Top Pick Travel Trailers for 2023!!
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 07. 2024
- What RV would YOU buy? What is the best travel trailer? I get questions like that all the time. But the thing is... what I would buy changes based on how I may use the RV.
So today a different kind of "Top Picks" video from what we've done in the past -- these are currently some of my favorite top picks in the world of travel trailers based on several "Categories" or scenarios I've created. These are the RVs that speak the loudest to me personally the way I would camp.
It doesn't mean "THESE ARE THE BEST ONES!!" But rather.. just the best ones for me and my family. This is only meant as a way of answering a question I often get and perhaps serving as a "launch pad" for you in your own search for an RV!

Do full time living RVs but for different budget levels and/or life situations
I see you did, thank you
Not a terrible idea. Ty
@@JoshtheRVNerdplease I need a washer and dryer available in it and a space that is big enough for a 65 inch tv lol. No joke. Even if I can remove a dining table or something
@elizaleski9618 I actually just saw a konect with a 65" and washer and dryer prep... miles rv or firmly unbound. It's 32 foot TT

Hey Josh, thanks for all the content brother. You’re literally the only person who’s videos and advice I’ll listen to for all things RV. Cheers from VA!
Ty Jeb!
Thank you Josh! If I were going to be solo in a small camper, I love the small Winnebago with the bunkbeds. Because campers never have enough closet space, and the bunkbeds would serve a wonderful closet/storage area!
Love the office concept of the smaller toy haulers. Great space for a desk and bicycles and outdoor furniture. Not to mention the porch space for morning coffee. Thanks Josh!
TY Cindy!
I loved all your picks!!!!! I owned a micro mini as our first couples camper and I kind of miss the nimble nature of it, but it was literally a sardine can if it rained outside we were cramped. Loved the cougar and the View is stunning 🤩 I’m with you Josh … if I had lake property I would call you to get that delivered. Thank you so much for the videos you do!
That is awesome!
We have a Jay Feather 29L. I like that it is low to the ground, has an actual trailer frame under it, and a nice long slide, which you don’t even have to deploy to use all features in the trailer if you’re travelling. Also love the full pass-through storage at both ends. What we hate is the sort of queen bed in the nose. No reason for it. Lazy design.
#NerdHerd. We purchased a 2021 Jayco 174BH based on research using your videos. My first rv ever. We’ve used it for over 300 days in 2 years and enjoy it so much. My mom is 83 and stays all summer. Thanks for the info. We will continue to watch for all of the new updates that come out.
Ty! I’d appreciate it if you dropped me a quick review at g.page/r/CdPcitNVx2nDEAg/review for the help!
Thank you Josh! Great job showcasing your pics. I love the way you showed the good, bad and ugly! I wish you were closer to Florida. I trust they way you tell it like it is! Be safe. 👍🏻👍🏻💕🙏
My first pick would be a front kitchen with bed slide and under 30ft and half ton towable. We bought a 2021 Flagstaff 26FKBS and absolutely love it. It's a great couples camper with room to spare.
It does Rockwood things very well ;)
It’s great model. Coachmen freedom express has a similar good model
Bought our first camper last summer (June 2022)
Family of 5 (3 kids)
Jayco 295BHS.
Absolutely love it. Can access everything in road mode and plenty of space/sleeping when opened up.
We upgraded the AC, TV, outside Griddle, and stability steps on purchasing, then upgraded the bathroom medicine cabinet/mirror, table legs, wall hooks, and a few easier items on our own based off of videos like this. Thank you so much.
TOTALLY recommend the Jayco 295BHS, with some upgrades, as a first or even 2nd or 3rd camper.
Absolutely love it.
In the last year we have used it from ND to GA and lots of spots in between.
Wow this is awesome
Ty for sharing
Nice! Same family size for us as well. What are u towing with ?!
@@alceja3522 We're towing with a 2007 Silverado 2500 HD. More than enough for this camper, but we've had the truck for years and it's still running great, so why change!
@@CurtisRamer that’s great I would love a 2500 one day. Thank you for replying
I am a fan of the FE 257BHS, lots of good features and the RBS looks just as well thought out.
I really like your personal pick, the Cougar 22MLS. Seems to have a lot of inside storage space and not so large in the overall size. Thank you for the updates!
I totally agree! It’s such a strong model
Hey NERD,
I've been watching your videos "forever". You helped me decide on a 2022 Highland Ridge Range Lite 17BH. I've been doing construction over 40 years. Just the past 2 years have been out of town. Over 90% of our jobs will be out of town. Bought it 2 weeks ago. love it. Thanks for your videos. Construction guys have different needs.😁
TY and congrats!
Totally love your videos! One thing would make the dining table more usable for family's a table extension you could unfold when needed, like they have for some kitchen counters.
Glad you like them! Ty 😊
For my family and camping lifestyle (seasonal’s), travel trailers that are over 30’ long with a single super-slide & bunkhouse are my preference, here are my top 5:
5 ) Nash 29S
4 ) Wildwood Heritage Glen 26BHHL
3 ) Outdoors RV 28DBS
2 ) Cougar 30BHS
1 ) Ember 28BH
Nate from Buffalo
‘18 Keystone Cougar 29BHS (my favorite floor plan of all time)
_Nice_ List. #respect
Always enjoy your videos. We own a 97 Fleetwood Mallard 19-footer and have loved it. Just the right size for two, easy to pull and fits easily into even the smallest Nat. Park campground. Looking now for an easier bed to get in and out of. The small Jayco looks great as does the 21’ Geo-Pro you reviewed earlier. We’ll strongly consider the 2+hour drive to Richmond because of your reputation and honest approach. One suggestion for your Bish’s website-a filter for overall length. I’d like to filter 24’ and shorter. Keep the videos coming!
Length filter would be great. We've found some difficulty with our web service accomplishing some things like that
I sold my little 25 foot TT and bought my 33ft Coachmen TT with rear living and one long slide. I love it! I'm solo female with 3 Labrador Retrievers and they love all the floor space. I have towed it from Texas to Kentucky and back to Texas. In March I towed from Texas to NW Minnesota, where I am currently. It actually tows a lot better than my shorter camper did.
What is your tow vehicle?
Nerd Herd / Leaning towards the Keystone Cougar. I am Loving the new industry standard upgrades. I would be really happy for a Tankless water heater as Standard not as an upgrade. Love the Vids You are Clearing the mercy waters of RV Options and true design purpose. Thank you for all you do.
I try Eric. Thank you
Great video Josh! I always enjoy looking at different floor plans. This couple prefers a trailer around 20 feet, so the Jay Flight or the Winnebago would be more our jam. That said, love our Geo Pro 19QB. Got her tricked out with added solar and a lithium battery. Very hard to book sites with power in the Provincial Parks in Southern Ontario. #NerdHerd
I was always surprised the QB wasn’t more popular
@@JoshtheRVNerd I suspect the lack of a couch. Not many want a dinette any more.
Loved our little Jayco starter, lots of good trips. As retirees, open living space and long stays more of a focus. Loving the toy hauler concept, bicycle and golf cart friendly without loss of living space. Really enjoy your videos!
Thank you :)
Love these kinds of videos! Good chance to see a lot in just a short time.
Glad you enjoyed!
Subscribed because of the dry jokes and your inner rapper inserts. Lol! Also informative 👌
💪🏻
My wife and I have a Mesa Ridge 212fb have owned it 1.5 yrs,we have pulled it 7k+ miles and it's been great, perfect for 2.Thanks love your videos very educational.
TY Randal! That's such a smart model. Glad you're having fun :)
I like the one we just picked up. Passport GT 2401bhwe. I spent 8-9 months looking at different bunkhouse TT. My wife walked into the 2401 and fell in love with it after 10min.
They did really good on that one. Nice choice
Appreciate all your RV videos. I was looking to downsize from a diesel pusher to a small tow behind and used your reviews as a very valuable tool to determine what was out there. Your review of the 191MSL reintroduced me to Ember after I had dismissed them as "too new" at the RV show. I now have the 191MSL and am able to configure it to solo camp, RV with my wife and 2 dogs, or Tailgate for a week at a NASCAR race. Combine that with the curt suspension that makes this the best towing RV I have had and I feel like this one should have made your list.
I should've included a special mention for those MSL models as "most multi-functional" or something lol
Glad I was able to assist. Mind dropping me a quick review at g.page/r/CdPcitNVx2nDEAg/review in return for the helping hand?
Love your videos Josh!! You have fun while doing your job and super entertaining. Thanks for all the facts and break downs! Still in the market for a small trailer, 3000lbs or below tow.
Not a bunch in that range nowadays. Bushwhackers maybe?
Great video Uncle Josh! Rock staff for the win! Seriously your list had lots a great rigs for different perspectives.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This guy is so funny lol!!! Just bought our first camper a 2023 prowler. The wife and i are super excited to get our rv on lol!
Well that first one is exactly what I am really looking for, now I am going to see where I can find one to see one. Thanks Josh.
Glad to help
Hey Josh, I just picked up my new 212qb yesterday mostly due to your videos! Thank you!
That is awesome! Congratulations! Mind dropping me a quick review in return for the helping hand at g.page/r/CdPcitNVx2nDEAg/review
Nice! That huge Jaco… A lot of Arizona snow birds have taken to leaving their unit in the park year round. When you factor in hassle, fuel, storing at home, discount for year round park space…. Makes sense for a lot of people and that Jaco would be perfect for that imho.
Yeah for seasonal sites that helps
Always entertaining and informative. The Cougar 27 BHS was intriguing. We have a Wildwood 26 BHHL and love the storage and TV placement. The Cougar has a unique layout though.
That BHHL is a good one
Thanks Josh! That was great information.😊
I try! TY for watching :)
We love our keystone hideout 177RD, only small trailer with soo much outside storage and plenty of storage inside for a week’s worth of camping, only thing I wish it had was an extra axle.
Hadn't watched yet, but I already know this list is going to be great. Hopefully, Alphawolf 26 dbh-L is here.
We just saw the 42 view at our local show and I was super excited to walk through it. Both of us agreed that thing is incredible for full time living, vacation getaway or whatever! Plus if you were a couple looking to do something more long term, those bunks make for a great attic style space for some storage bins!
Also our more realistic choice is most likely going to be the Grand Design 200MMK. It's much larger feeling inside than we expected and with the sofa and floating table instead of the dinette, it's got some nice rainy day movie watching space. The kitchen space is unrivaled in it's size aside from the other brands making virtual copies of the floorplan and the bathroom really isn't bad since it doesn't have a corner shower, at 6'2" and more like 6'5" with my chunky work boots on, my head is in the skylight but I wouldn't have any issues taking a shower in there. Then the killer feature is that since this one is a permanent bed instead of a Murphy, you don't have to worry about the slide cutting off access to it in road mode which we see as an absolute must for rest stop naps on a road trip, and it's a full queen instead of a shorty. You've even got a nice chunk of solar with the 165 watt panel to keep that fridge going for all your snacky needs on the way to your destination! I did fall in love with the Ember 21MRK for a lot of the same reasons and more but once we saw the price difference... It's hard to beat the Grand Design.
That transcend 200 is *NICE.* I think they made some smart calls there balancing the features and layout without sacrificing their identity
Sticking with things like that true queen for instance.
I just want to say, Josh, that I really value your opinion! This was great information. I'm single and have been looking for the perfect RV/ travel trailer/small camper. I originally wanted to tow it with my Toyota van, but am thinking for safety and more towability, I may need to get a Toyota Tundra. Thanks again! Love watching your videos. They're very informative!
Vans of most any variety offer quite limited towing options. A tundra will open up a lot of doors
But before pulling the trigger on an new vehicle I do recommend at least _picking_ the RV you want so you know what vehicle you'll need to handle it
Josh I like the bunk model layouts because of the room and usually has a camp kitchen. Also I think it’s easier to sell bunk models when your done with that rv. No one really talks about where do you put the luggage if your going out for a week or two trip.
I can get by on very little if needed but I am thankful my wife preps, packs, and prepares well
The one thing I want in my next RV is an end kitchen. I don't like the living area/kitchen in the middle because it's too congested.
For detonation use I REALLY prefer rear kitchens
Thanks for another great video uncle Josh.
Glad you enjoyed it
I love the 2608bs for couples trailer by rockwood. Great quality. Great floor plan
It is suuuuper good. It's incredible how many other brands have started riding that bandwagon since
LOVE this style video!!!
Glad you liked it!!
Disappointed that an outdoors rv not on your list when you have previously given them such good reviews. I solo travel in mine. Winter and summer. Love it.
I like what they do but they’re not made for my kind of camping if that makes sense
We went with the Flagstaff 25FKBS for our couples camper. We love the front kitchen, back sleepy!!
That is SUCH a good model. Congrats and enjoy!
@@JoshtheRVNerd we watched SO many of your videos before we narrowed down our search. The Freedom Express in this video was our 2nd choice but the kitchen in the Flagstaff won!
I enjoy this type of video for sure!
Good to know! Ty
Make the Winnebago solo camper 8 feet wide with a dine-ofa instead of the dinette and I think it may be as close to EXACTLY what I'm looking for or as close to it as I thought was possible. My midsized truck could even handle it if it added another 1000lbs. I think the extra foot in width with a dine-ofa would open it right up.
Could be awesome..
Agree! I want a residential queen and theatre seats or at least a sofa. #DITCHTHEDINETTE
They make a sofa option on the minnies with dinette slides.
The 1808 FBS adds a slide and you can option out a sofa in place of the dinette
I have a MM and I wanted it because it WASNT 8’ wide. I love the smaller width.
I ended up buying a FSX280 at the end of last year because it was still in the range of what I felt comfortable towing with my half ton. Then I ended up falling into a great deal on an older F250 and kind of regret not going a tick bigger. But even still, the size of the 280 is just about perfect for what I need it for (motorcycle rallies) but I would have liked something with a tick more cargo capacity. With my Harley Softail and a friends Sportser, I’ll be not too far from GVWR on the trailer before even any water is added. Live and learn.
I like that 280. Wish I could get my hands on one
The Jay Flight 264BH checks all the boxes for my next family camper. After that the Freedom Express 252RBS is perfect for when we eventually get to do couples camping and eventually 'snowbird' maybe...
Good picks!
You are my favorite. Including the dad jokes.
Whew! That's good because dad jokes are about all I got
So far my two favorite couples campers, as a replacement for vanlife, would be the Coachmen Northern Spirit 1943RB / Rockwood Mini Lite 2205S.
Both have the rear entry with the fridge next to the nice size bathroom, driver side with nice theater seats across from size-able kitchen + swivel mount Tv, and at the front is a full queen with walking space on either size + under bed storage. And they’re both around 5K pounds dry, meaning a midsize could tow it just fine, transmission cooler would probably be a worthwhile investment though.
I think the Coachmen is slightly better with an L shaped kitchen that provides bar seating, and a far larger under bed storage.
TY for those picks. I don't think I've been able to see that 1943 quite yet but will keep an eye out
It's interesting seeing different styles all together like this. It's a great overview.
I don't know how you could narrow the list down, much less choose a favorite.
It's rough. There are dozens of amazing models that could easily qualify
@@JoshtheRVNerd and from the consumer point of view, many other makes that Bish's doesn't carry. I wish you still had the used rv reviews. It gave a good feel for other options.
Great picks Josh you are amazing
Thanks so much!
Yep the view is a whole house i can definitely live in it for a while
That 264BH is definitely high on my list of Bunk Houses.
But I want a Toy hauler more right now and the 190RT is at the Top of my list already thanks to your Videos on it.
Thanks for Sharing as Always Josh!
I've always had a "thing" for that 190RT..
@@JoshtheRVNerd
I can see why. Your video back in either 2020 or 2021 immediately got me interested in them.
Great presentation. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cousin Josh ( Great Great Grandfather Winters) an excellent presentation. Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your videos
😊
Great and informative videos!! I like the 2013 keystone outback 250RS. When did they stop making them. Are there any current RVs with the rear and side slides comparable?
Not sure when those were retired nor am I familiar with something like it
Warranties are useless when you can't get it fixed for three months. That happened to me in Phoenix in the winter with no heat, brand new model.
Manufacturers need to give a "time to fix" guarantee
I have a 2021 Jayco 25 RB. I feel that I have been sold a white elephant that has never delivered. What makes you feel that Jayco is still a great company? I’d give anything to have my 1995 Jayco back. It was more solid and I never had a problem. The current Jayco, I feel like I’m down to JB Weld and bailing wire.
I live in my Evergreen 232RB TT and its designed perfectly for one or two, I removed the useless cramped dinette and added a double recliner, and a queen size tempurpedic bed, but otherwise its stock. It has a huge shower and bathroom, and island in the kitchen and lots of counter space. Anything laid out like it would be a winner in my opinion, I do like the Jayco the best of all these in the video.
I always liked Evergreen and was sad to see them go
@@JoshtheRVNerd I imagine after looking at the window sticker in the kitchen drawer it was because they were too pricey for a lot of families, 43k new...got mine a 2015 in 2019 for 14500 stored indoors climate controlled and used once to go to Biloxi from Largo Florida, from a family whose mom had bought it to travel then died of a sudden heart attack. It replaced my 2009 Monaco Monarch 30 foot motorhome that was killing me on repairs and fuel.
I have a Jayco White Hawk and I love that Eagle! That is my next purchase!
Nice!
Love the cougar!! The jayco family smaller one I love!!
Thank you for watching!
If I had the money, I'd get a Renegade RV made in Bristol Indiana. They are the best ones I've been inside of and drove. Top quality from end to end, made to last for ever.
I’ve been thru a few. Liked what I saw. I think you see more money invested in the build than the widgets
Thank you for showing me that Winnebago Micro Minnie, that thing would be great for just me and my dog to travel the USA, and the fact it has lots of insulation seems like it would be great for most cold weather camping.
Thank you for watching!
I enjoy your videos. That’s why I had ordered our 2022 Rockwood 2608bs. It would of been nice if we had the Jayco Eagle money.
2608BS is pound for pound HARD to beat. You did well :)
I love the Eagle 33RSTS and I'll take the delivery option. ❤
Let’s do it!
THE most important thing is you do do the pro's and CON'S. which I really appriciate!
TY :)
Got to say that my two favourite for the solo camper part-time would be the 2021 Jay Feather 16RK and for the solo camper full-time 2023 Grand Design Imagine XLS 23LDE.
That 16RK had a short run. Slick little camper though
Great video it’s always Josh I personally like the cougar I believe it was a 22MLS my wife and I just go camping and two of us and what I would look for is quality fit and finish.
Thanks for sharing!
The one I would choose is the first one. The first thing to go to the scrap heap would be the propane/electric refrigerator replace with an Isotherm 12/electric one. If it’s got a fart fan that can be add to the scrap heap as well. Replace with a different one with a cover so you could run it in the rain. Number three get a gallon of paint that will take care of the dark wood. Number four add the Froli sleep system to the piece of plywood then add a better mattress. This was an A- before it only gets better. I could keep going but this is the only one for me and mama bear. Thanks nerd.
I’ve never slept on those froli things but I hear they are pretty great
Couple of flashbacks to Haylett RV in there. Like the Jayco Eagle!
Yep yep! Still viable stuff!
I am impressed by Alliance. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I have learned so much from your videis.
My pleasure. Like anyone they're not perfect necessarily but I do feel they do one of the best jobs in trying to step up to serve a client AFTER thes ale
Great video Josh!
Well thankya! :)
I ended up buying the jayflight 264bhw for my family starter and love it. Would love a slide but that's alright I'll level up on my next one!
It's a really great way to start camping. And there's ALWAYS a market for that model in the used RV world
Great concept -- so helpful!!! Thank you!
P.S. Yes, "Significant Otters" can be a challenge!
lol I may have to start using that
Looking at a primarily couples model with the space and features to bring a few grandkids now and then. The one I’m looking very hard at is the Wildwood 27RK. I went to Bish’s Davenport just a couple days ago to see one in person and looked at several others as well. Brittany(sp?) is AWESOME btw. After looking at several options, the 27RK still seemed to fit the bill. Thoughts? Other options I’m not thinking of? Thanks Josh! #NerdHerd
Love the videos love all the RVs for me I would put the micro Minnie Winnebago against the Nash and see what happens
Whew lad that Jayco Eagle 330RSTS. That's nice
Yeah.. she's a beast :)
I look for 1 1/2 or 2 bathrooms, in an rv or house! We even want this when it’s just the 2 of us!
Hey nerd love the food for thought videos like these.
TY Ken! :)
My top solo camper would definitely have a comfortable sofa or theater seating and a walk around bed👍👍👍and I have to say that I was a little surprised to see so many cheap plastic toilets, shower curtains and Dollar Store 4” fart fans in a best of video😢
Keystone Bullet 258RKS, Imagine 2670MK, Outback Ultra Lite 260UML, Keystone Passport 2400RB
Good models!
Hey Josh, what about the BETWEEN trailer? Not a couples trailer yet, no to the bunk house which we sold (4 bunks) but large family, enjoy the larger units spacing with or without everybody with. I understand the couples units, but don't want to bang elbows walking around trailer. Thoughts?
#NERDHERD
LOVIN THE VIDS
Couple looking for our first RV always checking out your newest videos.
TY Dirk :)
Hi Josh, love your videos, so much good information. We are interested in the Shamrock 19 by Flagstaff. We are looking for something short, but big on living space, two concepts that don't easily combine. We want to be able to fit in Oregon's small federal parks (they are the best) but also something that we can camp in the winter on the Oregon coast. I would also highly prefer a double axel. What do you think of the hybrids?
Hybrids are good for big small in small, light campers. You need to consider the fact they’re not great for light sleepers and not typically allowed in bear country
We are getting ready to make that leap and like you said Rockwood/Flagstaff are high on my list. It is really just going to be us but the wife wants room so I am in real trouble here LOL.
Lemme know what you decide to go with!
We look at what are deal breakers and go from there. A single axle, no tank heaters, and a short queen bed will kill the deal. Office friendly, large oven and microwave, and outside grill are requirements. The last requirement is 7,500 lbs. or less in weight. Thanks for the another great video.
Bear in mind, the east coast id infested with toll roads. Sometimes $15-20 for a car to cross a bridge or tunnel, easy to spend $50 in a day. Toll charges are based on axles, so a single axle trailer increases your tolls by 50% but the admittedly better dual axle will DOUBLE your tolls.
I’ll stay out here in the West. Thanks for the warning. ⚠️
Great job. I can “Imagine” seeing me in one of those “Imagines”. Can you do a video from your store that offers the rental service and educate us on that whole process?
I think only our salt lake store offers rentals. Everything is localized to that location
Travelling Robert, a big YT rver and Winnebago ambassador, recently got a FLX prototype of the 1720 FB and is right now taking it from FL to Alaska
Yep yep!
Great picks and thank you. Can you include twin bed models next year ? I would be curious which brand you would pick. I'm leaning towards Winnebago. I would love to have the destination trailer at a lake.
I get them where I can. They’re just super rare
Josh, I've been following you for several years. Your videos and factory tour got me into our 20FBS GeoPro. We absolutely love it. Since you've switched to Bishs you walk by them, but seem to never mention them anymore. Do you no longer sell them new. I would recommend our camper for towabily, (TV Jeep Grand Cherokee) quality of construction, easy to live in. Our longest continuous stay in the last 12 months has been 24 days and more than 30 days of camping in short stays. I felt it should of made mentioning, but understand if you nolonger sell them. Thanks for your videos.
Hey Josh,
Love the content. What are your thoughts on the East to West: Alta?
How does that stack up to the others?
We, my wife and I are looking at the 2600 KRK and kRB. I think those are the model numbers?
Thanks.
Does Bishs sell these??
We do and I *really* like Alta models. I have reviews in a few and like how they execute
There was a lot of Jayco and Keystone Cougars, but what about Rockwoods doin' Rockwood things? Mini Lites and Geo Pros are usually some that you speak very highly of in your videos, but not a peep about them here. Not to mention, I don't recall seeing anything here with a Murphy bed, which can be a great space saver. I appreciated the Winnebago Micro Minnie, but that seemed to be it as far as small campers go. What about single axle campers, perhaps an R-Pod or something else in that class? Also, I didn't see anything from Grand Design - they're usually pretty well regarded. Some hybrid/popup campers like the Rockwood Roo might be good to showcase too, or even an Aliner (if Bish's carries them).
Are Jayco and Keystone Cougars just that much better than the competition?
This video focused on new floor plans i was able to record this year. Didn’t get to see a lot of new Rockwood’s
@@JoshtheRVNerd Ah, that explains it. I may have missed that if it was said somewhere in the video. It does feel a little strange to focus the discussion on new floorplans rather than taking a holistic look at what's available, when the video is titled "Top Pick Travel Trailers for 2023".
Still, I appreciate the work you do and amount of detail you provide! A year and a half ago we got a Mini Lite 2509S largely thanks to your reviews. It ended up being a great fit.
Hi Josh, great program, as always! Could you do a similar review of 5th wheels?
Possibly! Let me see what I can come up with
The Rockstaff 235S should have been in there. Two queen beds (private as well) enough floor space for packnplays for when kids are small, and when they are, a bed big enough for 2 of them. Huge outside kitchen. Also great for couples and friends camping because everyone's bed is the same. No one stuck on a sofa or bunk meant for a kid.
If I went with my favorite hybrid, then it would be either that or the 233S. I like the 233S but it isn't the best fit for my family
Cougar 22mls is an awesome floor plan. Thanks Josh!
You bet!
Eventually going to trade my 33 ft travel trailer for that Cougar 22mls! It is perfect for a couple to go cross country!
I *really* like that one
Nice trailer but I like the cougar 23MLE better. The wardrobe in the bedroom is a nice feature, no slide. Overall it is a nice trailer!!
Ty! They have a new trailer version of the 23MLE coming
I already have footage of it 😉
It's amazing that you found a hat with hair that matches your beard exactly! Lol😅
What hat? lol
@@JoshtheRVNerd You crack me up! Thanks for all the fun videos!
