lol I'm not joking when I say I always think of you when i see them now

I really like this design and layout. As a person looking at getting a couples camper in the future, this one is almost perfect for what I think I would want. The positives for me are the couch with tables instead of a dinette, true queen bed, the maxair fans, the large pass-through storage, the blind spot radar, upgraded suspension and TPMS. I wish they would include anti-lock brakes, a permanently mounted ladder rated to at least 300 lbs. In the open-faced pantry, remove the shelves and include a trash can and hangers for brooms / mops. The major change I would make and people may disagree with me here is to remove the outside kitchen and make the entertainment center front a door that opens completely and swing towards the bed for pantry storage behind it. This allows for nice viewing from the bed while creating pantry storage. Then the bath could be enlarged and the pantry next to the slide could be moved into the bath as a linen closet. Those are my opinions. As always, your mileage and opinion may differ. :)

Glad to bring something helpful for you to see! What were you considering before?

A couple things I really like about Embers is, they put lighting behind the beside closets and horizontally about the overhead shelf. The offset color in all the door center panels really gives the interior character and depth. Ember has one of the most visually appealing interiors of all the manufactures in my opinion. Their outside decal schemes and colors finish all their units off extremely well, never over done, never too aggressive, always just enough bling to make it look nice. I'm a fan! (not to be confused with a little tea pot).

I think if there was a partition wall between the bedroom and kitchen you could put the Tv on a swivel and have storage in the unit, where the TV is now could be a kitchen counter extension. A bigger cupboard/closet by the door, everyone wears shoes and likes to hang up sweaters and coats. maybe move the fridge over to where the pantry is and the back wall could be storage!!

Might be best for me to just dream and keep my money 💴💵💰 honey 🍯. 1) Love the herringbone design of the floor. 2) Overall it’s a little light color on the interior but I could live with it I think. 3) Question. In the middle above the couch on the trim where the splice cover is; couldn’t they just have made that trim piece out of one long piece of wood? I would’ve made for a better finished look IMHO. 4) I’d keep the queen bed in order to have the nightstand for the cpap. 5) The skylight is neat. 6) Not sure if I understood what you said about the R factor of the windows. Why doesn’t the RV industry just make an argon gas insulated window like we have for our homes? Or at least something equivalent? 7) Radar glow blind spot lights a wonderful touch. 8) Like the gear feature. It condenses everything and makes it less busy. 2 - 20’s I see. 2 - 30’s or 40’s would be nice too, although it would add more hitch weight. 9) Power Jack is nice that it remembers. With the right receiver that adjusts, that would help line up trailer to truck as well. 10) like that they auto tech to campers. Makes them safer. And Yes to ABS. 11) Storage doors didn’t look like that they were big enough to put a second spare tire 🛞 in. Too bad the rear bumper wasn’t beefy enough to hang it on the bumper as well. Guess that’s what the truck bed is for 😆 12) Nicely done as usual Josh. Thanks Nerd.

Oh Ember. You have given us so many surprises and heightened my expectations. And then, there's this one. I appreciate the quality and attention to detail, and of course the skylight. But there is a big X that takes it off my list. What happened to the windows?? No cross breeze? No way to comfortably see your campsite? And the same layout, nothing innovative. The storage is really generous. Doesn't make up for the same old layout and only a little window over the sink. Obviously, not my cup of tea.

Candid answer: They had some black eyes on their record in 2022 at launch Tracking service stats since then they've steadily improved Currently ember overland and touring models are yielding well above average service records. Not perfect of course but I'm not seeing scary stats from them E-series is new so I lack data on those

I can not believe after all these years that they can’t make the slides where you can enjoy them to use in closed position surly they could accomplish that .

That Rockstaff model really is dialed in well. I like how they did the storage around this one's bed and the extra headroom inside though

As a boon docker most of the time I wish you would explain exactly how much power a 12 volt refer uses, is it as much a a light bulb or more. And I’ve seen some people have a power bank you can charge up and use that to power your refer in stead of a generator when the clouds are covering your solar panels Ect, Ect.

Appreciate the constructive feedback. MFGs change fridges all the time so I'm afraid that something that may prove unreliable in a video. In my experience it's something best handled with our local staff on a per-trailer basis to ensure you get correct info that is somewhat camp critical to your situation

Queen bed is fine for me. The pantry cabinets should go all the way to the ceiling vs having a dust collector above. Same with the cabinets in the bedroom. But other than that this is a great looking option for us. I will need to get a new truck. The Toyota Tundra is too light on payload for this once you put passengers and gear in the truck. 😢

They're not that pretty on the outside but man do they do everything right. Ember also gets even better every time a new one comes out. Some things are subjective and thats good. Other things are objective and when it comes to build, Ember is perfect. And nothing beats not having to worry about things or having to spend a lot of time setting up, packing or unpacking. Ember = Total Package. Biggest critique is the bathroom. Nix the shower doors and skylight. Added cost and something to go wrong. Id prefer a couch that is the same length that folds into a good sized bed as well. Obviously a privacy curtain. Otherwise love it 💯 No hippy Burning Man trips for Ember. They're a keeper 🍻

That’s a lot of changes to the unit to get to that price point… no Azdel composite walls or floor, no Goodyear tires, no LCA or TPMS safety features, no European windows, etc. In RVs, you really can say you get what you pay for!

🎉#NerdHerd

More holes in the roof more places that could leak, I do not like the vent window over the bed. It looks like it is made of some kind of plastic. Depending on how long someone plans to own one it will probably crack or break. I am not sure if the entry door is glass, not a fan of glass doors. I like the drop frame for more storage! Light interior color make it feel bigger.

One may look thru the used market for things like older lance truck campers that have been using the same windows for quite some time

Really like this one. Two problems: no room for Raff’s cage, I never leave home without Him and I don’t like that window above the bed. Just my .02.

For years everything was "dinette first - a sofa after that if there's room" But around 2016 to 2018 that really started changing. True "Couples only" models really started catching on like this with a sofa first But like ember mentions they do offer seating swaptions to outfit this one as desired

This would be the perfect trailer for me if it did not have a slide. No slide with a two person dinette and more pantry and it would be perfect. If the TV were to be on it would be background noise in the day. It would mostly only be a bedtime thing. #nerdherd
