It is nice but in my experience anytime you hear the words LIGHT WEIGHT you can’t say luxury after that. Light weight in most cases means cheaply built. Yea I know some all fiberglass small rigs are very very durable. I’m also glad you didn’t tell these people that a half ton can tow it.
Plus: kitchen sink, fridge, modern design touches. Cons: no bedrooms wardrobe slideout, glass entry door. Kudos on being honest about the 1/2 Towable marketing BS. Appreciate you explaining why loaded 5th wheel pin weights exceed most 1/2 to payload capacities.
Nice layout, but instead of a booth dinette in the kitchen I would like to see the counter extended further with added chairs for a breakfast bar or smaller eating book. It would open up that area and not cut off parts of the kitchen (the way the booth seating is doing). Love, love, love the coffee bar, pantry, hutch they created! It is very multi purpose and looks really nice in that unit. Thanks for the video!!
Needed hand bar up the stairs. Also need space on either side of for CPAP and phones. It would have been nice to have a pocket door for the bathroom. They did add many nice features in the kitchen!
Hey Myles, I hope that you're having a great day? Thank you for showing us this new fifth wheel from Cruiser RV! I really love the led light beams that they are using. I think that those light beams are better then the round puck lights, because if there isn't a switch to cut all the puck lights on you have to go through the fifth wheel an click them on. Keep up the great work on bringing us content of travel trailers, fifth wheels, an motorhomes. I love your new way of life an living #FIRMLY UNBOUND!!!!! Your fan an friend Leonard Nelson from North Carolina.
I really like the look of the kitchen and dinette. And that coffee nook is so cute. I, too, love the arch in it. I think it makes a good couple's trailer. Ppl comment that it wouldn't be good for full time but these ppl living in a van don't get all this space? I do wish it had glass doors or that screen type shower curtain on the shower. Thankyou Myles for doing a walk-thru on this one. As always I appreciate your time, thoroughness, and honesty.
The living area looks good; i like the appliances. Would prefer they were accessible when the slides are closed. The TV is too high and dining table prefer legless. Also prefer quiet AC units. love the size. I need a small cubby to put the Peloton Bike.
Bed storage is genius and love full height closets in bedroom bit they need small area that you can put cpap down with phone and USB chargers. Minor con, the microwave is a MUST have in slide closed position. If you pull over and need to heat something up, you need that microwave. It needs to be moved.
I didn't know this was a brand new brand of trailer. I just saw my first Essence last week and I have to say, I was indeed impressed and it quickly is becoming a favorite with me. But I'm a very critical person, picky too, so I'm very interested in noting a variety of things. 1 - How good do they stand behind their product? 2 - How well is it build/hold up? Things that impressed me are: - The layout. I didn't see the bed storage till I saw this video. That is awesome! - The huge refrigerator. - The oven is also an air fryer? How cool is that? - The belly storage is very good. - Yes, I noticed the tires on it too. They weren't the cheapest tires like most RVs put on. I think the one I saw was the same size but a little different model. I was amazed the show price was around $40K or a little less as I recall.
LED lighting a plus would be mood color lighting along with dimming. Retired not looking for fancy but practical, this looks nice. My 1st choice is the new Salem 29 View,I can add this one for consideration. Ty
Has some really nice features but the bedroom looks way to cramped for us. Kitchen looks nice but it looks like it might be kind of tight but without seeing one in person it’s hard to say. The magnet storage door locks are an awesome idea. I might have to upgrade ours on our camper.
Yeah, and no side table or ledge next to the bed. It DOES look like it has sliding windows instead of the slick-looking but ineffective frameless windows.
I am horrible about leveling so auto level is my route On a side note, anyone who HASN'T subscribed to Myles' second channel 'Firmly Unbound', you are TOTALLY missing out Great channel
Myles, Lack of auto level is a deal breaker. I wonder about the quality of the tires and suspension. I hate the shower curtain and lack of linen storage in the bathroom. The bedroom needs drawers. Don't like the knee knocker legs in the dinette I don't care for the wet bay or the lack of a solar trickle charger. I do love the bed and the larger refrigerator. It would also be nice if they put a fireplace in the cabinet by the sliding pantry door. Love the videos.
What a nice fifth wheel trailer. I would like to see a model with automatic leveling. The storage next to the coffee bar is interesting. I think we would make that a coat closet since it so close to the door. Thanks for the video and we are following you on FirmlyUnbound.
I am assuming it’s in the prototype/concept stage. Outdoor cooking capabilities is a must personally. Smaller fridge & a cooktop? Like the full length canopy. I did see brackets underneath for the auto leveling gear, maybe optional or just again prototype stage. Fudge & sink are way cool! I like the pantry and arch, just not sure about the door. Has the look of “oh gotta cover that up”. The large windows on camp side, huge hit! Bed lift access is nice, cabinets beside the bed are almost useless. I ended up put plastic shelving in my 5th. Still hard to use. Would rather do away with them, add convenience shelf with a king bed. Washer/dryer set up nice. Overall I would consider after researching manufacturer, I never heard of them. Blessings
Fuel is included in the payload for the tow vehicle my 2019 Ram Laramie four-door four-wheel drive is rated at 1800 lb but with 20 inch rims side steps in a canvas topper it derates it to 1600
I am betting the price of this 5th wheel is going to be lower than other 5th wheels of this size. So, do you have to move your dump hose when dumping for the kitchen sink? I like the window on the door with the shade.
Tried to get too fancy with that pantry design. I’d replace all the drawer and cabinet handles. Cheap shower curtain. However, the under bed storage is impressive. The outlets by the bed won’t work.
Exterior; like the looks and length size. Don't like where the water connection is; the whole cargo area is going to get wet. Needs auto leveling system.
Some creative ideas on the living room, but the total lack of drawers in the bedroom is a deal breaker. I wear shorts and t-shirts almost exclusively on RV trips. Where to store and that’s not including my non-mentionables. The wife and all her dainties would need drawers too….
Husband commented, "I hope there is never a 12v electrical fire in the trailer, and someone has to , in a hurry, turn those batteries off quickly with a cargo hold stuffed full of gear against a back wall".
I think k it has potential,but looks very low end. I think they need a pocket door into the bathroom. The location of the pantry is ridiculous. It’s not accessible when the slide is closed. Since the television takes up potential cabinet space there is little storage for on the road snacks. This one isn’t foe me..
Sorry but after 50 + years of camping the last thing you need is a rear kitchen. With a lot of the roads I travel lately the bouncing in the rear end has the fridge and cabinets looking 👀 a mess. Speaking from experience.
It's nice but there's too many corners cut to consider it luxury. I'd put this in a standard category but that'd be about it. I'd be shocked if this gets a luxury price tag.
Hitch weight = 1372. NOT half-ton towable. Half-ton fifth wheel tow-ability is a silly pipe dream that NOBODY is asking for. Any time there are new small fifth-wheel options, I’m happy. The industry needs more small fifth wheels, as there are tons of enormous ones available. But we still need heavy, luxury small fifth wheels ABSOLUTELY NOBODY is doing them, and that needs to change. First manufacturer to make a line of luxury fifth wheels between 28 and 32 feet will not be able to keep them in stock.
4:32 disgusting wiring job. Sloppy and untidy, they are using electrical tape to group their harnesses!Makes you wonder how bad the wiring is that you can't see! That's a deal breaker for me.
Meh on the arch. It does not fit with the design. Rather have a pull out pantry. Shower needs the tri glide glass, the curtains is cheesy. Medicine cabinet opens on the wrong side. Dust bunny collector under the bed. Yea on the full length closets and w/d. Would prefer a window in the nose.
It's not really a luxury 5th wheel without auto leveling, in my opinion. Frame pieces in the underbelly are possibly for mounting a spare tire? It has features you can't find on equivalent units from other manufacturers such as washer and dryer prep but is missing other features a luxury 5th wheel should have.
The position of the TV is ridiculous. It's like trying to watch TV when it stuck up above a fireplace. Should have used a televator behind the dinette to raise TV. Of course the people who design these RV's never actually live in them.
Absolutely not. NO 1/2 ton should be pulling any of these fifth wheels. Tundra actually has the lowest payload (cargo capacity) of any 1/2 ton. ( I owned one, great truck).This has a GVWR of over 10,000 lbs. Even if you only loaded to 9k #’s that would = 1800# pin weight sitting still, not moving.
You actually ask for a favor in every video you post. 😂. Even though it is the same ask it gets a little irritating that you always say you very rarely ask for a favor. Maybe change how you word your request?

True...when scoping put pur next investment in a fifth wheel...theyare all cheaper made
Too small to live in full time, but the layout is awesome and they added some great features!! Love that the industry is listening to us!
Rvs not really designed 4 full time living
Thank you SO MUCH for being honest about the hitch weight and payload of half-ton trucks!
Plus: kitchen sink, fridge, modern design touches.
Cons: no bedrooms wardrobe slideout, glass entry door.

really nice. I don't like the TV being so high, needs to be on an adjustable mount. I like the clever storage.
Needed hand bar up the stairs. Also need space on either side of for CPAP and phones. It would have been nice to have a pocket door for the bathroom. They did add many nice features in the kitchen!
Perfect for a couple or a single person like me. Clean design and roomy.

Great design. Love the under-bed storage arrangements. W/D is an awesome option. Definitely a winner if price is right.
I prefer free standing table.

Hi Myles the suspension is called Dexter ez flex I have it on my trailer with the wet bolts work great good video 👍😊
The living area looks good; i like the appliances. Would prefer they were accessible when the slides are closed. The TV is too high and dining table prefer legless. Also prefer quiet AC units. love the size. I need a small cubby to put the Peloton Bike.
I like it. Definitely putting it on my short list. The only thing I would add is a linen shelf in the bathroom above the toilet.

Great channel
No self leveling is a total deal breaker
Weighing up what I like against what I don't like, it comes down on the negative side, particularly the levelling
Love it. Absolutely what we are looking for except the crazy sink. Hopefully it’s an option because we prefer simple!
Great video as usual! Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
The bedroom like under the bed storage; prefer a slide put the bed east to west.
The frame pieces are there to support and area where there’s the most stress. I’m sure it was an afterthought after testing and doubt it needed it

You seem like a really good sales BOSS. SO PROFESSIONAL. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. AND SMILES
I think the braces under the trailer are extra support braces for the fresh water tank.
What a nice fifth wheel trailer. I would like to see a model with automatic leveling. The storage next to the coffee bar is interesting. I think we would make that a coat closet since it so close to the door. Thanks for the video and we are following you on FirmlyUnbound.

Love the sink
Fabulous. Famous. Fantastic

I love your statement of faith brother!! I will go subscribe!
Helpful rule of thumb for pin weight is 20% of trailer GVWR.
Exterior; like the looks and length size. Don't like where the water connection is; the whole cargo area is going to get wet. Needs auto leveling system.
Love this looked up MSRP is $62,056
Looks really nice I think I would like to have one of them
I love everything but the shower! NO CUTAIN!!! Must have a door!
Love it I hope it is 4 season
Some creative ideas on the living room, but the total lack of drawers in the bedroom is a deal breaker. I wear shorts and t-shirts almost exclusively on RV trips. Where to store and that’s not including my non-mentionables. The wife and all her dainties would need drawers too….
Iike it very much!
Husband commented, "I hope there is never a 12v electrical fire in the trailer, and someone has to , in a hurry, turn those batteries off quickly with a cargo hold stuffed full of gear against a back wall".
Yes! Show the odd named ones hardly ever even talked about!
I got you!
Looks nice but the TV is up too high.
Hellerr...didn't know Madea made a pull trailer called Avenir.😅😅😅😅
I am very impressed 😊
Rockwood 282 RD superior in every way this unit very budget friendly
😊, to RV
I like the LED lights but they need to change colors 😊
Good living area space, no drawers for clothes in the BR.
The neck-breaker TV is a deal breaker in my opinion.
The tires are made by a Korean company Hankook Tire.
Great review- thanks
Do you know of any 5th wheels without Propane?
Add auto-leveling and true 4-season and 👍
I think k it has potential,but looks very low end. I think they need a pocket door into the bathroom. The location of the pantry is ridiculous. It’s not accessible when the slide is closed. Since the television takes up potential cabinet space there is little storage for on the road snacks. This one isn’t foe me..
How long did you say it was . I like it😊
It’s great
I didn't see any storage in the bathroom, towels,wash, clothes,septic pods, toilet paper, hair dryer,ect
Sorry but after 50 + years of camping the last thing you need is a rear kitchen. With a lot of the roads I travel lately the bouncing in the rear end has the fridge and cabinets looking 👀 a mess. Speaking from experience.
It's nice but there's too many corners cut to consider it luxury. I'd put this in a standard category but that'd be about it. I'd be shocked if this gets a luxury price tag.
I like it a lot but it’s really only for couples
I'd rather have a larger shower and delete the W/D hookups that never get used.
No auto level on any 5th wheel is a deal breaker for sure

Two small
RV Trader shows a price of $44,995
No storage in that bathroom, not crazy of the bedroom.
4:32 disgusting wiring job. Sloppy and untidy, they are using electrical tape to group their harnesses!Makes you wonder how bad the wiring is that you can't see! That's a deal breaker for me.

It has features you can't find on equivalent units from other manufacturers such as washer and dryer prep but is missing other features a luxury 5th wheel should have.
It’s what I would consider luxury for a mid size fifth wheel. But yes, if you’re comparing it to luxury full size fifth wheels than it won’t compare
Auto levelers kind of a deal breaker for us! Already kind of disappointed…
The position of the TV is ridiculous. It's like trying to watch TV when it stuck up above a fireplace. Should have used a televator behind the dinette to raise TV. Of course the people who design these RV's never actually live in them.
Light weight is NEVER luxury. You literally are a salesman. A likable salesman.
can 2022 tundra pull this trailer?
Absolutely not. NO 1/2 ton should be pulling any of these fifth wheels. Tundra actually has the lowest payload (cargo capacity) of any 1/2 ton. ( I owned one, great truck).This has a GVWR of over 10,000 lbs. Even if you only loaded to 9k #’s that would = 1800# pin weight sitting still, not moving.
Those welds look sloppy....
Nope. Need 6 Point auto leveling and slam latches.
TV is mounted roo high and the lights on the ceiling no thank you.
Electric stabilizers? Yup, deal breaker
You actually ask for a favor in every video you post. 😂. Even though it is the same ask it gets a little irritating that you always say you very rarely ask for a favor. Maybe change how you word your request?
Do people that design RVs ever have to wash and dry their clothes?
Know your product before you try to show it !
This is a review/impression channel, not an official dealer walk-through
This one look cheap….. is definitely lightweight.
Your take on trucks is way off base, you should stick to selling trailers
Sloppy workmanship, uncovered flooring in the storage area , glue sqishing out
I hate those recliners and the couch version as well. The are ugly. Not homey at all. Sorry
