You keep saying it's good for a day. I keep thinking I could easily fit my stuff in that and live in it
Yes, i could live in it and save myself lots of money.
Relatable
I agree!
@Chad Kunka is yours an all season camper? Just curious. 🤷
Yeah, I was laughing at that. My husband and I are looking for exactly this sort of trailer for cross country trips.
LOVE this. My family and I traveled in an 18 foot trailer summer months all around the US when I was a kid in the 70s. Why does everything have to be so darned big, fancy and expensive these days? More smaller, please!
The ones in 70 were built stronger heavier was how they took so much ..
I was just thinking about my moms yellowstone trailer. Things gotta be pushing 50. It's small and cozy inside and has a 4 burner stove with oven in it! It's still kicking after all these years. They certainly don't make em like they usee to!
@@maryslocum9443 and people pulled em in a damn station wagon
My thoughts exactly. This Jayco is great and my grandparents hauled us all over the place in something about this size. We were comfortable and had an amazing time. Seriously my very best childhood memories were with 6-8 of us piled in one of these things. If we didn't have enough sleeping space, we made sure to carry a small tent. Don't get me wrong, I love the big fancy units but I could enjoy this unit.
Alright britt.
Own this in the Baja. LOVE it. Use it 2 months of the year - one month in spring, one in fall for Steelheading. Just me and my lab. Shower regularly, bathroom, space to store my fly tying gear and materials, great counter space for food prep, adequate propane fridge space, AND clearance to get to my favourite riverside spots without tearing the tanks off. I’m 6’2”, 230 pds. Lower bunk very comfortable. Don’t have to remake the bed/table every night/morning. Fish 12 hour days, come back to this RV for dinner, hot shower, meal, and an evening of scotch and fly tying with the lab in dry warmth before retiring.
What do you pull it with? Thinking about getting one but have a Tacoma.
Jack Wagon V6? Get a stabilizer hitch, you’ll be ok.
Jack Wagon I have a v8 Silverado
sounds like the good life what u described is my entire plan this summer 2months of campin fron June 1st to july 30th
only im.goin across canada from coast to coast
This thing has one of the best interior lay outs I've ever seen. Amazing use of space. I'd own one if I needed it.
Looking at this from a single male point of view...
This RV is perfect for me. You have a kitchen, table, seat, toilet, mini fridge, and bed. The only thing missing are disposable paper plates and a trash can.
Yep exactly
Lots of cabinet space for all your disposables! 😂
do u really think an rv would give free paper plates?
Excellent use of space.
@ablackprep they make tiny washer dryer in one unit👍
Perfect size for me and my dog! 🐕 I would love a road trip in this.
Just need a place to put it. And yes I’d live in it!
Me to
That’s an awesome little rig. Particularly for a single person or couple.
2 bunks and a fold out queen? Definitely for 4 or 5 if you know how to live in it
@@spideymcgee4718 Not a queen, a full-size, it's why he mentioned 4.
@@BFOJ0000 ah, touche. Throw a rooftop tent on there and you can do 6! Hahaha
@@spideymcgee4718 I like the idea of a permanent table. First person awake can make coffee/breakfast, read the paper, pray for the grandkids, etc, without having to wait for anyone else to wake up. While I think it’s clever, I wouldn’t use a table as a bed.
I lived in a trailer this size in the 80s with my mom and stepdad for over two years
I would like to see you do more of these small light trailers in the 2000 to 3500 pound weight class. Stick and tin trailers are just fine, if they are properly put together.
All we would want to do is go fishing at a lake or visit parks . Great size
American Rambler FEMA trailers 🤣
What about(retro) a Scottie?
Lorraine Lee Do they make any of those? Only ones I have seen are old ones. Or restored old ones. I am only aware if the short run of the winged Shasta travel trailers. And the various retro style models.
SPANK TheMonkey You mean all those formaldehyde outgassing people pickeling trailers which sat in fields until the lawsuits were settled, labeled as uninhabitable, then sold and moved to the Dakota’s oil patch and rented out to oil field workers and other poor folks in other remote locations? Those trailers? People are still living in many of them and the formaldehyde outgassing has pretty much gone away. Testing reveals most of them were ok after they were sold off and aired out for a while.
I purchased one like this today❤️❤️
@Kool Change for camping 😳
@@clrclr9683 "Why?" ...some people, I'll tell ya! Whew! Good luck & enjoy!
@@seanoleary1979 I didn’t get it either 🤷🏽♀️. These are also great for tailgating.
We have one that size & we love it! Enjoy it! Worth the fun you’ll have. 👍🏻
Congratulations 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Yippy, Let The Good Times Roll....👊
I've had two of these, and they're great! It was eveerything my wife and I needed. Bunks for 3, dinette sleeping area, four-burner stove, great fridge, stereo, etc. The front window makes everything feel open and spacey. -Ned
This is exactly the size my family has been looking for. I can't believe there's a bunk in it. Thanks for your videos
Check out the Coleman Lantern 17b. Roomier, better quality and less expensive. Just bought one!
Pretty impressive amenities for such a small size
You keep saying it's good for a day.I keep thinking I could live in it forever.
Stolen comment
I've owned my 2000 Gulf Stream 24 ft. "C" CLASS FORD E350 V10 GASOLINE SINCE 2005..Still looks & runs great🙏
Small travel trailers are NOT just for short trips, they are also for people who basically sleep in them and spend rest of time outside. My wife and I took a 13 footer from NH to Alaska one summer and upgraded to a 17 footer and traveled from NH to Montana, Wyoming and Utah the next. Most nights were spent at free or Government campsites. When we did stay at private RV parks I was amazed at number of people with big rigs who only seemed to come out to walk their little dogs.
This would be perfect to travel from NJ to Texas for my sister's wedding! I could take my 3 small Morkies and my Cockatiel with me so I don't have to pay a pet sitter. Lol
Can I go too?
People today are spoiled. This trailer has everything a person needs to be comfortable unless you have someone you really don't enjoy being with.😁
This is actually a nice I would totally buy this for my first RV.
I love the little ones! It’s my life goal to find the smallest TT with a toliet! The FM crew could camp quite comfortably in this. Thanks for sharing!
I have one with the Baja package. I do a lot of boondocking on public land and this trailer fits tight camp spots with ease and my tundra tows it like nothing’s behind it. Build quality isn’t the best but it’s not horrible. I got mine for $12k otd, it’s a good value for the price imo.
Don’t forget to bring a towel
Four years ago we set out to buy a small trailer and really liked the Jayco. We ended up with a 27+ ft though! It’s our 2nd Jayco and it was definitely worth the extra $$$ of other brands.
I absolutely love this small RV, it’s perfect for small family to enjoy road trips.
I would totally buy that for 13k!!👍LOVE IT!!!
Just the kind of unit looking for. Something I could use for approximately 2 months for onsite living at work, having a shower and toilet is a huge plus. Then tow home and use once in a while as guest quarters for visitors. Small enough to store away on my property or in garage and not be in the way.
I've had similar thoughts. Plus, the GVWR is low enough that I could tow it with my current minivan.
I would find a non-bunk model. Setting up and tearing down the table everyday would get pretty old, especially if you were doing that for months.
@@nathan3306 Just use one of the bunks as your main bed
@@tcg1_qc I'd have to make the lower bunk higher and make the top one higher over head space is a must of me.
I’ve been trying to find something small enough to take the family weekend camping at the beach, as well as some of our surrounding lakes and rivers , then store easily out of the way afterwards. This looks like a perfect match ,for my family’s needs . Thanks for sharing and as always for the outstanding content. 👍
Nice mini traveling hitch RV. Not too big over sized where you have to worry about do you have enough room to park it where ever you liked. You can go camping or visit relatives and park this in their driveway or yard. Great idea for RV beginners or seniors who can't drive one those oversized RV's.🚐🛣
I used to tent camp for almost 2 weeks at a time years ago. One night huh? This would have been heaven for 2 weeks camping.
No kidding!
Love the small trailers. It is a basic camper and traveler.
I'm claustrophobic. Those bunks gave me the shudders. It's like two tiny coffins with windows.
Take it out for the day?? I would totally live in that very comfortably!
@Bee Middleton you would lose, because I’ve lived in them for months at a time, I always hate coming back to a house. I’m like a hamster 🐹
There are a lot of single women buying these trailers right now all I need is a twin size bed or enough room for me and puppy and a decent shower and inside toilet. Thank you for sharing this is the perfect size and price for me
Damn, this was actually really nice
Love these smaller RV reviews keep up the good work. Please do Jayco Hummybird's.
Good review and nice camper. Thing is to tell Big Truck and Big RV: Many of us do not want a huge house on the highway. I don't want to need a monster truck to haul a monster sized camper. I'm researching light weights that will accommodate me and occasionally my daughter and grandson. To me, this is a great starter camper and the perfect size! Don't even have to settle for a wet bath. The price is nice!
Bought this camper in 2015. Family of 3 and sometimes our daughter brings a friend. We love it.
Very, very nice! Really is surprisingly comfortable looking considering the size. I would love having one of these and just take the kids on a road trip😊
3:08. you're welcome..
Yeah inside is the only thing I care about. Lol
Thx friend
thank you so much ,
Looking for you, thank you.
Your the best!
WOW! I feel like this layout could be used in some of these truck or van conversions! Im particularly impressed with how they have a full bathroom in such a small space! I will deal with a black tank for the convenience of being able to relieve myself and shower while out and about!
That's perfect for a single guy like me. I think its awesome, totally spacious.
I love these trailers! I had the 17ft bunkhouse model and hauled it on a camping excursion from the Colorado Rockies to the Ozarks in northern Arkansas and back without a single issue, it was ridiculous easy to get in and out of gas stations too! My only gripe being not having an automatic pilot light, I got a little frustrated on an occasion or two having to hand light in the wind but for the price of the rig there is no room for complaint. A roof mount a/c is nice too, a lot of times I've seen side mounts on these little guys and to my experience they only seem to cool what is directly in front of them. When all is said and done I would totally buy this unit, the only thing I would do is drop the table for good, install a standard spring or memory foam mattress in the dining area, and just eat outside or off of tv trays. Nice informative video, thank you.
Don't you love♥️ the Ozarks??
I agree with making the dining table a permanent bed. It's just me and my teenager and our dogs. We can eat outside or in the winter we can eat on trays. I like this but I think I like the hummingbird just a bit more. My child loves to bake and the hummer comes with a convection oven.
*I could LIVE in this!*
Come on girl, you got to go outside to change your mind😂
Hey Crystal, I watch your TH-cam videos. Yes you COULD live in this, and you would love it. Everything you need and nothing you don't. I recently bought an even smaller Jayco and I love mine. My plan is live-aboard, like you're doing. These pull nicely, and by staying small with ones like these, they're not bad around town too - although you could park it at your campsite and go into town without it.
The sink size and counter space is FANTASTIC!
Love this trailer! Great room for a reasonable price 👍🏻
I need this in my life.
Going off the grid, amid Corona
Not a bad idea at All. Sounds good
I spent a glorious summer in a 3 man pup tent my first summer in Alaska. I would have felt like a king in that little unit.
My family loves these reviews bc you helped us choose some for living
Wow this is amazing. One of the best smaller RV’s I’ve ever seen. I hate the ones that have the bed you have to always change. I could even live in this by myself. Too bad I don’t have a SUV to pull it😩😔
I have the truck if you have the trailer! Could be fun...
Buy a Toyota Sienna to pull and you'll have all the extra space to put things or people while pulling the trailer. That's what I'm going to do, in a few years for my retirement out west.
That’s a sweet little camper. I can’t wait to get into one of these one day! 😎🤟
This would be perfect for me. I am a single mom with 3 kids. I already drive a mini van so I think I could manage this. lol!
Wow! I love it! I could spend a long time in this!
Lived in a similar RV for 6 months while house was being built. Worked great for my wife and I and 2 dogs. We did buy a very good 10 inch foam mattress. Had air, heat, full shower.
Ik it’s only for camping but I’m getting one when I go to college since I’ve always wanted one so ima live in it.
College mates in the past stealth lived outa Van's this would've been a hell of a upgrade for university. Lol
I like it. I really want and am shopping for a good mid size truck and get a camper just like this. Nice and informative review.
I am also shopping for the same combo and would love to follow your quest . More eyes on the prize will help my final decision. Please consider sharing with me your findings
32, single, no kids. I would sell my house and live in one of these. I can always shower at Planet Fitness.
Oh! That's my plan!
It has a shower/bath
you're doing it right!! me too!!
Everyday??
So your going to pay $90 per night at RV parks? 90 x 30 = $2700/month to live in a tiny metal box.
LOVE this camper!! Couldn’t believe it had bunks too!♥️
After viewing this video three words come to mind: I love it!
I really really like this!!!! My favorite is the fact that it has an actual bathtub!!!
NicNic he showed it for about one second.
I have this camper and love it! I actually lived in it for a couple of months while building my house.
It gets you out there. Heck of an upgrade from a tent!
I love that it has those 2 extra beds
I love it i also could spend traveling time it this just so nice.
Best layout i ever seen at this size and budget. Wonderfull
This is very nice. Just what we were looking for our family of three
I can live in this!
I need to find some land.
That thing is awesome, love the double bunks ppl always got something to complain about...🤦♂️
We have the non bunk Forest River version of this. We love it! Easy to tow and park. Has everything you need for two. We use it about 8-9 months of the year here on Canada’s west coast best coast.

جودة بالصناعة وخفيف على السيارة وثابت بالطريق
نعم شكرا لكم بهذا العمل🌷
we actually own this exact model. it’s not very spacious, it’s great for weekend excursions with no more than 2-3 people but any more than that it begins to be extremely cramped and hard to move around in, especially around other people
exactly…we have friends with this trailer and it’s NOT huge
We’re looking at one for my son to live in while staying on my brother’s property in Montana. Would you recommend for cold weather? He does have alternate access to shower/toilet so won’t need to fill tank in winter and worry about freezing...
@@cb7376 I would say yes, It has a built in propane heater with a controllable thermostat on the wall next to TV shelf. Walls aren’t super thick but are more than enough to insulate through cold and hot weather
@@leviwells8707 Thank you!
That is so cool that they're releasing 80s style retro interiors
😐😬😂
Thank you for your coffee l videos of these campers! I'm new to the camping world and you have educated my ignorance.
This us really cute! Perfect for young families. I love it 💖
I bought one of these a few years ago for 10k. Tons of fun but it is cheaply made. Overall it’s held up pretty well for a family of four. Perfect when I go fishing with just one of my kids. Crazy cramped with the whole family. But still fun and cheap.
Ur POOR
Love how he grabbed the handle to try and open the door and saved himself by saying oh it’s a grab handle lol
Looks great for weekend escaping!
This little trailer is AMAZING!! I just found my new trailer for tailgating at the Texas Rangers game, college football and concerts. I'll be able to get out of the Texas heat for awhile with enough space for prepping food for the grill And a bathroom! Bunks for a nap too and absolutely perfect! Thanks for posting this vid! 🙏😊
I’ve always wanted to live in one of these. 👍🏼
Love your videos. Wish you'd check out a hybrid sometime. We have a Launch 16rb and love it. I think you'd be surprised by the room they offer.
Keep up the great videos!
Fantastic design with fair price, BRAVO.
Appreciate your straight forward, informative video.
Thank you, wonderfully fun!
I own the 195rb and love that think so much I went from a big grand design to the small jayco 195 and could never be happier It feels so big even though it’s 7’ wide and 19’ inside
I could turn that into a home. Remove the bunks, use the back of the space for a closet/storage and put in a desk to work on my computer. I love this little trailer. You're right about the cargo trailer- yeah, you're starting with a shell, but-- you'd spend about the same in the end.
Love it! Would take in a flash!
I can travel around the country on that small RV trailer I think is perfect
Good layout, Nice windows.
Would love to see a more modern, light and bright interior.
Check out the In Tech Sol Horizon.
Very nice review! I lived in a 17 foot Scamp almost 2 years, it was very efficient. Loved it.
17’ You mean 16’?
Love it!!!!! Best I’ve seen for the money!!
I have the 174bh, very similar except for there’s a full size queen up front with a separate dinette, little more roomy and right around the same weight. I use it for quick weekend camping at off-road events so it suits my needs.
What type of vehicle do you have to pull yours? Does it have to be at least a v6?
Hahaha, he indicated the space for the TV was extra counter space for the kitchen.
BTW, the kitchen is nice sized for a trailer that small.
Yes Indeed this is exactly what I am looking for. Nice!
This thing looks awesome! Perfect to tow behind my SUV
Cannot be really town by any suv. We have a Jeep Wrangler 2022 4 doors which its max tow capacity is 3500lbs and we cannot town this Jayco trailer. At 3500 lbs you have to consider the weight of the hitch, the passengers and all the cargo you put on it. Results in no room at all for an SUV with 3500 lbs max tow…
I love it. Low price too!
Not low price for me
Wtf 13,000 is low??? I can buy 2 used huge 5th wheels for that much,ridiculous
@@oil1252 hi..$13,000 are low price in here, that isn't expensive ..thanks
@@futurepilot6749 that's too expensive for me
@@oil1252 okay.
It's so funny how he keeps calling it so small. Back in the day the trailers were even smaller than this, this would have been a luxury when I was growing up as a kid and it would have been considered big.
Very nice trailer. Thank you for showing it.
Thanks for the tour. 👍🏾
This would be nice for when I downsize
I wish we could get a trailer this size this weight and of course the price here in Australia.... For $13,000 you could get a Chinese made camper trailer here and that's about it!!!! Sleeps 4 air con and a shower /toilet?? What more could you want.... And it's a Jayco as well!!!! Good straight to the point video.....
I have had an older 17ft camper trailer and it was perfect for my family of 5. We had good times in that camper and would buy another one that size in a heartbeat. However our camper could sleep 6. Regular sofa that made into double bed, dinette table setting turned into a double bed and there was a hidden pullout loft over the sofa that slept 2. Had an oven too along with stove. Shower in bathroom. So all in all that older model did offer more than this new one does.
Perfect for covid. Visiting family can quarantine in it. Weekend or day excursions don’t need to deal with public facilities. I love it!
