Like the stove part
Just rode to my camp friend has a brand new Fleetwood popup set up very nice got my spot
Thanks my ninja
My pleasure!
I have a Fleetwood pop-up with a cassette toilet. I added a clean out in my sewer line. I will not go in the house and dump in the toilet. If you have a spill you will raw sewage in the bathroom.
I was always afraid of that
Makes sense
Josh, I want to let you know my wife and I finally purchased our retirement camper. A new 2022 Rockwood 2280BHESP, which we bought locally (about an hour from home). I cannot begin to thank you enough for the information you supplied in this, and other videos, which helped immensely, when it came time to make our decision. Your sincere efforts to supply us with the information we need to make an informed decision, is unique in the RV industry, at least as far as I can tell! Thank you again, and we'll keep watchin'!
Congrats Steve! I hope you continue to hang out and share your experiences with us!
If you haven’t done so, then would you mind dropping me a quick review at g.page/r/CdPcitNVx2nDEAg/review in return for the helping hand??
I wish my HW27SC had a cassette toilet instead of black holding tank, to be much easier to empty when full. I don't use my toilet so I don't have to dump 2x on a week of camping.
I'm waiting for you to show the interior in "road mode" lol.
The sink/stove hinges into the walkway. All the cushions fold flat. The door goes horizontal along the roof.
We fill the rest of the isle with stuff(including the door, I removed it from its track) so that there isn't much room for anything to move around, since we mostly offroad with ours.
We rented one back in 1970, pulled it with my dad's station wagon. They've come a long way since then.
lol I thought about it :)
UK folding campers often have an enclosed toilet compartment.
Many of these US folding campers used to but it seems like many are going to curtain
I have something very similar to this with a Cassette. We only use it for #1's, and when it's full, I just dump it in a vault toilet at the campground. I've dumped it at home as well, and it wasn't an issue either due to the chemicals I use I guess.
I've asked park warden's before about it and they've never had any issues, but their preference was dumping in a vault toilet or use the dump station.
Thank you!! I always wondered. Glad I asked :)
That's the only place I've dump one also. Using a flush toilet as a dump is just a recipe for splatters and messes that gross out others. Wouldn't even want to be the poor person that has to clean it up if you overloaded the flush toilet and clogged it.
The trailer has "limit switch" settings for the UP motion AND down motion. Be sure to tell the buyers about them. You don't have to depend on watching the "green wire". When lowering the roof, the down limit switch will turn off the motor when the roof comes down all the way AND keeps slight tension on the wire when adjusted correctly. Therefore, when raising the roof, the motor stops AUTOMATICALLY, even if you continue to hold the switch in up position! And the same thing when lowering the roof. The motor stops AUTOMATICALLY when lowering the roof, even if you continue to keep the switch pushed down! The adjustment screws are under the cover that holds the up-down switch!
Thank you!
Nice camper. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
I grew up camping in a Coleman Pop-Up. Special place in my heart for them.
One could take a cassette toilet container into a bathroom. However, the stench is overwhelming, even when one has used the recommended chemicals and has avoided overloading the system. A friend dumped her cassette system in her home bathroom, and the smell lingered after multiple professional cleanings.
The wait in line is time well spent. ❤️
Wow.. rough. THANK YOU for sharing that
As far as flush toilet I have only dumped it at the storage facility where I store mine when I forgot to do it at home. It wasn't that bad.
Generally I try to dump it asap for that reason. One time I forgot and after a few days of 100°+ weather it wasn't pleasant. Lesson learned!
I love the cargo rack
I love the Cassatt toilet
I love the solar panel
You crack me up Josh! I enjoy watching your presentations, you make it fun. Have a great day.
Thanks, you too!
We had a popup for 9 years. It had the cassette toilet, we only used it for #1 and never had a problem dumping it into the toilet at the campground. I’ve even dumped it in the toilet at home.
TY
we had a cassette in our Northstar 850 sc truck camper.we dumped it in toilets,outhouses. and our house cleanout a couple times but never had to use a sani dump,with absolutely no issues whatsoever.the absolute best thing about them is none of that single ply quick dissolve poo tickets nonsense.strictly 10 ply. and lots of holding tank deodorizser.it also has a full tank warning light.
TY Sir! Appreciate the insights from an owner :)
Didn't buy one like this. I purchased a 2010 Coleman Evolution E4. It has what we need. Full bath, stove, 3 way fridge and a way to tote anything on the 6 ft of space on the front deck. We looked for a "toy hauler" to be able to take a golf cart because of the hubby's knees. This is perfect for us.
Love all your quips and chatter. Will the needed info tossed in.
Hahaha
I do learn and fun to listen.
Good job
😊
Our first trailer was a used StarCraft pop up. The family memories with the kids when they were little ones are irreplaceable. Nothing wrong with a pop up.
I love seeing so many people share stories like this! TY :)
Well that cassette toilet looks a lot more comfortable and private than the 5 gallon tin bucket with a 2x2 piece of plywood that had a hole cut into it that was in the pop up trailer that my step grandpa built. My dad borrowed it for a vacation when I was four and took us from Winnipeg to Banff, up to Jasper and back to Winnipeg. Almost 53 years later and I still love camping and have very fond memories of that trip!!!
Some of my best memories or with my family and our basic little camper growing up at the local place basically dry camping. We would break a branch off the bushes behind our site and use those for s’more sticks
WOW awesome just the right pop up to take to the river. Let the fishing begin. Thanks
You got that right!
On those cassette toilets there is a product called the americanizer that adapts the dump spout to connect to a standard rv sewer hose. So if you are someone who doesn't want to see your waste or is worried about trying to free pour poop water into an rv dump pipe there is an option for that.
That's cool! TY for sharing!
We love everything about this, that we purchased one! We ran into a little bit of a problem with our solar... We are not solar savey we stored the trailer in our garage being we live in the Arizona heat and depleted all energy... Now we are trying to recharge our 2 batteries and are at a lost! I have search and unable to find answers, not sure is solar was the way to go :(
What you’re experiencing has nothing to do with solar. Batteries always have a rate of depletion
If the panels were open to the sun, then they would’ve kept the batteries tended
But if you totally drain a battery it never comes back to full and often can go to pot quickly
@@JoshtheRVNerd How is the best way to check the batteries, it safe to charge with a power source. What are your suggestions for us to go forward?
Love the ember next to it.
Oh THIS old thing? bit.ly/3MawdRo
"Wait, there's more: You can duke it up on the throne all while doing the dishes, cooking dinner and making up the bed. It's a dual purpose, multi-functional, all American dream liner of a pop-up camper."
Pop-ups have always, in one way or another, been a part of my early years growing up. Good memories from childhood in pop-up campers and small campers. Don't trust the snow load rating on the older ones, I know from experience. Still a fun hunting trip though. LoL.
Did the roof cave in or something?
@@JoshtheRVNerd the hard-top caved in leaving us bundled up in the end beds tightly wrapped in a warming blanket of canvas and screen materials. Never slept better while hunting. LoL
@@spiderthenimble holy crap lol
The funnest, most enjoyable camping we ever did was as a young married couple with a Coleman pop-up. Towed everywhere with a Chrysler Lebaron! Shout-out to the "Pop-Up Pioneers" camping club in Jacksonville, FL! Hope the club is still around and still having a blast!
You know it would be cool? If somebody else from that group saw this
@@JoshtheRVNerd I'd love to find them, but that was over 25 years ago... Good times, but long ago. Nice to reminisce though!
Nice camper, glad to see it has a curtain for the toilet. It sucks to get old, but you still have a few years before you have to worry about it.
Cassette toilets are awesome. Easy to work. If dumping station is busy. Just take it home and dump in house toilet. Ours never smells. We throw 1 citrus pod in on every weekend camping trip. Easy to use in a dumping station in a RV sight. We have done cassette toilets for years no problem. I watch friends with travel trailer hoses and it looks alot harder in my book.
We just upgraded our pop up for a hardside. This is the exact layout we had, ours was an '07
Yeah it's funny how popups haven't really changed much in like.. a lifetime lol :)
I like it. I’d camp in it.
That is a real nice "tent upgrade" or single person / close couple pop up. It has just enough of what you need to stay inside for a comfy sleep, or pass a rainy day.
(Have you guys ever had a motorcycle pop up? Those are a real neat thing to see... An "I just want a bed and spot to sit and eat and stay dry" deal).
I've seen one but it's been a spell. Don't believe I ever had a chance to make a video on one.
I hope Bish's RV, uses your videos as training for their salesmen. I'd be real comfortable buying an RV from a salesman with your demeanor and honesty.
Wow. Thank you for that kind remark! I'll pass that along :)
If you can, I’d like to see a video of one of the Viking/clipper pop ups that only pop up from the back. From what I can see they offer great off road and off grid capability.
They had ONE at this store but it was in, sold, and gone before I could even get to it. Like literally the same day. Crazy.
I'll watch for them, though.
@@JoshtheRVNerd so do you guys actually carry Coachmen/Viking popups or just the Express models?
@@stevemiller4789 I believe we may have some at some of our locations but I can’t keep it all straight and would have to check some spreadsheet somewhere. You could probably just search our website real quick for pop-ups are folding campers or whatever they’re called on there
Love love love the pop up's... So many memories from my childhood came from family camping in a pop up... And well, we did not have any bathroom in ours!!! Hell, we didn't have a fridge either, lol... Nice looking unit right there Josh...
When I first started in this business is one of the last year that things like microwaves were actually optional in a lot of campers. Kind of funny how things have changed since then
Very nice! We obviously love pop-ups. 😄 We don't even roll up the foam mattress toppers. It closes fine with 2". My 11 year old is really appreciating all your bathroom humor. 😂 We love how our high wall actually has bathroom "walls." A little more audio privacy and actual privacy.
That changed to the bathroom curtain instead of the wall seems to be the one consistent bit of feedback folks are not happy with on these. I totally get it
@@JoshtheRVNerd ours is a Fleetwood. Until recently, it sported the lovely 2000's decor but has now been personalized. 🤩
I would buy an rv off this guy, just so I could listen to him talk about it!
😂
We have this exact trailer. I have dumped the cassette in pit toilets many times. If you are careful, you can dump it in a flush toilet without making a mess. I get it ready, hit the flush and just keep dumping.
Most of the time I dump it into the cleanout on the side of my house, with the garden hose nearby to rinse a few times so it is ready to go when you need to... Go🙄
TY for that info. There's a world of camping out there. I won't pretend to know all of it. Appreciate the knowledge sharing :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd we get SO much knowledge from you it is the LEAST I can do. We hope you get your hands on some ORV models. That is probably our next leap...
@@tommyd1963ify Got my hands on a few of their Northwood cousins recently. Here's one to wet your whistle! :)
bit.ly/3tOTi3U
1:28 lmao…
Sold!
Forgot I did that. Clicked the link and almost spit my drink onto my laptop
@@JoshtheRVNerd Do you sell to the eastcoast?
@@eviltango of course! we can ship them all over
I generally don't like cassette toilet inside the RV. I use a privacy tent outside with a portable toilet to keep the smell out. I wish this was just an option and I can use the space for storage. Also, would love to have a beefier axle or suspension to qualify as extreme sports
Can you put the solid steps in this camper ? Or any pop ups for that matter ?
Not one this size - rooftop wouldn’t clear
They would need to be removable basically
I've always been fascinated with tent campers. I've never stayed in one though. This one is super functional!! That cassette toilet is awesome!!! You can technically dump those in the toilet yes but, it depends on where you do it. If it's a city toilet, it wouldn't cause issue if you dump fast enough. If it's a septic system, it may be frowned upon because it can fill and tax the system quickly compared to moderate usage. :) Great video Josh!! #SorryNotSorry for the convenience hahaha
So.. I'm a HEAVY sleeper. Once I go out I am dead to the world. But I am EASILY audio-triggered. The lack of sound deadening in one of these would be problematic for me.
TY for the toilet info
@@JoshtheRVNerd Hahahaha That's always been my main concern also plus, it's really just an expensive tent hahaha let's be honest. They are certainly cool because at least it gets you off the ground but, once you sleep in an RV, you can't go back to a tent haha
No footage of the power lift????
Not this time around
Josh, Hi! I had a question, This model- can I have the shower/bathroom removed? I seen on the model website from the manufacture it was optional. I dont like the toilet being on the inside and would prefer that spot empty, but we as a family of 5 need the space for sleeping. Any recommendations on what to do about having one without it? or do you sell them with the toilet area and just not being used?
Not from the factory I’m afraid
Josh, big fan of your videos from up here in Southern Ontario. Love that you've got all these new toys to show everyone. Would love to see your take on a new RockStaff (lol) hybrid! Keep up the great work, and congratulations on your continued success. Well deserved.
"Rockstaff" or "Flagwood"
What say you? :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd lol can't go wrong with either, but id lean more toward RockStaff.
We just bought a 2021 Flagstaff Shamrock 19 - first trailer, lifelong tent campers - have seen some of your older videos from Hayletts days on Rockwood Roo 19s, helped us decide on this particular model for "our second trailer the first time".
Again, keep the grest videos coming, but don't burn yourself out either! If some Bish people are reading these, get this man an extra set of hands!
We always look forward to your uploads, and I practically spit out my coffee after the "I don't want none unless you got buns hon" opener on one of your minilite videos. Lol. Keep em coming, and I'll be sure to comment more often. Cheers to you, and Happy St. Patty's Day! Camping season is around the corner!
I would dump the cassette in the park bath house toilet or my home toilet.
My old Coleman had 2 king beds, slide, and potty. It didn't have power lift, ac, or roof fan.
I'm telling you.. that power lift is nice after cranking for years
Have you done a video on the ember trailer beside it yet?
Yep yep!! th-cam.com/video/AOy3s5STwXE/w-d-xo.html
How are these pop up campers at the beach?
Good question. I don’t have any personal experience with them there. Hopefully another viewer can offer some insights
Would be cool if this company made one pull out bed. For singles and couples.
How about tear drops/ off road campers, please. I want to go off grid for Two weeks at a time.
I have a whole wild variety of things coming! :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd I hope Rpods And No Boundaries are coming up.
@@donna8243 I don't have any on file YET but they're 100% on the docket.
Pop-ups sure have come a long way since my 70 something Starcraft
Man I can't even believe how the industry looks as a whole now vs. when I started in 2009...
Hey Josh, I really enjoy your videos even though I could never buy an RV from you, the import duty to Australia would be a bit much lol. I commented a couple of years ago and you were kind enough to reply. I said at that time that I would love to get an RV one day. Well that one day came...with all the limits on International travel over the past two years we bit the bullet and bought a pre loved RV and have been loving getting out and about. We have still been a bit limited in the travel we could do even within our own country with border lockdowns but that is all in the past and everything is opening up and we venture further and further at each opportunity. Anyway, to the point of my comment, here in Australia we only really have the option of cassette toilets. The infrastructure in RV parks (we call them Caravan Parks) has always been geared towards people using on site amenities and it's really only been a relatively recent addition to most Caravan Parks to have a "dump point" for people to empty their cassette toilets. There are very few RV's on the Australian market that have black tanks, and in fact even grey tanks are a rarity although becoming a little bit more common over the past couple of years. In respect of using and emptying the cassette, it was one of the things that I was wary of when I got my 'van but it hasn't been the ordeal that I had anticipated. We only use ours for liquid waste though and I find using the recommended chemicals and not letting it get past 1/2 to 3/4's full presents no problems with odors. I have even emptied the cassette into a domestic toilet with no issues at all, however this could be because the standard Aussie toilet has way less water in the bowl and can take a lot of liquid before it would overflow so we can just dump it all in. Sorry for the long post but thought it might be interesting for some to hear how we "do it down under" :)
Man thank you for sharing your experience with this silly Yank today :)
Appreciate it greatly!
I've never looked much at caravans outside of the US market. Didn't realize even grey tanks were so uncommon!
Josh! I found you ❤️! You dissappeared from my phone when you actually shifted Co's. I finally had time to look for you. Cute pop up, but not for me at my age. I prefer a more glamp type camper lol.
Wondered where you went! I'm still here :)
Man, I wish they would nix the dinette on at least one pop up model. Much better to have a sofa with maybe a narrow folding table and some more storage where the dinette is. I NEVER use the dinette in my Mini Lite and I want to get a pop up so I can store it in my garage.
I cant remember the last time I saw ANY significant "advancements" in popups. A sofa swaption here and there WOULD be nice
Josh: Respectfully NO!
Wife and I started camping in a pop-up in 1970.We were 20 years old (you do the math). We’ve owned two of them. The lift cables break, the lift motors quit working, the bed slides stick and don’t go in evenly on both sides of a bed and when it rains, you have to set down wet and then hope you can later find a someplace dry to setup and dry out the canvas. One Kansas night in July 1972 it was 80 degrees and wind was blowing 35 mph. That’s a no sleep night memory I’d gladly not repeat. As to the cassette, dump station ONLY. There’s flush water there for rinsing. the holding tank. Usually the in-drain is below grade so if there’s a spill material will still flow into the septic. AND please dump EVERY DAY. Don’t wait days for the cassette to “fill up”. If you do, you’ll quickly learn not to make the same mistake twice. The day +1 or +2 or +3 stench will make another memory you’ll not want to have. Respectfully, W.S.
I bow to your wisdom on this sir. Thank you
I loved my Rockwood 282TESP with the large front rack. I carried my Ural sidecar up front. I just got older and tired up setup when I got to the site. Though setup was quick. I upgraded to a small toy hauler.
You mentioned the larger beds. I actually wished it had come with a queen and a full. IMO king beds are too big for a pop up.
I gotta say though, this is a great starter camper.
I used to kind of scoff at people who wanted kings. Then, we got a SMALL dog who somehow occupies HUGE areas of the bed. Suddenly that king bed became awfully nice!
Though My dog barks too much at everything to take him camping I know a lot of folks keep their four legged furry friends with them always
I can see the value in this RV if you want something that really is light and tows easily. Also neat that you can store it in a garage.
It would be interesting to see the setup that is involved with this trailer once you get to the campsite.
That whole bathroom/toilet situation looks like a complete pita. If the trailer had a hitch, the Bumper Dumper may be a better choice, but it would be difficult to use with the bed out and set up.
From my experience: Of every 10 of these popups with bathrooms I've seen sold MAYBE 1 has had the toilet actually used. A lot of people want them for the peace of mind but don't end up using the potty
@@JoshtheRVNerd That makes sense. Unless you are traveling solo, there just doesn't seem to be enough isolation between the "bathroom" and the rest of the coach.
If you get a chance could you do the Rockwood Roo 21ss? Keep up the great work!
If I can get my hands on one: Sure thing!
I think we have a 235S here in Michigan at my home store I can get recorded at least.
Which bish dealer ship is this
This was recorded in Salt Lake City
Dumping in a toilet left a bad stench when I did it once. Never did it again.
I've heard that from a few folks as well
6:16 Did you just suggest I store my phone in the baby hammock? The babies gonna drool on it Josh🤣
Oh great.. ANOTHER baby hammock enthusiast LOLOL
You also shouldn't use turtles as wheel chocks. They'll crawl away and leave the RV unstable.
That was filmed at the Salt Lake store. I know there are pop ups with tandem axels. Other than towing nicer any advantages?
That's it. Towing comfort/peace of mind
And good eye! :)
Love my popup...
But looking for a hybrid. What do you have?
Something I just discovered... our website SOMEHOW lacks an option to search ONLY hybrid campers. So I weirdly don't have an easy answer for you.. which I think is kind of dumb and I'm going to see about getting that changed
FOR NOW.. bit.ly/3CB0xQW and bit.ly/3I42mad will give you a few options at least though we CERTAINLY have more
If I would have seen this I may have purchased something like this instead of my Keystone 290BHS. I saw really nice pop up’s before buying the trailer but they were $20,000. Price gap between the two options when you want a luxury pop us is small compared to a larger rv/trailer sometimes.
It really is crazy sometimes what you can get in a smaller enclosed trailer
I'm assuming it doesn't have an AC unit, but if someone cared enough, a portable unit would probably do alright. With that, it'd have it all.
Also, I kinda like how the tent material is broken down by sections, which is great for repairs.
As an aside, I'd kinda almost think this floorplan could also work on a popup model without the popout beds, maybe for a solo camper who wants a more compact camper that's a tad lighter and overall a bit easier to setup
No A/C standard but it's available for sure.
CRAZY You mentioned "no pop out beds!"
I've been BEGGING someone to make something like the A213HW A-Frame model but with a straight pop-up roof instead of hardsides!!
Darling Josh , is this a dream come true ? A COMMODE in middle of the room ? OMG I'd be able to share the sounds & smells coming from there😂 then get in the bed to see if we can tilt it . 🚽💥💥🙋
Go on friend. Love your best life
Is there cable hook up?
There is. It comes out under the dinette. We put our TV on the table and sit on the couch. Only for Supercross! 🤟
@@tommyd1963ify Thank You tommyd1963ify.
Thanks for the assist!
What's the price for a unit like this, and can it be air-conditioned, thank you
If in stock, then Rockwood pricing may be found at bit.ly/34fR84u
and Flagstaff may be found at bit.ly/3wfXxsf
*A/C is an available option as well!*
Wow, a cassette toilet?! That'd be an awesome upgrade from our 8 track toilet! Maybe with our next camper after that we could move into something toilet TV certified!
Love the mountains in the background, where was this video taken?
Thanks for making entertaining and informative videos, even for popups!
Better than a 45 toilet I guess. That crap just keeps coming around
Video from our Salt Lake store. The area is beautiful
@@JoshtheRVNerd I'd tell you to cut the crap, but I don't know which saw or knife is appropriate.
@@Brigand231 I prefer unflavored Floss.
Peeps or a poops 😂
😉
Hi Josh! I have a towing question. I noticed the unloaded weight on this 228BHSE is 2635 lbs. My mid-size truck has a towing capacity of 5000 lbs. would you recommend anti-sway bars for towing this unit, or should it tow pretty true, since there isn't going to be tremendous amount of wind resistance?
Typically if you need those on a popup, then you shouldn’t be towing it
Thanks Josh! That's kinda what I thought, but I'm a firm believer that a question not asked, could mean not getting an answer you really need!
Note: Some Parks private and national do not allow soft sides for bear reasons.
Absolutely. Same with hybrids for the same reason
Very few actually, that is a common myth. 😊 This summer, we will be all over the wild west. I believe there are 2 campground what do not allow tents or pop-ups, we just didn't book those ones.
@@AdventuresinPopUps It cannot be a myth if it actually happens.
@@slamboy66 It is very rare, yet people bring it up as a reason not to buy pop-ups very often. People post similar questions on groups fairly regularly. We have never run into a problem, and many people safely enjoy bear country camping in their pop-up. 😊
How long is the floor expected to last for.
I'm not sure there's a specific answer to this. Depends on a lot of factors. If you see my factory tour, then you'll see the entire thing is dipped in an anti-wicking coating to help extend its lifespan.
Wetter climates and road spray when raining will definitely cause it to age more quickly. Someone who mostly keeps it in their garage won't have near the concern.
“Sh$tt$r was full!”
I love pop-up campers, but the website’s call for price on all of these models really scares me😳
Rockwood hasn’t been making many of these so it’s possible they’re more recent arrivals. Typically Bish’s has pricing and discounts listed for inventory but I don’t control that on our site now. It’s up to each store individually
