Hi JD, when you opened that front pass through storage the bracket and shelf were laying in there for that side 2 inch receiver. It's a mount for a 22 inch blackstone griddle. Jayco has partnered with them and this is new on most of there units.

Go look at RVs. They all are falling apart before they're sold. With the products designed to be used 40 times before they break. They're a scam. Better off with a nice outfitter's/cabin tent and a generator. Take the amenities with you. Only difference is a bit of set up time

The ottomans can also be used as chairs for the table and the table can be used outside as well. There’s an option for 12v fridge and convection microwave. There’s also small tables that go on the couch for single dining.

Thanks again for another awesome review. This seems like a trailer I’ll need to look into. One thing I’d personally appreciate in your reviews is description of the length. The overall length that includes hitch to back bumper and main body length. I may be mistaken, but it seems that the overall length provided by manufacturers sometimes includes the hitch and sometimes it is only the body without hitch area. (Likely using wrong terminology). Thanks again!

The side mounted 2 inch receiver can handle a flat plate for a Blackstone or there are swing style chairs that are designed for the receiver also one company also makes a hammock holder that fits into the receiver. Also, if someone welds they could make any number of useful camp gadgets that could be mounted there. I think it is a great idea could work on a lot of bigger campers even some fifth wheels.
