I have owned my 21' Roadtrek for 17 years and am still in love with it. Compact interior but every inch put to use! Easy to drive and can go most anywhere.
I like the camper van because you don't have to worry about hitching it to a vehicle and the price is somewhat flexible depending on what you want on it. 😊
I'm in my late 50's and do not need to hear your personal opionions or experience, I want facts. I would encourage anyone to follow this site. Personally, Thank you for not wasting my time and providing the insight I needed for continued research on products I have interest in.
I really like the AZ-Max La.kunn looks like a good value, with everything you need for an RV that is self propelled. Size is great for storing away when not using it. It is an RV that most people could afford.
We recently purchased the A Liner Expedition and really like it so far. It fits in our garage and has all the necessities for the two of us and we can take it off grid and has hard side dormers to protect you from bear invasion out West.
I love the little Mazda based camper. It's got everything you need and it's no bigger than it has to be. Interior was an example of good use of available space. I thought the price was pretty good too for what you get.
I like No. 9 Just a little bit bigger than a normal teardrop and if Cassy ever came to Australia it would have just enough room for both of us to explore :)
Thank you. I have had two Eribas (they are more common in Europe). The original builders were aircraft constructors. This explains the aluminum frame and light weight/structural strength.
What about all the Nucamp t@b and t@g options? The T@b 320S has everything 2 people would want with the pleasure of a toilet/shower, and room to swing a cat. Or Safari Condo alto? The teardrop world has exploded in the last couple of years. I feel like you chose some pretty random examples. The Barefoot (UK and Europe only) is also a great one for people to check out. The finishings are spectacular!
I think I'm too addicted to watching camper videos. I don't own one. But, the feeling of freedom and living rent free is so overwhelmingly kick ass !!!
For all of us Tall guys like Basketball Players, can you do a show on Trailers and Motorhomes with the Highest Ceilings? I'm tired of having an outdoor shower because i'm too tall for the indoor one! (I'm 6' 6")
I saw a couple small campers that are exactly what I am looking for 🙂... would have to speak to someone to see if I could get it on inside arranged my way And have some extra items added.

Still the best! Volkswagen Westaflia camper; drive it to work, drop the kids off at practice, haul sheets of plywood, then go camping! Best damned design ever!
I liked #2 the Forest River, the bunk beds sold me. I really would like to see some campers that can be used in the winter for hunting trips or blizzard camping. Yup, some people actually do that, lol 😆. Thanks Minds She design. 🌴😎🌴FL
I enjoyed seeing all the options. I have an 87 Easy Up motorcycle camper...in excellent condition. They now sell for around $3400 but got mine used for $750! Pulls easy, very compact...less than 350 pounds, and is waterproof, basically a large tent on wheels. Pretty spartan, but I like that for camping, not being interested in taking it all with me! Ha ha. And can easily sleep 4 when needed.
The ideal D.I.Y. unit would use light weight steel studs, frame and slide onto a utility trailer for seasonal use. To minimize wind drag, the uit would have a roof upper walls that nest over top of the bottom unit. Windows and doors would be placed into the frame after raising the roof.. All camper amenities would be installed in the lower half of the package. Light weight steel studs with 6 inch depth provide sufficient space for cold and hot weather insulation.. Scissor action of an exterior support frame would raise the top.
I'm a Class B sprinter van lover all the way but I did like the Geo Pro simply because I do a lot of tent camping and I like to camp in bear/coyote/wolf country so having a wee bit more security than a tent would be nice. I drive a jeep so this one is a dream for that. I'm also getting up there in years and would like to have a bit more comfort. However, living in one for very long (more than 2 weeks) would be nuts. I'd like a 22 - 24 foot camper van for those situations.
I have a small car and we want to stay under 6,000 I go to lots of dog shows and field trials. I would like room for 3 crates maybe under a bed or have them as the seating bench and an a incinerator toilet no water needed. Almost (75%) everywhere has a shower to use. Thanks for this though I really like how you explained things and didn't take forever but was thorough
I just come across this as a suggested video...I like mini RV'S so I subscribed. Good video, I like the fact you include pricing estimates and show details of the units in a no nonsense way.
My favorites are Little Guy Mini Max and the Armadillo. Both are designed well. Since I am not interested in an indoor shower, I prefer the Armadillo. But I could easily see myself in the Little Guy. My hesitation comes from the fact that they do not mention the insulation on their website and I cannot tell if their campers can be used in frigid temperatures. Whereas the Armadillo advertises the ability to use the camper in very cold temps. In addition, the Armadillo has this extremely handy storage tray that goes under the camper. Every camper should have this feature. Dealing with where to put the hoses is always a challenge.
All these look very cute. I followed one of these on the freeway, and because of their lightweight, the trailer started to wobble sideways in the wind, it took the pulling vehicle and the trailer upside down into the ditch. No one survived.
Really enjoyed checking out all of the campers. I really liked the last one. I like the small campers but I want enough room not to feel smothered. I like the solar packages because I want to be off road. I dont really want to camp in your standard camp grounds.
As a truck driver, I have no problem living in a small space. However, it has been a dream of mine to get a GM PD4501 (Greyhound Scenicruiser), and convert that to my own special motorhome. That would be like a dream mansion to me.
conversion is where time and money comes into play... I bought a used diesel pusher and did minor renovations to make it my home.. I'm close to retirement, and I could live in this for the rest of my days and it was under 30k. 30+ years trucker 10 4
@@timothyfiedler344 The conversion wouldn't be any trouble for me. I've repaired a number of damaged conversion vans in the late '80s, and also worked on a few motorhomes. All interior work. Properly sanded and painted plywood looks just like drywall, so there's any new walls, and it doesn't easily crack like drywall does. Provisions for securing furniture are the hardest part as that leaves permanent scaring on the floor, but is both the safest way to go, and also required. It's not physically hard to do, but no one wants to hack up a perfectly good floor. I've got 26 years, mostly dry van, but more recently, grade A tanker. No baffles makes for an interesting ride with partial loads, but I got rythem, so it ain't bad. Flatbed, grain hopper, and refer are randomly mixed in, too.
Make one out of a small aluminium (punt) boat on a trailer. Make an arch roof (like those old school wagons) out of tinted 1.5 mm thick poly carbonate. Make end arch bulkhead shapes out of wood. Front bulkhead has door and rear bulkhead has a window that is also an escape hatch (no access through poly carbonate sides. Make a bench seat at the rear and a narrow bench top at the front and a table for your computer at the bench (like a dinette) that converts to full length bed. See my channel for my "Funky Wagon" near the top of my list. Cheers.

None of the current camper designs work very well they are either too small or too heavy. The beauer .is great just too expensive
thanks for the video...too bad all these trailer/campers costs money...there are pros and cons to every rig...

I have owned my 21' Roadtrek for 17 years and am still in love with it. Compact interior but every inch put to use! Easy to drive and can go most anywhere.
I like #8, the AZ Max. Someday when I ever get lucky and enough money I hope I find one for my Daughter.
Love mini campers with biggest bang for your buck and you don't need a heavy duty truck to move it
I like the camper van because you don't have to worry about hitching it to a vehicle and the price is somewhat flexible depending on what you want on it. 😊
Idk I am addicted to watch these
I liked #2 (the next to the last one) the best.
I'm in my late 50's and do not need to hear your personal opionions or experience, I want facts. I would encourage anyone to follow this site. Personally, Thank you for not wasting my time and providing the insight I needed for continued research on products I have interest in.

I love number three number two and number one. And if I was going to try to get one of them it would definitely probably be number one
I believe that the Little Guy Mini Max has most if not all the features needed in a small camper/trailer...smart layout.
mini camper are the way to go!
I love #2 and #1 because it has just enough room for a small family.
We recently purchased the A Liner Expedition and really like it so far. It fits in our garage and has all the necessities for the two of us and we can take it off grid and has hard side dormers to protect you from bear invasion out West.
They are all very nice but #6 is my favorite.🤩🥰🥰
All of those mini campers was very lovely.
Love small campers. They are a lot easier to deal with.
Unless you live in them and need a lot of specialty cooking equipment.
Love the last one. The brightness is wonderful making it look much bigger. Color is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
How do they get all that space in those tiny looking thing. Just stuff it all in and volá! Amazing
I love the little Mazda based camper. It's got everything you need and it's no bigger than it has to be. Interior was an example of good use of available space. I thought the price was pretty good too for what you get.
Home after the "Great Reset".
Winnebago Brave - 23’ - Little larger than those shown but an easy driver and not huge like buddies 34’ monster.
Reacher, you don’t look anything like I imagined hearing your voice all this time! It’s good to actually see your picture!
Reacher MED Oh, then I can go back to the picture I have of you in my mind and add a beard!
#8 & 3 because of the small size!!!
We have an R-Pod 189. Perfect couple camper. Dry bath. Queen bed front. Jack knife couch in the back entertainment area. Love it!
I like the small ones but id love one of the tents that tie to 3 trees and can get 3 adults in it.
Tiny trailers RULE!
My fav is #6
Soooo many cool campers you don't see on RV lots very often.
Yes they are!
nice campers guys
I like the one with the double door refrigerator and the star gazing window over the bed. Yup. I like it!!!!!
This guy knows what he's doing what's prices to it helps you make an educated decision you're not calling everybody trying to ask for a price
I Love #5 the Swift Escape. It's the best of them all in my opinion. ☺️👍🌲🌴🏔️🌎
I like No. 9 Just a little bit bigger than a normal teardrop and if Cassy ever came to Australia it would have just enough room for both of us to explore :)
🤣
Thank you. I have had two Eribas (they are more common in Europe). The original builders were aircraft constructors. This explains the aluminum frame and light weight/structural strength.
***{ I like when the bed stays a bed ( not transform every morning into a dinette ) anyway .. my favorite is "ERIBA" }***
These are cool. I like the bunk bed one best. The last one is great, but sure seems like lots of places to get ruined, over time, in the wet bath.
What about all the Nucamp t@b and t@g options? The T@b 320S has everything 2 people would want with the pleasure of a toilet/shower, and room to swing a cat. Or Safari Condo alto?
The teardrop world has exploded in the last couple of years. I feel like you chose some pretty random examples. The Barefoot (UK and Europe only) is also a great one for people to check out. The finishings are spectacular!
I think I'm too addicted to watching camper videos. I don't own one. But, the feeling of freedom and living rent free is so overwhelmingly kick ass !!!
So the Swift or the Touring are the most appealing.
I'm always game for the most quality for the best price
For all of us Tall guys like Basketball Players, can you do a show on Trailers and Motorhomes with the Highest Ceilings? I'm tired of having an outdoor shower because i'm too tall for the indoor one! (I'm 6' 6")
That's a good suggestion. I can do that. 👍
Mazda mini camper is my favorite. This camper has everything I need. And it's so sweet and cheap.
I saw a couple small campers that are exactly what I am looking for 🙂... would have to speak to someone to see if I could get it on inside arranged my way
And have some extra items added.

Like the Eriba with ots blue and white design and features. Congratulations to all of you. Job well done
We are first-time buyers of mini campers. Enjoyed the video as it gave us good information.
loving the camper with the bunk beds. takes up much less space. and if by yourself, that's extra overhead storage!
The coolest thing about these videos is that u can catch a glimpse of katzi at the end...what a stunning beauty...woow
I like 10 & 6,3, & 1.
Am disabled & don't drive, & Do want all, my comfort's.
While hunting that
Perfect new fishing, spot.
The last one was the coolest looking.
I liked #2 the Forest River, the bunk beds sold me. I really would like to see some campers that can be used in the winter for hunting trips or blizzard camping. Yup, some people actually do that, lol 😆. Thanks Minds She design. 🌴😎🌴FL
I would like to know which trailer could be pulled by my Subaru Forestor and what type of hitch.
Number 6,7,8 is beautiful.
I enjoyed seeing all the options. I have an 87 Easy Up motorcycle camper...in excellent condition. They now sell for around $3400 but got mine used for $750! Pulls easy, very compact...less than 350 pounds, and is waterproof, basically a large tent on wheels. Pretty spartan, but I like that for camping, not being interested in taking it all with me! Ha ha. And can easily sleep 4 when needed.
Next spring... will be great..
I love that Tail Feather! Having the ability to make the camper bigger or smaller and add the accessories as I need them is definitely something cool!
I may seem a little weird, but my perfect Motorhome setup would be The AZ-Max La.kunn coupled with the Geopro.
I was thinking the same thing either that one or the 2ed motor home..
I would live in one if there were good safe places to park them
Anywhere 100 miles away from other humans I would consider that a safe place to park anything. Not counting the ocean..
The ideal D.I.Y. unit would use light weight steel studs, frame and slide onto a utility trailer for seasonal use. To minimize wind drag, the
uit would have a roof upper walls that nest over top of the bottom unit. Windows and doors would be placed into the frame after raising the roof..

Where can I buy one? I don’t see available in U.S?
Cool
Magnificent x10👍💜
5 is really good size and has everything.
Very good video. Sure will help lots of people on a budget. Thanks
I love the Tail Feather #7. Who's making them? Where can it be ordered? Ideal for my situation particularly the storage size.
My favorite one is "Eriba."

Very handy having extra space for Aunt Edna, take her all the way to Wally World! 🤣
Yes minis are great
"More than enough room for Aunt Edna," love it!
You caught that too!😵
Plenty of room in front storage for aunt Edna!
Holy cow man!!😁
Really enjoyed checking out all of the campers. I really liked the last one. I like the small campers but I want enough room not to feel smothered. I like the solar packages because I want to be off road. I dont really want to camp in your standard camp grounds.
I really like the Little Guy max versus the mini. I am looking for all weather camping
adventures. Thank you!
Great video and succinct narrative. I think number 9 for me the geopro fantastic value..!
Many thanks!
Mini are my fav. Would like to find something to add a 12-16 boat so as to go to salmon rivers.
And number 1,2 it's perfect

Put a link in your comment!
really enjoyed the camping gear. Need to get lot of the gear for camping.
Loved them all. If I've learned anything in our 29ft trailer is... "less is best"
Do a show on Micro Campers. Like the old pod campers with the kitchen outside the living area.
Have like 1000 lbs be the upper limit on weight.
i have an XLR thunderbolt 45 feet long got it because of big family trips to the beach but tiny campers are awsome too
No doubt, for price, size, reliability.... it is the MAZDA! All the way.
Not EVEN close Chris. No bathroom, a pathetic attempt at a "kitchen" all for a high price.
the armadillo looks alot like my scamp. I got a custom 5th wheel and it'll fit anywhere just under 20 feet.
Mini campers are the go.
Have you been able to check out the 8', 10',12',14'... custom campers made by Taylor Coach?
Love all the campers .... Thank you for sharing them .......
the last one was my fav , very nostalgic
I love the last one also, would be so cool to buy for my brother that has a 21 window Voltswagon safari bus perfect match ✌️
Yea good video and I like the small rv and campers but wow the prices
I know right!!!!
Love my Casita - has it all!
short and sweet but a lot of good information
I liked number 4
Looks like a portable outhouse!
Hello John Creed, thank you for watching!
