    You guys did a great job showing the coach and describing all the features. My wife and I ordered a 2021 Mini Lite 2104S which we'll pick up in October. I have been searching for info about some of the features, like the outdoor grill/griddle, battery disconnect switch, etc... that no one has mentioned. Thanks for the work you put into this video!

Downsizing from a 43 foot Dutch Star Diesel Pusher. I’m a widow doing this by myself so I wish I had done the little bit smaller Rockwood and I love the Murphey Bed. Thank you for your help.

    @tangoindiamike9189 3 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    For the empty nesters, I recommend the 25fks. It's about the same length and weight, but has a separate bedroom with sliding door, and the kitchen has much more counter space. Rockwood and Flagstaff are the same campers with different names. They market them under different names so that dealers near each other appear to have different brands, but both of these are made by Forest River. We have the Flagstaff 25fks. Look up the floor plan online. We didn't need the bunks, so it suits us well. It"s like having an apartment that is just 25' 11". I also tow with a Dodge Ram 1500. Be sure to get the weight distribution hitch with sway control, for safety...and a brake controller.

      @tangoindiamike9189 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@1antiquejunkieest89cateyed9 You may like the bunks if you have pets. The lower bunk could be "their space", and the upper bunk could be extra storage. We just didn't care for the Murphy bed. It's right by the door, and it has to be put up and down daily, and we didn't need the bunks. Sometimes, It's nice to just crawl into bed, without rearranging anything. With the 25fks, the bed is in the back, with It's own room and a sliding door to close off that space. It has more of a small apartment feel. Also, the 25fks has a much nicer kitchen with more counter space. You'll really like that.

      @scottnorris2411 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for that information. I am planning on buying a travel trailer with as much living space and length as possible but my main concern is figuring out the weight. My 2008 Nissan Titan Towing capacity: 6,500 to 7,400 lbs Payload: 1,382 to 2,063 lbs. 317 Horse Power. From what I'm hearing the weight of the travel trailer for my truck should be about 5500 lbs dry weight. That leaves me about 500 lbs in full water tanks + the gear and food I pack about 500 lbs = 1000 lbs for a total weight of 6500 lbs. Is that how it works?

    • @tangoindiamike9189
      @tangoindiamike9189 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@scottnorris2411 There are several numbers that you need to be aware of. First, you need to clarify your exact tow capacity for your specific truck. I noticed you listed a range instead of a specific weight. I tow with a Dodge Ram 1500. Although there is a range of tow capacities for Dodge Ram 1500s, there is an exact tow limit for my specific truck. I looked up the chart and it is divided into different segments, such as 2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive, engine size, transmission, gear ratio, bed length, etc. Once you find the chart for 2008 Nissans, you'll need to study the chart to pinpoint your exact truck. Continued in next paragraph.
      You will need to know things like your vehicle dry weight, payload, hitch weight capacity, gross vehicle weight restriction (GVWR), gross axle weight restrictriction (GAWR), and Combined gross vehicle weight restriction (CGVWR). Continued below:
      Your dry weight is what your vehicle weighs without fluids. Your payload is the total of weight you can add to this. It includes fuel, fluids, driver, passengers, and gear or load. Continued:
      Your gross vehicle weight restriction (GVWR) is your dry weight plus your payload. So whenever the vehicle is full of fuel and fluids, plus people, gear, and any load, it should not exceed this number. This can be checked at a CAT Scale when fully loaded. Continued:
      Your hitch weight capacity is the maximum hitch weight of whatever you are towing. That is the amount of weight your towed vehicle (travel trailer) will place on your truck hitch. Keep in mind, your hitch weight is stated on the travel trailer, but your hitch weight can increase as you load your trailer. The more balanced the payload is in your trailer, the less variance you have in hitch weight. I understand this to be separate from payload, but you may want to research and verify. I'm not sure how to verify actual hitch weight after your trailer is loaded, other than putting the tongue jack on a scale. A CAT Scale may have a way to check it. Continued:
      Gross Axle Weight Restriction (GAWR) is the maximum weight allowed for each axle. You can go to a CAT scale and get your axle weights for each axle with the truck unloaded. It will give you an idea how much weight you can add in the cab or bed without exceeding the limits. typically, if you stay within the payload and gross vehicle weight restriction, you should be fine, but I suppose it may be possible to over load and axle by not having the weight evenly distributed from front to back. A CAT SCALE can also check the axle weights on your trailer, but we'll talk about the trailer next, and then we'll take a look at what Combined Vehicle Gross Weight Restriction (CVGWR) is. Continued:
      Your Trailer will also have a dry weight, GVWR, Payload, and GAWR. It all works the same as for your truck. Your dry weight plus payload equals your GVWR. Remember, your payload will include water in your tanks if you choose to fill them for travel, plus propane, plus any weight that may be in your grey and black tanks while traveling, plus all other gear loaded in the trailer. Most people empty the grey and black tanks for travel, and some will only fill about one third fresh water in case they need to use it during a stop along the way. Some travel with empty fresh water tanks, and some travel full. It's a matter of personal choice,...and weight. Continued:
      Now, for Combined Gross Vehicle Weight Restriction (CGVWR). This is the total weight of both your truck and trailer, completely loaded, wet and with passengers and gear. Continued:
      My Combined Gross Vehicle Weight Restriction (CGVWR) is 13,800 lbs. So my truck and trailer while hitched together, fully fueled and loaded, with passengers, gear, etc., should not exceed this weight. This can be checked at a CAT Scale also. Keep in mind, if you go to a CAT Scale to check all these weights, you'll need to make multiple passes on the scales to get the different weights. You'll need to weigh the truck and trailer separately to verify their individual gross weights. If you want to check axle weights, you can ask the scale operator how to do that. Continued:
      My Truck weighs about 5,300 lbs and has a payload of 1500 pounds, for a Gross Vehicle Weight Restriction (GVWR) of 6,800 pounds. My trailer just happens to weigh the same as my truck and coincidentally has the same payload, so if I double the 6,800 pounds, that is 13,600 pounds, which has me just 200 pounds under the Combined gross Vehicle Weight restriction of 13,800 pounds. This is clearly within the limits, but it is best to have a little more gap in the numbers just so you are not pushing the envelope safety wise. I use a weight distribution hitch with sway control, and a brake controller to balance the braking with the travel trailer. In my opinion, only a fool would tow without these safety measures. Continued:
      Keep in mind, while you are driving, passenger weight is in the truck and does not count toward your travel trailer payload. Passenger weight only counts once. Continued:
      Everything I have explained is as I understand it and should be independently verified. I take no responsibility for anyone's actions taken based on this information. There is a plethora of youtube videos that go into great detail explaining these things. If you have any other questions, I'll try to help answer them as best as I can.

      @@tangoindiamike9189 Thank you for all of this information. It's starting to make sense to me now. I just called the Nissan Dealer where my truck originally was purchased from and gave them my VIN number. They looked up my specs and determined 7400 to be my max pull weight for a trailer. The website says the 2008 Nissan specs have the capability of towing up to 9,500 pounds with the King Cab and 9,400 pounds with the Crew Cab. That still confuses me the dealer says 7400 and the website says up to 9400. All these different numbers are way to confusing. To be on the safe side I better buy a travel trailer that weighs 6000 lbs dry weight. + full water tanks, propane tanks and gear I pack will be about 1000 lbs - 1200ish lbs I'm guessing so I will be within the 7400 lbs fully loaded range. The website says Dead Weight Hitch - Max Tongue Wt. (lbs)500
      . The man on the phone told me 1300 lb tongue weight. Again the numbers don't match. The 500 lb tongue weight specs the website shows seem very low. I'm still thinking about what you mentioned about passenger weight in my truck. The truck weight and trailer weight combined. I'm assuming I have to include the passenger weight into the 7400 max capacity which is making my new travel trailer smaller and smaller. I may not have the right truck for the camper I will be happy with. Most likely I will have to go to a Camper Dealer in person to get all the facts straight because I'm still not completely confident about exact weight numbers. I'm actually stuck at this point as far as picking out a camper. I really want something closer to a 30 foot camping trailer with a pop out or 2 because I like the layouts and the individual, separate area space of the kitchen, bathroom, master bedroom, etc.
