Wow, this has to be one of the biggest campers I've seen in a long time. Definitely what I'd call a "Park" Model, and it'd be a lot easier to live full time in it. I'd probably have to have it professionally moved by a trucking company. With that long length, high dry weight and high tongue weight, I hope only serious camper haulers try to move it, with a serious dually pickup. I've been pulling towables for 20+ years and I'd find this a challenge to move. I can't believe it's only on two axles. I'd have expected three axles. I'm always fascinated by two story trailers, since there so few of them.
Too many things I love about this camper, but here're the top ones: big open floor plan in living room (which includes the tall ceiling, ceiling fan, kitchen, etc.). I'll combo the giant bathroom, and the nice bedroom layout. I love the 2nd floor, something just about impossible to pull off. That price is not high compared to say an entry level class A or C motor home. Don't like a few things, such as no convention oven, not sure how the roof AC in the 2nd floor bunk, can get cool air down to the master bedroom, and the carpet in a slide out, and/or carpet in the dining area. These are the areas folks spill food and I want an easy wipe up in those areas.
I did a quick check another website, and the cargo weight is sadly, only 1136 pounds. That's why I remarked it only had two axles. Three axles should bring that cargo weight up. When parked, you'd have to be very careful what you put inside it. Image having 4 full size adults, at 200 lbs each, that's 800 lbs, then throw in a few kids and you're near the maximum already. So there'd be nothing left over for all the other things that folks need. That cargo weight would turn me off completely of this model. I'd want it to have no holding tanks then. I'd do everything I could to increase the cargo weight.
I would also spend the extra $ and get roof ACs that can give me more than 15K BTUs. This camper has a lot of living space, and if you're in the south and you're in the direct sun, and it's summer, two 15K BTU unit's might not cut it. If this was on a semi-permanent camp site, with full service, I'd look at a heat pump. Definitely worth having a docking station with full roof over, to keep this camper cool.
Thank you for the review! We need to see all kinds of campers, so folks can see what's out there.
The kiddie “bedroom” platform can be used for storage
I also like the placement of the fridge. It gives you more counter space that way. I also like where they placed the pantry. It kind of separates the living room from the kitchen. And I prefer the double sink. I think you should pass along the fridge and pantry placements to Alliance for their 5th wheels. For those who aren't six feet tall, the bathroom is a good height. The area above the bathroom is great if you have pets that may not get along and want to give them their own spaces.
Matt you are the mascot of RV trailer's and 5 wheels of RV land we look up to and praise you and your perfect wife for making us feel like we should live and or trip travelling across the country and make us have good way buying too! Keep up the good work!
👍
Love the carpet. Makes mobile home feel warmer.
The 3 things I like about this destination trailer:
1. the loft that's over the bedroom
2. living room: spacious, high ceiling, ceiling fan, lots of big windows, three seat sofa with side tables on either side, theater seats with middle console that has side-by-side cup holders
3. the kitchen and combo with the amount of storage
The 3 things I don't like about this destination trailer:
1. carpet under the dinette and in the bedroom
2. ceiling height in the bathroom and combo that with the small loft above the bathroom: get rid of the loft and raise the ceiling in the bathroom
3. the door for the closet or a washer and dryer appears to only be able to open about halfway before it hits the bed
Two things I don't like the carpet in the bedroom and the table the design on the table I believe that dirt can build up in those little lines they have on it
The bed's in the way of opening the door to the closet in the bedroom, which is prepped for the washer/dryer. How is that going to work?
John Cariotto remove the door, I guess
@@brianrobertson8808 removing the door doesn't fix the issue. Can't get the unit in once the bed is installed, getting clothes in and out of the unit will be a pain, and any repairs or replacement would also be difficult. The pantry space would serve as a better placement for the unit. You could actually put an all-in-one unit there and still have some pantry area above it if you wanted to.
Sweet! I first discovered you guys when you covered a destination trailer. I’m thrilled to see you guys cover another one!
Great video as always! Since this is meant to be almost like a second home I'm looking at it a bit differently than I would a normal towable.
With that in mind, I feel like there are a few missed opportunities here... like I think it really needs a second washroom if it's going to support sleeping that many people, even a half small half bath would be a massive upgrade.
Second thing is more storage - the kitchen storage is fantastic, but if I'm using it as a lakehouse or something similar, I think it needs a bit more so I can pack less and just hop in the car and go knowing that I've got most of what I need there already. I'm thinking a row of cabinets over that back couch instead of that second window, or something similar would do the trick here.
Finally... since its a park it and leave it type thing, presumably on a prepared site of some sort - I'm thinking a patio would be a nice addition. Yeah, you could build your own patio off of it, but an option for a large deck fold-down deck that services both the sliding glass and bedroom doors would be a nice addition... you could even bill it as an added security feature - fold this up when you leave, throw a padlock on it, and no one can access the doors.
I love the energy felt in this video
Thank you for making this ! Looking to purchase to live in full time. This is perfect for my small family. Located in Oregon 🙌🏽👍🏽
I love you two!!
Three things I like:
It comes prepped for stackable washer/dryer
The Kitchen
How open the space is in this beauty
Three things I dislike:
I don't like carpets
The squeeze needed for the little loft
Limited space for storage underneath the trailer
Keep up the good work!!
This was a nicely decorated Destination Trailer from Forest River
Dislikes:
1) the loft over the bathroom is too short and open to the trailer, I would get rid of it. Maybe raise the height of the shower side of bathroom and have storage cabinets facing the stair side above the toilet area
2) it is good to have the closet prepped for stackable washer dryer but the door doesn't open all the way
3) Not a fan of having carpet in any RV or Trailer, I can always buy runners or rugs if I need to in different areas
4) even though this is a destination trailer, would be nice to have an outdoor shower or at least a water hook-up point near the entrance to hose off if needed
Love:
1) The layout in the kitchen area flowed well and everything seems easy to reach
2) The bedroom seems mostly open with plenty of storage and a good spot to place a TV if you want
3) Central Vacuum is easy to access, yet out of the way too
First of all love you both. Keep up the great work you are doing. Secondly are the floor vents for the heater. No trailer should have them. They stub toes, catch crumbs, pet hair. They get scratched and ugly over time and hold bacteria until professionally cleaned. Not only that but they place them directly in front of the fold out couch,. Thus on a cold night with the heater running the heat goes directly into the bed burning the occupants. Third ,, the carpet has to go.. You are so right about the room above the bath. Thanks So Much!
I like the kitchen, BIG windows, and the 2nd floor. I don't like the carpet, the loft above the bathroom, and the bathroom height. Forest river, you should add a solar panel for backup in power outages.
Hi Matt and Andrea! Great review! Well one of my dislikes is the positioning of the refrigerator you can’t get the left side door open very far, no good. Next I don’t like the smaller loft above the bathroom. Half of that could’ve been left open just for storage and then the other half open so that the the shower could be higher. Third dislike there is no art deco! Now the likes the size of the furniture is big and comfortable. The height of the ceiling and the ceiling fans is great. And last like the front bedroom is really nice. Thanks again you two!
Andrew Steele mentioned you also. He was climbing a ladder and said " I'm not going all the way up I'm not Matt" well.... pretty sure he was talking about you.
Andrew Steele has mentioned Matt several times like that. It is cool to hear different RUclipsrs plugging each other
This is definitely now for us, but still a nice unit.
Likes:
Kitchen and fridge size
Nice living room with ceiling fan
Large windows
Dislikes:
All this carpet - would be a dealbreaker if I was looking for such a type of unit
Bedroom looks cramped, hard to open the door to the washer/dryer closet
Small loft is nearly not usable - a higher ceiling with vent in the bathroom would have been bettter
Can't open the door to the washer/dryer closet all the way without hitting the bed? Seems like really a poor design decision.
Andrea loves flowers she's always in floral print lol hi guys great video that thing is huge 👍🏾
As always, this is a great video. As for dislikes/likes:
Dislikes:
1) Not a fan of lofts. I'm sure that they're great for those with kids, but I would just use them for storage, so that AC wouldn't be really useful.
2) All the windows in the bedroom. I like the light, but i prefer my privacy.
3) I guess the carpeting. It helps with keeping the place a little warmer in the winter, but it is harder to keep clean.
Likes:
1)All the windows in the living area! Makes it very welcoming and open-feeling!
2) The kitchen is great! I'm a cook, so I like the counter space and the range works so well.
3) The stackable washer/dryer prep. I like that it's prepped without making you pay for it up front.
Like I said, a great video as you always make. Glad that y'all are now able to go all over the place to look at rigs wherever they might be.
Second upstairs bedroom looks like a jail cell for your problem child. Great time-out space
Just don't give them a tin cup to rattle on the bars, lol
🤣😂🤣😂
A peter for peter( Peter dell prison cell )
3 dislikes
1) No dishwasher, for a park it and leave it, a dishwasher is a must
2) The smaller bunk loft is not needed. That space should be used for the bathroom height and a small locker area.
3) Needs and on-demand water heater
3 Likes
1) Spacious cabinet space
2) Big bathroom
3) Fireplace.
I love the bedroom. Decor/storage/stackable, like the kitchen, like the bathroom vanity. Love the patterned storage windows.
I dislike that the fridge can’t open all the way.
I didn't think about the fridge not opening all the way but you're right! I was too busy wondering why they put a door in front of the washer dryer area that only opens a very small amount. A pocket door would have made more sense. Or something! 🤣
I love your reviews so much! I'm going to be getting one in the next year, and your videos are so helpful. My Dad was from Wewoka, OK. So I'll be seeing you soon. This house is too big for just me.
Nice rv when Matt & Andrea have a hard time naming the "third" thing they dislike.
I like the the living room
I like kitchen storage cabinet
I love the bathroom.
I love the farmer look table.
I don't like the bed over the bathroom. Maybe it could used it for storage.
I wish the dining room table not be attached to the wall.
This unit get
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks guys.
👍 Totally agree Matt! They should take out that bunk over the bathroom because there are a lot of tall people out here❣️ Andrea I 2nd the carpet...please take that out ASAP. Other than that it is beautiful❣️
Matt does this have a fan for the bathroom? Just a thought with how things were placed and I was unable to see any in the video. Some people need an exhaust fan for when they shower and .... 😏
Dislikes: grooved tabletop; slides on a destination trailer; carpeting; only one bathroom in this big thing?!!! Likes: spacious layout and big kitchen; sliding glass door and windows; spacious loft; stackable W/D prep.
OK guys! Great review!
Likes about the DT...everything? except, loft over the bath which would make difficult showering for me...need tall! Price..for what you get... not bad! would want a gas quick connect so I could cook outside.
This is meant to be a permanent vacation home sited on a lot. So that could easily be done when the unit is installed on the lot for the permanent gas connection to the home.
wow..................huge! great destination trailer..........
This kitchen is bigger than my own kitchen
I wish manufacturers would put grab bars in the showers and bathroom for the convenience of us oldsters.
Loves: The high ceiling in living area; the counter space; the bedroom storage. Dislikes: Top of stairs landing looks dangerous when coming out of the loft, needs to be larger landing; burners of the stove need to be farther apart and farther from the wall so that you can use larger pans; tallest windows need some type of window covering so you can darken the room
i watch these cuz they look badass then i remember im poor lol
Wow! Great seasonal park unit. So much space. Not a fan of carpet in a motorhome at all. The couches look nice and comfy.
Wowzers!!!!!!
Great review! I really enjoyed seeing a destination trailer 😊 likes sliding glass doors, decor, washer/dryer, and windows!
Dislikes The Carpet! The outdated tin can look of the stainless steel refridge, don't like the theater chairs next to the dinning room chairs prefer tv/fireplace there instead and the theater chairs where the tv/fireplace is at (a switch if you will).
I love it.....the 2 lofts...love carpet in bedroom....a sofa not loveseat.....can't think of a dislike...would prefer a dinette.
I would just use that smaller sleep area for storage. The herring bone floor pattern rocks. Just wish they would have continued it throughout the whole trailer instead of incorporating the hideous carpet. You could use it like a travel trailer but you would have to put padded covering over the front for hauling, and you would definitely only wanna travel with it if you were gonna be setting up shop somewhere for 2 or 3 months or longer. Personally, I would use it as a stationary live in since I'm a single dude. I love that you can get these things for 40 or 50 thousand dollars after MSRP. That is cheap for something that nice. I would definitely customize one with better windows and not those cheap RV windows as well as better quality exterior doors. And no carpeting.
You both are awesome!! I love the looks (windows) of destination trailers wish that they could travel more. The only thing I didn't like about this one is there isn't enough hanging closets for clothes
I love everything about it except for the lofts and the carpet. Put stackable washer/dryer where staircase is located.
Hey guys. If I’m parking it, there needs to be a dishwasher. Safe travels!
Awesome place! Thanks for showing the homes!
I don't care for the shorter bed area open to living room, don't like steps in master bedroom, the patio doors facing a wall seems wasted.
I like the refrigerator, kitchen cabinets, and double sitting area and fireplace.
Really like the central vac!
I really like this unit, but I don't like the range top in corner. Pots and pans have handles that may limit your available burners. Did I mention it appears awkward for a right handed person.
Sorry, can't believe you didn't mention the washer drier closet. The door only opened about 6". How is that usable. Loved the rest.
Matt putting the weight back on
I'd be interested in something like this instead of a tiny house, but it would have to have a King bed. Also don't like how the fridge opens into the wall on the left. Big huge living space and bathroom.
I think the dining room table is distressed. Three things I didn’t like .... the height of the shower, the carpet, and the bathroom door-I think it needed to be a pocket door. Three things I liked were...the windows that it had, the ceiling fan in the living area and the area for a washer/dryer.
I’d like to see a window in the bathroom, maybe over the shower? I think in time the humidity from the shower will eat away at the walls!
I want one!!! Love ❤️ it
Oh, by the way. The smaller loft area is for younger children (ex. 1-5 year olds), hence the bars for safety. And there are curtains for privacy and to keep the light out
Hi Guy’s great Job! Just a thought. You know the MAP price is Manufactures Advertised Price. So Will General go under MAP pricing?
Here are some dislikes:
The light fixture above the table looks really odd, and I don't like the texture of the dining table. Do not like the unusual looking sculpted "art" at the ends of the beam on the ceiling. They look like upside down plastic magazine/file holders. Also don't like the open space below the bathroom vanity. With only one bathroom, a cabinet with doors is needed to hide cleaning supplies, hairdryer, and other bathroom stuff.
Very cool. Now we just need lakeside property.
The door to the washer dryer closet doesn't fully open due to mattress being in the way. If they would turn closet and put door as your entering bedroom it would be more practical.
Likes: the high ceilings, nice master bedroom area, central vac ( i have 2 dogs and a cat.)
Dislikes: Carpet, felt the shower was a bit snug considering the overall size of the unit, I'll say it again carpet... I really dislike carpet.
Im surprised that you didn't mention that it looked like the door to the stackable washer/dryer closet hit the bed and didn't open fully. How do you get the units into the closet and then open the doors on the units once they are in the closet. Also surprised it wasn't one of your dislikes.
Please do a review on the grand design Solitude 5th wheel 3950bh
This gives me some ideas! To me, it's just disappointing that there's no more closet space, the loft is very short. I do love the kitchen, the fridge is great as is the oven and cooktop. Great storage in there too. Love that great big TV and the fireplace, the theater seats, dinette and the couch. Thanks again guys for such a great video! Love to watch them all!
The door to the washer dryer closet should be a barn door since you can't open it all the way
It's totally spacious, I'd use that little room upstairs for storage ...very nice, great review as always guy's..
Washer dryer- does the door open all the way? Or is the bed in the way?
Call ceilings cost more to heat and cool with the increase amount of cubic your feet
Thank you for another great review! Matt and Andrea showing us the good and bad. The back half or from the kitchen to the lining room was great. Something has to be reworked with the sleeping area. I understand trying to provide as much sleeping space in a destination trailer, buuuutttt... Pretty neat for what it is, but I don't think I'd consider it even for the non- paying inhabitants! Have a great evening.
I really like the bed with slats. That be my spot !
Likes 1. All the windows
2. I like the table better than a booth
3. Kitchen is awesome
Dislikes 1. Shower - to short
2. Carpet in bedroom
3. The open loft area
I noticed that there was a curtain that went around the small upper loft.
Privacy curtain
Is the plug for power on the the same side as the sliding glass doors? It would make more sense to have it on the other side so you could put the sliding glass doors facing away from your power source.
I dislike that I don’t own a slice of property to put that on for my tiny home
We love traveling Robert he is awesome
Good video. Dislikes : Set up in bedroom and the door to the washer and dryer. The bunk on top of bathroom is useless,and hate carpet in the RV. Likes living room, kitchen, bathroom
"What Say You"?? Do I detect a slight reference to LOTR?? I would rather have a cabin style or stick and bricks look destination trailer/park model.. perhaps you and Andrea could do a tour of one of those types as well??? Maybe not?? Have a blessed day!!!
🤣 yes
Matt and Andrea is the table Art Deco
Good afternoon
Love the big LR and K. So much storage and space. You won’t feel closed in with this rig.
Love the slider and the windows everywhere
Love the upstairs lofts for the 10 grand kids. They will have so much fun. Sleeper overs at Nannie’s house!!
The lights under the cabinets are great particularly if you have to get up during night.
Questionable
Wish it had a second bathroom or at least a half bath.
I might have missed it but was there a second air conditioner in the bedroom and what about the heat up in the loft?
The bathroom needs to have a done or higher ceiling in the shower area. It is roomy for someone under 6’. Not sure that the ceiling in there would last long with steam and damp.
.
Sweet Destination trailer! Great if you have a seasonal site and lots of space for the family.
I don't typically watch the towables, more interested in class C & B+ models. But the 2 story on this intrigued me. It's beautiful! Especially the living room.
Just out of curiosity, . could you have one of these delivered or put in a mobile home park?
- on the carpet. Tile or wood look floors are the way to go.
likes 1-windows everywhere 2-bathroom 3-sliding glass door. dislikes 1-the door to the laundry area hits the bed so doesnt open properly. 2-the shorter loft bed area. makes no sense. 3-carpet.
Don’t like the second floor on the living room side. Don’t like the corner brackets on the ceiling beam. That’s about it. Everything else is pretty nice. Love , love ,love the two of you!
Way out of my range...but I can only imagine that if I was able to...I would not be satisfied with Westinghouse TV....I would want a Sony or Samsung for that price. It is beautiful though.
I also didn't like the smaller loft over the bathroom
Soooo, yeah, the triangle accents for the beams and glass in the cabinet doors... that's the same pattern as the carpet in The Shining...😱
Dislikes: opposite of your like, I don’t like the refrigerator placement because the left door is restricted from opening wide. Agree the lofts are too low. I think it would feel,like you are in an MRI. the loft that has the open rails I would think might be dangerous for little kids to get their heads stuck in between the rails. If the lofts were for storage then that space is huge for that.
Likes: love the open spaces, the large windows, the sliding glass door. Love the bedroom windows, counter and storage.
I do not understand these even for kids claustrophobic bunks. Why do they not put some kind of vertical slideout there, even if this was manual put up for a destination trailer, then you really could use the so called 2nd floor. And the door to the washer/dryer is a bad solution, do you have to unscrew it to install them?
My 2 dislikes are small bunk over bathroom and the door to the washer and dryer closet doesn't open all the way. How are you supposed to get clothes in and out of there? Likes, everything else!
How do you open the door where the washer and dryer are set up? Looks like it cannot be opened up far enuf? It hits the bed....
Like the living room and the bathroom and I would agree with doing away with the space that over looks the livingroom...
What is GVWR and carrying capacity?
For the price point of this destination rig, it's hard to be mad at anything. Great price for people who want a 2nd home. Two reasons I would hesitate on purchasing this RV: the loft above the kitchen, and the bathroom. Loft space would end up being storage space. This RV is meant for multiple people to enjoy and the bathroom would not work for a family or guests. It needs a 1/2 bath. Minor considerations:
*Windows do not have daytime shades. C'mon Forest River, really? Installing after-market shades would be costly and could possibly damage the windows. Surprised Matt or Andrea didn't mention.
*Location of stackable w/d is awkward and not easily accessible because of the bed. Will make doing laundry more of a hassle.
*Carpet in the bedroom? Why?? That would be the first thing an owner would have to replace especially if the outside door is going to be used consistently.
So, even though the price is great, a purchaser will have to spend some money to correct a few things Forest River should have included or re-thought.
The carpet needs to go. In the tight spots it would be hard to clean and in the larger areas it looks tacky. I would normally agree about the second loft but since this is made for permanent living I would use it instead of a storage shed. I really like this unit.
Just subscribed did not know until recently about "towables"!
A televator in the master bedroom would be nice, love the storage, central vac and stackable washer dryer area. Dislike the carpet and would like some better steps to go in and out of the trailer.
This is so huge. Can't imagine towing this to a "destination". Scary!
Dislikes: 1. Carpet!! Not a fan. I can understand the carpet on the stairs and in the loft, but not in the bedroom (or the slides). Major fail for me. 2. Head space in the lofts. I am okay with the cage area if it is for little kids, but any one over 3rd grade would be really uncomfortable up there. I see it being used for storage. Also, there was so much head space in the bedroom they could have dropped the ceiling some to allow people to sit up on the beds. 3. While I love that it is prepped for a washer dryer, the space for it looks cramped. You couldn't even open the door to that area without hitting the bed (imagine installing the washer and dryer, what a headache!).
Likes: 1. Living area is large enough for the whole family to sit and move around. 2. Overall kitchen design and storage in the kitchen. 3.Dining table instead of dinette (I do wish it had an extension on it-all those beds and only places for 4 to eat). 4. Bedroom has plenty of storage and has a real mattress of high quality.
Thanks guys, this one is nice but I hate that they don’t have a true bunk room.
Why does she say no all the time to the deco it is nice I love everything
Don’t like the carpet. Small bunk room. No nightstands
