    Thank you for joining us as we unveil the first Cougar 30BHS to be seen across the nation! I had high hopes for this one and she didn't let me down!
    As explained throughout the video the specific RV seen in this video is actually Keystone's final prototype for this model. There are several changes that will be taking place before it goes into actual production such as the inclusion of their Solar Flex system as well as a booth-height floating bench instead of that far-too-short ottoman!
    I can't wait to see what you think about this one and my little chairs idea for that table space! LET'S HEAR IT!!

    Some things I feel they missed:
    Not a huge fan of cable slides but not a deal breaker. Reverse the hinges on the fridge for easier travel access. Separate upper & lower curtains for the bunks would be more convenient. If equipped with theater seating, the folding dining chairs would be a no-brainer. A shoe garage or pet drawer under the fireplace or bottom bunk step would be handy. I would opt for a queen bed to have a bit more maneuvering room up front. Reverse the opening on the shower door to enter from along the front wall instead of beside the toilet.
    Some things I feel they nailed:
    Awning stretches over both doors. Two styles of entry steps. The Goodyear tires on aluminum wheels. The heaviest parts of the floorplan being right over the axles. The flip up bunk/bike door & rear trunk. Generous swing arm for the TV. Counter space. Counter space. Counter space! Full pantry and 12V fridge option. I prefer the corner dinette in the rear & the couch in the slide. Second A/C option, but I'd like to see how effective the new ducting works before saying it's a must-have. iN-Command, solar prep, TPMS and camera prep. Auto leveling is nice, but it's usually noisy. The Hyper Deck flooring system is a welcome addition, a godsend for families with pets. GVWR of 9400# is heavy, especially for a half-ton, (you're probably not going to half-ton tow this trailer with the whole family loaded up with all their gear and provisions) but it's lighter than some competition and is zero degree & full-time rated.
    Overall, I think Cougar did an excellent job with their version of this layout, and if I were still in the trailer market it would be on my short list. I am curious about the weight specifics, but I would probably tow it with a 3/4 or 1 ton GM conversion van, the new Wagoneer or maybe--just maybe--an Expedition. I leave out pickups, because we're a family of five traveling with a dog, and long trips with less than three rows gets a little crowded. I would also be interested in how this trailer compares to the upcoming Coachmen Apex 266BHS.

      @MichaelGalletly 3 года назад +2

      In addition to everything s/he said, just make the doors with the integral shade from the factory already. This "thin shade ready" stuff is just a waste of time, especially at higher price points. Other than that, I don't really have any notes except--If the unit has a 12v main fridge, then the mini-fridge outside (if equipped) should also be a 12v mini-fridge. Here's why--I would access that for bottled water, sodas, etc more on the road than the inside unit--just pull over, zip back, get a couple bottles, and get back on the road, before the inside one with pull over, deploy the steps, maybe have to move the slide a bit (if even possible in the situation), get the bottles, close the slide, close the steps, close the door...
      On another note, can you, if possible, start telling us the tongue weight/hitch weight as well in the stats when available? It's another factor that limits what we can buy and guides us. Currently saving for a couple's camper so this unit is WAY out my range, but I love watching your videos.

      @jeffreybryson 3 года назад +2

      You'll be over payload with an Expedition.
      We tow our 2021 Alpha Wolf 26DBHL with a 17 Expedition Limited EL 3.5tt ecoboost. We did a week long beach trip with kayaks and paddle boards, and all the extra stuff for it being a week long trip. I barely was going 55-60 mph.
      We do a chase vehicle since and I'm back to feeling comfortable at any speed.
      It can pull all that weight, but it can't control it, especially if it's windy with side winds pushing a long camper.
      Stay safe out there...

      @@jeffreybryson I was working from memory on the Expedition Max tow rating, but I think you're right about payload. Ford likes to calculate that using a ridiculously light driver & no passengers or cargo. Personally, I'd go for the LWB GM conversion vans with the 6.6L L8T.

      @@stevez340 i do not know from personal experience, have not had rv of any kind yet, still looking for what i may want and maybe afford, but it seems to me that even though the 2 way works better far as being colder, the 12v fridge would allow you to not need propane at all if everything else but the the ac and microwave is 12v, since inverters eat battery power, you would not want fridge on the inverter 24/7, it probably would not even last the night, especially if you have to run the ac too, or a 110 tv, charging laptop etc. already lot of things on inverter off and on.... you might run out of propane when out there, or if you want to leave at last minute, not have time to stop and fill propane, do not have those problems with 12v fridge, ready to go at all times no matter what.

      @@tremjar1305A 12 volt "compressor" fridge is actually cooler than a 2 way? A two way fridge should last me at least a week off grid on a 20lb propane tank. A 12 volt fridge might last a day without multiple batteries and a couple solar panels. So if you want to camp off grid for a week with a 12 volt fridge have at least 2 batteries, 200 watts of solar and small generator just in case it rains?

    I would keep the sleeper sofa. The trailer is long enough that I think a lot of people would park it on a seasonal site. Extra sleeping for friends and family is always good. Also, I would do the 12v fridge for the same reason. I like 2 AC units, it gets hot and humid in the Midwest. Great camper!

  • @dorienulliac4687
    @dorienulliac4687 3 года назад +12

    Theatre seating is nice if there are two sofas, if there is only one a traditional comfy 3 seater would be my vote for those rainy movie nights seeing as it’s a family unit, also would be very valuable to have a linen closet in the bathroom even if bunks had to shrink a bit and a few inches was stolen from master. Family units need this type of storage in my opinion. 1 AC is usually enough for Northern Alberta. No opinion on the fridge yet as I only have experience with the gas/elec.

    @thedoitalldad765 3 года назад +4

    Theater seating is a must. Personally I would prefer the back bunks to have a wall. Then maybe cut out a long oval shape for each bunk for airflow and light. Use a curtain in each bunk to close it off at night. Current railing reminds me of a jail. 12v fridge

  • @tracyf.1148
    @tracyf.1148 3 года назад +3

    Hide-a-bed sofa so more than the adults can sit there! I see so many bunkhouses with "adults-only" seating.
    I do agree with your idea to give folding chairs rather than a bench. Pair of chairs would be great.
    And agree 12v fridge.

  • @stevenelson8560
    @stevenelson8560 3 года назад +5

    I like that, plenty of cargo space, especially if you don't have kids. I see that as more of a permanent site trailer, and all that storage could come in hand as the seasons and outdoor activity change. You could bring the whole famn damily up for fun and games and not have to worry about where to stash them overnight if necessary. If I was still a kid I want to sleep in that cargo area, I'd make it my fort or cave.

  • @roannathephoenix8561
    @roannathephoenix8561 3 года назад +3

    Theater seat would be cool but with that foot locker bench you could definitely put your feet up on that and still have the storage. Love that dinette set up.. Make a perfect lounge area for movie nights or if the weather is crappy.
    As far as the fridge I like the larger interior space of the 12vt but I don't think it has to be a make or break. Having the solar system would always be appreciated. Camping once and the power at the park went out. Had a generator because it was a Class C but without a generator that solar would be much appreciated.
    Love the bunk area and the spindled sides. The undercarriage storage is fantastic too. All ya need is a place for a washer dryer hook up & this would be a mama's dream.

    I don't like how much of the trailer hangs over the back of the axles. I would like to see the trailer axle set back a little further give a little more support to the back end of the trailer and maybe move a little bit of weight to the front of the trailer.

    • @zonacrs

    Loved the video uncle Josh. I showed this trailer to my wife and she said that this will be our next trailer when we upgrade our pop-up. You said in your opinion to use a 3/4 ton truck. What kind of cargo capacity would the truck truly need? For some of the questions you asked. I would want the theater seats, the second A/C for the bedroom. I like cold when I sleep and it can get warm and humid here in West Michigan. The 12 volt fridge sounds good. For that dining table, i would rather have a pair of normal chairs versus the bench or ottoman or even folding chairs. You can put the chairs in the bunks for travel and the chairs allow bigger/fluffy people to sit more comfortable around the table and play games/cards/eat etc. One thing would be maybe an additional plug on the kitchen wall by the entry door or under the cabinet for like a coffee maker or ice maker. The one plug all the way by the sink does not seem to be enough. Overall a very nice trailer and our future one hopefully.

    I like the "foot locker" as it offers storage and can be used as ottoman, bench, and bedding or toy storage. You can always grab a couple folding chairs. The matching bench is nice. A couple storage cubes would be a great option too. Same storage and use cases just more flexibility.

  • @terryhaynes1596
    @terryhaynes1596 3 года назад

    My thoughts, since you asked for it.
    - 12v frig
    - 50amp, 2 acs, I live in SD CA. But if any of the northern tier folk go south (anywhere south) you will wish you had two acs! Cheaper and easier to get it done at the factory.
    - how about an office option or a way to rotate bunks up on the wall and leave a desk under it? With so many full time home schooling families and folk that work on the road, an office option would be super! This is an ideal
    Floor plan for this.
    - recliners instead of theater seats. Much more comfortable
    - disc brakes!!!
    - upgraded suspension
    - 100% azdel!
    - I think they should not enclose the tv in a cabinet. If they drop the cabinet they can put a much larger tv on the wall. The tv can NEVER be too large.
    Nice unit.
    Great review as always.

    I think that this is a great unit for a family with kids. The hide-a-bed sofa makes it all the more family friendly.
    Honestly, it's extremely well thought through. Keystone really put their minds in high gear to keep it simple and practical.
    I'm not keen on the interior decor, though. Keystone needs to offer different decor options; however, I understand that the choice in this one is logical for a family with kids, because kids have a tendency to keep the family constantly cleaning up messes. 🤪
    Considering that it's a family focused RV, the only way that anyone should consider towing this model with a ½ ton pickup truck is either:
    a) If the rest of the family are following in a separate vehicle; or,
    b) If it's a properly equipped ½ ton; and the tongue weight doesn't exceed the truck's capacity.
    Realistically, any family will have so much gear inside the RV... and will likely travel in the tow vehicle; and with those weights, it puts it in ¾ ton or 1 ton range (depending on how much junk the family carries)
    Yes, it's ½ ton towable, but I'd say only for experienced drivers with the proper truck; and if it's for more than 3 people, a second vehicle might be necessary.
    One thing that came to mind, which I've never considered before: with a family of 4 or 5, sure there's enough bed space, but what about bathroom space? Also, how well do RV toilets handle the abuse of 10-15 bio-breaks a day can impose upon them. That's a lot of flushing. What about ventilation in the bathroom? How well are they designed to prevent odors from sleeping into the bedroom or kitchen/dining/entertainment area?
    I don't have kids yet, but I'm sure this question must come up in other people's minds. Even if friends, or extended family came along, that would be something they would face.

    I would be concerned about the tail swing. It looks like the axles need to be pushed back the width of the bunk beds. Hopefully that will be one of the modifications that Keystone makes to this model.

Upgrade to solarflex 400i, 12v fridge, theater seats, and so much more for 2 people. Josh is right, cut off the bunks and about 1600 pounds and it is the 25rds.

    I'm with you on the theatre seats and 12V fridge, particularly if paired with on of Keystone's new solar packages for off grid use. With the rear bunks, I'd go so far as to say free standing recliners would be bomb and potentially move out of the way for cot or floor sleeping if needed. This floor plan would be outstanding as a dedicated second home in a nice park where you aren't parked 3 feet away from your neighbor and have some private yard/hookup/picnic space. As long as it is, dedicated full hook up camp spots or easy access boondocking limit it IMHO. That being said a higher end seasonal RV park with spacious lots would make this thing shine. That's kind of my retirement plan, nice home base with nearby remote camping out of my truck with a topper.

    Hey Josh, I know you don't recommend towing this with a 1/2 ton truck but I have to have this one! We will only be doing relatively short distance camping and I have a F150 powerbeast hybrid truck. It has a 7.2 kilowatt generator built in for boondock situations. I want this with the 12 volt fridge, theater seats and second a/c. We live in the Atlanta area where it gets hot. We love your channel. Thanks for what you do!

    Yes on the 12 V fridge, chairs instead of bench and theater seating. Although saving the bench as a footrest would allow you to store the benches. I love the colors of floor and cabinets and what they did with the bunks. Top bunk needs it's own short privacy curtain. It's a great trailer!

  • @PastorwithoutaPulpit
    @PastorwithoutaPulpit 3 года назад +1

    For myself were I to purchase this model it's definitely a yes to both theater seating and the 12v fridge. Taller bench is perfect as long as it opens to add even more storage, it could even be extra pantry space. I'd also want to know if I could remove the top bunk and not weaken the structure of the RV. The metal work could stay be if I could remove that top bunk base board it would definitely be a huge plus. I could then remove the bottom mattress, throw down a rug or some flooring of some kind and put a desk and chair back there. Great little on the go office space if you get what I'm going for. It would also have to have two AC's for southern climbs 1 just isn't enough. Thanks Josh great walk thru and first look at a new model...

    THIS! This might the one! There are two things that we would like a little bit different, one is we wish it was a tub shower combination ( our autistic son loves taking baths) and two is it's not a private bunk room, but the trade off is ALL THAT STORAGE BACK THERE! I absolutely love this model. With 30 years as a truck driver I'm pretty sure I can handle the length ( towing with an Expedition with the heavy tow package) and the weight is right where it needs to be for our rig!
    Quick question? Does this model have the full-time living warranty? Since we will be living in it full time and traveling the country .
    Keep up the great work Josh! I think we may have found our new home!

    • @JoshtheRVNerd

      For clarity - I am not aware of an rv with a full time “living” warranty
      Cougars are covered for “full time RVing” which is about the best rvs offer. It means you can spend a lot of time in it, but not actually as a full time residence
      I am really not aware of it being a common problem for fulfillment though

    Hey Josh, since you seem to get the ear of the company on tweaks sometimes, here are 2 that I think would be great for this. 1 love that idea of the bench fitting inside the other bench, just have some folding or slide out legs to make it taller. A bench would be better for kids than chairs IMO. And 2 that wasted space in the corner between the sink and stove…do a counter top cut out and cover then stick a trash can with an out door access, so you can take it out from outside and straight to the dumpster, no leaky mess if you end up with wet trash!
    Otherwise I’m a 5th wheeler, but I really like this layout. Enticing.

Also, I'd vote for two fold away chairs over a movable bench. Putting two kids on a movable bench is just asking for a fight at the dinner table. "Dad!!! he wont stop moving the bench!" "He's touching me!", "You're on my side of the bench!"... No thank you.
