I've been traveling around the States in my 18RJB since May and I really like this camper. I'm not sure how they could have packed more features into it. The build quality is functional, but not high end; just like the price tag. There were some issues, so don't leave the dealer until you check everything like you should on any purchase. I travel solo with a cruiser style motorcycle and tow with a half ton chevy van. There's not a better trailer on the market for my situation and needs and I have no regrets. Notes after 6 months of ownership: 1) The headboard comes out with 8 screws and a normal queen mattress fits perfect. 2) The bunk is a shelf, take the pad out as soon as you get home. 3) The AC has a hard time reaching the bed and the hot water heater is right below the bed. A small fan next to the door does a good job of pushing cooler air around the sleeping area. 4) The rear screens are a good fit, but the roll down flaps seem like an afterthought. They curl in the heat and don't stay closed. Zippers or a full velcro surround would have made the entire option feel premium instead of cheap. 5) I have the off road package and it looks great with those big, nubby tires that will never-ever see a trail. It adds 2 inches of hight to the deck which means the stable stairs don't always reach the ground on less than level campsites. And the angle of attack on the rear ramp is steeper. Quads and dirt bikes should load fine, but my stock cruiser will not make it over the crest. I built a ramp extension and rest the factory ramp on all my leveling legos. It gets the job done, but it loses the purpose built cool factor of a factory ramp that works like a ramp. 6) The four corner stabilizers do a great job and the rig feels very stable. Hit em with wd-40 every time you raise them. 7) I use the deck so much more than I thought I would! I can't imagine not having one at this point. It's an immediate talking point for most camping neighbors. 8) With the bike out, the floor plan has a lot of "dead" space where it's just the open floor. Turns out I love this and it makes the trailer feel more like a tiny apartment rather than a camper. Even though it's a small trailer, the first thing I notice about other campers is how tight the walkways can feel. 9) There is no indoor entertainment space. Not bad for shelter when it's raining, but its entertainment value is awkward at best unless you can sit outside or on the deck. Josh was spot on about the staring contests! 10) I would buy another one and I can see why people rarely trade these in.
Thanks so much for this comment. I'm currently shopping for one of these to travel the country with my motorcycle for the next few months, just like you. This has been some of the best info found.
Hi there. I’m a 2022 black label owner and love this trailer. But, after the third use the awning pulled away about two feet in each end. Any issue with yours? Dealer ordered a new one but still… concerned about the way it’s attached.
Josh, something overlooked at times would be that this would be a perfect trailer for someone who needs a mobility scooter to get around. I would appreciate that possibility in the future. Excellent for people in a wheelchair. For drawers I would just go to one of the big box stores and buy a cabinet of drawers to screw down in the floor and wood studded wall. Could actually go fairly crazy adding cabinets on the camp side or maybe a sofa or recliner....plenty of after market furniture to choose from. This is a box of endless possibilities! Good video as always Josh! God Bless!
great idea.... it had crossed my mind once before but forgot until now, they should make an rv floor plan specifically for mobility scooter people, where front door instead of having steps has one of those handicap lift like on vans with a bit wider door..... there are a lot of various models out there that could be altered by not a whole lot to make a wheelchair / scooter version.... powered doors/ramps/lift as case may be, stick to the wider hall way more open floorplans... a lot of scooter people i have seen around nearly live in it, that IS their recliner at home too... just get out of it for bathroom and bed, well that is more wheelchair bound but, same diff in some ways, ... point is, they make cars that scooter and wheelchair bound people can use perfectly fine, some to the point that only the disabled person can even sit in it, noone else can even drive it. no driver seat at all etc. so why not build a version of rv that has similar abilities .... i actually do know a lady in a wheelchair who does go camping with her man, have nice about 32 foot i think trailer, is no problem for her, since she can get around on one leg, but would be nice to be able to use chair in there too.
@@tremjar1305 Tremjar, you bring up many good points. Seeing a child in a chair getting to go camping is a mental picture that makes me smile. I spent quite a bit of time in a chair as a kid (car accident) I would of loved it to no end :) Then add the adults who would benefit from this opportunity to enjoy camping time.........AWESOME!!!! Camping is a medicine that no Pharmacist can make.
We love ours. We use the "bunk" as a penthouse for our cat. Her bed at one end, litter box at the other and food in the middle. She can jump from our bed to the bunk. We did replace the 4" short queen mattress with an 8" memory foam. You forgot to show that the mattress lifts up to access the storage underneath. And love the 10.7 cu. ft. 12v compressor fridge.
Hey Josh! You failed to mention “old people scooters”! When I exhaust going down the road, it’s usually in the truck! Then I get a shot in the ribs!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I actually thought of it but on the fly wasn't doing a good job of thinking of a way to say that without sounding negatively about them. TY though. Great point
When that table is folded down it is the perfect height for a walk up bar for dwarves or leprechauns!!!! If you lure in the second and get him drunk you could end up with a pot of gold! Just watch out for those dead beat garden gnomes!
I wish someone would make a the bed at the ramp area a double sized bunk that stores up in the ceiling and out of the way. I love this trailer though. Very versatile for 2 ebikes and 2 kayaks.
@@JoshtheRVNerd bunks bunks bunks....I have kids and bikes...I like anything with bunks. Anxiously waiting to see the Ember bunkhouse trailer in person.
This is the sort of trailer that I find quite appealing from a utilitarian perspective. All the basics covered and ready to customize to fit your wants and needs. One of these days I'll be stopping in to check things out.
My thoughts: This is actually one of the first campers I looked at when I started shopping. (Well, not counting when I was sticker shocked out of the Airstream dealer around the corner from my house!) I didn't even know this was intended as a toy hauler, but I saw the wide open floor and figured that would be a good place for my daughter's pack and play. But she won't be in that thing for very long, so I quickly moved on to looking at bunkhouses. Totally agree with you on that top "bunk". The last thing I'd want is to be sound asleep and my kid rolls off and lands on top of me. 🤣 I love, love, love the rear patio ramp. There's plenty of cargo space for more tables and chairs, so you could really turn this tiny camper into a multi-family hangout spot. That quick jack continues to be the coolest thing!
That little "bunk" really is better served as storage space like you mentioned. Seems super odd they would even consider putting a mattress pad up there
I feel you on the people asking info you've already provided. I work at a quick service restaurant. I can't tell you how many times I've asked people if they need condiments. They say no. I hand them their bag. They look in the bag and ask.....you put ketchup in here, right? 🤦♀️No. No, I didn't.
Your comment about someone getting in if they really want to - we have a 16fq with that same large window. Always suggest that people either put a window slide rod or thumb screw. Someone can barely push on the window and slide it open. We did a little thumb screw window channel lock and it works well.
Definitely totes or cabinets instead of the wanna be bunk, lol! And, forget about toys..Wow! I love the patio. I'm a smoker who doesn't smoke inside. If the patio area had an awning, perfect spot for my morning coffee and smoke. The other thing I really, really love is all that space for my cats. I could put a regular cat tree in that thing. My cats would love all those windows. If only the screen was a slide out, this would make a perfect single person trailer.😍
Catching up on your content after being out of town all week (work! lots of fun, but still work, lol). I've been just skimming most of the 19 videos I have queued up. Watched this one start to end. Not sure why. Something about the simplicity just grabbed my attention.
We ended up searching one of these out and made a treck this fall from Connecticut to Minnesota to get it. We will be hauling a harley in it. We camped on the way back with us in the bed and my boyfriends adult son on the dinette bed. He is 6' and was comfortable on it and we tossed the mattress from the upper bunk on that bed for additional padding. The positives are the open wall for easy loading, the huge windows, the storage above and below the bed, the amazing patio space and the table makes great extra prep space. We can pull it easily with our v6 truck as well. The only negatives I have is the bathroom is almost unusable small with the door closed, almost, and the mattress is horrible. Oh and no drawer for silverware. But we can fix the bed issue and deal with the bathroom easy enough. We love it and can't wait to load up the bike and go on some adventures!
This is on my short list! The ‘bunk’ is perfect for stowing my musical instruments. My dog will love the outdoor deck. I wish the bed was oriented the other way so it’s easier for me and the hub. Would be nice to have some sort of storage in the bathroom, but something could be figured out, I suppose. I can expand the sleeping space to the deck with some sort of screen house or clam, or even a tent I guess. Likin’ it!
This looks perfect for my daughter and her husband and 2 small kids! Room for their bicycles! And yeah, I don't see ANYONE sleeping in that upper space. I would use it for clothing and towels.
Oh! My wife just pointed out that it may not have bunks, but you could fit some child cots in the ample cargo space and still have a walkway to the bathroom! Or maybe just fill that space with an inflatable mattress and turn that space into one mega bed for all the kids! Lots of possibilities with this one.
Very nice unit. About the only 'option' I would add is a retractable/storable patio/deck cover. Still be able to use the patio in a lite to medium rain, not rushing around to close the unit up while raining. Maybe include side curtains for the patio cover.
@@JoshtheRVNerd I was thinking more like weekend long set ups for flea markets and country fairs. The cargo space could be used to haul your items and set up for your booth etc.
@@JoshtheRVNerd You and I both better strive to win the staring contest portion outright than or they’ll end up calling it a chicken fight 😅. I have a theory that it is related to be being dads of only daughters…. Harder to maintain the strength curling tea cups instead of training against the “Incredible Hulk” or launching forward attacks against mom
"Humor of a 5 year old"... Wife says I have one of a 12 year old. I guess that's better than a 5 year old. But when it is all said and done...I enjoy and get your humor
For the "bunk", it seems that they could've made it a few inches wider which would have helped. But I like your idea of leaving it open for storage as well. And can you get steps for the patio from the factory? Blinds?
If you have a motorcycle, scooter or kayaks to haul then this might be awesome! I would caution using this for wheelchair access or a person with disabilities due to the very difficult to make and access east west bed…But, if you have nothing to haul, then that recently reviewed mini lite 2109 next to this camper is 10 times more comfortable and livable with it’s fiberglass siding, comfortable sofa, walk around bed, porcelain toilet, TV, 3 burner stove with oven, better storage, dual propane tanks, power tongue jack, 190 watt solar package, etc👍👍👍
@@JoshtheRVNerd it's perfect for someone who maybe climbs too. Slide a paddle board or 2 in there. I use to snowboard, ski and occasionally still fish. It's not so big you can not keep it warm, not so small you can't have some adventures exploring Utah, Colorado or Arizona.
Josh I would ask Cherokee to have a hide a bunk option, leave the kiddo bunk above the bed for storage and yes! Could that panel below the cooktop be removed and a drawer added? Also I was wanting to know if you could give me the length from the passenger side chair to the fire extinguisher? I’m planning on buying one of these for hunting and installing a after market bunk bed on the camp side window wall Thanks bud for the great work and please keep going love the channel brother! 4:12
Put the bunk mattress on the dinette when it is in bed mode for more cushioning. That "bunk" shelf is a good place to store the dinette cushions when the dinette seats are folded up. I would prefer a few inches of counter between the stovetop and the cabinet wall to the side. It allows wider pans on the stove. Square or rectangular sinks are easier to wash pans in instead of a round sink. A couple could sleep in the queen bed, one kid on the dinette bed, and a twin-size air mattress could fit on the floor for a second kid. Toy haulers give a LOT of flexibility inside for varying uses. If they had one of these available down here it would have been in the top three on my shopping list. Just the sort of flexibility I want in the size I am looking for!
That shelf mattress could go on top of the rear dinette fold-down for more cushioning. Or throw it on the floor for an extra sleeping space or dog bed.
Give me a small slide out, 1 more axle and turn the bed into bunk beds and it’s the perfect camper IMO! Oh and change the exterior to that light brown keystone cougar type exterior 😍
I don’t think you would want to deal with a Murphy type bed in the rear where the garage is. Kind of defeats the purpose of accessibility. I actually took out the jump seats and table out to have more floor space for my toys.
Purchased the 18rjb recently mainly for motorcycle track days, perfect for a family of 3. We were considering the intech toy hauler but the misses wanted a bathroom. My 12 yr old had no problems sleeping in the dining area once we made it into a sleeping space. If you purchase the first thing is change out the short queen mattress its garbage. I'm 6ft tall and took a shower with no problems. Using the toilet is very tight with the door closed. If they would of rotated the toilet to face the shower you would have more room. Fridge is HUGE! lots of space. The party patio is amazing, rare to find with a TH this size. great if you have dogs. Mine did not come with the optional screen wall (highly recommend getting) I cant seem to find one online anywhere. The top bunk is a joke, nobody is sleeping up there. It is awesome for storage space though...plenty of room. All in all we love our lil toy hauler. It only being 7ft wide is awesome especially if towing with a smaller vehicle. I own a 21' Tacoma and it pulls with no problem. Connecting to the rear view camera via phone app is a pain. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. The USB port on the stereo wont play music off a usb drive, i think its mainly to charge your phone. Anyways if you're looking for a small Toy hauler this is it. Any questions go ahead and ask, ill try my best to answer.
I like this a lot. I like to stock up from Costco or Sam's so I'd have lots of room to store it. I would probably take that tiny upper mattress and put it against the wall, on the bed, for insulation on cold winter nights (it's better than it hanging above). That toilet stool is just wrong! The majority of people are right handed so put it that close to the shower tub and both people have plenty of arm space. Great video; thanks for posting.
@@JoshtheRVNerd I grew up a cowboy on a 32,000 acre ranch on an Indian Reservation (I'm Native American on both sides). After HS, I went on to do other things. I was always a rock hound so at 31, I finished a Geology degree and did that (Scientist) until I retired. So, then I started going by Cowboy Geologist.
I have one of these and love it. And I did exactly as you stated about the bunk mattress against the wall in the bed area. I store bins up there on the bunk for linens and dirty laundry etc.
Great little unit. Would love to see a rear drop down "bunk" like in the big toy hauler and a rear awning. And get rid of the front "bunk and give us some cabinets
Dog shows for the win! The table would work great for grooming the dog too. One thing that would be nice to mention is the weight rating on the benches that go with the fold-up table. Also what size tv would you put in?
@@JoshtheRVNerd I have 3 Pembroke Welsh Corgis, boys are 13 and 6 and the girl is 9 months. Both boys are retired Champions and the girl is aspiring to be one. If we didn't love our 2205s this would be perfect.
I've got some ideas to help make this a better design. 1. Get rid of the top bunk and make it a strorage cabinet. 2. Make the trailer eight to twelve inches longer and use it to make the seats and the table longer. This will give you a larger back bunk. 3. BRAIN STORM: I've seen toy haulers with a rear drop down bunk. Put one in the back above the seats and table. This will give you bunk beds. I can suggest a tall awning to go over the rear patio. That takes care of the rain but you still have the pesky bug problem. The bugs will always win. Do me a favor Josh, pass on all of the great ideas in the comments to Cherokee. Even without my ideas, I still like this RV.
I'm looking for one thats got at least 82" clearance on my Honda 700....but it looks like its like my jayco 236th....all that extra kitchen and cabinets that deter one from getting his 115" buggy up in there.However,you could get those lil battery cars that kids like in there.Need to know how much open space is from rear to first "in the way" kitchen stuff!
Oh my Josh, getting closer to what I'd be interested in. However, with no toy I'd have to make to many notifications 😖 Guess this would work for a fishing or hunting trip ☺ Keep em' comin & I'll keep watching!
@@JoshtheRVNerd Are you sure you want to know Josh? 😂😂😂 Ok, here goes: 33' or less TT/TH (that won't need a semi to pull)☺ Would really REALLY like: 💟⭐the porch w/doors (side or back; one of each would probably be pushing it but the 🐱 & 🐕 would love it ☺) 💟⭐Residential stove/oven! ⭐💟 Pantry space ✴No microwave (space to put the EL 360 especially if it's a small stove!) ⭐💟 Did i say pantry space ⭐💟Outdoor kitchen OR with a connect under an awning w/storage (to fit my 'large' 30+ yr old the Coleman kitchen ; stores approx 3'×22"x4" (L W H) when collapsed for storage) 💟 Carpetless (easier for my walker or wheel chair) 💟 footy frier would be 👍 ⭐ 💟table & chairs ⭐✴ washer/dryer IN bathroom (OR with a bathroom closet that could be modified. i actually have a lil washer that would fit in a 18"x18" with space to spare. Sadly its a bottom drain leaste it has a pump!) Wouldn't need a sofa bed or couch - just space for a rocker recliner (or two or chair/ottamon. Accessible storage is allllways👍👍👍) ❇A slide is fine as long as: ✴ camp side window & ✴ has travel access to kitchen/bath & bed. ✴No speaker or tv outside. ⭐ Generator ❇ solar package (could deal with ready to install - forget what you called that) I love boondocking (not into RV glamp resorts). Like the ability to be on the move. (I've given up on my 5th wheel & RVs being recovered.) I've seen a couple made by different manufacturers... Just need to combine them! (Think it is the Forest River TH & the Azdell) Thanks Josh.
@@JoshtheRVNerd Never know! Someone might just come up with something close! Reading others comments several said they'd like several of the things i mentioned! Know where i could fond some basic templets of TT stuff. I could play around and design one. Have time and graph paper i been playing with already! Drafting a tiny home is simpler, but i want it to roll! LOL
This is a good video. Nice camper, I like the bunk but make a plywood slide out like the 1960s. Then use one of those dbl bunk mattresses that fold over. Last I would like to see this with a little wider dinette and over head bunk. This size is perfect not criticizing the camper but this could be more practical and better. Good, but could be great! Thank you Josh. Nice job!
Man I'm not sure many living camping creatures beyond a cat or occasional bird would work up there lol I sometimes get accused of being too positive about everything. I think this comment is a good example that I am not, in fact, happy with EVERYTHING I see
This unit has me reconsidering toy haulers. A small one would be nice but I also prefer dual axles. Small dual axle travel trailer toy hauler with a slide for recliner - hmmm. A view of the roof would have been nice also as I always like to figure out how many additional solar panels I could put up there. Boondocking is my thing.
@@JoshtheRVNerd Impressive that you keep your videos organized so you can easily find them. Yes, the tandem axle is great, with a decent price AND some serious cargo capacity.
What SUV’s would you say can tow this? I understand they have to have the correct tow package and stuff but I’d at least have an idea on where to start looking
Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Nissan Pathfinder, and several others. Keep in mind many of those vehicles have optional towing packages. You'll basically want the tow package version of any of those.
That's a nice unit but the sink and fridge should have been where that large window is that the right allowing two bikes or a small UTV to fit with that hauling capacity.
Josh is a single axle toy hauler dangerous when pulling a big cruiser motorcycle. The wolf pup seems perfect for my needs but others have said to get a double axle. I have f150 so this wt is ideal. Any similar rvs with low wt and double axles?
Josh great vids. Here's a question on my limited options and what do you think is my best option. I have a 2019 Toyota 2WD with a 3.5L V-6.Option one is the Wolf Pup 18RJB, but do you think I can get away with a Forest River 210RT or a 260RT? I don't want to burn the truck out, but future plans is to get a larger truck and by the way I have 4 large German Shepherds and I'm needing toy hauler with a deck and railing set up like these Forest River units. What do you say is best for us?
@@JoshtheRVNerd Toyota Tacoma, V6 3.5L, 2 wheel drive automatic and has a 5 foot bed. They rate the thing to have a tow max of 6,800 lbs, but as a mechanic.....there's no way and I don't want to run the truck into the ground. I'm looking for a toy hauler like the Forest River 210RT or Grey Wolf 18RR or something that is light with deck and same deck rail system to keep dogs contained. Yeah four German Shepherds....Thank you so much for you help and reply!!!
@@juancam648 So the max weight with fully loaded cargo is nicely below that max tow rating by over 1,000lbs. So that makes me feel good. Obviously for something like towing through MOUNTAINS the truck is going to be burning its candle at both ends when you lose horsepower in the thinner elevated air. Double check your payload vs. this one's hitch weight for sure On paper for "modest terrain" it seems a solid pairing
This trailer is okay for it’s purpose. As long as your hauling something then it may be the trailer for you. Sorry, this one is not my cup of tea.I don’t like east to west beds, but I understand why that was done to keep the size and weight down.
0:11 they lost me at only 26 gallon fresh water tank❗️😔 1:18 & the round kitchen sink‼️😞 … other than that, the blank canvass in a small package is nice 👍🏽
I'm honestly not in the market for a toy hauler, but I will chime in on that weird "bunk". No human could sleep there, so why a mattress? Thank you for the video!
for me this would be about perfect, agree on shelf above bed, that is a shelf, maybe put up a net and done there, more solar and batteries always, they could have 6 lithium batteries and 1000 watts of solar and i would say why not 1500?..1000 watt inverter? why not 3000? i may want to put a drill press in there lol (actually ordered a shop build van to do window work on car once, dude had a drill press, and all kinds of other shop tools in the van, made the part he needed on the spot, sweet setup, showed me all around), tv mount on swing arm off the wall there, put in a single house recliner with back to dinette facing tv on swing arm which you can move around or take out as needed (many recliners come apart in 2 pieces, could just toss it on the bed when in way) looks like enough room for average golf cart maybe, definately a single quad or 3 wheeler or jet ski, with maybe a dirt bike in front if pack it full, which for someone like me, chances are would only have one of those anyway, not 2 or 4 of them, or anything bigger by much, outside tv and speaker placement perfect, tv between speakers, all in middle of awning, can watch star wars in a thunder storm, still have good sound and stay dry, ... favorite thing about any toy hauler model for me is fact that can double as a standard cargo trailer, i do tend to move every few years for some reason or another, usually work, always have since a kid. ... bathroom, good enough, that wall you against will hold you up if you pass out drunk on the can! ..... this is probably the trailer i would actually buy after watching many videos if had the money, and a truck to tow it with, may get back to you when i eventually find a truck i can get first, car wont do it, but cant get rid of car because need that for current line of work. .. for my price range and needs that i would want in that price range, this is about it, no point in looking at much else.... if i was able to get THE one for my price range... not just the one i can afford and happen to find like happens with many things. the cargo and versatility aspect while being a camper you could nearly live in at same time.... for those of us on the lower income ends lol.... i would call this a portable man cave, can do anything you want in there, anything from cargo trailer to toys to making a mobile gaming center if wanted to (seen that done too), mobile work shop as van dude above had his van built in to, office, whatever.

We love ours. We use the "bunk" as a penthouse for our cat. Her bed at one end, litter box at the other and food in the middle. She can jump from our bed to the bunk. We did replace the 4" short queen mattress with an 8" memory foam. You forgot to show that the mattress lifts up to access the storage underneath. And love the 10.7 cu. ft. 12v compressor fridge.

Hey Josh! You failed to mention “old people scooters”! When I exhaust going down the road, it’s usually in the truck! Then I get a shot in the ribs!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I actually thought of it but on the fly wasn't doing a good job of thinking of a way to say that without sounding negatively about them. TY though. Great point
When that table is folded down it is the perfect height for a walk up bar for dwarves or leprechauns!!!! If you lure in the second and get him drunk you could end up with a pot of gold! Just watch out for those dead beat garden gnomes!
They're the minions of the infamous gas station murder hobos... I swear it
you're killin me Buck

I wish someone would make a the bed at the ramp area a double sized bunk that stores up in the ceiling and out of the way. I love this trailer though. Very versatile for 2 ebikes and 2 kayaks.
🙌🏻 say it louder for the builders in the back
@@JoshtheRVNerd bunks bunks bunks....I have kids and bikes...I like anything with bunks. Anxiously waiting to see the Ember bunkhouse trailer in person.
Jayco made one but they discontinued it
@@armybiker This one? ruclips.net/video/9z7_H7SQwkM/видео.html
This is the sort of trailer that I find quite appealing from a utilitarian perspective. All the basics covered and ready to customize to fit your wants and needs. One of these days I'll be stopping in to check things out.
We look forward to meeting you! :)
I like it. I would just use the ramp in patio mode all the time(I have no toys). Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
I'd be the same. Maybe an ebike. Kayak if we felt crazy
My thoughts:
This is actually one of the first campers I looked at when I started shopping. (Well, not counting when I was sticker shocked out of the Airstream dealer around the corner from my house!) I didn't even know this was intended as a toy hauler, but I saw the wide open floor and figured that would be a good place for my daughter's pack and play. But she won't be in that thing for very long, so I quickly moved on to looking at bunkhouses.
Totally agree with you on that top "bunk". The last thing I'd want is to be sound asleep and my kid rolls off and lands on top of me. 🤣
I love, love, love the rear patio ramp. There's plenty of cargo space for more tables and chairs, so you could really turn this tiny camper into a multi-family hangout spot.
That quick jack continues to be the coolest thing!
That little "bunk" really is better served as storage space like you mentioned. Seems super odd they would even consider putting a mattress pad up there
Add more plywood to extend it another foot or two.
I feel you on the people asking info you've already provided. I work at a quick service restaurant. I can't tell you how many times I've asked people if they need condiments. They say no. I hand them their bag. They look in the bag and ask.....you put ketchup in here, right? 🤦♀️No. No, I didn't.
I slung chicken for colonel sanders. I feel ya
I have the 2019. Single mom 2 kids and dirt bikes. Love it!
Love this, so much potential. Gonna go Full-time, and this does check the boxes.
Wow! Thanks for watching! I think you're the first to comment btw :)
Bing, bing, bing, we have a winner! My perfect camper.
Your comment about someone getting in if they really want to - we have a 16fq with that same large window. Always suggest that people either put a window slide rod or thumb screw. Someone can barely push on the window and slide it open. We did a little thumb screw window channel lock and it works well.
Awesome. Ty for the tip!
Definitely totes or cabinets instead of the wanna be bunk, lol! And, forget about toys..Wow! I love the patio. I'm a smoker who doesn't smoke inside. If the patio area had an awning, perfect spot for my morning coffee and smoke. The other thing I really, really love is all that space for my cats. I could put a regular cat tree in that thing. My cats would love all those windows. If only the screen was a slide out, this would make a perfect single person trailer.😍
I also smoke and I agree with you.
@@rayramsey6711 👍🏻
CATS ♥️😃👍
Catching up on your content after being out of town all week (work! lots of fun, but still work, lol). I've been just skimming most of the 19 videos I have queued up. Watched this one start to end. Not sure why. Something about the simplicity just grabbed my attention.
We ended up searching one of these out and made a treck this fall from Connecticut to Minnesota to get it. We will be hauling a harley in it. We camped on the way back with us in the bed and my boyfriends adult son on the dinette bed. He is 6' and was comfortable on it and we tossed the mattress from the upper bunk on that bed for additional padding. The positives are the open wall for easy loading, the huge windows, the storage above and below the bed, the amazing patio space and the table makes great extra prep space. We can pull it easily with our v6 truck as well. The only negatives I have is the bathroom is almost unusable small with the door closed, almost, and the mattress is horrible. Oh and no drawer for silverware. But we can fix the bed issue and deal with the bathroom easy enough. We love it and can't wait to load up the bike and go on some adventures!
I actually wondered about using that “bunk” mat on the dinette!! Thank you for sharing some real world info
This is on my short list! The ‘bunk’ is perfect for stowing my musical instruments. My dog will love the outdoor deck. I wish the bed was oriented the other way so it’s easier for me and the hub. Would be nice to have some sort of storage in the bathroom, but something could be figured out, I suppose. I can expand the sleeping space to the deck with some sort of screen house or clam, or even a tent I guess. Likin’ it!
Agree! It’s a storage shelf. Not a bunk
This looks perfect for my daughter and her husband and 2 small kids! Room for their bicycles! And yeah, I don't see ANYONE sleeping in that upper space. I would use it for clothing and towels.
Maybe a cat could sleep there lol
@@JoshtheRVNerd yes! That would be a perfect cat perch lol!
This thing is brilliant! Love your videos
Thanks so much!
Oh! My wife just pointed out that it may not have bunks, but you could fit some child cots in the ample cargo space and still have a walkway to the bathroom! Or maybe just fill that space with an inflatable mattress and turn that space into one mega bed for all the kids! Lots of possibilities with this one.
Yeah it feels more like a shelf than a bunk
We have Wildwood version of this quite happy with it
Very nice unit. About the only 'option' I would add is a retractable/storable patio/deck cover. Still be able to use the patio in a lite to medium rain, not rushing around to close the unit up while raining. Maybe include side curtains for the patio cover.
That would be really awesome. Wish they made something like that for these
or if they do I'm ignorant to them..
Would like to see in your demo, adult dirt bikes or an atv loaded in to get a general sense for how these might fit in there.
nice little unit, wish it had an extra 10 gallons of fresh water in the tank
Wow neat little trailer. So many options to use this for
Kayaks and eBikes always jump in my head on these
@@JoshtheRVNerd I was thinking more like weekend long set ups for flea markets and country fairs. The cargo space could be used to haul your items and set up for your booth etc.
I would suggest any disputes arising from the camp staring contest be immediately settled with an arm wrestling match
When you have chicken arms like mine it's not much of a "Contest"
@@JoshtheRVNerd
You and I both better strive to win the staring contest portion outright than or they’ll end up calling it a chicken fight 😅. I have a theory that it is related to be being dads of only daughters…. Harder to maintain the strength curling tea cups instead of training against the “Incredible Hulk” or launching forward attacks against mom
Did you just say..Crocs, socks & undies. Lol! So funny
Probably lol
"Humor of a 5 year old"... Wife says I have one of a 12 year old. I guess that's better than a 5 year old. But when it is all said and done...I enjoy and get your humor
This one makes my sticker peck out!! LOVE it..TY!!
shower sink would be PERFECT for my homemade gravity bong.
For the "bunk", it seems that they could've made it a few inches wider which would have helped. But I like your idea of leaving it open for storage as well.
And can you get steps for the patio from the factory? Blinds?
No factory patio step available
Not sure what you mean by “Blinds?”
Does it have them? Absolutely
Josh somehow I missed this one last year. That is awesome! That's the doomsday Spam pallet hauler we've all been waiting for!!!
Ahaahahaha
❤️It!
Ramp Deck Comba Mamba
Load Ramp
Picnic Deck
Dance Floor for Two 💃🏼
Just imagining looking out my window and seeing this..
If you have a motorcycle, scooter or kayaks to haul then this might be awesome! I would caution using this for wheelchair access or a person with disabilities due to the very difficult to make and access east west bed…But, if you have nothing to haul, then that recently reviewed mini lite 2109 next to this camper is 10 times more comfortable and livable with it’s fiberglass siding, comfortable sofa, walk around bed, porcelain toilet, TV, 3 burner stove with oven, better storage, dual propane tanks, power tongue jack, 190 watt solar package, etc👍👍👍
Bunk mattress is great for a dog bed. Totes, maybe fishing poles, ski or snow shoes could go up there for storage.
Solid Call
@@JoshtheRVNerd it's perfect for someone who maybe climbs too. Slide a paddle board or 2 in there. I use to snowboard, ski and occasionally still fish. It's not so big you can not keep it warm, not so small you can't have some adventures exploring Utah, Colorado or Arizona.
Josh I would ask Cherokee to have a hide a bunk option, leave the kiddo bunk above the bed for storage and yes! Could that panel below the cooktop be removed and a drawer added?
Also I was wanting to know if you could give me the length from the passenger side chair to the fire extinguisher? I’m planning on buying one of these for hunting and installing a after market bunk bed on the camp side window wall
Thanks bud for the great work and please keep going love the channel brother! 4:12
Put the bunk mattress on the dinette when it is in bed mode for more cushioning. That "bunk" shelf is a good place to store the dinette cushions when the dinette seats are folded up.
I would prefer a few inches of counter between the stovetop and the cabinet wall to the side. It allows wider pans on the stove.
Square or rectangular sinks are easier to wash pans in instead of a round sink.
A couple could sleep in the queen bed, one kid on the dinette bed, and a twin-size air mattress could fit on the floor for a second kid.
Toy haulers give a LOT of flexibility inside for varying uses. If they had one of these available down here it would have been in the top three on my shopping list. Just the sort of flexibility I want in the size I am looking for!
Thx for watching, Anne :)
On my bucket list is the Burning man spectical in the desert
I liked it. Considering put motorcycle and Patio.
That shelf mattress could go on top of the rear dinette fold-down for more cushioning. Or throw it on the floor for an extra sleeping space or dog bed.
Put cabinets where the bunk bed is, then put a folding bed in the cargo area for the kids.
I'll be buying this one this year. My Nissan Frontier Pro4x can tow this easily.
Nice pairing!
Like the floor plan but as a single camper, I like the deck but a little more luxury would be appreciated.
Two options:
→ Black Label: ruclips.net/video/Cj0wwfWbY80/видео.html
→ Rockwood: bit.ly/3CezHNC
I agree that they should get rid of the shelf-bunk and they should also upgrade the screen door to the heavy duty magnetic screen with zipper.
I like those magnet screens as well. I feel they’re easier to get out of the way when you don’t want them there
lol at your face in the shower! love this little trailer!
Lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Use that bunk mattress to add more cushion on the benches for a bed!!
Could work
Give me a small slide out, 1 more axle and turn the bed into bunk beds and it’s the perfect camper IMO! Oh and change the exterior to that light brown keystone cougar type exterior 😍
A front kitchen one of these would be ideal. A platform bed in rear that lifts for SXS but can be used in travel if it has dirbikes or quad inside
I don’t think you would want to deal with a Murphy type bed in the rear where the garage is. Kind of defeats the purpose of accessibility. I actually took out the jump seats and table out to have more floor space for my toys.
Josh is awesome
Ty!
The mattress is for the dinette bed . The shelf is just storage 😂
Sounds backwards doesn’t it?
Purchased the 18rjb recently mainly for motorcycle track days, perfect for a family of 3. We were considering the intech toy hauler but the misses wanted a bathroom. My 12 yr old had no problems sleeping in the dining area once we made it into a sleeping space. If you purchase the first thing is change out the short queen mattress its garbage. I'm 6ft tall and took a shower with no problems. Using the toilet is very tight with the door closed. If they would of rotated the toilet to face the shower you would have more room. Fridge is HUGE! lots of space. The party patio is amazing, rare to find with a TH this size. great if you have dogs. Mine did not come with the optional screen wall (highly recommend getting) I cant seem to find one online anywhere. The top bunk is a joke, nobody is sleeping up there. It is awesome for storage space though...plenty of room. All in all we love our lil toy hauler. It only being 7ft wide is awesome especially if towing with a smaller vehicle. I own a 21' Tacoma and it pulls with no problem. Connecting to the rear view camera via phone app is a pain. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. The USB port on the stereo wont play music off a usb drive, i think its mainly to charge your phone. Anyways if you're looking for a small Toy hauler this is it. Any questions go ahead and ask, ill try my best to answer.
Yeah stereo USB is charge only. Great feedback here. Ty
@@JoshtheRVNerd do you know where I can purchase the screen wall?
Can you tell me how wide that upper ‘bunk’ is?
@@reneerobertie3266 about 30" wide
I like this a lot. I like to stock up from Costco or Sam's so I'd have lots of room to store it. I would probably take that tiny upper mattress and put it against the wall, on the bed, for insulation on cold winter nights (it's better than it hanging above). That toilet stool is just wrong! The majority of people are right handed so put it that close to the shower tub and both people have plenty of arm space. Great video; thanks for posting.
Your screen name has me curious -- what's the story there?!
@@JoshtheRVNerd I grew up a cowboy on a 32,000 acre ranch on an Indian Reservation (I'm Native American on both sides). After HS, I went on to do other things. I was always a rock hound so at 31, I finished a Geology degree and did that (Scientist) until I retired. So, then I started going by Cowboy Geologist.
I have one of these and love it. And I did exactly as you stated about the bunk mattress against the wall in the bed area. I store bins up there on the bunk for linens and dirty laundry etc.
Great little unit. Would love to see a rear drop down "bunk" like in the big toy hauler and a rear awning. And get rid of the front "bunk and give us some cabinets
Front cabinets at the least seem appropriate
THIS IS AWESOME
You got me big smilin' over here :)
I really like the layout, especially the patio/ramp. I wonder how hard would it be to get a awning of some kind for it?
Dog shows for the win! The table would work great for grooming the dog too. One thing that would be nice to mention is the weight rating on the benches that go with the fold-up table. Also what size tv would you put in?
What kind of dogs? We had a few over the years but a Bernese Mountain Dog was our most successful. Beautiful animal those
@@JoshtheRVNerd I have 3 Pembroke Welsh Corgis, boys are 13 and 6 and the girl is 9 months. Both boys are retired Champions and the girl is aspiring to be one. If we didn't love our 2205s this would be perfect.
I've got some ideas to help make this a better design. 1. Get rid of the top bunk and make it a strorage cabinet. 2. Make the trailer eight to twelve inches longer and use it to make the seats and the table longer. This will give you a larger back bunk. 3. BRAIN STORM: I've seen toy haulers with a rear drop down bunk. Put one in the back above the seats and table. This will give you bunk beds. I can suggest a tall awning to go over the rear patio. That takes care of the rain but you still have the pesky bug problem. The bugs will always win. Do me a favor Josh, pass on all of the great ideas in the comments to Cherokee. Even without my ideas, I still like this RV.
Thx Ray
Oww crap the bathroom!
That was a shitty joke! My kind of humor 🤣.
I'm looking for one thats got at least 82" clearance on my Honda 700....but it looks like its like my jayco 236th....all that extra kitchen and cabinets that deter one from getting his 115" buggy up in there.However,you could get those lil battery cars that kids like in there.Need to know how much open space is from rear to first "in the way" kitchen stuff!
Oh my Josh, getting closer to what I'd be interested in. However, with no toy I'd have to make to many notifications 😖
Guess this would work for a fishing or hunting trip ☺
Keep em' comin & I'll keep watching!
What are you seeking? Perhaps I have something recorded that might work or get closer
@@JoshtheRVNerd Are you sure you want to know Josh? 😂😂😂 Ok, here goes: 33' or less TT/TH (that won't need a semi to pull)☺
Would really REALLY like:
💟⭐the porch w/doors (side or back; one of each would probably be pushing it but the 🐱 & 🐕 would love it ☺)
💟⭐Residential stove/oven!
⭐💟 Pantry space
✴No microwave (space to put the EL 360 especially if it's a small stove!)
⭐💟 Did i say pantry space
⭐💟Outdoor kitchen OR with a connect under an awning w/storage (to fit my 'large' 30+ yr old the Coleman kitchen ; stores approx 3'×22"x4" (L W H) when collapsed for storage)
💟 Carpetless (easier for my walker or wheel chair)
💟 footy frier would be 👍
⭐ 💟table & chairs
⭐✴ washer/dryer IN bathroom (OR with a bathroom closet that could be modified. i actually have a lil washer that would fit in a 18"x18" with space to spare. Sadly its a bottom drain leaste it has a pump!)
Wouldn't need a sofa bed or couch - just space for a rocker recliner (or two or chair/ottamon. Accessible storage is allllways👍👍👍)
❇A slide is fine as long as:
✴ camp side window &
✴ has travel access to kitchen/bath & bed.
✴No speaker or tv outside.
⭐ Generator
❇ solar package (could deal with ready to install - forget what you called that)
I love boondocking (not into RV glamp resorts). Like the ability to be on the move.
(I've given up on my 5th wheel & RVs being recovered.)
I've seen a couple made by different manufacturers... Just need to combine them! (Think it is the Forest River TH & the Azdell)
Thanks Josh.
@@hshalom9113 yeah I think you're thinking is right. You need to frankencamper a few things together lol
@@JoshtheRVNerd Never know! Someone might just come up with something close! Reading others comments several said they'd like several of the things i mentioned!
Know where i could fond some basic templets of TT stuff. I could play around and design one. Have time and graph paper i been playing with already! Drafting a tiny home is simpler, but i want it to roll! LOL
This guy is awesome
wow.. ty :)
Josh , you have the most informative rv videos. I have an 18rjb and would love to get that patio kit. Do you have a part number?
I do not but our team at 800-256-5196 in parts should be able to assist you
This is a good video. Nice camper, I like the bunk but make a plywood slide out like the 1960s. Then use one of those dbl bunk mattresses that fold over. Last I would like to see this with a little wider dinette and over head bunk. This size is perfect not criticizing the camper but this could be more practical and better. Good, but could be great! Thank you Josh. Nice job!
I've had similar thoughts. One of those fold-down convertible cabinets would work too
I want one !!!!!
I agree with you Josh take out the mattress and use that as a shelf
👍🏻
Cool trailer but the bathroom is not fluffy friendly however, it offers enough in other areas to make up for it.
Would be a killer with small happy Jack's in the rear.
I could see tossing a couple little kids on the "bunk", not big kids. Nice having the option in that area.
Man I'm not sure many living camping creatures beyond a cat or occasional bird would work up there lol
I sometimes get accused of being too positive about everything. I think this comment is a good example that I am not, in fact, happy with EVERYTHING I see
Where do I find a rear screen for the 18 RJB? Mine did not come one and I’m having a hard time finding one in this small size? Thanks for input!
Screen room for the whole patio? I’m not aware of one made for it
Dear Rockwood product manager:
Look at this.
Now look at your competing product.
Now slap yourself.
Repeat until you add a ramp patio to your product.
Hahahaha
This is what im looking for just to haul my Triumph T120...I think my Nissan frontier can pull this
This unit has me reconsidering toy haulers. A small one would be nice but I also prefer dual axles. Small dual axle travel trailer toy hauler with a slide for recliner - hmmm.
A view of the roof would have been nice also as I always like to figure out how many additional solar panels I could put up there. Boondocking is my thing.
Try this one for tandem axles ruclips.net/video/yuza35WBz9c/видео.html
@@JoshtheRVNerd Impressive that you keep your videos organized so you can easily find them. Yes, the tandem axle is great, with a decent price AND some serious cargo capacity.
What SUV’s would you say can tow this? I understand they have to have the correct tow package and stuff but I’d at least have an idea on where to start looking
Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Nissan Pathfinder, and several others.
Keep in mind many of those vehicles have optional towing packages. You'll basically want the tow package version of any of those.
@@JoshtheRVNerd thanks for the info
Oh wow. My Jeep Grand Cherokee could pull that!
Just got me a 23 Colorado and looking for something small. Rn I'm debating between this and one like it with a slide but no toy hauler.
Our folks are happy to show you around a few options you can see in person!
That's a nice unit but the sink and fridge should have been where that large window is that the right allowing two bikes or a small UTV to fit with that hauling capacity.
woof woof, meow.
I wonder how many people load a heavy bike behind the axle & get lots of sway?
I appreciate the dimensions in the floor plan pic. My quad would fit in there!
Will this fit a cruiser motorcycle and a can am ryker (backed in)?
I THINK so but I don’t know for certain
Is there a weight rating on the patio deck? can I back the 858lb quad out onto it when it is raised? (for what reason i have no idea...lol)
3,000lbs loading
1500 as deck
Josh is a single axle toy hauler dangerous when pulling a big cruiser motorcycle. The wolf pup seems perfect for my needs but others have said to get a double axle. I have f150 so this wt is ideal. Any similar rvs with low wt and double axles?
This is the closest I’ve seen m.ruclips.net/video/1w6pCO2I5OY/видео.html
Josh great vids. Here's a question on my limited options and what do you think is my best option. I have a 2019 Toyota 2WD with a 3.5L V-6.Option one is the Wolf Pup 18RJB, but do you think I can get away with a Forest River 210RT or a 260RT? I don't want to burn the truck out, but future plans is to get a larger truck and by the way I have 4 large German Shepherds and I'm needing toy hauler with a deck and railing set up like these Forest River units. What do you say is best for us?
Sorry - can you give me specs on the vehicle please?
@@JoshtheRVNerd Toyota Tacoma, V6 3.5L, 2 wheel drive automatic and has a 5 foot bed. They rate the thing to have a tow max of 6,800 lbs, but as a mechanic.....there's no way and I don't want to run the truck into the ground. I'm looking for a toy hauler like the Forest River 210RT or Grey Wolf 18RR or something that is light with deck and same deck rail system to keep dogs contained. Yeah four German Shepherds....Thank you so much for you help and reply!!!
@@juancam648 So the max weight with fully loaded cargo is nicely below that max tow rating by over 1,000lbs. So that makes me feel good.
Obviously for something like towing through MOUNTAINS the truck is going to be burning its candle at both ends when you lose horsepower in the thinner elevated air.
Double check your payload vs. this one's hitch weight for sure
On paper for "modest terrain" it seems a solid pairing
This trailer is okay for it’s purpose. As long as your hauling something then it may be the trailer for you. Sorry, this one is not my cup of tea.I don’t like east to west beds, but I understand why that was done to keep the size and weight down.
All fair! Ty Jim
I chose an 18rr over this. Wanted a real sink in the bathroom and the pantry is a bonus.
The extra space in that one really helps those areas
0:11 they lost me at only 26 gallon fresh water tank❗️😔
1:18 & the round kitchen sink‼️😞
… other than that, the blank canvass in a small package is nice 👍🏽
I'm honestly not in the market for a toy hauler, but I will chime in on that weird "bunk". No human could sleep there, so why a mattress? Thank you for the video!
Obviously I am not arguing lol
I think the manufacturer could make that so-called upper bunk flip up somehow to make it bigger and to make it more buddy camper friendly.
That's actually a VERY classis old school thing RVs like this used to do.
Whats old is new again.
@@sparkyshark1297 isn't that always how it goes?
Just realized the cooker-hooker should be near the patio deck so you can BBQ on the deck or make breakfast! How cool would that be!?😉
..that would be crazy cool
for me this would be about perfect, agree on shelf above bed, that is a shelf, maybe put up a net and done there, more solar and batteries always, they could have 6 lithium batteries and 1000 watts of solar and i would say why not 1500?..1000 watt inverter? why not 3000? i may want to put a drill press in there lol (actually ordered a shop build van to do window work on car once, dude had a drill press, and all kinds of other shop tools in the van, made the part he needed on the spot, sweet setup, showed me all around), tv mount on swing arm off the wall there, put in a single house recliner with back to dinette facing tv on swing arm which you can move around or take out as needed (many recliners come apart in 2 pieces, could just toss it on the bed when in way) looks like enough room for average golf cart maybe, definately a single quad or 3 wheeler or jet ski, with maybe a dirt bike in front if pack it full, which for someone like me, chances are would only have one of those anyway, not 2 or 4 of them, or anything bigger by much, outside tv and speaker placement perfect, tv between speakers, all in middle of awning, can watch star wars in a thunder storm, still have good sound and stay dry, ... favorite thing about any toy hauler model for me is fact that can double as a standard cargo trailer, i do tend to move every few years for some reason or another, usually work, always have since a kid. ... bathroom, good enough, that wall you against will hold you up if you pass out drunk on the can! ..... this is probably the trailer i would actually buy after watching many videos if had the money, and a truck to tow it with, may get back to you when i eventually find a truck i can get first, car wont do it, but cant get rid of car because need that for current line of work. .. for my price range and needs that i would want in that price range, this is about it, no point in looking at much else.... if i was able to get THE one for my price range... not just the one i can afford and happen to find like happens with many things. the cargo and versatility aspect while being a camper you could nearly live in at same time.... for those of us on the lower income ends lol.... i would call this a portable man cave, can do anything you want in there, anything from cargo trailer to toys to making a mobile gaming center if wanted to (seen that done too), mobile work shop as van dude above had his van built in to, office, whatever.
How does the steps fold up?? Also does the ramp have assistance to pull down and put up for a handicap person??
Steps just rotate up into the RV's door and lock in place.
Ramp is not lift assisted
@@JoshtheRVNerd can it be added??
@@janeschmidtke9739 Not from the factory. Only built as shown. We might be able to come up with a solution for you but I'd have to relay you to a parts team since it's custom work
Would this fit a snowmobile?
Rear awning please
Would be perfect if it had tandem axels and another 500 lbs of cargo capacity
Take a look at this one ruclips.net/video/yuza35WBz9c/видео.html
What you're describing is kinda what that one does
I have this camper. That overhead buck is not a buck. It’s storage only.
