    I really like the bedside tables plus room to walk around.

    I like this for weekend & short trips. Love the island dining. Always a favorite. Cloth sofa works for us & space under the bed. Love the colors & kitchen storage works great. Bedroom storage & size does say short trips. We really need something full time while working on rehab but a small RV like this would be perfect for someone not needing full timer space.

    This is very nice for a smaller 5th wheel. I like the open storage under the bed. I also like that walking room in the bedroom and love the wood sink and side table tops. The swivel tables in the lounging area are also a smart idea. Nice RV. Good job, Myles.

    I really prefer fabric to hot, (or cold) sticky leather. But, it depends on the fabric. It needs to be a sturdy fabric that won't be worn out in a year.

    I love this. If I'm being picky I'd like the kitchen cupboards to reach the ceiling, and would like the option to have a convection microwave, à slightly bigger oven, and a porcelain toilet. I could overlook those things, that was being very picky, and they wouldn't be deal breakers.

    I prefer faux leather or leather covered recliners. Also I think they could have added storage under half of the bed, that would still leave a spot for a pet's bed as well

    This is a nice trailer. I like the sitting arrangement in the living space. The bedroom is very nice and like the open space under the bed. The smaller oven and popcorn bag only microwave are disappointing. A plastic toilet is very disappointing. Thanks for the tour.

    Nice rig! Love the big fabric couch for afternoon naps. Great detailing inside. Is a little cramped with the island tho .. too much side shuffling

  • @jordancook1668

    This is actually a very cool floorplan. Will the fridge door clear the island with the slide in? That's a huge blunder if not. I just wish it was a more premium build, lots of obvious cost cutting here. I'd love to see something like this in Solitude, Brinkley, or Montana-level trim/equipment spec. The dinnette is a better option, and it looks like they do offer it. It's also on the correct side; dinnettes should always be on the camp side or in the back since that's nearly always where the view is. This is what I'm talking about with sub-30 foot innovation. Really need more of these, and this is a solid attempt.

    Wow! Too funny! After years of telling everyone (and putting up comments to us deniers) in all your previous videos that these “half-ton towable” 5th wheels can be towed by a 1/2 ton truck, you have decided to tell them they are not? Myles stated below in this video in a comment “Sadly, seen people with very large followings boldly posting videos that this exact model or ones very similar are half-ton towable” (YOU, Myles, were ONE of the “large followings “ BOLDLY posting this unsafe information and trying to back it up). This unit can be loaded to 9500#’s, (you should never max out anything; your RV, tow vehicle, your washing machine, electric outlets, your spouse, etc.) per manufacturer’s website. Just add in the cargo weight and give the possible max pin weight. Always give the worse case scenario. So if you loaded to 9000#’s total x 20% = your pin weight would be 1800#’s sitting still in a parking lot. That 1800 lbs bouncing, chucking, etc can easily increase by 50% to 2700 lbs force, maybe more in emergency (it’s called physics). Less than a year ago Myles was promoting 1/2 ton towable 5th wheels in his videos. Now he has had an epiphany? Public Service Announcement: NO 1/2 ton should be towing any of these “1/2 ton towable” 5th wheels. Not even the other one he pointed to with “one slide out”. People don’t believe any of this 1/2 ton towable crap. Just erase that info from your mind. This unit is 28’ long and 12.5 ft high. Now if you want to know how that would feel, go to Home Depot with your 1/2 ton and load 1800 lbs of bagged concrete over your axle. Try to get it as close to 12’ height from ground, strap it down, drive down the highway 60 mph and do some emergency stopping and swerving. Get back to us how that felt. Now image you have additional 25’ and 7000 lbs of RV behind you pushing/pulling/bouncing during those emergencies. Not sure when 9000 lbs became “Light Duty, Light Weight, Small” or any other adjective manufacturers use. It will destroy that 1/2 ton and probably the family in front of you in that sedan on the highway. Oh!, Tow ratings are determined with flat bed trailers on a 11.4 mile course with a minimum required speed of 40 mph (35 mph for dually trucks) not with a 12’ high RV blowing around driving 100’s miles a day at 60 mph. Big difference!

    Wish they did solid core counters and that small oven may just be a deal breaker. The plastic stool is also disappointing. Skimping on the suspension system raises red flags about the rest of the construction. So many good things about the layout though.

    Does this unit have the whisper quiet ac? For future videos could you address the AC decibels. The common ACs are so loud.

    I agree with saying it isnt 1/2 ton capable, but also there are PLENTY of guys using a 3/4 ton SRW truck with 3000+ pin weight with a 15k trailer, they are overweight too!

      Myles was one of the biggest proponents for half-ton towable 5th wheels for the last few years until this video. Now he is back peddling so fast that he is going to lose his balance and fall off his bike. He took so much grieve from viewers in his previous videos that this is the first video that he questions half-ton towable 5th wheels. PS: djfitz. Love your comment about “built to haul air”. I may have to use that.

      @@jaccole if this is the first video you’re seeing of me talking about tow-ability with fifth wheels being labeled as half ton towable, you’ve missed a lot of my videos. I’ve made whole entire videos dedicated to this topic alone months ago. But I will admit, I was the sales person at one time that was under educated because there wasn’t enough information out there for me to come across to understand why these RVs aren’t actually half ton towable. I’m trying to change that so people don’t get tricked into thinking it’s a safe move like I was at one point in time.

    Love the floor plan. Accu-slide cable system should be a deal breaker for everyone. Worst slide system ever used. The manufacturer BAL has replaced it with the improved exact-cable slide system 4 yrs ago.

    Don’t like the open under the bed or the light coloers . Just more cleaning to keep them white and harder to see what you have under bed. And harder the get it out.

  • @traceychatman6557

    It looks cheap. It will most likely, will break apart going down the road. Storage underneath the bed is not practical unless you modify. If not, your bins will be everywhere during travel. Quality above all else
