I have not seen the Emperor nip, but he might. Both tanks look "fine", which is a far cry from where they were.

Nitrate tests at under 10 (2.1 on most recent) on Hanna Checker

Just traditional bikes. I don't know what the weight limit is on the bike rack.

Under the Murphy bed

@@terranncegilmore thanks but that’s insane. Magnetic radiation from an inverter is very high. I’d recommend repositioning it to outside and housed in a nickel plated box…or at least the latter. I would consider this trailer or the 16.1 but not if the inverter is sitting under the bed

This is the fav cover: MAXXAIR 00-955002 Black Fanmate Fan/ Vent Cover with Ez Clip Installation Hardware a.co/d/0RKnDkh The hanging organizers were from IKEA, but similar to these: GRANNY SAYS 3-Shelf Hanging Closet Organizer and Storage, Collapsible Hanging Closet Shelves, Hanging Organizer for Closet & RV, Gray, 29 ¾" H X 12" W X 12" D, 1-Pack a.co/d/hLCziAj

Thank you. I pick one up soon, and just saw your video after I ordered, very helpful to see what I can go ahead and be prepped to do.

It is, but there is a process to get it to switch over. I found a video that I cannot seem to locate now.

We were really very torn. The dealership had both on the lot, and we walked back and forth between the two for at least an hour. There are a few differences between the two. 1. The R-Pod is like 8" narrower or so. 2. The front window I mentioned. 3. The cabinet color and finishes. 4. Refrigerator is smaller in the R-Pod 5. No curtains on the bunks We were worried that we were upgrading, and could end up wishing we had just gone with the bigger camper. The R-Pod is still at the dealership and is clearance priced. We've joked that we'd trade the NoBo for the R-Pod, it really was that close of a call between the two. The NoBo has a bit more of an "Offroad" vibe, whereas the R-Pod has more of a "Fancy" vibe.

@@terranncegilmore Thanks for the info! I thought the TV placement in the R-Pod was a little weird too. Hopefully we’ll be able to tour both units at the upcoming RV show this month.

Don't know

It's interesting the little differences. I addressed most of my complaints in the video. After a few months of ownership and a few trips, we couldn't be happier with it.

We loved it. With the family growing we wanted something bigger. But the E-Pro was great

You took the bike rack off, the camera, a few goodies. Smart 👍

We're in Western NY, so far the heat hasn't been an issue. We're planning out the first weekend of November, so we'll see how it does in the cold.

We just bought the 2023 20.4 and was hoping to cold weather camp on our property in the mountains of NC. It does get windy and cold. We just left and are heading back for a week in November. Forest river said not to under 32 degrees which is concerning.

Forgot to add we are pretty rural and gravel off roads were a little rough. The Curt suspension is definitely not a gimmick nothing moved inside and towed great. I am towing with a 2020 F250 7.3 liter and was not happy going from 17mpg down to 7mpg in the hills and mountains then getting around 8.5mpg

What camper did you find that was better insulated?

Thanks for the comment. My Suburban is the 6.2, I get around 10-ish MPGs towing. The truck has air suspension, which kicks on when it senses a load. So between that and the WDH, there is basically no squat. The back end drops less than a half inch. I have Lynx Levelers that stay in the camper for the support jacks. I cannot speak to a roof mounted tent. It is already pretty high up.

@@terranncegilmore Thanks! The caddy has the air leveling system, so we are basically on the same platform, minus I would rather have your tranny. Looking at how the rack tracks are installed, would you feel confident even using them for anything or would that worry you about issues later? I have reservations about TT roofs and not messing with them much.

@@worldwidewebbs8420 I wouldn't add any height to the trailer. I already worry about going under bridges and such

We still really like it. We've now taken a handful of shorter and longer trips. I tried to be very fair in my review. There are things we didn't love. But a lot of it was easily fixable.

I actually don't like the ones I bought. They have a really bright blue LED that I had to cover with black nail polish

Cool comment.

UMMMMMMM

I didn't even notice so I guess it's just sensitives haters that do

you are right. annoying

Could you please not be a Karen about the um. It’s a petty thing.

We haven't gotten into a situation where I can speak on it. With 200 AH, we have enough battery to go days if necessary just running the fridge and a few lights. The unplugged package felt like a huge up charge.

T5s run from 12-4. Kessils ramp up from 5 am- 11pm, but really only high from 10-4

I personally would not tow this with anything less than a vehicle with like 7,000# towing capacity. I towed it with a Chevy Colorado (7,700#s) and it did OK. My wife's VW Atlas (5,000#s) not so much.

An old MH/T5 hybrid that I ripped the T5 components out of

@@terranncegilmore looks fantastic!!! i'm trying to figure out how to put two kessils in my 6-bulb ATI T5. But i'm afraid to drill a hole thru the top of it! i am trying to figure out a bracket/idea i could use to angle my Kessil 360s from the front side of the ATI silver fixture. like maybe get a piece of alluminum and drill into the front of the fixture and bend it down a bit and attach the 360s. if you have any engineering thoughts let me know!!! =)

@@lisademayo8589 I once modded an 8 bulb T5 fixture for Radions by removing the inner bulbs. Maybe remove the inner two bulbs and hand the Kessils in between

@@terranncegilmore Hmm. Do you happen to remember on the ATI, if one bulb is removed, the other bulb in the channels wont work? Is it like a circuit? I cant remember and i can't reach my bulbs without a stepstool. lol

@@lisademayo8589 Yes, but I don't remember which bulbs

I cannot speak to the towing on your Explorer. I was towing this with a 2021 Chevy Colorado, with a listed towing capacity of 7,700. We just had a baby and upgraded to a 2019 Chevy Suburban that tows 8,300, so capacity is no issue for us. The Colorado towed it fine, with a weight distribution hitch. The Suburban tows it like it's not there. As far as the camper itself, it is still like brand new. We've taken a few long trips, from WNY to Michigan, SC, NC etc. We continue to LOVE it.

I agree with everything you said here. We still absolutely love the camper. I've looked at the Mini Lite 2509s, which we really like, the only issue is, we don't need/want the Murphy bed. I don't know if there is an option to go with a traditional bed with storage underneath

@@terranncegilmore Yes....with you needing bunks in a small trailer, it does limit the floorplans. The 2509S you mention does give up the full width pass through because of the Murphy Bed design they went with (they know most people hate "bendy beds" where the mattress folds, so their Murphy Bed does not fold the mattress). Check out the video I'll link below. Josh is outstanding at pointing out whats great and what sucks about every trailer. The 2509S does have some very interesting exterior storage (plus under the Murphy Bed's couch) that helps make up for not having the typical front pass through. Take a look at the video....Also, search his channel for his "walk through" of your trailer, I'm sure he will point out some things you were unaware of. I'm really glad you still like your trailer so much. Tells me my research is spot on about these being so well done! ua-cam.com/video/SmzR_RxPSmQ/v-deo.html

@@terranncegilmore We decided against a Murphy bed trailer too. We knew after the honeymoon period the pulling down and folding up to get a sofa would get annoying. In some trailers the slide can't go out if the bed isn't in the correct position. We prob would have ended up leaving it down a lot and being annoyed. We like a larger BR and cabinets even though there's no pantry. There is sone storage under the bed, and if people want to hassle it, they can remove the tops of the bedside "tables" and put in a protective panel and have more storage. Kind of tempting actually. lol ours is an FBS

We absolutely love it.
