes look a bit messy
I've been wondering about this for some time now, and your comment about right- versus left-handed folks made me decide to mention it. Since the vast majority of us are right-handed, why don't designers make sure to place the toilet such that it will have our right sides next to the shower? Just a thought...
I really don't disagree. If you're going to chose one or the other.. then why not the big majority?
I love this model and no Murphy Bed is a bonus for me.
They really did a solid job here I think!
VERY similar to our Heartland Mallard 210RB. BUT I like that they allow more head room around bed on this one!
Mallard is actually based on north trails. Same build. Just slight tweaks
Personally I prefer less windows just like my cabin less windows and higher off the ground you have to climb in to them
We looked at this model and compared it to the Rockwood 2109S, it has some nice features although we prefer the Rockwood!
I think this one would be good for trips 2 weeks or less. Can't see if your retired, like us, going for 2, 3, or 4 months.
2 weeks or less I'd consider it.
Have a Jesus filled day everyone

This is similar to the Jayco 166FBS which I like better but I love the dinofa do it all and the air fryer oven better! Great video! Supporter from San Diego, CA here!
Yeah just a bit bigger
Great cargo capacity.
As far as I'm concerned having a TV or not is one of those six of one a half dozen of the other. Without the TV I can purchase a unit that is much better than anything the manufacturer will install. I can always replace the existing unit but then what do you do with the old unit?
For me the jury is still out on the 12V compressor fridge. Yes it starts to cool down faster but it still took a good 24 hours to come down to temperature and stabilize to where you could open the door and not have a long recovery time (I base this on temp. measurements I took). It also doesn't seem to run any less than the 2-way fridges we had in previous trailers. Our trailer has the Furion which does not have circulation fans and we found food near the back would freeze until we installed some expansion rods to keep a 1 - 2 inch gap. Models that have a fan will probably not have this problem and act more like a residential unit. I was pleasantly surprised that it was fairly quiet and was not obtrusive when we were trying to sleep.
On the bathroom linen storage I prefer doors from the aesthetics but we have found that towels stay put in the open cabinets as long as they are fully in the cabinet. We had both rolled and flat folded towels and found as long as they are wide enough the frame keeps them from falling out. This result was unexpected but I won't argue with it.
I'd like to see the battery cutoff switch mounted higher.
I like what they did here and really like the wider stance. My biggest concern is I’m right handed😊 I would opt for the queen personally but it’s a good layout. I would have to go to TH-cam school for the airfryer😂 Thanks again Josh🤗🤗🤗 oh by the way, does it just have the attachment for the ladder or is ladder included? What’s the point of having a walkable roof if you can’t get up to it🤔 if I missed that part I’m sorry, squirrel 😂 see ya soon😊
I like the under 25' length with a king and no dinette. They need to rethink the tv placement and give an option for a theater or reclining loveseat instead of the couch thing there now. I'd figure out a way to run 16" wheels so that LT tires are an option.
Thank you for watching!
I really do like this floor plan. As a Ford Ranger owner is slightly out of my league however. I would keep it a queen and I wish the couch was wider but obviously the slide would need to be whiter. Also what would be cool is instead of having the pull out ottoman footrest have that somehow be like one of those coffee tables that lips up and that would be your dinofa. Or just give me a bar top style seating in a couple camper
I really want to see that bar style seating in more RVs
Love the decor
We have the mallard 210 RB and it is identical to this model . We love the King bed feature
Yeah, Mallard is actually a clone/sister based off of North Trail
Please PLEASE show us all the new 2024 15's. I saw layouts on Rockwoods website but want more!
Oops wrong video doh! Meant for geopro 15tb plus new designs!
I have one or two of them captured and will be working to get more as I am able!
I would love to see them doing A combo microwave/air fryer/convection oven and a 2burner induction stove top
I have the mallard m210rb. I’m not a huge person and neither is my husband so the toilet placement no big deal. There is also storage area under the mattress above the shoe thing. Probably the only thing I would change would be put reclining seats in the slide out. That little couch really isn’t comfortable for old folks. And soooo many sites we can get in where a bigger trailer we couldn’t We like it
I am a fan of smaller rigs myself for that maneuverability factor
All in all it is not bag nice tanks, draws in the kitchen, bed is ok, nice size to tow, as long as the solar can power a few things all good but the bathroom door need to go to the top and bottom. 9 out of 10
Not bad!
Ok, seeing that model from that first angle, the first thing I thought was "stumpy!".
I like the unconventional air fryer in the kitchen.
I think those air fryers will catch on
good man cave for the single bachelor who might be... popular with the ladies shall we say.... not me but some guys.... excellent setup for that kind of dude for sure hehe.... a king bed is very nice on those rainy days, they do make a great lounge to watch a movie if you have tv trays and dont make a mess. i used a king bed in corner with pillows around for my living room couch once.
I could see that for sure
Wouldn't it make sense to have a murphy bed in this model? And have two seating areas?
A few builders have tried it but weirdly it rarely proves to be successful.. which I don't fully understand
Love this RV!!!
Awesome!
Would be nice for us bad backs if the couch was a recliner set up.
This is the first of your videos I’ve watched on a North Trail. I’m impressed with it but did like Heartland’s Big Horn back in my 5th wheel days. I’m a Rockstaff fan but this might be a lower cost alternative. I kind of like it not having everything to reduce the cost. For example my 2021 has a TV…I’ve never watched it. It’s only there for resale at this point. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, pound for pound, they bring a lot of big features to a smaller size RV
Hello someone already said this and think hes right, Perfect layout, but if they made this with a murphy bed. i would go with that considering the size of the camper.
👍🏻
This would be perfect if the bathroom was a little bigger & I like the big king size bed,don't need a slide out!
I ike the floor plan. I would prefer a Murphy Bed and replace the sofa with a dinette or table and chairs. I would add solar power. A fold-up ceiling mount TV bracket would free up all of that lost cabinet space.
TY
Love the little stories
Ty!
You coming to Anderson Indiana? Just saw local dealer is becoming BishsRv and I wouldn't know about Bishs if wasn't for your videos!
Yep Yep!!
Should just put in a queen mattress and be done. Open shelf above where the tv goes
I love the ccc and length of this.
It’s really great
Now that we have ebikes, I'm surprised more manufacturers don't include a 350 lb receiver hitch to mount a HD bike rack
If I had to change anything it would be swapping the kitchen and the theater seating. The camp side needs big windows - I don't think many folks like to see the sewer/water side while watching TV... #NerdHerd
Love the cargo capacity
Could alway put a a small shelf with key hooks under it where that USB port by the control panel
Great review !! Love this unit ! The most sensible use of space I've seen.. ps I'm a yes vote on the shoe cubby :)
Awesome, thank you!
I have a 2012 North Trail FX17 and looking for a newer one. I prefer the layout of mine just wish it had a slide like this one. I feel the refrigerator on this one is in a really inconvenient place right in front of the entry door and the TV placement seems a bit difficult as well.
Try this m.th-cam.com/video/TTRSMrr4F0Y/w-d-xo.html
That’s a sharp Travel Trailer!
Solar prepped, but not onboard. So, the DC fridge will drain the batteries, microwave is not usable and am i correct in assuming the air fryer oven is unusable as well unless plugged into shore power?
So definitely not a great boondocker as is?
Also, i would prefer a standard opposed dinnette.
Otherwise, i really liked this design.
Not a great Boondocker, as is no. I don’t think he’s a really made that specifically in mind.
Is it possible to have the bed swapped out for a Murphy bed. It seems that it will add more interior storage as well as more guests would be able to be in the trailer.
It's just not something they offer as it turns out. I was in an Ibex recently that does something like that -- the 19MSB
The 20MDS Ibex is also quite similar
Odd they would have a king in that tight of space. Getting around the side of the mattress is awkward. Looks like the mattress is taking up some of the bedside stand. The design on the bathroom door, wall treatment on the slide, even the glass insert and the kitchen backsplash is kewl!! No price listed, dang. Found it! Nice!!!
It’s due to standardization. Because everything else that he was a king. This floorplan just happens to get one also.
We have a king bed in our 37 ft. rig and all that I can say is that it's no fun trying to do the worm into and out of the bed because there is just not any room to sit on the side of the bed and lay down like you normally would. Also, my knees and thighs positively dread making the bed. My husband and I are both large and in my opinion, a king bed is just too big for an 8ft. wide travel trailer. I did like the open shoe storage, but I would probably be looking for baskets or something to contain whatever is being stored under the bed.
@@chrismcgaughey8599 That's what I was thinking, baskets!
