The mid bunk could also be an office. The challenge of this as a first time user is the idea of a person not familiar with Trailers pulling something this long. I like the hallway and the 3 ac’s.
Agree fridge should be a little further right for room around stove. Front kitchen living room looked great. Better be close to a park bathroom though.
I'm 62, helping out my 85 yr old father. He might live 4 or 5 more years. At which point I plan to by a trailer to put in a park in New Mexico. I owned a stick framed, filon sided 26' travel trailer for 12 years. Bought it new in 2000. It delaminated, and developed a leak that rotted the base under the shower. Slide out motor failed on me, a/c went out a couple of times. And I didn't tow it but once every 2 or so years with job transfers. My concern is anything I buy lasting the rest of my life. I have health issues so anything bought in my mid to late 60's will probably not be needed more than 10-15 years. I just don't have the retirement budget to be buying every 6 or 7 years. So my question is how durable would a metal sided, wood framed trailer in the desert be? Beyond the initial towing, and my trailer showed cracks in the walls from being initially towed half way across the country, if it's just sitting will it last? Dry air, rare humidity, little rain. I'll be at 4400' elevation so not the severe heat of southern Arizona. I'd rather pay more if I know a trailer will last, but obviously if I could get something like this for less and its durable enough then great. Just can't afford to watch a trailer fall apart around me because it's not built to last. Would love your opinion. And due to neuropathy I can't climb ladders so don't see myself maintaining the roof. Would have to pay someone.
This makes me want to call it, "The Long, Long Trailer 2". Thinking of the movie with Lucile Ball and Desi Arnaz. But more modern. Those baskets in the bunkroom would be kind of hard to get to with the bunk beds right there. Also, don't know why, manufacturers like to put the stove next to a wall, not enough room for the handles of the pots and pans, and should put some kind of backsplash around it too. An over the range microwave with convection and air frying would be a better solution, 4 appliances in one (vent hood, microwave, convection oven and air fryer). Why a separate vent hood? There would be more cabinet space if they would have put a multi-function appliance instead of a vent hood and a microwave that doesn't have convection.
Hey JD,I hope you're having a great day! I like this travel trailer but the bunk room is super small. The top bunk there is no room for a person to lay down an be comfortable, with the small space between the top bunk anthem ceiling of the slide-out it would make someone Claustrophobic. But other than that it's a great travel trailer. Thank you JD for showing us this unit. Your number one fan an friend Leonard from North Carolina.
I was a little disappointed. That bunkroom seemed really cramped and I feel like sleeping in those bunks would be like sleeping in a coffin. I also don't feel that it needs 3 air conditioners. The bunkroom doesn't need it's own. They could have ducted the bedroom air conditioner into the bunkroom and saved the customer some money.
Front kitchens are my favorite, however I am never a fan when a stove is close to the sidewall. There should be room on both sides of the stove. This happens so often in an RV. I would never buy an RV with a stove close to the wall
I like that RV..but...I really wish all manufacturers would incorporate washer/dryer set up...even a small single combo unit.. an RV set up like that and 2 comfortable seats.???...rip out the dinnette..add more seating and stow-able tables. so much space taken with those huge booth things..they are uncomfortable and how much time do we spend 'eating'? OR.. Folding bistro set with chairs..stow it in the corner when not needed. boom..done...
@@jamesmclamb9127 yeah that’s about as reliable of them telling you there’s a half ton towable fifth wheel. So far there’s 7 people agreeing needing three axles .
@@jamesmclamb9127 OK so you’re not thinking it can sleep seven people. Food, clothes, other supplies. All weigh more than you think. Besides get in an accident, be overweight and it’s a different story. Also, the length the length needs support underneath it.
Okay, do like that midbunk area, but do not like that low slide! Like: 3 ac units for the length, but 1 bathroom (and with a plastic toilet..... ) nope
Thanks for the review, but this is definitely not for our family. I'm not a fan of stick and tin. They seem very low quality and cheaply made. I would love to see more 2 bedroom, 2 full bathroom models.
Way to long! JD would love to understand the physics by taking somthing t his long and heavy and ayaching I y to a tiny little ball hanging a foot off the back of a truck it looks like a trouble waiting to happen
Too long to pull even with an HD truck. There is a lot of mass behind the truck bumper. The physics for a reasonably comfortable towing experience are not favorable.

Another good review. No mention of washer/dryer prep. Would probably only be combo unit. Big trailer.
I like the way you present the trailers you show.
Pretty awesome, but I'd only want that for a seasonal site.

Nice floor plan. Almost a destination type unit, but actually towable.

My complaint is the living room. For being 38' long that is just not enough seating. Sleeps 4-6, living room seating for 2.

I love it, I think it would make a great first camper for a family! Very nice!!
JD I concur with your idea in the kitchen of switching the sink and the stove top! That would be a nice cook/prep area. Good looking trailer!
Washer and dryer hookups are in the last closet you looked in.
Nice for the price. Still more of a destination trailer to me being that long.
Nice unit it's not my cup of tea but hey I like it.
Where does the washer/dryer go. Big sticker on the outside saying it's prepped but I didn't see where

Nice good price
Nice rv jd. I have never seen this price point with otallleveing on it. Have a good day!
Just letting you know i am extremely hard of hearing and i can hear you just fine when you are outside. No apology needed. 😁
For me I’m disabled and I’d do away with bunk room and make the bathroom handicap accessible
Not bad
The review is good.... I hate the TT. It's weird to walk into that big blank wall.
I don’t like the layout or kitchen. I like the ac units.
I was a little disappointed. That bunkroom seemed really cramped and I feel like sleeping in those bunks would be like sleeping in a coffin. I also don't feel that it needs 3 air conditioners. The bunkroom doesn't need it's own. They could have ducted the bedroom air conditioner into the bunkroom and saved the customer some money.
Thanks for the video. That's a huge stick and tin. I'm assuming not heated underbelly and no Azdel eother..

4:20 My Melody plushie spotted.
Its a nice rig, but i think the 263fkds is more of my style at the moment being that i dont have any kids.
Should be 3 axles.
Totally unnecessary
@@jamesmclamb9127 yeah that’s about as reliable of them telling you there’s a half ton towable fifth wheel. So far there’s 7 people agreeing needing three axles .
So loaded up it weighs under 12000 lbs. Triple axles?
Come on man.
I think JD is being overly dramatic recommending a dually. But that's just me.

nope
Puny axels and should be 3 with the length and prone to sway when semis pass
Thanks for the review, but this is definitely not for our family. I'm not a fan of stick and tin. They seem very low quality and cheaply made. I would love to see more 2 bedroom, 2 full bathroom models.
Recommend a dually for that? How about just a 3/4 ton with a "properly set up" quality brand WD hitch with sway control.
Didn’t show price sheet?
That thing is a freight train.
Feels like a train car. For as big as it is, would like a bigger kitchen and bathroom. Layout isn't for us.
Don’t like vents in the floor
Mid bunk belongs on a Submarine. Otherwise nice unit.

Not a very good use of Space.
I'd put my Grand Design Reflection 31MB 5th wheel against this thing any day.
For a Travel Trailer it's way to long !!!!!!
Ok but not for me
40 foot long….living room seating for 2. No thanks
