While I'm not a fan of bedrooms on a slide (no room to get around with the slide in), I like the front kitchen. This is the first front kitchen I've seen that actually maintains the front pass-through. Love that extra cubby on the door side as well.
I like this travel trailer it has a lot of space to store your belongings. Clothes and food. Love the kitchen space. Very nice coachmen. They did a nice job.
I always check out your reviews, looking for a good candidate for a single guy to possibly full-time in. This may not be that unit, but it is definitely a nice one.
You need to do an Alpha Wolf. I feel like they are very underrated. We have a 26RB-L, love it for a couples RV. Has a lot of the same features you always like, and the little touches like the nightstands and outlets and such.
I just bought a Rockwood Ultra Lite 2614BS. Much lighter and nicer. I'm having every option added including solar, 12v 11cf compressor refrigerator, dual air and theater seating. At 30ft with two slides its 7,000 lbs and has two doors. I negotiated the price down to 37% off MSRP.
I like the freedom express and apex line. But you're right, lights should've been LED and they need to drop those castlerocks. Had them on my apex nano and they were dry rotting and bulging only after 2 years.
I'm not sure about your love for LED lighting. My TT lost the 3 LED marker lights at the top of the rear panel. Well now I need to replace the center one again. I hope I can buy the same fixture again. With my luck in 10 years I may have 30 different light housings on my rig. Replacing the bulbs is so much easier for me.
The only thing I wish more floorplans had was more room in bedroom. My wife is clostraphobic and with the wall and bed space being so tight I am limited in the units I can look at.
Yup just took mine back to the dealer after one month of owning it Bad roof needs to be replaced All outside storage doors leaked wall damage Bed slide seal is only a single and the air comes right in Awning leaks where it’s attached to camper so bad you can’t open the door to enter the camper Good luck if you’re interested in this unit I hope you have better luck then we did
There are several half ton trucks in 2020 that can easily and safely tow that trailer as long as you have a correctly setup weight distribution hitch. Unless the manufacturer advises against towing with today’s much more capable half ton trucks I suspect you are costing the manufactures sales by saying you would recommend a 3/4 ton minimum? My 2019 ram 1500 tows 11500 pounds. I suggest you research new half tons . Also you you missed a big selling point and that’s it includes a griddle and large shelf that both mount on the track installed on the side of the trailer next to the outdoor kitchen. Shelf Top was in plain sight when you opened the large rear storage door. Griddle is in the box. It slides into the track. Should have been setup for the video in my opinion. Other than that it was a fantastic video as usual.
I wish he mentioned the grill that was in the cardboard box near outside kitchen, or the usb ports in the reading lights above the bed. A few of the things he wished it has were right in front of him.
What is it with the king size beds? Are people really all that big? Please, can't we have a queen option so there is room for the CPAP (LOTS of people use these, especially older people) and a glass of wine or cup of coffee?
Do you think I could tow a 30ft toy hauler with my 2006 ram 2500 big horn crew cab. I have the 5000 air lift system to help with sag and stabilize the ride. I currently have a 2008 eagle cap cab over and it handles the weight fine but was thinking of getting a trailer but am unsure if my truck can handle a toy hauler safely.
I currently have a Keystone Laredo 335MK and I’ve been looking to upgrade to a fifth wheel. I found the Forrest River Cedar Creek Hathaway 38FLX that I like. The floor plan is appealing to me. I would like to know your thoughts honest about it. Thank you.
You appear to be very pro LED exterior tail & marker lights. Why ? Why are so many new trailer eliminating rear bumpers ? admittedly they wont do much good in a fair sized rear end collision but sure a help from damaging the siding when backing into a camp spot ultra slow and you "find" an obstruction. Yes; I've done it and thankfully no damage....
Hi there, love the channel & just subscribed! I found you cause we bought the same Chaparral you had. You being very familiar with it, what are your thoughts on pulling it with a 3/4 Ton Diesel? (Close on pin weight) It is one of the lighter 5th wheels for its size.
Could be a good travel trailer for the right person, just not me. No usb or electric next to bed, no led lights and no hook up for back up camera. Azdel is a real plus though.
Your obsession with LED lights is becoming unwelcome. The manufacturer builds these in Indiana where there is more weather than down in Corpus Christi. They have snow, ice, rain. I have yet to have seen an adequate LED that can keep the elements off of it so drivers around me know I am there or I am braking. Liked your videos, but remember you are reaching out to people with different environments than what you live in and the engineers building them may have not found a compatible LED system that is safe for all environmental factors.
I really like this kitchen set up in the front. I feel like it does not interfere with the flow of the rest of the rest of the trailer.

Other than having absolutely no useable kitchen counter space, this is a nice compact travel trailer.
Like the new colors
Like the gray tones mixed with the light wood tones. Nice TT.
That's pretty cool!!!
Like this one.
I always check out your reviews, looking for a good candidate for a single guy to possibly full-time in. This may not be that unit, but it is definitely a nice one.
We love the freedom express line. 6’9” interior, priced right most places, something azdel something, decent looking.

I also noticed he doesn't do any of the alpha wolf or any of the wolf packs.
Pretty god looking rig with good interior height. LED lighting should be an industry standard.

Use a standard housing with replacement led insert bulb
@@rustedratchetgarage6788 ok thanks I'll look into it

Bad roof needs to be replaced
All outside storage doors leaked wall damage
Bed slide seal is only a single and the air comes right in
Awning leaks where it’s attached to camper so bad you can’t open the door to enter the camper
Good luck if you’re interested in this unit I hope you have better luck then we did
It baffles me why manufacturers wouldn't use LED lighting when possible.
I’m a trailer freak and I agree

Coachman is known for doing that U drawer under the kitchen sink for long time.

This is our next rv for my wife and I. What would you do to upgrade the suspension and tires?
Interesting trailer for couples. Did it have a sliding pocket door for the bedroom?
I believe it did, looked like it was tucked in beside the TV area and that tall skinny cabinet.
Nice

Nice layout...but it really bugs me when they don’t frame the top of the bathroom doors. I don’t know why, just seems cheap.

Did you really mean azdel will NEVER delaminate? I always figured it was delaminating due to adhesive failure, not due to the material of the skin.
?
Most of the time it's not adhesive failure. It's moisture swelling the substrate, pushing what ever is adhered to it away from the adhesive.
Those stabilizers don't look electronic to me.
So, at the outside sink you have to reach your arm under the faucet to turn on/off the hot water? Same thing on the kitchen faucet inside.
wut?
Not a fan. I thought it looked really cheap. The cabinets were really cheap as was the dinette cushions .

I live in an ultra light coachman express. This is not that. We have a lot of space. Looks like the tardis from doc who

What's the big deal about porcelain? Just because it feels ritzier? I'd rather have the weight savings of plastic.
Longevity, durability
Much easier to clean and better durability than plastic.
What an unbelievable FAIL not having power, of some sort, near either side of the bed. 🤣🤣🤣
