You reviewed our trailer! We watched your videos while going through the process of buying our first trailer in January and you were so helpful! We fell in love with this trailer basically when walking through the door. We fold the bottom bunk up and put our pack n play underneath with a blackout curtain from the top bunk which gives our baby his own "room", love it! Only gripes and theyre manageable: Not enough power outlets! None in the bunk area, closest is the bathroom. Not great for sound machines and monitors, but there are usb outlets everywhere! Griddle is right in front of the fridge door which gets really hot. Hasnt melted it, but we dont plan to test it. You also cant get the bathroom door open when the slide is in, so no bathroom access while on the road. Biggest tv you can get is a 32 inch to not interfere with the door or cabinets. Can confirm the interior fridge doors work great!
Exactly, in fact, I wish that those were available to retro fit into something similar. My brother in law just got one that needs them and I'm sure that he would love to eliminate the top bunk for storage. Pat
Yes, RV space is worth its size in gold. Why they make decisions for the customer that “THIS ROOM” will be for kids only, a bunk room only. Let us make that decision!
That's the best cargo/bunk system I've seen outside of the Ember MSL e-track set-up. I believe Ember's design (with the side and rear cargo door access) is still the best, but this is SO MUCH better than most models that have a rear door and only a hinged bottom bunk to allow for limited slide in cargo. I would like to see a screen door on this unit's rear cargo door so that you could leave the rear door open and get a thru breeze...but without an influx of bugs I also LOVE the fact that the CCC is 35% of the GVW. RV mfgs need to target minimum CCCs of 25%-35% of GVW in all travel trailers! In fact, it's one of the few things that Ember could do better, especially in their Overland Series.
I love that you can use just the BOTTOM bunk. That's great for adult guests if you put a nice mattress on it. Yes, they have to crawl into it, but not up to it with limited head space.
Love the hight like the layout love the versatility in the bunk area and the dinette only change I would like is where the bench is with overhead storage just go floor to ceiling with those cabinets
If you need to lock boxes into place so they don't shift at harbor freight they have the shower handle that suction cup to the wall will suck to the floor as well
Three things….. I agree that roadside access sucks. It needs theater seating instead of that dinette thing. The kitchen outside needs water 🤷♂️. Ember still has it beat in my opinion.
I would much prefer a residential sofa “option” for that uncomfortable “Denny’s” diner booth dinette for cold rainy days💥and that cheap plastic toilet and Dollar Store 4” fart fan will definitely take a beating in this family camper😂
The folding bunks would be perfect if we could folt the top bunk in half as a shelf. The fold down bottom bunk leaves an awesome dog house! Not liking the giant cavity; should be partitioned and should remove the boards that drop into the storage. Only partially pass through. As tight as that bedroom is I'd rather see it wide open with no wall (no grandkids for me, just pups). And that TV-less mount seems wishy washy. Either put a TV or put a cabinet... Pick a lane! 😁. But a good layout.
I wonder if they could build this without the bunks at all leave it as a garage/multi function space? It is big enough for bikes, a kennel, workout equipment (yoga mat, resistance bands, a couple kettle bells) or a office.
1) 😂😂😂 You goofed there goofball. Bo Duke did the slide across the Dodge Charger General Lee. Magnum P.I. drove a Ferrari not a Corvette 😂. 2) Be careful backing up, you don’t want to screw yourself up the backside. May not feel very pleasant 😂. 3) One thing that I’ve noticed with many manufacturers; they put the griddles in a spot next to the fridge that makes it a little dangerous getting into the fridge. Do they want you to slide your griddle with the food cooking away to safely access the fridge? Seems like a design flaw that they should address better somehow to me. 4). Nothing wrong with bad dad jokes. Later on you’ll get to have grandpa jokes. 5) Another great job Uncle Josh. 🤓
Do you know any other TT or 5th's (Under 30ft) that have a bunk room like this? I've viewed about 1000 floorplans and watched video after video trying to find bunk rooms with removeable bunks that allow for an office to be there instead without a major conversion. The only drawback on this one is the dinette instead of theater seating! No Murphy, Removeable Bunks, Theater Seating, Under 30ft seems to be a unicorn.
Apologies if you cannot see it on screen, then I would have to refer you to a local store team member to verify. I see too many RVs to remember little details sometimes
If they put a tv in from factory, its gonna add to the camper cost, so you're paying for it regardless. They'll also put in a 24" tv because its cheaper, and I'd want a 36", so I'm gonna have to buy a different one anyway. Thus an additional expense. I'd rather have the mounting done and let me but the tv I want. Just my opinion.
Thanks for another great video Josh. I love the bunk layout. This one comes close to checking all the boxes for me. Unfortunately I am one of your lovingly referred to "Slide Skeptics"
Sorry Josh there was no comment box on my phone for this one and it's happened on several others as well, so I found if I find a comment that I can add to then I can leave a comment and speaking of that I not a fan of bunk houses but o really love that both bunks raise up. And the counter eating area it nice not as happy with the dinette but I can live it since it moves outta the way. I wish the shower was a bit bigger and I could do with a smaller bed, king is too big for me to change sheets and flip every 6 months. I'd also like to see struts on the overhead cabnits. I don't like wide open underbed storage. I don't want dirty outside gear mixed with clothing and/or bedding under the bed.
The table confuses me and would have to go. Having a pole in the middle of a seat preventing you from sitting down down there seems like a seriously illogical idea. I'd like to hear the designers thought process for putting a pole in that specific location. I'd mount a slim profile big screen tv on the wall where the coat hangers and bench is. Run some bolts thru the wall with some support plates on the bedroom side and voila, nice easy to see tv. The bunkhouse config is top notch. That table mounting pole, I dunno, it makes no sense. Thanks for sharing the vid!
😎 They kinda missed something on the TV, I don’t mind at all that they gave us the option of buying any TV we want, I just wish they had put it ON a cabinet with storage behind it. I also love they didn’t put the TV in a box. TV’s die, ever tried to find a TV you WANT to fit a specific sized box? It is harder than you might think! ❤ The folding bunks‼️ 💙 The coat and shoe sitting bench by the door is awesome as well! Does this come in Azdel? 🥰
Another great RV. Love everything about this one. Love the bunk beds and the shower. Beautifull kitchen and bathroom. Josh keep up the great job that you do.
For our tandem bicycle lifestyle, this is by far, the best option I’ve seen yet - including toy haulers!!!! Lots of storage, which toy haulers don’t have. Lot’s of seating which toy haulers don’t have, the “mud room” seat is awesome, which toy haulers don’t have. This one could be the proverbial “straw” that broke my hotel loving “camel” back!
Wait.....THAT'S GOING TO BE FOREST RIVER'S NEW MEDIA BUILDING???? You're right, it doesn't mean anything to me... But This is a SUPER versatile floor plan!! Bench, breakfast bar, awesome rear storage! This is a terrific rig
Some nice stuff in this unit, but it doesn’t make me get very excited. The layout is just off putting for me. But I really like the four away/removable bunks in the back with the rear cargo door and floor rings. I prefer the Wildwood FSX 266BHLE you reviewed a couple of days ago much better overall. Take the rear bunk/door configuration and offer it as an option in the wildwood FSX 266BHLE and it becomes something really special.
I really like the fold-away bunks. I actually like the tv mount although I'd rather have more kitchen storage instead of space for a tv(very much a personal preference). I'm not excited about the lack of a propane oven and I wish road mode could be better. I suppose I could send The Husband through the cargo door to put groceries away in the Kroger parking lot though. The bedroom is the biggest deal breaker for me in this rig though. I don't think I could walk around that bed, The Husband and I don't need a king bed anyway... That over-the-bed storage is just decorative as far as I'm concerned. I'm 5'2" and even if I could reach that storage, without something to keep it open trying to use it would probably result in at least one broken finger. The only thing I do like in the bedroom is the cargo access door in the side stand, that would be a great place to put a laundry basket after setting up at the campsite.
Like it! Love the colors! My favorite part of this floor plan is the king bedroom. Love all of the huge windows. Love how big kitchen is for how small the rv is. The bath is nice as well. Wish it had black out Shad’s and a better toilet. Have a good day!
THE BUNKS.....BRAVO!!!! Would love a tub. Itd be nice if on these U shaped dinettes had a ottoman included for the space for movie night or for us with bad backs. YOU'RE THE BEST JOSH! Love to you & the family❤❤❤❤
@JoshtheRVNerd ABSOLUTELY Uncle Josh, your wife is one VERY lucky woman! 🥰 How did the "Nerd Bird" t-shirt fit? You should wear it when you are showcasing the RV's, I'd LOVE ❤️ 😍 to see you model it! You MUST look FABULOUS in it Uncle Josh 👍 Take care my friend, 👋 🤗
Finally someone listened, now do this to the no slide bunk units. 😍 that’s where it’s really gonna shine.
agreed!
This would be awesome with no slides and a cargo rack on the back for a smaller inverter generator for boondocking
Love this one. Great job Ozark!

wow I love feedback from real owners like this! THANK YOU for taking the time to share
Love the bunks. I wish all travel trailers did this with the bunks.
Exactly, in fact, I wish that those were available to retro fit into something similar. My brother in law just got one that needs them and I'm sure that he would love to eliminate the top bunk for storage.

I would make an office in that space
@@msmong123 - Me too! 🤓
Absolutely love the fold away bunks! I'm nearly at the end of needing a bunkhouse. This would allow an upgrade and then evolve into a couples coach.
that's what I love about these convertible designs. You save SO MUCH by not needing to get a whole new RV
You were great in this one. You amuse the heck out of me. Thank you for the info in your crazy funny way.
Well TY! Glad to hear
love the bunk system!
I do as well!
Awesome bunks! They all should do this! And go ahead and give us the full size cargo door so I can put in bigger stuff.
i know!
I agree my bikes don’t break down as easy as some. Bigger door would be better.

I 100% agree on the bunkargo setup!
I’m liking this floor plan a lot. I’d just add a small load lock to help with the load under the king bed
Smart
I love that you can use just the BOTTOM bunk. That's great for adult guests if you put a nice mattress on it. Yes, they have to crawl into it, but not up to it with limited head space.
I love flex functions like that
That bunk/storage area would make a great place for our dogs to hang out at night!!! Pretty nice trailer .
heck yes!
Just like the ladder mounts. They get it free and install it. Manufacture can now supply you with the correct mount for your TV.
👍🏻
I so wish they had done that pantry/shelving in the 2440bhk.
Right?
we're picking ours up on Friday and I wish I hadn't seen this one. Like they're exactly the same from the door back. Just why?? 😭
Not looking for a bunkhouse but that cargo door would be perfect for my disability scooter!
ooh I could see that
Love the hight like the layout love the versatility in the bunk area and the dinette only change I would like is where the bench is with overhead storage just go floor to ceiling with those cabinets
TY David
If you need to lock boxes into place so they don't shift at harbor freight they have the shower handle that suction cup to the wall will suck to the floor as well
ah good tip. ty
Love the colors and storage... but the hi/low counters in the kitchen would drive me nuts.
fair enough. ty
Three things….. I agree that roadside access sucks. It needs theater seating instead of that dinette thing. The kitchen outside needs water 🤷♂️. Ember still has it beat in my opinion.
Ty for sharing
Really nice camper. I am not completely sold on the dinette, I would love to have the option for a couch.
I get requests like that fairly frequently. i could see it
They need to stop calling them double bunks. It’s 36” wide.
Can I replace the dinette with recliners?
Not from the factory level as it turns out. Aftermarket you could do about whatever
turn the b around... that's a great one!!!
I would much prefer a residential sofa “option” for that uncomfortable “Denny’s” diner booth dinette for cold rainy days💥and that cheap plastic toilet and Dollar Store 4” fart fan will definitely take a beating in this family camper😂
The folding bunks would be perfect if we could folt the top bunk in half as a shelf. The fold down bottom bunk leaves an awesome dog house!

But a good layout.
I THINK you might be able to do that... I could be mistaken
I wonder if they could build this without the bunks at all leave it as a garage/multi function space? It is big enough for bikes, a kennel, workout equipment (yoga mat, resistance bands, a couple kettle bells) or a office.
No real factory swaptions offered on these but we could remove the bunks for you
1) 😂😂😂 You goofed there goofball. Bo Duke did the slide across the Dodge Charger General Lee. Magnum P.I. drove a Ferrari not a Corvette 😂.
2) Be careful backing up, you don’t want to screw yourself up the backside. May not feel very pleasant 😂.

Call me crazy... But could you remove the bedroom wall?
hmm... it MIGHT be possible. I don't think its structural
Do you know any other TT or 5th's (Under 30ft) that have a bunk room like this? I've viewed about 1000 floorplans and watched video after video trying to find bunk rooms with removeable bunks that allow for an office to be there instead without a major conversion.

I think there’s one but I cannot remember who makes it. Puma maybe?
Great bunk system. They should all do that. I think I would prefer theater seating rather than the dinette but we dont camp with kids anymore.
I know! I love the "go away bunks"
Omg Nerd I so enjoy watching your videos Not only are you informative and extremely knowledgeable But you are so funny Keep up the great work
I try! TY so much!
Does the bunk area have usb or power outlets?
Apologies if you cannot see it on screen, then I would have to refer you to a local store team member to verify. I see too many RVs to remember little details sometimes
Magnus drove a Ferrari.
You might be thinking of the Dukes of Hazzard...they slid across the hood of their Charher...still not a Corvette. 😂
IMHO, they shouldn't put a TV mount if they aren't putting a TV in. Appears to be forcing a separate purchase.
fair. TY
If they put a tv in from factory, its gonna add to the camper cost, so you're paying for it regardless.
They'll also put in a 24" tv because its cheaper, and I'd want a 36", so I'm gonna have to buy a different one anyway. Thus an additional expense.

Josh, RV Nerd underwear?! Really?
they weren't even my idea!
Just put laundry baskets under the bed storage area
👍🏻
Oh I love this!❤😮
☺☺☺
Looks like a good spot for folding electric bike would need outside storage door opening measurement for the bunks. maybe you should add that.
My lectric bikes could fit there for sure
