- Susan and Mike from RVBlogger have been touring, rating, and reviewing RVs for over 5 years! In this RUclips video, they tour and review three of the best 2024 campers under 5,000 lbs!
These compact travel trailers have bathrooms with toilets and showers, and they are lightweight and easy to tow. And one is a camping trailer under 5000 lbs with bunk beds!
The three small camping trailers under 5000 lbs we tour and review in this video are:
0:00 Intro
0:45 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 174BH
11:08 Forest River Geo Pro G20FKS
20:05 Lance 1475
Hi Everyone,
We hope you enjoyed our video! Which small campers under 5,000lbs GVWR did you like best? Do you prefer a travel trailer, motorhome or 5th wheel? Please say hello by leaving a comment below and sharing your opinion about these RV floor plans.
I like the front kitchen and bed in back for privacy. Thanks for your review!
The front kitchen is pretty awesome! Thanks for watching!
Wow, the Geo seems like such a better value than the Lance when the prices are compared.
Great stuff, thanks!
The Geo seems to be the favorite with the kitchen design. Thanks for watching!
I love Jayco campers, but this one could use more drawers in the kitchen. The Forest River kitchen is gorgeous. The Lance is waaaaaay too expensive.
That kitchen is pretty cool! We agree about the Jayco. And Lance is a high quality trailer but you have to pay for it.
Nice units but the Lance price is crazy high...
Never pay sticker price! Negotiate or buy used and save a bundle!
Use the tub as the sink
Haha! Never thought of that before. Big pots and pans would no longer be a problem!
On the 2nd one, the GeoPro the kitchen over-the-counter mount sink will alleviate folks concerns over sinks dropping out due to water seeping underneath. 😊 my pick, #2 would work. #3 maybe. #1 would be someone else favorite.
Hey Erin! Good point on the kitchen sink! Thanks for watching and especially for your comments!
Forest River for me --- I personally liked the layout the best and also prefer kitchen / living space in the front entrance areas and then the sleeping area in the back. However, with the Jayco, that's a great point about the pros of having window AC units! I never thought of that.
Thanks Jules...I'm glad I could offer a different perspective!
I'd go with the GeoPro - love that front kitchen! - despite the slideout 🫤. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I like the Jayco. Being single it fits me. The bunk beds are bonus. I have 3 grand sons. As for no sink, it is not a deal breaker.
Jayco has some nice trailers. Thanks for watching and have fun camping with your grandsons!
It would be very helpful if you could list off the tank sizes in your reviews.
We have considered this but it would make the videos too long. We provide basic info and then we figure if someone sees a model they like they can investigate further.
You must be a serious boondocker if tank size is a major consideration. Where do you like to go? We are always looking for cool new places to boondock!
I like the fact that they have put a window air conditioner unit in instead of a huge roof top air. It will be much easier to install a new one when the time comes to replace it. We are not a fan of the small dinette and we would rather see a reclining love seat, it would suit our needs much better. I was wondering why they didn't put a window above the sink area, who doesn't like to look out in the mornings while sitting on your recliner drinking coffee and tea. Now you only have a blank wall to look at. Moving on to the bathroom, I agree with Mike, I think manufactures should install retractable shower curtains in ALL campers. Much easier to get in and out of shower instead of dealing with a wet clingy curtain. The fact that it doesn't have a sink in the bathroom is not a deal breaker for us. I love the front kitchen on the Geo Pro but having a flip up bunk over the main bed is not an ideal situation if a kid needs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and has to climb down on top of you. They need to rethink this idea. The shower in this unit is just too small for adults. Not a fan of the Lance.
Hi Judy,
Thanks for your comment! Very thorough!
I like the prices of the Jayco & Geo. I like the set up in the Geo, but I don't like the slide out. The Jayco I don't need bunks. Larger bathrooms in all three trailers. The Lance is step up perfectly for what I need, down fall is price & bathroom size.
Hi Mary - all good observations!
Thanks for watching!
For the amount of money, the Lance should have had a large sink and more accomodating bathroom.m
Totally agree!
Thanks for watching!
I like the jayco
Jayco makes some great floor plans. Thanks for commenting!
Ok the F R geo pro is my favorite put twin beds in and I'm there!
Could we please have more class A and class B RV’s these seem to be few a far between, thank you, keep up the awesome work from here in the UK
We are working on a Class A tour video now and it will be out in the next several weeks.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words too!
I don’t like the Jayco flight SLX I’m not a fan of the bed being down the entire time and right smack at the front door. The dinette with the position of the stand would potentially get bumped into... a lot! It looked cheaply made.
Now, the FOREST RIVER GEO PRO- I instantly liked the front kitchen, the sponge drawer. Y’all probably already know I’m a fan of drawers being apart of the kitchen cabinetry. I like the swivel table. The sofa looks comfortable. It’s a nice color. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the 3 windows at the back of the trailer surrounding the bed and the Alice in wonderland “drink me” size shower. 😂 I’m so sorry, I would not fit!!! 🙃. That would be one frustrating bath time. Other than that, it was a nice trailer.
The LANCE 1475 was snug. The sofa option with slide would be the better choice, for me between the swivel chair or upgraded slide out model. The shower was a bit more roomy. I was surprised at the size of the bathroom.
Great observations! I may loose my job!
Thanks for watching and for your comments!
I like the last one better
Why do you like that one the best?
What can I tow with a 2015 jeep renegade latitude?
Not much... the max tow capacity of a 2015 jeep renegade latitude is only 2,000 lbs and we recommend you only tow up to 80% of your max tow capacity which is just 1,600 lbs. Jeeps are great for off road adventures but they don't have a good tow capacity.
Well again so disappointed with the Jayco. What's going on with them ?? The FR is nice but not a fan of bathroom location but LOVE the kitchen set up !! The Lance is way too pricey for the size but the size is perfect !! LOVE the option of a sofa or chairs. Maybe combine FR kitchen in the Lance camper ? Lastly, all 3 need to rethink the shower configuration. Sorry, I need COFFEE !! Thanks Susan & Mike, safe travels !!
We need some coffee too! We quit drinking coffee for a while and we so now that don't have our tolerance built up anymore we are enjoying the coffee buzz in the morning! Thanks for all your comments!
I wasn't a fan of any of them. But there are so many options out there.
That's the whole point...there are tons of great options. But has anyone ever found the perfect camper? There are always trade-offs.
I lile the front kitchen and rear bed on the GeoPro BUT GeoPro's never have much storage.
Very true - but very little storage space is true for many travel trailers.
@@RVBlogger it is why I ended up buying an Imagine Aim 16ML. Grand Design understands how to include storage.
@@sssophiesmom we love the floor plan of the 16ML. Spacious bathroom!
I can just imagine a 6'1" or taller guy bending over to wash his legs and banging his head on that sink counter! The bathroom is terrible in that Lance. Kitchen was nice though. I would take #2.😊
I don't want to imagine a tall guy bending over to wash his legs...lol!
Thanks for watching!
Not to sound gross but when you do your elbow test I think your elbows are too high. I have never seen anybody have their hand and elbow up that high to wipe their bottoms. Lol
LOL! That is very true!
No bathroom sink is o k as long as there’s a hand sanitizer in place,
Hi Mildred...we agree!
Hope you are doing well!
Mike and Susan
