Let us know in the comments below how you would rate all 3 of these small travel trailers!
Hi Everyone,
We hope you enjoyed our video! Which small camper under 15' did you like best? Do you prefer a travel trailer, motorhome or 5th wheel? Please say hello by leaving a comment below and sharing your opinion about these RV floor plans.
Nope, nope. I'm sitting in my van wondering how I'd like it if I had to go outside every time I wanted to access the sink or fridge after dark. I want my kitchen inside! Interesting to see but I wouldn't want one!
Consider camping in any national Park?? Yeah bubu smelling all your cooking and has a nice light to see everything too. The owner liable to be the appetizer 😂. Also why no bathroom not even a portable potty?? Bob of the design team was asked make these teardrops different his response was let's add more storage 😅
That is a great point. The weather and the time of day plays a huge factor with only an outside kitchen. I'm with you Britt! Thanks
@SuperCitizen especially if you are off-road camping, which these are capable of 🤣. It's difficult to add a bathroom to a camper this size but I would definitely bring my own porta potty.
Love these! It's called CAMPING!!
So glad you like the TT in this video. They are great for camping just have to use the bathhouse or bring a porta potty. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate you support!
Is this the first time you gave a description without preferencing with " now when you first walk into this travel trailer..."?!?
🤣 Great catch! I love this! Thanks for making us laugh tonight!
I would like to see more of less than 15ft TT, but maybe some that you can stand in , very minimal weight with the necessary items. preferred 12v with electric and no propane ... thank you for posting ! 😊
There aren't too many campers under 15' that you can stand in. You could check out the 13' Scamp TT. Most campers this size will be a teardrop style or difficult to stand in. We have a video with some that might help. th-cam.com/video/YyaoD3jITbY/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Forest R-Pod is what I like 😊
That one was my favorite too. Love that fireplace! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate you support!
I love all of these campers
So glad you love these. They are some awesome floor plans under 15'!
I so enjoy your videos!!
Thank you so much! We truly appreciate your support!💚💛
Susan sighting of the week, @12:04 great video as always!
🤣 Thanks Joseph. You know when I edit a video and see my reflection it reminds me of you!...not my reflection of course!🤣
@@RVBlogger Dear gracious... I would hope not, I'm 6'5" 250 pounds... You can't be an inch over 6'4"!!!
@@josephfoster1445 I would be overjoyed if I was 5'4"! 🤣
Love how u always make sure to acknowledge Susan
Thank you for noticing! He does try to include me 😍. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Another great video.
Thank you so much! We truly appreciate your support!💚💛
I love love how the kitchen is outside less smells in a camper is a win win for me . This campers are superb 👌 I dislike have a kitchen in a camper so these campers are great for those who want too cook outside 😊
It is definitely nice to be able to cook outside and not have those smells and mess in you camper. We love that feature in these travel trailers. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Hi Mike and Susan! I like the last 2 Forest Rivers. I’m not the one was small. I’m not fan of these but if I was get one I would get one of the Forest Rivers. Thank you Mike and Susan. I hope you have a great weekend and see you in a few days.
Hi Sherri! The Geo Pro and R-Pod are great floor plans for someone needing a small lightweight camper. I do appreciate their size versus a teardrop style like the Little Buggy. I would have to get a Clam or outside shelter to increase livability. But I'm with you...a bit too small and no bathroom.😬. Have a great rest of your week!
Mikes reaction at 1:23 had me laughing, haha
He wasn't expecting that door to come open! 🤣 Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I do like the idea but, these campers are confusing in a sense. They’re calling them off-road but they pretty much have to be plugged in to shore power (a/c, electric fireplace, microwave, etc.) or you’re dragging a generator everywhere you go.
Very true. I think they are able to put them in that category primarily due to the tires and suspension. Very few "mainstream" manufacturers build these campers to be sustainable. Though you might have upgrade options. Many are pre-wired with solar and might even include a 100w or 200w panel but you're still not running your appliances without an inverter. I guess that's why they can get away with off-road and not off-grid..in our opinion. Thanks Salty Dog69!
Thanks Susan and Mike, another great video. While I wouldn't be interested in having one of these, the Geopro was the most interesting, especially with the convection microwave. Lots of elbow room for the toilets and head height in the showers too. They all should include a popup shower and a 5 gallon bucket toilet. It wouldn't break their bank. Thanks again, stay safe out there.
A cassette porta potty is a great feature. We have a "tent" designed for outside showering, that would be great to include as well. Thanks Tuvia! 💛💚
Some rustic campgrounds do not allow popup privacy shelters with toilets. Many campers go to campgrounds and just plan to use the bathhouse the campground provides. Adding small stuff people do not want or need is wasteful too. If a camper wants those items they are easy to purchase separately and won't break your bank either. 😉
@@amydelpiere9315 True, campgrounds won't allow external bathroom features. These additional features would benefit you if you were boondocking or dry camping.
2 or 3!
Forest River does a great job with their floor plans. I loved that the R-Pod had a fireplace! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate you support!
Awesome drop guys, well done. This was a fun clip
Thank you petepaul615! Glad you enjoyed these campers. They are pretty cool floor plans. Thank you!
What about using some folding camp chairs (or folding love seat) in the R-Pod as seating? Is there enough room when mattresses folded?
I'm not sure if the inside is tall enough for sitting in a camp chair. The mattresses were pretty comfortable to sit on. Thank you so much! We truly appreciate your support!
Like seeing these small trailers but would love to see lightweight TT with a bathroom. My SUV can tow 3500 lbs but I know I cant max that out but I need indoor bath and kitchen. Does anything like this exist?
It is a little hard to come by a TT that light with a bathroom, but some do exist. The Aliner in this video has a GVWR of 2,400lbs and it has a wet bath. th-cam.com/video/UA0D4q86_rU/w-d-xo.html We also have a blog article that might help find other TT that have what you are looking for. rvblogger.com/blog/travel-trailer-under-3500-lbs/ We'll keep looking though. Thanks Rosemary!
It would be nice if reviewers could highlight what features on a trailer can work off-grid and what features require the trailer to be connected to shore power. I was considering a Hike 100 as it is marketed as an "Off Grid" unit. Yes it has a solar panel but that essentially charges the battery for the lights. No inverter and the fridge is 110, the cooker and air conditioner all require 110. i enjoy your channel.
I understand your interest and frustration when it comes to solar provided by a manufacturer. If we reviewed one RV per video we could spend much more time providing details like solar. The problem is they all claim to be off-grid or solar pre-wired but very few are truly capable. At best they come with a 100 or 200 watt panel, maybe a lithium battery and no inverter which means your outlets aren't powered by solar and you are not running a microwave, fridge or AC unit. Hopefully in the future we can include more of these details. Thank you for suggesting. And thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!💚💛
Overall I liked the Geo Pro best, but I would prefer the R Pod pull-out stove rather than the griddle on the side. The pull-out stove lets you stay under cover when the weather is not ideal. It also does not need to be taken down and stored inside. If you got yourself a big battery bank or a nice quiet generator you could boondock with all the creature comforts.
That is a really great point about the stove! Thank you for adding that information. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Brand new just out, could you Please show something on the Viking rok 12000? Just by accident I found it on Facebook at a little known dealership just south of Denver Colorado!
We actually did a tour of the Coachmen ROK 12000 which is the Coachmen version of the Forest River Viking ROK12000. We have released the video yet...hopefully soon. It is a cool floor plan! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Great videos you guys! I have a challenge for you, I saw "UNDER 15' " and was excited but didn't care for any of the trailers. But it's ok. I'm on the look out for travel trailers under 16' with a bathroom and kitchen inside; like a nobo 16.1 or geo pro 15tb. On your adventures could you guys find something in those realms?
We love looking for smaller campers so challenge accepted! 🤣 We actually did do a tour of the Geo Pro 15tb in this video th-cam.com/video/9oENXLuMuec/w-d-xo.html But we will continue searching for the small ones. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I think of the three the "Modern Buggy Little Buggy 10RK" is the best. Because it is what it is a tear drop. The other two seem to be a tear drop that is trying add some of options and space of a traditional trailer.
You are right about that. The Geo Pro and R-Pod design is more like small TT. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
@@RVBlogger You're welcome. Go O's. 🙂
@@sfuoncall Yes! 🧡 Go O's!
My brother and his wife have one of these, awesome, small, and perfect to hook up to their jeep. Me… I want to be able to stand up, a shower, and an inside kitchen. 😎
I'm with you Erin! I love that these exist for people that need a small lightweight camper or "minimalists" that want to go off grid in a comfortable camper.
Do y'all work for Forest River/ Thor? It seems you only review Thor /subsidiaries products. Thx.
We don't work for any RV manufacturer. We visit many RV dealerships and RV shows on the east coast for our content. Just so happens there are a lot of Forest River floor plans on the market. We also have videos with Keystone, Grand Design and Winnebago to name a few. Certainly can't help that Thor owns many RV brands. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!💚💛
1 & 3
Liking the Little Buggy and the R-pod, great choices! Love that fireplace in the R-pod. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate you support!
I always say it but for $25,000... you can get a full on travel trailer with a murphy bed, indoor kitchen and bathroom. I'd want to pay $12K tops for these boxes on wheels!
Completely agree! You can get a lot more comfort features for these prices.Thanks Pesto!
It’s crazy how much people charge theses thing are only worth around 8K but they mark the up so much
@@TheAmerican101 Agreed... but if folks just keep buying them - then the prices will stay super inflated. Sad. Every day, I drive past about 5 of these just sitting/ rusting in folks driveways... get used maybe 2x a year it seems.
I would like to see a video where the weight capacities are discussed just so that I can understand. I would like to purchase a trailer that I can safely pull with a Subaru Forrester, or a Subaru Forester wilderness. I would like to purchase a camper that comfortably fit three people. I am still searching though. By the way, I really do enjoy your videos. Thank you very much.
We have a blog article that discusses and explains all the different RV weights that might help you. You would first need to know what the tow capacity of your vehicle is. That means the maximum amount your Subaru can safely tow. I'll share the link to the article, but let me know what your tow capacity is. Let's see if we can help you find something. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support! rvblogger.com/blog/rv-weight-travel-trailers-motorhomes-5th-wheels/
I second this comment. I’d like a video on trailers that you can tow with an Outback. Ours can only tow 2700lb which I know is small so it would be nice to see that short list.
I'll pass on all of them.
They are definitely designed for specific types of campers. We wouldn't be comfortable either. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!💚💛
Why 15 feet or under? It seems what many folks would be looking for is a lightweight camper that would have amenities on the inside.
We categorize our RV video tours based on RV features, length or weight and include at least 3 different RV floor plans to view in each video. Some people are looking for an RV that is a certain length or weight due to the vehicle that is towing it and we try to provide that content so they can see what is inside like the amenities. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!💚💛
Like the Xplorer?
@@jyc215 Riverside RV Xplorer?
Thanks y'all but those are just too small for me. Need something I could at least stand up in. Sorry 🙁
Completely understandable. This size camper is not for everyone...(including us😂). Thanks Darryl!
They’re cute but not for me
Very fair. I feel the same. Maybe for someone younger that doesn't mind crawling into their camper. Plus I gotta have a bathroom. Thanks Kim
@@RVBlogger no bathroom gets me every time! lol
Way too small
They are definitely small and not for everyone. Plus I would have to have a bathroom.. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate you support!
