*HEY EVERYONE a few of you have noticed how the fridge was tilted back in this camper. Your eyes aren't deceiving you and I meant to explain WHY that was happening in the video. Apologies I missed that, but here's what's going on:* We had two of these in stock at that location They just sold one but something was wrong with its fridge bracket So to take care of our customer the location robbed the top bracket from this fridge & used it on the one that was sold to get the folks on the road in a timely fashion. I happened to record this one during the time we were waiting on a replacement. Figures lol _-Uncle Josh, the RV Nerd_

I know, same old, same old, needs a King Bed option. I really think giving up 4-5" of storage space on each side of the bed to accommodate a king is not an issue with the amount of other storage options in trailers now. I know there is never too much storage space but we can deal with anything, after a good nights sleep. Two fluffy peeps = King bed!

I have the 2019 Rockwood version of the 2511S. The entertainment and pantry setup on mine is different, as I don't have the fireplace, but there is a huge double door 'pantry' there. I added slid out drawers so we can reach stuff by just pulling out the drawer. We gave up some space to do it, but it's more than enough. Also behind the TV that swings out is a whole other open space where I have some shelves added and where I put my Blu-Ray player and it has power inside and the switch for the TV antenna. I tow with a Max Tow 2013 F150 Ecoboost. It's got #1900 payload and I've loaded the trailer to the gills and I load a bunch of stuff in the bed, but there is just the 2 of us, but we do carry a lot of stuff and it tows just fine, but I probably am at both the trucks and trailers weight limits.. Great trailer overall and with our modifications that we did on 'day 2' it's now even better! We do have the theater seats too with back massage and butt warmer and it's great! Love the "new" but the same channel format too! Keep on keeping on!

I have a gripe about this applies to more than just this trailer manufacturer is that they put that extended solar panel socket where when you plug in a panel you can’t open the door all the way to the magnetic hold back, the other is black shrouds on the air conditioning. They should be standard white in the industry. Keep up the good work love your videos I learn more every time I watch them.

In both those floorplans, the water heater is located in the corner of the lower kitchen cabinet. So I'm wondering how you access the bypass valves on the back of the water heater tank?

Plus with the bathroom near the bedroom, if shades are up or someone is sleeping in the living area, I have privacy to us it while in my PJs.

The weight of the trailer is half ton towable, the problem is the hitch weight. By the the time you load your trailer you at 1000 lbs hitch weight not including your hitch which adds quite a bit of weight. Most well equipped half ton pickups are around 1500# payload. If you’re alone with not much stuff in the bed you’ll be okay. If you have a family of 4 or carry a lot of toys your truck is going to be overloaded. A gas powered 3/4 ton truck is by far the best for that trailer! I really like Rockwood trailers. I’m a few people full timing in Geo Pros.

Your comment caused me to look back at what the hitch weight is. 824 pounds! That's crazy heavy for such a small camper. Josh: Is this a misprint?

My opinion all trailers this size or even smaller they should do away with the dinette on every one of them and put theater seats / loveseat and just have a stowaway table for when you want to eat. Having a small trailer and a dinette with no loveseat or recliner when u want to watch TV and just chill sucks.

Hey Josh, Love your videos. You put so many great tips and info in them. We are currently selling our motorhome and plan to switch back to a travel trailer. The one we are looking at is the Flagstaff 25FBLS or the Rockwood 2511S. I have a question about the 2024 vs earlier model. I noticed that the fridge has been switched with the theater seats. Do you know why? It seems odd to have the fridge so far from the kitchen and the theater seats offset from the entertainment center. Thought it might have to do with the distance to the batteries but that puts the 12V fridge even further away. We may try to get a used 2022 or new 2023 model instead. What are your thoughts on it? Thanks!

That's actually news to me. I haven't seen once for a while I see what you're saying. That does look odd on paper BUT.. it could have been done to access the fridge in transit. I'm not sure. I'm going to have to get updated footage on that..

Rockstaff doesn't actually chamber and test their units. I do know some people that have wintered in them. The tank heaters help in the enclosed belly. Radiant barrier helps as well But they haven't done testing to make promises so it's hard for me to do the same. I think if it dips below freezing at night and comes back above tomorrow, then you'll be fine

I like this trailer, but we have the 2507s and for the same size, you get a lot more usable space. I think this is a great layout, but you give up a lot of room to get the separate bedroom that isn't really that separate. For a couple that doesn't need room for any additional people and wants a door on the bedroom, it's a good option.
@JoshtheRVNerd

It's really a question of open vs. private bed space.. or even murphy vs fixed beds The 2507S, 2205S, and 2511S are all super similar overall with a few little variances from one to the other. Those different bed setups are often "deal breakers" so Rockwood tries to build one of each

@@JoshtheRVNerd Makes sense. And all of their trailers offer a lot of value. For us the outdoor kitchen and getting a couch and dinette in a camper we could still pull with a half ton, was worth dealing with the murphy bed. You do a great job of helping people focus on what's important to them. Glad you're still doing them.
