I so love the fact that they kept an oven- a big oven. I like this trailer. Well thought out and pretty darn practical.
Thank you for your comments!
That gap at the top of the cabinets will easily get filled with decor by my wife. I setup camp, she decorates the camper and campsite.
Truth!
I like this.a few improvements though like bigger propane tanks.a trash can hide a way( have dogs)..get rid of broom cabinet and make bathroom a lil bigger ..love the seating and tv mount.we are off roaders.lovin the woods..better suspension better at boon docking in natures finest.
I really like this design and layout. As a person looking at getting a couples camper in the future, this one is almost perfect for what I think I would want. The positives for me are the couch with tables instead of a dinette, true queen bed, the maxair fans, the large pass-through storage, the blind spot radar, upgraded suspension and TPMS. I wish they would include anti-lock brakes, a permanently mounted ladder rated to at least 300 lbs. In the open-faced pantry, remove the shelves and include a trash can and hangers for brooms / mops. The major change I would make and people may disagree with me here is to remove the outside kitchen and make the entertainment center front a door that opens completely and swing towards the bed for pantry storage behind it. This allows for nice viewing from the bed while creating pantry storage. Then the bath could be enlarged and the pantry next to the slide could be moved into the bath as a linen closet. Those are my opinions. As always, your mileage and opinion may differ. :)
Interestingly a lot of folks agreed with removing the camp kitchen on the 201 overland version of this layout so I don't think you're really off track or sharing a hot take there
#NerdHerd you're absolutely right Josh! I do like this couch.
lol I'm not joking when I say I always think of you when i see them now
A couple things I really like about Embers is, they put lighting behind the beside closets and horizontally about the overhead shelf.
The offset color in all the door center panels really gives the interior character and depth. Ember has one of the most visually appealing interiors of all the manufactures in my opinion.
Their outside decal schemes and colors finish all their units off extremely well, never over done, never too aggressive, always just enough bling to make it look nice. I'm a fan! (not to be confused with a little tea pot).
Thank you for your kind words! We’re trying to be widely appealing, but subtle and intentionally designed. 🔥
Up until around 2020 no one made a floorplan like this with theater seating in a “24’ trailer”, but now everyone seems to make one, including the very similar 5,000 lb MiniLite 2205S👍👍👍
We love our Mini lite!!
@@miketaylor821 So do we💥We fortunately ordered our 2021 2205S in early 2020 before Covid and got a great deal for under $25,000. We picked it up in August of 2020 and it has been the most trouble free RV that we have ever owned in our 4 decades of camping👍
@@stevez340 we have had no problems also. It’s a great trailer for the two of us. 🏕️🌲🌵👍👍
It's funny - for a long LONG time "only sofas for seating" would NEVER have been successful in the industry. Average buyers almost always wanted a "secondary sleeper for guests"
And then it just suddenly changed REALLY hard
@@JoshtheRVNerd I always parenthesize “option” so people have as many choices as possible to fit their needs👍I guess I’m just getting more selfish in my old age and other than grandkids I prefer day visits😂
the oven has me re-thinking what RV I want now. Love an oven!
Glad to bring something helpful for you to see! What were you considering before?
Your definition of fat free was a revelation. It was practically a public service announcement. Can’t wait to explain it to my wife.
follow me for more tips lol
Thanks Nerd!! I really like this model. I would love ABS on it. Either water heater type is fine to me. I am not a fan of the King Bed idea in the smaller towables. Thank you for including the slide system is an exact system. I am betting they didn't run up the pantry cupboards to the ceiling (creating the dust catcher) due to flexing while going down the road in the floor and ceiling. Those stick into the center farther than outside only cupboards.
Unsure on the cabinets but that's an interesting thought
Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!!!!! Perfect!!!! It appears Ember gets it. Love this one.👍
Thank you!
There is a lot to love about this RV. Especially being a solo camper. I tend to favor the "0-100" units as when I finally get out there, I may not know when and where I'm going to be.
That would definitely qualify!
THe lady behind you's reaction "It literally shoots radar out of its butt, and in case you're wondering if I'm joking... I'm not!" She looks at you, sees the camera and gets away fast! LOL ANOTHER GREAT lil' Ember! IMO the main thing I like about the Ember brand itself is how robust they're built. The quality and attention to detail seems VERY high-spec.
Thank you for your kind words! We do build differently than the typical conventional RV and take great care in material selection and intentional design.
@@EmberRecreationalVehicles well-deserved/earned, folks! I've been watching Your company since Haylett's.... and I've seen nothing but fine craftsmanship, innovative ideas and kind thought into such an investment for consumers at every turn. Blessings!
hahahaha - that's krysta! She's the GM of my home location and she's great
@@JoshtheRVNerd Everyone seems great around the RV Nerd, HaylettRV (R.I.P.) and Ember and Bish's RV and well yeah :) Cheers!
I lived in Michigan most of my life and Quality Dairy donuts was the JAM!!! I’m drooling already! -Jillian
They were fantastic :)
The construction features are impressive. One piece PVC roof with lifetime warranty, Evermore™ Laminated Azdel Onboard® Composite Floor, Laminated Azdel Onboard® Composite Side, Rear, Front and Slide Room End Walls (inner and outer substrates), etc. This seems to be a quality upgrade from the similar Rockwood Mini-Lite 2205S.
Thank you for noticing the differences!
I think Ember naturally draw interest from Rockwood Mini Lite owners.....
I personally experience this :)
I saw the Bish's RV Nerd sign on the top of the trailer,. My concern is less about the price and more that the sign might not be stable in transit......
The more I learn about Ember, the more impressed I become. There's a lot of there there.....and that's a lot of "theres"!
*rereads that last sentence and needs to sit down for a moment *
Honestly, Ember might make the most capable trailer out there.
Can't wait to see the new Ember Touring 28MLS when it comes out!
We appreciate your comment there!
@@EmberRecreationalVehicles I saw what you did there! 😋
hahaha
Josh I like Suburban gas & electric. When I’m at a campground I get free hot water and save my propane. It should be that was on a Touring Edition. Also they had room for a fireplace under that TV
Agree on the hot water heater. Touring series will likely be more park camping. Electric hot water will be less expensive. But, I would add that it should be a 10 or 12 gallon gas/electric, not the 6 gal.
I think if there was a partition wall between the bedroom and kitchen you could put the Tv on a swivel and have storage in the unit, where the TV is now could be a kitchen counter extension. A bigger cupboard/closet by the door, everyone wears shoes and likes to hang up sweaters and coats. maybe move the fridge over to where the pantry is and the back wall could be storage!!
I love this. Just need the truck to haul it. ❤❤😂😂
They make those!
lol that helps
Like when I forget my keys when leaving work
The one doesn't do a lot of good without the other!
A gorgeous rig!
Thank you!
Nice living room and kitchen. Like the sofa. That’s cool a roof sky light. Love the huge bed. Love the kitchen with all of the cabinets and coter tops. Nice over head cabinets. Bathroom is a little to small. It’s ok. Bed room strong is great. Love the slam latch’s and the leds lights. Love it thxs josh!
Thank you for your comment!
@@EmberRecreationalVehicles no problem love you rv!
This feels a little Jayco, Superior storage and great functionality. Love the adjustable hitch and torsion suspension! I am a huge an of tankless water heater. Thanks Josh, amazing coverage as usual.
Well the guy that designs these used to design eagles
So you’re seeing a common influence
This is super duper close to the perfect camper for us. This is on par with the Imagine 17MKE. I've never slept on one, but I think I'd prefer a Murphy bed, just because I'd like to be able to put the bed away for more space.
Also we went to our first camper show yesterday at CH Waltz Outdoor and RV. That's all because you got us interested in campers.
How was the experience seeing them all in person?
for those of us who don't like outdoor kitchens, a cabinet door on the inside would help when we remove the od kitchen. seems to me like I've seen a layout with a cabinet with doors both inside and out for access.
Thanks for the feedback. Our Overland Series 201FBQ features an indoor/outdoor cabinet like that - it’s certainly something that could be done!
As ember has indicated it's not impossible...
Another great video! Thanks Josh.
My pleasure!
A great suspension and so much safety features for on the road - I’m “Shocked” it didn’t have the ABS system. But still a Quality RV Thank You Josh- information that’s so important
Haven’t you not heard about the quality issues at ember
@@TheRangerman00 No - tell me more
ABS would make sense for a "touring" model
Regarding rangerman's point - they had some hiccups with their 2022 launch models
The story nobody wants to talk about is how they've improved since.
@JoshtheRVNerd I'll HAPPILY talk about it! These guys are doing a great job and I wouldn't hesitate buying one of their rigs!
"Raspberry, there's only one man that would dare give me the raspberry.....LONESTAR!!!"
That’s hilarious! Love that movie!!
wow NICE call back!
I REALLY like this travel trailer! I wish Ember would redesign the propane/battery box. Because there is propane, it can't have locks. I would install lithium batteries and I definitely would want those puppies locked up. Even if there was a slot on the top and bottom front of the battery area and a flat steel rod that slid down where you could padlock the top and bottom would work.
I've seen a LOT of people move the battery lines into the front pass-thru when they go lithium
Love this one. Quality is very visible. 😍
Thank you for your comment! We agree that quality needs to be visible - and the quality process needs to be ongoing and focused on continuous improvement. As a newer company, we’re trying to do better in this space all the time!
They had a few bumps in the road at launch in 2022 but have since improved consistently and seem to be doing quite well
that's actually ember
I really like the looks and quality of this rv. I think I would try to add a roller shade to the open pantry to try to hide things. I would like the ABS depending on the cost. Thanks for a thorough review.
ABS on a traveler like this makes so much sense
Nice little rig !!
TY!
I'd like to not only see Ember include anti-lock brakes, but even more so, I'd like them to offer electronic anti-sway control...at least as an option from the factory...especially on their Overland Series where you may opt for an articulating hitch with no anti-sway hitch setup.
That would be incredible!
RV Nerd: "I don't like the bathroom sink, so I'm gonna close the slide just because its frowned upon' lol! I did appreciate the design of the little soap pocket area on each side of the faucet and how its sloped inward with a drain spout, noice!
Uncle Gary's plate, I almost choked on my cracker!
Oh lord what did I say bout uncle Gary this time?
@@JoshtheRVNerd You quit asking him questions after he got the plate in his head lol!!!
The gap at the top of the cabinet? Cat hangout. No good litterbox spot, but still.
I would probably use the bottom of that corner cupboard in the bedroom. They make corner litter boxes. Just take the cupboard door off and do whatever you want, if you want, for a door or curtain.
Hey Josh, great video as always. After looking at the Ember website, the camp kitchen is a $700 option. Just FYI.
I think that's since updated - I actually recorded this a bit ago
We purchased a 2023 200FB from Bish’s during the January 2023 MARVAC show in Novi, MI. We were told that it’s 1/2 ton towable by both Ember and Bish’s. While this not untrue I think it would be very difficult to pull this trailer in any type of mountainous terrain with our RAM 1500.
Something I try to stress when I have an opportunity to meet clients personally is the idea where you take the RV is another factor in its "towability" that's often overlooked.
What is half-ton towable in flat land mid and southern michigan is not necessarily the same in an iowa wind corridor or thru steep elevations
LOVE that couch!
Would prefer they get rid of the broom closet and opened up the bathroom a little more
should make the propane storage big enough to hold 30 gal tanks.
Also would love to see the beast mode suspension on this
Other than that it seems almost perfect!
Thank you for the feedback!
@@Erin-Thor we appreciate the feedback and will share with our product development team.
They have a version of this with that curt suspension you can see here that actually predates the "beast mode" name th-cam.com/video/MlAjoy0_WXo/w-d-xo.html
@@JoshtheRVNerd Very nice! Can I get the couch from this one and the oven? will just carry extra propane in my Truck :)
Great video Josh! Thanks
Always a pleasure!
Great call on the Cherry Glazed Donut 🍒 🍩 Uncle Josh - my favorite too!!!!! #RVNerdHerd
- Nate from Buffalo
It was delicious. I told my wife I had a salad lol :)
This trailer checks almost every box on my list! But I will be very honest, I will NEVER, EVER buy a trailer with a radius shower. Not gonna do it.
This is so close to being perfect it's maddening.
Thanks again for your great videos Uncle Josh!
What about... th-cam.com/video/IhCI19M9zPM/w-d-xo.html
Same general layout but rectangular shower
@@JoshtheRVNerd -- EXCELLENT RECOMMENDATION Uncle Josh! I really, really like that one! Time to check out some "Harry Glens!"
Man Josh, I really like this feller, like u say that is 10lbs of sugar in a 5lb sak,lol Thanks again for this one!!
You bet
Yes to ABS for touring. You promote those windows strongly, and they're nice, but without bug screens, they're useless, especially for us southerners. The day shades will keep out bugs, but also airflow! Ember's gearbox was what i had in mind for Brinkley's TTs. Keep those lithiums locked up!
Every window includes built in shades AND screens for great airflow and to prevent bugs from coming in!
@@EmberRecreationalVehicles Awesome! I didn't know that. Thank you for the update!
Ember beat me to the bug screens response!
A Touring Edition should have ABS brakes standard
I think that's actually a reasonable point
Well thought out use of space.. not much to critique here !!!
Nice Ty!
The floor is very nice.. vinyl plank ??
Not plank no. More like a roll out lino
I've always thought Ember did a good job with the cabinetry with this floorplan.
I'd ditch the griddle and mini fridge for interior cabinet doors.
I've always liked the cabinet by the door but wish they would add a hanging bar across the top. Since it is so close to the door I would use the upper portion as a coat closet and the lower for shoes, gloves and the like.
As usual the radius shower is a deal killer.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the input.
Lot of similar requests on that griddle/fridge
Looking forward to seeing the Brinkley 3250 G series’s. I don’t really understand how to leave a note..?
You did just fine :)
I would like to see ant- lock systems available on all trailers.
frankly I would as well
Nice price 👍
we try! TY
Good with queen beds
TY
Oh Josh; yet again you bring out another make and model to put on virtual list of 37 which is like infinity by now lol. I may never decide. Might be best for me to just dream and keep my money 💴💵💰 honey 🍯.
1) Love the herringbone design of the floor.
2) Overall it’s a little light color on the interior but I could live with it I think.
3) Question. In the middle above the couch on the trim where the splice cover is; couldn’t they just have made that trim piece out of one long piece of wood? I would’ve made for a better finished look IMHO.
4) I’d keep the queen bed in order to have the nightstand for the cpap.
5) The skylight is neat.
6) Not sure if I understood what you said about the R factor of the windows. Why doesn’t the RV industry just make an argon gas insulated window like we have for our homes? Or at least something equivalent?
7) Radar glow blind spot lights a wonderful touch.
8) Like the gear feature. It condenses everything and makes it less busy. 2 - 20’s I see. 2 - 30’s or 40’s would be nice too, although it would add more hitch weight.
9) Power Jack is nice that it remembers. With the right receiver that adjusts, that would help line up trailer to truck as well.
10) like that they auto tech to campers. Makes them safer. And Yes to ABS.
11) Storage doors didn’t look like that they were big enough to put a second spare tire 🛞 in. Too bad the rear bumper wasn’t beefy enough to hang it on the bumper as well. Guess that’s what the truck bed is for 😆
12) Nicely done as usual Josh. Thanks Nerd.
3.) It's not impossible but a lot of brands do what you're seeing there for fit/finish consistency
6.) Lack of supply and cost vectors if i had to guess
12: Thank you!
Great looking trailer, but they should of put the window by the bed on the camp side. I dont care to look at the neighbors and smell the sewer gas.
Wold also love to start seeing disk brakes o these trailers also. And last a hid a bed or jack knife sofa optoon is a must.
Thank you for your feedback!
I like the window idea but I think the awning arm might be "in the way" there. If it's possible, then I'd definitely like it too!
Ember, PLEASE improve your fit and finish and do your plumbing to code. I want this new brand to succeed, but there are a LOT of user videos with these problems. Prove to us you are listening to the customer.
Love the floor plan. Especially were the refrigerator is .❤❤
Easy to reach!
Perfect! 💜
Nice rv. 😊
Thank you!
#RVNerdHerd 🎉 😊 🎉
Well, it's a 1000 pounds over the tow rating on my Twitter to Tacoma. Besides that I do like that camper
It's great you know your safety measures though
Love the thearter/recliner nice size with those swivel stands no king bed dont need or want it. Don't care for radius showers, too small. I do like the shower miser. Id rather have a plastic larger sink rather than a stanless round tiny sink. Great transit road mode.👍love the smart jack. Nice mini camp table. Yup anti lock brakes is a very good idea, I like it. I prefer decated docking station that facesxout not into the cargo space. And i like on demand water heaters. Thanks Josh for this tour. 😅
Looks like our full length vids are back in your feed! :)
The only change I’d make is into my driveway.
That could be arranged!
I mean.. I know a guy LOL :)
lots of good points on this, but for the same size the 2511s from Rockwood still takes the cake at this size camper IMH.
Yeah I'm surprised it's only 7" longer than the Mini Lites..
Oh man is that propane box nice. Only wish it were a little bigger to hold 2x 30lb tanks, and a little deeper to hild 2x monster lithium batteries.
Thanks for the feedback!
Great input. TY so much
Need a curtain to divide the bed from the rest of the space.
Someone else said the same. TY
Tankless all day, every day. Longer showers when hooked up 😊
TY
It's a fairly solid unit, especially for the size. The only weakness we see is the bathroom. Thanks uncle Josh! P.S. When would be a good time for us to visit and treat you to a fat free dinner?
now?
We'd need a little time to get there. We (in reality the other half) need to coordinate with you when this could actually happen and start putting things in place to make it reality.
Nice rig but really needs a camp-side window on bedroom wall. Even though the sky window above is nice, it doesn’t replace camp-side window coverage.
It really could be nice
How much weight would it save to NOT have the slide?
I don't have hard figures. Along with not having the slide you'd be able to remove extra wall structure and perhaps even swap to a smaller chassis size as a result
It can be a few hundred pounds initially up to likely a few hundred more
Very cool small option! #nerdherd 🇨🇦
TY! ♥
ABS!ABS!ABS!
How do you spell "ABS?"
...no really. How
I'm asking. I have no idea
@@JoshtheRVNerd I nearly typed IBS!
Too bad Ember’s dealer in Southwest Washington, (in Kelso, WA), RV Country won’t negotiate price on a 2023 version of the 20FBS they have in stock. I offered them the same $39,995 for the 2023 that your asking for the 2024. They won’t budge off their $44,995 price for a 2 year old RV. Even the tires have spent two years of their life just sitting on their lot.
Maybe that's why they still have theirs and we're often sold out of our ember models..
Perhaps drop our salt lake team a note and see what they could do to get one delivered right to your front door
@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks Josh. We ended up ordering a Cougar 22MLSWE that will be built on 4/15. The nice thing is that the Cougar's are built in Pendleton, OR and only a few hours from our home in SW Washington.
ABS and Auto Leveling!!!!!
This one might actually be too small for auto leveling to work
Usually rvs need to be about 30ft
@@JoshtheRVNerd ohhh see! Been watching about four years now and still learning new things!
Good video Josh
TY Chris! Good RV helps make good videos :)
This one almost had me completely. But that bathroom is a no.
Like all the little features that Ember offers, such as the gearbox, the blind spot alerts, little camp kitchen, accessory hitch, etc. Floorplan? Meh. To Josh's point, everyone does this. Hoping to see more creativity, and really hoping for more small rigs from Ember. #nerdherd
I think it's good for them to have a few "reliable hitters" in their lineup but I do like it when brands find their own way about things too
On demand would be better. It's nice that it has the shower miser but that doesn't help in the kitchen.
An on demand water heater IS available as an option. The best one, actually! The AquaGo from Truma can be custom ordered on the Ember Touring Edition 20FB!
good point on the kitchen water..
Thanks Nerd. Also maybe a curtain for the bed area.
I don't think they'd be difficult to DIY
If it had anything like bunks, then I'm sure they'd include a little more privacy
Normally, I would say too small. But since, they did not waste space on a dinette. This becomes a possibility.
It's funny - years ago this model would've been a dinette + a bed
Now so many rvs are sofa + bed first and foremost
Love your videos still would like to see awning out so I can see outdoor coverage and is it easy to handle
Our local folks could certainly get a quick look at the awning open for someone by request! I try to get that now and then but I also have to budget time allowances sometimes at some locations (or they're just too close together to open)
This checks off everything but my price range. Now if all the other makers would do similar if not better then we are talking face it dinette is really not useful. A breakfast/coffee has more use
would something like this work by chance? th-cam.com/video/kuPocGhjEUE/w-d-xo.html
Similar layout. Not ALL the same equipment but more accessible price point
@JoshtheRVNerd we don't like how the counter sticks out like that and makes passing thru more difficult when slide is closed. We even seen one in person when we did we spent maybe 2 mins inside before it left off our list of possibilities. Love the videos though
I really like this unit, floorplan & decor. 👍
But I'd prefer eliminating the outdoor fridge & cooktop so that inside that space could be more storage or even a fireplace.
(I like the Jayco Port system, just a holder for the cooktop/bbq with access to propane hookup, no sink or fridge needed. I'm basic like that. 😊)
✌🖖🇨🇦
TY Diane!
I can not believe after all these years that they can’t make the slides where you can enjoy them to use in closed position surly they could accomplish that .
These slide rooms CAN be used in the closed position!
...they can? That's news to me! great to hear
As a boon docker most of the time I wish you would explain exactly how much power a 12 volt refer uses, is it as much a a light bulb or more. And I’ve seen some people have a power bank you can charge up and use that to power your refer in stead of a generator when the clouds are covering your solar panels Ect, Ect.
Appreciate the constructive feedback. MFGs change fridges all the time so I'm afraid that something that may prove unreliable in a video.
In my experience it's something best handled with our local staff on a per-trailer basis to ensure you get correct info that is somewhat camp critical to your situation
Oh Ember. You have given us so many surprises and heightened my expectations. And then, there's this one. I appreciate the quality and attention to detail, and of course the skylight.
But there is a big X that takes it off my list. What happened to the windows?? No cross breeze? No way to comfortably see your campsite?
And the same layout, nothing innovative. The storage is really generous. Doesn't make up for the same old layout and only a little window over the sink. Obviously, not my cup of tea.
that awning arm by the bedside really limits what they could do there I think..
@@JoshtheRVNerd Then this one is not for me :(
After a couple cans of beans, my uncle Gary can shoot radar out of his butt too. He has an effective range of 6 feet.
hahaha
Build quality? One year warranty?
Just type in Ember build quality on TH-cam
Ember has a top notch quality team. They will rise above the rest, wait and see.
@doctorRv1976 until then, my $$$ will stay in my pockets.
@TheRangerman00 do you mean John Marucci you tube channel when he bought an ember.
Candid answer: They had some black eyes on their record in 2022 at launch
Tracking service stats since then they've steadily improved
Currently ember overland and touring models are yielding well above average service records. Not perfect of course but I'm not seeing scary stats from them
E-series is new so I lack data on those
I would like you to include what the counter tops are made of in your reviews.
Appreciate the suggestion! I do tend to mention solid surface. Everything else is pretty much the same
This one is just sooo nice! 👍 I love the closets spaces!!! Is just enough for couple.
I think the only competition will be from “RockStaff” version of this floor plan.
That Rockstaff model really is dialed in well. I like how they did the storage around this one's bed and the extra headroom inside though
1. Change/Update the price!
😂 always lower the price…
2. Netting on the open face pantry.
3. Interior color pallet grays, white and blacks. Stainless steel appliances.
4. Put in a towel shelf in bathroom.
5. Plastic sink for $45K!? 😂
6. Ember needs to update their exterior graphics. Looks boring and dated.
7. Anti-Lock brakes a must!
Best feature: Sky window
Why do dealers feel compelled to advertise their business on someone else’s (future) property for free? Is the Bishs sticker easily removed 😅
Real talk: I've always wondered the same
I’d keep it on for a flat fee or honest service department eta 😅
Queen bed is fine for me. The pantry cabinets should go all the way to the ceiling vs having a dust collector above. Same with the cabinets in the bedroom. But other than that this is a great looking option for us. I will need to get a new truck. The Toyota Tundra is too light on payload for this once you put passengers and gear in the truck. 😢
These do tend to be chunky on hitch weight
Take 12K off the price and I'm in.
That’s a lot of changes to the unit to get to that price point… no Azdel composite walls or floor, no Goodyear tires, no LCA or TPMS safety features, no European windows, etc.
In RVs, you really can say you get what you pay for!
@EmberRecreationalVehicles No, you never get what you pay for...that's the problem. I feel like RV design is so focused on just checking ✅️ boxes that they have completely lost track of what the end user really needs.
Man if you started a company that could build these for that price, then please call me. I will make sure we are your first dealer and I'll broadcast you everwhere
cable slide walk away
What would you prefer?
@@JoshtheRVNerd rack and pinion
Bigger bed. No one uses the hanging storage anyways. It's vacation for crying out loud
I don't tend to disagree but man I get mixed feedback on that one
More holes in the roof more places that could leak, I do not like the vent window over the bed. It looks like it is made of some kind of plastic. Depending on how long someone plans to own one it will probably crack or break. I am not sure if the entry door is glass, not a fan of glass doors. I like the drop frame for more storage! Light interior color make it feel bigger.
One may look thru the used market for things like older lance truck campers that have been using the same windows for quite some time
Really like this one. Two problems: no room for Raff’s cage, I never leave home without Him and I don’t like that window above the bed. Just my .02.
This is only for small couples??? I crack myself up... born to be wild 😂
lol
I watch a lot of your videos and I can’t believe how popular the sofa-instead-of-dinette is. The idea of sitting on a sofa to eat meals like that just seems so unpleasant.
That’s why there’s options! A large U-dinette is available in this space instead of the theater sofa.
For years everything was "dinette first - a sofa after that if there's room"
But around 2016 to 2018 that really started changing. True "Couples only" models really started catching on like this with a sofa first
But like ember mentions they do offer seating swaptions to outfit this one as desired
This would be the perfect trailer for me if it did not have a slide. No slide with a two person dinette and more pantry and it would be perfect. If the TV were to be on it would be background noise in the day. It would mostly only be a bedtime thing. #nerdherd
I'm seeing more and more requests for no slides. TY for sharing
Perfect except for the bathroom 👎🏻
How would you like to see the bathroom designed instead?
@@EmberRecreationalVehicles Rectangular shower, Not a plastic sink! Stainless fixtures
They're not that pretty on the outside but man do they do everything right. Ember also gets even better every time a new one comes out. Some things are subjective and thats good. Other things are objective and when it comes to build, Ember is perfect. And nothing beats not having to worry about things or having to spend a lot of time setting up, packing or unpacking.
Ember = Total Package.
Biggest critique is the bathroom. Nix the shower doors and skylight. Added cost and something to go wrong. Id prefer a couch that is the same length that folds into a good sized bed as well. Obviously a privacy curtain. Otherwise love it 💯
No hippy Burning Man trips for Ember. They're a keeper 🍻
I could be OK with no skylight given the extra tall ceilign
I cannot see that shelving be anything but a place for a broom etc. I would take out the shelves. Really disappointed no brakes on it.
Sorry - no brakes? I'm curious how you came to that understanding.
These have standard brakes as do all trailers over 2,500lbs empty weight
That's a federal requirement
