This is why I love being able to see all sorts of different RVs -- every single one has those one or two little interesting qualities that just really captures your attention! This Coachmen camper was no exception!
The first thing I noticed in this travel trailer was the HUGE open living room feel thanks to those taller sidewalls and that big vaulted ceiling! Then, comes that amazing hidden "Pantrytainment" center!
The storage under the true queen bed is also spectacular!! The RV isn't without it's little hiccups as I touch on in the video. But overall I think it's an excellent couple's camping option that you'd enjoy quite a bit!

We are now first time rv trailer owners. With all of your knowledge & tips we felt confident in finding a trailer that fits us. I'm posting here because this is 2022 is what we purchased. Gently used and in great shape we can't wait to start camping in Kansas this spring. I would love to shake your hand in gratitude for sharing your knowledge, good jokes (and bad). We've been watching your videos for over a year and will continue.
Keep doing what you are doing
Ty will do!
As someone who likes to sleep in dark conditions that probably would make a vampire say "that's too dark" I like the window set up.
Very nice single or couples camper. Lots of storage everywhere. Love the under bed storage. Very pet friendly with the sleeping area and dish drawer. Would like a floating table to make it easier for a bigger person to sit in the dinette. Don’t like the camp stove right in front of refrigerator in the outside kitchen.
Thanks Patti. Man I appreciate seeing your little penguin pic show up every day :)
Very nice! Just wish it had a fireplace
another couple get away
and chase is getting better at not being camera shy
I will have to catch up with what he’s doing
Nerds never fail, they just nerd out for a bit! Love your work Josh!
I dunno.. I've definitely fallen on my face more than once. But you get back up and keep at it!
I LOVE that bed storage system/dressing area!
Me, being 6'6" tall likes the idea that they are making units for us taller people, but the killer here is no access to the bed room when the slider is in. Love the tall shower though. You short people don't know how good you have it when it comes to travel trailers.
Yeah but we can reach stuff on the top shelf at the grocery store with ease! :)
The hidden storage I like. I would personally use it as a hidden gun storage for when I am camping
Tanks josh got your own channel, nice to see josh is back to talking about dogs miss them.
!!!
Love this floorplan, especially the big bathroom. I would buy a piece of memory foam for the dinette and leave it in bed mode for in transit sleeping w/o extending the slide.
🐶Boston terrier. Not thrilled with the kitchen. Love the height and the hidden storage. Like the bed being true queen and the underbed storage but my husband would have a hard time lifting it with me in it ( he’s a very early riser). We have a grill on an arm that folds to the back of the camper but swings to the side of the kitchen when using.
I like the double slide to move the cook top to the side.
Love your videos Josh. Always great to see and learn new things. My wife and I purchased this model last February. It’s a great floor plan for us and gives us more of what we need and less of what we don’t. Keep up the good work!
Glad you like them! Please feel free to share where you like something or have a question!
My husband and I bought the 2021 version of this trailer. We love it!
Nice! Any good tips for it you’ve learned and could share with the rest of us?
There's not a lot of storage in the bathroom. We put our towels in the side closets of the bedroom. I store larger things for the kitchen under the seats in the dinette, like my countertop ice maker. Get a stepstool for items in the freezer because it is deep and up high. We got another mattress for the bed. We use our memory foam topper for the dinette when it's made into a bed to make it softer. We actually slept 8 in it with an air mattress on the floor and two teens in the theater seats that don'tlay down flat. We cook on a wood fire mostly. We also have a huge electric roaster we use for brisket. Put your snacks on the table or in the fridge because it is a constant opening of the entertainment center if you put them in storage. There is a solar panel on the roof and it runs the fridge with no problems. Get the second a/c if you live anywhere it gets above 90°, especially if kids are running in and out. It was that hidden storage that sold my husband. I was happy to have the camp kitchen.
The "PLEASE DO NOT USE TOLIET" signs on all these trailers are winding my inner spelling nerd up
I was getting triggered by it too. You're not alone. Ironically its the people who can't read (aka the kiddos) that likely need the signs.
I might of said this, but honestly this is it. This is the one we want Josh. Its everything we could or would want in an RV. I love it so much. Thank you. We saw another review and dude didnt even show the coolest feature, The secret room. You are the best! Thank you Brenda and Ken
Wow! High Marks! Thanks for watching :)
👍👍on this TT. Always enjoy your bloopers. Josh I know that you’re enjoying not having to video outside where it’s a little colder. Another 👍👍👍👍👍👍for the great information video keep’m coming, have another great day, God
Just walked through a '23 model this morning. We really liked it. All it needs is an electric fireplace, we've seen many manufacturers put them in the hidden pantry doors.
The outdoor kitchen is a little lacking. Loose the pull out stove and you could fit a small sink next to the refer, under the bathroom sink. Just give it a quick connect under there. We use a GCI folding camp kitchen, best outdoor accessory we've bought, next to our outdoor kitchen anyway. We even started using an electric griddle/grill to save on propane.
The under bed set-up is what really sells it for me. That should be standard across the board. Our two Corgis would love it under there.
We currently have the Alpha Wolf 26RB, so same basic floorplan. This one is a little shorter and lighter. We have the walk in pantry. Honestly I think you get more storage in this layout. Also you gain at least a foot in floorspace in the living room this way.
If it just had that fireplace we'd have probably been talking trade in this morning.
I love seeing the comparison between this and the similar Alpha. Overall I found myself nodding along and tend to agree with everything you've mentioned here!
That...is awesome! Even the few things I don't like just don't seem worth mentioning! This is 99% perfect! I feel like I'm cheating on my favorite brand Flagstaff/Rockwood, but a spade is a spade, this is amazing.
As for the camp stove, tell Coachmen to make the following modification:
Camp stove pulls straight out, then put a sliding tray so the stove can pull out toward the left, out of the way, keeping it attached to the camper but moving it out of the way of the fridge. Get me? So a side-to-side slide after pulling out the stove.
I get you
Yes that could work but what if they made that sliding part into an actual drawer and then had a griddle come off the back bumper that comes out and around and you still have the griddle on the left out of the way of the fridge?
Hey Josh... I appreciate when you are able to point out a manufacturer's consideration of interior pet "conveniences". The pet feeders are nice. What I would like to see is more consideration being given to kitten litter boxes. The under bed location almost gets there, but not quite. That said, a few more adjustments to a "standard" sized litter box(es) location would be greatly appreciated. I think the first manufacturers to purposefully address that issue will be rewarded.
What would you need to see changed to be more kitty friendly?
@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks for asking. In this review, the under bed area gets really close. Instead of the framed "openings" under the right side of the bed "cabinetry", leave that side totally open and unobstructed. For those of us with kittens or cats, the left side under bed cabinetry could then be used for kitten / cat related supplies, with the "center" walkway being open and unobstruxted. Mind you, this kind of arrangement requires routine / regular care of the litter boxes.
It would be great to find a purposefully designated area in a different location throughout the RV to accomplish such a task as well. With RVs removing carpet, maintenance and clean up are getting easier, but often times one has to contend with the idea that the litter boxes are exposed. One RV, the Rockwood Signature Travel Trailer 8324SB again has a perfect spot that is not executed on well enough. Take the bench area of the dinette. You have storage access from the outside and inside. I believe you can lift the seat cushion and all, but it would be ideal for the manufacturer to provide an open side entrance so the kittens / cats can do their business without having to keep the seat top open all the time. Because it has outside access, it would be sooo much easier to clean the litter boxes... akin to the idea of RVs that have a garbage opening on the counter of the kitchen that is accessible to an outside access door to pull the trash out without having to traipse throughout the RV to remove your garbage.
Does that make sense??? Dogs & cats are usually addressed on RV pet considerations when feeding is being discussed. Dogs are required to go outside to do their biz, but cats can successfully accomplish their mission with the use of litter boxes inside. Minimal manufacturer modifications could be made to "fix" the issue. Hope that helps. And again, as always, thanks for being one of the best most open, honest and transparent RV reviewers in the business! We greatly appreciate you!

Awesome floor plan. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
I thought it was pretty solid! Just recorded its Apex sister today actually
We have a German Shepherd and German Shorthair. They love camping too! Enjoy your videos, thanks!
Oh oh, there's no fireplace, we want a fireplace for sure.
🐶 Chihuahua, she loves to camp and is getting use to kayaking.
Do you have one of those floatation vests for her?
@@JoshtheRVNerd not yet, we took her out one time and she was in a harness on a leash. it took her a few minutes to feel safe inside and then she just laid down. This year she will have a life jacket. She is a Chi. Rat Terrier mix, so she is an awkward in the sizing department.
@@rebeccagumm65 Kinda how our dog is with everything new. At first he's an anxiety mess. Then he just lays down touching one of us and everything is fine lol
Sliding the griddle sideways out of the way sounds good to me. We had a beautiful loaded up bounder with a plastic bathroom sink. ???!!!
Great video Josh. Great TT but access to the bed in road mode is a must.
Try this one: bit.ly/3iC5Hn9
Great honest review. The kitchen counter is just too small. Would rather not have the outdoor kitchen and have storage in the bathroom.
Thank you! I always try to be fair but sometimes a lot of it is just subjective
That hidden pantry is perfect. My guns have a hideout. On top of that, the under the bed storage is great. Just wish it was about 7-10 feet longer.
I've got a 2021 Spirit 3379BH, and wow... what a trailer!
Treated you well has it?
@@JoshtheRVNerd It's been fantastic other than a few little fixes here and there, but that's to be expected. The layout is second to none, which is why I had to buy it all the way out in Tennessee. Not a great "four seasons" unit, but I did survive living in it full-time for the last six months... in Idaho.
Dalmatian mix rescue 🐶
She sleeps on the dinette bed ... We never have the table up! Lol
Lucky Dog :)
Luv it. I may have to pull the trigger on this one. Half ass camp kitchen, not a deal breaker. No roof ladder, that's pushing it. Have to see the price. Thanks Josh!
Josh, you are so awesome. AND this rv is too.
Wow Ty :)
Hey Josh, big fan. I have a chihuahua. Genetically engineered for camper living.
Hahaha
Glad you guys rebranded.. I love my coachmen 2145rbx… it suites us well
It's been a fun experience for me. I'm really enjoying all the new stuff!
Super appreciate the tip to be aware of your tow vehicles payload. Almost nobody does it and that is just one of the reasons you remain head and shoulders above the competition.
And not only does the stove not have back splash, but the sink also didn't appear to have one either....oversight?
And our pooch is a Lhassapoo. Lhassa Apso/Poodle mix.
Pretty nice. Love the residential queen bed and the theatre seats. I'm not typically a fan of an outdoor kitchen and as you mentioned there needs to be a modification where the griddle swings to the left so that you don't block the fridge but what I do like is the fact that the camp kitchen is not directly under the indoor kitchen thereby blocking and eliminating cabinet access. I think there's enough storage in the bathroom to accommodate anyone's needs. And speaking of the bathroom yes the plastic sink and miniature faucet do look pretty cheap. However I really like the layout particularly the 30x36 shower with the door and as you call it the fluffy friendly toilet. It's also nice that there is a good amount of counter space in the bathroom to accommodate getting ready in the day. I would like more countertop space in the kitchen because it definitely is tight as far as prep space goes but perhaps if you did your $40 table hack you could bring the dinette table over and use it as additional prep space in the kitchen area. I like the 12 volt fridge and the hidden pantry is very clever. Plenty of space to store pantry goods and other things such as adult beverages. I appreciate the use of pocket doors as it makes access so much easier. It's too bad there isn't a second door into this RV so that it would be usable in road mode but maybe in the next version of this unit. The lighter color cabinets are nice and the doors to access the under bench storage is helpful although a drawer would be ideal. Yes my dogs take up a fair amount of my bed. And heaven forbid I get up in the night as I am not getting my spot back! Vanderbed storage is interesting. I'm not sure that I'm in love with the idea of having to lift the bed to get to the storage. But I guess it's better that they gave you some built-in storage then not because the storage looks on the side of the bed is pretty limited and it doesn't look like there's room for any kind of drawers at the end of the bed which I'm okay with cuz I'd rather have a real queen bed than a short queen bed and a few shower little drawers built into the back wall. I think my dogs might find it interesting hiding under the bed I might have to put something there to block it off so that I don't have to go on a hunt each time I need to leave making sure that everybody is secured. I would most likely put a small table in to use and turn the theater seating into a dynofa and keep the dinette in the down position and cover it and it will probably become the dogs sofa.
This comment might be a few months late, but… we are starting to narrow down our second camper first and were looking at some at our local dealer. When we saw this my wife was thrilled with the storage of the “plosetainment” center. Wanting more info when we got home, naturally we looked to see if you had reviewed this. (Truth be told I did watch it when it came out… but forgot) This is now a strong candidate for us! I also really appreciate the similar models you listed. Keep up the good work!
Lol it’s like having a short term memory.. you get to meet a bunch of cool people all over again!
Glad we got you some footage. She’s a good one!
Love the cool & more storage stuffs. Def fun seeing dif stuff too. Tyfs!
Josh the traveling RV Nerd guy? :)

Added this one to my list of possibles.
Changes or at least options that I would rather have. Dump the outside kitchen and have more storage under the bathroom sink, drawers on one side cabinet under the sink. 12 refrigerator. Dump the theater seating for a pull out sofa bed and if you want to put your feet up, just get a couple of small ottomans. Outside of those prefered changes. I love the lay out.
🐶 golden retriever and Yorkie! Oh and a bearded dragon 🐉
Well.. that's quite the mix lol
Great floorpan............especially like the hidden pantry behind the TV. Not too sure about the lack of bedroom access when the slide is in though. Almost wish they would have put a second exterior entry door in the bedroom for that reason.
I agree with you regarding the love/hate relationship with the exterior camp kitchen. They seem to be such a great idea, but the execution is usually terrible. This is coming from someone that really likes to cook outside! As my trailer does not have an exterior kitchen I use a 17" Blackstone griddle with a Blackstone stand for most of the cooking, and a Coleman "Fold N Go" like stove for the occasional time I would like stove burners. My trailer does have the "Propane Cooker Hooker" connection so I can run the griddle from the trailer propane supply, but the "fold N Go" needs the 1 pound bottles. So if I were to design the Exterior Kitchen, I would prefer the same functionality as my makeshift exterior kitchen has. One of the biggest hassles I have is carrying all the "stuff" from inside the trailer to the outside so I can cook it. So I would keep the outside stove, add a side mounted griddle as you suggested (under the awning please), and I would delete the outside fridge and put in a cabinet/spice rack that could hold supplies such as olive oil, spices, cooking utensils, dishes, etc. These things could be left in the cabinet permanently so they are there when you are ready to cook. A sink would be great, but only if it were fully functional and big enough to actually wash all the dishes and utensils you would use. Being the camp kitchen is compact on this trailer, there is likely not enough room for a sink. But that is just me, I am sure that there are others that would rather keep the outside fridge. I guess that would boil down to personal taste. One interesting outdoor kitchen design I have seen is on the Lance 2075. It has an exterior kitchen that pulls out the back. Now granted I would want different kitchen appliances, but I do like the layout of this kitchen and the idea of the pullout design. (just saying, I would not buy this trailer for a number of other reasons, I did find the exterior kitchen idea interesting,)
Regarding the lack of a ladder on the trailer, that is a dealbreaker for me. As I camp often in areas with lots of trees, it is necessary to clean the tops of the slide outs before you bring them in for travel as they accumulate all sorts of leaves, pine cones, pine needles, etc. I did notice the trailer in the video did not have slide toppers, so cleaning the slide tops would be a must around here. And you never know when you need to get on the roof during a trip.
Thanks again for your attention to detail during the videos. Always enjoy watching!
Man TY for all that!!
Hats off to you as always. Excellent review. I hate to be that guy…but, the sign on the toilet is making my eye twitch. Lol.
Might as well. They printed that same sign spelled incorrectly for all of the Arby’s in the entire display. They were like 40 of them… Drove me nuts.
We have this EXACT model. Love every aspect of it. Has a slide topper put on. Had second air added as we got the 50amp version. The table when put in bed mode is an EXACT fit for a twin mattress also! Great little camper. One downside is no ladder. The little stove outside is useless. Just use the refer for drinks. The motion sensor lights we disabled in the bathroom and at the end of the bed. Come on too much when wanting to watch TV at night. Looks llike a light show on and off on and off...... No regrets in the purchse though!
I love real owner feedback like this and thank you so much for taking the time to share it with everybody.
I love this. I’d need a folding counter height table because I cook a LOT. I need a square of space for a good sized chopping board. But it wouldn’t need to be dedicated space. Maybe could turn that table into an adjustable height free floating table.
Omg that hidden door pantry is freaking awesome.
🐶 We have a little 9lb black mini poodle named Clancy. He would love that under the bed spot. He spends 25% of his time holed up sleeping under our couch with just his head poking out. LoL
Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos. I’m driving my husband crazy with RV facts. 🤣
hahahaha My pleasure :)
= 3 of them / there fore we are always looking for places for litter box. So far the one we like for the kitties is the Rockwood 8263MBR and using a door under the kitchen sink for them to go thru and the litter pan be inside the outdoor compartment door for cleanign it.
lol the cat in the box emoji is amazing. I've never seen that before!
Love that litterbox location ideav with outside access. One cat lover to another--thank you!
🐕 Hi Josh. Our Crosby is an 11 yr old Dalmatian. We never camp (or do much of anything) without him!
Do they tend to have longer lifespans? My family had a couple Bernese mountain dogs that I absolutely loved, but they’re not along with breed
@@JoshtheRVNerd Unfortunately we haven't seen many live past like 12-15 yrs old. We have many pull your hair out moments with him. But,were also mindful that we won't have many left.
Nice trailer. The compartment door in storage could be used for pool sticks or pool noodles lol. As far as where the outside fridge & stove are maybe just grab a drink before you start cooking.
Better make it two just to be safe :)
I love this floorplan with the kitchen and hidden storage. But losing out on the bathroom under sink storage for an additional outside kitchen makes this a no for me. It would be nice to get this concept without slides too. Love your videos by the way, it makes shopping for an RV so much easier.
Well thank you 😊
Great coachnice find still love your channel.oh by the way your brother is starting to get the hang of it tell him to keep up the great work👌👍and what you do outstanding🎉📹
Good to hear! He said he's earned a new appreciation for what I do here. It's not all just clowning around
I just .. ya know.. do that a lot lol :)
This is the trailer that I have. However mine is a 2021. The only real difference is mine still has a carpet in the slide and the graphics are different. Our CCC is more as well. It's 1700lbs. I love it but my wife wishes the kitchen prep space was larger.
The front fishing rod storage is a nice idea but I don't fish. I store my flag pole and outside broom in there plus a few other things. It's hard to open because my front storage is full. I don't have that much in there but the storage is a little smaller than I like.
The storage behind the entertainment center is what sold me on this trailer. The under bed storage is nice to but we don't use it a lot.
My dog however loves it. That's her cave. She's a Havanese and she's only 14lbs.
I've changed some lights and added more like up lighting above the slide molding and led lighting on the outside under the trailer, also added a back splash and a piece of clear acrylic next to the stove to protect the wall.
All in all we love this trailer. It's not perfect but which one is?
Our dog is a Coton de Tulear. Very similar. He'd love that little space (when he's not living on our laps of course)
Josh, love your videos the most! please do a walk through on the GD Imagine 2600RB 🙌
I do believe I have one of those coming!
Was thinking it looked like my 2021 Apex 265rbss just before you mentioned that. The full queen bed is great once I put a 4inch memory foam topper on it. Wish I had the carpet less slide though.
After watching the whole video I like my Apex a lot better.
I have an update video on the 265 apex coming. I see things in each I like. They're more similar than not of course. Biggest thing I see you "gain" in this one over the Apex is the ceiling height. Other than that they're SUPER similar actually
@@JoshtheRVNerd while I like the shower in this one the Apex has better bathroom storage and a better bugger outdoor kitchen. While I like the idea of the hidden storage behind the TV I think I would rather have my walk-in. Just more convenient. I do like the under bed storage much better in this unit though. Wonder if I can modify mine 😃
I love the 8-bit Zelda sounds in the video. Good times on the NES. Also a fellow Pokemon trainer, team Instinct (Which are you Josh?).
Anyway on the sleeping 💤😴 if you can't or won't put the slide out, you can always sleep in the dinette or just sleep 💤 in the home theater recliner.
TEAM VALOR RULES
Also. Add me. My code is in the description 😂
Very impressed with this awesome floorplan with the TV and entertainment center directly across from the theater seating instead of a dinette like the Grand Design floorplans that you recently reviewed👍The color of the entire decor and their use of plywood instead of OSB is also a plus but that plastic toilet, pedestal table and no ladder is very disappointing☹️
Yes spirit has been very interesting to experience. It’s like they came so close to absolutely mailing it. And there’s one or two little things that just let you down a little. That being said their price points in comparison to something like imagine are extremely aggressive so I toilet swap would still leave you thousands behind something like a 2600 RB
@@JoshtheRVNerd in general it is still common for less luxurious rv brands to use plastic toilets.
fishing pole would go there
Similar layout to Grand Design 2600RB (I own one) as you mentioned Josh. Furion A/C scares the heck out of me. Don't like the dinette table as it's fixed but you mentioned the $40 hack to make it a floating table leg system and I would do that in a heartbeat. The under bed cabinet setup is unique, I like it. Outside fridge is nice, I don't care much for the griddle. Everyone has their own cooking weapons and I'm sure that stock thing is cheap.
What is it about the Furrion air that gives you concern, John? I am not personally aware of a frequency item causing issues with them but my job doesn't always intersect with service regularly so that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I appreciate any info you can provide!
@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks for responding to my comment Josh. I had a Furrion backup camera on the used Grand Design TT we bought and the cool blue light was on but it wouldn't transmit or connect to the screen in our rig. To Furrion's credit I contacted them and they worked with me to try and fix the issue but in the end it was determined on the used rig I bought that this camera was broken and out of warranty. I would need to buy a new $500 unit to replace it. We also have a Furrion entertainment unit in our rig and I'm not impressed by the user interface (confusing) and the bluetooth control (doesn't work well or consistently with my phone). Thank you for asking.
@@webcompanion Thank you for the insights. So often I hear someone say something like "Furrion sucks" and when I ask I get no information back.
I know the LCI Insight cameras were notorious for HORRID screen refresh rates for a while but I've also heard they've recently dealt with that (somehow?)
@@JoshtheRVNerd I think from a general engineering standpoint, these rear view cameras are TOUGH to sync well wirelessly to a receiver in our trucks. Why? Because some trailers are clad in aluminum (a wireless signal blocker) and our trucks are also wrapped in metal. A rearview camera with an antenna that runs to the front of the rig would help tremendously... as would a receiver antenna OUTSIDE the truck and tied to a monitor in the cab. Then I suspect no issues.
Over all a nice floor plan but I'd like to see a few changes and or options for it. First get rid of the dinette and let me have a free standing table with 2 chairs. Get rid of that closet behind the TV and let me have a fireplace below and a much bigger space for a TV along with a couple of cabinets above that. Get rid of the outside kitchen and let me have storage below the sink in the bathroom. Couple of 30 lb tanks on the tongue and 2 400 watt solar panels on the roof along with a good charge controller and about 600 to 800 amp battery's. Josh you are 100% correct about the manufacturers not offering black out blinds over their windows. That's just ridiculous. And, no ladder offering at all? That means you'll have to take it back to a dealer every year to have a roof inspection / maintenance done. Needless added expense for the owner.
Great video as always. One thing I can't process with sliders is how do you deal with debris, moisture like rain or snow, bird poop etc? Are you supposed to get up there prior to pulling it in and clean it each time? Same thing for critters like lizards or crawly bugs? Seems like they would be entry points into the RV. Thanks!
I have thought the same. I think it would have to be cleaned on all sides, top, bottom before I'd let it back into the camper...
Slide awnings are a good way to keep debris at bay (the worst of it anyway). I prefer to check the slide roofing real quick before retracting the slide.
@@marysaltlife1427 I always sweep out my slides to clean and check for foreign objects or even use a leaf blower to clean out the slide as much as I can before I slide it back in.
Slide toppers help so much. But yes,,,, clean the slide out before pulling in. Take a ladder and a blower!
7:50 I like it!
This one is a bit of a paradox for me, Josh. One the one hand, I can see how this might be attractive to a young single, or couple, but one the other hand it looks too much like a college dorm room in wheels for my taste.
Otherwise, it checks off a lot of the boxes! It offers a lot for it's size; and it's fairly nice . I especially like the way that it uses the bedroom space beneath the mattress. Excellent! 😋👍
Maybe they need to make two models off this same floorplan:
This one, which can be marketed primarily to younger college grads (singles, or couples).
Another model that would be finished inside for those with more... _'discerning'_ tastes. A little more upscale, but retaining the Ultralite concept.
For me, it would be too small, because at 6'6" and 285 lbs, I'd probably be like a bull in a china shop. Also, the bed would still be too small for me and my wife.
They may also consider offering the option to make it a 4-Season camper (upon order only), for those who expect to be in colder climates.
Overall, it's a nice RV.
They make others with bunks.
Nice🚽 COMMODE 🚽 space , you're right the tiny plastic sink has to go & bumper swing arm camp kitchen . Humm front storage maybe a Giant burrito
Picturing someone finding a GIANT BURRITO in that front compartment after the camper was traded in somewhere lol
Man I'm out of house 10 /14 hrs when I get home I watch your videos & watch food / challenge then I wonder why I'm a BAZOOKA butt . You're antic's make my day . 👍😂💣🚽💩💥💥💥
Hey. Awesome vids and enjoy your remarks. Extremely entertaining! Think you might want to check the spelling on the "Toilet" signage, though...
His name is Romeo.
Romeo the Toliet lol :)
Liked this one! 😺😺😺🐶🐶
TY Donna! That SUPER tall living room and big pantry are awesome
🐕🦺Blue heeler awesome dog when I can build a toy hauler that I get to you guys I’m going to have those put in for the dog awesome
LOVED THE FLOOR PLANS!
AS FAR AS THE OUTSIDE KITCHEN IS CONCERNED PUT THE BURNER ON A SWIVEL FOR ME BUT WHY NOT GET EVERYTHING OUT OF THE FRIG B4 YOU START?
4 year old Shepherd/husky 4 cats, 22 year old Siamese 5 year old tortie 4 year old Rag Doll 3 year old black/white cat. We are always looking for a camper that has a good spot for a cat box!
Holy cow! You hauling Noah's Ark around or what? LOL :)
Personally... I'd cut a circle or rectangle in the sink top, remove the refrigerator and put a clothes basket in it's place. Easy access to get dirty clothes for washing. I might have to get one of these in September for a birthday present.
For clarity.. you'd remove the large inside fridge or the smaller outside one and create an access point inside in the counter??
I THINK you mean the outside one but my eyebrows shot up when i read this
@@JoshtheRVNerd Yeah, The smaller outside fridge. I've always walked inside to get my drinks, so the spare fridge is always just extra weight to be carried around.
Hidden pantry! Panic room? Hide and seek? 😎

Very nice! 🐕 Schnauzer!
That's a dog that doesn't THINK it's a dog. They THINK they're people. I love them lol :)
🐕 a Chihuahua named Snoopy that takes up a lot of bed space.
snoopy the chihuahua lol I love it
Hello josh
Ya know Josh, after watchin all the '3 season' RV's & various campers, vans, box trucks & sleeping tents, and dining canopies w/tarps at #FreedomConvoy at -20 temps i really gotta laugh at those wanting 4 season & run to FL to be warm and hibernate in AC! 😂😂😂😂
Very wimpy CCC.
Camp Kitchen issue. I like the bumper hanger for the grill. Move it away, no fridge heat block then you could add a sink.

Can you re do the queen bed into 2 twin beds? Just for a couple that don’t share same bed. Everything else is perfect 👍🏻
Not from the factory no
Thx Josh, Love that show these with the siides closed. Wish the outside kitchen was a griddle instead. Like the all inclusive for easy traveling.
That would be cool! I like those griddle setups
3dogs, 2 little ones and a 100lb Female Golden Retriever. We don’t take them with us. The 2 little ones are too yippee. I think this RV is ok for what it is intended for. The outside grill needs to be moved. Maybe have one it hook on to the side or back or the trailer.
Lots to like about this one. 😊 Especially like the hidden storage behind the TV and the under the bed storage. A few things that require more thought though, that dog dish is useless, it’s tipped at an angle and is right in the walkway. I’m assuming the trays are removable so as a drawer it’s fine but not really necessary. Also the outdoor kitchen is poorly designed, I’d rather have the storage under the sink and center the sink in the cabinet. That ding in the woodwork you pointed out looks like they neglected to secure the top strap on the TV storage panel during transit. Lines up pretty well with the trim in the slide. 😬 But the dealbreaker is no ladder capability. I’m not interested in hauling a ladder with me. Glad you mentioned not storing the sewer hose in the compartment in the “garage”. You’re right someone will!🤮
The dog dish pulls out completely by the way. It doesn’t sit in an angle like that. I should’ve clarified butter
I like the decor and the space. But, as you pointed out, the table is too small for more than three eaters. That big U-shaped dinette takes up an awful lot of space for just three people. I hope a table and chairs is an option. Also, if you make the table free floating, as you suggest, you can pul it over to the kitchen to augment the workspace, which is lacking. If there is an option for a table and chairs, I would also replace the theater seats with a sofa bed, to make up for losing the sleeping space from the dinette.
I do believe that's available on these (the hide-a-bed that is)
🐕 two pitbulls this checks a lot of boxes
Nice! What are their names?
@@JoshtheRVNerd Bella and Zodiac
@@GTPCarpy Oh great names for dogs! I love dogs with really odd names or just super normal names like.. Kevin lol
@@JoshtheRVNerd we just stuck with the names on their kennels from the pet smart we adopted them from. We weren't that creative lol
I have a Beagle/basset hound. She is so cute.
🐶🐶🐶 House of three weens,🌭🌭🌭here.
Didn't read all the comments so it may of been mentioned... The dog leash attachment by the outdoor kitchen is to high, if you have things on the cooktop and the dog goes that direction I feel there is a real chance the leash will go across the top of the cooker :( .... sorry if it was mentioned.
No worries! I don't expect folks to read every single comment :) ASK AWAY!! :)
I see what you're saying about the leash though. TY

Josh: with no access to the bed without deploying the slide, this trailer is not nearly as road mode friendly as the Coachmen 2145 RBX. Respectfully, W.S.
You're not wrong!
Nice couples unit for 1/2 ton pickups - would sacrifice the outdoor kitchen for storage in the bathroom... the camp kitchen is not functional
We have two. a pom and shiztu yorkie
I've had shiztu's and yorkies but never a mix! Send me a picture of that on instagram or something! I need to see what that looks like
I like this type floorplan. Does anyone do a long u shape couch dinnette across the whole slide? remember the Open Range "Light" bunkhouse? they had a long seating area with removable tables and i think i have seen some that had fold out bed and recliners?? would be a better conversation area to entertain?? just my 2 cents. Great as always. thanks for sharing.
I haven’t seen stuff like that in a couple years although the Wildwood in Salem VersaLounge is darn close
Hey Josh!! Where can I check out in So Cal? Thx for the info!!!
Honey open the pantry. Im in the bathroom and need entertainment. Ill be here awhile. Franks an beans did a number lol. Love the floor plan. Not a lot of prep space in the kitchen.
Hahahaha
Can you commode mode whilst in road mode?
Yep Yep! Thought we pointed that out in the video but sometimes I forget things
We have a tortoiseshell cat. 🐈⬛
Sounds like something from Super Mario
I'm 6'8 in bare feet and the showers in any rv except for the large fifth wheels are too short for me. I wonder how this one is.
You may also check into things like an eagle HT or Rockwood signature series
Will you be doing a video on the Coachmen Northern Spirit 2764RE anytime soon? That looks like an awesome couples model but would really like your take on it.
I have a quick look at it coming in a coachmen 2024 sneak peek but i don't yet have full footage of it
@@JoshtheRVNerd cool. Well, if you get a chance just know there's at least 1 couple who would enjoy your comments on it 👍🏻
I just hatched an egg this morning lol!
#gottacatchemall
Camping with a tortoise!!! 🐢
Really?? What’s it’s name??
Will u be in Dallas tx for RV show 1st part of. March please. We need someone smart down here
Don't believe so!
Hey Josh another great and funny video. We are looking for rv's with twin beds any out there?
Painfully few. Winnebago seems to have a few. Rockwood has one.
