  • Hi Everyone,

    We hope you enjoyed our video! Which small travel trailer perfect for beginners did you like best? Please say hello by leaving a comment below!
    Also, please feel free to ask any questions or just tell us about yourselves. We want to get to know you and share our RV experiences.

  • Grand Design hands down for me. Obvious quality.

  • I enjoy your videos and newsletter and have learned a lot

  • We recently purchased Coachman Clipper 17FQF and love it. Perfect size for couple and easy set-up. Best features, though are walk around queen and BIG bathroom. Might want to show it in future video

  • Hi Mike and Susan…
    I loved the Grand Design, it had some very interesting things..
    I would like to see just a fabric headboard that tilts up..
    The headboard in all 3 seemed like you lost vital inches in an already shorter bed
    Thanks for sharing

  • On the Grand Design Imagine AIM 15BH "last one" w/that huge amount of counter space, there are no outlets. Not one outlet from dining area into the roomy kitchen. What are you gonna do? Run extension cords for the coffee maker, toaster etc.? Designers at Grand Design were asleep on that one.

  • 2nd trailer is a total joke! Small sink…small fridge….small dinette just terrible. Wouldn't take it for a legit 5k off.

  • I love the last one, but what I would do with the last one I would remove the top bunk and tell them to put some cabinets up there❤❤

  • "Head of the bed looks the wrong way" proceeds to show a diagram of the layout that shows head of the bed is the other side 🤦

  • I liked the last one the best for the features. I also liked the first one for a budget friendly option. The second one I did not like.

  • I liked the last one, but I only saw one receptacle 110v in the hold trailer. Did I miss them. Also hot water and soap does a good job washing hands. No matter where it come from.

  • The Grand Design is by far the best. All three of these are definitely couples campers. Can you Susan do another video on small bunk houses?
    Thank y’all for the support keep up the good work 🤠👍

  • So far the first one was great w the large sink in the kitchen love it.

  • I would not waste my money on any of these new travel trailers! I have never seen such cheap construction. I would be afraid that pieces would be falling off as I went down the road!

  • Where r the outlets for the grand design in the kitchen counter top

  • Boy, that first camper was really cheap looking. Who else noticed how flimsy it was. And that television setup was laughable. What a joke.

  • Thanks for all the hard work you put into this. It's much appreciated as my wife and I are actively looking for a small camper to tow behind our van that's already set up with pretty much all the solar you could need even for the added camper. We realize we will be needing more room and that a smaller camper is the way we want to go. I don't know that I can pick a favorite but we're going to watch your next video for RV NEWBIES.

  • The Imagine is my favorite of these. I love the Kitchen and the layout would be great for me.

  • Mike & Susan,
    Well done on the video!
    Thank you for sharing your height during your most excellent bathroom assessment… I presume you are 6'0" with sneakers on???

    I greatly appreciate your PRACTICAL sit and elbow test of the throne!

    I'm most pleased with the Grand Design Imagine AIM15B, but my empty weight limit goal is <3000 lbs & <350 lbs tongue.

    Cheers, Eric

  • These are great, kinda like my Wildwood FSX. I wanted my wife to have the Murphy but the kitchen bed was too short. I made the kitchen seat at the door slidable to extend the bed 6in. No climbing over anymore and we sleep great.

  • The 15BH is the best out of all of them. Still needs some changes to make it perfect. Take the dinette out and put a couch in that can seat 4 adults. Also put storage cabinets above that window (can make the window a little smaller). Shrink the bunk bed width down to 38 inches wide (38×80 is twin xl size). No need for bigger on bunk. With those changes I think that would be the perfect 4 family little travel trailer!

  • i like the simplicity of these models but i dont like the under bed storage, might introduce expsoure from outside temp

  • I don’t see why they build them where a toilet is so close to a bed , one very thin “wall” between them . Yuck

  • These campers suck and we'll tell you why:
    1. Put the round leather couch that folds out to a queen size bed where the bed is
    2. Take the dinette out and put the other round soft leather couch that folds out to a bed make the table optional !
    3. Take out that dumb refrigerator and because you can go clear to the ceiling, put in the big Residential Refrigerator and freezer!
    4. The countertop is big enough for a Jenn-Air 3 to 4 burner with a grill for grilling steaks in salmon!
    5. You put the 50 inch big screen TV where it's embedded in the ceiling and folds down when you want to watch it on the other end of the camper from the two couches!
    6. You put the convection oven in microwave in but we need a (real oven) underneath the Jenn-Air with Grill
    Now that we've remodeled this camper that should never been built we can go camping on the bottom of this camper and on the sides and top for Energy Efficiency we would like to see our 50 a 40-gallon propane tank in the front

  • Do any of these these have AC, awnings? And what is the insulation system/shells made of? THank you, good info!!

  • #3 has EVERYTHING that meets my needs and the kitchen my wants as a cook

  • I liked the autumn Ridge the most. The setup was really nice. Not very fond of the walls in the shower being like that or that they were very sparse. I did fully like the corner bathroom sink.

    The last two I wasn’t very fond of. And fully didn’t understand the shower controls being so low on the second one. The bathroom on the third one was too weird. I like the shower, and the retractable sink, but the toilet set up was ridiculous. I’m not a fan of the bunkbeds, either, even though they were able to be stowed, but I would’ve liked to seen them be able to go fully against the wall. The huge L-shaped kitchen area was cool with plenty of counter space

  • SO the Bath water knobs are for kids, really? So they build, they know but put them incorrectly

  • i liked #2 and the las one for the space on both

  • You mention adding a retractable shower curtain for less than $100 what brand is that cheep? I'd love to add one to my Riverside Retro 135!

  • These people don't look at reviews of the products they recommend. They recommended a KZ Sportman and everyone of the owners on the reviews said it was a piece of crap and buy something else. Just because it seems like a value might make it the most expensive purchase ever.

  • The Grand Design is the winner for me and the 60"x80" will get me every time. I long for the day when a murphy bed model will be a full queen size. The bathroom sink is not a problem for us.

  • Must have a bathroom sink! Don't want "germy" hands touching the bathroom door knob and then the kitchen faucet. Totally gross and unsanitary!

  • So many dinettes .. do people still want them on these small trailers?

  • What tow vehicle do you need? How hard is it to tow a travel trailer? Is it hard to set up at a campsite?
