The interior of this one… the colors of cabinets, the floor… pretty much all of it, LOVE IT! No need for bunks but if that was all kitchen counter down that side. 🎉❤
Jayco is stepping up in layouts and colors. I wish they would change some important factors, like plumbing, etc. The small wall table is so much better than a dinette. It's actually a useable space for everyone, doesn't waste space, and looks nice. It allows for far more movement inside. I like that the kitchen is still fully accessible during transit. In a small rv, ducted ac isn't a huge deal with good fans. This is a good contender.
You can find clear cases with a cover that mount on the wall to cover the buttons. We had to do it with our 1st rv. Some genius thought it was a good idea to uses the same switch for the awning that went right by the light switch and a kid hit the button just enough that I couldn't tell it was out a tiny bit and we lost our awning on a drive. It was out enough to catch wind on the highway but not enough to notice on a walk around.
Really really like the bar/desk and that camp side window. A normal kitchen sink in a no bunk/no slide version would have me seriously considering a purchase.
OK, here goes... This new series looks like it has plenty of potential. I’m not big on bunk beds, so I look forward to seeing other configurations yet to come (without them). Wouldn’t mind a model that got a bit more space in the bathroom by replacing those bunks with something that doesn’t use the entire area. The “individual eating tables” (TV trays) caught my attention immediately! Yippee! I’ve never seen it done that way, and have been wishing someone would. I would think it would be much more convenient than the typical single shared/swinging table at a dine-ofa. Probably doesn’t hurt that my family often ate on TV trays in the living room (while literally watching TV) when I was a kiddo. I also very much like the dining bar with stools. Nice both as a dining area as well as a potential work desk. The huge window in front of it is quite a bonus. Here’s a thought: what if the stools had a back for more comfort and better ergonomics? Humans tend to slouch if they don’t have that. Ouch. It could be a fold-down back support, so as to still fit under the bar. Just a thought… Sliding drawers by the Murphy bed - those are pretty darned cool! Love that the road mode is essentially fully functional! Not a fan of slides to begin with, but if they are necessary, this is the least objectionable way to employ them (IMHO). Hey, if the bunks are removed, could the sink area be straightened out into that space, making it more accessible in road mode? And then, maybe just add some sort of extra storage in that back corner? BTW, I like having the freezer on the bottom of the fridge. Big fan of the Solid Steps, as I really need that stability and the large grab handle. Overall, I am quite impressed and can’t wait to see the next iteration!
I love the dining bar for couples. Not so much for families. Our first night in our camper I was questioning if moving from a tent to camper was the right move. It was a cold night so we went inside and played board games for a couple hours. That was the higlight for all of us on the trip.
Really like the colors. The breakfast bar is a great idea, and appreciate the lift-up top with the shallow storage underneath. What a perfect place to store a laptop and all the other little pieces and bits that can clutter a camper.
I saw this model on another channel and for those wondering the TV trays store in the slot under the sofa above the drawers. If I had the vehicle to tow it this would definitely be one of my top choices for a possible purchase. My biggest issue is that short queen, but that’s pretty common in sizes that I would be able to get right now.
Love this floor plan! I’ve been eyeing the GD Aim 18BH. I feel Jayco has done it better. The main cabinet is better with the four drawers beneath (GD has interior drawers but the cabinet door has to open in order to get to them). Also, I like the second cabinet under the bar top. I can see that being my kids’ toy cabinet or a nice place for appliances. The real improvement is the bathroom. An extra foot in length gives you a vanity, upper cabinet and bathroom sink. I assume the shower would be a hair longer as well. This one is road mode friendly whereas GD Murphy bed does not fold down with slide in. Big points for Jayco there. Thanks for the vid, Josh! I’ve been waiting for the full tour of this one to come out! I love Myles and the work he does as well. Not competitors in my mind because I watch you both and think both of your content is fantastic!!!!
This is the new series of camper that I wanted to see you tour. I love the idea of that counter with stools as I am not a fan of camper dinettes. I love the floor space, the orientation of the kitchen and the colour scheme that they have used. I wish that this wasn’t the bunk model because they don’t interest me at all. I’m not a fan of the Murphy bed but could be swayed to buy a model with one, and just leave it in the down position. I think the Air floor plan that I was interested in seeing, has the bathroom occupying the entire back half of the trailer: it looked very spacious. Thank you, Josh!
When I saw the floorplan I automatically thought ew but then I watched further and thought nice! I like the flip top bar. Extra storage wherever you can find it is always a plus. I'd use it for a small stash of office supplies and to tuck away a variety of card games, etc. Bathroom is nice but I'd really like to see those sharp corners rounded off. I'm not the most graceful person and see a lot of pain in my future from that one in particular.
I love the tv trays. Especially when paired with the dining bar rather than a full dinette, it’s an awesome way to handle eating, etc. So much easier/better than a table, whether mounted or whatever. I really like the sliding drawers by the bed, cool idea. 💡I like the flip up counter. Not sure exactly how I’d use it, but I’m sure I’d come up with something useful.
Josh, I love your videos and all of the information you give. You have been educating my husband and I for awhile now. I would love to see this camper without the bunks!!! Thanks
Jayco doing Grand Design better than Grand Design. Jayco clearly understands that smaller doesn't have to mean worse. They are offering the same features as Jay Feather such as: stabilizers, bigger fan, slam latch, etc. GD even removes One of its best features from the AIM series, anti lock brakes. Hats off Jayco! #nerdherd
This is a great looking trailer... camp side seating is my fav as are bunkhouses! Both Furnace and Hot Water heater on the off side makes it even better! Hope you eventually got some rest after all that taping.. but on the good side you have plenty of source footage! Nerd Herd in NY saying "Happy Camping"!
Thanks for the videos. +++ Pet friendly. Our 'kids' have four legs. Not fond of the bunk house models. For us (a couple plus two dogs - and maybe +1 human) that is wasted living space. Looking forward to upcoming non-bunky plans. I wish all vendors had view cameras and dual solar panels as standard . Love the eat-at bar and window on this model. Ok with the storage underneath (all storage space is good space). + to the couch tables. Also agree with the comment that microwave should be micro/convection as standard.
Nixing the camp side bedside window and adding coat hooks is the best innovation here. I like the tray tables too. I hope the stools are sturdy enough for regular adult use. It'd be great if the bottom bunk could flip up. Would love to see more manufacturers offer more flexibility in BH designs.
I agree, definitely A+ Cracker Barrel compliant. Nice little first time camper or weekend fishing camper. For the price I would’ve liked to have seen a rear bumper and the spare tire mounted to it instead of underneath the camper. Manufactures, PLEASE, be considerate to your older buyers and quit putting the spares under the campers; as it gets harder and harder to crawl underneath as we get older. Overall nice camper.
I'm So excited about this. Love it!! I do not like those stools. I like back support but it would be very easy to get just two larger high back stools. I prefer a dinette but this is fine I love the space. I don't feel the 199 has enough storage but this does!! And it's pet friendly. Just about Perfect!!! Except... Sink is way too small. I don't like TV trays I think they're tacky looking and cheap looking but that's just a personal thing. I love this!! And I actually like the Murphy bed and I normally don't It's too bad they don't have that front windshield type Murphy bed. It looks really kind of plain. Love the drawers. This is my new favorite. I just bought a truck with 7,000 lb max weight. I wonder if this would work Love this!!
Can you imagine it? Get it? Like this floor plan. Love the huge door side window. The blue light be hind the bed are not good. The kitchen is better than most singe xles campers. Like the storage. I would get the moldel with out bunks. Do they have one? The bathroom is good. Wish they had a Xl vet fan in the bath room. Like it! Thank you josh!
I wish someone would make something like this with a ramp/cargo space capable of taking a 450lb midweight ADV touring bike or a couple of full sized E-bikes
I was really surprised that the microwave wasn’t also a convection oven. That’s a rarity these days when there’s no oven. This is an awesome small unit. Pre-RV years I would’ve jumped at this but, thanks to your teachings, I’d now be a bit neurotic about a possible blowout and would choose a 2 axle unit. Never mind that in over half a century I’ve never experienced said blowout. 🙃 There are several neat little features that really add to the camping experience. As for the counter that flips up underneath the nice front window, I don’t know why you wouldn’t want the flip up. It could be for a deck of cards, a dog leash, things you want to keep more secure or out of view. I mean, why not? I always like a Murphy that does not show bed linens when it’s up. This one, however, does. This feature must be difficult to engineer, difficult to execute, or add too much weight since so many fail at this. Even in units closer to $200k half or more flunk Murphy Beds. I think it was a Rockwood trailer I saw that nailed this beautifully.
Thanks Nerd! The flip-up bar/desk is not needed. It is a cute use of space to make drawer-like space. Not worth the squeeze to me though. Black-eyed Peas Pink eye 😆? You are wonderful, Josh!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd - Thanks, I am aware of them, but love cold weather camping. Embers are engineered to only allow 20 pound propane tanks. And I don’t mind Murphy Beds at all, I just don’t want to glaringly see it when it’s up. LOL!
I really like the move towards the desk style bar tables. It takes up less space and does the job. I like it overall, but I still wish these guys would bump up the suspension. We need beast mode. I also would prefer it without the bunks or a way to make it storage that we can get to from outside.
I have never claimed to be the only guy with something to say about an rv and I’m certainly no authority either For the money these things demand someone SHOULD seek multiple points of view My goals as always is to be as fair as possible for a customer’s benefit
I think the only flaw is that the TV can't face the bunks ( or at least it didn't look like it ). Given the limited seating space, at night or rainy day, the kids would probably be hanging in the bunks. If you could face the TV that way, it gives them some entertainment. The TV facing the couch seems less useful in the bunk model.
Love your videos!! Thank you for your hard work. You can probably get someone to help you, unless you like doing everything by yourself. Only problem I see is the bunks getting hot. I would like to see some fans put in there, that is across the board.
I'd be interested to see the no bunk version of this. Slap dual axles on there for some more cargo, extend the kitchen, and make it a rear bath model. I feel like I'd rather have a permanent bed at that point but I dunno. Obviously that all would take it to another weight class and this one is definitely going for a lightweight selling point, I just don't like single axle rigs personally. Otherwise it's a cool idea and if I wanted bunks, this would be a good contender
Bed goblin union intensifies... In all seriousness, though, this is a cool little camper. We can see ourselves thriving in this one. The slide almost isn't necessary in my opinion, but the extra space is nice to have. Is there a similar non-bunk floorplan with a large rear bath? Thanks for the tour, Uncle Josh!
My only thought is about the open shelving that they are using in several rvs. This one has the netting under the bar but in the bathroom there isn't any. How do you keep things from falling out while on the road in those without the netting? I have had the toilet paper rolls and rolled towels get jostled out of mine while on the interstate. Love this layout. Perfect for taking our grandson with us on occasion.
Hopefully they'll do something similar, but without the princess queen bed (I think I may attempt to copyright that :)) Also, my wife and I play games a lot, so a small, stand alone table with two real chairs instead of the dining bar would be nice. Great bathroom for a small RV.
Hello Uncle Josh 👋😀, you're looking mighty nice today, keep it up my friend, the look is very becoming on you! 🤗 🤗 🤗 I have one question, why is it that ALL RV manufacturers INSIST on having that hanging closet at the headboard?? I would RATHER have windows! That is a real bug-a-boo for us. 🤬😡 😠
@@JoshtheRVNerd I appreciate you Uncle Josh ❤️. You make the BEST videos that I have ever seen, that camera is really your friend, CONGRATULATIONS Uncle Josh!! 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 Take care Uncle Josh ❤️. Please give your family my love 💓 ❤️. Your friend, Didi, 😃🖐💓❤️💙🌹
Probably a less expensive substitute for the Ember 190MLS. Sacrifices here and there in a comparison with the Ember, but a decision basically is: Do you plan on any mild off-road excursions or not. Strong competition for the F-150 I just bought to tow a 2-person travel trailer with these features.
Love the breakfast bar, my question is since it folds down can you put your weight on it to help stand up? I don't mind a murphy bendy bed, would prefer the semi recliner with the murphy. Kool bed drawers. Not a high point on that kitchen, to tiny of a sink, don't like front to back burners l prefer side by side, i'd give up that tiny counter space. Love all the big drawers. Don't need the bunks so id proably use it for my kitty up above and doggie in the lower bunk. The bathroom is just ok. Like the pass thru storage. Do prefer duaal axles. I like 30lb propane tanks and at least 2 deep cycle marine batteries. Electric jack. Its a nice little camper.
Love the murphy bed sofa and breakfast bar combo in place of an outdated diner booth dinette👍but Jayco needs to step up and start replacing their signature cheap plastic toilets☹️with a quality porcelain toilet💥🚽💥
I don't think that's enough room for a pot with handles and the spot under the TV would be great for coffee pot, also they should put in reclines. I have seen them in other motor homes and Rv's
I have a bunch of Jayco Jayco walk thrus if you’d like more details there Quick answers Thermofoil Laminated Pocket screwed lumbercore Real wood Plywood Plywood Leaf Spring
So Josh, I have a question. Most RV’s I look online are spec out weight wise are for there standard RV. If you order one with double pain windows, generator and washer/dryer do you get a different weight sticker or do you have to hit the scale right out the parking lot and start doing the math??
@@JoshtheRVNerd I am looking to buy an alliance 380 MP. As soon as interest rates drop to or below 5%😂🤷♂️🙏. You are a god send to the RV world!! And truly believe you are honest. Which is kind of hard to find these days. When the time is right (5%) I just may have to make the trip to see you! Thank again and I will keep watching 👍
He’s a classy guy. Always got along just fine with him I’ve never felt my view of rvs was THE ONLY worth considering. It’s a major purchase. People should absolutely get multiple perspectives where possible
What I find funny about Jayco's R&D (rip off and duplicate) of the Grand Design AIM series is that two of the most blatantly copied floor plans are now showing on GD's site as dealer stock only. I wonder if this line will last longer or shorter than Jayco's R-POD rip off line, the Hummingbird.
Seriously - your videos are like 100% information and 100% entertainment. Love them!
My sister asked me why do I still watch RV videos after I already bought mine and I said because they're fun!
Wow, thank you!
Yes! A breakfast bar instead of a space-hog booth. Someone finally took our suggestion.
Right?!
The interior of this one… the colors of cabinets, the floor… pretty much all of it, LOVE IT! No need for bunks but if that was all kitchen counter down that side. 🎉❤
Glad you like it!
Jayco is stepping up in layouts and colors. I wish they would change some important factors, like plumbing, etc. The small wall table is so much better than a dinette. It's actually a useable space for everyone, doesn't waste space, and looks nice. It allows for far more movement inside. I like that the kitchen is still fully accessible during transit. In a small rv, ducted ac isn't a huge deal with good fans. This is a good contender.
I don't care for the hard sides on the couch. It looks cheap and painful.
You can find clear cases with a cover that mount on the wall to cover the buttons. We had to do it with our 1st rv. Some genius thought it was a good idea to uses the same switch for the awning that went right by the light switch and a kid hit the button just enough that I couldn't tell it was out a tiny bit and we lost our awning on a drive.

They’ll have some no-bunk models too thankfully
Years ago when I stepped into a Jayco mini RV I couldn’t even stand up straight. They’ve come a long way.
Likely one of the old small jay flights. They were only like 6’1” inside
When I saw the floorplan I automatically thought ew but then I watched further and thought nice! I like the flip top bar. Extra storage wherever you can find it is always a plus. I'd use it for a small stash of office supplies and to tuck away a variety of card games, etc. Bathroom is nice but I'd really like to see those sharp corners rounded off.

Love it and the fact there's another line of Jayco campers to check out. I think it's really nice.
Great new design & Floorplan 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍now if I could just get a fixed bed

WOW Jayco has really been listening to the consumer's, really nice layout. Great walkthrough Uncle Josh #NerdHerd
Thx Brian!! The Design of this really is Grand
I'm a fan of this camper! Even though I'm camp dinette.
As a dinette fan could you see this working for you or better for someone else?

It should fit within the trucks limits

Hahahhaa
First line made me snort
This is very similar (if not identical, almost) to my 2023 imagine aim 18bh, which I dearly love!!
It was unapologetically made based on that imagine without question
I wish someone would make something like this with a ramp/cargo space capable of taking a 450lb midweight ADV touring bike or a couple of full sized E-bikes

Obviously that all would take it to another weight class and this one is definitely going for a lightweight selling point, I just don't like single axle rigs personally. Otherwise it's a cool idea and if I wanted bunks, this would be a good contender
Agreed - would love to see this with a big rear bath
Bed goblin union intensifies...
In all seriousness, though, this is a cool little camper. We can see ourselves thriving in this one. The slide almost isn't necessary in my opinion, but the extra space is nice to have. Is there a similar non-bunk floorplan with a large rear bath? Thanks for the tour, Uncle Josh!
I think without the slide it would look blocky and awkward right in front of that bed
My only thought is about the open shelving that they are using in several rvs. This one has the netting under the bar but in the bathroom there isn't any. How do you keep things from falling out while on the road in those without the netting?
I have had the toilet paper rolls and rolled towels get jostled out of mine while on the interstate. Love this layout. Perfect for taking our grandson with us on occasion.
I have the same thought whenever I see open storage actually
Nice Setup! It would be nice if it was double axle and no bunk with a bigger bath and storage... Couples Camper...
They make models like that in their normal jay feather series btw
I love it .
As @danielcouturier6037 said, imagine all kitchen instead of bunks. Or maybe share half and half for bath and kitchen.
It would be amazing
I really like it, it’s like a mobile office with sleeping, I just wish it had tandem axels. Do they have a similar model with tandem axels?
That would revert to something like the pre existing 21MBH jay feather
the 16rb is what I would like to see.
I hope to catch them all.. like pokemon lol
@@JoshtheRVNerd I will keep my eye out for that video! Thanks.
This was the first and only of the new Air models that had physically been built yet. I'll definitely get the others when they're available!
Hopefully they'll do something similar, but without the princess queen bed (I think I may attempt to copyright that :)) Also, my wife and I play games a lot, so a small, stand alone table with two real chairs instead of the dining bar would be nice. Great bathroom for a small RV.
Too late. I’ve already called legal 😆
@@JoshtheRVNerd just be sure to mention your buddy Bert when you use it in a video
lol :)
Hello Uncle Josh 👋😀, you're looking mighty nice today, keep it up my friend, the look is very becoming on you! 🤗 🤗 🤗
I have one question, why is it that ALL RV manufacturers INSIST on having that hanging closet at the headboard??
I would RATHER have windows! That is a real bug-a-boo for us. 🤬😡 😠
Thanks so much! Appreciate you Didi
@@JoshtheRVNerd I appreciate you Uncle Josh ❤️. You make the BEST videos that I have ever seen, that camera is really your friend, CONGRATULATIONS Uncle Josh!! 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗
Take care Uncle Josh ❤️.
Please give your family my love 💓 ❤️.
Your friend,
Didi, 😃🖐💓❤️💙🌹
Beautiful. One of my first thought thoughts was, where are my clothes, coats, and shoes supposed to go in this one?
Yeah this one is a little tricky like that. You have to decide how to use the pantry / closet / ploset space
#RVNerdHerd 🎉 😊 🎉
If this was made longer to close off the bed. It would be a buy.
Some of their existing tandem axle models might serve that purpose for you!
Hey, shalom aleichem and Mazel tov right back you sir. It's okay that I'm probably reading into it but....I still love that your using it!!!!
Toda 😆
Probably a less expensive substitute for the Ember 190MLS. Sacrifices here and there in a comparison with the Ember, but a decision basically is: Do you plan on any mild off-road excursions or not. Strong competition for the F-150 I just bought to tow a 2-person travel trailer with these features.
Yeah that’s really a good way of looking at it
Love the breakfast bar, my question is since it folds down can you put your weight on it to help stand up? I don't mind a murphy bendy bed, would prefer the semi recliner with the murphy. Kool bed drawers. Not a high point on that kitchen, to tiny of a sink, don't like front to back burners l prefer side by side, i'd give up that tiny counter space. Love all the big drawers. Don't need the bunks so id proably use it for my kitty up above and doggie in the lower bunk. The bathroom is just ok. Like the pass thru storage. Do prefer duaal axles. I like 30lb propane tanks and at least 2 deep cycle marine batteries. Electric jack. Its a nice little camper.
Yeah bar is sturdy
Thanks for the walkthrough 👍
No problem 👍
Good video Josh
Thanks!
Love the murphy bed sofa and breakfast bar combo in place of an outdated diner booth dinette👍but Jayco needs to step up and start replacing their signature cheap plastic toilets☹️with a quality porcelain toilet💥🚽💥
👍🏻
I don't think that's enough room for a pot with handles and the spot under the TV would be great for coffee pot, also they should put in reclines. I have seen them in other motor homes and Rv's
Thx Annette
I’m surprised manufacturers are still using the worthless round sinks in the kitchen. That’s a hard pass for me 😕
I like it! Do they make a stick and tin version with no slide and no bunks? 👍
They really don’t but this is the closest I could think of m.th-cam.com/video/sIlcwZVhxjI/w-d-xo.html
Ok, can we do this with a full size farm sink, oven, cook top, and fridge?
Not currently offered but in theory that may be possible if a builder wanted to go that route
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Imagine the R and D that went into this model.
The Design was truly Grand
@@JoshtheRVNerd it both trancends and is reflective of the Jayco lineage. Ok I am done I promise!
Sit in Solitude & reflect on the Influence you're producing!@
👍👍👍👍👍😃
The 80’s called, they want their TV trays back…
lol I love them though

Hi Josh.. What about the materials used for countertops? floors? cabinets? cabinet doors? drawers? Roof? Suspension?
I have a bunch of Jayco Jayco walk thrus if you’d like more details there
Quick answers
Thermofoil
Laminated
Pocket screwed lumbercore
Real wood
Plywood
Plywood
Leaf Spring
@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks Josh.
You don't compete with them, but do other dealership's ever try to scout you? 😆
I’ve had offers. Bish’s genuinely has treated me well and given me no reason to seek other employment
Thanks nerd 🍺 🤓
You bet!
Uncle Josh! You're simply the best my friend! 😊

You're the best!
Thanks Nerd. How long are those bunks? Can a teenager fit ?
Definitely depends on their size. Bunks are nearly standardized to 72-74" across most any brands
Does Jayco have this floor plan with tandem axle?
They do not. I’m not aware of anyone that does
So Josh, I have a question. Most RV’s I look online are spec out weight wise are for there standard RV. If you order one with double pain windows, generator and washer/dryer do you get a different weight sticker or do you have to hit the scale right out the parking lot and start doing the math??
Jayco does actually scale each individual RV yes
@@JoshtheRVNerd I am looking to buy an alliance 380 MP. As soon as interest rates drop to or below 5%😂🤷♂️🙏.
You are a god send to the RV world!! And truly believe you are honest. Which is kind of hard to find these days.
When the time is right (5%) I just may have to make the trip to see you!
Thank again and I will keep watching 👍
Wow ty! I do my best :)
Ya a class act bringing Myle's on 🖖🏻
He’s a classy guy. Always got along just fine with him
I’ve never felt my view of rvs was THE ONLY worth considering. It’s a major purchase. People should absolutely get multiple perspectives where possible
Geo-Pro still best value.
Everyone still chasing them
Does it have the option of "dual axels"?🙏🏻🕯
It does not as it turns out
Do you think they Wii make one with the bunks
This one has bunks
Other layouts won’t
Is there a no bunk model?
There will be yes
have you a video on the new 23rk yet??
Here's my 2024 video th-cam.com/video/iAqQbb_vdpg/w-d-xo.html when that layout debuted
I have 2025 footage captured and working on getting it out
tried to view…said video is private
Josh is a Valley girl 😂
like totally as if
The big campside window is great. Sitting on those back breaking stools enjoying the view is not. 😟
lol fair
I really liked this model until the short queen- that’s a deal breaker. Or, I need a shorter husband. 😂
Wow hahahhaa
What I find funny about Jayco's R&D (rip off and duplicate) of the Grand Design AIM series is that two of the most blatantly copied floor plans are now showing on GD's site as dealer stock only. I wonder if this line will last longer or shorter than Jayco's R-POD rip off line, the Hummingbird.
Lolol I’ve seen this happen so many times from rv brands
Too heavy for the 5000 lb tow limit market.
Agreed
Nope can't do the slide!
I would prefer double axle. The single is a major drawback.
Try this one m.th-cam.com/video/GhmjjYP-yJM/w-d-xo.html
@JoshtheRVNerd that's nice, but I have kids that require me taking them with me. 😆 🤣
overrated lol :)
DON’T like the too small sink in kitchen
What size would you prefer?
Single axle. Nope
