      Not quite sure what the market is for these. I lik small trailers; we have an 18 footer. But these are missing some amenities that help us take long trips. These seem perfect for one, maybe two, travelers on short trips.

    Me and my wife, we own pro light lounge and it’s perfect for both of us with AC solar panels it’s perfect. We’re going to camping so we spent most of the time outside. But when rain the trailer give us enough space It’s cosy and comfortable beside this. It’s easy to tow car can handle with no problems and we can park anywhere. Thank you Prolite. Good job.

    LOVE the cassette toilets! Super easy to empty in more places. I can visit my mom or my daughter in another state, use this as my personal “guest bedroom” in their driveway for a few days, and empty the cassette in a nearby travel stop dump station. We don’t only camp 🏕️ with a trailer, we visit family. I am shopping for something that can go ANYWHERE. Thank you for showing all different options.

    We have the Encore 10KB (no burners, no toilet, and a bigger fridge w/extra cabinet above where the cassette toilet is), and with the bed open on one side, it feels quite spacious. We're coming from a 4x8 squaredrop with a 46 inch bed enclosed on 3 sides by walls, so...
    We spend most of our time outside, and aren't bothered by a potty tent, so it works for us. We can stand in it to dress and use the potty when traveling (think Truck Stop or Cracker Barrel). The tires are rated for 81mph, so we can drive highway speeds. There's SO much storage in the cabinets (underneath as well as up top). All the windows tilt out, great for having open in the rain. We have one 100ah Lithium Battery (it can hold 3), so we can keep the Fridge running while driving and run everything except the AC/heat.
    We got a small gas grill and 700 watt microwave for cooking/reheating. We have a gas fire pit, too. We can set up/tear down in 10 minutes now. The no wood or steel construction really sold us. We love this camper!

    I really like the Prolite Lounge but wish it had a larger '2' door fridge. If I'm going to do this, I'd need a larger fridge with a Separate Freezer to store my storage containers of homemade sphagetti and chicken veggie soup, etc! Would be nice to add a couple of hooks on the inside of the bathroom door for towels, also a covered toilet tissue receptacle plus a caged metal area against the upper wall to place body wash, deodorant, lotion, cologne and a small hand sanitizer. I think if they'd add pull out shelves to that pantry, it would be a DONE DEAL! Guess I'd place a cup to the wall on the kitchen sink for toothpaste, floss and a toothbrush! Love the wood coloring! I may have to look at this over, I don't remember him saying anything about
    A/C or Heat, probably wrong about that though, Ha! Think I'd add Solar on top too! ...Price is too high because it doesn't have my bathroom essentials and a larger fridge... One thing 'I'd' do is add a carrier for a Trike! YES, I definitely like this one Best! 👍

    • @RVBlogger
      @RVBlogger  День назад

      So glad you like the Prolite. They do have other floor plans that might be a bit bigger or have other features that interest you. These travel trailers do come with AC and heat. Most TT come pre-wired for solar power and include a solar panel. I will say most RV owners will modify their campers with personal touches. We added a 4-chamber soap/shampoo/conditioner dispenser in our shower. We include the MSRP as a price point but we hope people negotiate a much lower sales price. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!

      Prolite called us to let us know the MSRP is much lower than we are showing.
      So why do we have the wrong MSRP? Because ProLite doesn't list the MSRP on their website. So we looked up many dealerships who sell ProLite to get the MSRP and they are listing these units much higher than the manufacturer's MSRP so they can pretend they are giving you a bigger discount.
      Susan did revise the video to blur the MSRP for future viewers. The correct MSRP is $29,300. This issue is proof of what is going on in the RV industry to fool consumers.

      Hi Laura,
      Thanks for the suggestions! We always want to hear what our viewers want to see in our videos.
      What do you mean by how the windows vent?
      Here are some general rules to go by:
      There are no ceiling fans except for park models, 5th wheels and Class A RVs. ( sometimes there is a very rare exception to this)
      Also, very few fridges are 3 way.
      A/C is almost always available and although it's an option on most campers practically ever dealer across the country orders them with A/C units.
      There are so few exceptions to these generalizations we really don't cover the items you are asking about.
      But if we get more requests to cover these items we will consider it.

      Good question! The only answer is money. All the manufacturers do what is called "Value Engineering". It's just a fancy term for removing cost from a product while maintaining the value. They get away with it so they continue to do it.
      We have almost eradicated shower curtains in campers and our next area may be Mattresses. The more we bring it up the more people will begin to demand a better mattress. In the meantime our viewers can use it to negotiate a lower price knowing they will need to replace the mattress.

      It all depends how you camp. When we used to be weekend warriors we would never watch TV and we would have a fire every night. All 2 of them! lol.
      But now that we live in our rig 9 months a year it is more like a home. We enjoy TV and we have a propane fire pit so we don't smell like a fire.
      But people all have different ways of doing things and for us it is very interesting to learn about.
      Also we show MSRP which you should never pay. You can negotiate 35 to 40% off the MSRP or buy used and save a ton of money.

    If looking to buy a tagalong, which do you recommend first looking at vehicles that could tow or looking at the campers. I currently have a car Honda Civic 2022 thinking about trading it in for a truck that could pull a small title along I’m 65 and seriously thinking about doing this in the near future and could really use some advice. Thanks in advance.

    • @RVBlogger
      @RVBlogger  День назад

      I would start with the travel trailer first. Find something small and lightweight that you would feel comfortable in. Once you know the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of the camper then you know the size of truck you might need. The GVWR is the weight of the trailer along with all your gear (food, clothing, and RV supplies). We have a rule of towing only 80% of what your truck is recommended to tow, as a safety feature. So if you have a truck that can tow 5,000 lbs, the GVWR of your travel trailer should not exceed 4,000 lbs.

    Why are people so obsessed with Windows in a travel trailer all they do is make it much harder to regulate the temperature inside the trailer and too many windows is too little privacy. Most people just camp in campgrounds and if you have one of these newer RVs with a thousand Windows you have no privacy. Unless you do a significant amount of boondocking and spend time sitting inside your trailer looking out when I think most people what most likely spend more time enjoying the view outside give me a cross Breeze and a good AC and id imagine less windows makes biulding a solid rv easier.

    First about me. I am 65 years young. And I'm a amputee, plus a man who has a back condition, so I can't stand for long periods, before the pains attack me. Before my back injury I stood at 7 foot 3 inches tall. I use my wheelchair now instead of walking. I'm looking for a small travel trailer, with a bed in it, no folding something. I also need a toilet. Why can't the kitchens be all electric, I don't need a heater, if it gets cold I have blankets. And of course a few outlets for plugs for my coffee machine and my toaster. A microwave and A/C is a must. Also I would like one with solar panels. When my parents were alive, they traveled in a newmar mountain air. Now I wish I did not sell it. Life sucks sometimes. Plus a trailer that don't cost to much because my only income is ssdi.i know that's a hard request. I can always add things down the line like the electric stove. I also need a frig with a freezer. Watching all your videos, after a while give me a headache. But you can steer me in the right direction, then I would only have to look at one or two. Thank you for all your great videos

    48 or 52 inches wide for beds will not be comfortable for 2 adults, price on the last one is way to high for something so basic.

      I wouldn't want to sleep on a bed with those dimensions either but you could.
      Prolite called us to let us know the MSRP is much lower than we are showing.
      So why do we have the wrong MSRP? Because ProLite doesn't list the MSRP on their website. So we looked up many dealerships who sell ProLite to get the MSRP and they are listing these units much higher than the manufacturer's MSRP so they can pretend they are giving you a bigger discount.
      Susan did revise the video to blur the MSRP for future viewers. The correct MSRP is $29,300. This issue is proof of what is going on in the RV industry to fool consumers.
      Thanks for watching!

      Actually, we have the Encore 10KB (no burners, no toilet, and a bigger fridge w/extra cabinet above), and with the bed open on one side, it feels quite spacious. We're coming from a 4x8 squaredrop with a 46 inch bed enclosed on 3 sides by walls, so...

    Why do they continue to put kitchens in these things so much wasted space!!!!!

      It's all about what their market research tells them. Most folks view camping as a weekend getaway or mini vacation so the manufacturers are trying to meet that need by adding all sorts of glamping features.

    People have to be crazy to pay this much for these trailers. Way over priced

      Hi Kelly,
      We only show the MSRP (which you should never pay) for these campers. You can expect to negotiate 35 to 40% off of these prices or buy used and save a bundle!

    Check out the 134BHX if you have kids. Catalina makes it but Aurora has a version of something like it too.
