Being a photographer who likes to visit national parks, I've always wanted to "invest" in one of these small trailers (I don't need much space) so I can just stay in the parks regardless of if it rains or not (for now I've been staying in hotels, which gets costly over time and usually means you have at least a 20 minute drive each morning, and usually more depending on the park and where you want to go (it would be nice to just park in one of the parking lots at one of the viewpoints at some of the parks). The only thing I noticed is that these types (in some cases) cost nearly as much as a regular, say, 24 ft model. I would think that a simpler design would mean a cheaper price, but that's not always the case it seems. I think the cheapest I've seen ones like this (not this particular brand/models) is about $10,000 new. Heck, even the teardrop shaped campers are $10,000. Thanks for the overview though. ONe of these days I'll get one. I'm sure after a few years of use, it would pay for itself versus hotel stays at an average of $70 per night.
Ty Ty for telling us how tall you are. I hate when people don't say that. It's good to know what kind of trailers us tall people can stand up in. Ty a lot
Don't be sorry later Rusty. You only live once and it should be 'YOUR WAY.' Cancel your earlier order and go with this one with no regrets and then hit the road jack ! I too would love this one for my hubby and I. We are both in our early 70's and have never done anything like this but sure would enjoy it. Thanks for your review !
This is just. What I’ve been looking for, man the price is just right ,I was looking at the little 400 and after they told me the price at $40 K I thought well looks like I’m not getting a RV trailer until I saw this , thanks for the video
rusty keep in mind the rule that you should be able to get any trailer for no more than 75% of the MSRP. That being said this is a lot more camper than the Coachmen in my opinion. The choice is yours..Excited for you and cant wait to see what you end up with. Lets go camping!
I like your reviews because you are objective, open and honest! You're also interesting, informative and entertaining in your videos, and as a viewer, I can't ask for anything more! Thank you for your video series.
Rusty, build you a bed across the rear using your trifold mattress leaving you some sitting area replace the table with a small one say about 30 inch in diameter and you would have everything that you need. Give it serious thought and go with your gut feeling. Remember regardless of what you purchase it can be sold at close to the purchase price within a year. Time for a discussion with Casper.
There is something to be said about smaller RV's. We had a 35ft 5th wheel and holy smoke was it tall. Had a loft over the garage and a single slide out with bed/shower/ toilet up stairs in the front. We did full time in it for a few years. But then we decided to upgrade while downsizing...so with the huge 3500 dually (RAM) I have we decided on a truck camper. Life is so much simpler now. We have ALL the amenities we had in the big trailer. Dry bath and toilet, TV w/ sat. AC, a full side slide out and lots of storage. We were amazed..and the bonus ? Don't need to worry about wheeling that long trailer around and wondering if it will fit. Not only that but 6 less tires we need to worry about and maintain. I could see owning one of these little trailers..if it has a winter package and 4 seasoned. Mama could pull that around in her 1500 with no problem.
You know what these small trailers remind me of ? Back in 2013 we were were looking for a trailer in Yuma, AZ for our travel to the north and on base there was an old 1967 Commodore. Pretty snazzy for the period of the 60's. It had a toilet and shower, kitchen and table. I was really considering it to rehab it and bring it back to its old glory. The guy only wanted 200 dollars for it! I should have bought it and fixed it up...I think it would have been a great flip right about now!
If I was by myself, this would work. I just sold my 5th wheel and truck to pull it with, I loved the 5th wheel, but set up was a real pain. I am 72 as well, I do not travel that far, I have owned two RV's a 34 foot Class A motorhome, used it 3 times and sold it for what I paid for it, my 5th wheel I used a lot but it had its drawbacks.
Nice video - thanks for the quick and informative overview! I've been looking for a lighter RV to pull with my Rav4 so I appreciate all the info and detail! Cheers
That's why when raining you leave your awning un level. Put one side a few notches down and the rain runs right off! Best to leave the side furthest away from the entry door down a few notches.
Tilted my awning down 45 degrees so the water would run off during a heavy rain. Water did not drain off but accumulated behind the roller until nearly 100 gallons accumulated and broke the roller in half. Anyone else have that problem. Won't ever have another camper with an awning or rubber roof. Probably won't ever buy another camper after the problems l have had. First year l had it, it spent more time at the dealer than it did at my house. Dealer made many promises for repairs, but damaged more than they fixed and did not honor the "Return if not satisfied" guarantee.
Oh! How I love 14 footers, Rusty! Thanks so much for the tour. Although everyone else seems to think this one is the one for you I think you'd be better off with the Clipper that you ordered. More room and a dry bath...what you want. But, yes, this one is a little cutie!
In my opinion (at least for my needs anyway) it would make a nice little trailer for those short-term weekend get-away camping trips; but a bit too small to be a full-time unit.
Hello Rusty, I like the fiberglass - also, nice utilization of space in a compact unit. If it was just two feet longer with a separate dinette and bed, it would be almost perfect for extended traveling or even full-timing. I wish all travel trailers under 20 ft.in length had the option of a smaller wall A/C...they are more energy efficient with less noise. Maybe you'll see other new units at the upcoming RV show that will fit your needs.
I believe that most RV's could be retrofitted with a wall mount a/c by any reasonably competent RV tech, carpenter, or handy DIY'er . I just may do this to my 19 foot Aljo whenever the rooftop a/c gives up the ghost.
Seems like a good plan...I'm still hoping to find the unit I'm interested in for sale without the a/c. A few of the RV dealers in the west have one or two in their inventory. I will be traveling with the weather, so having a Maxx or Fantastic fan would work nicely.
Adorable but for 14,000 bucks it should have the modern type of awning so the support brackets don't inhibit moving around, especially being so tiny area.
Built my own camper/toy hauler from a 16' cargo trailer. Dry, roomy, roof top a/c, pulls well. Have a grand total of $5200 in it. That includes $3800 I paid for the trailer.
The woodworking in there looks really nice. Makes it look like real cabinets and the bases at the ends of the dinette are beautiful. For that price, I'd probably opt for a Geo Pro 14FK though. Although this is definitely worth considering.
Wow, that is almost exactly what i'm looking for. Just don't need/care for the microwave and i'd want to have "space" to put in a larger fridge (not full size) and it might be something i could do something with.
For me the rear or rear side dinette is a must as is light weight, but I still want a dedicated and ready bed and under it, big slide out drawers accessed from outside for tools and such. Add a 2" trailer hitch or two for a cargo carrier platform and add a solar array and system and a 5,000-pd airbag load capacity and I'm good to go....................
WANA in Indiana sold us one last year. $4900 plus delivery. No toilet, no shower. Sink. Microwave. refrig. TINY. looks like the one here with the overhang. All RV's leak so we apply a seal every 3 months. We keep our RV under a shelter when not moving. just replaced floor, new AC which we put outside (not roof),new refrig. Great little RV
I wish the old Fun Finder 139Xs were still being produced. They had a jack-knife bed that would fold down over the dinette and were just under 14 ft. long and white cabinets. Really unique looking.
Fantastic unit Rusty great looking, well built,well priced ,compact,lightweight ,what more could you want, i agree with the other guys ..go for it if you can..there was excitement in your voice..if you can get your deposit back..why settle for something less if you can buy this
Still think you will be better off with the other one to live in, and camp with. This is a nice unit though. Our RV just has 2 swivel rocker/recliners in the back instead of a dinette. We have a 3/4 bed that comes down over the recliners after putting them in the recline position. 4'x4' window in the back and 2- 3'x4' high windows on the sides. Bed frame sits on a redwood ledge built in the wall along the back and 2 sides 26" off the floor. A 32" shower stall with glass enclosure, a composting toilet in a separate room with a small window. Small kitchenette, no gas stove built in, just 30" counter and sink, 12v refrig below with 9" drawers along side. 30" 2 door cabinet above. We carry a small 1 burner gas camp stove and an induction plate. If the weather is good we cook on a fire ring and a dutch oven, cowboy style. The RV is 16' long bumper to bumper, lightweight, all aluminum body, 1965 Grumman-Olsen Kurb-Van motorhome. Original 250-6 Chevy motor, automatic transmission. Gutted and rebuilt from the ground up using S-10 running gear mounted to the original frame, air bagged the rear axle. We carry 40 gallons of water, 10 gal grey tank. 4 gallon solar hot water box heater/tank plumbed gravity to shower and sink along with 3-100 watt flexible solar panels, mounted on the roof. 2 batteries tied to 2 panels and the other isolated, used to start the RV and used as a house battery too. We carry a jump start battery/charger/tire inflator kit. We also have a heavy duty engine alternator that charges when on the road. We have an 8' manual canopy. All lights are LED. We went to Long Beach California and up to the Canadian border on I-5 and back on 101 along the Pacific coast in 2015. No extended trips this last year, 2 cataract surgeries, 1 in June, 1 a month ago, yesterday was the last of the eye drops. I retired at 55 on PERS, 61 now....James
My dream is finding a trailer this small or slightly bigger, 14 to 17 feet, with a mid-size frig/freezer, double sink, propane stove/oven combo AND microwave. In addition, double bed in front with dinette/bed on the side, or U-shaped dinette/front bed and double bunks in the back. That would be my ideal mini travel trailer. Thanks for the video.
great video Rusty. We have an avenger 14RB and love it. The axle was undersized and we changed it out, other than that 4 years now and a happy man. If you consider used as an option check out the Avenger 14 RB, model no longer being built. One more thing, I am always leary of the side mount A/C units. The tray holds condensation, and when you move it can slosh in RV. Also how well does rain stay out is my fear on side mount A/C units.
TheOldFarmersWife bs.. if you stop eyeing the no soul women who you love so much and look at a sane and reasonable women she would live with you.. save money and when ready to have a kid .. use the saved money on a house... unless of course you are rich or have money.. but not everyone does..
Yeah, it's 5K less than a Casita or a Scamp. It's at least 15K less than an Escape. But watch what happens to the resale value the second you take a stick built trailer off the dealer lot. I can sell my 2015 Escape 19 for more than I paid for it. Molded fiberglass trailers don't depreciate like stick built ones do. But if price is your only consideration, this is a nice little rig.
Suggestion: search YT for the sweet young family that purchased a NEW Keystone trailer; the frame bent on on one trip, and the leaf spring broke later on. Warranty did not help; manufacturer was unconcerned. Lightweight trailers are light for a reason!
WE bought one from Motorsports in McAlester OK, in June and found out the water tank was leaking. So we took it back and the KZ warranty is worthless for our savings of 15K is gone and they will not fix it. It was brand new so we thought there would be nothing wrong with it. But surprise when I asked if they would fix it like they said when we bought it, They said if anything is wrong just bring it back. That was several months ago and I asked if it was fixed yet and the manager "Linda" started screaming at me for calling. I was like what is happening. So be careful who you buy one from.
Looks good with all pertinite info you like to hear. Very good video , told me pretty much everything I needed to know about this unit, its approximate price and where its sold. Good job.
Hi Rusty, I may be in love with that nifty little 2018 Travellite Trailer you showed us yesterday! Gotta show my hubby and save my dimes!....Still anticipating your Trailer!
When will the RV industry realize that if they designed these small campers to accommodate 1 person - they would sell like hotcakes. There are many thousands of men and women who have a need for a small, affordable camper which sleeps 1person. Not 19. Put a twin size bed with a good mattress - and use the extra space for a full size refrigerator and a larger bathroom and more kitchen counter space --- and I personally know hundreds of traveling construction workers who would buy one tomorrow.
I can see buying one of these once I settle on what to pull it with!! Thanks for Rusty on the spot video!!! I don’t think a Prius could pull it! What can a Prius pull? Barb
Yeah that's what I noticed. For $14k, you could buy a bigger trailer. You'd expect the smaller ones to be at least a little cheaper (like the $10,000 range but that doesn't seem to be the case). Even the teardrop campers cost $10,000+ new.
Price doesn’t go by size it goes by quality. Look at the price of a the airstream Bambi’s that are 40k plus and then look at the common fifth wheel brand new 30-40k
roven 08 All campers on the market are scams in my opinion, but I’m like most and still love them. I repair what goes wrong and replace as much as I can with stuff that’s durable I just would never want to travel with some homemade back yard built cargo turned camper.
My only gripe is the AC location. It really should be top center on the back wall above the rear window rather than the sidewall above the seating area. It would not only look better there but also would not get in the way of a tall persons head when seated.
tip: if video seems a tad blurry, not to worry. go to settings (the sprocket looking thingy) on the bottom right hand side and select 720p. in a few moments, the video will be sharp and clear.
Saying the price in the first minute, best camper video.
@h2obeth
Right? Why is it so difficult to find prices? I guess discovering the price later makes people more likely to buy it? No clue.

This is great and a great price. I paid around 20K for a bushwacker with basically the same features, but that's California prices for you.

No extended trips this last year, 2 cataract surgeries, 1 in June, 1 a month ago, yesterday was the last of the eye drops. I retired at 55 on PERS, 61 now....James
Thanks for letting us know about the the cost upfront.
Beautiful camper, I need one like this.
My dream is finding a trailer this small or slightly bigger, 14 to 17 feet, with a mid-size frig/freezer, double sink, propane stove/oven combo AND microwave. In addition, double bed in front with dinette/bed on the side, or U-shaped dinette/front bed and double bunks in the back. That would be my ideal mini travel trailer. Thanks for the video.
good luck!!!
Check out Taylor coach they special in small trailers

Is this guy just the best or what?
great video Rusty. We have an avenger 14RB and love it. The axle was undersized and we changed it out, other than that 4 years now and a happy man. If you consider used as an option check out the Avenger 14 RB, model no longer being built. One more thing, I am always leary of the side mount A/C units. The tray holds condensation, and when you move it can slosh in RV. Also how well does rain stay out is my fear on side mount A/C units.
great small trailer. my classB is a travel lite. very well built.
That would be ideal for a single person
TheOldFarmersWife bs.. if you stop eyeing the no soul women who you love so much and look at a sane and reasonable women she would live with you.. save money and when ready to have a kid .. use the saved money on a house... unless of course you are rich or have money.. but not everyone does..
Yeah man and this has twice the room for a half a person, wtf ?
suxha bleen lol wtf are you talking about dumbass 😂

That has everything you need. I like it.
Yeah, it's 5K less than a Casita or a Scamp. It's at least 15K less than an Escape. But watch what happens to the resale value the second you take a stick built trailer off the dealer lot. I can sell my 2015 Escape 19 for more than I paid for it. Molded fiberglass trailers don't depreciate like stick built ones do. But if price is your only consideration, this is a nice little rig.
I had a Casita for 2 years...sold it for $3000 more than I paid
Except for the fuse box on the floor, love this thing.
The fuse box is in the floor how crazy what if you have water problems and burn it down no thanks
This is a nice unit. I like this for a camper. I think I would prefer a motorhome, but this is nice. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and happy trails.

The build quality appears to show better than the Coachmen Clippers.
Would love this if it had 1 tent bed at the end would be perfect for a family of 3 or 4 then!
Suggestion: search YT for the sweet young family that purchased a NEW Keystone trailer; the frame bent on on one trip, and the leaf spring broke later on. Warranty did not help; manufacturer was unconcerned. Lightweight trailers are light for a reason!
WE bought one from Motorsports in McAlester OK, in June and found out the water tank was leaking. So we took it back and the KZ warranty is worthless for our savings of 15K is gone and they will not fix it. It was brand new so we thought there would be nothing wrong with it. But surprise when I asked if they would fix it like they said when we bought it, They said if anything is wrong just bring it back. That was several months ago and I asked if it was fixed yet and the manager "Linda" started screaming at me for calling. I was like what is happening. So be careful who you buy one from.
Lots of storage. Nice. Thank you.
Is perfect, all that you need.
I like this one, and the shape and height are perfect.
It’s really nice! This was a really good presentation!
Looks good with all pertinite info you like to hear. Very good video , told me pretty much everything I needed to know about this unit, its approximate price and where its sold. Good job.
Hi Rusty, I may be in love with that nifty little 2018 Travellite Trailer you showed us yesterday! Gotta show my hubby and save my dimes!....Still anticipating your Trailer!
Excellent video!! Informative, clear and gave the price!
Beautiful little camper, decent price.
When will the RV industry realize that if they designed these small campers to accommodate 1 person - they would sell like hotcakes. There are many thousands of men and women who have a need for a small, affordable camper which sleeps 1person. Not 19.
Put a twin size bed with a good mattress - and use the extra space for a full size refrigerator and a larger bathroom and more kitchen counter space --- and I personally know hundreds of traveling construction workers who would buy one tomorrow.
Good idea. And I know many retired seniors, living off monthly SS, who could survive being single and old age, in one.
This is ideal for a female to go on camping quilt retreat when husband isn’t available to take out the big one and go .
It's funny when people say the fantastic fan is all you need. Not in Ga when it's 102 degrees and 98% humidity.
_Way to seize the day pardner!_ 🏃⚡👍

Thank you! Great video! This is really a cutie
Anything coming out of Texas is excellent 100%%%%%%%
Thanks. I was born there.
You sound exactly like Billy Bob Thornton.
he sounds like me too
I can see buying one of these once I settle on what to pull it with!! Thanks for Rusty on the spot video!!! I don’t think a Prius could pull it! What can a Prius pull? Barb
800 lbs maybe
Crazy, in 2004 I paid same price for a new 31’ 5th wheel.
My jaw dropped when I heard "14 Thousand" are you friggen kidding?
7 grand tops and that is stretching it. Ridiculous.
Yeah that's what I noticed. For $14k, you could buy a bigger trailer. You'd expect the smaller ones to be at least a little cheaper (like the $10,000 range but that doesn't seem to be the case). Even the teardrop campers cost $10,000+ new.
Price doesn’t go by size it goes by quality. Look at the price of a the airstream Bambi’s that are 40k plus and then look at the common fifth wheel brand new 30-40k
roven 08 All campers on the market are scams in my opinion, but I’m like most and still love them. I repair what goes wrong and replace as much as I can with stuff that’s durable I just would never want to travel with some homemade back yard built cargo turned camper.
This thing needs to be made into a rear entry toy hauler. Dirt bike,motorcycle or 4 wheeler with a rear ramp and fold up bed. I’d buy that in a second
Are you still willing to get the camper?
I need this in my life........
Thanks for tour Rusty.
I cud do this too
Thank you for sharing it Rusty 👍🏽😊🙏🏻
Rusty is excited about this one!
Like fiberglass, door large 1,770 light
My only gripe is the AC location. It really should be top center on the back wall above the rear window rather than the sidewall above the seating area. It would not only look better there but also would not get in the way of a tall persons head when seated.
I would buy that. It's very nice. I didn't know they made that. I been looking at class b+.
Yes I agree!
This would be perfect for a tiny person or maybe.....two!
I'm 5 foot 4 inches short and this model of camper would be great for me. I've been looking for something like this.
tip: if video seems a tad blurry, not to worry. go to settings (the sprocket looking thingy) on the bottom right hand side and select 720p. in a few moments, the video will be sharp and clear.
Yeah man
I love the weight, 1900 lbs, I could tow this with my jeep liberty!
My Colony Park is rated for 2k towing so something like this would be the ticket.
Great Videos.....Thanks for the Awesome content!!!
Wow that is nice
