    Kitchen countertop extension and backsplash to the right of the stove are needed. Agree with the comment that the bedside closets should extend full length, possibly with a drawer. I rather like the ones that have the rear cubby--standardizes the cabinet across several models while providing useful space. 👍 Existing design appears to accommodate a king mattress without additional modifications. Cost savings for the manufacturer; inefficient for the owner. Prefer 12V refrigerator--and we boondock (western US). But we have an older rig that we renovated and completely rewired with solar. It took us two years to do 90% of the renovations. We used it for six months to finalize the last few things, and still tweak the odd thing periodically. For the most part, we can stay out about three weeks before dumping/refilling and general restocking. We usually try to stay at a campground with hookups and laundry facilities for two or three nights each month. Laundry, deeper cleaning and general vehicle and rig maintenance. It's amazing what can shake loose when traveling! A little inspection and prevention goes a long way--particularly in an older home or rig. :-) We have standardized bed sizes--home and rig--to queen and twin. Tired of having four sizes of linens! ... Teale 🏜️

For the dining, I'd like to see a hybrid with a bench on the outside wall and 2 chairs next to the theater seat. Bedroom, extend the bedside wardrobes all the way down and do the pockets. I'm assuming they do these this way for the queen\king easy swap. Slide for either a closet or bed, there's probably already several options like that.

    You are 100% correct on your HT= Half Ton Towable comment. I think the auto manufacturers should share responsibility in misleading the public by giving outrageous vehicle weight ratings without the cargo capacity required to take advantage. Oh well. My .02. Also be aware if you go with the 16" wheel option the 3 step Solid Step will be out of MorRyde's height spec. Jayco should put the 4 step version when taking this option.

I have 1960# payload on my truck and really on the limit ... I try to put more stuff in the pantry, and moved the spare tire pass the rear axle to take off a little weight from the pin . I think it helped, just need to go back on the scale to see the new results . Thanks Josh for another great video !!!

    My wife and I purchased a 2023 24RE that was built in December of 2022, We ordered it with the gas /electric 6gal water heater and it came in with the tankless water heater. We do a good bit of camping where there is no water hook up. My wife hates how long it takes to get hot water to the kitchen sink and the wasted water waiting for it. There was a few other items that disappeared from the show room to the delivery but I ordered them after market because they really mattered. Other than that we are happy. I pull this with a 2019 GMC 1500 max tow and have no issues at all towing in the mountains of Western Maryland and West Virginia.

    Half booth two chair is awesome. Flip up counter next to sink would be great. 1 extra foot length would make end tables possible and a little more counter space between fridge and stove would be fabulous. Which would make fold out bed option easier. I actually think that was a fabulous place for the fireplace for a few reasons. A slide for east west and front closet would be perfect. Pretty sure by then we’ve bumped into a whole new model. But this has such great features I hope to see in other models.

    Prefer a propane/electric fridge in every situation. I boondock every so often and I personally wouldn’t buy a R.V. without a fridge that had the option of running on propane. 🤷‍♂️ OR Each manufacturer that does not offer a propane option fridge they must include 1 extra 200w solar panel on the roof from the factory to offset the compressor fridge. Extra. Meaning 2 200w panels. These are the only two options. And I wouldn’t budge.

Can the table easily be made to fold down from the wall...or as others have suggested, be turned 90deg and secured for road mode? Would make the unit completely accessible with slide in. Great review BTW!

    I believe it is an advanced solar system. Everything was done from factory. I can even start the generator if I had one with the iPad. I just can’t figure out where they would’ve put the switch to turn the inverter on instead of me having to go underneath it is an 1800 Watts

    I pretty much have the same options from last year really can't get much easier then this. short, one slide, light weight. This would be perfect for like a 3/4 ton diesel or a gas 3/4 up no half ton like ya said. I feel like a closet slide would make things seem to busy without reconstructing the entire front which isn't worth it. Was in one of these with the craftsmen decor definitely like it alot👍👍

    I'm split on the closet slide idea. I feel like this is already pushing half tons (and really almost none are fit for it). The extra weight wouldn't change the vehicle. The storage could be super handy -- ESPECIALLY if someone wanted to install the W/D unit which would eat all the current closet space BUT.. more weight. More cost. More seals.

    with enough solar battery power, 12v fridge be fine for boondocking, one less expense and stop to make as well, all you need is food and water and beer. far as washing machine in the closet, no problem... just put a rod in the closet behind tv for your coats and work clothes if need be. plenty of room in there for whatever. most clothes are fine folded somewhere, just need to hang your formal out to dinner or work wear really, and coats for cold weather. if i am out camping, chances are i wont have my work suits with me...nor heading out to a 5 star steak house from the camp site... but if full timing and living in it, the closet behind tv is good place for those things if you have the washer installed. no need to add anything extra but a pole to hang things one in there. the everyday tshirts jeans and sweat pants can be folded and stuffed into any drawer or shelf. and nobody puts boxers and socks on a hanger. even if have guests over sleeping it would work well enough... so put on sweats and go get your suit from the living room behind tv.. so i dont really see a need to add any more furniture or storage space or change anything, just put a pole in closet behind tv. you could damn near put a bicycle in there standing front tire to ceiling as it is, it has room for hanging clothes... worst that happens you have to shove them out of the way to get to what on the shelf. like many other standard closets anyway, it just might be a box of cheerios instead of pair of shoes only difference.... i would use space behind tv almost like a safe.. to store things i do not need to get to everyday, and make a way to lock it. good place for ammo, ammo launchers, extra supplies, small toys of all sorts, the big 50lbs pound of dog food, extra clothes etc. so much room in there can put anything in that closet and lock it up safely (if it locked, which it would if i owned this)..... only problem being some of those things are quite heavy lol.... not sure you can put 1400 lbs in the rear right corner lol.... if you were to fill those shelves with freedom fries, you would probably have that entire corner just break off lol.... very cool trailer.... like it as it sits, no dislikes i can think of for the price and size, has all i would want. except i have to buy a pole for tv closet, and a lock mechanism... not hard diy things in the least... one thing about road mode.... what if.. the dining room table could turn sideways like many others of that shape can.. more like a lagoon table, or if free standing, just turn sideways. now you can scoot between it and kitchen counter.... hook it to the wall that way for transport if need be... a 2 dollar bungee cord could do that job.

I'd probably leave the bedroom/bathroom closet, W/D prep area just as it is and use laundromats instead.
