Wow! This is absolutely my favorite 1/2 towable so far. I've seen about one hundred different models in the last 10 years of looking. This thing is sweet.
My 17 Silverado 1/2 ton could pull my winnebago 27bhss 6600 lbs, however the length and cargo capacity was a no go. Traded in for a F350 diesel, could have went 3/4 ton but now I can tow most tts and fifth wheels.
The only thing missing from this unit for me would be provisions for a Washer/Dryer combo unit. I'd love stackable, but I'd take a combo unit. I'm not a fan of laundromats.
It's something that isn't usually found in this size/segment due to the spacial demands it requires. The rear wall closet would in theory have enough space, but you cannot put a W/D unit on the rear wall due to the violence that area experiences in transit. The W/D companies won't cover it.
The good news: We don't pick and choose which ones to record, but rather I record *everything* that lands new and used. The better news: We did choose to bring the 31MBS into our trailer lineup. I think that thing is going to be sneaky good.
The slide fascia backer in this is simply not painted black like it is in a lot of RVs, though it is treated. Also, understand the VAST majority use an OSB type material (or the pressed sawdust variety) in this area. The focus of the Arctic Wolf is always "function first." There's nothing wrong with the material there. It's obvious when the slide is closed, but again it's treated and no different than anything else you might find (especially in this class/budget range). Once the slide is opened you'd never know it was there. It's purely an "eyeball" thing.
It's called off-gassing. *Nearly every freshly RV built* will do that. Most video hosts simply are not recording FRESHLY built RVs as soon as they land, so it's something that has often settled before you see them.
Sometimes what happens in the Northwest is the campsite could be on a slope or a hill. The "outside kitchen" could be unusable is some instances. Having it located in the middle/near the axles insures its usable regardless of the terrain. Strong work!
@@gregggammon2737 I don't think you're picturing the description. If the RV is leveled on a slope, then the camp kitchen can be difficult to use due to it either being too close to the ground or too high up.
Seems like it would fall within safe specs, though I'd always prefer to have one of our team member double check everything for you to ensure safety before the sale in return for the fair opportunity to earn your business at 800-256-5196
Another great Vid as always Josh. Question: Is Keystone using a new flooring material "similar" to plywood except all one piece? Thanks for any enlightenment you can give.
Depends on the specific Yukon in question and its capacities. Drop our team a note at www.haylettautoandrv.com/contact/ so they may reach out & learn more about your vehicle. Then, we can get you a more definitive answer.
Nice camper. Ballpark price? Has all the great features you need and like to have and doesn't weigh as much as the Queen Mary. Still concerned about my truck being able to tow it though. Been told my truck is between 6K to 7K. One would think that number could be better defined than that.
29'11" -- displayed right at the beginning. We have several of these + plenty of similar models from various brands all on active order and on the way. You can get an idea of what we'll have to offer at bit.ly/2OWGBku
I'm not super well versed in tow ratings on those. What I am able to find at a cursory glance indicates a 6600lb rating on that vehicle which means it is not a good match for this trailer. We put safety before the sale here and I'd rather shoot you straight on this vs. say something that puts your family in danger just to make a sale. There are similar models among our lineup that come in lighter in weight. Please consider speaking with a member of our team at 800-256-5196. In return for the fair opportunity to earn your business they can work to provide you with some safer alternatives.
Probably not. AT BEST a Canyon is rated for 7,000lbs i believe. With this unit being 6700lbs before battery/propane and ANY cargo.. I just don't like that pairing.
Would the roof support a Winegard Trav'ler Satellite Dish? Can that outside grill be switched out with a standard type (old fashion like me) burner cook top? Another Academy Award for a quality presentation Josh! Oscar is in the mail to you LoL!!!!
You don't usually see front bed fifth wheels with a rear bath. The consumer market has pretty much shown they don't want to go down stairs to use the toilet at night. Cougar does make a few smaller FWs you may like however. You can see them at Here: bit.ly/35gD9qB and Here: ruclips.net/video/F04BkEhQRqs/видео.html And... I suppose here: bit.ly/35EIwQC
It's basically a reworked/improved Minnie Plus i'm joking calling the Minnie Plus PLUS lol If a minnie plus and an eagle HT had a baby... then it would be the voyage.
@@JoshtheRVNerd Great, I've been wanting a full walkthrough like you do. There is a short, but promising video from a guy who goes by travelling Robert. He handed his mic to a Winnebago rep and let him do a short tour of the 27 footer, very impressive coach from what I've seen.
6720lbs -- mentioned at the very very beginning along with some extra specs posted at the 00:05 mark Let us know any other questions you have! We'll have 2021 footage of this as soon as we can get our hands on an updated model!
We don't really do shows. We have 2x more RVs for display every day at our facility and our RVs don't cause our customers to incur the HUGE costs of show expenses.

Agree. Not too big and not too small. The no neck breaker tv is the $$$ for me.

We own the 2020 cougar half ton. It’s wonderful, solid, tons of storage convenient....roomy....we love it
Which floor plan?
I hope we see more RVs warranties for full time.
My Nash has 2 inch walls makes a difference.
4-6 inches of roof thickness. I would consider a cougar.
Really small kitchen counter. Can they not add a flip up counter at the end near the bedroom door to increase the work area?
I'd likely add something like that myself. Just not factory offered. Great idea.
Why can’t I find an honest guy like you in ottawa !!!
Well we WERE the Hide and Seek Champions for 2020
I've watched this video twice...which means I REALLY LIKE this Cougar. MEEEOWWW! Thanks for showing this beauty Josh. bill in Florida
Wait till you see the fall updates... :)
I love this unit!

@@JoshtheRVNerd I didn't think about that. I guess the rear of the trailer is going to be like riding in the back of the School Bus (brutal).
@@JaredJanhsen I was also thinking it'd be nice to have an RV in this size range that has a washer dryer combo hookup.
Can I request a review of the 2020 Cougar 31MBS once you guys get one?
I LOVE mid bunks and I'm pretty excited about this new floor plan.
Thanks!

On my Trade in the furnace will run hooked up to my Truck and off the battery. Seems like most RV's will. Does this one?
See previous reply to same question
The clear shower door really opens the bathroom. Is the slideout fascia real wood or pressed what ever? Thanks Josh!

I notice on the roof there is some rippling around the vents and such. Is this a normalcy on a brand new RV roof?

Don't you level your RV?

@@JoshtheRVNerd You're right, I wasn't picturing that. See the point now.
@@gregg2042 Man I've done it a thousand times lol
Would our 2012 Toyota Tundra Crew Cab Premium w/tow package be able to tow this? It is rated for 9000 lbs and a payload of 1330.

Haylett RV I will talk to my husband. One issue we may have is that we live over 8 hours away in the Twin Cities.
Another great Vid as always Josh. Question: Is Keystone using a new flooring material "similar" to plywood except all one piece? Thanks for any enlightenment you can give.
It's a structure board (osb), but higher grade vs common RV industry OSB.
I'll say it this way -- it doesn't scare me away from their RVs in the slightest.
@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks Josh! I didn't think they would use a lesser material when the rest of it is top tier ;)
You are so funny love watching out🤣
Great RV, do you think I would have a problem towing it with my 2019 Yukon Denali?
Depends on the specific Yukon in question and its capacities. Drop our team a note at www.haylettautoandrv.com/contact/ so they may reach out & learn more about your vehicle. Then, we can get you a more definitive answer.

From the hip and don't quote me on this -- high 20's? We don't do fees so it would just be + taxes & tags
@@JoshtheRVNerd -- Thanks!

Thank you
Our team at 800-256-5196 can assist you with figures -- I don't have resources to help you on that one. The main A/C is a 15k. The 2nd A/C is a 13.5k

Josh, could you do a review of a Montana High Country 281CK. It's an great floor plan and is only 32 FT long, Thanks
As soon as one is built, yes. That RV physically doesn't exist *yet*, but we have orders for them
Would a 2017 GMC canyon be able to pull it? (Without frying the transmission.) I mean.
Probably not. AT BEST a Canyon is rated for 7,000lbs i believe. With this unit being 6700lbs before battery/propane and ANY cargo.. I just don't like that pairing.
Hi. I have this camper and above the bathroom door there’s a disk that says WiFi. How does that work ?
It’s a little prep point where a module could be installed. I do apologize I’m not extremely well first on where to direct you beyond that
@@JoshtheRVNerd thanks. I didn’t know if I had it or not. I’m going to look in to it more.

You think a 19 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi V8 would pull this bad boy?
I don't see why not!
Love the floorplan - rear bath, king bed, recliners across from the fireplace. Does anyone make this in a 5th wheel configuration?
You don't usually see front bed fifth wheels with a rear bath. The consumer market has pretty much shown they don't want to go down stairs to use the toilet at night. Cougar does make a few smaller FWs you may like however. You can see them at

@@JoshtheRVNerd I find that rear bathrooms are more common on 5th wheels with bunks.
What are the carpeted things between the bed and the wall yuk
That's the covering for your pass-thru. Likely also hiding something like a water heater.
Hay Josh got any 411 about the new Winnebago Voyager line of trailers ?
I do, but no footage yet. Getting a change to really REALLY deep dive on them personally monday next week.
It's basically a reworked/improved Minnie Plus i'm joking calling the Minnie Plus PLUS lol

I'll pardon you like the presidential turkey on thanksgiving.
Ditch the dinette
STOP saying "5th wheel!" and keep the lame "peeking between the legs" jokes out of the office, and back in your bar.
You can try go somewhere else for awesome reviews. Stop telling someone what they can and can't say.
