The show stopper for my wife was new Cedar Creek Experience 38DB. We seriously appreciated Todd and Sheila taking the time to talk to us they would never poo poo on anyone they were a gracious with my wife and I and thank them very much for that. My wife would call our talk with you two her show stopper. Thank you.
Todd you where absolutely right about CCC on the rigs with all the storage options of raised front and rear floor plans. We have one and we are very limited. When you add extra watts and solar, you have nothing left.
Thanks for the video! Just a little game changer Scott did for us… disabled the seatbelt chime in our Bronco! (actually all our Fords) Easy and quick to do… just latch and unlatch the seatbelt a number of times (we wear our seatbelts but like Sheila says… ain’t no one got time for the ding ding when you need in and out!) 😜 (Quick google search - or the manual will give you exact instructions)
Well I’m at the Oasis’s resort in Vegas and I asked one of your folks for a card and a lady had me scan a QR code and I just finished watching the start. I’m hooked and look forward to following you folks. Oh my name is Dave from the panhandle of Idaho. God bless
We so loved that Barefoot! What a surprise - great use of space and amazing quality. Enjoyed meeting the Marketing team at the show, what a fun group!!
We just bought a 2023 Alliance 382RK my wife wanted the half bath, it’s got a lot of room inside and out! We were considering a. Brinkley but not half bath yet in the Z line. Great video as always!
If you guys like that Winnebago View, check out the Unity murphy bed from Leisure travel. Similar layout, but better IMO. Large TV lift in bench top instead of the tiny high mounted TV. The recliners swivel and there is a flip up dinette between them
Went to the show on Sunday. Got to try out a class C model 30Z. Loved the floorplan. Will be looking for one in the next few years. Show stopper was all the great RV parts and accessories vendors that are new to the show or back for another year. Kudos to them all.
Good tips on the payload weight numbers. Most people don't look at that. Water weighs 8.33 lbs/gal, so if you have a 71-gallon fresh-water tank filled to capacity, it weighs 591.4 lbs. With a 2300 lbs payload rating, you're left with 1709.6 lbs capacity. Add gray water and black water tank weights when nearly full, and you have a big chunk of your payload capacity gone (if boondocking). It's insane to put that much storage in an RV and not have the payload capacity to support it. We look for big payload capacities when shopping for an RV (3000 lbs plus), so we have breathing room for loading our "junque." 😉🤫
Thanks for the comment reminder, it was fun checking out so many options at the show. Christina and I are till going back and forth on what are favorites are and which way to go. Safe travels West guys, will see you live on Thursday from the Michigan Crew Campout.
Loved the show tonight! We have a family joke about the little RV's called "eggs" and all go off with the squeel the family makes from the movie the Coneheads when we see them.... yea we are weird!
That Barefoot egg camper is super cute! And it was like watching big foot squeeze into that compact bathroom lol. And the Brinkley at the beginning of video, love it! 🍻
Love the 382RK if I didn't need the space for my bike. HDT is an option I like just trying to figure out how to make that purchase. :) Thanks again for all the great options.
My little comment: The Alliance Paradigm 382RK has a smaller kitchen Than the 370FB. You have the same closet, bathroom and bedroom in the 370FB, the half bath is slightly different but the Kitchen is bigger. Same underneath storage and the stuff in the refrigerator doesn't get bounced around in the 370FB.
As we were walking in Wednesday I saw a Black Bronco with a Kansas plate. Told my wife that I bet that could have been Shelia and Todd trying to get close to the entrance so Todd would not have to walk so far. As far as the show there was not anything that we would sell our Riverstone and buy another… But we are looking at the Luxe’s talk about quality 👌👍
Our favorite was the Brinkley 3250 & almost made an offer at the show. Instead, we made a deal for the Brinkley 3400 that wasn't at the show. Got a great deal & can't wait to pick it up in November.
Thanks for coming - it's always great to see you. Greg please see the comment above from James asking for prayer for his friend - will you please add that to your list to pray for? Thank you so much! This community is the best
Saw the Euro at the Southwest RV Supershow in Dallas this past weekend. Very different, but definitely not a “show stopper” worthy unit. We were there two days; 9:30a-7:30p and 11:00a-6:00p. Definitely understand the fatigue factor and everything starts looking the same toward the end 😂
I liked the small Class C but I was really hoping you would try out the dual seats, when the murphy bed was tucked away. I keep hoping they come up with a murphy bed that has comfortable 'reclining' seats. Now THAT would be great!
Ed's pick is real nice along with Todd's HDT for the toys is a good option, but I still need my TH garage space for additional things that the HDT can't fit (ATV w/motorcycle both in).
Being an older woman with NO experience RV-ing I would be very interested in the Class B camper Van. I loved the Tiffin B it was spacious and functional. I want to how much it Cost?
Thanks for watching! A Class B or a small C is the perfect option for a solo traveler….that Tiffin is a premium option with a tag in the mid to high 200k range
There are several options in a lower price point - especially in the used market. Tiffin is at that top tier in pricing but there are other brands that are worth a look
We live in southern Maryland. We travel in our 2019 Winnebago Travato 59K. We have some cool stuff near us you might enjoy checking out, like historic St. Marys City, Chesapeake Bay, DC, etc. We have a 30 amp hook up under a carport if you want to visit feel free, we will unplug Dumbo and allow you to plug in Mr. Lemon as you visit if you'd like. Would also enjoy meeting at your meet up If it's close enough.
Thank you for such a kind offer! We are making a bee line for Kansas City area for a crew Campout we are hosting and then off to the Balloon Fiesta. We will be back this way in the fall of next 2026!
Hi guys just a quick question. Was wondering if you were planning on coming to the Tampa RV Show in 2025? New to your channel and would like to meet you guys. Enjoy your time in Hershey Pa.
So I'm James McGilley living in Kansas City, Missouri hey I have a question you and your wife seem like religious people. I have a very good friend that was admitted to KU Medical center who has a Tumor on his spine and is currently Paralyzed and could use all the prayers he can get. If you and the Switch it up members/family would pray for my friend name Shalon Tipton I would greatly appreciate it 💯.
Praying for your friend James. I always love the super c. There is a diesel pusher, I believe it is A Newman that has a small deck. I am surprised there was not one there.
I don’t understand why none of these fifth wheel makers do like spacecraft does gives you huge volumes storage underneath instead of all that wasted head space
The biggest lie of RV dealers and manufacturers is, ‘Half Ton Towable.’ No half ton truck should EVER pull a travel trailer of 5th wheel down a highway. It’s NOT safe. After hooking up your trailer to your half ton truck (hitch weight), then adding your gear, passengers and fuel to your truck, I guarantee you just overloaded the cargo carrying capacity (CCC) of your truck. If your truck squats at all with the trailer hooked up, you are not safe to drive down the highway, fishtailing could occur. Just go buy at least a 3/4 ton truck to do the job. Half ton trucks are not RV tow vehicles.
We have the 2022 42 fskg. For us we don’t like that Forest River has decided to plaster their name on every product they make for the 2025 model year. And especially the Riverstone’s….We are not NASCAR!!!
Understood, the new paint scheme hurts it agreed. I do love the rig tho. Luxe bucks New Horizon - Spacecraft the hightech redneck.. DRV makes real nice option as well.
Just subscribed! But the way you ignored the guy who showed up ( from the popper product was careless and arrogant) he’s one of my favorites! Seems you maybe don’t practice what you preach
Oh Matt - yes he is a friend of ours - it was probably all in the editing because we popped into a video he was shooting, we just came from his booth and talking to him -- we were not ignoring him we had just hung out with him so what you saw in the edited video is not what was really happening behind the scenes
TODD your pushing towing with a HDT. Ok where are your videos of you DRIVING your HDT. I think you hired a DRIVER for your HDT because it's to much RIG for you to handle. The videos we see your HDT is already in a campsite.
First time seeing the Brinkley models and wasn’t that impressed ,especially for the money. Very basic and some of the craftsmanship was off. Moldings not straight, cabinet doors crooked and didn’t feel stable walking around in them. The Durango Golds were our show stopper in the fifth wheel category
So good to spend some time with Ed and Kelly this week! Thanks for turning us on to this channel!
The show stopper for my wife was new Cedar Creek Experience 38DB. We seriously appreciated Todd and Sheila taking the time to talk to us they would never poo poo on anyone they were a gracious with my wife and I and thank them very much for that.

We absolutely love our Nucamp! It was so fun to see them on this video.
They are so dang cute and well designed
Agreed!

Oh fantastic!! Thank you 😊
Alliance 23ML 5th Wheel is awesome! And hands down, Brinkley offers the highest quality.
I'm impressed with the interior redesigns of the Tiffin models that you showed. I hope Tiffin will further develop this trend.
Well I’m at the Oasis’s resort in Vegas and I asked one of your folks for a card and a lady had me scan a QR code and I just finished watching the start. I’m hooked and look forward to following you folks. Oh my name is Dave from the panhandle of Idaho. God bless
Hello Dave! Welcome aboard! Thanks for checking out the channel!
The Brinkley 310 was the best in show and all Todd's come with a lot of toys.:)
Lots and lots
I really enjoyed the walk thru's of them all. Love the channel!!!
It was great to meet you guys and spend some time together at the show!
OMG when you said "that's an egg" like you i sooooo did think of Mork's egg craft from Mork & Mindy tv show
Love RV shows , thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
@SwitchItUpLife never miss but you know that 😁
Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Love the Mork & Mindy comparison!!!
Thank you for including the Barefoot and the TAB 360 in your video!
We so loved that Barefoot! What a surprise - great use of space and amazing quality. Enjoyed meeting the Marketing team at the show, what a fun group!!
We love the Brinkley. Keep up your video's they are awesome 👍
We just bought a 2023 Alliance 382RK my wife wanted the half bath, it’s got a lot of room inside and out! We were considering a. Brinkley but not half bath yet in the Z line. Great video as always!
I like Ed’s unit best

Todd, I have a CPAP. It has to be within arms reach at head level.
Thanks for the comment reminder, it was fun checking out so many options at the show. Christina and I are till going back and forth on what are favorites are and which way to go. Safe travels West guys, will see you live on Thursday from the Michigan Crew Campout.
I'm looking forward to hearing how the narrowing down from A's, SuperC and 5th Wheels is going

That Barefoot egg camper is super cute! And it was like watching big foot squeeze into that compact bathroom lol.
And the Brinkley at the beginning of video, love it! 🍻
The Bigfoot Squeeze lol
The Hero edition Cougar looked sharp, but that Brinkley 310 with the rear deck/office/party area is really nice!
Totally agree - Thanks for stopping by
Brinkley with the desk in back
Yes that Brinkley Travel Trailer is one of our favorites because we don’t want steps inside.
Those NuCamps are great designs, but man are they proud of them!

Our show stopper was the Alliance Avenue 23ML!!
Was a great RV show. Would take three days to see it all....
The Mork Egg!!
What was the cost of the 5th wheel Brinkley?

Thank you for your video. I loved the Brinkley 3250. Wishing it was just a bit bigger to fit a motorcycle. The other toyhaulers are way too big.
Wow that Wayfarer was Incredible. I know there is no way I could ever afford that, unless less I was a Full-timer.
Hi from the Bimber's, It fun seeing you both at the show and meet up.
Thanks for coming - it's always great to see you. Greg please see the comment above from James asking for prayer for his friend - will you please add that to your list to pray for? Thank you so much! This community is the best

This Class C was very comfy --- now you have a great idea with those "reclining seats"!
Ed's pick is real nice along with Todd's HDT for the toys is a good option, but I still need my TH garage space for additional things that the HDT can't fit (ATV w/motorcycle both in).
Definitely want east to west bed next time.
If I had the money, I'd still like the Newmar Supreme Aire super C.
We love Suite Travels too!!! Watching video now. Hope you look at Super C’s. That’s my husbands dream camper.
We love our Super C!
Being an older woman with NO experience RV-ing I would be very interested in the Class B camper Van. I loved the Tiffin B it was spacious and functional. I want to how much it Cost?
Thanks for watching! A Class B or a small C is the perfect option for a solo traveler….that Tiffin is a premium option with a tag in the mid to high 200k range
@@SwitchItUpLifeNo way I can afford $200 grand. Is the Adventure Class B any cheaper without the Jump seats?
There are several options in a lower price point - especially in the used market. Tiffin is at that top tier in pricing but there are other brands that are worth a look
The alliance 23ml is a very good design. I wanted to make this show but the drive was to x for attending for me..haha
We live in southern Maryland. We travel in our 2019 Winnebago Travato 59K.

Shhh... we haven't announced yet but without giving a lot of details... Yes. Thank you so much for watching
Can't wait to meet you guys. We've watched the complete documentary on the Space Craft. We live north of Tampa in Weeki Wachee FL.
Did you look at the LTVs? So much nicer than the Tiffan Wayfarer in my opinion😉
We will need to add that to our list to look at cuz I don't think we looked at these
Sorry I missed you at the show.
So I'm James McGilley living in Kansas City, Missouri hey I have a question you and your wife seem like religious people. I have a very good friend that was admitted to KU Medical center who has a Tumor on his spine and is currently Paralyzed and could use all the prayers he can get.

Hi James -- I am adding this to our prayer request board right now. Thanks for reaching out we are honored to pray for your friend.
James, lots of crew praying for shalon!!
It is an honor to pray for your friend!
Praying for your friend James. I always love the super c. There is a diesel pusher, I believe it is A Newman that has a small deck. I am surprised there was not one there.
Sorry I met Newmar
Is there such a thing as a wheelchair-friendly Class C?
Fun video, but did you forget the gimble. Lol

Not at this show - usually at the Tampa one so January
