    If I could redesign this to suit my needs I would start by deleting the slide, put a 64" theater seat IPO the u-dinete. If there is room between the bathroom and the loveseat I'd either add some pantry space. Borrow the counter style and stools from an AIM 18BH for my dining experience.

    I bought this model last month while trading in a 2021 Wolf Pup 17JG. I wanted the Ushape dinette but couldn't find one in New York. Every one we found had the theater dinette we we purchased a 2022 Transcend Xplor 200MK with the theater sofa dinette and we love it. This camper has so much room for a 20 foot box. The floor space is huge, the bathroom is big, there is amazing storage and everything about it is quality.

    Thanks Josh,
    When I was watching your video you mentioned the solar could be expanded if you wanted to. I thought that is what it would be extended to. Sorry for the confusion, this is all new to me. So if we want to use the outlets sounds like we need a generator.
    Thanks
    Mike

    • @JoshtheRVNerd
      @JoshtheRVNerd  Před 11 měsíci

      No worries. Feel free to ask plenty of questions. I get a lot of comments but do my best to get to them all
      So for clarity solar does nothing but charge the battery. That's is. More solar just means more charging.
      Batteries provide 12v power for things like lights, fans, slides. Think of it like "little power"
      Things like microwaves, A/C units, and household outlets require household "big power"
      You *CAN* power those "big power" devices with just battery "little power," but to do so you need an inverter. Inverter will pull harder off that battery to provide big power from little power.
      But.. as you can imagine it will drain your battery supply far, far more quickly.
      Inverters are often packaged along with larger solar packages but in point of fact inverters and solar stuff are two separate things

      Apologies perhaps I'm not understanding clearly enough. Travel Trailers typically have either reclining theater seats or folding sleeper sofas. Almost none have both currently (at least none that I've seen in the mainstream market)
      Could you clarify what you're seeking perhaps or give me a reference to something that has the kind of seating you're seeking?

    • @JoshtheRVNerd

      Did you ever have problems with the original tires??

    • @sny1168
      @sny1168 Před 2 lety

      @@JoshtheRVNerd No did not have a problem. But the tires had probably 700 miles on them when I replaced them. Did not like the sidewall roll over the Westlakes had when making turns. The Endurance sidewalls are much much stiffer and resist the rollover. I also prefer the Endurance tread design. I believe the Endurance will be less likely to hydoplane and more likely to resist road heat. There is a reason for the 75 mph rating of the Westlake and the 87 mph of the Endurance. See a lot more complaints on CZcams about Westlake tire failure than Endurance. The few hundred dollars to replace the tires might save me thousands in repairs.
      On another note, thanks for your thorough reviews. I really think of you as having a gifted talent at what you do being able to supply your audience with informative information in a keep em entertained manner, not a nerd.

The fact that you can get recliners instead of the dinette, an actual place for a trash can, a rectangular shower, a full on queen sized bed with a large and nicely laid out kitchen with an oven and full travel accessibility. I like the headboard pad on the bed and the wet bay area. Just a really great setup here. Then, the weight of this thing, you hardly even went over that Josh!!! along with the 62 gallons of fresh water!!! .. If they would have just put some doors on the cabinet in the bathroom!

    I LOVE this layout with the theater seats option. Every time I see it. Just LOVE. I would definitely get larger vent fans. My husband and I walked through one and he is 6'5" and fit with tennis shoes on. The A/C is slim to the ceiling so he just skimmed under it. He fit in the shower while standing in the skylight, which isn't always true in a 6'6" camper. The steps were a little sketch for someone my husband's size. We would either have to immediately upgrade those or get one of those sav a step things and see how it went.

    @XPLORCAMPER Před 2 lety +6

    Still loving it. This is the first 200MK i have actually seen with the dinette. Ours have the theater seat recliners in it and GD includes a monster table with that option. I was actually shocked by how heavy duty the table is. I am glad to see they have put USB ports on both sides of the bed, ours only have them on one side. Also they have changed the kitchen sink to a double instead of the big farm sink. A quick fix to that curtain that is near the slide is to put a curtain hold back on the wall. The water heater is located under the counter beside the fridge so you certainly test your flexibility when you go to change the bypass valves to winterize. But the water pump is behind the camp side wall in the front storage compartment. And another little nicety is that they included a valve and hose at the water pump to pull your anti-freeze through your water system. Like you said there are a lot of things on this model that you would not expect, like a porcelain toilet. We are extremely happy with our 200MK. Even happier we bought it last summer before the price went up again and again and again... Thanks for this one Josh.

    Not a big stick and tin, I do like the way Transcend uses siding that is smoother. For the size and class this thing is almost perfect for someone like me, my biggest grip is OSB under the bed. Still, I'd seriously consider this with the theater seats, great for solo or couples who don't have overnight guest.

    Other than replacing the wafer thin mattress (although bravo for the residential queen), I would replace the dinette with either a loveseat or preferably theatre seats. Oh yes, you said theatre seats are an option. Love the low step-in shower.Smart use of the pocket door on the bathroom. Stick a fork in it then! Yes, they do need an outlet back in the corner.

  • @kevenbottenfield527

    I own a 2021 200MK. We have the Theatre seating instead of the dinette. Its a very comfortable trailer. And I can vouch for the 'elephant enema' issue! LOL. We really like the 12v fridge and all the counter space. And, just like Josh says, that cabinet at the far end beside the fridge is tough for those shorter folks (my wife is 4'10"). Our only real gripe with the unit is that its hitch weight is quite heavy. With just propane, 1 battery and a few leveling blocks and sewer hose in the front pass thru, our tongue weight is almost exactly 650lbs. And with a truck that only has 1200lb payload, that is quite limiting and the reason why we are selling our 200MK after only one season and less than 1k miles. I'd say though, if you properly match your tow vehicle, you really can't go wrong with the 200MK. It really is an excellent trailer.
    Edit...Want to add that out 2021 has a porcelain toilet. The 2022 in your review looked like it might have been plastic?

    • @JoshtheRVNerd
      @JoshtheRVNerd  Před 2 lety

      PROTIP: Get some kind of tote or basket to slide to the back. It forces other storage to the front of those holes and you can more easily grab the basket to drag forward

    Man josh you were a busy beaver in spud land. Would total bring a recliner for the wall when the slide is out. I get that the dinette isnt comfortable for extended lounging. However more pillows would solve that. Small gripe wish the bed had more support instead of the beaver puke board. Still a solid first time couples camper.

  • @eurogryphon
    @eurogryphon Před 2 lety +2

    I like the counter space curves in the kitchen and bathroom. It adds a nice aesthetic.
    The kitchen storage is fantastic. Since I saw your first Ember video last summer/fall timeframe, I've started gravitating away from Geo Pro to Ember, but I enjoy cooking; is there an Ember with a comparable kitchen?
    I'd rather have the theater seating with the removable table than the U-dinette featured. If you went with that option, would you lose the under-seat storage compartments you have with this dinette?
    The square shower is nice because it gives you that little bit of extra elbow room.
    I love the "drunken octopus fight club" line. I've never thought about coathangers that way, and will see if I can use it in conversation when I go back to work next week (my coworkers already think I'm weird; why not dial it to 11?).

      Because it wasn’t that price when I published this
      Pricing isn’t static and it’s not always obvious how videos age vs what current pricing is
      Grand design also has a policy that forces dealers to publish only MSRP nationally like this so there’s only so much I can do unfortunately
      I do leave links in the video description though so you can always see current pricing and availability relevant to when you watch instead of when it’s posted
