    Side note for the Manufacturer - Since this is a rear entry with no awning.....Why not a short slide out floor with jacks at the rear of the coach with a power awning and zip up screen room (like a tent). Would really add to the space. OR, just an add on tent room as an available option.

  • @mr.wilson4960
    @mr.wilson4960 4 года назад +1

    Firstly the lady always has great presentation and good knowledge of units she summarizes. Humors me on videos of RV’s they avoid putting pillows on the master bed because they don’t want you to know that a mate/spouse/significant other or what ever is trapped against a wall and has to climb over somebody to get to the bathroom or coffee in the morning. I’ve seen on other videos they put the pillows on the front or rear wall end to make it appear that the bed is spacious and you slide out feet first without disturbing partner and it’s actually a side to side wall sleeping arrangement. Oh, don’t forget the distorted view with wide angle camera lens. If I see it correctly for this unit to me it appears the manufacturer intends for cubby hole / shelf storage spaces be at your feet, but in my opinion should be at head to place phones, eye glasses, cpap machine, books for easy access.

    I really like this trailer. But too many complaints about non-existent warranty and quality issues. I read the owner's manual and they specifically state that there is no implied warranty, as well as you have to check the warranty of each manufacturer of the components (furnace, ac, etc.) to get things repaired on each. Might as well have built the thing yourself. Your satisfaction will be mostly dependent on the dealership you get it from and how well they take care of you. Well that's my take on it anyway.

    Really cute, but the fridge is really too big for the size. I'd shrink the fridge by a third just to get a bit more storage. Storage is where this trailer is lacking. I don't mind the lack of oven because an omnia oven does the job just fine.

    @theeaselrider4032 4 года назад

    They did a great job putting a lot of stuff into a small space, but there's all kinds of little things that they seem to have gotten completely wrong.
    The fridge opens the wrong way, there doesn't appear to be a table of any kind ( really a two-person dinette would make way more sense than a small couch. The TV mount should be at the end of the cupboards above the sink where you can actually see it from the bed. She mentioned plugging in appliances in the kitchen. Where exactly would you do that? The only plug I saw was the one overtop of the couch. I'm not having a coffee maker dangling over your head is the best place to put it.
    Great idea, a bit short on the execution though.

    For me... I would prefer..
    1.) Single Bed instead of Queen...
    2.) TV Located in the Bed Area, near the bed window.
    3) No Microwave, but instead have a LP Gas Oven
    4) The Retro Couch, split design 1/2 backed up by the Single Bed, the other 1/2 facing it and a small Table in between them, like the traditional way they use to be done.
    5) Lastly, the 3 Holding tanks, could those be eliminated and instead, fixed DIRECT Hook up piping to established City Water, and Sewage? As the majority of places today have such on site now.
    Aside that, all else looks well :)

      @PrincessCraft  4 года назад

      You would need a 3000 or 3500 watt generator to get the air conditioner's compressor to start. That is unless you installed a "soft start" mechanism in the air conditioner. Then a 2000 watt generator would likely work. The only issue is that installing a soft start mechanism may void the air conditioner's manufacturer warranty.

      barb veenstra I have one. We use a folding one that uses 4”x12” on shelf above bed. It unfolds to a decent size and can still walk by it. The legs also shorten to use between us on the couch or on bed for prep space next to sink. Looking at the.next size up Retros or similar size units, they have Dinettes but also have wet baths. The couch is short and a dinette needs more space that pretty much has to come from bathroom.

    It needs a dinette instead of a sofa so you have a table and the cooktop needs to be one with a cover that's flush with the countertop, or the sink needs an insert so you have some counter space to do food prep. Where are you going to assemble anything to eat with no counter space and no table? Cute trailer but not functional.

    I don't like the wood paneling or black and white floor.

      We got one with grayish paneling and a gray floor and sofa. Much better,

    Zero counter space....and no table? Also, a _lot_ of wasted space. Not a workable design a all.
