We bought our no slide Go Play 26 BH a couple of weeks ago and couldn't be happier. Our first indication of a major issue with our previous camper was a malfunctioning slide. That was it! Back to a no slide for us. We love the classic layout of the 26 BH, ;a "couples" camper for grandparents accommodating an occasional visit from our grandson.

Consumers need to do their research. Rent FIRST before buying. Don’t buy into the commercials that advertises a very affordable monthly payment or the huge American flag 🇺🇸 on a pole. Take their time to buy. So what if someone else buys the camper that they were interested in. They’ll make another. Research to find your second camper the first time around. The manufacturers need to change their warranty work model and copy the auto industry. Let people be able to take their camper to any dealer that carries that brand for service for repair work. Dealers need to be honest every step throughout the sales process and try and scam the consumer. Basically it is a three way partnership. If everyone is honest and does the right thing then in theory there will be no problems.

Agreed but a good number of manufacturers and suppliers need to get their act together and build them better (without rum!).

Hey Uncle Josh, another great video. May I offer a suggestion for a future video to be aired during the month of September? September is National Preparedness Month. This is the month set aside by FEMA, states, and local governments to educate the public on surviving during a disaster or some type of emergency. When SHTF, government agencies and services can be overwhelmed and services may not be readily available. People need to learn how to take care of themselves for the first 72 hours. One thing that you need is shelter. RV owners have an advantage during any “bug out” situation, that is, you have your housing already. It’s just a matter of finding a place to set it up, having the fuel needed to cook or run the utilities. This is important and something that the average Joe six pack doesn’t consider. I’m the President of my town and every day during the month of September I publish tips, ideas, and suggestions from a variety of sources to educate the public. I offer this suggestion to give you time to create a video which may increase sales for Bish’s. Surely you sell a camper that would meet the need for most people in this regard.

As always on your lists, you put together my favorites and even though I'm looking for new suggestions to check out, I just fall more in love with the models you show off! I don't remember the model number to the bigger one but the 16ml and it's big brother are some really awesome models and I'm already seeing other manufacturers put out their spin on a "tiny home"-esque RV. I do wish the bigger one did the same thing as the 16 though, I want the "master" to be in the loft instead of on the ground floor. Then use the extra length to expand the living and kitchen spaces. I get what they did but when you look at tiny homes, the beds are in lofts due to the amount of square footage a bedroom takes up and what you could do with that space instead of dedicating it specifically to sleeping. Very excited to see what is to come from this idea!

The Freedom Express 22SE is intriguing. The bench dinette isn't pleasantly plump friendly, but could be worked around with our 8yrs old sitting on a stool at the end for eating or sitting at the sofa with a stowaway table later on. The bunks are great being double-sized and the true queen is helpful for us. The window coverings are great too. I didn't see in this shorter video, but what kind of A/C does it come with? If it's the super noisy kind that's a deal breaker. Appreciate these videos Josh! Really helping us to narrow down what we'd like for a family travel trailer.

For those that like the Jayco 212QB (over the 210QB), you can still get it this year, but it is being discontinued after this year. I just picked mine up 2 weeks ago. Been eye balling this trailer for the last 1.5 yrs. Was going to wait until next year, but learned it was on the chopping block because it was a bit too much money for being the entry model to the Jay Flight line. I didn’t care for the lack of features on the 210QB and the older looking corrugated aluminum on the nose.

Hello Josh: Thanks for all the great videos packed with useful information.Question regarding the new tankless water heaters. I live in Canada and really enjoy early and late season camping when the temperatures are very close to 32 degrees fahrenheit. We always camp in provincial parks where there are no water hook ups so the tank is filled with water and it quickly cools down to the outdoor temperature. I have heard that these heaters are only capable of raising the temperature of the water from the tank by 50 or 60 degrees. If the tank water is 70 degrees to start with that is no problem, however up here in the frozen north if my tank water is sitting at 35 degrees adding 60 degrees makes for a very cold shower. Can you tell me if this is the case or are you able to adjust the output temperature. Probably not the most appropriate question for a video that is primarily focused on trailers with no slides, but enquiring minds need to know! Thanks very much

@@JoshtheRVNerd oh that's interesting! I wonder if it's the target price and buyer. It's too bad because it's a great layout. We looked at a used 2018 Jayco version while shopping last year, but it was horribly run down.

I really like the Jayco 210QB, but would like to see it flipped. Dinette in the front with a front window, and the bed on the back. I like the Gray Wolf 20RDSE too, but would like to see it flipped also.

I have done a lot of looking and wztch most of what you produce. Does ANYONE still build a front U dinette? I find side dinettes cramped unless they are in a super slide. One other thing to pass on since you have some clout. If a camper sleeps 6 needs to seat 6 for dinner. I have toured trailers that sleep 8 and have a tiny cramped dinette lucky to seat 4. I have owned a wilderness with TWO U dinettes. Sleep 6 seat 7 or 8. A Fan she was a BEAST 24ft 10,000 lb front U dinette center bunks. Sleep six seat 6. I installed a removable table between bunks for kids sleep 6 seat 10. Thanks for your time I appreciate what you do.

They sold known defects and then let the mfg take the heat In 2023 models their records improved greatly And again for 24’s Overland and touring are currently performing well overall
