I had this exact floor plan from KZ. It was a great trailer for hunting/fishing trip. I could take places you would not imagine. I ended up giving to my nephew to live in to save money while in college. I bought it brand new in 2011 and he still lives in it today.

Cute little camper. Ours is a 14 foot similar to this. Easy to tow. Easy to park, but taking the table down to make into a bed every night is a hassle and those tables are not light. Hard to get them on the narrow rails that support them. In the little bathroom your knees touch the door on a sit down. An older person is not going to enjoy getting down on your hands and knees to get items out of the fridge. These are great for two people but add a mastiff dog and it gets crowded!!! But for comfort they are much better than a tent and a lot less trouble than a popup.

First, I'm not one who owns a camper or RV but, I do enjoy watching the videos. I was surprised at the cost of such a small camper trailer. Then again, I still think a pair of jeans should cost $20! I agree with you, it looks very 'sterile', could be more 'homey' looking.

This was extremely helpful! I'm looking at a used Baja version of this trailer and watching this video beforehand was very useful. Thanks for taking the time to post the info. I particularly like the technical info about towing considerations. I would not have thought a trailer this light would need a sway control hitch but since you mention it's light and wind could cause problems, that makes perfect sense. Thank you!

In case of rain, you could just sit on the couch bench to eat. Great concise space. Love that there are no slides! :)

I’m a single senior and have the 2016 version of this trailer. It has a front window and a lighter colour interior (fabric instead of vinyl seating all around). Much prefer the interior of mine. Apparently Jayco has had supplier issues for front windows so they are missing on a number of 2021 models. Too bad. It is a great little trailer though and fits in some of those tight campsite spaces. Tows perfectly fine with Chev Colorado.

It's a shame this model was discontinued. It seems like most manufactures have dropped this style of floor plan.

I would add a few more windows. One over the sink. One in front. A vented peeper window in the door. And enlarge the two side windows. Add a frosted stinker window above the toilet. I would also consider going all solar electric. Remove gas entirely, place a full length flush mount solar panel on the roof. Add a high capacity lithium battery to the front. Install or at least prewire a backup or rear view camera. Add a plug up front for CPAP and electronics plug ins.
