We recently bought this same model. We tow it with a 2017 GMC Acadia with 3.6 liter and it does well. We’ve camped one time and have a couple more trips coming up. A couple comments. 1. She talks of refrigerator makes a small amount to noise. I would say no noise at all and will be drowned out by noise from Air Condition, we call it white noise. Otherwise it’s a spacious fridge and kept our ice cream rock hard. 2. The sinks are a bit small but not a deal breaker for us. Electrical outlet under dinette should be over table when in table position. When table is down outlet is right at cushion surface and unusable. 3. Outside storage doors are held open by some clip screwed to trailer. Magnet would be more user friendly. Storage door latches can only be operated with key. A pain if you want to leave them unlocked they are just flopping partially closed. 4. Cubby hole behind wardrobe closet at head of bed is big enough for my cpap machine. Also USB plugs only on left side. How hard would it be to run one on right as well as at dinette and behind kitchen sink. 5. Storage under bed is big enough for me to fit in and I’m pretty big. 6. Fantastic fan should be standard. Bath fan they do put in is ineffective. 7. Lastly we are quite pleased with gray colors inside and out. A welcome change from browns of other units. 8. Bathroom is quite spacious as well. No slide, but we’re not missing it either. 9. Usually just the wife and I but may occasionally have 2 grandkids, have plans to make a improvised bunk bed where dinette is that can be removed when no kids. 10. Forgot to mention that lights over bed are very bright shining down and doubt you could use them as reading lights as stated in video. Could I guess if you were propped upright in bed. They should have put in stalk type amiable light with dimmer. For that matter all interior LED’s should be dimmable. Would be nice if awning LED strip was dimmable as well.
Love the look of these NEW Retro trailers! The black and white checkered floor would have given my epileptic friend seizures, so NOW I’m looking to buy one of these! So happy that they pre-wired it for solar too! 👍😎
Thank you for the tour of this little guy. Very nice trailer.
This is a very nice small travel trailer. Very nice for how small it is. Thank you Pj for showing this travel trailer.
Wow PJ , great trailer. I just wish the sink was a little bigger. If I had the money and a place to park them , I’d get 5 of them .
P.J., I love your videos!! I never miss one!! I have watched some of them several times!! You are a wealth of info for those of us who are still learning about this exploding "new" industry!! Thank you so much!!
Birdie right I love her one on the intech sol that unit is such a awesome one to see her show off it’s cool features
Always love your comprehensive, methodical presentations with good camera work too. In future, would you please consider showing and mentioning threshold height and width of entrance door. Some of us are mobility challenged and this information helps when considering a rig that is handicap-friendly. We are experienced RV-ers, but now one of us has limitations. We want to buy a new lightweight, compact rig that is more nimble than our big fiver. We plan on using a portable ramp and are looking for a floorplan easily modifiable for better accessibility. Aisle width is important, as is the ability to open up a bath for better access. Removing one side of a dinette can help too. I know this is possible, but I hope more manufacturers go the extra little effort to use wider doors wherever possible; that would be a good start for many of us, and surely not cost much more to build for a few selected models.
Cute trailer!
Another great tour thanks PJ!
I don’t need the trailer, but you sold me on the refrigerator!
Haha. Funny! Good one!
I love your videos. It would be nice to see folding chairs in the storage area. I can’t tell how big they are.
A bit confused. You referred to it as a 179, but also a 193, then a 195 & maybe a 173 as well.
So which one is it actually?
The Easel Rider She also called it a stainless steel aluminum sink.
For a very stylish trailer, why do they crap out on bathroom fixtures? They look cheap.
id like to see a Stainless - Aluminum sink. kinda hard for different metals
Your videos are very informative. I have two questions. Are you going to do a video on the retro 179 2021 model? My second question is will you be doing a technician tour video?
I.like it good luck ..
I have one question the sink is very small is that something you can upgrade?
glad we found you at bluwave odyssey Livestream. New sub here for you.
Nice job!
Hello is there an exhaust fan in the bathroom? I do like compressor frigs, but is that an option? I would prefer no oven, but do you get the nice grill on top if you dont opt for the oven? Thanks and Cheers?
Jon
The refrigerator doors should open the other way.
Yeah, I noticed that right away. Can the handles and hardware be switched to open "correctly"?
This trailer, is full aluminum build?
I am kicking and screaming to have No inside kitchen. No micro and no tv. Do want a bathroom. What you got?
Neat little package 🙂 but you did not mention the price range ☹
From this vid, I would give it 👍👍
Running Deer it says 19k right in the video
2020's are selling for around 16,000 right now
The spec page at the end of the video does not match the trailer shown.
Oh Man!!! That's embarrassing! Thanks for spotting it and letting us know. Not much I can do about it now that it's uploaded, but I'll surely improve the quality control measures for future videos! Thank you!
Stainless steel aluminum sink?
Why is black so small????That’s what prevents me from buying
Would Princess Craft consider doing a custom tear drop like the Retro 195 but with rear bunk beds?
We’re just a dealership, not a builder/ manufacturer. The idea sounds neat, though!
Indian playlist show me Leon's playlist
What is the price as shown?
"ah right" :D
PJ how tall are you? To give the RV a little scale.
PJ is 5' tall. The camera guy is 6'4". (granted, you can't see him for scale)
@@PrincessCraft PJ's height is great if you're looking for a Nucamp. Don't have to worry about hitting your head!
What is the weight

Average Shipping Weight (lbs.) 3,360
Hitch Weight (lbs.) 520
Carrying Capacity (lbs.) 1,160
Exterior Width 8'
Exterior Height of Unit 9' 2"
Ceiling Height of Unit 6' 5"
Axles 1

Is the overall length from hitch to rear bumper?
Yes
@@PrincessCraft I should have asked how long this model is from the tip of the thong to the rear bumper. I have about 21 feet of space to park a trailer while parked at my residence. I am considering this RV as temporary quarters while I work on my cabin build in the New Mexico mountains. Then this RV would serve as a little cozy guest house or travel trailer when ever I want to go somewhere.
Just a RPod. Rv's lose value way to quick
Je n'aime pas la couleur et la texture des murs.
This is too flimsy .
i just owned a practically new major-brand popup and took it for one weekend outing. The build quality was sub-par. Got rid of it. High hopes but low satisfaction.
Flat roof. 👎
So what's retro about it?
