Definitely one sink and more counter space.
Could even have a slightly bigger sink that way on the one side
I am fine with 2 sinks, the wife can have her own sink
This might just be the best layout I've ever seen in a couple's camper, it's perfect. It's just too bad that it wasn't built 5 years ago when campers were better manufactured.
The flexibility of being able to eat at the breakfast bar or theater seating is awesome👍one bathroom sink is fine for the vast majority of us that don’t have to share the bathroom with their partner at the same time😂and no TV and a plastic toilet is just plain cheap😩
One sink. More storage. We like dinette for playing cards at night
100% agree
I couldn't go any longer in a camper so got a 22rb, I had to choose recliners OR U-dinette. I know the U dinette isn't all that comfy, BUT for the same reason you just mentioned...I like for the time you might want to gather and play cards. If I want to 'lounge' and watch TV, I drop the U dinette into 'bed mode' (which this particular U dinette is HUGE = 1/2 kind bed!) and it is fine.
Our dinette is a catch all. I threaten to remove every time we use our TT. Waste of space for us.
The lagoon table would live in my garage and a single, larger sink in the bath would be preferred. Love the window in the bedroom!
TY Rick
I don’t remember ever seeing such a big window in the bathroom! 👍
Really opens up the space
@@JoshtheRVNerd Not that it’s a small space, compared to others. A nice, non cramped bathroom is always a good thing.
@@bryana1942nice COMMODE ROOM especially for BAZOOKA BUTTS LIKE ME 😂💣🚽💥💥💥💥
I really like the layout! Nice to see something different. To answer your questions:
1. I am fine with choosing my own TV. Good way to keep costs down.
2. The bathroom...while the double vanity certainly isn't necessary for us, there's something visually pleasing about the symmetry. Love the storage too!
3. Lose the Lagoon table and use the bar.
4. Kitchen storage is lacking, which is the biggest drawback to this unit.
5. Nice awning!
6. Love the kitchen outside.
7. Overall, this is a nice package!
Side note: I was recently locked out of the camper and had to climb into the pass-through storage and climb up the laundry chute, which was no easy task. 😮 My friends came to watch the show. Slightly embarrassing, but I got in. Lol. Thanks for the videos, Josh.
Twice when I was younger my parents had to shove me thru a window
@@JoshtheRVNerd 😅
Thanks Nerd! I need the lagoon table. But I would potentially investigate trimming the arm. I am not a fan of 2 bathroom sinks, would rather one large as is possible for the space and more counter space. I love the big back bathroom. I like the additional to Bish's line up, I think it was a great decision.
awesome ty so much!
Perfect smaller RV for a couple. For weekends.
TY!
Absolutely amazing floor plan! Dear Rockwood…love to see this made by them. Aluminum frames and azdel would seal the deal for me!
Man I could see it!
This really isn't VERY different from a 2511S in a lot of ways
Josh, since you asked....Yes, I leave my grey water valve open all the time. When we are ready to leave the campground, I close it, and open the black water valve. Yes, I do have a black water flush, which I use.
I like the camper. I agree with you, I like a drawer or 2 in the kitchen area for spoons, forks and knives. More counter space in the bathroom. No need for 2 sinks there. His and hers tooth brush cabinets is cool.
Ty David
I’d like to see a televator on the wall end of the island with expanded overhead cabinet into the current TV space.
I’d love for a way to put that screen I. Front of the breakfast bar to use as a large monitor for my laptop.
I love the floor plan and interior color. It's a lot of space.
I do too. Ty!!
For the utensils get an inder upper cabinet thingy.
ooooh.. I like that idea
That’s almost the perfect couple’s camper. A great contender for the Cougar 22RBS.
They could put a door from the outside to the bedroom. Also, it needs a porcelain toilet to make it a prime pooping position. (Sorry, that one was for the boss.)
😂
I will have a better chance to sell my wife on the idea of RVing when retired if the bathroom is similar to a small apartment bathroom and this RV nailed it.
Love this model!
Love the big bathroom, window, closed Storage- but one sink for more counter space.
Kitchen, I need regular oven, drawers a must. Storage for food up table for games, not mounted and regular queen for walk around space. NICE!
Thanks for sharing!!
Sup Josh! This would be perfect for me as a solo nomad. With all the cargo weight allowed, I would take out the second sink in the bathroom and DIY mod the bathroom with a combo washer/dryer and make a pantry above it. Also, take out the microwave/stove top and install an oven. Other than that, it's awesome! Keep the vids coming! Take care and peace!!!
TY! I'm glad to see how many people like these
Nice rig but agree on all your thoughts on TV hardware, bathroom sink, lack of struts on cabinetry, no need for dinette with breakfast bar etc. nice big window but in the bathroom and lacking light on camp side as you mentioned Josh. Still some cool layout work here! Thanks for the review 👍🏻
One thing I would love a sofa bed though because it's for me and my adult son
Try this one m.czcams.com/video/75xhQ1zVhDY/video.html
One sink in the bathroom with a larger counter and drawers underneath would be nice
The size of that bathroom is amazing. Love the whole layout.
Love the interior color
aesome ty
Love the size of the bathroom and shower; prefer one sink and more counter space. King size bed - yes! No to the two hookups. As always - very informative!
Thanks for sharing!
Very impressed! Love the kitchen. the kitchen has decent storage in it. Love the color in it. Not a fan, that it does not have drawers in it. The cabinets are great. hate that does not have a oven.. Love the huge window in the bathroom. never seen that before. Don’t like the plastic toilet, wish it was porcelain. the bedroom storage is great like the bedroom. Love the huge window in the bedroom.. Big fan of the bathroom. Wish this camper had strongs in it. Over all this brand it is ok. Thank you Josh!
I like having the option of eating at the bar and a dinette setup. I also like the 2 sink option with separate medicine cabs. The bedroom window is nice as well.
ty
I like the lagoon table. If I’m watching tv I like a space to set my snacks without getting up.
👍🏻
Same
This looks great. I like the look out the bathroom window believe it or not... Curtains can be easily closed when in use but the light in through the bathroom window is great. For the bathroom sink, I definitely prefer only having one. Put it in the center under the mirror and give counter space along side both sides of the sink so you have more room for her crap on the one side and you have less clutter getting into your side. One sink also means only one trap to deal with and one faucet to have leaking, etc... Less problems.
Regarding the TV, I would like to see one TV come from the dealership/manufacturer but I certainly like the idea of including the mounts rather than just a backer plate. Install the mounts and then let the customer use them as they please. But one nice travel safe TV in the main area, that can also be used for computer monitor and smart TV would be great.
The ladder hookup for the extending ladder is perfectly fine and in fact would be my preference. Coming from the ground to the ladder seems like a better choice for fat guys. LOL...
Lastly, the Y connecter isn't a bad thing. But neither is dumping once every couple of days. I have in the past just let the gray water run out because I had a washer in the previous rig. For that reason I didn't like to run the washer unless we were connected to the sewer and had the valve open. But moving the hose to dump the black, and bath gray then reconnecting to the kitchen gray to rinse everything out isn't a big deal. Just part of the process.
All in all, I kind of like this little guy.
Pat
One larger bowl bathroom sink with much more counter space is in order here. Overall, love this, love this, love this. I could see myself in this one here. I certainly appreciate how they are trying to save costs on this and they did very well, but there is room for improvement. I don't even mind the little cubby hole storage with no magnetic holds. 2 drops underneath is a little much, but doable for the grey/black drops. 30 gallon tank propane or more should be the industry standard now, just a thought here.
Great move not having a dinette. That layout is probably the best i have seen.
Wow ty
Love the layout in this. Dining for 4 is always welcome, just don't plan on staying the night :) Yes, you need the table with living room seating, although it could be shorter. Show me who doesn't eat in front of the TV. Gotta have pneumatic arms for those cabinets. Not a fan of the "hard-to-get-to space behind the fridge. Otherwise, a great rig!
I love so many things about this, but the deal breakers are the lack of oven and not enough pantry space. Love the dining bar and the bathroom is fantastic. The shelves behind the refrigerator are wonderful.
Check the links to similar models. Different builders all have their own "spin" on it
I'd love to see the Ozark toy hauler models if you get a chance to take a look at one.
Thanks as always for your Hard work Josh!
I have one or two coming. Ty
I started to slow clap when I saw the bathroom storage doors but sadly stopped when I saw the useless double sink…
I watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks when I was stationed in the UK and they still haven’t replaced all the painted over signs!
Wow!
@@JoshtheRVNerd I forgot to mention that I would love to see this as an Ibex/NoBo with the Curt suspension! Would be a great Ember contender!
I like this trailer, one sink, great bathroom counter space is hard to find.
A great single person Rv
I could see that
I really like it! We own a slightly larger Forest River couples trailer and love it so much. If I had to change one thing about this one I'd add drawers in/near the kitchen.
Thanks for the tips!
Good video Josh
Josh does have a gift! 😊
Ty Chris!
Another great video.
I like this trailer, but it's too heavy for my 2019 Tacoma.
Access to the refrigerator would be nice, but I think access to the bathroom is the most important.
Also very nice space in the bathroom barn door and all
Now I wish I could find a tiny home laid out like this. I’d go with a smaller bed, one sink and a washer dryer combo in the tiny home. But for traveling home I like it as it is.
You asked about the dinette table. I agree it should be lower, but like it for rainy day games and eating while dining.
Ty
I like it.
Right away I love that half wall between the bedroom and the kitchen very nice
Thank you! 😊
We keyed our bays to our RVLOCK door keypad. 751 is also common in network cabinets, so us techs have a pocket full.
Nice big bathroom for a smaller RV. One sink more counter space.
ty
I really want utensil drawers…..most important!! I didn’t love the kitchen in our camper, but at least it had three drawers, and the above cupboards had top and bottom sections. I don’t mind looking for solutions to problems, but some things are necessary
Thanks for sharing!!
I sat in one of these at an RV show this year and was pleasantly surprised at the fit and finish of things. The indirect accent lights really add a lot to the ambience.
That’s good to know. Ty
Nice Floorplan. Just wish it had pantry closet. A closet slide in the bedroom would be nice.
Silverware drawer is not a deal breaker for me. When we are weekend warrior campers with our big group, we use disposable utensils mostly. This doesn’t really seem like a full time RV, in my opinion, so it shouldn’t be a problem for most folks. We use small stackable containers in some of our cabinets anyhow, so that is always an option. Beautiful unit though! Stinking double sink!! Please keep showing road mode! #nerdherd
definitely one sink
that's my preference as well
My favorite thing about this model is where fuse box is located.
At first glance i liked this model alot but the more i looked the less I liked.
I love the tall toothpick window. Single sink, more counter space.
Good thing it has a large cargo capacity. Look at the size of the tanks. Hope they beefed up that frame a little.
Gvwr couldn’t be that high without a frame to support it
Love the layout. Could be a heavy RV for its length. Have to be careful with the storage. It’s well within my truck limits empty while quite a bit over if it were full.
At 2:12 the Ascent↗ decal is descending↘ 🤔🤔🤔
Depends on how much I've had to drink and which way my head is leaning
Great job Nerd like always. He are my 2 bits.
One sink in the bathroom. Extra counter space by the toilet
No lagoon table. Have an adjustable folding table instead.
No TV. I purchase TVs I can use as a monitor.
This is another good floor plan for construction job site office / break room. 🤠
TY for taking the time to watch and share! I appreciate it
Great layout. I'd rather pick out my own t.v.
ty
VERY NICE!!!!!! Sadly I will need to look pass this one, again my Taco is nice but this would pull the back off lol😂 Keep up the great work on showing us great trailers!!!!
It's awesome you understand that though. Good for you
EXACT TT I've been looking at and truly my goal to get!!! & Thank you for the tip on throwing in the back ladder! I really love your whole walk through now I'd just like it brought to Akron, Ohio Camping World 😉
I mean we can deliver it for you!
1 sink.
I like the looks of this one but I like the weight and 19.6 size of mine and then my yearly camping trip with a buddy is like, who gets to sleep on the floor. But seeing this video and layout might have me start looking to see if a similar but small version is available.
Nice floor plan. I don’t need two bathroom sinks, I don’t need a tiny refrigerator outside, I don’t need a king bed. I can provide my own Tv if there is a marked mounting location, I would like a propane oven. I would like wiring prep for a vent fan of my choice.
I totally agree!
I don't mind the dual sink since you can access it. I don't have a lot of stuff to put on my bathroom counter.
I really enjoyed this one
But I don't like the pointless cabinet door to the right of the stove
Ty! It was a pleasant surprise
Agreed, I don’t need the table, when they have the bar to eat at. The double sink is not necessary, but the counter space is very appreciated. I need somewhere to do my hair/makeup. When there is no counter space in the bathroom, where do I put my flat iron/blow dryer?
And I’m here with no hair like “not a problem” 😆
Very nice! Cant wait for others to copy this one. Road mode is an issue. I like being able to load the fridge before we leave and then unload it when we get home.
That is very handy
I like open living floor plans better than closed off bedrooms...
I have a Jayco 22rb. I love it, but was actually looking for something with recliners AND a place to sit with private bedroom, but at the time I was shopping, that was a tough find (so I went for the U dinette only option) in a shorter camper...until NOW. WOW! This camper, for me, is nearly perfect. I'd miss my big pantry, though. I think they could use the area in the bathroom where they have the useless second sink and instead add a tall cabinet there, for towels,.then take a couple shelves out of that cabinet next to the shower and use it for broom, etc. I have the ginormous single sink countertop in my 22rb and have to admit, it's A LOT of space for 'just' a bathroom countertop.
I'm glad people are liking this one. I think it's a surprisingly good offering out there with the potential to improve further
Lagoon table IS too high. Probably wouldn't use it much.
Only need 1 sink in bathroom. Would appreciate the extra counter space more.
LP ovens aren't that great. Inaccurate heating. Bar seating is nice.
Totally pretty and usable camper for its size.
Thanks Josh for another
great showing. ❤❤
My pleasure!
One sink! Who washes up at the same time with someone in a cramped bathroom? I like the shower storage. I’m in the market for a couples camper and I need storage. Also need complete access while traveling across country and stopping, perhaps overnight at a rest stop.
I agree on the sink. Ty
No dinette, table option I like, agree with fixing the height. I'd rather pick my own TV's. Get rid of double sink, I'll take the counter space in a bathroom any day. Camper outside speakers always sound like tin cans, if a company would spend a bit $$ to have decent sound it would be awesome.
My husband and I could literally do without that table. P.S., We'd have to talk about the ladder and changing those locks. For us, it's between the IBEX with the great curt shock systems and this RV. Thanks for narrowing down our selection.
that curt suspension is 100% legit and worth the hype btw
We also agree on the Curt product:)
I was leaving my gray valve open all the time because of small holding tanks. Then I seen ants in my RV & next to my septic out let on the ground. Figuring that was how ants was getting in I closed gray tank😊
Sheesh, I used that McD's reference 2 vid's ago. Kinda scary. We might be hanging out together too much!
ARE you lovin' it?
Personally, I'm not a fan of this brands build quality, but I'm always impressed with their designs.
Totally fair. Ty
How about a sink cover for one of the bathroom sinks to use it for counter space?
Smart
Outback used to do that years ago
Nice layout, comfortable size. The CCC is impressive!
Bathroom- 1 sink is good. I'd put additional storage on part of that counter, a large cupboard to store larger items, like extra linens, blankets, coats or extra clothes. Or anything, really. It would be much more useful.
I like the Laguna table. I would use the couter to have a meal, unless I wanted to watch tv. But I might use the table for games, cards, rainy day crafts...I want the option. I'd also like to see an option for a tri-fold in case there is a guest.
I do not like the idea of other people having the ability to get into my rv because of a common key. Why is that? Wouldn't that cause break-ins? Is it possible to add/replace with a specific key lock?
Locks are replaceable
Love this floor plan, definitely one sink, couple kitchen drawers, also would be happy with queen bed, and I prefer couches without the center arm rest.
Would love if IBEX or Ember made this layout, with their off-road packages OR Ozark had an off road package with the beast suspension and 600W+ solar
That would be awesome
I had to double check the title because the floorplan looked like an Ember? you'd just done. 😅
I like this floorplan and agree the lagoon table isn't necessary. It would be nice if they put some drawers behind doors though.
Initial impression is a very sharp, livable decor. Light, bright upholstery. Those 2 bar chairs are too intrusive into the entry space. Smaller stools would be appreciated. All of the stickers on the entry wall are an eyesore that immediately detracts from the otherwise chill ambiance. For me, good ambiance outweighs many less attractive issues. There does need to be reading lights, even little flexible lights mounted to the cabinet walls on either side would be great. Theater seat table definitely needs to be lower or adjustable. Nix the second sink absolutely and replace the remaining sink with a larger one. Very nice start.
ty
Man, if you're gonna do outdoor speakers, this is the way... I like this trailer a lot. Also, in a "budget" sensitive model like this, no thanks on the TV. Maybe use the budget for a stock heated LiFePO battery instead of lead acid? I don't understand the sewer plumbing on this one.
Being 6' 10" tall, I love the fact that some smaller rigs are being made with 7' ceilings. I don't like the thought of having to tow a small house around the country just so I can have a tall enough ceiling.
I generally like this floor plan because they fit most of the essentials into a small package. I spotted several areas that I would probably do a little DIY tweaking to improve things but I can see the manufacturer tried to include plenty of features for this price point.
I do agree that the bathroom only needs one sink. The Lagoon table would make a nice computer desk, but it should be a bit lower. I'm thinking it wouldn't be too hard to DIY a couple drawers in the kitchen, but having one or two from the factory would be good.
Overall, I like it.
Thank you Big Guy!
Ohh hell yeah check out that MMEGA XL COMMODE ROOM for the BAZOOKA BUTT blasting 💣🚽💥💥💥 definitely lose the second sink for extra counter space and a megaphone 📣 😂. Josh you're the best 👍🍻
Ty!!
I would like separation between under bed and outdoor storage. Only need 1 sink in bathroom. I like the table by the recliners but needs to be shorter. Needs a bigger refrigerator. Smaller bed so it is not against the wall. I don't like the tall window in the bedroom. Love the option of exterior walls. Should always include ladders. Tie the 2 gray tanks together.
I'd love more brands to crossplumb grey tanks
One sink please. I don't love the skinny bedroom window, and I open my grey only when taking a shower. It stays closed a day or two before we leave so I have rinse water for the black tank. #RVNerdHerd
I don't like the dual tank spouts. I do leave my Grey tanks open all the time and it works great
Ty for the info!
It is very nice for sure but I would like an actual oven myself just because I would not always be camping at a park and 200 watts is is not enough for running a microwave so if I'm not plugged in or using a generator I can't really cook. I do always like that you give the way you give the good with the bad though.
No amount of solar runs a microwave
Solar only charges batteries. Thats it
Inverters can run microwaves off battery power
Really nice how the bathroom isn't between the kitchen and the bedroom
Glad you like it :)
Josh,
Nice coverage of this very nice camper. I don't see the link for your video on the various skin construction methods.
I see the two sinks in the bathroom and wonder "why" when the mirror is only covering the center of the counter. Save some money on the second sink and put in some struts, both would be more useful.
Here you go czcams.com/video/R8BE2f8bd5o/video.html
Such a perfect layout! Only problem I have with it is the stinky little bedroom! Is there another model just like it only a few feet longer? Love that the microwave is BELOW the cooktop so short people like me can use it safely. The walk i n rectangular shower and double sinks are the bomb! And that big window.....just just that small bedroom and the bed looks to be too high too
I can’t think of one similar with a bigger bedroom
I never leave either tank open on my rig because it backfired on me
However I like this unit lagoon table not needed for me personally also I think I separate door for the utility station would be great instead of leaving it all opened
It's not something I like to do or suggest either
Bathroom sink layout is weird - IMHO better design would be floor to ceiling closet (maybe combo W/D prep) with 1 larger sink. Did I see the fresh water tank fill on the camp side all the way around by the door? Receiver for cargo rack would be nice - those underbelly storage doors don't look very tall. Small exterior storage cubby near rear for water/electric hoses would be nice. Overall a cute little couples "getaway" unit. Thanks Josh.
Thank you for watching!
How about a 2nd door instead of the camp side Full Length Flasher window in the bedroom? Other than that the only change I'd make is add a sink/dishwasher combo and space out the axles a bit front and rear. Mostly nailed it though!
*edit* No real reason for two bathroom sinks. Here's a thought, why haven't bathroom sinks that sit on top of the counter caught on with rvs? I've seen a couple and it seems like it makes sense to open up the undersink area for stowage while still providing many options for function and or fashion.
Thanks Nerd!
Personally, I find vessel sinks a royal pain in the backside to keep clean. A bit like open shelving--more cleaning for the same amount of use. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But I live in the low desert, which tends to be dusty by definition. Beautiful, but dusty! :-)

@@AtelierTeale Thanks for the feedback! I've never owned a vessel sink, also didn't know they were called that even, lol. I like the bowl on the counter look, but see how that could introduce nooks and crannies to gether dust and or grosser stuf than dust!
Is the axles above or below the leave springs?
Apologies I didn’t check

#RVNerdHerd 🎉 😊 🎉
Very nice. The second bathroom sink is unnecessary, I’d rather have more storage. I feel like the kitchen has some missed opportunities in the configuration
Thanks for the tips!
Hi Uncle Josh! Hope all is well with you and your family my dear friend! I actually LOVE the layout of this unit for it being only 26' in length. The neck choking / neck slashing lagoon table can go PRONTO
TY TY TY once again my friend
1 sink in bathroom, move the outdoor kitchen to the back, then kitchen drawers. Do not like the under bed storage connected to pass through. Chairs seem in the way at the counter, but a great idea. Do think the removable table is a good idea, but wish it was two individual tables like Rockstaff.
Thanks for the tips!
📺 should be included. 25' shorter just the main TV. Greater or bunk houses should have one in the main bed and living area
ty
I'd get rid of the skylight in the shower. Its a unneeded leak point given the very good ceiling heights.
👍🏻
