    That is our camper in the video! 257BHS represent! Was a few days away from buying a 2509s and so glad the 257BHS landed at Haylett! A dedicated bedroom makes ALL the difference with kids.

    THIS is the list I was waiting for, and I am guessing that a lot of people that are looking to getting into RV'ing will also appreciate it. A few observations from a long time viewer and recent first time purchaser: 1. The Jay Flights 264BH is one of the nicest looking stick and tin model interior I have seen in a long time. I would have sworn you were showing a much more expensive trailer. 2. The Wildwood 178BHSK also took me by surprise with it's light colored interior and surprising interior space. 3. The Geo Pro 19BH is deceptively bigger on the inside than one would think. I would have never guessed this 20 ft. unit had bunk beds. Couple that with the Magic Man act and the Deep Purple "Smoke on the Water" riff, this is a great product showcase video. 4. The Freedom Express 257BHS was my second choice for a travel trailer; and it was a VERY close second choice. With its true queen bed, taller ceilings, wide stance axles and carpetless slid, it's a winner. However, we wanted something a little shorter and with a Murphy bed. . The Rockwood 2509S is also a personal favorite of mine. In fact, we purchased it's identical twin, the Flagstaff Micro Lite 25BRDS. It's the perfect size, as it will likely fit easily in all of the National Parks but it's big enough to not feel cramped when you're stuck inside on a rainy day; especially with the huge u-shaped dinette and Murphy bed/sofa. With it's beautiful vacuum bonded exterior, welded aluminum construction, Azdel, walkable roof, Dexter torsion axles and Goodyear Endurance tires, it's got the goods. Plus, ours came with the 15K A/C upgrade, power stabilizer jacks, 190 watt solar panel with inverter, the optional white exterior, light colored interior and a 12 volt DC refrigerator. Optioned out, this trailer is hard to beat.; and for us, could not be beat! WHat a great video. I am guessing that this will get a LOT of views.

    Our 178bhsk has been a good starter trailer for us. I really like the double size bunks, the u shaped dinette and the bathroom is accessible during travel. We originally towed with a suv, but now have a truck and can tow the little trailer anywhere

  • @kenp9469

    You nailed it as far as order goes. Have to admit at 7 1/2 foot wide. The Wildwood is quite appealing. The really older roads, which I am sometimes on. The lanes are just not as wide.

    Thank you Josh for that very informative and nicely put list of bunk houses. My wife especially loved and I mean loved that 257 Freedom Exspres. Her exact comment was as follows, "That's under thirty feet or at thirty feet. And your truck can pull that no problem. Plus if the kids don't come along that top bunk is for storage and the bottom bunk would be for the dogs." I just replied yeas deer lol 😆

    Looking at a heartland mallard 251BH right now....seems too good to be true. King bed, power jacks, heated enclosed underbelly, walk in pantry, outdoor kitchen with a grill not a useless 2 burner stove, ultra modern chef kitchen, with backlit glass cabintery, fireplace, glow in the dark exterior graphics....goes on and on. And right now it's $10-20k LESS than others like the freedom express 257!

I would throw in along side the Wildwood 178BHSK an honorable mention of the 179DBK for those not looking for the slide. Also the Wildwood X-lite 19DBXL those looking for the tandem axle with no slides.... I think I might be biased towards Wildwoods and no slide campers 😅

BTW, your graphics on the Wolf Pup are correct, but in the audio you say that the total weight is 6575 lbs instead of 3575 lbs.

    The Jayco, Wildwood and Rockwood have everything you need in a bunkhouse trailer that can sleep 6-8 people including more than one place for all of those people to sit! Sorry, but since you asked, I personally would not put a trailer that only had a dinette and/or an East West bed on any 5 best list when there are just so many other trailers like your Jayco JayFeather 199 MBS and the Wildwood Heritage Glen Hyper-Lyte 20 BHHL that offer a far more versatile and complete package?

    If Lance trailers weren't so expensive, the 2185 would be an option. I know their quality built but paying $20K-$30K more for something similar that Rockwood or a Freedom Express does is difficult to conceive.
    Is there any manufacturer with a similar features than the Lance 2185? Split bath, cargo door, triple bunk beds, roof rack and the convertible sofa/queen bed?

    Define under 30'? We sold our Rockwood Roo privately and purchased at 2021 Alpha Wolf 26DBH-L and it's 31' and change, but they're including the rear rack and spare. I took that off and put the spare under the lower bunk through the storage door and knocked out the panel. I plan to box out the water heater next and secure the wheel/tire. I'm not sure why they didn't create more storage space, but I guess we don't need it for weekend warriors.
    It has less hitch weight than the Rockwood (with similar total dry weight) that was on your/our short list, but this has a better layout with closed off bedroom and slide bigger to have a loveseat too.
    There are some others in the 24-26' range that are 28-30' total that others may like too and still be half ton towable.
    I wish Grand Design made a 2600BH, 28 is too big. Cougar too. And Passport in the GT series with nice front cap. Don't these companies know we're not all driving F250/2500 trucks and have mortgages and other bills with to pay with having kids but we have the funds to buy nice things? Make more BHs that an Expedition/Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban or F150/1500 can tow.
