@RichardCranium321 Год назад

Now we need a top 5 best value (entry level)... I'm in my 30s, rent to own on a 5 acre plot of land that I plan to put a tow behind or tiny home on while I build my forever home. I'm looking at used rigs but they don't seem to be dropping in price yet, but I feel a crash is coming and then market value for these will be muuuuch cheaper.

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

MFG invoices aren't dropping. Dealers are offering better discounts, but they're not going to sell things at a loss obviously

@RichardCranium321 Год назад

@@JoshtheRVNerd I'm talking about the prices in the used market... I don't expect manufacturers and dealers to take a loss, that'd be a pretty crappy business model, I just know how much raw materials have increased vs spare spending $ decreasing and I thought inflation combined with market demand for new units would've driven prices down on used. I guess everyone had the same thought as me and are wanting a cheaper used unit that's half ton towable

@dinospumoni8860 Год назад

Used prices are a reflection of the new market. I hate to say it but I think with inflation these prices are the new norm. When I got my 2021 alpha wolf I was able to lock in a stellar deal when ordering in October. Msrp 42k got it for 26k. In talking with local dealers found out dealer price for that model was 24k. Now in 2022 the same model best off people are giving is 36k. 10k more cost in just 1 year. Which also means a used one is gonna cost you 5-8k more now depending on condition. And since new prices aren’t gonna go down, used won’t either. Because of the crazy inflation we have had used prices got a reset and now will depreciate based on that permanent increase.

@shannonstewart4792 Год назад

Richard, Good for You! Good to see another dude working hard at a young age. Having your own land at such a young age is commendable. Keep it forever and buy an acre a year if you can. Now if you looking for an affordable truck see if you can hook up with a used car dealer in the Florida area and try and get one directly from a dealer auction. It will be all cash and you may have to give the dealer a couple hundred to get you in but you'll be able to get a great truck at a decent price. Good luck brother. Ride life till the wheels fall off💪

@kathrynhodsoll9043 Год назад

Watching this it really confirmed we got the floor plan we love. We tow with a 2016 VW Touareg, and we ended up with the WolfPup 16TS. We didn't want a slide, and the bright rear dinette really sold us on the floor plan.

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

Man I don’t remember them making many of that layout! Rare find

@michaelr9151 Год назад

All these are great but my vote is for the 178bhsk especially after they up graded with the full pass thru in the front. We bought ours in your home store and have loved using it this summer. As I told Josh when I met him in person THANK YOU for putting out great content on all his vedios. With his guidance on the reviews is how we found our trailer. Keep up the outstanding job everyone benefits from all of your hard work.

this sort of thing is why I like your channel Josh. You try and react to what your clientel/viewers actually want in as close to real time as you can. That's noty an easy task. This is why you're my goto channel for thourough reviews of RVs/Travel trailers...just wish you'd do more toy haulers and class As/Cs

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

I know this channel is very heavy on travel trailers and conventional fifth wheels, but that’s also what I have the chance to get my hands on the most. I’ve tried to capture more different things this year will continue to have a focus on that moving forward

@ashnouveau Год назад

I swear, my husband and I have been researching fifth wheels and toy haulers for about 4 months. I swear I just need someone that just cares about us finding what we need. :( It's so hard deciding ....your videos have helped a bunch, but we are stumped.

@terryglover6361 Год назад

Lol! There were 2 of those little "retro" campers in each color on the lot when we bought our Wildcat last year. A guy came in the sales room and said "I'll take those two out there!" and pointed at them. He was so excited!

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

Frankly I think they’d make for a really fun weekend

@gregd4391 Год назад

I think you have covered some of this info, but it would be great to see a video that covers "overlanding" trailers capable of boodocking that can be towed by a mid-size (Tacoma). I'm not talking about the "extreme" overlanding trailers like BRX Trailers or Black Series. I mean more mainstream trailers with bathroom, full-size queen, 4-season... that are capable of some off roading. Maybe one episode for bunkhouse and another for couples trailer.

@Lexie1530 6 месяцев назад

You made a video of a Rockwood 2204S which would fit in this video perfectly as a couples camper we purchased a used 2022 model. This has plenty-o-storage, a twin/king bed option, one slide with u-dinette (recliners were an option for this model, I think) two axles and weighs in under your 5,000 lbs capacity. We have had it 6 months and LIVE it! Thanks for showing us this one because we have not been disappointed!

@JoshtheRVNerd 6 месяцев назад

I’m afraid that one is well over the weight target for this video but it is definitely a cool camper!

The wildwood fsx has a great layout!! Very unique. I would add the Apex Nano 185BH, 186BH (new model) and 194bhs. I towed the 194 with my Lexus GX460 (6500 tow capacity, 1400 payload). It was a piece of cake.

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

Hey Josh...my favorite of these has to be the Wildwood 169 FSX. I really like what they did here with that bedroom slide.

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

I asked manufacture why they aren’t using those ones. I was advised the suppliers of those types of Systems cannot keep up with the high-volume production of the RV industry so they tend to be more of an aftermarket item with the exception of a few lower volume niche brand

@johnurbanski8486 Год назад

Good selection. You talk about the single axle "wiggle" We just traveled over 1,000 miles for 6 days through the PA mountains with a Surveyor 19 RBLE and no wiggle. Tracked straight on the interstate as well as the mountain roads. I think the type of hitch may have a lot do with it. Ours has an anti- sway bar that is adjustable.

Thanks for doing a video of trailers we can actually tow! Has anyone done the "R&D" thingy of the Wildwood 169RSK floor plan in a tandem axle yet?

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

Not that I've seen. It takes time to make new models. There likely hasn't been enough time for a MFG to even attempt it

@larrysack2476 Год назад

@@JoshtheRVNerd Wow! Your videos are right on the bleeding edge of what's new. Thanks for bringing the latest in RVs.

@codeman99-dev Год назад

I cannot believe you did not include the Apex Nano 194BHS. It might be a common floor plan, but it arguably gives you the best windows in that layout. Of course, I'm a bit biased as that's what I own :P

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

It’s so hard trying to boil these lists down to specific things. That was definitely one that was up for consideration.

Hey Josh, thanks for the awesome videos! I would love your thoughts on the Coleman Lantern 17bh campers. Thanks!!

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

Those are an offshoot of the Dutchman aspen trail series that is exclusive to the Camping World stores. As a result I don’t get a lot of chance to put hands on them. They’re intentionally built for an incredibly aggressive price point which means things like an electric heater and no traditional propane furnace. I’m not knocking them though. That doesn’t make those bad features or a bad RV. If you’re looking for something lighter in duty for a lower price point, then they make sense. I also see plenty of viewers report good experiences with them here but again I have no personal hands-on experience with them

What do you think of a keystone hideout 177rd. Recently purchased it and took it to 9 states and it was perfect… but it’s a little small. It’s a perfect layout for us.

@mikec8123 Год назад

Hey Josh I have a off subject question. Has your opinion changed for EZ lube axles from a 2018 video? My dealer quoted $500 to repack and check everything for a tandem axle. Seems a little high.

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

My concern with the easy loop hubs is you never really know how much grease you have in there. And extra grease basically loses out in a way that it could affect things like your breaks. I fully understand how it could be used properly, but in my experience I really see them done that way and I see people grease that breaks unintentionally There’s simply is no way to know if you were properly greased without having that hub open

Josh, how about your Top Ten Tandem axle couples trailers under 7,500 max gvwr?! But you only get under 2 minutes for each model to keep the video at 20 minutes or less! :)

@JoshtheRVNerd Год назад

It’s a good idea. I like that 7500 pound rating as it opens up opportunities for a lot of midsize pick ups. Thank you

Hi Josh :) can you please find out the manufacturer of that radius shower curtain door thing going on in the rockwood geopro? I just got a jay feather micro 166fbs and I really need to upgrade to one of those but can’t find anything! I will contact forest river too but wanted to see if you had any insight on that.

Hey Josh. Would love to see what you think of the surveyor ledgend 19RBLE. I am also wondering what upgrades are coming in the 2023 version. We have a 2021 and it is great. The storage is amazing. Anyway if you have the time check it out.
