Have a 2019 2506s and am sure glad to see the new layout! Only two things I see that could be improved on. Number one is why is the tv so high? and number two is there is still a lack of hanging storage. Otherwise, I wish I could exchange my 2019 for this!
Thank you for doing an in-depth review on this one! I’ve been patiently wait for someone to cover this model! I think I’m sold on this one! My only concern is the hitch weight. It seems a little hitch heavy for my 2020 Tundra, but since it’s well within the overall capacities of every other spec, I think I’d be safe with a good weight distribution hitch and airbags. The G2 Tundra was built to tow, they just didn’t put heavy enough leaf springs on that beefy rear axle. 😅
Hi, I am curious to know if during business hours you have all of your rv's open so that we can just freely walk around and go in and out to look at them. I like to look without sales pressure, no offense.
I get it. I am not a fan of the salesperson breathing down your neck. We’re probably the lowest pressure sales operation in the state. On Saturdays we open everything. Weekdays we open the 10 units in the front lot.
The 2517S has too much counter space! Who needs all that real estate in a trailer--Emeril Lagasse maybe? Such a long/heavy trailer and yet still not a true queen? Would really like to see this floorplan but with a murphy bed (so we can have a decent comfortable seating area in addition to that nice U-shape dinette) instead of a fixed bed. Oh, and keep the tandem axle and keep it under 6,000# total weight too. Thanks for the video; keep up the great work--it's appreciated!
Had a blowout on the highway, and tandem axles and independent torsion suspension saved us! The ride was so smooth even with the blown tire that MILES down the road fellow travelers on the highway had to tell us I always get the tandem axles! What would have happened to a single axle if a tire blew?
@@anitariley2681, yeah, tandem axles are a non-negotiable. I'm leaning toward making Dexter torsion (or better, ie Curt, although that's overkill for us) a non-negotiable as well, but not quite there yet as 95% of the travel trailers seem to come with leafs, including several brands that I hold in very high regard.
You didn’t mention if this model has the balancing beads in the tires. I believe the Flagstaff sister equivalent RV to this one comes with the beads for the 2025 year. Do you happen to know if the balancing beads come with this model? Also, I was told by a Flagstaff rep that you can have up to 600 W Solar total on the roof and add another 400 W for solar input on the side of the unit. Is this true?
Yes, the balancing beads are on this model. The standard build has a 200W Solar Panel. There’s an option for a 2nd 200W panel. Beyond that, additional panels are added on a case by case basis. Adding a third panel should be no issue on a 25’ Mini like this one, but it is classified as a “special build” and may come with some additional cost. I will have to defer to the Flagstaff rep when it comes to the capacity of the side solar. These reps know their stuff.
I think that's too big for my truck I only have an explorer with 6500 gw but I can get another truck. I'm going to be down in the morning and just take a look at what's going on there and what else you have

Thanks Dave, it would be fun to see this one.. hope all is well. Paul
how would you compare to Winnebago brand similar unit ?

@@RousseausRVWalkthroughs awesome we will have to stop in to look then. Thank you
