Great video!
Thank you for this video! We appreciate your enthusiasm! The first production run is coming in April 2024!
That bed-system BROOO!!!!!
It’s exciting! How would you use it?
I like it! One suggestion that I have for Ember would be to go ahead and generator prep that front upper rack. It looks like it would hold an RV generator nicely.
Thank you for your feedback. We’ll share it with the team!
Okay, I love that bathroom and the fact that they used an amber light for the night light is 100% high five. It's roomier than our 5th wheel. I love the shelves in front of the toilet.
That bed!!!! This camper needs to get some kind of award. The people who created this camper are super creative and smart.
Thank you for your kind comments! We’re glad you appreciate the details. This trailer did, in fact, win some awards. And had multiple patents in process too. It will be available in the marketplace in April of 2024!
I'm just glad RV manufacturers are innovating now.
Me too. Me too
Thank you!
Great ideas here!!! Big negative for me is the round sink - ss rectangular deep sink is my preference. Extending the counter Right of the sink would provide more work space and a little extra room for the rectangular sink. - Thank you Myles! 😘
Agree 100%. This seems to be somewhat of a trend with overland campers. Makes no sense at all.
Thank you for the feedback.
Thanks for continually bringing different RV floor plans. I’ve been praying about getting an RV for years, and your channel is definitely going to help me decide which is best for my family of four.
Keep up the great work and I appreciate how detailed your videos are.
small opening in back limits what can go it in. everyone has a side by side now. 3 people to put out the bunk beds? lots of cool features, but I hate having to "build" my trailer and then take it apart every time. nice bathroom. nice exterior, I love the suspension system, I love the E-Brake built in.
Thank you for your input. There’s a lot of different types of gear that this trailer can haul, but you’re correct that not every ATV or quad will fit. Versatility and flexibility are very important in this model. In the future, maybe we’ll build a more traditional toy hauler!
Gone the extra mile with this design. Awesome. Lots of options for using this whole unit
Thank you for your feedback and positivity!
They really done themselves with this RV floor plan. This is the best one. Nice to see a big shower inside it.
Glad you like it!
Thank you for your kind words!
This manufacturer listens, some say it, but Ember shows us in so much details, from the blinds coming up from the bottom, to a cook top north & south creating counter space!
Thank you for your comments! We read them all!
It’s Interesting, I’d really call it Overland Lite. A few things I like: The general layout is great, can store bikes/motorcycle inside at night, Bed system is fantastic, brilliant idea!, porch is cool, nice dry bath size, wish I had an option for a Dry Flush Laveo, or Seperaett Urine Diverting toilet (hate black tanks). Appears to have a solid metal underbelly pan! KUDO’s if that’s true. Cons for me: With a ball coupler, and a straight departure angle it’s not a true overland trailer, but good enough for flat desert camping. Wheel lock is a cool idea, but it’s going to take out a knee or 2 while deployed, easy fix though. Suspension is OK for light overlanding, better than leafs, but Curt’s not really known for suspension, maybe it’s just private labeled TBD. The biggest drawback is it looks like a lippert frame, nuff said. Don’t mean to beat up on it too bad as traditional trailer manufacturers are climbing on the overland trend. Customers just need to know it’s limitations. I’d be interested in knowing the cabinet construction, insulation, power, and plumbing details, heated tanks?, is it a 4 season trailer? Hope they will provide details on that stuff, thanks for the nice overview!
This is fun and versatile. That is what RVing is all about. The kitchen is a bit sparse but what is there looks to be useful. I'd prefer a square sink and I'm sure there must be some way to put an extra swing up or flip up counter. I will repeat each time I see it, the microwave/air fryer oven is too high for the average woman to reach. I would opt for a shorter window, cabinets about 6 inches lower, and a micro/convect oven lower as well with a vent and not the hokey vent they used here. The front bunk area that makes it into a king bed is genius and that is an important feature. I can see why you would be impressed. Some clever ideas were used here. Nice tour.
Yesss!!!!! The cabinets and microwave are always way too high for the women!!!
Thank you for the great comment and helpful feedback. We appreciate your attention to detail!
Love the versatility and all features such as the independent wheel suspension, tube frame, 12 volt tank heater the open feel when you remove the extra beds, the bed conversion system.
Thank you for seeing the details!
Dry cool setup. I love the patio setup and it’s a toy hauler. Awesome design.
Thank you! 🔥🔥🔥
Good Lord Myles, this is a real gem, and they are so quiet about it, I don't get it, this should be shouted from the rooftops!!!!!
The off road suspension, put an articulating hitch on this puppy and a generator, you're set! Unbelievable versatility!!!! Add that Solar package to ensure you can go wherever you want!!!!!
My next RV, for sure! Thank you for showing us this unit!
We like the idea of shouting about this! THE 240TKR IS AWESOME!
Very creative and versatile!! Love that!!
Thank you!
Put the bathroom and bunks in the front and make a lift or removable king/double twin in the rear so you can fit toy and center the load. Slide axle as well. Like a semi trailer. Forward for without toys and back with toys.
Exactly!!
I would love to see this concept in a fifth wheel. Normal fifth wheel toy haulers waste so much space in the back that could be better used elsewhere. This type of design, applied to that sized trailer would be much better than the traditional toy hauler. Most of the time, I just want bikes, kayaks, and smaller items like that. I don’t need space to haul my airplane…
For the size this is a really amazing design! Who ever came up with doing this they better keep around.
Ember has a great design team! This camper is designed and build by people who camp!
Super cool. Very universal. This company puts out a quality product.
Thanks for the kind words! We appreciate the feedback!
‘Proudly slapped together as fast and cheaply as possible in Indiana’.
That’s not a very nice comment. Fast and cheap are not what Ember is all about. We’d love to invite you on a factory tour to see how we build these! We think you’d be surprised at the quality processes in place and the hard work of the craftsmen that build this product.
Love the twin bed idea in front we have been looking for something with twins and hard to find. Def gotta see where they sell them on the west coast and go look at one. So cool dude
Glad you liked what you saw! This model will be shipping to the west coast soon - first production is next month! Inquire with your local Ember dealership about when they’re getting theirs!
Pretty nice, i love that it has suspension, wish more had it.
The Curt Independent Suspension is really great!
Very cool 😎
that is probably the best murphy bed setup i have ever seen..... perfect for the guys going out OR with your girl wife whatever you have.
Absolutely. Great for so many different uses
Impressive. Really solid.
Thank you!
Good job giving an accurate explanation of the solar/lithium dynamic! Too many channels make it sound like RVing life is golden with a minimum lithium battery capacity.
We agree this needs to be discussed more!
Very nice
I really like these trailers. We looked at one, but it wasn’t this layout. This would work pretty well for us, especially with the ramp/patio in the back so I could roll my trike in (e-bike trike). I love the option of the twin or king bed configuration!! Wow - very cool! The only things I need that this doesn’t have is storage for blankets, fans, clothes, etc. just not enough storage and nightstands.
I would like to see Ember make a version more for couples - we have no need for extra beds.
I’d like to see the front couch area with more cabinet/closet storage and put a Murphy king bed in the back, so when we take our e-bikes out, we just drop the bed down. We also need a nightstand on each side of the bed because we each use a CPAP at night.
We are keeping our NOBO 19.2 (a “couples coach”) for this camping season, but want to upgrade to something that makes it easier to bring our e-bikes (trike). But I just don’t like the look of most toy haulers that are made mostly for 4-wheelers and dirt bikes.
Have you checked out all the other available floor plans?
@@EmberRecreationalVehicles thanks for the reply. Here are our “wish list items”:
1) low hitch weight - we are not interested in buying a 3/4 ton truck, but virtually all trailers with cargo space are designed for heavier cargo. We just want to bring our e-bike & e-trike and maybe an inflatable paddleboard. We do not need something that will carry a 4-wheeler. It’s like no RV camper company gets this about the needs of boomer campers. Between 2024-2027, over 11,200 of us turn 65 EVERY DAY! We are all retiring or getting ready to retire and it’s our time. Maybe put together a focus group and ask what we want. The dealer where we looked at Embers is not selling them.
2) ramp/patio - to make it easier to load bikes and a patio to relax and our dogs can relax on.
3) minimum true queen bed or king
4) storage
5) quality construction
6) double axle
7) electric refrigerator
8) solar
We love the outlander and have been smitten with the patio, etc. it’s nearly perfect, but the hit hitch weight is a non-negotiable item. Please fix it.
Wow . Very nice .... May be my next RV
🙌
We can help you with that! 🔥🔥🔥
Nice! They’re thinking out-of-the-box. Just one thing, that counter next to the kitchen sink (on the right). Why isn’t it the level of the kitchen counter? It would create more prep area for kitchen if it was the same height.
My only thought is so you can swivel the tv without issue? Or give you a space for components like a gaming system that isn’t right next to the sink/water? Good question tho🤔
This is not a toy hauler. You could barely load a residential push mower in there due to the width.
Exactly
No slide with a rear deck is awesome!
Thank you!
Good to see something different!
It’s versatile and multifunctional. So many ways to use this RV!
I love the bed, very versatile, and I love gadgets!
Thank you!
Mann..i gotta get this..im a atv riding guy and everything checks out for me..and that window concept is freaking awesome.
We’re excited this one might fit you!
Needs 60" of width to load a large ATV or a mid size side by side, 54" isn't enough for even large quads. EG. golf cart and midsize ATV should fit....
Thanks for your input!
Add more cabinetry above the kitchen bar window. Add a pantry space next to the door and kitchen table from floor to ceiling. Add additional cabinetry on the passenger wall next to the ceiling. Add larger grey and black tanks.
Thank you for your input!
Would love to see a sliding privacy curtain to divide the main king bed area.
Amazing
Thank you!
Great presentation sir
Thanks for watching!
I love the trailer but I would like to see if they could swap the bathroom and kitchen to open up the back space so you could load a quad. I would definitely be a customer if they did!
Thank you for your feedback! We’ll pass your requests on to our design team.
Does the sky light that you said opens have a screen. I agree with other post about the back closing with a slider or ? Convection/ air fryer oven. What about some type of closet attachment for the rails?
Like the shower and I agree on the shade pulling up. Shower is great but a larger fan . The set up in front for bed (s) is genius.
Being able to reconfigure the bed is really cool. As a sofa - it doesn't look very comfy. It's a very interesting trailer.
Thank you for your feedback. The sofa setup is surprisingly comfortable, but it isn’t a luxury sofa or theater seat. That’s in a different floor plan!
I’d like the link to the rack system so I can see what other options are available. Not a lot of storage or wardrobe space…there’d be suitcases everywhere with 4 people, lol! Would be nice if the outside had a hitch for a grill or some sort of outside kitchen since the inside kitchen is so small. Really innovative concepts tho❤
I love it! This is what I’ve been looking for. I just sold my brookestone 5th wheel because it was just for rv parks not for the woods. I have nothing negative to say about it. Ok ok but we need to know the price!
Love it ‼️💯would lik to know price . It’s exactly what I’m looking for .
How do you close the back at night. I could make it out from just watching. Do you have to close up the back deck every night? Because I didn’t see any kind of door or slide???
I was eager for the Embers to come out initially a couple of years ago...very disappointed in the many reports I saw of leaks...I wonder if they have done anything in their build process to prevent leaks.
Our quality control and PDI process is much different now than in year one. We’ve learned, we’ve improved, and we’re still always trying to be a better RV company!
That's good to hear.
@@EmberRecreationalVehicles
Looking more closely at the floor plan diagram, the width of the cargo space appears to be 56".
this RV delivers a whole bunch of extra work.
Depending on how you want it configured. You can leave it permanently how you like it if you don’t plan to haul large cargo. That’s how I would use it.
I like the statement you posted for your new channel. I'm going to subscribe to it.
If you combined this with a Outdoors RV you might have a winner. I like the composite shell and 12v A/C. Needs a bit more battery capacity, maybe 400A with 12v only fridge. How much water does it hold? Black/grey tank size?Etc ( yes I will go to their website and find out ). Those railings for the back deck are heavy and take up interior space when stored. We ditched ours. Don't get the multi level counter tops. At least they thinking a bit more outside the box.
The battery capacity of this coach is only limited by budget - it easily fits dual GameChanger 270Ah in the interior batter compartment for 540Ah total. The fresh water capacity is 81 gallons. Gray tank is 35 gallons and black tank is 35 gallons. Thank you for your feedback!
Very impressive. I may downsize, and this trailer checks all the boxes, very curious about the price.
Do you have the width measurment??
Manual tongue jack? Major miss. It's innovative, but severely lacking in kichen and bedroom storage, but if full or half length wardrobe or storage cabinets are offered for the rail system than can be remedied. and that round sink has to go. On another channel I see people asking for units with twin beds, which seem to be hard to find. I don't have any toys but I want the patio so this fits my bill. Just wish it had a way to securely close off the backend without having to close the patio. Does the treadlock replace chocks, or are they a supplement?
Very innovative and great build quality… is it me or am I getting a distinct vibe the this company is related to Brinkley… the logo, the innovation, the build quality…
All that space and they made the kitchen - counter space tiny.
You can always use a free standing table 👍
Genuine question, why don't they make the skylight bligger, so it's covering most of the shower area?
I like all the bells and whistles. But it looks like there may be some weight limits on some of them. My six foot six , 270 lb. Brother couldn’t sleep on one of those wall bunks. People need to know this kind of things. In my family a bunch of burly hunters would be needing a trailer but this don’t look like it would hold up to that. A family with little kids maybe that don’t weigh by thirty lbs. but I wouldn’t put a little kid on either bunk. Too high and no rails to keep them from falling out. It all looks nice though. Love the big bed in the end design. And the ramp in the back for a bike, kitchen is nice except for round sink. Large square sink is better. Nice fridge. Bath is great. Need sturdier back porch. Like that area but those cables wouldn’t hold my family of four up. We aren’t fat. Just tall.
Single bunk capacity is 300# and double bunk is 600#. The rear deck capacity is 2000#.
Nice design but i have two issues....chassis and hitch, you know the important stuff. Chassis....outside walls sitting on gussets instead of the frame. Frame needs to be wide enough for outside walls to be sitting on it. Hitch....needs to be through frame design, longer, and articulating.
Possible to add a full screen for the back? On an angle so you can still watch tv!
The rear door includes a pull down screen.
Why does every RV video have to contain people claiming it's not for them 😂🤦🏼♂️ As if somebody said "You are absolutely going to love and purchase this RV, guaranteed"
Hahaha I appreciate this comment so much 😂
Some assembly required. Hahaha brutal
Reconfigurability is the main feature of this design! Yes, some assembly is required - but the flexibility and versatility can’t be beat!
Please tell me the handle for that wheel chock comes off. Looks like an awesome trip hazard after a few too many beverages lol
Of course the handle is removable!
Does the Ember Overland include a generator? Does it have a fuel station?
No and no.
We offer a Max Solar upgrade package that can take the place of a generator for most off-grid tasks!
Any more Big truck Big RV Collabs coming up?
Soft start A/C?
Yes I believe it is a soft start AC
Will this Ember fit a trike
The maximum width in the rear is 56” on this model.
I sure wish Ember and other manufacturers would realize that short people can fit in tall RVs but tall people can't fit in short RVs. I am loving the innovative concepts but sadly, this will never sit in my driveway due to the ceiling height.😩
The ceiling height inside varies from 6’10” down to 6’2”. What height would it need to be?
I love the layouts and ideas that Ember is implementing. But after viewing a few of them, they are total junk. Also when talking to the factory reps at Overland Expo, they really didn't seem to know their own product and or care that the display model was popping rivets and had broken welds on the frame.
Really?
That’s very strange. The prototype of this model (actually the very same one in this video) went to the Overland show along with one of the company founders, the lead product developer, a prototype engineer, the director of procurement, and a design engineer. They all know their stuff. Sorry you didn’t get that impression. There were no “popping rivets” since none are used on the body of the unit and we’re completely unaware of frame weld issues as well. It’s always disappointing to find out we left a poor impression, but it’s also frustrating when comments are left without details that match up to what we know to be true.
What is the tongue weight on this 240TKR?
The factory weight is 905 lbs.
@@EmberRecreationalVehicles I’m assuming that’s the dry tongue weight? Does it include the weight of the propane tanks or the batteries from the solar package? Thanks.
@@displacedtexan Yes, this is the dry weight of the hitch. Propane and battery (or batteries) will effectively add to this weight.
Round sink😢. You can't put a rectangle pan in a round sink. Also toys for him but she doesn't s stuck at camp doing the dishes ,why not a dish washer?😢____________________😊
Easton wine project
really cool but no golf cart is fitting in that space. Smaller quads maybe and dirt bikes for sure. But this model kills itself by putting the bathroom in the back. No full size quads or side by sides are going in this.
I wish this configuration came with better quality
I wish this comment came with some positivity.
What decent RV isn’t cheap? @ 1:38
I really like your way of doing rv video's. I like Ember's but I wish they did the same thing as Palomino Pause and Imperial Outdoors does with their campers. They sit the load bearing floors, walls, and roofs on the actual frames instead of using welded Camber Brackets which extends the width of the Embers. Well all other rv manufacturers do the same thing, they use welded L brackets... so many feet apart, then mount the floor to those brackets, then build the walls to the outside edge of the floor which is NOT sitting on the actual frame but just a welded bracket. Then the weight of the roof on top of the walls. All RV MANUFACTURES NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE!.. Even Ember.
I hear you. Unfortunately, very few people can afford something like a PAUSE for weekend recreational use, and the cost of that is what comes with that level of quality. I think Ember is pretty dang good for what they have to offer at their price.
I Don't know about that Sir, Imperial Outdoors X22 is about the same price of an Ember, BUT go ahead and take a look at the build quality of that X22 and compare it to say a Ember of the same length. @@mylesrv
@@arizonanomad I’ll have to look at them. I go to RV events all over the country and can’t recall coming across that brand ever.
Who wants to assemble/disassemble that every night?
It can stay in the “down” position at all times if you prefer.
They need to get rid of plastic sink in bathroom and if the toilet is not porcelain in a few years they will crack
Thanks for the feedback. The toilet is porcelain.
Those welds at 5:26 are terrible.
LOL @ 16:00 "you all :" yep your a southern boy not one of those east coast yankee , you can take the boy out of the
south but you can't take the south out of the boy
Queen bed not king
Myles u only do travel trailers, not rv coaches
Man, you are going to wear out the phrase "as well"... try also, as well...lol
Downside cannot haul most utvs.
Them welds at 5:27 👎🏿
Loose the toy hauler function & add bathroom space… keep the rest
Interesting concept. Please check out our 221MSL or 201FBQ models.
Very cool but not impressed with inside storage very off grid capable but lacks sufficient capacity for non-perishable food storage.
I hear you. A cooler sounds like a simple solution for that?
@@mylesrv my thought was a much needed pantry
Not 1/2 ton towable. Not to mention Ember had a lot of serious quality issues when they first came out. Thanks for the video but not for me.
These Ember trailers are hot garbage. As an owner, I feel bad for anyone who buys one.
Ok lol
I found their ideas and efforts to use modern materials refreshing. However!! After looking at the final product up close execution is still low end RV construction, over torqued screws in the outside corner strips, low quality cabinet materials with screws that will rattle loose. Just that sort of typical Indiana low end cheap assembly still happening. I do like they ditched the disaster Slides on their “tuff adventure trailers” given they couldn’t build a slide correctly to start with 😆.
I think they can get quality up eventually but they aren’t 50+k trailers till they ditch cheap screw assembly methods
Love the design layout
That bad?
I,appreciate your honesty
Too expensive
Bro, get a tripod and stop waving the camera around. You’re making people motion sick.
This queen bed is good concept but practically bad. Every night you have to set up ur bed? No thanks.
Once you get it setup the way you want, it’s no different from a regular murphy bed.
Great ideas with poor execution. no point in having a "toy hauler" that doesn't have full width across the back to load and not fit at least a 2 person side by side UTV.
That is WAY TOO MUCH WORK!! Why has going camping turned into so much work? It might look cool but can you imagine trying to relax and then having to do that much work to go to sleep? You have to unmake and remake and move all of the beds every single day and night and move everything around to even enjoy a single day?? No thanks!!! And to pay that much to do it?? Ummm no!
Meh
These videos would be so much more enjoyable if you didnt talk so much.
We like the way he talks.
Honestly, really don’t appreciate spending the little teeny bit of time I have on my computer listening to commercials you to two14 seconds. I’m gonna be out of here buddy.
I dont know what you mean when you say “commercials you to two14 seconds”
She's just being a c***.
