Flagstaff Microlite 25FKBS - Tour our camper! This week we finally air the tour of our new camper per your request. We feel that it is as close to perfect for us as any of the others and are excited to share it with you. With it's aluminum frame and double Azdel walls, it is lightweight and high quality. Something we forgot to mention in the video is that this also has a heated and enclosed underbelly, plus heated water tanks! This model is made in the same factory as Rockwood, and the Model # for this in Rockwood is 2516S.

Most of our camper tours are real use - not just showroom floor. We couldn’t find that while we were looking, so wanted to provide that for others. Glad to hear it’s appreciated

Thank you So much for this video! My husband and I have been saving for 3 years for our first camper and you guys helped us find the perfect one for us!!! We found a brand new 2022 at a dealership after watching your video. And I have been a little worried about the model year and things I’ve heard about “quality after Covid”. But you have reassured us that we are making the right choice! Thank you thank you! Keep up the great videos! ❤

I watched this video months ago and when you mentioned outdoor kitchen I looked into other models that Flagstaff has and found the 25BSDS. I put in an order for a 2024 yesterday and I cannot wait till it arrives. Glad to hear you have no issue towing with your Tundra as I also have a Tundra. Different layout but I think it'll tow it just fine.

@eljefe62 Год назад

This is a very nice model and I hope it works well for you! The big misses for us are the bed slide, the bathroom setup, and the front slide interior options. The 25FKB/2506S is a better fit for our needs and is lighter because of the slide and rear entry situation. We can get along fine without the "full" queen in order to gain extra storage and the outdoor kitchen. The pass through bathroom is a h-no. We prefer the large U-shaped dinette rather than the recliner. We also prefer the darker cabinet option over the all light (we had all light in a previous unit) as you get a beautiful contrast. We love the Rockwood/Flagstaff build quality for sure! We highly recommend those interested in this line to watch Josh's factory visit to see the differences over other manufacturers. Cheers and safe travels!

@CampingCompanions Год назад

We love Josh! Each camper has it's own Pros & cons. Our old camper was all dark wood and had a HUGE bathroom, so this one is less than ideal for us as well. It does get the job done and we don't shower in it that often. We really wish that this had an outdoor kitchen, and would gladly exchange the second entry for it. This unit is excellent for "Road mode" though. We love our unit! Thanks for all of your insight. Safe travels to you.

We have a 2017 Flagstaff 832IKBS which we love. We have the swing up cover for the front window which I like because it shades the window when open. After 30K miles, it has held up well. There is no perfect RV, just have to check as many boxes as you can. Enjoy your trailer!

@eddievanlingen1935 Год назад

Sorry but that counter top is not marble. It is Corian . marble or granite or marble is not used in rvs due to the fact it is prone to vibrations during towing and it definitely will Crack! I work at the manufacturing plant in Elkhart, Indiana for 8 years and I have put together the interior for that model. More expensive class A diesel pushers can use granite due to the heavy weight of the vehicle. Just thought I would clear you up on that marble counter top.

@shireguy876 Год назад

We have the 2516s and we’re also skeptical about the utility of having two doors, until we got a site the reverse slope of the one in your video. No matter the front/ back slope, one or the other steps has always been able to adjust to the ground. If the nose is nearly on the ground to level the rig, carrying a booster step would be of no help. Also, we have on a couple of occasions been assigned a KOA site (one night stops at a Journey pull through) that had a cement “patio” that was too high to use the front steps.

@CampingCompanions Год назад

We always thought we wanted the solid steps, but now don’t care for them. This past weekend we were on a muddy site and had to put pieces of wood under the legs because they were sinking in the ground. Maybe if they put one set of foldable and one set of More ride steps? We had to build the step just to park in our driveway because the stairs don’t reach the ground otherwise. Overall love the rig though. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I own a Flagstaff Shamrock hybrid (23ikss). The Showmizer is a genius invention for boondocking and it was nice to see that the ample, inside storage is still available in your model too. That was a big selling point for the wife too. Flaggstaff/Rockwood/Forrest river, seems to really research primary needs of RVer's. Agree on questionable electrical hook up...around water?! RV's are never gonna be 100%. "They say" Just as long 80% is what you want, then its pretty much an RV for you. 👍 Great Find!

Yes, not sure why the solar thing for rv's are being promoted so much. The whole roof would have to be solar for it to be useful/practical (just my opinion). Mine has a connection for some, but will most likely not get any. If you're boondocking, especially in the mountains around trees, solar is a moot point. 2200watt generator is the way to go.

I think you need to invest in a new set of stairs that rest on the ground. We did that with our Winnebago Minnie. No more 'floating' stairs. You went too fast with over the sink cupboards. How deep do they go? I didn't see any storage bins, so all the 'stuff' you have in there must shift during travel.

@CampingCompanions 19 дней назад

@@roxannegordon6162 We’ve thought about changing the stairs because they have been a problem on more than one occasion. The cupboard are pretty deep and we have clear plastic storage bins to store things like spices and such. We have grip sheets to keep things from sliding but they bunch up and we just took them out. Otherwise we have a stackable shelf to maximize space, but we still have to upright the cups after each trip.

@CampingCompanions 6 месяцев назад

+@ozcman9034 The dinette set up is a personal preference. We rarely eat inside the camper, so having one doesn’t matter to us.

@jeffb.2469 9 месяцев назад

Do they have a model like this that does not have the separate door off the bedroom? I think you're right. That space could be used for additional storage and an outdoor kitchen. One entry door would work fine. One other question I have - how often do these slides become a mechanical problem, and do they develop leaks? I've never owned a camper, but retirement is near and we are considering it. I have no idea where to start, but I'm glad I found your video.

There are several options that Flagstaff makes that don’t have the second but not the kitchen we really loved. The 2511 was also a contender when we were looking, but in the end, the kitchen won. The 2513 is might be a good option for you. As for the leaks or mechanical issues, we’ve owned many different campers over the years and have never had a problem.

@CampingCompanions Год назад

+Fulltime RV Nomad thank you! It’s funny, we were looking at the exact two models and went with the 2516s because of the kitchen space and the room around the bed. If you’re going to be full time, you’d probably want the same! As far as the Tundra goes, you just have to look at the numbers. Our 2022 has a payload capacity of 1850lbs. The hitch weight takes up a good chunk of that along with kayaks when we bring them. We don’t travel heavy. We are minimalist campers. We might get close to that number but we don’t exceed it. The truck does have a little squat but not terrible. Otherwise, I feel that it pulls easy. I don’t ever really travel faster than 68mph. (I’ve found that’s about the same speed as semis so I rarely pass anyone) and we don’t have HUGE mountains around here. But the hills we do climb, the twin turbos kick in and it’s a breeze. We average about 12.8 mpg towing. I think that’s everything. Feel free to ask anything!

Beautiful trailer! Love the kitchen! Just a question. Not sure why you put a wooden step on the bottom ? There’s a button on each side to extend down the feet on your steps

@CampingCompanions 11 месяцев назад

We know but the wood step is used when the legs are extended as far as they can go but still don’t reach the ground. Our driveway at home has a drop off that requires it.

How do you access the door window shade with the door closed? Seems like you have to open the door, separate the screen door, then move the shade? What if you are inside and want to peek out the door window to see if someone is at the door?

@CampingCompanions 9 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, you don’t. That’s every RV though, not just this model. The shade is located in the main door which is outside the screen door. You set it and close the door.

Just found your channel, enjoying your travels~ My wife amd I are looking at this rv, it works with our half ton. 2 questions: 1) The 2 septic drops. Does the rear have 2 tanks (a gray and black), with the kitchen only having the gray? I had wondered if the rear had only 1 tank. 2) Water inlet. The water inlet is above the power (really thought Forest River would have changed that) for city water. But you showed the water tank fill on the opposite side. Does this also work as a city water hook up? Enjoyed your tours, and thank you for your time!

@CampingCompanions 11 месяцев назад

1). There are 2 tanks in the rear, gray and black. We thought we weren’t going to like the two drops, but if you line your front camper tire with the dump hole then a standard sewer hose reaches both ports without having to move the camper, so it’s not so bad. 2)The water inlet on the camp side is your freshwater tank. It does not hook to city water. Thanks for your comments. I’m sure others have the same questions and appreciate the information.

@temoswalt2371 11 месяцев назад

Thank you~ It really is a great rv, I don't think any are 100% perfect. For a couples rv, this one comes pretty close though. So, if Flagstaff/Rockwood takes any notice: 1) Get the power/water hookups corrected! 2) A rectangular shower as well and this unit would be as close to 100% as you can get. Great lay out and great storage, truly a nice rv!

@johnellerbee3525 Год назад

It appears that your Blackstone has a regulator attached to it. If your source of propane is coming from the front 30 gallon propane tank; it is already regulated there. Therefore; you are “double” regulated and the Blackstone has excessively restricted gas flow. Just FYI.

@CampingCompanions 7 месяцев назад

Hello, thanks for watching. The price was just a little over $40k for us but the dealership we got it from raised the price because they raised the amount of our trade so it would pay it off and give us a few thousand to “put down”. Salem RV in Sellinsgrove, PA was awesome to work with!! Structurally, it’s been amazing! Head and shoulders above our old Avenger! I highly recommend Flagstaff / Rockwood!!

Somehow my comment was deleted? Was asking about the performance of your Tundra pulling this camper. Does it do it well? 😎

@CampingCompanions 9 месяцев назад

It does quite well! You just need to make sure you get the correct trim package. We have the SR5 which has a payload of just over 1800. I’ve seen the Limited just over 1200. Payload is the biggest concern with the heavy hitch weight. Otherwise, pulling and stopping is a breeze.

@CampingCompanions 9 месяцев назад

You did great! Better than us. We had a trade in that we still owed on so our bottom line was $42 ish. They upped our trade in value but increased the price of the trailer so we had a down payment. The Tundra will do well for you. Like we said, just mind the payload. We’ve spoken to full timers who carry a LOT of stuff who say it’s not great but for those who weekend here and there and a few week long trips, it’s great! Make sure to get a weight distribution hitch and sway bar combo and make sure it’s on correctly!

@@CampingCompanions I felt safe in my half ton, till the front brake calipers failed locking the brakes and ending my trip. Now I feel safe in a 3/4 ton diesel with engine braking.

The 1500 was well within its rating.
