@@Williamsmith-ne3vh hi william… you will definitely hear loud noises like road work or thunderstorms… and you will also hear rain hitting your roof… some folks run the AC all the time to drown out campground noises. Thanks for watching! Mike

We have been looking at what works best for us in small travel trailers for over a year. We have settled on the Rove Lite 14 FD as we know someone that bought the FL model towing it with their 2015 Toyota Four Runner getting around 18 mpg below 65 mph. This was one of the big factors in buying a travel trailer as we planned on towing ours with our 2014 Tacoma 4x4 four door pickup with a cap over the pickup bed. We liked the bed/dinette in the front and the shower/toilet in the back as we put a real mattress full time in that area. We bought a small collapsible table to eat at the couch. It works for us best this way. With the trailer loaded up and the pickup loaded with two more propane tanks, folding barbecue, 30 by 58 inch folding table, two comfortable camp chairs and a plastic storage box with goodies, we have everything we need for several week cruise. We have only done one 2 1/2 week trip thus far but every thing worked out great. We live in the Lake Tahoe area and have to wait for June to travel again but have made many planned trips in the future. The only thing I had to buy that didn't come with it was a spare tire for the trailer which also is stored in the pickup bed.
We have a "mcmansion" but we are fulltimers. We started in a small camper and when we went fulltime we knew we needed the room. We loved our little weekend and vacation camper but I won't give up my king-size bed, bath and a half or washer and dryer.

I learned about the KZ 130RBSE on this channel several years ago. After looking at one in person, I decided it was the perfect trailer to tow behind my Jeep Wrangler on 3-5 day trips, so I bought one. I'm 6'2, so anything with a short RV length bed is too small. At 82", the KZ is more than long enough. I can also stand up in the shower if I keep my head in the roof vent area, which has worked out perfectly for me. Mine has the propane/120 volt absorption refrigerator, which does have a freezer compartment that will freeze my water bottles solid. The one in the video either had a 120 volt only refrigerator, or possible a 12 volt compressor model. Mine is a 2020 and a 120 volt only refrigerator was standard. I like the overhead microwave, which is a new feature. I have a small microwave I put on the counter. When traveling, I throw it on the bed. This trailer has storage galore, which I've never managed to fill up yet. For short trips, the KZ is perfect and can be towed with any vehicle that has a 3500 lb tow capacity or more.

Winnebago Hike- We're a family of 4 with two young adults. So the larger bunks would sleep the family more comfortably. The bathroom is simple and has everything for a quick easy getaway weekend! Thank you for being so thorough in your video content. It's appreciated!
I think I’m leaning more towards the first one, it’s just me and the wife and an adult special needs daughter, so we don’t really need the bunk beds, definitely don’t want the one with the toilet in the shower, plus I’m really trying to go as small as I can, used to have large travel trailers ( 24’ a 26’ and a 34’) when the kids were little, don’t need that much now. Thanks for the reviews and keep up the good work
Thank you John! I'm with you there on the wet bath. Not for me! Good luck in your search. Hope we help you find one! Thanks for watching and commenting.

All these small campers should have is a queen bed, a toilet and shower, and a kitchen. No dinette, so extra beds, so sofas... I think a decent sized refrigerator is a must. If you have extra room then I would do a computer desk. With the prices they charge now a days they should have a minimum of 500w of solar panels and a minimum of a 5KW battery (doubling both would be even better). Have all the appliances and heaters be electric then too. Taking out the dinette they always want to include gives you so much more space for a larger shower and a larger refrigerator. A small washing machine and spin dryer for cleaning cloths is also nice. They make small portable ones for RVs that work great. Then hang them up to dry them the rest of the way. A good awning is also a must... good. I think they should have the option of mosquito netting to close them in and LED lighting. I think the steps should have a shoe brush on the side of the first step too.
Sounds like you've added quite a bit of "extras" to your remodified camper, but I like the idea. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
Thanks! This episode made me want to subscribe. Family of 4 looking for compact travel trailer…didn’t even realize bunks existed in such a small spaces. 😝

I like the KZ Sportsman Classic floor plan as well as how light it is. The bathroom space seemed nice too. One thing I prefer is having the door as far away from the bed as possible.

We’ve got a 17ft coachman,full bathroom,walk around queen bed and a small booth to sit and typical two burner stove fridge and microwave.we lov it because we can get into a lot of boondocking areas we’re big rvs can’t. Plus it tows like a dream
@@RVBlogger I'm looking for one without a toilet in shower but with both ... grins ( solar panels would be nice) no bunks only one adult. Not more than 27 ft. A 2023 or 2024 brand new with four season and covered underbelly. All windows with shad screen and night black out screens. Do you know of one??
@@RVBlogger hey Mike and Sue. Yes I am ok, my wife is going through some medical stuff right now but we hope she will be feeling better soon. I will be retiring in two years and will be looking for an RV so keep the video reviews coming and maybe we can get one that both of us can be happy with. Hahahahaha Cheers!!!

My favorite camper is the last one. I ´m a single person and will remain. At the most we ´d be two but not more. I ´m not rich but i wish to feel home wherever i ´d go and not to depend on anybody. I ´m in Canada and i would luv to see more like these. There s’ probably a few mistake in my writing but i don’t have multilanguages on my ipad

Winnebago. For the two of us, I’d remove the bunk beds and use that nice little space for something else such as a storage closet and/ or a small office area.
the second is probably my favourite - like how the sofa bed is right by the door so you can sit down and relax or put stuff down if you are carrying straight away and the tv is nicely placed for the sofa bed i reckon, has a more open feel design to it and you can easily add some stools for extra people at dining area

@@RVBlogger we love that it has a north south queen bed. So no jumping over each other in the middle of the night 😂. It also has a large nice restroom. It’s also very light so towing is easier.
honestly I've been living in my bushwhacker plus for about 1 year and like 3 months and it's such a comfy place. had to buy a new queen size mattress and it's just perfect.

Well Mike & Susan, I think this along with your other videos are just great. I love the fact that if someone follows your blogs, you cover everything from beginner to experienced, from basic couple trailers up to 5th wheel and class C, something for everyone. This gives me some good ideas for trailers with a bathroom "which my wife will appreciate" that I can pull with my Nissan Frontier. Don't let the haters get you down, I think you try to include All Types of campers with All Types of budgets. Keep up the good work, it gives me something to look forward to during winter mixed with a little covid.
Hey Michael, We are SO appreciative of the love and support!! We are so glad to hear you enjoy our videos and content. Thank you so much. :) Safe travels and happy camping!
My favorite was the Winnebago. I would keep the dinette up all the time and use the bunk for my sleeping. The other bunk I would use for storage. But that’s for a party of 1
Hey SP, Great choice! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan By the way, we hope you will subscribe to our FREE monthly digital/video magazine called RV Camping Magazine. Let us know how you like it! rvblogger.com/rv-camping-magazine/
I would like to see 12 volt fridges and either a cassette or composting toilet in a small camper. Also would like either twin beds or a bed that does not sleep across the trailer so you don’t have to climb over someone to go to the bathroom or to get up before the other person. I know that might be difficult for lack of room in these, but hate that setup!

#3 was my favorite.... I think the dinette slide out gave you so much more room and I like the bathroom a lot better I think that was the best choice of all of them number three

I went with a RoveLite 14FD for the super light weight and the one piece manufacturing for fewer leak decay issues . Also liked the no wood construction. It tows nicely. Does ride a bit low so you need to pay attention. I am very happy with it and it's super tiny bathroom which works for me I wipe it down and place a mat on the floor after my shower. Thanks for your information. I watched a number of your videos before I picked mine.

My camper has a hanging cabinet like the KZ and I bought a hanging shoe holder. I used the bottom for shoes and roll up my towels and pillow cases and still have plenty of room for wash cloths, hand towels, extra paper towels, ECT.

I'd highly suggest people look into the Keystone Passport SL 199ml. Dry it's around 4,200 lbs. Pretty small camper at just under 23 feet long. Totally can be towed by an suv or halfton truck with ease. Has a bathroom with a door for privacy. Shower tub combo. Tub is good for a kid. Storage in bathroom. Fold down queen size bed with clothing closets on both sides of the bed. U shaped dinette that slides out (this is the only slide out the camper has). Can be converted into another bed for guests or children. Pretty big country style metal sink with detachable sprayer faucet. 5 windows, 3 skylights 1 with a fan in the bathroom. 32inch flat screen TV with shelving underneath. Domestic fridge and freezer. Furrion oven with 3 burner stove top. Inside and outside speakers. Highpoint microwave. Front pass-through storage. Outside shower. Electric jack and stabilizers so nothing has to be cranked manually. It's a great camper for a couple or for people that don't want to go big or are limited by their tow vehicle but still want to get a lot of features packed into their camper design and layout. Never once had an issue with that camper as wife is a travel nurse and we used it a ton. But now that we have a 3 year old and 2 dogs I need ny recliners to relax and she needs her space lol so we upgraded to a Keystone Outback 328rl with dark brown leather seating. It's amazing. Huge difference though. Going from 22 feet to 38 feet in length and basically doubled the weight. Buy I highly recommend people look into the Keystone Passport lineup for small campers.

Here is my situation, I own a sedan, and I am looking to trade my car for a used truck and get me a small light travel camper, I want to make this whole package as affordable as possible. My intentions are to travel and move around during the fall before winter. I know nothing about RVs. So I am trying to get informed. Glad I found you guys, will research your website and some of your articles.

Hi, Great job on your channel. I love and appreciate it very much. I have been living the van life for five years. This lifestyle enables me to save more money for my semi-retirement. I want to buy a towable RV as well as a new truck to pull it. My plan is to live six months in Florida during the winter. And six months in Michigan during the summer. I really hate the cold and snow. The RV, once parked, will live in the same place for each six month stay. I am a single man who will be the only resident living in the RV. I plan on modifying the interior to fit my needs. I do not need a microwave, a stove, countertop burners (a two burner portable that can be used and stored in a cabinet is what I want). Counter space is more important. And I would prefer a table and two chairs (a cafe set that can be secured when traveling) rather than a built in dining area. This would give me more space and versatility that a permanent built-in dining area can't. I'm not looking for a lot of bells and whistles when it comes to a towable RV. I live a very happy minimal life. Is what I want from a towable RV doable? Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
Thank you so much! So glad you love our channel! Sounds like you have a great semi-retirement plan in the works. Most travel trailers will come equipped with a micro and stove top because manufacturers know that the majority of buyers want those items. TBH I would look into a gently used travel trailer that you can modify and remove items that are unnecessary to you. Might be more cost effective that way. Facebook Marketplace and rvtrader.com are two great sources for used TT. We do recommend getting used RVs inspected so you don't wind up with someone else's problems. Shoot me an email and if I find something that fits your style I'll let you know. susan@rvblogger.com Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
KZ....Love the fact that the bathroom is where the entrance door is that way if you are using your trailer for you and guests and you are mostly outside of the trailer, you don't have to tread the length of the trailer every time someone has to use the bathroom. The others don't have that feature. Also love the bathroom in the KZ but no ice tray sucks. I like the netted upper storage in the Rove.Keystone bed looks decent but don't like the sink/stove area with no prep area. Keystone bathroom is decent. Puma..decent bed with good under storage. Nice kitchen set up. Fridge is nice and bunk beds are nice with usb ports. 5 foot 6 in the shower sucks. The winnebago's sink is too small along with the fridge. Decent bunks and bathroom. Overall for the price i like the KZ best.
I don't understand the microwave thing. Unless I am living in the RV, the microwave seems odd to me. But I boondock and whatnot. If I had a bigger tow vehicle, the Winnebago. But for us, right now the 1 or 2 trailers would be great.

I like the Sportsman and the Rove best because of the light weight. I think my 3500 LB towing capacity could possibly tow it. Good storage and extra couch room for the dogs in the Sportsman! Like the Murphyish bed but Wish there were a couple more cabinet doors in the kitchen vs. all the cargo netting (gotta securely store food from the dogs! Wish the fridge was bigger w/freezer space in both units. If tow weight wasn't an issue I would choose the puma. I really like that white farmhouse decor. It really brightens up the interior and I appreciate the fact that it has a larger refrigerator. I could use the bunkhouse area for storage perhaps of my scooter that I would need to take around since I'm disabled. It would also be a good area for dog crates as well. What gives with the sink in the Winnebago? It makes the other sinks look large in comparison!!

I have a friend with the Rove Lite 14 BF model towing it with their Fourrunner getting close to 18 mpg on level roads. We bought the Rove Lite 14 FL with the dinette/bed in the front with a couch along the wall. Same weight and towed it with my Tacoma 4x4 four door short bed pickup 3500 lb tow capacity and got the same mpg as long as under 65 mph. We added an external 11 gal black tank as 5 gallons was not enough and an additional deep cycle battery. We only took it on one 2 1/2 week trip but everything worked fine even when we boon docked for a few days in the woods. We live in Nevada in Lake Tahoe area and can't wait for the snow to melt.

Catalina summit series- not listed, but better than all these. Cheaper& larger fridge and an outside skillet. They killed it- $21k Edit- outside skillet also has a cube fridge and a cabinet. With everything combined I paid $23…. And they have since gone up a little. Plus no carpet, nice lighter off white cabinets. Shower isn’t awesome, but we use the showers on site.

Have the Rove Lite great for beginners like me but must say the sewage lines in the rear are too low have issue with speed bumps backing into drive way. But easy tow with my SRX that can only tow up to 2500lbs

I have a question for anyone who wants to answer it for me. Do people actually worry about having a TV in these little trailers? And do they worry about where it gets mounted and who can watch it easily etc? I just never thought of watching TV while camping. I honestly thought one of the reasons for going camping was to get away from things like TV and internet and all that sort of stuff.
It depends. If you are going CAMPING, agreed. If you consider it your moving hotel room because you don't want to keep unpacking on a long trip, visiting different people in different states... then it's nice to have it be more like home. If I was going to travel for a month, I'd like to watch some things - although a DVD player would be fine for me.
Hey Prepperjon, Good question! Some people's campers are for camping, they can also be used for everyday living, or vacationing. We can definitely see why some would and some wouldn't want a tv.

Hey There - at 11:30 you’re measuring the shower that is a wet bath and I wanted to bring something to everyone’s attention concerning that sort of set up. In the circumstances of the shower/toilet being a “wet bath” it’s not meant for a person to stand there having a 20 minute relaxing hot shower. It’s actually all about convenience and utility. You send everyone outside or if its just you and/or your spouse it doesn’t matter but you get undressed outside of the shower. Once you are disrobed you step into the “wet bath” and sit down on top of the closed toilet. You then turn on the water to the correct temperature and spray yourself all over and stop the water. Soap all over your body plus shampoo your hair then turn the water back on rinse your hair then your body and shut the water off. Now the part I didn’t mention is obviously you stand up for a few seconds to get soap on all your bits and bobs and then again when rinsing off. Do a quick rinse of the shower walls and the toilet to rinse away any soap or shampoo. What I’m trying to convey is that a “wet bath” isn’t meant for a person to stand up and shower normally. It’s strictly for utility or some say convenience. Its a step up from a box of baby wipes and really is just for the utility of being able to get all the dirt off of you or sand and salt off of you and washing your hair. So what I tell people just before they start to complain about the “wet bath” is hey it beats a box of baby wipes or a damp washcloth and no shampooing of the hair and if you can’t deal with that then don’t buy a trailer with a “wet bath” or if you are traveling with me then choose, you can have a damp washcloth and some deodorant or use the “wet bath” and at least get to wash your hair and do a thorough cleaning of the pits and cracks, or get all the salt off of your skin. But you don’t get to complain. Because if you complain you get to use the outdoor shower or nothing at all lol. The ladies end up actually enjoying it because they don’t have to stand up and balance while they take their time washing their hair thoroughly. If you want luxury showering rent a nice hotel room at $200 a night. Or the best option is to pull into one of the major truck stops like Pilot Stations or Flying J’s where a couple can rent a shower room that has separate vanity/sink, toilet area, and large shower stall. They go for about $12-$15 for two people either together or one after the other. While there you can fill up the fuel tank(s), gas and propane as well as gather arm loads of snacks and portable food lol. So whatever the situation or circumstances the number one rule is no complaining ever. You are there by choice not force and if you happen to be a teenager who was forced to go on that trip by your parents you still have a choice you can whine and complain until your parents “accidentally” leave you at the largest truck stop in North America or you can suck it up buttercup and smile your way through it all. Because in the end you still have it better than roughly 5 billion people on this planet. “Wet bath”?! How about no clean water at all and you walk 4 miles one way so you can fill a grimy plastic jug with dirty virus and worm/parasite infested water then walk the same 4 miles back home so your mother can use that water to “clean” the one plate you have then she cooks with whats left. Tomorrow its the same thing over and over. Guess what?! You love “wet baths” now WOOHOO!!! Every day I wake up and look around where I’m sleeping, either at home or in my travel trailer and then I look up and I thank the good Lord in heaven that I wasn’t born in a third world country. I also contribute to a charity that works hard to bring clean disease and chemical free water to people in those 3rd world countries. It’s my way of saying thank you for what I have and what they should have.
Amen brother ! I was Homeless as a teen n heated water on a campfire I HAD TO BUILD nightly to eat n bath with! Now 50 yrs later I can afford a camper ( my home is pd off) n I’m grateful to have a lil space to sit n wash my body!!

Nice review, New to your channel and camping. It be great to do a review on small trailers that are built for tall people or at least people over six feet high. I am having trouble researching this as nobody categorizes the bed length, room height and such like that, but thank you for the review . it helps me remember what to ask for.

In regards to the KZ Sportsman, I like that more companies are leaving out the TV. I personally don't want it or a radio. I would rather bring my own portable entertainment and speaker. The Rove lite is super cute for a smaller-sized couple that doesn't need a queen bed. Thank you for giving us more tt models to ogle.

We have been looking at what works best for us in small travel trailers for over a year. We have settled on the Rove Lite 14 FD as we know someone that bought the FL model towing it with their 2015 Toyota Four Runner getting around 18 mpg below 65 mph. This was one of the big factors in buying a travel trailer as we planned on towing ours with our 2014 Tacoma 4x4 four door pickup with a cap over the pickup bed. We liked the bed/dinette in the front and the shower/toilet in the back as we put a real mattress full time in that area. We bought a small collapsible table to eat at the couch. It works for us best this way. With the trailer loaded up and the pickup loaded with two more propane tanks, folding barbecue, 30 by 58 inch folding table, two comfortable camp chairs and a plastic storage box with goodies, we have everything we need for several week cruise. We have only done one 2 1/2 week trip thus far but every thing worked out great. We live in the Lake Tahoe area and have to wait for June to travel again but have made many planned trips in the future. The only thing I had to buy that didn't come with it was a spare tire for the trailer which also is stored in the pickup bed.
Let you know if you get the vinyl floors and they will be very slippery make sure you put mats down and well two-sided tape helps it helps keep the mats down on the floor porch it’ll also make it easier for you not to slip and fall because you don’t want that when I first got my camper seven years ago I slipped and fell on it that’s why I have a shower chair now with holes in it and I have the legs from legs on the chair have Spray on rubber so they don’t create rust

Small campers aren't just "for beginners". Some of us don't want a McMansion on wheels to keep up with the Joneses.

We have a "mcmansion" but we are fulltimers. We started in a small camper and when we went fulltime we knew we needed the room. We loved our little weekend and vacation camper but I won't give up my king-size bed, bath and a half or washer and dryer.
Agreed, yet many of them cost as much as a McMansion, of so it seems.

I learned about the KZ 130RBSE on this channel several years ago. After looking at one in person, I decided it was the perfect trailer to tow behind my Jeep Wrangler on 3-5 day trips, so I bought one. I'm 6'2, so anything with a short RV length bed is too small. At 82", the KZ is more than long enough. I can also stand up in the shower if I keep my head in the roof vent area, which has worked out perfectly for me. Mine has the propane/120 volt absorption refrigerator, which does have a freezer compartment that will freeze my water bottles solid. The one in the video either had a 120 volt only refrigerator, or possible a 12 volt compressor model. Mine is a 2020 and a 120 volt only refrigerator was standard. I like the overhead microwave, which is a new feature. I have a small microwave I put on the counter. When traveling, I throw it on the bed. This trailer has storage galore, which I've never managed to fill up yet. For short trips, the KZ is perfect and can be towed with any vehicle that has a 3500 lb tow capacity or more.

Damn… very very very informative thx 🙏
Winnebago Hike- We're a family of 4 with two young adults. So the larger bunks would sleep the family more comfortably. The bathroom is simple and has everything for a quick easy getaway weekend! Thank you for being so thorough in your video content. It's appreciated!
So glad you found it helpful! Thank you for the kind words and watching our tours.
I think I’m leaning more towards the first one, it’s just me and the wife and an adult special needs daughter, so we don’t really need the bunk beds, definitely don’t want the one with the toilet in the shower, plus I’m really trying to go as small as I can, used to have large travel trailers ( 24’ a 26’ and a 34’) when the kids were little, don’t need that much now. Thanks for the reviews and keep up the good work
Thank you John! I'm with you there on the wet bath. Not for me! Good luck in your search. Hope we help you find one! Thanks for watching and commenting.

All these small campers should have is a queen bed, a toilet and shower, and a kitchen. No dinette, so extra beds, so sofas... I think a decent sized refrigerator is a must. If you have extra room then I would do a computer desk. With the prices they charge now a days they should have a minimum of 500w of solar panels and a minimum of a 5KW battery (doubling both would be even better). Have all the appliances and heaters be electric then too. Taking out the dinette they always want to include gives you so much more space for a larger shower and a larger refrigerator. A small washing machine and spin dryer for cleaning cloths is also nice. They make small portable ones for RVs that work great. Then hang them up to dry them the rest of the way. A good awning is also a must... good. I think they should have the option of mosquito netting to close them in and LED lighting. I think the steps should have a shoe brush on the side of the first step too.
Sounds like you've added quite a bit of "extras" to your remodified camper, but I like the idea. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!

Also easier and cheaper to replace and you could run it on a smaller inverter generator.
the second is probably my favourite - like how the sofa bed is right by the door so you can sit down and relax or put stuff down if you are carrying straight away and the tv is nicely placed for the sofa bed i reckon, has a more open feel design to it and you can easily add some stools for extra people at dining area

Well Mike & Susan, I think this along with your other videos are just great. I love the fact that if someone follows your blogs, you cover everything from beginner to experienced, from basic couple trailers up to 5th wheel and class C, something for everyone. This gives me some good ideas for trailers with a bathroom "which my wife will appreciate" that I can pull with my Nissan Frontier. Don't let the haters get you down, I think you try to include All Types of campers with All Types of budgets. Keep up the good work, it gives me something to look forward to during winter mixed with a little covid.

I would like to see 12 volt fridges and either a cassette or composting toilet in a small camper. Also would like either twin beds or a bed that does not sleep across the trailer so you don’t have to climb over someone to go to the bathroom or to get up before the other person. I know that might be difficult for lack of room in these, but hate that setup!

I'd highly suggest people look into the Keystone Passport SL 199ml. Dry it's around 4,200 lbs. Pretty small camper at just under 23 feet long. Totally can be towed by an suv or halfton truck with ease. Has a bathroom with a door for privacy. Shower tub combo. Tub is good for a kid. Storage in bathroom. Fold down queen size bed with clothing closets on both sides of the bed. U shaped dinette that slides out (this is the only slide out the camper has). Can be converted into another bed for guests or children. Pretty big country style metal sink with detachable sprayer faucet. 5 windows, 3 skylights 1 with a fan in the bathroom. 32inch flat screen TV with shelving underneath. Domestic fridge and freezer. Furrion oven with 3 burner stove top. Inside and outside speakers. Highpoint microwave. Front pass-through storage. Outside shower. Electric jack and stabilizers so nothing has to be cranked manually. It's a great camper for a couple or for people that don't want to go big or are limited by their tow vehicle but still want to get a lot of features packed into their camper design and layout. Never once had an issue with that camper as wife is a travel nurse and we used it a ton. But now that we have a 3 year old and 2 dogs I need ny recliners to relax and she needs her space lol so we upgraded to a Keystone Outback 328rl with dark brown leather seating. It's amazing. Huge difference though. Going from 22 feet to 38 feet in length and basically doubled the weight. Buy I highly recommend people look into the Keystone Passport lineup for small campers.
is it good for swinging?
@@usernameisusername umm lol might need more context on that word swinging.

Here is my situation, I own a sedan, and I am looking to trade my car for a used truck and get me a small light travel camper, I want to make this whole package as affordable as possible. My intentions are to travel and move around during the fall before winter. I know nothing about RVs. So I am trying to get informed. Glad I found you guys, will research your website and some of your articles.
Hi Mayimbe,

Hi Super Man,

Winnebago is the best quality. Dual axle trailer = easy tow and less tongue weight. I like the first for pricing and what is included in the camper.

Hi,
Great job on your channel. I love and appreciate it very much. I have been living the van life for five years. This lifestyle enables me to save more money for my semi-retirement. I want to buy a towable RV as well as a new truck to pull it. My plan is to live six months in Florida during the winter. And six months in Michigan during the summer. I really hate the cold and snow. The RV, once parked, will live in the same place for each six month stay. I am a single man who will be the only resident living in the RV. I plan on modifying the interior to fit my needs. I do not need a microwave, a stove, countertop burners (a two burner portable that can be used and stored in a cabinet is what I want). Counter space is more important. And I would prefer a table and two chairs (a cafe set that can be secured when traveling) rather than a built in dining area. This would give me more space and versatility that a permanent built-in dining area can't. I'm not looking for a lot of bells and whistles when it comes to a towable RV. I live a very happy minimal life. Is what I want from a towable RV doable? Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
Thank you so much! So glad you love our channel! Sounds like you have a great semi-retirement plan in the works. Most travel trailers will come equipped with a micro and stove top because manufacturers know that the majority of buyers want those items. TBH I would look into a gently used travel trailer that you can modify and remove items that are unnecessary to you. Might be more cost effective that way. Facebook Marketplace and rvtrader.com are two great sources for used TT. We do recommend getting used RVs inspected so you don't wind up with someone else's problems. Shoot me an email and if I find something that fits your style I'll let you know. susan@rvblogger.com Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
KZ....Love the fact that the bathroom is where the entrance door is that way if you are using your trailer for you and guests and you are mostly outside of the trailer, you don't have to tread the length of the trailer every time someone has to use the bathroom. The others don't have that feature. Also love the bathroom in the KZ but no ice tray sucks. I like the netted upper storage in the Rove.Keystone bed looks decent but don't like the sink/stove area with no prep area. Keystone bathroom is decent. Puma..decent bed with good under storage. Nice kitchen set up. Fridge is nice and bunk beds are nice with usb ports. 5 foot 6 in the shower sucks. The winnebago's sink is too small along with the fridge. Decent bunks and bathroom. Overall for the price i like the KZ best.
That's a great choice and thanks for your comments on all three trailers! All great points!
Mike
I don't understand the microwave thing. Unless I am living in the RV, the microwave seems odd to me. But I boondock and whatnot.
If I had a bigger tow vehicle, the Winnebago. But for us, right now the 1 or 2 trailers would be great.

I really love the first one but it’s my style I rewatched it and it only seems like it had a full size bed. I need one that sleeps 3. Darn it!
A third person can sleep on the bench, it’s not the biggest but it’s doable
Most travel trailers have a sofa that will jack knife or a dinette that can be converted to a bed. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best of luck to you.
That's nice I'm looking for something like that maybe a little bigger

I like the Sportsman and the Rove best because of the light weight. I think my 3500 LB towing capacity could possibly tow it. Good storage and extra couch room for the dogs in the Sportsman! Like the Murphyish bed but Wish there were a couple more cabinet doors in the kitchen vs. all the cargo netting (gotta securely store food from the dogs! Wish the fridge was bigger w/freezer space in both units.
If tow weight wasn't an issue I would choose the puma. I really like that white farmhouse decor. It really brightens up the interior and I appreciate the fact that it has a larger refrigerator. I could use the bunkhouse area for storage perhaps of my scooter that I would need to take around since I'm disabled. It would also be a good area for dog crates as well.
What gives with the sink in the Winnebago? It makes the other sinks look large in comparison!!

I have a friend with the Rove Lite 14 BF model towing it with their Fourrunner getting close to 18 mpg on level roads. We bought the Rove Lite 14 FL with the dinette/bed in the front with a couch along the wall. Same weight and towed it with my Tacoma 4x4 four door short bed pickup 3500 lb tow capacity and got the same mpg as long as under 65 mph. We added an external 11 gal black tank as 5 gallons was not enough and an additional deep cycle battery. We only took it on one 2 1/2 week trip but everything worked fine even when we boon docked for a few days in the woods. We live in Nevada in Lake Tahoe area and can't wait for the snow to melt.
Winnebego is my favorite.

Catalina summit series- not listed, but better than all these. Cheaper& larger fridge and an outside skillet. They killed it- $21k
Edit- outside skillet also has a cube fridge and a cabinet. With everything combined I paid $23…. And they have since gone up a little.
Plus no carpet, nice lighter off white cabinets. Shower isn’t awesome, but we use the showers on site.

I have a question for anyone who wants to answer it for me. Do people actually worry about having a TV in these little trailers? And do they worry about where it gets mounted and who can watch it easily etc? I just never thought of watching TV while camping. I honestly thought one of the reasons for going camping was to get away from things like TV and internet and all that sort of stuff.
It depends. If you are going CAMPING, agreed. If you consider it your moving hotel room because you don't want to keep unpacking on a long trip, visiting different people in different states... then it's nice to have it be more like home. If I was going to travel for a month, I'd like to watch some things - although a DVD player would be fine for me.
If i got a camper i intend to live in it .
Hey Prepperjon,
Good question! Some people's campers are for camping, they can also be used for everyday living, or vacationing. We can definitely see why some would and some wouldn't want a tv.

Hey There - at 11:30 you’re measuring the shower that is a wet bath and I wanted to bring something to everyone’s attention concerning that sort of set up.
In the circumstances of the shower/toilet being a “wet bath” it’s not meant for a person to stand there having a 20 minute relaxing hot shower. It’s actually all about convenience and utility. You send everyone outside or if its just you and/or your spouse it doesn’t matter but you get undressed outside of the shower. Once you are disrobed you step into the “wet bath” and sit down on top of the closed toilet.
You then turn on the water to the correct temperature and spray yourself all over and stop the water. Soap all over your body plus shampoo your hair then turn the water back on rinse your hair then your body and shut the water off.
Now the part I didn’t mention is obviously you stand up for a few seconds to get soap on all your bits and bobs and then again when rinsing off. Do a quick rinse of the shower walls and the toilet to rinse away any soap or shampoo.
What I’m trying to convey is that a “wet bath” isn’t meant for a person to stand up and shower normally. It’s strictly for utility or some say convenience. Its a step up from a box of baby wipes and really is just for the utility of being able to get all the dirt off of you or sand and salt off of you and washing your hair.
So what I tell people just before they start to complain about the “wet bath” is hey it beats a box of baby wipes or a damp washcloth and no shampooing of the hair and if you can’t deal with that then don’t buy a trailer with a “wet bath” or if you are traveling with me then choose, you can have a damp washcloth and some deodorant or use the “wet bath” and at least get to wash your hair and do a thorough cleaning of the pits and cracks, or get all the salt off of your skin. But you don’t get to complain. Because if you complain you get to use the outdoor shower or nothing at all lol.
The ladies end up actually enjoying it because they don’t have to stand up and balance while they take their time washing their hair thoroughly. If you want luxury showering rent a nice hotel room at $200 a night.
Or the best option is to pull into one of the major truck stops like Pilot Stations or Flying J’s where a couple can rent a shower room that has separate vanity/sink, toilet area, and large shower stall. They go for about $12-$15 for two people either together or one after the other. While there you can fill up the fuel tank(s), gas and propane as well as gather arm loads of snacks and portable food lol. So whatever the situation or circumstances the number one rule is no complaining ever. You are there by choice not force and if you happen to be a teenager who was forced to go on that trip by your parents you still have a choice you can whine and complain until your parents “accidentally” leave you at the largest truck stop in North America or you can suck it up buttercup and smile your way through it all. Because in the end you still have it better than roughly 5 billion people on this planet. “Wet bath”?! How about no clean water at all and you walk 4 miles one way so you can fill a grimy plastic jug with dirty virus and worm/parasite infested water then walk the same 4 miles back home so your mother can use that water to “clean” the one plate you have then she cooks with whats left. Tomorrow its the same thing over and over. Guess what?! You love “wet baths” now WOOHOO!!!
Every day I wake up and look around where I’m sleeping, either at home or in my travel trailer and then I look up and I thank the good Lord in heaven that I wasn’t born in a third world country. I also contribute to a charity that works hard to bring clean disease and chemical free water to people in those 3rd world countries. It’s my way of saying thank you for what I have and what they should have.
Amen brother !
I was Homeless as a teen n heated water on a campfire I HAD TO BUILD nightly to eat n bath with!
Now 50 yrs later I can afford a camper ( my home is pd off) n I’m grateful to have a lil space to sit n wash my body!!

Nice review, New to your channel and camping. It be great to do a review on small trailers that are built for tall people or at least people over six feet high. I am having trouble researching this as nobody categorizes the bed length, room height and such like that, but thank you for the review . it helps me remember what to ask for.
I second that! Do reviews of small campers that a 6’4”, 280lb man can fit in comfortably, especially the bathroom.

First thing I did was subscribe to the monthly magazine which appeared in my email in about 2.7 seconds lol and I took a quick look through it before downloading it so I can read it while not connected to the internet. But from what I saw it looks like a real good issue and I look forward to reading it later this week. I also made certain to give this video a thumbs up, I’m already a subscriber to the channel and I’ve left 3 comments (including this one) so far all good of course lol.

In regards to the KZ Sportsman, I like that more companies are leaving out the TV. I personally don't want it or a radio. I would rather bring my own portable entertainment and speaker. The Rove lite is super cute for a smaller-sized couple that doesn't need a queen bed. Thank you for giving us more tt models to ogle.

We have been looking at what works best for us in small travel trailers for over a year. We have settled on the Rove Lite 14 FD as we know someone that bought the FL model towing it with their 2015 Toyota Four Runner getting around 18 mpg below 65 mph. This was one of the big factors in buying a travel trailer as we planned on towing ours with our 2014 Tacoma 4x4 four door pickup with a cap over the pickup bed. We liked the bed/dinette in the front and the shower/toilet in the back as we put a real mattress full time in that area. We bought a small collapsible table to eat at the couch. It works for us best this way. With the trailer loaded up and the pickup loaded with two more propane tanks, folding barbecue, 30 by 58 inch folding table, two comfortable camp chairs and a plastic storage box with goodies, we have everything we need for several week cruise. We have only done one 2 1/2 week trip thus far but every thing worked out great. We live in the Lake Tahoe area and have to wait for June to travel again but have made many planned trips in the future. The only thing I had to buy that didn't come with it was a spare tire for the trailer which also is stored in the pickup bed.
Let you know if you get the vinyl floors and they will be very slippery make sure you put mats down and well two-sided tape helps it helps keep the mats down on the floor porch it’ll also make it easier for you not to slip and fall because you don’t want that when I first got my camper seven years ago I slipped and fell on it that’s why I have a shower chair now with holes in it and I have the legs from legs on the chair have Spray on rubber so they don’t create rust
All great tips!!! Thanks for watching and commenting.
