After over a dozen years of looking at campers I thought I knew exactly what to expect when I first walked up to this travel trailer.. but I am GLAD to report it surprised me right from the start!!
East to West RV took a familiar concept and elevated in ways I did not expect. The bedroom, taller ceiling, and heated belly were not things I am used to seeing on a no-slide "stick and tin" style camper. The docking station was similarly a pleasant find!!

Very impressive for around $24,000. A porcelain toilet, a TV, a sofa, a 3 burner stove with oven, tinted windows, a 12 volt fridge, etc. Still would like to see a ladder and some solar, but the standard features in this price range exceed those of Cherokee, Wildwood and many other manufacturers👍👍👍
It has a few things I really enjoyed myself. That bed was really a surprise
Interesting! I saw this brand at my storage, had never heard of it before. This is probably my favorite take on this no-slide floorplan. King bed. Nice bath. Wet bay. Ducted air. Enclosed underbelly. Two and a half thumbs up on this one.
Having a friend with a newer wolfpack that is 'missing' a few cabinet doors, I completely agree that the lack of cabinet doors is a miss. After a few trips with items on the floor upon arrival, he added bungee nets. He curses the design every time I see him hahaha.
One thing I would like to see is a window in the door. Campers that are missing that just look so plain.
*Edit* - I just saw the price on this one. Now it's three thumbs up!
Yeah wolf pack does some similar open cabinet stuff. I've never been a fan. I'd be adding the same netting your friend did I think
Also look up the 230 rb, same size , no slides , giant bathroom and bigger dinette
I like this floor plan. It’s hard to find a no slide, no Murphy bed travel trailer under 24ft. I mean it’s doable but I wish there were more no slide options.
Jayco and Cherokee also make versions of layouts like this if you'd like something to compare against and a few more options to review:
→ Jayco 212QB: bit.ly/3ihptEf
→ Grey Wolf 20RDSE: bit.ly/3Gf0db7
Actually, was 28'1". I do dislike Murphy beds too. Hate being able to use bed OR sofa not both at same time.
We are in the same boat, wish more manufacturers did airstream style floor plans.
I’m more impressed with this than I thought I would be. They should do a folding counter extension near that door though.
Really REALLY like that idea
on the list of what i like. not over the top or complicated. big bathroom a plus. liked dining layout and kitchen. an opening kitchen window preferred.
I chuckle every time you say “I don’t hate this, but…” You did a great job presenting a balance approach and reminding people that this is an entry camper. Not sure of pricing, but it feels like (personally), it would be better off spending a little more for something that should last a long number of years. And agree - those sharp edges on the bed would absolutely be a head-knocker!
There are some things I flat out don't like. Then there are things that are just personally preferential. I try to make sure people understand that I'm sharing a personal opinion rather than trying to present it as "FACT" which I don't feel is right
At least.. that's what I'm TRYING to do lol
@@JoshtheRVNerd no question. And we appreciate you sharing your opinion from years of experience!
I heard of this brand but never seen videos on them. Nice camper and has everything you need. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
IT HAS BEGUN!!!!! And by that I mean the fruits of the transition. Cool to see new brands and layouts. This isn't for me because I'll never not have a slide again but it's still a decent layout. Looking forward to more.
:):):):)
Don't know that I've ever seen that layout. Very interesting. Honestly, this would be great for like a solo outdoorsman. You have a comfy king size bed. You won't have to squeeze past anyone because you're alone. Have a couch to watch TV and nice table/ workspace. Don't have to hassle with slides. Good size bathroom. Not bad but kind of niche.
Jayco and Cherokee also do some good versions of this with their own spins and flair you can see at

→ Grey Wolf 20RDSE: bit.ly/3Gf0db7
Hello Josh, I am surprised you didn't mention changing the dinette table. If you did it could slide towards the couch a bit. That would make it easier for cards or eating.
It's really cute.
"Easy breezy cover girl"

As a current owner of a 230RB Della Terra I can tell you these are quality trailers. They are so well built and offer one of the only small trailers with a King bed. We love ours which is bigger than this one but we have had it for over a year now and have taken it everywhere we can as often as we can and we love it!
THANK YOU for sharing this. Appreciate Input from owners so much
Which model do you own?
@@nancydonahue7277 WE own the 230RB
It's nice to see a new to you brand. I think it offers a few nice, unexpected features for being a stick and tin. Not bad at all.
PLENTY more new stuff coming this year as well :)
I really like the plain decor! Very easy to dress up and personalize but the subtle touches like the chevron floor keep it from being too bland while the light looks helps keep it from feeling too enclosed. I love that both the sofa and dinette fold out - perfect! I love that kitchen sink, but it definitely needs a chop board cover if it’s going to be that big in that small of a space, to give additional sandwich assembly space. So many quality details at such an affordable price point! For the price and quality in what is there, I’m willing to overlook a few drawbacks.
A flip up counter extension or something would work nicely here as well i think
Hey, everybody!
Heya DIane!
Excellent little rig for what it is.
I could see adding a plexiglass splash guard between the stove top and the dinette.
👍
Good call!!
"I don't hate this" - RV Nerd Certified
😂 Just kidding. This is well done for an entry level no slide model.
Not quite #nerdpreferred perhaps but also not something I would turn down were it offered to me
I like all the storage, the place for a larger trash can, the size of the bathroom but I would prefer the bathroom to be at the opposite end to the bed. I don’t like the narrow space between the kitchen and the bathroom. I realize that there are downsides to placing the bathroom where I suggest but for me it beats the tight space this layout has in the middle.
We loved our 230 rb della Terra so much we bought an Alta kik when we needed a bigger camper
I keep hearing about that 230. I need to get my hands on one to see what the bus is about I think
@@JoshtheRVNerd I fully believe there is no better layout for a couples camper that likes to travel , with us living on the road for 6months at a time it didn’t work for us any more which is why we upgraded
The good year tire package is a forced option along with the good year spare tire option. No other tires standard or optional. Just GOOD YEAR!!! Awesome trailer for the money!!
TY. I'm new with East to West. several others on the grounds at the same time lacked goodyears. Based on what I know about supply chains I estimated it was related to that challenge
@@JoshtheRVNerd I'm the general manager for Della Terra. Let me know when you have some time to come down and check out our campus! Would be glad to show you around.
@@molds02 Thanks so much for chiming in! I always welcome any comments you and the team would like to offer answering questions/providing add'l info on your product(s)!
It’s nice to see this review, Josh. I’ve seen a few pictures of the East-West brand but not many video reviews. Thanks for the insight and your honest review.
My pleasure! Hope it was helpful :)
Their Alta stuff actually impressed me with a few things I didn't quite see coming
Some coverage of those coming soon as well too!
Nice to see some east to West stuff! Looking forward to the Alta KRK review.
I have that one coming actually!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd That's great! She's a real beaut and more cost effective compared to a Cougar for example. We almost went with one instead of the Cougar actually.
Very nice, a little crowded by the sink area. Looks like the dinette seats are a nice size. I agree, doors on the pantry and bathroom selves.
Thx Patti!! Hope you’re staying warmer than when we met lol
@@JoshtheRVNerd you too🥶
I feel you read my mind lol I'm always looking for which camper will be my first and was looking at this the other day, I see these alot as our local dealer has them and being in this unit before it feels more spacious in person, for the price I can't really complain yes there's small things like I think there should be a roof vent fan in the living area and doors on the storage which anybody with a screw driver could make cheap doors for, also the sewer will get destroyed if you get a front tire blowout, and the upper cabinet build mistake with it not perfect on the wall, which I noticed, but your the only salesmen ik that would mention that. But the higher ceiling, bigger AC, inclosed belly, docking station, tinted windows, etc... You really can't complain, it's a nice unit👍👍
As always our "take" on these is super similar. There's a few things I wish they did. Because of the price point they don't. But MOST of those things I wish they did are easy/low cost upfits I could handle in my driveway the 2nd day I owned it. Then you're good to go for the rest of your camping days
Sweet little no slide camper. I could see the toilet area being tight on my shoulders, I am not 2 axe handles wide but not small either. Having a king bed can be handy, it always seemed all the kids that said they would sleep in tents end up in a puppy pile on the bed and I ended up sleeping on the coach, but normally a smaller one is ok. Nice to see you get to branch out, cannot wait till you do a Super C. Stay safe and healthy, keep having fun.
It’s coming. Once this awful weather breaks I will really be able to kick things into a higher gear!
I own a 2021 Jayco 212QB - there are a couple advantages to the East West - smooth front cap, king bed, and enclosed cupboards over the bed. Other than that, I will take the Jayco. Bigger windows, no docking station taking up storage, there are more cupboards, bigger windows, more windows, and a double sink. The whole window issue is big! Thank you for presenting the other options.
It’s truly my pleasure. I feel like a kid in a candy store with all these new options available to me
Personally I am not a fan of this one. Key areas of concern:
1) The sink is right in front of the bathroom door. That is just a set up for a literal door knob up the buttox.
2) Only 1 window in the bedroom, sure there is the fan, but what about cross breeze?
3) For the size of the bathroom, that certainly is a tight fit, especially for the "generously proportioned" of is out there.
4) all that RV side and I feel they skimped on the Awning size.
5) lack of doors on some storage areas.
I really like that the king bed is standard. And the colors are beautiful. Just offering some constructive feedback since I know they do listen. :)
No this is great stuff Ty
Very nice looking with the light colors but seems very tight with space. The kitchen is nice except for no pantry doors. Bathroom is nice too with the big shower and counter space. The couch looks comfortable.
Notes-- great price point.
Would prefer the kitchen counter to extend farther towards the door for another cabinet and more counter. Would prefer a longer awning. Would prefer a door over the pantry. Would build and install it myself if it came to it.
LOVE the services docking station.
Is the roof walk-able? I can add a telescoping ladder if I need to.
All the things I wish were better, I can live with at this price point.
So, one thing to ask-- If the unit I want isn't available at the Bish's near me (Salt Lake City, in this case), can it be shipped or would that be extra cost or what? Thanks!
A kitchen counter overhang right there really would be nice wouldn't it.. good call on that. Maybe a flip-up extension at least?
Roof is walkable, yes.
And we can definitely move RVs between sister stores if you don't have one locally. I would recommend speaking with your local RV outfitter at that store for details and logistics!
Here I go remodeling again. I will rip out the one dinette bench closest to the stove. That will really open it up. I would keep the bench in the corner for storage. Just add a chair or two. I agree with you about the open pantry. We would add doors. I would paint the plywood under the bed.
I could see all that.. I like it :)
I really like the Della Terra. I think over time, East to West will be right up there with the competition. Not a fan of the king bed standard though. I think Jayco does it better. I do like the heated under belly though!
I do like how they make it pretty easy to swap that king out for a queen. That was a good decision
remove booth and put a hinged bar with fold up stools or just chairs.
Love it
Very surprised with some of the extras you would not expect. The herringbone pattern floor, front outside storage, tank flush. Very well thought out. Looking forward to reports on the East-West video on 5th wheels. Once again, nice and thorough video Josh, thanks.
I have some footage of an Alta travel trailer coming out soon. I only had a chance to get my hands in one but I saw it as a significant step up from the Dela Terra‘s here. I think their fifth wheels will largely be an alta that goosennex up in the bed and bath area I’ll confirm that when I actually get my hands on on
I like this as well as jayco model. More storage and windows. It has heated underbelly. Probably my next and hopefully last trailer
Awesome! Glad we could bring you some footage!!
I also meant to ask. What's under the other dinette chair?
@@georgenelson1530 Did I only show one side? I believe they're both storage.
For us 'older people', the larger bathroom is a great trade off for smaller hall way....I am only in the 'hallway' momentarily.
I wondered if someone wouldn’t feel that way about it
⚫I really like the decor of this one, not too "busy". (I don't like contrasting moulding or ceiling fixtures, for instance.)
⚫I agree that the pantry beside the fridge needs doors so that cans & glass bottles don't fall out when on the move. But the bathroom open shelving is ok, as you say rolled towels and tp aren't likely to fall out or be a hazard.
⚫I like the size of the bathroom, even if it does make the outer hall tight. It would be nice if the corner beside the fridge could be curved.
⚫In the bedroom I'd definitely down size the bed to a queen. As for those sharp corners on the side closets, they sell clear silicone corner protectors.
⚫I like that they went with the farmer's sink with high-rise faucet.
⚫I wish the window over the dinette was centered over the table, though.
Really nice trailer, looking forward to seeing more of this brand. 🙋🇨🇦
I really like the idea of making the bath wall beside the fridge a radius corner. It would really "soften" that transition nicely! Good call
Like the King Bed! Would like a slide out with open living space. I like the floor plan, but I think it needs a slide.
I will make sure I get my hands on a few of these with slides. Had a few requests
Some of it is very impressive, king bed , shower , heated belly good stuff plywood ,. Ac sets way back my thought. Not bad
What about the A/C don't you like, Steve?
@@JoshtheRVNerd well just thought the unit sat way back,, guess it makes no difference, I ain't no designer
Nice Package I like NO slides
Ok !! It is Josh!!
:)
Great layout finally
If you like this one, then you would probably like these as well
→ Jayco 212QB: bit.ly/3ihptEf
→ Grey Wolf 20RDSE: bit.ly/3Gf0db7
Ok this is REALLY surprising!
Like you said, there's some NICE things going on here. I'd probably rework the pantry with cubes or doors and put a bigger tv in. Theater seats could be nice.
Agreed! They nailed the bigger ticket items nicely
The little preferences I would like to see changed are generally easy and low dollar personal things
I have this floor plan in a colman, I like this bathroom better..
TY for sharing! I've not seen this from Dutchmen yet but perhaps later this year :)
5:20 I like it! Add 2 bunks over that couch and bam! Kid friendly
Super SUPER classic design idea there. It's funny how many RVs used to have convertible cabinet/bunks that lack them today. I really wonder why they phased those out
@@JoshtheRVNerd I suppose they just don’t like kids maybe?
You had me at king bed. Of course, I still sleep in a 12" wide corner of mine at home, and my four-year-old son has the rest. 👑
lololol I get that. We still have that issue with our dog. He's only 14lbs. A decent sized lap dog. and he occupies half a king bed
This is a very nice setup.
I was a little surprised at a few of those standout features
I can’t wait for all the new brands and floor plans!
Now that I am finally starting to branch out the excitement is getting real for me
I have the Jayco 212QB and they are similar. I like that this one has a couple of roof vents but I think with no windows on the passenger bedroom side would feel claustrophobic. This also is 2,000 pounds heavier than the Jayco which is more limiting on what you can tow it with.
About 1,400lbs more but yeah -- a chunk. Check the lengths -- that's a big reason why. Extending the RV in a couple of places (like the bedroom) quickly adds extra weight to the RV.
I agree with your review. It is a nice camper especially for the price. I think there should be a window in the door, if nothing else it is a safety thing. I’m thinking that narrow hall at the bathroom would be a deal breaker for me. I would have to get inside one to be sure.
Thx Jim! Appreciate the visit :)
Only complaint is only 1 window in the bedroom no cross breeze!
Not sure if they’ve updated that since
Going to enjoy seeing different brands. Never heard of East to West. Going to learn more about RVs.
This is exactly why I am so excited to have the flood gates opened. Can bring you nearly anything out there now :)
Josh! Please review the surveyors!!!
I actually managed to record a couple while I was there!! Stay tuned
I have a alpha wolf 22sw-l that type shower curtain makes it dark in the shower at night the light won't shine in
Interesting.. Ty for sharing.
If they made the dinette a 3 seater with the short side cut behind the oven, that would make for better space
Interesting…
Very interesting floor plan. Given it's even bigger than a typical NYC apartment, would work great for a single/couple excursion as a first RV. A big plus is you can take the Browns to the superbowl and do the dishes at the same time. LoL
Double Duty
Or double _doodie?_
2023 model added the door for the pantry. I just got the 2022 model, but at a great price.
Ah good to know! I haven't been seeing as many of these lately so haven't gotten a lot of updated footage
The floor plan has a lot of appeal a traveling couple wanting nice amenities but the simplicity of no slide outs. The duel axels, pass thru storage, light weight, anda decent amount of cargo capacity are great features. But, this floor plan in an aluminum welded frame and fiberglass bonded double azidale side walls would make for an awesome rig. These features might add cost, but they’d also significantly increased this trailer’s overall value. (in my opinion) Respectfully, W.S
I'm frankly asking freedom express to make exactly this camper in their SE series. It's a no-brainer winner in my mind
Enjoyed the Della Terra. Hopefully you can do a few more with the QB floor plans and eventually a factory tour? Thanks Josh
There’s SO much I want to record but only so many hours in the day. It’s tough when you can only be in one place at a time
I would remove the first bench and add a chair(s).
The washroom could be be smaller to allow for fluffier persons.
You’re the second person with the chairs vs bench idea. I really like it
Hi, I still love your reviews, thanks. This RV’s quality in not to the same standard as Jayco products in my opinion.
Uncle Josh maybe these cheaper smaller tt are way to go . We're definitely going to have to work on those COMMODE room sizes for us bazooka butts . Keep up the awesomeness .👍👍👍🚽😅
🍑 💥
Great excitement, Josh!
Hmmmmmm:(
This trailer reminds me of the Springdale trailer.
Very similar class and category for sure
this price is actually amazing on this camper. Seems to be alotta bang for the buck.
:)
Great video
Thanks!!
Im curious I love pretty much everything about the new camper design but what I've been noticing there aren't any leveling bubbles on sides of RVs anymore.
Those aren’t something new rvs have included for a while. Very easy to add on
I actually just use my phone for leveling
Love this floor plan especially if you are going to spent most of the time outside. Not having a window in the door is great. Add a curtain between the bathroom wall and the entry door and you would have an awesome space to get dressed while keeping the king bed. Also if you have a guests or kiddos sleeping in back it will give you some privacy. The back has so much potential to be modified desk, L-shaped lounge, recliners.
Totally agree! I think this is a great desk-capable layout. I'd LOVE to see something like a "bar" against that window rather than a dinette. It could easily double as a desk space.
I still laugh at the Doug joke every time!
It’s so dumb. I love it
Love this layout...but (you knew there had to be a 'but,' right?)...wood frame? Why does anyone still use 'stick and tin?' It's not the aluminum siding I have an issue with, it's wood framing! Wood rots...RV's leak (some on day one, but eventually most if not all leak). Ok, onward with my 'review review.'
The good:
Great layout!
Great pass-through.
Power tongue jack, docking station
Love the lighter decor and nice to see
no white and black cabinets!
Kudos for the little side-pockets by the
head of the bed! I hate seeing full ward-
robes with noplace for your glasses or
cellphone.
The bad:
Is that axle bent? Looks bent.
No window in entry door. Just doesn't look
right.
Incandescent marker lights?
I would have centrally located the AC unit.
They could have, and should have used
magnetic door-catches if not struts on the
cabinet doors.
No power outlets at the head of the bed.
they put the nice 'nightstand' pockets there
but forgot to provide a way to charge a phone
etc.
Non-opening window above the sink.
12V fridge...@$%!/:!
The pantry, as you pointed out, needed doors.
Looks unfinished.
Curtain instead of a solid wall/pocket door
in the bedroom.
They should have left out the snow! 😁
Summary:
Would I buy this if it fit my needs and I was in the market for this size unit? No. The deal-killers for me are primarily the wood frame, 12V fridge (and not even an included solar package), the lack of power at the head of the bed, and yesterday's technology marker lights. The other things I had pointed out wouldn't have been a deciding factor for my 'I'll pass' decision, I could have accepted them, but there are simply too many big things that did. Really is a nice floorplan but they came up short, almost like they gave up 3/4 of the way through.
As always, great review, appreciate how you do it, and pretty cool to see you at one of the other locations too. Looking forward to seeing more Rockwood (and also Flagstaff now) videos soon. Take care, keep warm! 😁
Thank you for taking the time to write all of this up. There’s actually some interesting benefits to stick and 10 campers that I don’t think a lot of people acknowledge and realize.
Not only are they less costly but in the event you need to do some work on them they’re far far easier to work on as compared to laminated RVs.
Both laminated and sticking to RVs have the same seals on the roof and basically require the same upkeep. But if there ever was water able to penetrate in one area of the RV that did some thing like affect the sidewall, and a stick and tin trailer could be rebuilt to factory spec. A laminated RV requires an entire wall to be replaced. It’s not a small project obviously
Laminated RVs most certainly have their own set of benefits as well. Which one is best for an individual client really depends on their preferences, budget, and a few other factors
@@JoshtheRVNerd good point, I didn't think of that.
why is it that some manufactures do not have opening windows typically near kitchen sink? besides the grease grabber mentioned in video?
Likely a cost vector if I had to guess. Especially since it's more common in the more affordable campers
13:00 why not a sliding/pocket door on the bathroom? Plumbing can go on the opposite side if that’s the problem
I like that idea. A lot actually. It makes a lot of sense here.
As to "why not" I suspect there are two answers:
1.) Sliding hardware is more expensive and this is a cost-sensitive market segment
2.) They likely don't use that hardware elsewhere in the facility where these are purchased so it's not available to them here
I cannot speak on the behalf of East to West but I feel pretty confidently in those responses based on my experience
I can't wait to see how big your bucket is.
If like the brand and colors.. try sister travel trailer Della terra 230RB
Will definitely check that out when I get the chance. Thx for the tip :)
I had a 2021 East to west 27KNS and liked it for our first rv but there were some issues with it one after another. We decided to trade it in for a Jayco j flight 267BHSW and have had a much better experience with that. Not saying East to west is bad but the one we had was made at the height of COVID so I think it was just put together too fast without good QC.
Sorry to hear that. Ty for sharing!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd by the way I appreciate your videos. Always informative and transparent.
I’d rather have a smaller bathroom, and more floor space in hallway. Spend more time in the hallway hopefully, not in the can
Fair logic
Not bad at all.
I was surprised. Had a few things that made me go "Meh" but also had 4-5 really nice surprises you don't usually see from one of these
Jayco 212QB: bit.ly/3ihptEf
→ Grey Wolf 20RDSE: bit.ly/3Gf0db7
Is there a heat vent back in the sofa/dinette area? Is this available with a outside grill and factory solar package? Thanks for all your help!!!
Hi James! Been a while since I recorded this (over a year I think!) so I don't recall exactly where all the vents might be located
There is no exterior grill option but they are now offering a small factory solar package. 100w I think?
Hummm okey dokey good for us with mobility issues however would definately need a change in the living area. I'd go with two a recliner rocker chair & chair w storage ottoman and a movable table w 2 chairs.
Kitchen change the easy bake oven & a window that opens. Screen on sink side.
Pantry make slide out would cut the shelf back a few inches to put on a folding accordion door with shelves for easy pantry. ☺
Bedroom workable since just used for sleeping.
Rather have window on the entry door with screen door.
IF the folding camp kitchen would fit in the pass thru then the outside water/propane quick connect would work.
Will never need or want outside tv or speakers ☺
Bathroom 👍 (tho i like the lil tub)
Would definately put a door on open shelves.
Always refreshing ideas. TY :)
Btw - you had me at "Slide out pantry shelves"
I have the 212 QB. The hallway in this is a deal breaker. Other than that this is a nice camper.
Ty sir. It’s such a give and take when you have finite space to work with
Hey Josh how long are you going to be at the rv show in twin falls I would love to meet you !
Thurs thru sat!!
Hey Josh, although this is similar to the Jayco 212qb, which one do you think is better out of the two? Because I really like the floor plans of these trailers. Thanks!
If you forced me to choose one over the other, then I'd currently lean to the Jay Flight though man.. it's *CLOSE*
I feel Flight's overall fit and finish is a little superior ALTHOUGH the bigger bed on this one REALLY made this a tough call
Josh, what are your thoughts on quality control of this model? We looked at one locally and the fit and finish was awful, it made me rule it out. It looks so much like the Jayco SLX 8 212 QB?
Josh I am in talks with your Idaho Falls store on one of these. Thanks
That's awesome! I've not personally visited that store yet but I think i may plan a trip over there in the next month or two. Let me know how it goes or if you need me to get my cage rattling stick out :)
They have been awesome so far
@@georgenelson1530 Who've you been working with there?
His name iis Ethan. He's answered all my questions. Not only very courteous but Johnny on the spot also.
For a Rick and Ben this ain’t shabby.
..I don't know what's weirder -- the fact that I knew what you meant or the fact that I knew without us ever having had this conversation previously..
we are very new to the East to West campers. We just purchased a similar model. A note to you about the retractable shower door. We could not figure out how to get OUT of the shower once in. There is no release button on the inside of the door!! Are we missing something? could you enlighten us if we are?? Thanks
I have noticed that as well.. it feels like your only recourse is just to bang on it a few times until it opens or something lol
Not a fan of the tight hallway. Really like it otherwise. Make my cigar a blunt Unc. 🔥
Like you, I do not know much about this brand. I like how they have done things. I would make a few minor changes. But for the price, pretty good. Now here is the question, which may help many. You know what brands we are used to seeing. Build quality, could you give us something it is equal to.
Highly comparable to a Salem/wildwood
Frankly they used Salem/wildwood as a direct basis for these then applied their own ideas
They’re not actually “related” to S/WW but the inspiration is obvious to me
@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks.
I like it. But a little heavy for me
Do all these come with the 15000 AC? I found one online and it’s showing 13500 AC
It doesn’t have a stove hood that vents outside. Considering the kitchen window doesn’t open, is that something I should be concerned about?
It won’t harm the camper or anything but it will warm the rv more when cooking for sure
Thanks for the quick reply! I just was concerned about propane being used inside with no ventilation. But I think you cleared that up. Thanks for all you do!
I've been Wanting to ask, do the propane and battery covers lock So they can't be stolen????
Not by default. That would require some kind of aftermarket solution
14:18 is it one of those nifty ’self-cleaning’ retractable shower curtains⁉️⁉️🤔💭 then 👍🏽
I doubt it’s anything super fancy but I also didn’t look at it that closely
I've seen these type of RVs before but not 28 feet I dont think lol

17:01 my preference too‼️ 🏎 #PitCrew
For us non slide people, what is the largest travel trailer without a slide one can buy?
This is about it
This is a layout I could get in. Especially since it has such an attractive price! What a refreshing change since over the last year prices had gone ridiculously high. At first I was put off by the plainness of the look of the interior, but with a little personalizing and color, the interior would really look quite nice. I am not a fan of the missing pantry and bathroom cabinet doors however. And the sharp corners on the bottoms of the bedroom closets, but the storage pocket behind the drawers is quite nice. I suspect the cabinetry and the furniture on the inside is a bit less robust than some of the other brands you have on offer, but I am keeping in mind the price point. I prefer a window in the entry door not only for the natural light, but I also like to look through the window to check outside before I open the door. Just a Long ingrained habit I have. And it’s not going to change.
I like the suggestion of a desktop or bar in the dinette area. With a bar, you can look out the window while you eat. I would consider removing the seat next to the stove and redoing the table. I would also ad some sort of magnet or catch to hold the overhead doors above the couch open.
I personally like the king bed arrangement.
Outside, the unit is set up quite nice I think. The covered underbelly,the localized drains. I don’t care about or want a rear ladder. Since I tend to fall off ladders, I won’t be climbing one any time soon.
Can the suspension shackles be replaced or modified to drop this trailer 2 pr 3 inches?
I am not really satisfied with the looks of the side skirts.on the trailer. Something just doesn’t look right or looks a little bit off about them.
It would be nice if they had a option to choose a different color for the colored shin panels on the outside of the trailer, maybe a soft sky blue, canary yellow, rose red or moss green color choice.
I feel like we agree on this one. Ty for the visit :)
Oh, regarding the shackles - I didn’t look that closely but that’s an easy thing for someone who is on site with one of these to verify for you
Can you do a video on the rear bath version of this brand
Had a lot of requests for that. Will try to target one next time around
Grand Rapids? Congrats on putting the "travel" back into travel trailer!
I like the Grand Design-like little cubbies beside the bed.
You don't want that sharp thing jabbing you in the arm? I get it, some folks don't want to get vaccinated.
Covering the bare necessities... That reminds me of something that has stayed with me since high school English class - when writing, think of women's skirts. Keep it short enough to keep things interesting, but long enough to cover the essentials.
Grandmother's maiden name? Y'know, I don't even know that for one of my grandmothers.
Great video as usual, thanks for the info and the smiles! Congrats again on your first uploaded "away game" video!
On my way to twin falls to get more now!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd Have a safe trip!
Josh: In you response to Mr. Galletiy, you stated "we can definitely move RVs between sister stores". Please elaborate. Just within Michigan Bish outlets? Or nationwide? Just trailers and fifth wheels? Or motorized too? Any ball park on what the cost to the consumer might be? Any details you're able to share would definitely be appreciated by the nerd herd nation. Respectfully, W.S.
So that class C you have your eyes on - we don’t have them at the coldwater store. But we can work with/thru a sister Bish’s store for you to fulfill that request
I do not yet know the exact logistics - apologies there. It’s something I plan to make a video on once I know more about it
@@JoshtheRVNerd like they teach at command school, logistics is everything. Take your time and let us know more when you know more. A video on the logistics of store to store transfer, might even let you record inside a nice warm office. Respectfully W.S.
