Hi Everyone, We hope you enjoyed our video! Which small camper with a Murphy Bed did you like best? Do you prefer a travel trailer, motorhome or 5th wheel? Please say hello by leaving a comment below and sharing your opinion about these RV floor plans.

The Jayco Jay Feather is the one for me, but with all the horror stories I hear about all the defects & EVERYTHING going wrong with the new models AND the manufactures NOT making good and buying back the lemons, I'll try my luck with an older used model.

@RVBlogger Ай бұрын

We also recommend getting an inspection wether you buy new or used. But if you buy used there is a chance that some of the bugs would be worked out. Thanks for watching! Mike

Mike makes a good point in the comments. If i can afford to buy an RV, I'm definitely paying for an independent inspection. Maybe Mike and Susan could do a video on inspections. 😊

@RVBlogger 25 күн бұрын

Maybe we could make a video about why inspections are so important and we can interview an RV Inspector - lord knows we know quite a few RV inspectors. Thanks for the suggestion! Mike

All three of those are awesome !! However, the Jayco by far has it all to a T !! Thanks y'all, safe travels !!

Jayco does a great job with their floor plans and from the comments it looks like most folks like it the best! Thanks for commenting! Mike

@josephfoster1445 Ай бұрын

I think it always comes down to a combination of features. Theater seating is great (no need to close the bed) with the side to side bathroom. It's tough to not vote for the Jayco....

The Jayco Jay Feather wins (in my humble opinion). 1st - It has my required (deal breaker) 2 axiles. 2nd - True Half-ton towable 3rd - Awesome Features

Forest River has fixed their Murphy beds so the mattress doesn’t stick out so badly. The JayCo has a nice layout, that slide helps make it seem much bigger! All showers seem small though. Good video, thanks!

We'd like to see some rv's for senior citizens who are large and overweight.

@RVBlogger Ай бұрын

I'm sorry but the manufacturers don't have a target audience of senior citizens who are overweight. So they don't make RVs for that demographic specifically. We have made a couple videos about the best RVs for taller folks and thats about as close as we can get I think. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion. Mike

Flagstaff has had the Murphy bed locking mechanism in place for several years. Our 21DS has the same. It is recommended to pull the release both when letting the bed down and when lifting up. We stand at the foot of the bed in the middle and can pull the release, no problem.

Hi Mike and Susan! My first, ever, comment (new fan on your channel). I love the 1st rv, Forest River, layout! I wish I could find that layout here in Europe. For some reason, every rv have to have a fixed bed that will eat alot of space and all layouts are made so you'll have to much, and not much of an open space, never makes any sense... A rv is a space to relax, can't do that here in Europe, they did not evolve.

@RVBlogger Ай бұрын

Hello! Thanks for your first comment!!! I'm surprised by your comment. Usually people form Europe say the US RVs haven't evolved. Just goes to show that everyone camps differently and has different wants and needs. But the multifunctional space a Murphy Bed provides really makes a camper more spacious inside. Thanks for watching and commenting! We hope to see you again! Mike

@karladavies1773 Ай бұрын

Gotta be the last one, although the fold in the Murphy bed gives me pause

@RVBlogger Ай бұрын

The fold in the Murphy Bed is an issue if the fold is from the middle to the the top third of the mattress. If the fold is at the top third you could reorient the mattress so the fold is at the bottom third but then you have to move the mattress each time you open and close your Murphy bed. I think its best to find Murphy Beds with no fold. Good observation! Mike

@jimclark6243 Ай бұрын

My grail is a trailer with Theater seating with tv directly across, North/South bed, double axel, less than 500 lb hitch weight, 4,000 lbs unloaded max weight. This would be towable for a 4Runner. Until then, my Sonic 200 vml is the closest I've ever found.

@RVBlogger Ай бұрын

That's a great combo for a trailer but its really tough to find a dual axle trailer under 4,000 lbs. We haven't seen the 200 VML but we will keep an eye for one! Thanks for your comment! Mike

@RVBlogger Ай бұрын

Hi Donnette, Good catch! In the Jayco they show it with theater seating but for an additional $30 you can upgrade to the tri fold sofa (in place of the theater seats) which will allow for up to 4 people to sleep in this trailer. Thanks! Mike

I have taken a couple of hard looks at the rock staff trailers but the deal killer is the frameless windows that only open a inch for air flow . Hay Mike and Susan have you guys done a review of any of the Grand design HIT trailers?

@RVBlogger Ай бұрын

We have the frameless windows in our class A that only open about 3" and we find that we have to use our Maxx Air Fan so create air movement through the rig. It does work but its a little noisy. We haven't seen any of the HIT trailers yet but we are on the lookout for them. Stay tuned!

@gildaparrish6551 Ай бұрын

i am in a wheelchair and wish that you would measure the front door width and walk way width. do you think it is possible to start doing that?

@RVBlogger Ай бұрын

I don't think we will be covering that option because we find that very few RVs are ADA compliant anyway. I would check Winnebago and Newmar for their line of handicap accessible rigs. Here are the links. www.newmarcorp.com/wheelchair-accessible/ www.winnebago.com/models/motorhomes/accessibility-enhanced Hope this helps you out! Mike

@sherettasharif1358 Ай бұрын

They should make a fold down table and a place to store seating for it where the booth seating always is 🤔

I have been thinking the same thing but I haven't figured out how to do that. Great idea though!

Please say if campers you review are hot water tankless..!!!!!!

@RVBlogger Ай бұрын

Can you clarify? You want me to say what? If they have a water heater or if they have on demand hot water? We don't cover those details in our reviews because we do three reviews in each video and if we cover every feature then the videos would be too long. I have to ask this but will the type of water heater really matter that much anyway? Either way you get hot water. Thanks for watching! Mike

There are plenty of videos about starlink and alternatives. We made one too. You can check it out here but be aware that T-mobile Home is no longer a good option. We can't edit our videos once we post them on KZfaq, (and neither can anyone else) so that part of our video no longer applies.

Jayco wins.. 1. The layout is great with all that floor space 2. Unlike Grand Design, this jayco has Azdel inside and outside. 3. Unlike Grand Design again, Jayco uses plywood instead of cheaper OSB 4. 2 year bumper to bumper warranty and 3 on the structure.. Best in the industry. (And yes, I know GD isn't in this video but the 17MKE is the true competitor)
