Hi Everyone, We hope you enjoyed our video! Which small camper under 25' did you like best? Please say hello by leaving a comment below! Also, please feel free to ask any questions or just tell us about yourselves. We want to get to know you and share our RV experiences.
We full time travel in a Winnebago Micro Minnie 2106 FBS and have found it to be an excellent and very comfortable RV. We downsized from a 40 Foot Bighorn 5th wheel and would never consider going back to large RV. Our small RV has opened up so many more wonderful camping experiences. It works about perfect for us.
That is quite a downsize. So glad you are happy with your choice. I agree a smaller camper allows for much more flexbility when camping. Better campsites and fit in National Parks. Thanks for watching and commenting. Safe travels.
Oh my gosh that 2'x2' shower! What were they thinking?! Also, in the third trailer with the bathroom light switch on the side of the vanity - maybe that could be a motion sensor light that just comes on automatically when you enter the bathroom.
Thanks for calling Winnebago out for having an unusable shower. The Nobo was very nice! Good reviews! I want to highly recommend the Coachman Freedom Express 192RBS, it is a gem and under 24ft.
The first trailer (Highland Ridge Range Lite Air 17BH) would be the one I'd pick. And since it'd just be me I'd rip out the bunk beds and stick a stacked washer and dryer in that space, making it a tiny laundry area.
I like the Highland Ridge the best of the three. So much so, I now plan on buying one. I'm 6' 2", so I need an 80 inch long bed. Even though the bed is six inches shy of being a queen widthwise, it's still doable. The shower is plenty big enough and the toilet has plenty of elbow room on the right side. But what I really like about this trailer is that it is perfect for dry camping, which is what most of my camping is. The 55 gallon fresh water tank is huge for a trailer this size. The absorption refrigerator is quite large and is also perfect for dry camping, as it uses very little propane. A 12 volt compressor fridge doesn't work unless you're running a generator or have a huge investment in solar panels and lithium-ion batteries. Two 30 lb propane bottles also mean you can go much further before refills. The kitchen is well laid out and functional. The bunk beds are long and with a 300 lb capacity, can be used by adults. The roof is accessible via the rear ladder, a feature missing on many trailers today. Most dealers are equipping them with the 190 watt solar panel and the 12 volt tank heating pads. This is a trailer that punches way above its weight class.
Thank you for the refrigerator comment. I've been wondering if there's a big difference between a 12v vs propane fridge (aside from Fancy, I guess?) as I'm only just starting to learn about RVs. It sounds like a propane fridge would be much better suited to my needs, so I'm not incessantly tethered.
I like the last one the Forest River. It’s spacious l silver wear drawer but it’s ok it has storage in the bathroom. Thank you Mike and Susan! Hope you have a great weekend and week and see you soon! Safe travels.
The Forest River Nobo is my favourite, it's got a proper sized bed, and it's a Murphy too. The spacious interior is very appealing but I dislike the raised counter. I'd prefer a larger counter top with storage underneath and some drawers under the sink. The bland interior is boring, I prefer the 50s look with bright blue, aqua or red furniture and trim.
Got a Platinum Salem 270RTKX a couple weekends ago, the videos help with comparisons and honestly give me ideas as to possible changes I could make inside my trailer.
I would keep the bar top counter and chairs in the NO BO and get rid of the dinette. If possible, I would even get rid of the slide out and put a bank of cabinets along the wall. Not all the way down the wall, just enough to make a good storage area with extra countertop.
Hi, can you do small trailers with North / south beds (perhaps Murphys ) and rear baths ? East west is a non starter for us , and bunk houses , while useful for multiple kids , tend to Shrink bathrooms.
nice selection if you want $40K+, I would also look at the EMBER series (small ones). one you seem to not cover is the GEO PRO 15TB. Its 16' long, two full twin beds or king, bathroom/shower. Works great to a couple or single camper. Only weighs ~2600lbs and ~$23K. We have been using it now for 6 months, except for some minor issues, been great little camper. hope that helps others when looking for smaller camper. Note: It is pulled by our Jeeps, so smaller SUV's can work
I want to see a video of 300 lb. person getting into the top bunk. Also, the manufactures need to scrap the little sinks in those bathrooms. Great video!
I'd live in the 3rd one and once you're in minor changes can be made for the space to work for your needs... thanks I'm gonna look into it and thank you for sharing 😁
We had a Jayco Hummingbird 17RB. No room at all to even move around. The one's you show at least have some room. We upgraded our camper to a Coachmen Catalina 243RBS. It's big and sometimes I wish we hadn't gone to a larger RV. They are nice, but a hassle to park and more maintenance. But I guess that's the pleasure of RV camping.
On the third one, the forest river nobo. I absolutely love the look and the set up IF the mattress wasn’t showing in the murphy bed, I seriously dislike the noticeable wall bed, they need to rethink it’s design to blend in, especially when so many others are doing such a great job at the wall blending and solid looking structure of it, I don’t like how the wall is even shorter than the mattress once you lay it down, that just seems like it would cause unevenness. Also, personally, this would be perfect if there was no side, no dinette just the breakfast nook and barstools, there could even be a folded up table on the wall with two fold away chairs so if you wanted an extra eating or working area for guest or what not you could but when just a couple’s camper the table could be flush against the wall and out of the way.
I use the mattress part that peeks out over the wall as a valance to show off my quilt and then hang the matching pillow sham over the back of the sofa! Too bad I can't show it here. Love my Murphy bed, excellent use of space in a small TT.
The No Bo is interesting. I love the counter seats and would put a couch in place of the dinette. It looks like the bathroom would be inaccessible when the slide is in though. That’s a deal breaker.
I've watched a lot of videos over the years, but your channel is the one that has helped my find three things. I learned about the KZ 130RBSE from you guys and wound up getting one for my Jeep. I learned about the Lectric Bike from you guys and wound up getting one. Now I've just found exactly what I was looking for in the Highland Ridge 17BH. I'm already in touch with two dealers and will be picking one up next month. I sold the KZ 130RBSE because I couldn't get through Canada with it. But on the bright side, I sold it for $2500 more than I paid for it. Now that the Canadian border is opening up fully, I can take the new trailer home with me and use it next summer when my 6' 3" 250 lb grandsons come to visit. Then I'll sell it next spring for another nice gain, because trailers are much more expensive in Alaska due to the high cost of shipping and very limited competition.
@@RVBlogger You're welcome. I have since picked up my Highland Ridge 17BH that you reviewed about six weeks ago. MSRP was $33,999 and I paid $22,710 out the door. Very happy with it so far.
Trailer 2- I would’ve put the fridge off the door and the entertainment unit where the fridge currently is- that tv there makes no sense Trailer 3- weird there’s no mattress straps- with bedding and everything on it - that would be annoying without one.
I have no straps on my Murphy bed and the bedding stays on just fine. Mine is a full queen but, since it's just me, I use a twin top sheet and a twin quilt. Less material to have to tuck.
We have a Forest River Forester motor home and it was the first thing I told my hubby, I am 5’2” and first thing to buy because momma needs a stool to get into the freezer 😂
You called the first bed "full size." A full size is typically 54x75. What you have there is "Full Size XL" or full-size extra-long at 54x80. It is 6" narrower than a regular queen (60x80), but has the same length as a typical queen or king. And, I mean residential queen or king lengths (not what some in the RV industry might call it). The bottom line is that taller folks would benefit from that 80" length. By the way, nice work on your reviews. I subscribed a while back and find your comments helpful. Thanks!
Hey Charles, We appreciate the love and support! All the different size beds between houses and rvs and companies!!! LOL Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan
@@RVBlogger One more comment... Your use of a tape measure to give us actual measurements of heights, sizes, etc., is extremely helpful. Please keep doing that. Thanks!
Winnebago should be embarrassed by the poor design choices in this one - conflicting storage doors, a joke of a shower, poor TV placement, big step up into the dinette.... really not competitive even with much less expensive models....
One thing I always look for is an electrical outlet in the kitchen area for my coffee maker or just to be able to use my air popper or a crockpot. Please mention that in your reviews. Thank you.
Have you ever reviewed Hybird trailers. We have one and just love it. For us it is the best of both worlds of tenting and having a trailer. Love the fact you feel like you are sleeping in a tent but have all the plus of a regular travel trailer.
I’m looking for one right now that we can let the kids use most of the time, and use ourselves when we want to go into the forest instead of taking The Big Beast super C and only being able to stay at an RV park.
I like the FR NoBo 20.4 Seems to be a nice camper for a couple. Dislikes is the fridge is to high, they could have put the fuse box on top and lower the fridge. Please check out the Venture RV Sonic Lite SL169VRK, I consider it a perfect floor plan for a couple.
Forest river nobo would be great if it removed the slide out. The bar and stool design is innovative and classy while saving space. It makes the dinette useless.
I love your channel, it's very informative. I am impressed by the Forest River NoBo but the lack of drawers is a bit inconvenient. I would suggest that they redesign the cabinet in the entertainment area to include drawers for utensils. Two thumbs up.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We really appreciate your support! That's a great tip about the utensil drawer! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
California King 72X84 King 76X80 Queen 60X80 Full 53X75 Twin XL 38X80 Twin 38X75 Single 30X75 (W" x L") According to google. I would write this out on a card and tape it to your tape measure.😉
First camper question. If the fridge only runs on propane or shore power does that mean that if it had solar it would not be able to stay on or would it need some sort of inverter from 110v to 12v? I like the FR NO which has 3 windows in the bedroom and two chair bar. Do you think the NOBO could of had a second tv on the the wall to left of of the Murphy bed just above the window? It would be good for the persons sleeping in the master of if someone was cooking they could watch tv.never would want a microwave below the stove. Would rather have it above and storage below. Question do you think the NOBO 20.4 could have had a U shaped dinette or there would not be about space? I notice that you don’t get into options on these models such as solar. Do they have auto leveling?
You would need an inverter to sun your fridge off solar. I think TV placement is an afterthought sometimes. We don't mention the variety of options manufacturers have because we try to keep our reviews brief. We aren't aware of any travel trailer with auto leveling jacks. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi Beckley's RV. We love visiting your location. You have always been gracious to let us tour your rigs and we very much appreciate it! See you at the Timonium RV Show in February!
Not thrilled with the layouts of these. An east west bed can be difficult for an older person to get in and out of. We just finished putting over 1.4K miles on our Surveyor 19RBSC and love the amount of room and storage it has. Also a dream to tow. Really surprised that two of the units still use the older style fridge. With my solar panel and a larger battery, mine will run for hours.
I like a dinette for alternative seating, my 25' TT has a Murphy bed, excellent use of space. It also has drawers below the belt line, far easier to access. Love my 2021 Keystone Passport 219bh.
I just watched an older video . It said small campers with no bathroom The last camper had pop up beds on both sides of the camper . WHAT CAMPER WAS THAT ? I CANT FIND IT AGAIN I've searched for 2 days . Please help !!!!
So sorry for the delay! Was it the inTech Flyer Explore? It has pop up beds on both sides. Thank you for watching and commenting. ruclips.net/video/fHWH3aO9R44/видео.html
They all look very nice are you ready but I wouldn’t give you a dollar for the first two maybe two dollars for the third one. Maybe you can answer this question. Why do the majority of the travel trailer put the dining table opposite your campsite. I have no desire to watch the neighbors while I have breakfast/lunch. Again great video and review. Thanks
Not even $2? 😂 We agree we like the dinette on camp side. Not sure why they build that way? Maybe so you can keep an eye on kids while cooking? Thanks for watching and commenting!
Because the slide is only on that side of the TT. My 25' TT has no slides and my dinette is where it's s'posed to be! My Murphy bed is a must as well since when it's folded, I have a nice sofa. When it's down, I have a full queen bed. Murphy bed is an excellent use of space in a small TT.
What is the tow capacity of your vehicle? My instincts tell me the tow capacity is too low. As a rule we recommend only towing 80% of your vehicles capacity to be safe. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
True. In many cases, small campers do not have have a sofa (unless a Murphy bed) or living space for relaxing. That's definitely an important fact to keep in mind. Thanks for pointing that out Lawrence.
The 1808, IMO, is a camping trailer, not an RV. When we go camping, we spend our time relaxing outside. If it weren’t for being able to make the dinette into a bed, we wouldn’t really need it at all unless it was raining. I do miss the old days, when my body allowed me to sleep in a tent on the ground.
@@markduree7132 an RV is a recreational vehicle. The 1808 is a recreational vehicle. Everyone camps differently and if you are camping in a small TT then space is limited and wanting to be comfortable is important. Sometimes it rains, is chilly or you just want to be cozy inside. Lawrence’s question was a fair question. And don’t you own a Super C?
We are learning that more campers, even small ones, are equipped to handle extended camping season. Which includes heated underbelly and tanks and dual pane windows but not easy to find truly 4 season. We did inquire at our last RV show. We'll keep looking. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I swear these camper/ RV business make these things with the cheapest materials possible and sell them for the price of a house. Until things change not happening for me. For that reason I’m out. These things are worse of an investment than an automobile.
Hi Winston, No one should ever buy an RV as an investment. They only go down in value over time - just like a car. And quality has always been a huge issue. And many people don't know how to properly maintain their RV either. Thanks again for watching... Mike
@@RVBlogger yeah. I think that would be an issues for me is the maintenance because I’m not savvy with that stuff. Your latest video of the Cortes fiberglass camper would be my only hope I think.
The Winnebago is absolutely awful. The shower is ridiculously small and the bed is way too short. The TV is in the wrong place and the toilet has virtually no room on the right side. And the flip up counter is almost useless. Whoever designed this atrocity obviously never goes RV camping.
Then I think that wouldn't be a fair review for our viewers. We don't insult manufacturers but definitely point out features that would not be user friendly. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@RVBlogger I think you’re doing a great job. Some of these campers are made with cheap materials that won’t last. 2023 and none of these companies can come out with a 4 seasons camper or RV? It’s complete crap! They should all be 4 seasons….from a small tear drop to a full sized RV. We are on the verge of sending people to mars but can’t get a true 4 seasons camper!? Wtf. Anyway thanks for being honest.

That lower bunk area is perfect for catboxes or dog kennel. 😀👍
Another great idea! Thanks for sharing!
I Nominate my Lance 1685. 21.5 feet overall, 6'6" slide (queen size) front queen, quality everywhere super resale.
Lance makes beautiful quality campers! Glad you love yours. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I love your channel, it's very informative. I am impressed by the Forest River NoBo but the lack of drawers is a bit inconvenient. I would suggest that they redesign the cabinet in the entertainment area to include drawers for utensils. Two thumbs up.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We really appreciate your support! That's a great tip about the utensil drawer! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
I like the NoBo.
Hey Brian,
Great choice!

No problem! I’ve been looking at the Grand Design Imagine XLS 17MKE but I might like the NoBo a little more.
The best is the 2023 Jayco Jay Feather 21MML

What about Rockwood/Flagstaff models that are 24’?
Hey Sheri
We'll keep an eye out! Thanks for the suggestion!

First camper question. If the fridge only runs on propane or shore power does that mean that if it had solar it would not be able to stay on or would it need some sort of inverter from 110v to 12v? I like the FR NO which has 3 windows in the bedroom and two chair bar. Do you think the NOBO could of had a second tv on the the wall to left of of the Murphy bed just above the window? It would be good for the persons sleeping in the master of if someone was cooking they could watch tv.never would want a microwave below the stove. Would rather have it above and storage below. Question do you think the NOBO 20.4 could have had a U shaped dinette or there would not be about space? I notice that you don’t get into options on these models such as solar. Do they have auto leveling?
You would need an inverter to sun your fridge off solar. I think TV placement is an afterthought sometimes. We don't mention the variety of options manufacturers have because we try to keep our reviews brief. We aren't aware of any travel trailer with auto leveling jacks.

Hey, that's our Micro Minnie....one of the best RV in the industry! 🤘 Next time you are here, you'll have to check-in with our team and collab! 😎
Hi Beckley's RV. We love visiting your location. You have always been gracious to let us tour your rigs and we very much appreciate it! See you at the Timonium RV Show in February!
Not thrilled with the layouts of these. An east west bed can be difficult for an older person to get in and out of. We just finished putting over 1.4K miles on our Surveyor 19RBSC and love the amount of room and storage it has. Also a dream to tow. Really surprised that two of the units still use the older style fridge. With my solar panel and a larger battery, mine will run for hours.
Hey RatDog
That's awesome (about your trailer)! Safe travels and happy camping!! :)

@@RVBlogger Ok, my bad. I meant to say 1,400 miles, not 14,000!
Much prefer the 'older style' fridge. During summer, I operate the fridge and water heater on propane to free up amps for the AC and other things.
is it just me or do you also don’t like dinettes. to me it’s a waste of space. i don’t eat at a table in my house.
😂 In a small camper I think dinettes can be a waste of space. Nothing a TV tray can't fix! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Same
I like a dinette for alternative seating, my 25' TT has a Murphy bed, excellent use of space. It also has drawers below the belt line, far easier to access. Love my 2021 Keystone Passport 219bh.
The bed is called an rv queen
Thank you! And thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
I just watched an older video .
It said small campers with no bathroom
The last camper had pop up beds on both sides of the camper .
WHAT CAMPER WAS THAT ? I CANT FIND IT AGAIN I've searched for 2 days .
Please help !!!!
So sorry for the delay! Was it the inTech Flyer Explore? It has pop up beds on both sides. Thank you for watching and commenting. ruclips.net/video/fHWH3aO9R44/видео.html
They all look very nice are you ready but I wouldn’t give you a dollar for the first two maybe two dollars for the third one. Maybe you can answer this question. Why do the majority of the travel trailer put the dining table opposite your campsite. I have no desire to watch the neighbors while I have breakfast/lunch. Again great video and review. Thanks
Not even $2? 😂 We agree we like the dinette on camp side. Not sure why they build that way? Maybe so you can keep an eye on kids while cooking? Thanks for watching and commenting!
Because the slide is only on that side of the TT. My 25' TT has no slides and my dinette is where it's s'posed to be! My Murphy bed is a must as well since when it's folded, I have a nice sofa. When it's down, I have a full queen bed. Murphy bed is an excellent use of space in a small TT.
Looking for something small for my mom. Thanks 😊

Any travel trailers i can tow with my 2wd 2015 ford explorer?
What is the tow capacity of your vehicle? My instincts tell me the tow capacity is too low. As a rule we recommend only towing 80% of your vehicles capacity to be safe. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting!
The Winnebago Hike is WAY better than the MM in my opinion.

Where do you relax in the evening…the 1808’s dinette? Very uncomfortable.
True. In many cases, small campers do not have have a sofa (unless a Murphy bed) or living space for relaxing. That's definitely an important fact to keep in mind. Thanks for pointing that out Lawrence.
The 1808, IMO, is a camping trailer, not an RV. When we go camping, we spend our time relaxing outside. If it weren’t for being able to make the dinette into a bed, we wouldn’t really need it at all unless it was raining. I do miss the old days, when my body allowed me to sleep in a tent on the ground.
@@markduree7132 an RV is a recreational vehicle. The 1808 is a recreational vehicle. Everyone camps differently and if you are camping in a small TT then space is limited and wanting to be comfortable is important. Sometimes it rains, is chilly or you just want to be cozy inside. Lawrence’s question was a fair question. And don’t you own a Super C?
Is it good in freezing climates ?
Hey Buck Toe,
The campers?

@@RVBlogger no problem
I agree on that shower. Too tight. So is the toilet.👎
Yea! It was a real bummer! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yeah I'd take that handle off that cabinet.
That's a great idea!
How about small campers that are 4 season.
We are learning that more campers, even small ones, are equipped to handle extended camping season. Which includes heated underbelly and tanks and dual pane windows but not easy to find truly 4 season. We did inquire at our last RV show. We'll keep looking. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@RVBlogger check out the Kodiak cub 185mb, 4 season, full bath, 50 fresh, 40 gray, 40 black tanks, 23' over all length. 3860lb. We love ours.
I swear these camper/ RV business make these things with the cheapest materials possible and sell them for the price of a house. Until things change not happening for me. For that reason I’m out. These things are worse of an investment than an automobile.
Hi Winston,
No one should ever buy an RV as an investment. They only go down in value over time - just like a car. And quality has always been a huge issue. And many people don't know how to properly maintain their RV either.
Thanks again for watching...
Mike
@@RVBlogger yeah. I think that would be an issues for me is the maintenance because I’m not savvy with that stuff. Your latest video of the Cortes fiberglass camper would be my only hope I think.
I was thinking the same thing.
Winnebago 2108fbs is the way to go, 1808fbs is a poor choice to review. 2108 fbs is still under 25ft

The Winnebago is absolutely awful. The shower is ridiculously small and the bed is way too short. The TV is in the wrong place and the toilet has virtually no room on the right side. And the flip up counter is almost useless. Whoever designed this atrocity obviously never goes RV camping.
Agree! We were really disappointed. Winnebago has much better products than that! Thanks for watching and commenting.
The entertainment center is in a bad spot for the second camper

You shouldn’t say anything negative
Then I think that wouldn't be a fair review for our viewers. We don't insult manufacturers but definitely point out features that would not be user friendly. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@RVBlogger I think you’re doing a great job. Some of these campers are made with cheap materials that won’t last. 2023 and none of these companies can come out with a 4 seasons camper or RV? It’s complete crap! They should all be 4 seasons….from a small tear drop to a full sized RV. We are on the verge of sending people to mars but can’t get a true 4 seasons camper!? Wtf. Anyway thanks for being honest.
@@RVBlogger sorry to sound negative but I was truly interested in this lifestyle when I retire but maybe it’s just not for me.
