Cougar is stepping up! Looks great! Would look even better if the sides were smoother that would really set off the paint. Don't like the dual bathroom sinks or the bathroom floor vent. But looking to update sometime in the next couple years and this would get itself on the list!

I love the colour of this paintwork, and decor throughout is really nice. It’s great that they’ve got enough comfy seating for more than 2. I’d be torn between the booth (for extra sleeping) or table and chairs for desk function. I love that the kitchen is so well appointed, and there’s pretty good storage in the kitchen and bedroom. I’d prefer one sink and more counter space in the bathroom but that’s not really a deal breaker. I really like that the shower is a good size! That shelf above the bed is not appropriate for a cpap machine at all, I’m with you on the phone charging spot. Great that they have washer and dryer prep. The floor vents are still something I’m not so keen on, although I’ve seen people say they are new and better designed. It’s great that the kitchen has outlets but I’m nervous of the towers being where they are, I’m a real spiller, I worry I’ll blow all the electrics! Pretty nice storage underneath the camper too. I bet you could do some overnight stealth camping in this!

I prefer the booths. Was amazed the angle that tv could stretch to! Is there an option for cabinet/counter top color? Big fan of pocket doors. Would prefer one sink in the bathroom. Then you'll have a better use of vanity space. Would prefer a Queen size bed. King looks a bit crammed in there. Never saw a hanging rack in a closet before. Interesting. Appreciate you showing the slides in. From one nerd to another-- I like the outside fantom grey color too! Thanks for giving us a view of this one.

While I'm happy more RV manufacturers are putting seats in showers now (as someone who often needs to sit while showering it's helpful & then I wouldn't have to bring my shower stool) but could they stop putting shelves over the seat?! It kinda defeats the purpose of the seat! I swear I'd be knocking every bottle down when I'd be washing my hair! 😂😂 🤦🏻‍♀️

Two sinks in an RV bathroom is a waste of space and just tells you that the designer is ignoring reality - when are you ever going to stand side by side in the bathroom with your partner and used both sinks at the same time? Whereas with a single sink you can have more countertop AND a better drawer stack - with the toilet position open storage would make sense to that side of the bathroom cabinet

@derikdevasconcelos6709 4 ай бұрын

Hey Josh, I have been watching a bunch of your videos. Me and the wife are starting to consider getting back into another trailer again. I was curious if there is such thing as a travel trailer that's 25-31ft that has all the nice stuff of for example a Cougar but with the amenities of a toy hauler such as large black, grey, and fresh tanks, generator or atleast a generator prep, gas electric fridge, and and a really good cargo capacity also a good solar setup. Preferably something that isn't a bunk house? So far the only bunk house that we are open to is the 30bhs from cougar or transcend also makes a identical bhs but that's a stick n tin. We would be doing alot of long hauls so Preferably a fiberglass trailer. Reason I'm asking for something with "toyhauler amenities" is because we want to beable to dry camp without having to be frugal with power and water usage or loading the trailer with all our stuff if it came down to it.

@JoshtheRVNerd 4 ай бұрын

Common travel trailers in that size almost never have allowances for on board generators due to how much space they demand. Northwood / ORV would be the answers here but they’re regional to the west

Is the Cougar roof a PVC roof (lifetime warranty) and are the water lines prepped with separate cutoff valves?

@JoshtheRVNerd 4 ай бұрын

*ROOF:* Their membrane is called Alpha Super Flex. It has its own lifetime warranty. *BUT* important to understand "Lifetime roof warranty" applies only to the SKIN of the roof and not the full construction. Those "lifetime" roof warranties also prorate really _really_ hard *WATER VALVES:* They do not include that Alliance-style cutoff for each valve

We like the Alliance features with the PVC roof, 25 year floor warranty, solar setup, water pipe manifold, etc…

@JoshtheRVNerd 4 ай бұрын

I've spoken with the folks at Alliance. They haven't seen a lot of frame issues (some certainly but not a lot).
