- Today we looked at what I believe to be the smallest 5th wheel. It's only 27'(Oops 31'). It's the Cruiser Aire 27MK. Absolutely perfect for a young couple or even retired couple who doesn't want a 20,000LBS Monster to deal with as well s a HUGE price tag. If you want more info on this Cruiser Aire 27MK 5th wheel, Please call La Mesa RV in Port St Lucie Fl. Ask for Kevin and make sure you tell him "The Tall Man sent you" :) La Mesa RV: 772-293-6750

Nice appointments. Closet could be a BIT bigger.but us Ladies do need our clothes. 😆
I'd take a dishwasher over the wine fridge. 🤣 😂
I understand that and Lisa and I also agree we would rather have the dishwasher over the wine fridge :) Thanks for the input @B J Wieland-Doucet
WOW. Thats less expensive than a lot of travel trailers and it doesn't look "Cheap". Great find Tall Man
That's exactly what we thought. We paid almost that much for our current Transcend.
As long as the roof doesn't leak.
And now the used cost more than that new price.
Crazy, isnt it.
It's nice. I'd rather have a table than the booth if it were just for me and spouse.
That would be more versatile for sure. :)
This thing looks legit for the price.
We think so :)
THANK YOU.
THAT WAS GREAT
THANK YOU.
Thanks Pete. You're Welcome :)
A lot of people really get into these new RVs. I have a 1998 Wildwood fifth wheel 27 and a half feet long. The cupboard and storage space in mine out does this new rig my leaps and bounds. I have drawers I have coverage my Wildwood is just loaded with storage space. In this new rig I didn't see a silverware drawer. The wine fridge just a waste of space. Several drawers could have been put there. And the wardrobe and my Wildwood puts this thing to shame. I honestly think if some of these manufacturers would pull out some of their old plans and reproduce these trailers then you would really have something. This new fifth wheel it's a sad case as far as storage goes.
We had an older Prowler once that had the best storage as well. We understand :)
Good for you
How many years did they build your style with all the storage?
I love it. I'm just partial to a bedroom slide out. I really like that closet too.
Being tall myself, I also love the bed on a slide
Awesome!!!
Thanks Richard
It's nice to finally see a guy as tall as my son. Still, I think it would be cramped for him. Good video, I liked the kitchen.
Thanks Kat. Welcome to the channel :)
I love this one. It would be perfect for my husband and me.
Excellent. We are glad you liked it :)
Looks nice,
Thanks Kevin
Wow!!! And during a recession!!! Give me two!!!!
Right? LOL :)
If i could find some small cheap land i would purchase this in a heartbeat for year round home
I'm sure if you looked hard enough, there would be some cheap land somewhere. It's the "Somewhere" thats the tough part :) Good luck and thanks for the input :)
I love the floor plan.
We do as well for the size it is. :)
Love it,looks like a tiny house or summer mansion on wheels !!!!
It does! lol :) Thanks Nico
Love it.
Thanks Jerry :)
Very nice floor plan. Dump the wine cooler and install drawers.
We agree
Nice
Thanks
It's amazing how many people ignore the scamp 5th wheels existence.
At the time, I had never heard of it. So many people have commented about it so we are on the search to review it :)
Or an Escape 5.0!
I agree with you there. I have always loved the scamp trailers. All three of them come with a floor plan that at least for me is totally doable. And their 19 foot fifth wheel is absolutely the smallest and lightest fifth wheel ever. I just learned that if you get the deluxe fifth wheel, you get wrap around upper cabinets in the bed loft area. That’s kind of cool. And the fifth wheel doesn’t actually have a bedroom as much as it has a full bed loft, but that’s one of the things that makes it different and cool. It still feels like you’re camping a little bit.I like that.
The Scamp (in my opinion) is ugly. Now the Escape 5.0 is beautiful and built to last. We are in the market for one. This trailer has a lot of nice features and tons of room and storage, but we will never buy a conventional stick built trailer that is guaranteed to leak (especially with a slide) sooner rather than later.
With the BIGGEST PRICE TAG
Buy Uesd
Actually not a bad price
👍👍🍻
It's not a bad idea :)
That is a Nice RV to be Twenty-Seven feet long, good Job!!!
Thanks Roc :)
the price is right and great for a couple however I would've wanted the awing to over the outside kitchen.
We see many RV's where the awning stops before the outdoor kitchen. My guess at the reasoning for this is that if you are grilling there, having the grill under the awning isn't the best of ideas
I stand 6’2” so good to know.
I glad we could help :)
Sweet!!
Oh yeah! Agreed :)
Awesome 👏
Thanks 🤗
1st time viewer,. Would love to see the sofa fold out…Liked the video! Happy Trails
Thanks Michelle. Will try to do that in future videos for you :)
Who manufactured this? I really like everything except the wine cooler, that would be drawers and the dinette would be switched with the love seat. The dinette takes up too much room for just two people.
Crossroads RV is the manufacturer. :)
Wow that camper has a lot more counter space jam a great big camper a fifth wheel
Absolutely, but in a relatively small package :)
It's just ok. On point for price. Could use a sliding door on bath. Really no the impressed.
Thanks for the input :)
Smallest fifth wheel? Not 'ever'. I had a 23 foot Keystone 10 years ago. Moreover, I didn't camp in it; I LIVED in it. OK - maybe no one makes a 23 footer any more, I don't know. But my family (me, my wife, our teenage daughter, a cat and two dogs) lived in that Keystone for a year, including a full winter at high elevation in Colorado.
Actually, Scamp makes a 19' 5th wheel. How did the Keystone do in the winter in Colorado?
@@TallMansRVReviews The furnace worked adequately, but it was cold. Ours was definitely NOT a four season trailer. One morning, I woke up early to get ready for work. Then I tripped over the dog's water dish. It was frozen solid to the floor and it was -6°F (-21C) inside. The furnace generally worked good enough to keep us from freezing to death. That night was so cold that the propane liquified. I had to bring the tanks inside and warm them up with an electric space heater. Eventually I reinstalled them, the furnace came back on, and my girls could get out from under the blankets. The sewer lines froze, too. Neither tank release would open for weeks, so we did our business (potty and showers) at a gym. I washed dishes outside and just dumped the waste water on the ground. Laundromat for cleaning clothes. It was a tough winter, I don't mind telling you. But it was living in that trailer or a homeless shelter.
Thats a great story. I'm sure it 's a lot easier to tell now than when it was happening. You mentioned space heaters. We carry 2 of them to use. We only really have to use the furnace when we go to sleep. I dont like leaving those little heaters on all night, but they sure do work amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing the story. :)
I love it so much! Kinda heavy for the length, but nice.
Not too bad, 7000 ish empty, 10000 ish fully loaded :)
Can a half ton truck tow it.
Fully loaded its 10,000LBS. I think it might be a little challenging for a 1/2 ton. That being said, check its towing capacity and get with a dealer to confirm. :) Good Luck!!!
Dude, at 27', this is massive compared to the Scamp 5th wheel at 19'
Yes we know. We have commented about it in other posts :) We want to check out the Scamp now as well. However, at the time we videoed this 5th wheel, it was the smallest we had ever seen (at the time) lol
Nice and great price. Thanks for sharing guys👍👍
Yes, most certainly a great price.
Great counter space in kitchen! Unfortunately, shower is too small. That's awesome you're 6'4 so we can get a true idea of how big things really are!
Thanks so much! Welcome to the Tall Man Clan :)
Scamp 19 and Escape 5.0 ta are both way smaller.
Yes and commented about about many times. We are going to try to find them to review :) Thanks Keith
LOL.. hands off the demo to the lady for the kitchen..
I'm an absolute disaster in the kitchen. Its not Pretty. LOL :)
The 27MK is 30 feet in total length. Go to the dealer website. Just because the number is 27 does not mean that is the length
Yes... Thx. This was one of the first videos we ever posted. We've learned a ton since then :)
We have 5 kids so we don’t fit in a truck. I’d love a 5th wheel 😭
That does present some challenges. 2 Vehicles? maybe??? LOL
Nice…I think tile all the way to ceiling is a good idea, in the shower area. Does bed have a hydraulic lift for under mattress storage? Does LR sofa have recliner style lifts on both sides…This looks very livable overall….
There are "Pistons" to assist in raising and lowering bed. They are not Hydraulic. Yes, LR had recliners on both side :)
Uh... My fifth wheel is only 22 feet long.
Cool. Which one do you have?
@@TallMansRVReviews a 1995 Skyline Nomad 2115.
Nice!
TV placement is horrible. Price and weight is great though.
Not fond of that TV placement either :)
scamp has a 19 ft
Thanks Charlie. It has been noted in many comments. We will most certainly go look for it to review :)
Very awesome…literally the only thing i would change is a bigger fridge with a smaller dinette
I would certainly NEVER turn down a bigger fridge. More room for MORE Ice Cream. lol
LOL the Escape 5.0 is 21.6 L WTF !!!
and the Scamp is 19' :) read some of the comments and you will find your answer :)
U-dinette, big windows, big pantry, storage around TV, good size shower & nightstands for bed.
If the bedroom just had a sliding door full closet it would be _perfect._ If the bed was east/west that would've freed up more space for a wall-length closet on the far wall.
East to West and in a slide :)
@@TallMansRVReviews I don't mind slides if it gets me a full sliding-door closet. For a full-time female RV-er, that's essential, non-negotiable stuff! : )
Agreed
@@TallMansRVReviews Perhaps a way to get rid of the slide is to build all the drawers around the _head_ of the queen bed instead of its foot? That way there's more room to walk around the bed without a slide AND gain a wall-length closet...
I'm a squeak under 6'5" and have a tough time finding vehicles, trailers tents that fit me. BTW, Ducati Desert Sled is a good fit. Thank you for the channel.
Thanks Roger. Welcome to the Tall Man Clan :)
Will do as well as try to find one to post on the channel
I can think of two smaller. WB made a Micro Minnie 5th and Lance made one too that was smaller. But this one is very cool and looks better.
We thought it looked great too. :) The SCAMP is much smaller. We look forward to finding it and looking at it as well
Escape makes a 23
I had a 5th wheel once that was 22’.
Nice. Do you remember the model?
Love it. Looking to down size and that would be awesome
Its the perfect downsize. Thanks Dean :)
Very Nice!!!!!!
Thanks :)
Does the roof leak?
In our experience, Roofs do NOT leak on brand new RV's. However, the roof does require yearly maintenance to make sure they never leak. If you do not perform a yearly inspection, somewhere in the future a leak could develop. Plus the roof on this unit is a "One Piece Seamless Super Flex Roof" which is nice. We hope this helps :)
This was a great review!!! I really wish they made them like this at this price in Australia.
Thanks Jack. What is the average price in Australia for an RV like this ?
@@TallMansRVReviews Around $80,000-$140,000 brand new, the problem is there hard to find that’s why they are so expensive!
Supply and Demand does affect the pricing for sure
It looked like you can get to everything with the slide out in!
Yes, which is a big bonus and a must for us
King size bed, thumbs up
Agreed
Love the video. Subscribing now. We will buy a trailer within the next two years and are in our researching phase. Can the couch be changed out for recliners? Thanks!
I do believe that is an option. You can go the the CruiserRV website and look over options. Good luck and let us know when you decide to buy it :)
The table needs more options (fold-down leaves & locking swivel).
That would be a nice add on / option.
I'm 6ft. And it passes my test except maybe the length of the mattress. Chances are , yours and my feet hang off the end . But that's the way it goes .
Yes sir it is. LOL :)
wrong paleface, the escape 5.0ta is smaller, and the idylltyme 19rb is smaller and not only that the tongue weight on both is under 800lbs
Yes, and have been mentioned many times in the comments and as to the reason we thought this 5th wheel to be possible the smallest. Paleface out!!! :)
Very nice! I am confused as to why the awing doesn't go over the outdoor kitchen. That mans if you made it into one of those out door rooms you'd have to leave and go out into the bad weather. They need to fix that. I would like to see them come up with a RV that had a Murphy bed in the Livingroom instead of the couches and chairs.
I agree 10000% on the murphy bed in the living room
It has more dining/seating than most expensive 5th wheels
Am I the only one who HATES the cold, blue lights? And the "wood" color. Yuck.
I'm thinking "No, you not the only one" :)
Awesome unit!
I think so too!
Nice layout for the most part. Love the countertop space, solid countertops, big pantry cabinet, good TV placement, large dinette, king bed, outside kitchen, accessory hitch.
The refrigerator is a bit too small. Can the fold out sofa be replaced by a theatre seat?
We are looking for a short 5th wheel and I was very impressed until I saw the bedroom. The lack of space for clothes, towels and linens is a deal breaker for me.
I am not sure about the sofa. If you go the manufactures website, if there is an option to do that, they will show it.
Honestly its missing a coat closet, and a wardrobe closet, that one looks more like a pantry closet lol
agreed :)
Awe have you ever looked up scamp 5th wheel. This is not the smallest.
Yes, it has been commented on at least 20 times :) We are hoping to find one to review :)
I want it with a few changers.. How do the measure a 5th wheels.. Is it from the hitch back or is it from what's behind the truck back.. The big 40 footers is way more the I need because it's just me..
Manufacturers typically give 2 measurements. One for inside. The other is for outside which would be hitch to bumper
even the "smallest" 5th wheel is bigger than I thought
The smallest 5th wheel is 19'. This one is 25' so not much bigger.
If it had table and chairs I would be interested.
We like a table as well
Nice camper, good review (missed a couple things) but thanks.
That was one of our earlier videos. We do strive to be better everytime :) Thanks
@@TallMansRVReviews Just keep on going and keep getting better. I wasn't complaining, just noticing.
Absolutely :)
That is not the smallest 5th wheel. Scamp has a smaller one 19ft
Yes we know, thus the question mark on the thumb nail. Plus we have answered this question/comment at least a dozen times. We cant wait to go check out the Scamp :) Thanks Peter
Love this
Thx
Beautiful and affordable...Question: Could I live in this year-round (especially in the winter months)? Love the price!
They have an option called "Extreme Weather Package". That would allow you comfortable year round living :)
Makes sense...I often wondered about the insulation in these RVs, especially where the cold could be a problem, like around or above the wheel wells and under the floors in general. What's all involved in this package; likewise, do you add heat under the floors as part of the package, or is this an additional option?
I live in a 22ft Nomad fifth wheel, and it's alright.
This is straight from their brochure:
“EXTREME WEATHER PACKAGE”
• Upgrade Insulation
• Heat Barrier - Reflective Foil
• Enclosed & Heated Underbelly
• Furnace - 30,000 BTU (Cruiser Aire)
• Heated Pass Through Storage
@@TallMansRVReviews Thank You..
Aside from not liking the angles TV it’s way cook- and the PRICE! Subscribed to your channel - hadn’t see you before
Thanks for the sub! Fair enough. BTW... That was literally one of our first videos. :)
Good job- I’ll be following you
Missing Plugs in Kitchen and Bathroom around the table and couch no Plugings.
Yes, there was an outlet by the banquette, 2 outlets in the kitchen (they are up under the upper cabinets and of course an outlet in the Bathroom. Thanks for pointing that out :)
27 feet is TINY?! I think NOT! More like the 19 foot "Casita" 5th wheel is tiny... 🤔
Agreed. The Scamp is also 19'
I have been searching for a trailer to replace my aging 2006 Forest River Cardinal 29 WBLE. (9,600 dry) Were it not for the tiny wardrobe I could consider this, but alas it does lack some amenities I can't go without. I wish he had said what the exterior walls were made of because that's the horrible thing about my Cardinal; the exterior walls are delaminating and the fiberglass is rotting and splitting. I'm looking for one with Azdel composite walls.
Hi Michael. the only thing I can find on the side walls is it lists "LAMINATED SIDE WALLS". So I would guess it is NOT Azdel. We will try to cover these things in future reviews for you :)
It’s too bad no one makes an Ultralight 5th wheel trailer that I can tow behind my Ford Ranger. My max towing is 5500 #.
Try looking at a Scamp. It is 2000LBS empty. 3500LBS GVW
@@TallMansRVReviews Thanks, I will
you cant use a sheltland pony to do the plow work of a Belgian draft horse..
You can't, thats for sure
@@TallMansRVReviews I can tow a Trail Manor, so we’re looking into that.
That would look good behind my Ram Laramie 1500 5.7 Hemi Max tow package what was that cabinet beside the entertainment system under the kitchen cabinet
That wasn't a cabinet. It is a wine cooler.
I like it.
Thanks David :)
@@TallMansRVReviews I’m 6’3” myself, I really like that shower space.
Agreed
Out of all the shorter 5th wheels, I think Jayco does it best.
They certainly do a good job on the shorter ones :) Thanks Daniel!
Love the outside kitchen! Nice size overall but keystone has a cougar that is a bit smaller. That leveling system should be an auto leveling system, that a big downer for us older folk!
Thanks for the comment Bud. We have seen a few that are smaller since we videoed this over a year ago. e agree that Auto Level is a MUST!!!
Yes sir this unit is what I am looking for. How much is it?
Hi Mary, Since Lisa and I do not work for the deal, we would not know the current price for this model. There is a number in the description for the dealer. Please feel free to give them a call and they can assist you with current pricing.
Is it made for dwarves????
Nice.
We agree
Empty 3500 pounds is needed
Yes. It is good! :) Thanks Ed L
that microwave is not convection so many dealer videos mistake that but I have it (insignia residential) and no convection options.
Thanks for pointing that out. We figured it out after we posted the video :)
He's CUTE!
Why Thanks :)
@@TallMansRVReviews no problem!
Lose the wine fridge and give me some drawers!
Since Lisa and I don't drink wine, we are with you. :)
...or maybe a dishwasher. It looks like it could fit a standard 24" one, and since it's right next to the sink, you could tie in the plumbing and drainage right there. Don't drink wine either- wasted space for me.
A dishwasher would be a perfect upgrade in that spot.
no ac in the bedroom?
There is an option to have the 2nd AC :)
I want it!!!
Let us know if you got it. :)
My wife and I are possibly getting back into camping and we think RVing may be the way to go. We are close to retirement and looking for small RV with an outdoor kitchen. This looks like it may fit the bill. Can you send me a list of options? Is that price still applicable?
Here is the link to the manufactures website: www.crossroadsrv.com/products/fifth-wheels/cruiser-aire/floorplans/cr27mk/
As far as price, you will want to contact the dealer I listed in the description or look for the closest one to you. Lisa and I are NOT RV sales people. Just RV Enthusiasts :)
KZ 231RK is only 25 ft.
Thanks Chris. There are a few others as well :)
I love our 2019 KZ 231RK had to go small cause we only have a 2020 1794 4x4 ORP (half ton)
I will for sure add it to the list of RV's we want to see. :)
Nice video. I’m searching for the best couple 5th wheel any more recommendations under 30ft?
Thanks @R35GABE We have a playlist on our channel. That will give you a few to look at. Some of them will be over 30' but most of them are smaller :)
Good Luck. th-cam.com/video/CVvjsyKqCxE/w-d-xo.html
Rather have a dishwasher than the wine cooler.
Same.
Eliminate the dinette and add a table for the couch and make the area a laundry and I would buy it
Interesting concept. Great idea!!! :)
Nah. There's smaller 5th wheels. There's one called the Escape 5.0, there's one by Scamp. There's one by Bigfoot. There's a few others. But they're all WAY smaller. Without being too small. I think there's one that's like 17 feet long.
17' 5th wheel. I gotta see that. lol Thanks for the comment and list.
Scamp 19 is way smaller. This isn’t even close to being the smallest 5th wheel.
I haven't seen a Scamp before. I just looked it up. We will most certainly try to find on of those to review for every. Please note: At the time of this video release (more than a year ago) It was the SMALLEST 5th wheel we had seen. Not so much now
I wish that some of these Manufactures offered their RV units in my region... Sadly it seems they ship them to the big cities regions of our nation... ....
I have been in the market for a RV unit, but nothing seems available in the Mid-Ohio Valley Region...
Once you find the model you want, do a search on the manufactures website for the closest dealer. that being said, there are definitely models that are east coast and west coast. Strange, but true.
@@TallMansRVReviews Hello.. Yes, I have been doing that, but sadly what comes up is usually a few hundred miles away from my area in the Mid-Ohio Valley (Ohio River/WV side) region... ...
I guess I might have to plot a a few day trip if I knew the dealer would have the unit I want on hand...
That sounds like the best option. We wish you luck. Safe travels :)
Seems to have cheap components. NO KITCHEN DRAWERS!!!😢. Limited bedroom storage. The wife and I will pass.
Storage is a MUST!!!!
Nice 5th wheel for the money. What is the pin weight? Overall weight indicates it could be towed by a 150/1500 series truck but can it?
That has been answered in 2 other comments already. Pin weight is 1284 and technically could be towed by 150/1500 but I would always consult with your dealer with your specific truck details. :) Thanks
Nooooooooo! You will be way over on GVWR on any 1/2 ton. Tow capacity is fine but not GVWR.
