    Yep. 👍. That’s the one! I’d do the permanent bed option with a high grade mattress. Then I’d remove the lower bunk, and I’d use the top bunk for storage and a clothes rod hanger. The floor area becomes the dog bed area. Just the wife and myself, so seating and extra sleeping space isn’t a premium.

    Glad to see that Ember is following through with creating a MSL version of all of their Overland bunkhouse models. It will be interesting to see if they do the same with their Touring Edition bunkhouse models...that would really be a game-changer for the RV industry. I love that they've updated their solar components to Victron and the A/C to the quieter/more efficient Trumba model. I wish that they would bulk up the frame on the Overland Series to enable CCC to increase to 30%-35% of total GVWR. The fact that the cargo capacity of this model is still only 1,250 lbs is not that overwhelming, even with the lack of the slide. I'd also wish they'd bring back the ladder connection point on the side of the trailer and not just on the back of the trailer. Being able to securely access the far side of the trailer comes in really handy in various situations...especially on slide models when you need to clear off the top of the slides but don't have to climb all the way on to the roof to do it.
    The idea of a modular camp kitchen setup is an interesting idea, but being able to secure it while going over rough roads would be a challenge. One of the reasons I've always been anti-camp kitchen (and pro-MSL) is because I've accumulated stoves, coolers, etc. over a lifetime of camping so a camp kitchen is really just a bunch of redundant gear. I can already replicate a camp kitchen setup up regardless of the RV and I'm sure I'm not unique in that regard.
    One thing that I think Ember should do in ALL THEIR OVERLAND SERIES MODELS is add 12v cigarette-style power outlets alongside their USB and 110v plugs throughout the RV. While ample USB plugs are great for charging phones and other small devices, there are a lot of devices that charge via 110v cords but with big, inline, omnipresent "power bricks" that reduce their voltage down below 110v and often into the 12v range. These include laptops, some larger tablets, speakers, electric razors, etc. These devices typically come with 110v cords because that's what everyone uses at home, but often you can order separate 12v cords for these devices from the mfg or from third parties on Amazon...which is how I recharge my laptop in the car. However, the 12v cords typically still have cigarette-lighter type plugs because the devices they are charging typically draw more power (or have bigger batteries) than USB charging can handle. THE POINT OF ALL OF THIS IS to be able to charge a bigger range of devices directly off of 12v, therefore, bypassing the invertor whenever possible because doing so is much more efficient, and your onboard battery power will last MUCH LONGER the less time the inverter is running.
    Other things that I'd like to see added to all of Ember's MSL models is: 1) a screen for the rear access door, which would be great for getting airflow through the RV instead of having to open the side cargo door every time; 2) 12v and/or 110v power to the front cargo box to allow for power to flow to the front cargo box for accessories in/on the cargo box like an air pump, etc. (or even to add a heating element to the propane side for cold weather camping); 3) an integrated off-grid water filter (like from Blu Tech)...or an easy way to mount and hook that type of heavy-duty filter into the existing water system; and 4) electronic anti-sway/ABS braking system - either integrated throughout the Overland Series lineup from the factory or as a factory option.
    All in all, I really like the direction that Ember continues to pursue with their Overland Series.

      I agree about the dual axles; I've had blowouts in single-axle trailers, and it's been a lot hairier than when there's another tire in the system.
      Regarding the slide, I can see either way...but Ember does have the 191MSL, which is basically the same thing with a slide. I can see cases for both: if I were a solo camper, the simplicity of the 190MSL would be attractive, and the extra space not a huge deal; for couples, having that extra couple feet is really nice.

    Thank you Josh. This one is awesome. I found my new favorite. They fixed a lot of the things that I wasn't sure about before. The bathroom space is great still, the tv is a good spot, better solar equipment, and no slide to worry about.
    I would like the idea of a removal camp kitchen since there isn't a lot space in the kitchen. I was thinking of bringing a griddle in and a small table back there.
    The one thing left is I saw a few not great reviews by owners of other models. Did they fix the floor so it doesn't turn black? Are they getting better about warranty work? I saw a very concerning video where when it was fixed it was replaced the trim with nasty quarter round and they cut the floor so there was this weird seam.

I wish more campers had no dinette options. The only thing we ever use the dinette for in our camper is extra prep surface or a catchall for our backpacks and stuff.

    Yes! Can't wait to see the double axle version of this without a slide. Love the improvements they've made like Victron stuff. Also appreciate all their higher end stuff.
    I'd really like to see Ember try their hand at the classic airstream layout (bedroom in the front, bathroom in the middle, then kitchen and nice viewiful living room). It'd be more for a full time working couple than a mini toy hauler.
    As far as the modular kitchen goes, I don't think we'd have a use for it but maybe others would! If there's already a kitchen in the rig, that's what we'd use along with gear we already have to cook outside.
    Keep up the great work Josh and Ember! When they perfect a slightly larger, double axle, no slide version of this guy, we'll be ready!

    I love the idea of a modular kitchen for the MSL models. Also, I think Ember needs to look at additional solar capability for Max in order to support the second (540ah total) battery capacity. Adding another 200 - 400 watts would make the camper almost fully self contained. And a convection microwave standard would be nice.

    • @JoshtheRVNerd

    LOVE IT! Love the video, the info, the revisions (because the things I didn't like they fixed😀), the dad joke humor, and the honesty.
    I love the solar package update and the bunk area updates ARE HUGE. The storage pass through is really gross, but the bunk/storage area makes it a tiny issue. I would really struggle hitting the canopy arm because I'm severely clumsy, and I just know that would be an expensive learning curve for me. For that reason, I'd very sadly pass on having a canopy. No temptation to break something for me, please. Not a deal breaker. The bathroom sink looks SUPER cheap, it would be replaced PRONTO! But everything else is great. I don't have any other complaints and love this floor plan. For a single person who would mostly use the bunk for some outdoor toy's, and closet/dog space, I love it. And when the toy's are in use, friends could sleep there. Seriously, good job everyone!

    I love this one, definitely my favorite trailer under 100k. Liked it so much that I filled out their order interest form back in March (and sent a couple follow up emails), but I never even got a response from Ember. That doesn't inspire confidence in their customer service after the sale. However, I love the floor plan - the flex space with no slide is great. In the kitchen, I'd prefer the countertop be all the same level (vs. dropping down), but not a big deal. Wish they could somehow give it the same kitchen as the 170 MRB - that's a beauty! I'm a little wary of the TV location in the kitchen, seems like it would get dirty from cooking? I hope this floorplan will be a permanent part of their line up and not just a limited run - I'd like to pick one up.

    • @JoshtheRVNerd
      @JoshtheRVNerd  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think the "limited edition" thing they have on it is more reflecting that they are only building a limited initial run to dealerships and may not have enough to go around at first
      It's a full fledged member of their lineup for sure

  • @kevinbrummett5509
    @kevinbrummett5509 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Love the floorplan! Being an avid outdoor/overland guy, the double over double could use a swing door on the interior wall for an option of having that outdoor kitchen or entertainment area without worrying about the bugs getting inside. It could swing and lock back to recover your storage and bunk area when not used. Like with anything there is always give and take however and that could run into you losing a bit of storage space.

  • @tg9388

    Josh, I heard this is by far the best overall AC unit in the RV market? true or false? Are they designing the same floorplan but higher GV with 2 axles for 2023? I would need to swap master bed with my upgraded RV mattress so I'm thinking that would not work with any murphy bed setup. Maybe it will fit but wasn't sure what you think? Max solar package on this unit is ?

    I asked and Ember delivered!! Fantastic layout, really well though out. Very few campers are designed with the single, remote working traveler in mind and I’ve met many on my travels, most all choosing a van. This beats that choice in so many ways. I could care less about a built in kitchen. Would really like to know the weight specs with the max solar package. This would be key for a lot of people as most adventurers would order it this way I think.

    Thanks for introducing this T.T. to us Josh. It has features that I have been looking for...no dinette(waste of space) and no pop-outs(something else to go wrong). I was looking at the CrossTrail 21XG because of the rear door, to be able to carry a kayak inside, along with my bicycle. I just didn't know if I want another vehicle to maintain...I already own a truck with a cap on it. The only thing I would hope to change is the standard toilet/black tank to a composting toilet such as, the "OGO" or the "Nature's Head". Eliminating the need to go to the dump station at all for extended "boon-docking". This trailer looks to be a stout build, the suspension, frame, aluminum and azdel construction. I like the fact that they have installed a two-burner propane stove top, not an induction cooktop that would drain more of the battery power. I wouldn't bother with the outdoor pull-out kitchen. I like to cook at a picnic table in the campsite, away from the rig, weather permiting. "Happy Travels!"

    Things I would look at improving in this model
    • Bug netting option for keeping out the blood suckers while enjoying the fresh air.
    • All electric inside the RV making it fully possible to be off grid if needed with fridge, induction cooktop and even convection microwave inside. People can always use a BBQ outside to cook things if they want to use gas.
    • The large side door on the back side I see no reason for, instead I'd rather see a wider full size door with an optional ramp I can pull out or attach to help bring in an e-scooter and those e-bikes and other items I might want to put in that space to bring with me. Would also be great for those with mobility issues to bring in their mobility scooter for the ride.
    Overall I love Ember and where they are going with things, always look forward to seeing what they come out with next.
    With all the videos my husband and I have watched, we've drawn out out own dream design of what we'd like to see, just waiting for someone to come out with something similar... or happy to give the design to someone like Ember who can make it a reality if in exchange they'd give us one to enjoy ourselves. One can dream ^^

    Wow, this is almost the perfect camper. SIngle guy here, rarely need more the space for two. But I DO need office space, and too many of these size campers just fill the back full of bunkbeds, this system is perfect! I can set up my office on the lower bunk (sans pads of course), and use the top for storage for all my tools and such. yum yum! seriously, this is a great camper.
    On the note of the "modular cooking unit" Idea. I love it and Id support it and pay for it. if I'm NOT using my office, being able to have a cooking setup right there to pull out would be great.

With the flex "room" I can imagine some pretty neat possibilities. Planning for a couple standard sizes, but also custom offerings would appeal to a bunch of dog show and "dogs are family" nomads. Hope evolution of this model is around when I am ready to move up.
