What RV would YOU buy? What is the best travel trailer? I get questions like that all the time. But the thing is... what I would buy changes based on how I may use the RV.
So today a different kind of "Top Picks" video from what we've done in the past -- these are currently some of my favorite top picks in the world of travel trailers based on several "Categories" or scenarios I've created. These are the RVs that speak the loudest to me personally the way I would camp.
It doesn't mean "THESE ARE THE BEST ONES!!" But rather.. just the best ones for me and my family. This is only meant as a way of answering a question I often get and perhaps serving as a "launch pad" for you in your own search for an RV!

@colinwallace5286 Год назад

We have a Jay Feather 29L. I like that it is low to the ground, has an actual trailer frame under it, and a nice long slide, which you don’t even have to deploy to use all features in the trailer if you’re travelling. Also love the full pass-through storage at both ends. What we hate is the sort of queen bed in the nose. No reason for it. Lazy design.

@nathankoscielski3123 Год назад

For my family and camping lifestyle (seasonal’s), travel trailers that are over 30’ long with a single super-slide & bunkhouse are my preference, here are my top 5: 5 ) Nash 29S 4 ) Wildwood Heritage Glen 26BHHL 3 ) Outdoors RV 28DBS 2 ) Cougar 30BHS 1 ) Ember 28BH Nate from Buffalo ‘18 Keystone Cougar 29BHS (my favorite floor plan of all time)

I sold my little 25 foot TT and bought my 33ft Coachmen TT with rear living and one long slide. I love it! I'm solo female with 3 Labrador Retrievers and they love all the floor space. I have towed it from Texas to Kentucky and back to Texas. In March I towed from Texas to NW Minnesota, where I am currently. It actually tows a lot better than my shorter camper did.

Bought our first camper last summer (June 2022) Family of 5 (3 kids) Jayco 295BHS. Absolutely love it. Can access everything in road mode and plenty of space/sleeping when opened up. We upgraded the AC, TV, outside Griddle, and stability steps on purchasing, then upgraded the bathroom medicine cabinet/mirror, table legs, wall hooks, and a few easier items on our own based off of videos like this. Thank you so much. TOTALLY recommend the Jayco 295BHS, with some upgrades, as a first or even 2nd or 3rd camper. Absolutely love it. In the last year we have used it from ND to GA and lots of spots in between.

Always enjoy your videos. We own a 97 Fleetwood Mallard 19-footer and have loved it. Just the right size for two, easy to pull and fits easily into even the smallest Nat. Park campground. Looking now for an easier bed to get in and out of. The small Jayco looks great as does the 21’ Geo-Pro you reviewed earlier. We’ll strongly consider the 2+hour drive to Richmond because of your reputation and honest approach. One suggestion for your Bish’s website-a filter for overall length. I’d like to filter 24’ and shorter. Keep the videos coming!

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

Length filter would be great. We've found some difficulty with our web service accomplishing some things like that

@mbirch1593 Год назад

Great video Josh! I always enjoy looking at different floor plans. This couple prefers a trailer around 20 feet, so the Jay Flight or the Winnebago would be more our jam. That said, love our Geo Pro 19QB. Got her tricked out with added solar and a lithium battery. Very hard to book sites with power in the Provincial Parks in Southern Ontario. #NerdHerd

@alsmeal Год назад

Appreciate all your RV videos. I was looking to downsize from a diesel pusher to a small tow behind and used your reviews as a very valuable tool to determine what was out there. Your review of the 191MSL reintroduced me to Ember after I had dismissed them as "too new" at the RV show. I now have the 191MSL and am able to configure it to solo camp, RV with my wife and 2 dogs, or Tailgate for a week at a NASCAR race. Combine that with the curt suspension that makes this the best towing RV I have had and I feel like this one should have made your list.

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

I should've included a special mention for those MSL models as "most multi-functional" or something lol Glad I was able to assist. Mind dropping me a quick review at g.page/r/CdPcitNVx2nDEAg/review in return for the helping hand?

@petemcfeet28 Год назад

Make the Winnebago solo camper 8 feet wide with a dine-ofa instead of the dinette and I think it may be as close to EXACTLY what I'm looking for or as close to it as I thought was possible. My midsized truck could even handle it if it added another 1000lbs. I think the extra foot in width with a dine-ofa would open it right up.

@bigj200016 Год назад

I ended up buying a FSX280 at the end of last year because it was still in the range of what I felt comfortable towing with my half ton. Then I ended up falling into a great deal on an older F250 and kind of regret not going a tick bigger. But even still, the size of the 280 is just about perfect for what I need it for (motorcycle rallies) but I would have liked something with a tick more cargo capacity. With my Harley Softail and a friends Sportser, I’ll be not too far from GVWR on the trailer before even any water is added. Live and learn.

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

@dennisbrooks1226 Год назад

@samebert4344 Год назад

We just saw the 42 view at our local show and I was super excited to walk through it. Both of us agreed that thing is incredible for full time living, vacation getaway or whatever! Plus if you were a couple looking to do something more long term, those bunks make for a great attic style space for some storage bins!

@samebert4344 Год назад

Also our more realistic choice is most likely going to be the Grand Design 200MMK. It's much larger feeling inside than we expected and with the sofa and floating table instead of the dinette, it's got some nice rainy day movie watching space. The kitchen space is unrivaled in it's size aside from the other brands making virtual copies of the floorplan and the bathroom really isn't bad since it doesn't have a corner shower, at 6'2" and more like 6'5" with my chunky work boots on, my head is in the skylight but I wouldn't have any issues taking a shower in there. Then the killer feature is that since this one is a permanent bed instead of a Murphy, you don't have to worry about the slide cutting off access to it in road mode which we see as an absolute must for rest stop naps on a road trip, and it's a full queen instead of a shorty. You've even got a nice chunk of solar with the 165 watt panel to keep that fridge going for all your snacky needs on the way to your destination! I did fall in love with the Ember 21MRK for a lot of the same reasons and more but once we saw the price difference... It's hard to beat the Grand Design.

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

That transcend 200 is *NICE.* I think they made some smart calls there balancing the features and layout without sacrificing their identity Sticking with things like that true queen for instance.

@scottelwood8746 Год назад

The one I would choose is the first one. The first thing to go to the scrap heap would be the propane/electric refrigerator replace with an Isotherm 12/electric one. If it’s got a fart fan that can be add to the scrap heap as well. Replace with a different one with a cover so you could run it in the rain. Number three get a gallon of paint that will take care of the dark wood. Number four add the Froli sleep system to the piece of plywood then add a better mattress. This was an A- before it only gets better. I could keep going but this is the only one for me and mama bear. Thanks nerd.

I just want to say, Josh, that I really value your opinion! This was great information. I'm single and have been looking for the perfect RV/ travel trailer/small camper.

They're very informative!

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

Vans of most any variety offer quite limited towing options. A tundra will open up a lot of doors But before pulling the trigger on an new vehicle I do recommend at least _picking_ the RV you want so you know what vehicle you'll need to handle it

@_purge9488 Год назад

So far my two favorite couples campers, as a replacement for vanlife, would be the Coachmen Northern Spirit 1943RB / Rockwood Mini Lite 2205S. Both have the rear entry with the fridge next to the nice size bathroom, driver side with nice theater seats across from size-able kitchen + swivel mount Tv, and at the front is a full queen with walking space on either size + under bed storage. And they’re both around 5K pounds dry, meaning a midsize could tow it just fine, transmission cooler would probably be a worthwhile investment though. I think the Coachmen is slightly better with an L shaped kitchen that provides bar seating, and a far larger under bed storage.

@masonmcglothlin5101 Год назад

There was a lot of Jayco and Keystone Cougars, but what about Rockwoods doin' Rockwood things? Mini Lites and Geo Pros are usually some that you speak very highly of in your videos, but not a peep about them here. Not to mention, I don't recall seeing anything here with a Murphy bed, which can be a great space saver. I appreciated the Winnebago Micro Minnie, but that seemed to be it as far as small campers go. What about single axle campers, perhaps an R-Pod or something else in that class? Also, I didn't see anything from Grand Design - they're usually pretty well regarded. Some hybrid/popup campers like the Rockwood Roo might be good to showcase too, or even an Aliner (if Bish's carries them). Are Jayco and Keystone Cougars just that much better than the competition?

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

This video focused on new floor plans i was able to record this year. Didn’t get to see a lot of new Rockwood’s

@masonmcglothlin5101 Год назад

@@JoshtheRVNerd Ah, that explains it. I may have missed that if it was said somewhere in the video. It does feel a little strange to focus the discussion on new floorplans rather than taking a holistic look at what's available, when the video is titled "Top Pick Travel Trailers for 2023". Still, I appreciate the work you do and amount of detail you provide! A year and a half ago we got a Mini Lite 2509S largely thanks to your reviews. It ended up being a great fit.

@terremolander5243 Год назад

We look at what are deal breakers and go from there. A single axle, no tank heaters, and a short queen bed will kill the deal. Office friendly, large oven and microwave, and outside grill are requirements. The last requirement is 7,500 lbs. or less in weight. Thanks for the another great video.

@lyfandeth Год назад

Bear in mind, the east coast id infested with toll roads. Sometimes $15-20 for a car to cross a bridge or tunnel, easy to spend $50 in a day. Toll charges are based on axles, so a single axle trailer increases your tolls by 50% but the admittedly better dual axle will DOUBLE your tolls.

@carmongempler5473 Год назад

Josh, I've been following you for several years. Your videos and factory tour got me into our 20FBS GeoPro. We absolutely love it. Since you've switched to Bishs you walk by them, but seem to never mention them anymore. Do you no longer sell them new. I would recommend our camper for towabily, (TV Jeep Grand Cherokee) quality of construction, easy to live in. Our longest continuous stay in the last 12 months has been 24 days and more than 30 days of camping in short stays. I felt it should of made mentioning, but understand if you nolonger sell them. Thanks for your videos.

What would you recommend for a couples RV travel Trailer, between 25-28ft Liveability, Overall quality, Floor-plan, Driving/towing, and factory warranty. Has storage in the bathroom (linen closet), kitchen, pantry wraparound dinette, couch, decent storage bedroom, below, sides and top, even a closet.

@JoshtheRVNerd 9 месяцев назад

Hard to offer personalized suggestions without speaking with you but from the hip I think something in the Rockwood family of RVs may be in order

@flyinjeeper90 Год назад

The Rockstaff 235S should have been in there. Two queen beds (private as well) enough floor space for packnplays for when kids are small, and when they are, a bed big enough for 2 of them. Huge outside kitchen. Also great for couples and friends camping because everyone's bed is the same. No one stuck on a sofa or bunk meant for a kid.

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

If I went with my favorite hybrid, then it would be either that or the 233S. I like the 233S but it isn't the best fit for my family

@tammyprice8539 Год назад

What would you recommend for living in while building a house for a year.. in the winter... in northern Ontario where it could possible be -25. And not fussy if its a 5th wheel or tow behind. Something along size of 34/36 ft. And what extras to purchase to keep things from freezing and no hydro. So would need solar for sure. Ya a big ask I know Or maybe we are just crazy either way. LOL Thanks in advance for any advice.

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

First you need to understand no RV is rated for that kind of weather on its own. It doesn't matter what claims they make - no RV is truly "four seasons" or "all weather." Regardless of what you choose you're going to need to add some extra protection like skirting, stuffing vents to prevent heat loss, covering windows with heat reflectors, burning TONS of propane, maybe a supplemental heater unit under the RV, dehumidifier(s) And even then? No guarantees in that kind of extreme. Perhaps not the answer you were hoping to get but that is the truth of the matter. I stand to gain nothing but sharing this I'm not saying it's impossible but there's no way anyone can guarantee function. BUT.. I think a used RV makes the most sense. You'll be taking a nasty bath buying a brand new RV only to get out of it a year later. Better to find something used. Easier in. Easier out.

best camper for boondocking, non-paved roads with some potholes/ruts - (couple with a cat) - looking at moving from Geo Pro G20BHS - wanting something rugged, small, with storage and counter space - liking the Geo Pro 20FKS. Is there something comparable that might have a dual axel, more storage, a better bathroom, or queen bed not in the east west set up?

@JoshtheRVNerd 9 месяцев назад

First thing that came to mind is a Mini Lite 2506S but it may not be quite the right fit The RV will quickly go from about 21ft like you have now to pushing 30ft quickly

We had a 2016 Jayco Jay Flight 23RB. Sold it and upgraded to a 2022 Jayco Jay Flight 32BHDS. We are a retired couple who snowbird for 6 months and needed space for an office and/or music room. The 32BHDS gave us the best in cargo carrying capacity. We are quite active with cycling, running, etc., and needed storage for all our stuff. Also like the fact we can get to all the areas when slides are in. We tow with a Ford F250 with a 6.2 litre engine. Would like to know what you think about the model. We love watching your videos and really appreciate the pros and cons. Thanks so much Josh. From Southern Ontario area.

@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks Josh. The dealer included the batteries, $500 gift card to use in parts department, fixed all the items we saw when we went through the rig with a fine tooth comb, plus no charge for PDI, and we have our license plate from our other rig. All in all we paid just over $63,000 Canadian. This rig also has the thermal package, the sun vent in the kitchen, farmhouse decor, full sofa not a jack knife, fibreglass exterior, plus a few other things. Installed a backup camera and we purchased a 12,000 lb equalizer and sway bar hitching system, has a fireplace, MORryde steps and the J-Port with the grill..

My husband and I appreciate all the information that you give on your You Tube channel. We have been watching a lot of You Tube trying to educate ourselves. We do have a question on something that has only been mentioned a couple of time. Can you please let me know when the sliders are in, can we still use the master bed, or if I had the dinette down as a bed can we still use that to sleep on for that overnight stop. Another question is the sliders itself, is one system better than the other?

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

To date Brinkley is the only towable builder I know of to test a closed slide - and only their bed slides. Otherwise I can’t ever tell you it’s ok Regarding best systems see here: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DkgYjoijTNI.html

There is a possibility that some roads will be hard travel , meaning no blacktop. I seen one that was 2600 # dry and topped out at 3300-3400#. Can’t seem to find it now!
