This video SOLD us on this model. We purchased it this spring and ABSOLUTELY love it. In fact, this video and purchasing this model, started an RV addiction! Ha. More on that later. For our family, we have driven hundreds of miles and camped in this. We have four little kids and they all cozy up in the front dinette. We LOVE the separation of the master bedroom. You asked about the AC, it cools like a dream. We have boondocked in state forests, stayed in state parks, you name it and it has worked wonderfully. When boondocking, the solar panel will keep the lights and fridge running for about two days, if it's sunny. We added another supplementary 200 watt, which keeps everything, even the heat, going, without an issue. So far, so good, anyway. Now, the fun part. We loved this so much, that we decided to start renting it out and it spread like wildfire! One month later, an LLC, two weeks after that, we bought another unit (NoBo 10.7-love that one too), and now have expanded to Snowmobiles, ATV's, ice fishing gear, and are looking to expand the RV fleet in the spring. Our guests have run this thing through the ringer. It's been towed by a Ford Explorer and smaller pickup without issue, hosted weddings, anniversaries, reunions, kids' first ever camping trips, you name it. Groups of all sizes, from couples to families, are loving this thing. As a stay at home/homeschooling mama of 4 who was trying to find a way to use my skills to help support my family, this has fit the bill and then some. We love it and so do our customers. Thanks so much. Will be studying your videos before purchasing another unit or three next year.

I've restarted this video three times because I've had a hard time believing they put all that into a 23ft x 7.5 space. Main thing that would make it better would be a 2nd axle for a bit more weight capacity and more controllability. But I really like this. Would really like a real oven, but I suppose they have to give up something.

As one who avoids slideouts at all costs, this one broke the mold for me. Love the bedroom for t's size, access to the bed and storage. One thing I would like to see is a desk option under that window where the drawers are, maybe a pull out or add on counter top? An office in a private bedroom just seems to be a coollio idea, idk. Also like the location of the bedroom window. It makes for a nice view from the table and creates a light and roomy feeling to this smaller TT, cha cha cha. If this was a tandem axle it would totally fit the bill! Thanks for the tour, you have a great day as well.

This is perfect for a single person, or a couple (watching as I write this, you're right, a single parent with 2 smaller kids would be perfect for this) who want to travel light, but not lose all amenities. This is a very nice plan. Josh, you're a salesman. You're here to sell product. OTH, you've learned the lesson that very few people in sales actually learn. If you talk about the warts, along with the beauty marks, and come across as a genuine guy, giving the bad with the good, you end up selling far, far more than most used car salesmen ever could. I'd rather buy from someone who is reasonably honest (look you're a in sales FFS) I will be far more willing to fork over a bit more than I wanted to spend because honesty sells far more than the opposite! I really do appreciate what you do. You've given me far more options than I'd ever thought I'd see. I've done a lot of research on what I want...but your videos have really opened my eyes to what is available and possible for what I want to do. Thanks for that.

Thank you for another good review Nerd! One thing I love about the RV world is that there is something for everyone. I love the layout here. I’ve met people at RV shows who are looking for smaller towable trailers because they’re not comfortable towing a big trailer and I think this one gives you a lot of bang for your buck. It’d also be great for 1 or 2 people who aren’t necessarily spending much time in their unit once they reach their destination. I agree 100% with the deficiencies you pointed out with the toilet, air conditioning, and lack of an entry door window. Other than that, I’d rather see large drawers on the bottom of the bedroom vanity vs the totes. Very interesting unit. Thanks for sharing!

Not only for people who aren't comfortable towing a big trailer, but for we off roadies. I want this in an Ember. I just don't care for slide outs, especially in an off road where smaller is better, but I want separate comfortable sleeping areas for 2-3 grown adult full & plus sized people, full bath (not wet), in a 20' max TT aka Ember. Storage in this is nice, but not that necessary. We're minimalists when we're out. We don't need a full closet. I can toss my jeans and supplies in a backpack. As a 66 year old senior citizen, though, I want a comfortable bed not only for myself, but also for my 1 or 2 other crew members.

Josh: In my opinion, the griddle is marketing fluff. I’d go for storage every time. It’s not under the awning and it looks like the door side forward drip spout is right over it. If I want a griddle, it’s stowed in the tow vehicle and deployed under the awning. As to the table support, one thing I’d do is liquid nail a vertical backer 2x4 or 2x6 in the basement and then attach the table mount to it. Even though I’m a committed slide adverse member of your nerd herd, if the manufacturer verifies that the bed slide is usable in transit, then I’d give this 2022 Salem & Wildwood 169RSK a passing grade on the rolling bed, head and mess truck stop/rest stop standard. The standard truck parking space width is 15’ wide. If you know, what is this trailer’s overall maximum width with the slide deployed,? Respectfully, W.S.

My wife and I are about 80% sold on this. The non-ducted AC is a bit of a drawback, but we do really like the floorplan. We have a suggestion about a modification we'd like to see. It comes in two options. The first is replace the U-shaped dinette with and incliner faux cinema seat (or an actual cinema seat) with the small tables that slot into the cup holders. I figure the faux cinema seat with incliner would help preserve the front storage area. That's not our preferred option. Our preferred option is our second one: put a Murphy bed in the bed slide and make the couch a faux cinema seat with incliners. This allows the bedroom to do double duty as a living room. Kinda like that one floorplan by Freedom Express. If incliners are too weight intensive, then maybe put some small ottomans under the couch.

Sitting on a single axle with a 43 gallon fresh tank. Then the bathroom on here, (although, I'd have to twist that toilet placement a bit if I got her) I honestly think you have a big winner here!!! I really wish the AC was central, but I also understand what that would do to the size and the roof construction. Besides, this unit would most likely be ment for a couple, so the doors probably wouldn't stay closed much (or is it open when its a bath like that? 🤣). I like the Bluetooth radio, finally!!!!

Hey Josh.... I know you'll love this.... Just got my new C-pap mini (its a full on C-pap that's really really small)... Its literally the size of my phone, yes, it's a bit thicker than my phone, but honestly, it doesn't take much of a shelf in order for it to sit on. So, if your phone can sit on it (like on top of the valance, then the C-pap mini can sit up there)...

I really like this floor plan. I think an 8ft wide would be a little better and a tandem axle would help with the weight issues. I would also like more boondocking options, is it generator preped? Also, a shelf above the windows in the bedroom would fix the CPAP resting area for sleeping. Most of my camping would be off grid so I look at all of these options.

When are 169RSK coming out? It's same floorplan without slide -- so saves on weight. This is a GREAT floorplan from days gone by. Udinnettes are the best because they double as loungers without a dedicated couch. Weird that the other smaller TT makers aren't doing this. Only ForestRiver looks to have this floorplan.

Hey Josh great video like always and love your channel. Great little camper but needs a little design changes. I agree with you if you're gonna have compartment living you need ducted AC period also it's a small camper so it would be nice to have pocket doors if we can and I would rather have storage than a griddle. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Gimme that storage!!! Even if I were to carry my griddle in that spot, I'd rather have the space. It's kinda growing on me but I'm drawn to another variation of it I see on their website. They definitely need to set the throne cattywampus in the bathroom. I'm also wondering if a power tower might be a better option in the corner of the kitchen counter? Not sure if it's feasible due to cost and what's required to do it.

OMG! I have never seen anything like this in such a small package. I love the large, open feel bedroom. A black tank flush at this level of a camper? Love it. The deal breaker for me, is the non ducted AC. HOWEVER, is it possible to have another roof mount AC installed in the bedroom? Assuming this is a 30amp camper, I know only one AC could be used at a time. If so, this would be a great traveling camper.

This is a nice little camper. I'm over the "farmhouse decor" but at least it's not brown on brown on brown and I can add colorful bedding and throw pillows and they won't clash. I'd like to see an oven or a convection microwave but I get that they're trying to stay within a budget. I LOVE the U-dinette, especially in such a small camper. I do see where they missed an opportunity for adding a shoe garage underneath the door-side bench though. Road Mode is awesome too, especially if the bed slide can be occupied for the rest area nap that I know Husband will need. The bathroom is a complete deal-breaker for me though. I'm not fond of walk-through bathrooms anyway but I could live with it if the toilet was reoriented and there was a little more storage for towels and other bathroom essentials. A couple of drunken octopus hooks aren't quite enough although they are appreciated. Neither Husband or I is likely to use the outdoor griddle so I'd trade that for more basement storage so I can bring along my convection toaster oven. (Gotta have that pizza :-) )

Salem/Wildwood are definitely the innovators in the industry at present and...you are starting to see them influence the others... I just bought a new Jeep Gladiator with the "regular" tow package. So, I'm looking and seeing some interesting things new. We are considering more of a "weekender" type of trailer for two or three nights out kinds of trips. We have a 7K unit for our long multi-week trips... but now the Gladiator changes the equation a bit. So, the Gladiator gives me a 6K max tow poundage and they have a robust payload of like 1600 lbs with the gas engine version and Class IV hitch. So, something like this is definitely in range... This is pretty amazing how they are packing so much into such a small package. The wife saw that back bedroom and she was like "SOLD." One thing I did see you might mention to Forest River people...is to look at the Viking 182DBU in their own stable for some synergistic ideas. A melding of some of of that units ideas (MURPHY BED FRONT) could be interesting since that front wall is wasted anyway... And also some of the storage ideas... So, food for thought. It's fun suddenly looking at a new set of criteria. And living in MT, the first thing I'm going to do is "flip the axle" and get myself and extra sixish inches so the National Forest Roads don't do a number on my low hanging "drain" fruit so to speak. I love the removable under neath panels. Great Idea... I've flipped axles before with the "old style" Aspen Trail 17BH before they cheapoed it out...like 2017. It was a perfect back country overland camper. The new version??? not so much... Put some decent tires on flipped axles and you are good to go. The dealer I bought off of, actually liked what I did and started doing it to new ones coming onto their lot in Butte, putting on the knobby tires and calling it a Rocky Mountain version... with a set of graphics and everything.

I'd use the folding storage boxes to put my dirty clothes. Then, when we get home just take them into house, do the laundry, and then fill them back up with clean clothes. Carry them into the camper and load up the drawers. Resulting in an empty laundry basket! The doors to the bath/bed seem like there would be a bit of a tango dance for two people moving thru, pocket doors would be great there.
