The Keystone Cougar and Jayco White Hawk haven't historically been considered comparable products. But, after some recent updates I came to realize they've really come to find themselves head-to-head in nearly the exact same market segment.
They accomplish many of the same goals, but often in extremely different ways. And of course each has their unique little quirks and features found lacking in the other.
This video comparing these two premium "Ultralite Plus" travel trailers here at Haylett RV is quite long. But if you're serious about making a purchase of one or the other, then you'll no doubt appreciate Josh the RV Nerd's in-depth look at these two stellar brands!!
Here are some links to the two specific RVs used as a reference during this video:
* Cougar 34TSB • 2021 Cougar 34TSB Trip...
* White Hawk 29BH • Carpetless & Hot/Cold ...
They're drastically different models. I wasn't worried about similar floor plans since we're discussing general brand differences

Last week "I was told my 15 minutes are too long. Are my vid's too long??" This Week "Here's a 43 minute video. Enjoy!" Troll Level Master Achieved. Seriously though, excellent videos! 20 min's 40 min's, doesn't matter. The time and $$ these save me from making phone calls and physically visiting local dealer after dealer is immeasurable. Very much appreciated!! You teach so much important info. Priceless!!!

@JoshtheRVNerd 3 года назад

HAHAHA -- not intentional. I have received a lot of people this year telling me "your vids are too long man" I really personally feel like a SERIOUS buyer would want all the extra info we provide And when I asked I got 100% confirmation of that from our Haylett Nation Viewers & our very vocal RV Nerd Herd :)

No backing up when new at this, my husband was a truck driver so use pull-throughs request when making a reservation or get a camper that has a nice big one an older man, more experience and control.

@bobblashe5954 Год назад

Josh: This is a GREAT way to compare two very good brands of RV's from different manufactures or divisions of the same company. With literally hundreds of very similar looking towable campers to choose from, a non-professional full time shopper does not have a chance to make the correct decision for their particular situation, wants and needs! This then, really is very helpful. I would like to suggest one additional piece of information that would make the review process complete. In the "Show More" Section, add a Link to a document that lists the differences and similarities in two columns. No detail. Just the List of Items. The details can be found at a document listed timestamp of the associated video! Now this will take considerable time to accurately cross-link the two sources of information. And we, your Subscribers, all know and love you as the guy in front of the camera! This extra step cannot reduce your on-camera time and variety! Therefore, this documentation must be handled by one of your secretarial staff! Keep them coming buddy!🎯

The frozen water story. 2019 29BHS, heated water hose, heat wrapped water connection into the ground and it was covered. The heated water hose does not allow the cover outside on the camper to close. Left the water on to drip but only cold not hot. The plastic connectors in the panel froze for 4 days. No leaks, no broken fittings. I was using a 30lb tank of fuel every 2 days heating at 70 it was so cold. I had a line froze this year before I winterized and no issues again.

You give fair reviews of your RVs, are very thorough, and explain differences from a "personal preference" perspective, rather than a bias. The only thing that I wish were mentioned were weight and even ballpark price or something like, "the cougar will generally cost a few thousand more (which is pretty insignificant when you are financing a big rig like these models). Thank you for your time, information, and integrity.

@JoshtheRVNerd 3 года назад

@raymondschneider5217 3 года назад

Uncle Josh, we SOOOO appreciate all the hard work you do in these comparison videos; though, to be honest, it makes the decision process more difficult! In a good way, of course! It's always nice seeing how diff mfg approach the same prob differently. Have leaned toward the Cougar product, but, your comparison makes me re-think some of my impressions. SUGGESTION: Would love seeing a hitch comparison for TT and 5er, if possible. For newbies (or relative newbies), the hitch can be confusing. Maybe, show good, better, best hitch options for diff size (smaller, medium and higher wgt) units, which might benefit (or not) from sway control, etc. You do a fanDAMNtastic job of this type of comparison (good vs bad, er NOT so bad). We learn a TON from you! Keep up the GREAT work, Josh. Y'all Be Safe!

We have a cougar TT and when we sit at the free standing table we noticed we felt like we were leaning towards the window. We pulled the chairs away and stood and you could definitely feel a “soft spot” right where the chair sits. It flexes quite a lot. My husband looked underneath and there are braces in the corners but not in the exact spot where it flexes. He put a bottleneck jack under it and it helps a little but I feel like we shouldn’t have to do that. Other then that we love our 2019 trailer!

With that said, I and all of us who are considering a purchase of either of these two RV brands would like to see more detailed information about their holding tanks [especially the black water flush system - the worst job to do during any camping trip] and the water heater; both capacity and ability to keep water hot during the use of the shower - plus - the size of the shower. By that I mean a lot of showers in other RV's end up being too small to be able to move around as you need to do to get a good refreshing shower. Looking forward to your reply and hopefully a new video add-on / or Part 2 to this one: DiDo

I second this response! I too wonder which brands of RV's have the best plumbing for all seasons, especially which are the best winter setups/ packages & for hot seasons! The biggest showers & shower-tub combos especially because it seems like 90% of RV's have shower only! Some of us can't live without a tub combo to soak in a nice hot bath with some essential oil & epsom salt after a long hard day of work! Can't manage that in a shower. Also which have the instant hot water heaters & the macerating toilets? Residential sized appliances for families & Which brands has the best quality family style furniture for convertability & durability & all those great things... Thank you so much for all your amazing videos! 👏 I subscribed & watch your videos often, I hope you can get to a few of my responses so I can figure out some things in question before we go buy a newer RV for our work travels. We need all weather durability, 1/2 ton towable for F-150 truck, sleeping space for 2-4 people +1 blue heeler dog, we would prefer shower-tub combo (large bathroom & kitchen counter, cabinets & appliances, with the most possible storage- no nook or cranny wasted!) Another question, is there a 1/2 ton RV that has a small spot for at least a 2 in 1 combo washer- dryer unit? 🤔 Much appreciated all the videos and information you help provide all of us across the states! 🇺🇸 Thank you so much for all your hard work & keeping it 💯% real & also staying lively, family friendly & funny too! 😁

Definitely one of your better videos, although long it was very comprehensive and I appreciate the comparison between the two. Let’s continue this trend. The only thing I wish you would have added is weights loaded and unloaded

@JoshtheRVNerd 3 года назад

Well thankya for tuning in :) Regarding weights -- it wasn't really a "THIS cougar vs. THIS white hawk." I merely used a pair as a reference point. It's more focused on the similarities and differences between the brands as a whole

If it wasn’t for videos like this I wouldn’t have been able to buy my cougar a year ago. 3 months of videos only and most on this channel.

@charlestaylor8832 3 года назад

Josh, excellent comparison video. You always do great videos. Suggestion Cougar vs Rockwood. Only because that’s what we are shopping. Also condolences on your grandfather. We were disposed to meet you on the day that ended up being the funeral. But Mike Snyder did a great job for us. Thanks for all you do.

@JoshtheRVNerd 3 года назад

As soon as I can actually get some Rockwoods in stock I have a LOT of comparisons for them I need to get done. Sorry I missed you. That was not a fun week. Funerals become an event that "means more" as you grow older I've noticed.

Another great vid: lots of important info. Comparison of mfg is super interesting; as well as back story. My interest tend toward boondocking features, so solar info is primo. Funny ending.

@JoshtheRVNerd 3 года назад

Thx for watching, Dennis :) We are still just rolling out this new series of comparisons. As more RVs roll in it's providing me with more opportunities for comparison. So stay tuned!! Great stuff coming :)

@luisgiron1907 2 года назад

Thank you for the information. We are in the market for an RV. You did a great job competing them.

@JoshtheRVNerd 2 года назад

Thank you Luis!! A few things have changed since this was recorded but it should still give you a good idea for the current models

@vasili70 3 года назад

Thanks for doing these comparisons. We are very early in our search for an RV, but Jayco and Keystone are the two manufacturers we have at the top of our list. We plan to buy our first camper the last time basically, so this will take a while. Also, not knowing what the future holds for our country and economy.....the decision process will be analyzed to death before pulling the trigger. Who knows, may even choose something we haven't yet considered. Your videos are a valuable tool in our search. Thanks again!

@JoshtheRVNerd 3 года назад

Thanks for watching! Was one or the other of these more attractive, or just too close to call at this point?

@vasili70 3 года назад

@@JoshtheRVNerd Aesthetically, I think the Jayco looks better, but the Cougar seems like it is better equipped and may be more functional.

@catherinehatt1224 Год назад

I appreciate all that you do information wise. I'm east coast Canada. Last checked $1.39 difference, not in my favor. So just kicking tires.

@kgumpper88 3 года назад

Love your videos. One suggestion... on this video you glossed over some key features in the kitchens- counter space and storage space. It appeared that there were significant differences between the 2 for that topic. Kitchen functionality is really important to us.

@JoshtheRVNerd 3 года назад

That's because I wasn't comparing specific models -- just differences and similarities between the brands as a whole
