I had a 2000 Arctic Fox 22h for 18 years and it was a wonderful rig with no issues ever. I sold it to a neighbor and bought a Lance 850 cab over truck camper which even though Lance says It was made for a 3/4 ton pickup I did not feel it was safe. In my search for the perfect RV I ended up with a Lance model 1985 travel trailer and the new Lances are not your fathers campers, it was the first in the shop way to often. Long story short, I bought a 2021 Nash 22h Off The Grid model. I love it. No long punch list after every trip. So I’m set for another 18 years. Enjoy yours, they are, in my option, they are the best made, period.
I want to solo camp within the next year. I want something simple. I'm retired and don't want a lot of stuff. My concern is exactly what you were talking about. Everyone keeps telling me it's too small; but, I believe it would be great.
We lived in (but did not travel with) a 37’ 5th wheel for 2 years. Built a house and now rv with our 23’ Freedom express, pulling with 1500 Silverado diesel. Walk around bed was a must for us but wanted to stay smaller. 23’ IS small. Lol. Love it! Going from Florida to Canada in July 2023!
Jayco and Northwood are the best built campers for the money I've found ...I've had them both and loved them both .I'm 61 and retired living in my 25 foot travel trailer now . WV in the summer and Florida for winter .
We downsized from a 28’ TT with 2 slides to a 17K Nash. We love it and aren’t full timers but find no problem spending any length of time in this smaller rig. There really is a lot of storage for it’s size. There are 2 of us and our dog.
We Fulltime in a 29’ with no slides & want to downsize to 20’ or so. And “4” season. This really helped us out with the pros & cons. Plus have us a giggle! Subscribed!
Glad you found it helpful! It's definitely a small trailer but it's been great and the quality is awesome. Take a look at the Articic Fox 22g. Thanks for the sub!
We upgraded last year from an A-frame to a Nash 17K. We love how large the unit is. Also living in Canada it's been great to prolong the camping season!
Take those smokehouse almonds and a peanut brittle recipe. Replace the peanuts with smokehouse almonds and you get one delicious sweet and salty snack.
Waking up and going right to work. I just about died laughing. You guys are braver than me. I couldn’t live full time in such a small space. I look forward to your one year review. 😂
Great job, I actually upgraded from a Nucamp 400 to the Nash 17K last year and to me its huge compared to the 400 and the big dinette windows are great and it's just easy to tow as you point out. I did the factory tour this year and it was amazing in terms of quality and design. Great job on the video, right on point. I added lithium batteries inside the front storage and an inverter. Thanks for video.
Thats what i want to do. Im a recent widow and when hubbs was alive we talked about buying a 20 ft rv an do full time living. My problems are..1. I have no idea even how to hook up anything let alone how to work the control panel inside. and 2.. i have glaucoma so id have to park it permanently somewhere where i have access to a good eye doc and pharmacy for my eye drops. One day hopefully I will get it figured out. Love your video
I figured with the camping style you guys like the 5th wheel was gonna be toast....we exclusively boondock as remotely as possible with our 24' TT with one 8' slide and I drag that thing anywhere....15,000 miles now and haven't broken anything......yet.....my wife and I would love to cross paths with u guys one day.....
It's looks like you have some kind of sponsorship with Northwood.. It would be great if you focus on the Northwood Insulation factor,And how it is really holding up at Sub Zero Temperatures...It would be awesome if you could show the coldest temperature, and how well the furnace holds up...Costs of heating Etc.. Thx for your vids
Hey, we actually do not have a sponsorship or work with Northwood we just really liked their trailers. We now actually have a Grand Design due to better layouts. We camped in 15 degrees last spring and the trailer did great. Here's a video for that experience. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AwoByBltOQQ.html
Subscribing because your full timing in a nash and I own a 2015 nash 25c.. the quality is amazing and they're built right..lived in mine for 8 months thru a Colorado winter and it was comfy.. looking forward to the content 👌
@@AdventureEndeavor i bought mine off the lot new, its been 6 years with zero issues except the piezo ignitor for the front burner on the stove quit🤷♂️.. safe travels guys🤙
Kudos to you guys. We don't have a big 5th wheel, but y'all are crazy. Looks like you are making it work though, so good for you. looking forward to seeing how it is living in such a small space over time. Good luck guys!
Aloha from kauai, I like your trailer,we are trying to trailer to Alaska in 2 weeks but things Are looking unpredictable so maybe Baja. Just want to go
We lived in a 29’ travel travel with no slides with our three girls and 2 cats for 7 years. It was tight and there were definitely pros and cons but we made it work. We are now empty nesters with a 32’ travel trailer with a large slide. The extra space is nice. We have thought about a toy hauler but we keep coming back to the travel trailer idea for the reasons you states. Great video!
I can see the benefits of going smaller, especially with the type of activities you guys enjoy. I don't know if I could do it myself. As much as it limits me, I like the space. But please, tell me you made room for the Davy Crockett! I picked one up after watching yours, and a few other reviews and it's fantastic!
Kudos to you guys. Young, beautiful and in love. Enjoy this while you can. Let us know if you have had to remain inside for numerous days due to weather.
first time watching .. thanks for the info .. if i may make a suggestion .. the background music is a bit too loud and busy while you guys are speaking .. it's distracting.. i like to absorb information .. don't care much for all that music constantly playing ..
Great vid as always...The sleeping and working demos are priceless! Seriously, I'd pay a lot of $$$$$ to see you pull through a Chick-Fil-A drive through (seriously I would - let's set it up) 😂 That's some small living; to each their own...My crystal ball shows that you'll be purchasing a 5th wheel in a year or less! ha ha
Nice looking Northwood sweatshirt.... I've never seen them before, curious where you got it. I had a 17k, loved the small size. I sold it and bought a ORV 24RLS, and then sold that 4 months later. Wish I would have kept the 17k.
Yeah we use to have a cougar, it was huge compared to think little Nash. Overhead was still an issue with the cougar, that's one thing we live About the Nash. Good trailer though.
We have the exact same truck and we looking to get the exact same 5th wheel from a private seller in FL, where we live. I was worried about going over payload, but we are installing airbags. You said the fifth wheel was stressing your truck. Was it too big for the truck?
Have you weighed/checked your tongue weight? I'm considering this sweet trailer for a boondocking Queen also. My limiting factor is my older Tundra which is in perfect mechanical condition ( I'm fanatical about maintenance) and it's ratings. I have the tow package, 4.3 rear, tow/haul mode, extra trans cooler, but still only have 7300 Lbs towing and equally important 1330 Lbs CCC. Will use air bags along with a WDH & anti sway hitch. Do you think my Tundra would be up to hauling the Nash? I can afford the trailer but not i I have to get a different truck. Plus I have had the truck since new and I have kept it the way (and above) it should be. Thanks!
We have now weighed our trailer yet. I think you would be ok but I'm no expert. Are you going to be fulltime? If so I wouldn't do it, you most likely will be too heavy. We definitely feel it back there but the Ram doesn't have any issues. We have bags also and no WDH. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Northwoods ( Nash, Artic fox, Desert fox) are extremely heavy. I have a 22 ft Nash - dry it weighs 6200 pounds. Loaded with food, water, ect... it comes in at 8600. We had to upgrade our tow vehicle to a Ford 250 super duty to give us a safe cushion. We can still feel it, but we can handle the mountain terrain safely now. I would not recommend a Toyota. Ram, Ford, or a big chevy - 250/2500 at least.
Not at all. We had this trailer in 15° and got about 10 in of snow and we had zero issues with freezing pipes. We were boondocking in a Walmart parking lot, we've been in worse conditions but had hookups.
So far pretty good. Our old larger dog has back issues so he shouldn't move much anymore. The younger one is like a cat, just chills. We also go for 3 walks a day. Thanks for watching.
@@AdventureEndeavor obviously this is jsut my personal preference. waht year is your nash. im looking for a jayco feater 17ft in the 3-4 thousand dollar range. how many gallons is your gray water tank. are you taking navy showers?
