*HEY EVERYBODY! A few folks asked if the link for pricing and availability was wrong -- it isn't but apparently we sold out of these between the time I recorded the video and the time it was published! Apologies for that. I *think* this was running in the 20's but a team member at one of our Shasta-stocking stores can assist you in more detail! Sorry about that!* -Josh
@@Back_door_bandit_98 I see duallies haul single axles here to our store. It’s hilarious. I always tell the driver “BOY YOU AINT GOT ENOUGH HORE FOR THAT CART” and theh always laugh
We own a 2020 Shasta oasis 26db. It's a different layout but as for the brand, you are spot on with everything you said. This was our first camper and it has been great to learn on. We wanted something nice but easy to operate and not break the bank. So far it has worked well and we have had a lot of fun using it. We are learning what we like and don't like so that we can upgrade down the road when we are ready. I would 100% recommend this for a new camper owner or someone looking for a better than average travel trailer.
9:11 a little pet door to their play pen #SmallDog 🐶 or a litter box for a cat 🐱 + storage for their toys, etc. (food too if you put it in flat plastic totes so they can’t get into it) 🤤
yes please show more of the Shasta line of trailers , the 2300 lbs cargo # is crazy for a budget level or entry level price point most brands like Wildwood will put under size axles on there trailers at this price point
I love my 2021 Shasta 26DB, I feel Shastas are simple yet durable TT’s. Josh I’ve been a big fan of your RV reviews. So I was very excited when I saw a Shasta on your feed. To hear what you think of the brand. And about those pockets on either side of the bed. My wife and I use long utensils trays and put things like keys, phones & wallets.
the stealing the steps move.... i love it.... that is dedication to the customer, i used to work at a center that rented to own all forms of home items, and would repossess them if you were just a few days late on payment sometimes... we used to do similar.... and it always worked out in the customers favor when we had to for some reason. end up with a higher value item for the lower price just becaue of some.... unforseen issue or possible screw up even, on our end. cannabalize a projection tv bulb from a rather new tv to put in the older one dude bought because that one went out a week later, now he has new bulb no charge, and the relatively new tv it came out of gets a brand new one again when comes in.. we did it so the first customer would not have to wait a week or more with no tv... we could fix it within an hour doing this... win for both tv customers. (about 15 or so years ago, those models were not around long compared to others)... love the trailer in general also, one of my favorite type floor plans that are non toy hauler models of this size... light and basic is best for this size and price point... increases storage capacity a bit... if i was shopping one of those take this one or nothing for the right price thing... as no other options (like private party sales, or my finance situation allows for this but not that etc)... yes i would buy it. nothing wrong with it for what it is at all. almost fully usable closed in turtle mode.... about all you cant do is lay out theatre seats... np..... all that storage allows you to bring whatever you want that is not included to your choices, including the outside kitchen lol.... far as that goes i would take it regardless, still outside my budget lol.... that used lot down the road is more in line with my finances personally..... but i do love seeing all these things of all types, 4k rigs to 4 million dollar rigs.... they all have their good points and bad.... would you like to trade jobs for a couple weeks?... i will go review rv and explore, and you can work in my place for me, deal craps (dice game) in a las vegas casino. this not where i work, but a good example of what you will be doing. ruclips.net/video/SqE7ayZ9gn8/видео.html right now i just deal that game, one of the 3 in same shirts.... but i am qualified and have done the job of supervising 6 of those tables at once, the boss above the boss sitting among them. the dude in the suit you do not piss off or large men in uniforms remove you from my presence.

@@JoshtheRVNerd Me too that's why I date my Philippina girlfriend lol ..I live full time in my 2005 styline layton 25 foot travel trailer . I gave my house to my Son when cov hit . Hopefully I will buy a newer one some day and when I do I will head your way...I'm in the west Virginia mountains ⛰, I'm a retired coal miner . You are the True RV Nerd 🤓 and the best RV information guy on RUclips ....Thank you I've learned a ton .
As you say, this is a great implementation of a standard design. I *REALLY* like the wider shower instead of a radius shower. Upgrading to a porcelain toilet would be a nice improvement. I wish that the kitchen sink was in the corner of the L so that there were more working/dining space on the end of the counter run. I would definitely upgrade to a full queen mattress. The bedside storage would be improved if they just left an open space below the hanging storage. I would consider this model even without those improvements; but this could go from really good to great with just a few tweaks. Thanks for another solid review.
First of all: Thank you Secondly - I think one of the benefits of a model like this is how the cost savings allows people to apply little updates and tweaks like that while still likely saving overall vs a “loaded up” version of this layout
Im interested in this style of camper. Im plannin on coming up in a week to check out some relative alike floorplans. I am wanting one to homestead out of.
Your videos are great👍🏻 We have a 2020mshasta 25rk and we absolutely love it - the Color’s are different (better in ours I think). Interesting that this one doesn’t have solar prep - ours does
Josh, I'm kind of new to rv shopping. Have you ever done a review of LIV trailers? I just saw an ad and they look interesting. I like their no wood selling point, but don't know if it's hype or not. Simple, lightweight, and cheap is what I'm attracted to! 😆
OK Josh..... Well, I thought the link was messed up, then I looked, and no, y'all must just be out of the 20 RB.... But man, that 25RB, at that price, whoa!!! It has the outside kitchen on it, and I'm guessing its a bit longer, I wanna see that one now!!! But on the 20RB... I like it, doesn't have all the bells and whistles on her, but she's doing some good basic things here with the size and space that you have to work with... The larger steps, kitchen counter space, actually having multiple drawers, and the storage in the bathroom has doors on it (Thank you Shasta!!!) The nice sized rectangular shower, and the space to put a full queen bed in it... And its a N-S bed that you can walk around thats not a murphy... For the price point, she's doing good!!!
Actually.. the link IS correct. Just checked. Apparently we sold out of these between the time I recorded and published the footage. Apologies! I'm not surprised this one is popular. It's a strong balance of a great layout, light weight, and accessible price tag (mid 20's I think?)
Cute little couples camper! But, it needs struts on the bed,it needs pull out drawers next to the bed, not pockets! Would like a light in the pantry or in front of the pantry. And a window in the door would give you more light. Needs a theater seat cause the jackknife sofa is horrible! But overall, nice couples camper!
I think its a very nice little camper. Finishes and color are prettY nice in my book and a little shimmy to get to the bathroom in road mode is fine by me. And I like that one tv can be added with a swing to see in each room. I quite like this one.💗👍
I really like this trailer, even the jackknife sofa. I'd attach hinged padded footrests, or even one of those inexpensive, padded, storage cubes. I like the wide open space under the bed, good for clear Sterilite storage bins. Great storage in bathroom. Enclosed underbelly. Very nice decor. 👍👍👍🇨🇦🙋
I like it, would love to see more of these , this level Another question, once the slide is in, is it usable? can i sit on that sofa with the slide in ?
I'm not in-depth familiar with shasta's construction & EXACTLY how they do their slide. Until verified I would recommend to presume you cannot for safety-sake A team member on site can dive into that for you as needed!
I really like the lighter finishes and storage in this camper. The kitchen counter space is very good in this and it has the larger refrigerator plus pantry space. I would appreciate a little bit wider drawers in the kitchen as I think it would be easier to hold a standard utensil organizer if the drawers were wider. But you can probably work around that. The camp Queen is not ideal but it looks like there's a way around that as you said and I appreciate the sidestand space and the hanging space around the bed. I'm curious as to what the storage space looks like beside the refrigerator as the doors I don't believe we're open when you showed your full view. I'm not sure if there's additional hanging space over there or if there are built and shelves for the pantry space. The sofa seat looks pretty decent and you're right I think it makes a wonderful dog bed! I think I would tend to carry some foot stools that I could use in front of the sofa to put my feet up on and then at night possibly use them underneath the bed to support the additional length of the residential queen mattress I would have to put in there. I really appreciate the fact that there's a rectangular shower rather than a tub and I don't think the leg space is an issue for me but it is a bit tight in the bathroom. The one camper my family owned was a Shasta back in the very early 1970s so seeing this brand still around is a little nostalgic for me. I didn't realize Forest River was owned by Berkshire Hathaway. I live in Omaha which is the home of Berkshire Hathaway so there you have that for what it's worth. I appreciate seeing some of these smaller campers for those who are in the market for an affordable weekend camper.
@@JoshtheRVNerd yep. I live right near Mr. Buffet. He still lives in the same house he bought 50 years ago. A pretty regula guy from what I understand.
Not directly, though they're a subsidiary and "sister" to the Jayco RVs we offer here. Their stick and tin models are VERY similar to a Jay Flight While their laminated models are essentially Highland Ridge RVs (Starcraft and Highland are actually essentially the same company behind the scenes btw)
Sentimental for me as I grew up with a Shasta trailer. I too was very impressed with this model. Has all the basics covered, and looks to do a great job at it.
Nice, would be a great camper for a couple or single person. Great things come in small packages. This is on my list for retirement camper. Thank you for the tour.
lol I was just talking to East to West about getting rid of them yesterday. The Product manager to whom I was speaking said "you know.. I've had all sorts of different RVs over the years. They've all had outside speakers. I've never used them. I use a speaker just like you said... and I never thought about that" I think outside speakers are something that may slowly fade over time
Josh: Like the looks and no slide outs of the Shasta 21CK better. Very similar to the Jayco 212QB. Scuttlebutt has it that Bish’s might just have one of those 21CK’s hiding in the inventory in Coopersville along with this Shasta 20RB. Na! If there was a Shasta 21CK in Coopersville, Uncle Josh would have said so already.🤣😊🤣😊 Must just be a typo. Respectfully, W.S. P.S. OMG didn't scroll down far enough. A Shasta no slid fore and aft bed 18FQ ALSO at Coopersville? Will wonders never cease? 😊😊
Love it! I like these little, unassuming trailers. I come from a place where I feel camping and campers don't need to be fancy. Just functional. I grew up tenting and backpacking. I have an autoimmune disorder that makes me really sensitive to cold. So we got a simple little camper to use during the cold months.
In the word: yes. But I have over 6000 videos on this channel and we have thousands of RVs in stock. Is there anything you’re looking for specifically that could help me narrow this down? There’s so many opportunities I don’t really know where to begin.
I drop a link to the search for this brand+model on our site where current pricing is listed (unless we are sold out). Pricing changes regularly with time so that allows us to generally provide current and accurate info If we are sold out, then I apologize I do need to ask you to drop a note to our team at www.bishs.com/contact/ for figures as I do not have access to something like a master pricing file
@@JoshtheRVNerd I know I was just hoping that you could say something like MSRP 22000 but would probably sell anywhere from 18 to 16000 that way we get some idea😊 I watch a lot of these shows about RVs. Someday I will get one... You are my favorite. Just saying. LOVE your Humor
I have a 2016 Shasta 21CK and it has been excellent for us. It got us from our empty nester period to retirement with our Rockwood. My son now has the Shasta. I still believe Shasta is the best value in campers.
I am digging this one. Just enough fluff without the extra price tag. I would like a hard shower door or at least one of those curtains on a track so you don't get attacked in a little shower but that's just me. :-)
This floor plan solves many of the problems we have with our Freedom Express 204RD. The bathroom is much better and in a better location. The gray and black tanks are larger. It's weight is very close to the 204RD. The one thing it doesn't have is a dinette. Is a dinette an option instead of the sofa?
I don't care for the larger baggage door on the curb side. The extra storage "box" outside makes it more difficult to get into bed inside. Make both doors & storage the same size & move on. Also, in road mode, would a full size queen mattress work ?
I *think* there was room for a true queen with the slide closed but apparently failed to verify. A team member at a store who carries these may be able to get more detailed info like that for you.
HEY UNCLE J, LONG TIME NO CONVERSATIONAL…..I LIKEE THIS SHASTA, ALTHOUGH IM A “ CHUNKY MONKEY”OF SORTS , THE BATHROOM WOULD BE A LITTLE TIGHT ON DA LEGROOM, IS A 1/2 UPPER CABINET DO-ABLE INSTEAD? ALSO IS THERE A DEALER NEAR SAN DIEGO AREA….OR 100 Miles of ?
Do you guys still do RV rentals? I live in Hillsdale and remember watching a video of yours awhile back and mentioned something about being able to rent an RV through you guys, but that was before you guys changed your name.
Don’t know if this is even possible, but looking for a small trailer or 5th wheel to take to grad school, would definitely need a 4 or all season capability as I would be in mountains potentially. I am looking for one with enough space to leave a small traveling spinning wheel out without tripping over it or constantly having to move it around.
I'm actually quite surprised at this one! Quite nice for a small one! While I"m not a fan of a fridge being in the rear due to the shake, rattle and roll, I am a fan of the entry door being at that end of the trailer on small ones like this. The only models with a door at the bed end that I like are the Murphy bed models. There's just something off-putting about entering eye level with a mattress. I"m curious - have you ever gotten your paws on a Back Country trailer or the toy haulers from Outdoors Rv?
Nice couples camper. I wish Forest River would put a window in their doors. It has plus and some drawbacks but for the most part a lot of people will like it!
I like it. Checks most the boxes and the affordability factor is big. I assume it wouldn't be to difficult to upgrade a few things. I thought when you had the slide in looking towards the camper queen you were going to comment if a true queen would fit. It appeared it would.
I see a lot of smart, common sense design in this camper! A household outlet right next to the ample counter space, not under the cabinets! What a concept! Good walk around space by the besides. Rectangular shower AND linen space in that sized bathroom ! Nice pantry! Did it have a black tank flush? If so I'm ALL in on this one 😁
The Missus and I are having a good laugh. Ok, go over to the theater seat, sit down on the bathroom side. Now look towards where the TV is to be installed, and tell me what ya see??? If our guess is right, we there is a hilarious design fail here :p Could be wrong, could be wrong for sure, but it looks like there is a visual issue If We are right, someone is going to get a swift kick in the shorts ;)
Can you give me a minute marker please? So many videos & so many comments I just can't scroll thru them to find stuff like this. It would be super helpful. Just type something like 12:34 and youtube makes it a link right to that spot in the video
@@JoshtheRVNerd what it looks like, it if you sit in the seat close to the bathroom. As you look towards the tv area, the sink faucet impairs a persons ability to watch the TV. The faucet appears to be almost of the visual area. Shown multiple times during video. Will get times in a bit. It’s a Dr. Day to be sure.
K.I.S.S principle in full effect here! Get you a couple tv trays or a little folding table and you got yourself some dinofa action going on. Always like to see a big pantry. Plenty of space for my pop-tarts! I appreciate they didn't worry about outside speakers. Were those 30 gallon propane tanks in front?!? 😮This is just a nice entry level rig for a young (or older) couple.
I'm really impressed by this. For the price that's a fantastic model. If you could theatre seat or have that flip up leg rest I've seen on some models I'd be even more interested.
I would like to see other floorplans from Shasta using this same philosophy of simple but not cheap. I don't need all the fancy gizmos, because I use a camper as a place to sleep and hide from the rain. Also a camper like this leaves things open to make more personal touches and customizations
I like the idea of a simple, well-built, affordable travel trailer. I have no interest in having a television or audio system at all. I just want the basic features that this model offers.
See I'm similar. I don't need fancy gadgets I like them. They're fun. But that's not why I'm camping. BUT I also get there are plenty of people spending more time in their RVs who may need those Glamptastic features
Well built & travel trailer don’t belong in the same sentence. Like most products built today if you get 5-7 yrs out of one of these trailers your lucky.
Wow!!! That is surprisingly functional. It would be great for the weekender or a couple with one small child. Definitely not a full time or long term thing but great for a week. Definitely need a TV so you can watch NASCAR on Sunday. But other than that it looks great. Love the large 12v fridge and love the bathroom storage cabinet. Pat
Josh, I have a semi-related question. Do you know if Shasta 5th wheels are the same as Chaparral but the labeling. They appear the same other than the wood tones. Also do you carry the Shasta Phoenix 5th wheels at Bishs
Good eye! You're absolutely correct! Phoenix and Chaparral are literally 100% the same thing I don't see where we currently have any Phoenix models in our lineup but here's some chaparrals bit.ly/3IHihx4 if you'd like to look/compare
I like the minimalism, the L shaped counter feels like an improvement over my RockStaff. And the bathroom by the rear door makes for excellent road mode, even if you can't get at the bed. The one thing to make it better would be windows in the side of the slider. That sofa inside the slider feels claustrophobic. The biggest mishap is those little cubbies by the bed. Anything that gets pushed to the back would be lost forever! Either make it a drawer, or leave it completely open space as other trailers do. i wonder if Shasta was trying to differentiate, "fixing" something that wasn't broken.
*HEY EVERYBODY!

This camper is just great. Storage, big fridge, couch, eating area, space, good bed. Only thing is no bathroom counterspace. Still cant rlly beat it
This is a really price-sensitive brand too. I've seen these run in the budget range of a lot of used rvs
It's definitely a glamper compared to a tent! I really like this one.
You know.. I love this. Perspective is a wonderful thing
Great floor plan an a person could do their own fixing up an solar install nice camper
4:09 yeah, I like this decor 👍🏽
TY Sam!
My parents first camper was a Shasta , brought back some good memories , oh by the way that was 1968.
I have an Alpenlite 28’ travel trailer and this one even though it is smaller than mine, it has a lot more room then mine does. Great job!!!!
Thank you for sharing Dale

I really like this trailer, even the jackknife sofa. I'd attach hinged padded footrests, or even one of those inexpensive, padded, storage cubes. I like the wide open space under the bed, good for clear Sterilite storage bins. Great storage in bathroom. Enclosed underbelly. Very nice decor. 👍👍👍🇨🇦🙋
5:14 stools not included, but that’s a nice spot to seat two at the breakfast bar 👍🏽👍🏽

I like how they toss in an umbrella!
I like it, would love to see more of these , this level
Another question, once the slide is in, is it usable? can i sit on that sofa with the slide in ?
I'm not in-depth familiar with shasta's construction & EXACTLY how they do their slide. Until verified I would recommend to presume you cannot for safety-sake
A team member on site can dive into that for you as needed!
I really like the lighter finishes and storage in this camper. The kitchen counter space is very good in this and it has the larger refrigerator plus pantry space. I would appreciate a little bit wider drawers in the kitchen as I think it would be easier to hold a standard utensil organizer if the drawers were wider. But you can probably work around that. The camp Queen is not ideal but it looks like there's a way around that as you said and I appreciate the sidestand space and the hanging space around the bed. I'm curious as to what the storage space looks like beside the refrigerator as the doors I don't believe we're open when you showed your full view. I'm not sure if there's additional hanging space over there or if there are built and shelves for the pantry space. The sofa seat looks pretty decent and you're right I think it makes a wonderful dog bed! I think I would tend to carry some foot stools that I could use in front of the sofa to put my feet up on and then at night possibly use them underneath the bed to support the additional length of the residential queen mattress I would have to put in there. I really appreciate the fact that there's a rectangular shower rather than a tub and I don't think the leg space is an issue for me but it is a bit tight in the bathroom. The one camper my family owned was a Shasta back in the very early 1970s so seeing this brand still around is a little nostalgic for me. I didn't realize Forest River was owned by Berkshire Hathaway. I live in Omaha which is the home of Berkshire Hathaway so there you have that for what it's worth. I appreciate seeing some of these smaller campers for those who are in the market for an affordable weekend camper.
I did not realize Berkshire Hathaway was based out of Ohama!
@@JoshtheRVNerd yep. I live right near Mr. Buffet. He still lives in the same house he bought 50 years ago. A pretty regula guy from what I understand.
Since you love movie lines I will leave you my favorite line from the movie "Gung Ho," "I like you, you make me laugh" Fantastic review Josh as always
I LOVE that movie!!
Love this little trailer!
I would like to see more Shasta and other small couples friendly campers. Do you have any Star Craft couples campers?
Not directly, though they're a subsidiary and "sister" to the Jayco RVs we offer here.
Their stick and tin models are VERY similar to a Jay Flight
While their laminated models are essentially Highland Ridge RVs
(Starcraft and Highland are actually essentially the same company behind the scenes btw)
Thanks for getting back to me so fast.
I have a 2021 Shasta 26BH that I absolutely love. 30' long and weighs 6200 gross. It's perfect. You should definitely show more Shasta's
Well alrighty!!
I like the great storage and very respectable construction at this price point. I would like to see more Shasta products.
Roger that! Far more positive response than I expected! This is awesome :)
What a surprise how much I like this trailer… great vid! I’d love to see more smaller motorhomes too!
Sentimental for me as I grew up with a Shasta trailer. I too was very impressed with this model. Has all the basics covered, and looks to do a great job at it.
Thanks for sharing!
11:11 #EnjoyLife 😊
I have always liked the Shasta brand, and this unit is great. Please show more Shasta's when you can. Thanks!
I just might!

"It's just a flesh wound!" ⚔️
Nice, would be a great camper for a couple or single person. Great things come in small packages. This is on my list for retirement camper. Thank you for the tour.
You know what I like best about this one? They don't have those stupid outdoor speakers.
lol I was just talking to East to West about getting rid of them yesterday. The Product manager to whom I was speaking said "you know.. I've had all sorts of different RVs over the years. They've all had outside speakers. I've never used them. I use a speaker just like you said... and I never thought about that"
I think outside speakers are something that may slowly fade over time
Josh: Like the looks and no slide outs of the Shasta 21CK better. Very similar to the Jayco 212QB. Scuttlebutt has it that Bish’s might just have one of those 21CK’s hiding in the inventory in Coopersville along with this Shasta 20RB. Na! If there was a Shasta 21CK in Coopersville, Uncle Josh would have said so already.🤣😊🤣😊 Must just be a typo. Respectfully, W.S.
P.S. OMG didn't scroll down far enough. A Shasta no slid fore and aft bed 18FQ ALSO at Coopersville? Will wonders never cease? 😊😊
Sounds like I need to make a trip to my sister store here in michigan
Love it! I like these little, unassuming trailers. I come from a place where I feel camping and campers don't need to be fancy. Just functional. I grew up tenting and backpacking. I have an autoimmune disorder that makes me really sensitive to cold. So we got a simple little camper to use during the cold months.
Do you have something a bit bigger than that that looks as good as this
In the word: yes. But I have over 6000 videos on this channel and we have thousands of RVs in stock. Is there anything you’re looking for specifically that could help me narrow this down? There’s so many opportunities I don’t really know where to begin.
I love this trailer but their website says over 4400 dry weight, same GVRW.
10:34 … as well as ye old Luke Knee Walker 😉
I love that phrase lol :)
It’s a good quality,affordable camper.
Your kinda coming off , like it’s not up to your standard .
Show some love to all people
Thx
Wasn’t my intention. I have since covered additional Shasta rvs on which I comment upon appreciating their simplicity
The prices would be great
I drop a link to the search for this brand+model on our site where current pricing is listed (unless we are sold out).
Pricing changes regularly with time so that allows us to generally provide current and accurate info
If we are sold out, then I apologize I do need to ask you to drop a note to our team at www.bishs.com/contact/ for figures as I do not have access to something like a master pricing file
@@JoshtheRVNerd I know I was just hoping that you could say something like MSRP 22000 but would probably sell anywhere from 18 to 16000 that way we get some idea😊 I watch a lot of these shows about RVs. Someday I will get one... You are my favorite. Just saying. LOVE your Humor
I have a 2016 Shasta 21CK and it has been excellent for us. It got us from our empty nester period to retirement with our Rockwood. My son now has the Shasta. I still believe Shasta is the best value in campers.
High praise!!
I am digging this one. Just enough fluff without the extra price tag. I would like a hard shower door or at least one of those curtains on a track so you don't get attacked in a little shower but that's just me. :-)
Yeahs it’s “smarter class”
This floor plan solves many of the problems we have with our Freedom Express 204RD. The bathroom is much better and in a better location. The gray and black tanks are larger. It's weight is very close to the 204RD. The one thing it doesn't have is a dinette. Is a dinette an option instead of the sofa?
There is not but try this one m.ruclips.net/video/MkXvAnQGqtQ/видео.html
Like seeing more affordable units like this. Thanks!
Our pleasure! I know they don't get the most views but that's not what I'm about. I like folks to know we have something for everyone here
I don't care for the larger baggage door on the curb side. The extra storage "box" outside makes it more difficult to get into bed inside. Make both doors & storage the same size & move on. Also, in road mode, would a full size queen mattress work ?
I *think* there was room for a true queen with the slide closed but apparently failed to verify. A team member at a store who carries these may be able to get more detailed info like that for you.
Awesome video Josh!
Lookin good. My mid-size truck senses are tingling....
HEY UNCLE J, LONG TIME NO CONVERSATIONAL…..I LIKEE THIS SHASTA, ALTHOUGH IM A “ CHUNKY MONKEY”OF SORTS , THE BATHROOM WOULD BE A LITTLE TIGHT ON DA LEGROOM, IS A 1/2 UPPER CABINET DO-ABLE INSTEAD? ALSO IS THERE A DEALER NEAR SAN DIEGO AREA….OR 100 Miles of ?
I think our Idaho stores would be closest to you
@@JoshtheRVNerd There is a Bish's in Junction City, Oregon as well.
Nice layout, good decore, hopefully it has a good price point.
Do you guys still do RV rentals? I live in Hillsdale and remember watching a video of yours awhile back and mentioned something about being able to rent an RV through you guys, but that was before you guys changed your name.
Not currently but perhaps in the future
Don’t know if this is even possible, but looking for a small trailer or 5th wheel to take to grad school, would definitely need a 4 or all season capability as I would be in mountains potentially. I am looking for one with enough space to leave a small traveling spinning wheel out without tripping over it or constantly having to move it around.
First thing that popped into my head: bit.ly/3E7VuHb
Second thing: bit.ly/30Mz8fX
I'm actually quite surprised at this one! Quite nice for a small one!
While I"m not a fan of a fridge being in the rear due to the shake, rattle and roll, I am a fan of the entry door being at that end of the trailer on small ones like this. The only models with a door at the bed end that I like are the Murphy bed models. There's just something off-putting about entering eye level with a mattress.
I"m curious - have you ever gotten your paws on a Back Country trailer or the toy haulers from Outdoors Rv?
Haven’t been in any of those quite yet
@@JoshtheRVNerd Well, when you do I"d love to hear your first impressions on the Back Country.
"Toilet TV". Passing on that one.
Nice couples camper. I wish Forest River would put a window in their doors. It has plus and some drawbacks but for the most part a lot of people will like it!
Each brand handles things differently
Some like Rockwood do include door windows and shades
I like it. Checks most the boxes and the affordability factor is big. I assume it wouldn't be to difficult to upgrade a few things. I thought when you had the slide in looking towards the camper queen you were going to comment if a true queen would fit. It appeared it would.
Crap! Did I forget? Apologies!
I see a lot of smart, common sense design in this camper! A household outlet right next to the ample counter space, not under the cabinets! What a concept! Good walk around space by the besides. Rectangular shower AND linen space in that sized bathroom ! Nice pantry! Did it have a black tank flush? If so I'm ALL in on this one 😁
I like the rectangle shower over the radius style. Turning sideways will make it feel roomier lol
True!!
The Missus and I are having a good laugh.
Ok, go over to the theater seat, sit down on the bathroom side.
Now look towards where the TV is to be installed, and tell me what ya see???
If our guess is right, we there is a hilarious design fail here :p
Could be wrong, could be wrong for sure, but it looks like there is a visual issue
If We are right, someone is going to get a swift kick in the shorts ;)
Can you give me a minute marker please? So many videos & so many comments I just can't scroll thru them to find stuff like this. It would be super helpful.
Just type something like 12:34 and youtube makes it a link right to that spot in the video
@@JoshtheRVNerd what it looks like, it if you sit in the seat close to the bathroom. As you look towards the tv area, the sink faucet impairs a persons ability to watch the TV. The faucet appears to be almost of the visual area.
Shown multiple times during video.
Will get times in a bit. It’s a Dr. Day to be sure.
So you're saying don't ding Shasta for those dings on the Shasta?
It really is a nice little unit for the price point.
Haha
@@JoshtheRVNerd ...or are you saying don't ding Shasta because someone else already did?
@@Brigand231 Whoever did it must've been a real...
Ding Dong.
@@JoshtheRVNerd I think you hit the bell right on the head, really hammered that one home for me.
@@Brigand231 what can I say? I am a real tool like that
K.I.S.S principle in full effect here! Get you a couple tv trays or a little folding table and you got yourself some dinofa action going on. Always like to see a big pantry. Plenty of space for my pop-tarts! I appreciate they didn't worry about outside speakers. Were those 30 gallon propane tanks in front?!? 😮This is just a nice entry level rig for a young (or older) couple.
I think it’s a cover for 30’s but 20lb tanks
Does it have a black tank flush?
5:35 perfectly sized for a MIL 😏🤫🤭
lol You own the MIL jokes like Steve Carrell owned "that's what she said"
Not a bad trailer actually.
Also, you should check out the 21CK. Its even bigger and LIGHTER! Dont know how that math works...
Added to my list!!
I'm really impressed by this. For the price that's a fantastic model. If you could theatre seat or have that flip up leg rest I've seen on some models I'd be even more interested.
I would like to see other floorplans from Shasta using this same philosophy of simple but not cheap. I don't need all the fancy gizmos, because I use a camper as a place to sleep and hide from the rain. Also a camper like this leaves things open to make more personal touches and customizations
I've been impressed and kind of surprised by the positive response I've seen here and will try to bring a little more coverage to them out there
I like the idea of a simple, well-built, affordable travel trailer. I have no interest in having a television or audio system at all. I just want the basic features that this model offers.
See I'm similar. I don't need fancy gadgets
I like them. They're fun. But that's not why I'm camping.
BUT I also get there are plenty of people spending more time in their RVs who may need those Glamptastic features
Well built & travel trailer don’t belong in the same sentence. Like most products built today if you get 5-7 yrs out of one of these trailers your lucky.
Could you throw a residential queen mattress in there? Short queens don't work for me.
I Believe you could, but would likely limit walk around space (or block it off)
So, are you saying that we can *not* call it Shabsta?
frankly.. with all the flubs in my presentations i had during this trip you can call it anything. I don't care lol
@@JoshtheRVNerd You're working hard, so the fatigue's gonna hit ya. Can't fault ya for it
Wow!!! That is surprisingly functional. It would be great for the weekender or a couple with one small child. Definitely not a full time or long term thing but great for a week. Definitely need a TV so you can watch NASCAR on Sunday. But other than that it looks great. Love the large 12v fridge and love the bathroom storage cabinet.
Pat
Josh, I have a semi-related question. Do you know if Shasta 5th wheels are the same as Chaparral but the labeling. They appear the same other than the wood tones. Also do you carry the Shasta Phoenix 5th wheels at Bishs
Good eye! You're absolutely correct! Phoenix and Chaparral are literally 100% the same thing
I don't see where we currently have any Phoenix models in our lineup but here's some chaparrals bit.ly/3IHihx4 if you'd like to look/compare
Good unit for its size and maybe an affordable price for the new campers.
Stickntin siding is a royal pain in the back side to find. Good luck on the repair!
Can this fit in a garage? Looking for something to use primarily for home office.
Obviously depends on the door height. Most conventional vehicle doors? Likely not.
I like the minimalism, the L shaped counter feels like an improvement over my RockStaff. And the bathroom by the rear door makes for excellent road mode, even if you can't get at the bed. The one thing to make it better would be windows in the side of the slider. That sofa inside the slider feels claustrophobic. The biggest mishap is those little cubbies by the bed. Anything that gets pushed to the back would be lost forever! Either make it a drawer, or leave it completely open space as other trailers do. i wonder if Shasta was trying to differentiate, "fixing" something that wasn't broken.
I think shastas goal (and I am just guessing here) was to make something function with a primary focus on being budget friendly
