I am 61 years old and have had them all. I currently have a 40 ft. fifth wheel, a 32 ft. class c, and a slide in truck camper with two slideouts. Trust me on this, get the smallest camper you need, not the biggest one you want.
Yes, this is so true. My wife and I have a 19ft travel trailer, single axle. Included is a twin bed, set of bunks bathroom. We also have two cats and a dog. We would have gone smaller, but we wanted the cats to have the bunk area so they have their own space, away from the dog. They all get along, but they like their space. We are thinking about getting a sprinter van or smaller camper when the cats pass on.
I work as an RV tech. Listen to me when I tell you that smaller RVs will last longer per dollar invested than the larger ones, especially those with slide outs. Slide out motors fail all the time. Gas: You will save untold amounts in gas with a smaller RV than a larger one. Price: You are camping. You will be outside 50% of the time if not more. The RV is there for a place to eat, sleep, and number 2. Why spend 80k when 20k meets your needs? Maintenance: Fixing things is expensive. Its really nice when the most expensive item on the trailer is the fridge. It really sucks to spend 2300 bucks just to replace the black tank on a 28 foot behemoth. Thats my going rate. Longetivity: All RVs die. Its life. 20k for 20 years is much better than 80k for 20 years.
kickinthebucketofmilk good comment. I’m not a camper at all but enjoy these videos. However, I think the little ones would suit weekend trips whereas the big ones are made for whole summer type trips.
So many reviews on massive campers the size of houses it's nice to see see something basic. Camping is about getting out in the outdoors and a camper is just a place to keep your stuff and sleep 👍
Something you can do both in isn't bad though. Hell, for someone like me, that 2nd one is *almost* big enough to live in. With a different floorplan, maybe it even could be enough space.
There’s no reason to put persons in your video, proves change all the time and within a few months of him putting out the video he would get nonstop complaining about how his prices are wrong. If you’re watching this video then that means you have access to the internet, it takes literally 30 seconds for you to open a new tab, check the price and move on.
@Ms. Tal I disagree. People can live in the bedroom or kitchen or dining rooms or living rooms and if they have a garage.. can live in there. Some might live in their bathrooms if they are so inclined. ;)
If this is going to be your first camper I would definitely buy that second one fully self-contained I would buy it myself if I didn't have my two campers!!!
The second one is great. Love the fact the table can come out of the trailer and be used outside. So many of these trailers just have booth style table set ups. The only problem I'd have with this model is no real cabinets above the kitchen area and the small fridge. I personally prefer a little bit bigger fridge that has a freezer that you can put some frozen items into. Great video over all but next time open more of the cabinets doors and the fridge doors. 👍👍👍👍
I have the GeoPro 19QB and looove it, perfect for me and the wife. Pull it with a Ram 1500 Hemi, 6spd, 3.92 gears and a B&W adjustable hitch and it's great.
I love camping but as I can no longer get up off the ground due to mobility issues I had to give it up. The little one you showed first would be perfect for me as it has a bed and kitchen which I now need but could still enjoy the wilderness. Thank you for this video.
That first one, would be better with the kitchen access inside. If a rain storm hits and lingers for the 3rd day of a 5 day camping trip and you have to get dressed, go outside, open the kitchen getting everything soaking wet, including the food and drinks you are getting?
I like the second GoPro in this video. Never been much into tent camping so, the tiny one with the outside galley isn't for me. I like being able to move around some and not run into myself. 😄 Thanks for sharing JD and a special thanks to Terry Town.
the advantage of the 2nd one is the lack of cooking smells getting stuck inside but yeah, i get ya. I imagine with some tent sides that could work amazingly.
I'm liking these smaller trailers the first couple looks like they Tow real well behind my Honda Ridgeline and yes I'm one of those types that I used to love camping in a tent but sleeping on hard ground and getting up now that I'm over 50 is getting a little rougher thanks for your videos again awesome
I like features on both, I’d like to be able to incorporate the outdoor cooking part of the smaller on into the larger one and get top and bottom bunks out of the switch.
I think they are both cute and they are small. I would use the one with the bath room. They are cute. Thank you Jd for showing these campers especially from Grand Rapids. Have a great night and weekend and hope you had a great holiday.
I'm looking at this review of the smallest Geopros and I immediately thought of their great, full featured popup. Rockwood must have some really talented and thoughtful designers because once again we are treated to examples that at first glance makes one think, "Ah....more minimalist small RVs." But Mr. BTBRV shows us all that minimalist is more a state of mind than reality when it comes to what Rockwood can accomplish with tiny RVs.
The little wee one is super cute. I’d want a window in it and maybe have the kitchen altered in a way that I could use is while inside the camper on a rainy day
No one ever seems to notice or mention the extremely short and vertical back rests that provide absolutely no upper back support and will kill a back after an hour or so sitting like that. So impractical. Also, no one mentions the fact that as you lean back, all the window and blind hardware jabs you in the back. What good are amenities if you can't sit comfortably waiting out an 8 hour thunder storm system. It took us 10 years and 11 campers to learn this stuff :-)
If I had the money I'd buy one of the Retro style trailers that are on the market; something that would look period correct behing my 86 GMC K2500 and my 85 Chevy C30.
A friend of mine has one of these and he has had a lot of issues. Unfortunately he has not had a lot of support from his dealer. Forest River has been helpful but the dealer has been slow and no responsive.
I've had all kinds of campers and motorhomes sometimes those campsites you knew would not take a big camper so we had to leave it at home and camp with tents a few times so I never wanted 2 have to leave my camper at home ever again so I got a viking fq 17 foot fully loaded with everything in it !! We can take it everywhere I like your second little camper with a shower and bathroom my girlfriend and I don't like them without it LOL
I like these compact trailers but was surprised the 16' weighed 3800#'s. I have a 20 Keystone Passport Ultra Lite that weighs 3400#'s and it is fully self contained. Has full rear bath, slide out sofa/bed, full fridge/freezer, oven and 4 burner stove top and a microwave. Has a rv queen bed (5" shorter than regular queen). It is all aluminum frame construction on a steel frame. Has winter pkg and fiberglass sides with foam insulation. For the price difference I would check this model out. My F150 2WD pulls this RV with ease.
Obviously a lot of the comments are people joking about the guy's tow recommendations. For the interested, any compact SUV would be able to tow the 12 foot model as long as they're OK with the tongue weight. There is absolutely no reason you'd need a full size truck to tow the larger one. Mid size trucks have 6000+ lb tow ratings now and neither of these trailers are over 3000 lbs.
I wish the first one had a small window that would slide so that if someone is cooking outside they could pass food through that window above the sink and add just a little breeze or something
You can easily tow either one of those with a late model Jeep Wrangler. I don't know where you get the idea you need a truck or large SUV for any single axle camper. I towed a 27' Fifth Wheel for 10 years with my unmodified 97 F-150 with no problems and hardly knew it was back there.
Subscribed. Really enjoy the channel. I like that you review many small rv's campers/trailers within a more realistic price range as well as the higher end stuff. Just did my first rv trip and have the bug!
Another great video. After getting a big Kodiak tent it might be tough to sleep in a small camper. I'm able to bring a residential queen size mattress in back of the truck and it easily fits in the tent. It makes for a great night sleep. I'm not sure about the pull out mattress in a camper.
Have you seen any Trailers that a motorcycle can tow? I think a Harley Davidson can tow 1360lbs, but really can't find any weights. These little Trailers have really improved since my 19ft Trailer I had. Thank you for video.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that first, small one, looks like you could easily put in a water tank with a shower head attached to it yourself post-marked, in the roof of the kitchen area or something? And maybe screw a toilet seat to the side of the wall or something Top Gear-style, and you can fix the no bathroom-problem B^)
The friction hitch doors are the best feature hands down. I need to figure a way to adapt that tech to my house doors. Found my next project. Thanks man
These days, something like these travel trailers are ideal if you wanted to get a medium to large size for living in. With inflation and rent prices being so expensive, getting one and a little piece of land would be about as cheap as rent in most apartments or houses. I’m sure minimalist living isn’t for everyone, but for practical people that want to save money it would be perfect.
I think if you had a 20' trailer with that's with the couch that was a pull out bed and you had a and you had a halfway decent full bathroom with a small kitchenette then you've really got something
I just bought a small trailer (Lance 1475). Three things I needed: a REAL bed that wasn’t doubling as a dinette table or a couch, a dry bath, and a real kitchen. Otherwise, why not just camp in a tent?
Do these trailers have a spare tire? Must be mounted underneath these days. Nice looking trailers but not seeing a spare is the first thing that jumped out at me.
It makes a lot of sense to have twin beds. One sometimes wants to camp with someone other than a spouse; someone with whom you don't really want to sleep.
My experience, kitchens inside get very little use. Having everything smell like what you just cooked sucks. Pro tip: the g12srk has a 20 gallon water tank, a water heater, and a hose/showerhead for outside showers.
I was looking at some RV trailers at a motorcycle show last year and they had some small ones for around $16k and they were super nice don’t know the brand names because I’m not into them but I’ve been shopping for one for about a year now and I can’t believe the prices on the smaller trailers, you can get alittle bit bigger for a lot less money, which I don’t understand
@Stephen Koppe Like every camper. Built fast and furious and cheap as possible. Throw a flyer of pamphlet out with a river view campsite that is damn near impossible to hit unless you boondock and boom. Suckers buy. PS: I'm a sucker ;)
Great video. Thank you so much. There's only two of us so this is something that I've been looking for. Small easy to tow lots of features. I'll check out their websites for Price details. Please keep up the good work.
What would be nice if they made this outdoor kitchen swivel around to the inside that way if yuou wanted something you didn't hav to go outside to get and after you get what you wanted turn it back around especially during the Time it's raining snowing or just to cold be outside cooking
you should have known you were going to catch flack for that title, us streamers are a loyal bunch. I have a 92 excella that is almost 30yrs old and is a wonderful travel trailer. And can see it go another 30yrs easily.
Great video, but you seem to be adding the cargo carrying capacity (ccc) to the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) when you talk about what tow vehicle is needed. The gvwr is the unloaded (or dry) vehicle weight plus the ccc.
Tires are everything when you have a blow out more then anything. More trailer accidents caused by blow outs then anything else always check for bubbles and dry rot
geo pro s are great little trailers the G15TB would be even more awesome if the kitchen was a slide out kitchen for outdoor cooking on sunny days and a slide in kitchen for indoor cooking when the weather is not so great, give the engineers something to think about
I like to winter camp what would you recommend as far as RV or travel trailer , I need a well insulated. In the past travel trailers that was never a possibility, is there a such thing as in Arctic travel trailer or RV I have 06 Jeep lj it would only sleep two ppl & two dogs Thank you you do Awesome work
Interesting but... people should know if they are looking at Rolex or a Timex, in other words price, price price is pretty important. When you consider how many nights you'll actually use this each year and how long your'll keep it, what it will be worth when you want to sell it then you'll know if you are staying a something affordable or equal to a 5 star luxury resort. Also if you don't have some property and live in the burbs you'll also be looking at a monthly storage fee on top. These things would be so cool to rent, not sure about owning one.
Like the 15 tb but it needs bigger gray and black tanks 12 gallon is to small only good got 2-3 days . Needs a oven instead of a microwave, since microwaves are useless unless your hooked up not everybody goes to campgrounds with electricity.
I am 61 years old and have had them all. I currently have a 40 ft. fifth wheel, a 32 ft. class c, and a slide in truck camper with two slideouts. Trust me on this, get the smallest camper you need, not the biggest one you want.
Thats what I'm thinking, I would like the 30ft 5th wheel. But I'm only gonna get a 18ft travel trailer. Enough for a single person.
Best thing I read in a long time
Great Words From Earned Knowledge! Thank You For Enlightening Many' So To Save Time' Money and Much More! 🌎🌍🌏👍
Bought a 171RBXL 2020 Cruiselite in October 2019. Murphy bed just perfect design

Do any states apply lemon law to RVs?
Scot they are all lemons.
So many reviews on massive campers the size of houses it's nice to see see something basic. Camping is about getting out in the outdoors and a camper is just a place to keep your stuff and sleep 👍
RVing a totally diff mindset. Theyre not just weekending, for one thing. Its their HOUSE.
You’re confusing RVing for camping. Two entirely different worlds. People are LIVING in their RVs. Camping is a hobby not your lifestyle.
Something you can do both in isn't bad though. Hell, for someone like me, that 2nd one is *almost* big enough to live in. With a different floorplan, maybe it even could be enough space.
Exactly. So why the damned TV in all of them?
For the same price as a camper twice its size...
After living in a semi truck for 30 years, this is huge. I love it
The first one. Goes with my 2 door wrangler perfect
Pros: Excellent video with tons of info on each camper. Cons: The best camper videos tell you the price up front.
There’s no reason to put persons in your video, proves change all the time and within a few months of him putting out the video he would get nonstop complaining about how his prices are wrong.

@Ms. Tal you can't live wherever you want in this either little girl
These small campers always have a huge price tag. Thats always my issue.
I love the 2nd one, looking first my first camper and want something easy to manage. Looks like a perfect fit for my Dodge Dakota pickup
JoDell Moon yup
If this is going to be your first camper I would definitely buy that second one fully self-contained I would buy it myself if I didn't have my two campers!!!
im just stoned watching this. I can't afford one of these.
Lol 😂 me too!
Hell ya same 😂😂
Same man
Same
Lol. You can build one half the price if not less.
I've built them stoned.
"Have you ever built a travel trailer ON WEED!!!?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
I really hope your planning on staying there for at least a week. Being able to show us a ton of different TT's is absolutely great. THX!!!
Prices on these units would have been nice.
Or atleast a link in the description.
in the links under the vid, there is the site listed, the prices will make you have a heart attack
28000 & 15000
Wonderful units and it HIGH demand...that's why the prices are so high. Before pandemic they sat.
@@phyllisharris2766 they will continue to sit. People don't want these tiny tralers

Thanks, these are worth consideration for the class. Would be more helpful if you would mention price ranges.
"Primative" with a fridge, stove, microwave, and flat screen. Lol

No toilet-no way.
Primitive without a toilet and you have to cook outside.

MSRP for the little 12SRK is 16,137(with gaucho couch) and the 15TB is 21,366 but they have those prices lined through so it's abit less than msrp.
Not cheap either
Telling us the price would be nice on each tour .
You don’t want to know... lol made in a Democrat area
@@pauljohn5554made in a Democrat area?

as much as a house probably

It would be appreciated, very much, if you could include pricing on these trailers, and also their weight. Thank you! Joe
Id appreciate it if you just Google that info instead of making others do it for you.
Get on the website and do your own research
I think they are both cute and they are small. I would use the one with the bath room. They are cute. Thank you Jd for showing these campers especially from Grand Rapids. Have a great night and weekend and hope you had a great holiday.

My husband and I are going to be buying one of these soon!
The little wee one is super cute. I’d want a window in it and maybe have the kitchen altered in a way that I could use is while inside the camper on a rainy day
No one ever seems to notice or mention the extremely short and vertical back rests that provide absolutely no upper back support and will kill a back after an hour or so sitting like that.

What good are amenities if you can't sit comfortably waiting out an 8 hour thunder storm system. It took us 10 years and 11 campers to learn this stuff :-)
If I had the money I'd buy one of the Retro style trailers that are on the market; something that would look period correct behing my 86 GMC K2500 and my 85 Chevy C30.
Awesome! Very interested. My new '20 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 w/ 7500lb max towing could pull either of these effectively.
3:34 thank goodness they spell that out. I always associate TB with tuberculosis. 😁
Those Geopros are so cool! I could put one in the garage of my Raptor toy hauler and keep the kids in their own apartment!
And drag it out with an atv when you're ready for them to move out. 🙃
That’s all the little one is good for. I’d rather keep my big tent.
Shucks I was looking forward to seeing the third model :(
I like the second one. perfect for me my wife and little one.
Yes these are not “Airstream killers!”, but are Airstream budgetary compromises.
So cute! Getting some good ideas for our own upgrades…
After 25 years still haven't seen a better combination for me, than my 23' Airstream.
A friend of mine has one of these and he has had a lot of issues. Unfortunately he has not had a lot of support from his dealer. Forest River has been helpful but the dealer has been slow and no responsive.
I've had all kinds of campers and motorhomes sometimes those campsites you knew would not take a big camper so we had to leave it at home and camp with tents a few times so I never wanted 2 have to leave my camper at home ever again so I got a viking fq 17 foot fully loaded with everything in it !! We can take it everywhere I like your second little camper with a shower and bathroom my girlfriend and I don't like them without it LOL
My suggestion on the first one is a cassette toilet on the inside and a an outdoor shower set up near the kitchen easy peasy under the hood:-)
That little one needs a clip on screen house to cover the rear kitchen. Maybe a 270 degree canopy with screen house.
I like these compact trailers but was surprised the 16' weighed 3800#'s. I have a 20 Keystone Passport Ultra Lite that weighs 3400#'s and it is fully self contained. Has full rear bath, slide out sofa/bed, full fridge/freezer, oven and 4 burner stove top and a microwave. Has a rv queen bed (5" shorter than regular queen).

I have a little 5x10. I have done a lot to it. Looking forward to working on it more when it warms up. I need good storage tips.
We can’t find toilet paper so we just quit needing a bathroom anyway.
True true lol
How funny.
Your full of **it
The small one should have a thru area to the back kitchen so you could get to everything from the outside and the inside
You can easily tow either one of those with a late model Jeep Wrangler. I don't know where you get the idea you need a truck or large SUV for any single axle camper. I towed a 27' Fifth Wheel for 10 years with my unmodified 97 F-150 with no problems and hardly knew it was back there.
Yeah I wouldnt hesitate to tow the larger of those two with something like a Passport/Highlander or base model midsize pickup.

Needs to drop that table & turn it into a king or queen. They were doing that in the '70s, no excuse for missing that trick 50 years on...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that first, small one, looks like you could easily put in a water tank with a shower head attached to it yourself post-marked, in the roof of the kitchen area or something?

Personally I wouldn’t recommend a tow vehicle any smaller than a ford F750.
Class 8 or nothing...
Or any flipping camper I cannot stand up in. Sorry, otherwise my $400 tent will do!
Every full size SUV can easily tow that little pea shooter!

@@JeepCherokeeful you can't stand in it but it's always ready for you to get inside, no waiting for setup time. there's a tradeoff here
The first one is just a little roomier than a teardrop. With an outside galley, you're just gaining a little more room inside the "bedroom."
Do these trailers have a spare tire? Must be mounted underneath these days. Nice looking trailers but not seeing a spare is the first thing that jumped out at me.
It makes a lot of sense to have twin beds. One sometimes wants to camp with someone other than a spouse; someone with whom you don't really want to sleep.

Nothing can beat an airstream.
Why no mention of price? Isn’t that kind of the point? The smallest one for instance, If it’s 5k they’re really cool. If it’s 15k it’s ridiculous.
It's definitely not 5k, that would be way too cheap.
dedalliance1 s not actually a “floorplan”. It’s a box with a cushion in it.
I have one , you can pick one up for 9-10k

Get the chassis cab then take running gear off trailer mount it on the truck. Your set

@@victoryrider that would be the perfect rig get a 30ft enclosed trailer perfect Hotshot rig
@@garyburbank8895 now you're thinking.
great content! I am looking to get into this hobby, and your videos are a huge help. thank you!
Airstreams are high quality but super expensive. Thanks for the look at something neat.
These are great!!! I want one!
#2 is perfect!
How is it possible to give so much info without the most important fact? How much do they cost?????
@Stephen Koppe Like every camper. Built fast and furious and cheap as possible. Throw a flyer of pamphlet out with a river view campsite that is damn near impossible to hit unless you boondock and boom. Suckers buy. PS: I'm a sucker ;)
Google it... I did.
Because they cost too much money. The smallest and first one he showed is almost 14 grand.
The dealership I work at is selling them at around 20-40 thousand dollars. They are cool to work on but if you like small, check out the T@B's.

Great video. Thank you so much. There's only two of us so this is something that I've been looking for. Small easy to tow lots of features. I'll check out their websites for Price details. Please keep up the good work.
Much better than previous 12 ft configurations. At least now there is a sitting area as well as a bed
Never really been a fan of airstreams. Glad to see some Competitive trailers.
What would be nice if they made this outdoor kitchen swivel around to the inside that way if yuou wanted something you didn't hav to go outside to get and after you get what you wanted turn it back around especially during the Time it's raining snowing or just to cold be outside cooking
3 things things you didn't mention, does it have a cassette toilet the fresh water/ Grey water capacity, and where was the venting for the stove?
you should have known you were going to catch flack for that title, us streamers are a loyal bunch. I have a 92 excella that is almost 30yrs old and is a wonderful travel trailer. And can see it go another 30yrs easily.
Great video, but you seem to be adding the cargo carrying capacity (ccc) to the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) when you talk about what tow vehicle is needed. The gvwr is the unloaded (or dry) vehicle weight plus the ccc.
My Ford Escape is good for 3,500 lbs. perfect.
Tires are everything when you have a blow out more then anything. More trailer accidents caused by blow outs then anything else always check for bubbles and dry rot
Always like these small campers. My friend has one like that.
Can you do a review of the self driving coaches
geo pro s are great little trailers the G15TB would be even more awesome if the kitchen was a slide out kitchen for outdoor cooking on sunny days and a slide in kitchen for indoor cooking when the weather is not so great, give the engineers something to think about
weldee and a pass through window to get the food inside easier.
The smallest one, A small composting toilet could definitely fit in that. And portable shower could go outside
2nd is beautiful
I like to winter camp what would you recommend as far as RV or travel trailer , I need a well insulated. In the past travel trailers that was never a possibility, is there a such thing as in Arctic travel trailer or RV
I have 06 Jeep lj it would only sleep two ppl & two dogs
Thank you you do Awesome work
Prices at my local RV super center are actually quite reasonable for the many floorplans. Thanks for the info.
It would be helpful if you mentioned what size vehicle can tow the smaller travel trailers.
I love the 15ft with the sweet normal size flat screen.
That first little camper I wish the kitchen would be turned around so it's on the inside it could work
Maybe they could make it spin around, best of both worlds.
@@wes326 that would be cool and you can do anything with the right amount of money
Interesting but... people should know if they are looking at Rolex or a Timex, in other words price, price price is pretty important. When you consider how many nights you'll actually use this each year and how long your'll keep it, what it will be worth when you want to sell it then you'll know if you are staying a something affordable or equal to a 5 star luxury resort. Also if you don't have some property and live in the burbs you'll also be looking at a monthly storage fee on top. These things would be so cool to rent, not sure about owning one.
Tht second one u can pull it with any mid truck with v6
Why no prices?
Like the 15 tb but it needs bigger gray and black tanks 12 gallon is to small only good got 2-3 days . Needs a oven instead of a microwave, since microwaves are useless unless your hooked up not everybody goes to campgrounds with electricity.
