Cool update...I have an 18TO(2020), added pullouts under both benches, digital thermostat($20), digital CO/propane alarm ($50), various hooks...We use it enough so everything gets set up where it makes most sense and storage is'nt a problem.Can add the TV brackets($20) online, we put ours at the foot of the bed(19" TV). After 4 seasons of camping, we're happy our unit was manufactured pre-covid....no problemsso far👍

I just purchased this unit as a single camping lady, and think it will work great for me. I have trouble getting to the storage under the dinette and LOVE that you put drawers in there. Can you tell me how to do that? Did you build a box to fit in the space, and put it on rolling hardware? Where can I find that hardware to fit this? Also, how did you make the front panel with handle? How did you wrap the edges to match without just showing cut wood? Thank you so much!!

Hi! I wish I had footage of me putting the drawer in. When I installed them, the first thing I did was watch a KZitem video on how to install a drawer. I used ball bearing slides and I needed to add a little bit of framing under the dinette in order for there to be something the back of the drawer slide to be mounted. To build the drawer itself I built a box that was about 1" narrower to allow for the drawer hardware. The box was flush with the existing cabinet. I created the drawer face out of a piece of furniture grade plywood. I beveled or rounded the edges using a router. We got pretty close to the color of the wood using Varathane Aged Walnut stain, but we still needed to add some black to match the color. I was able to purchase all of my materials at Home Depot. One thing we did before I added the drawer was punch out the end of the cabinet under the seat of the dinette. It at least made it way easier to access some of the storage. I hope this helps.

I'm really considering this model. My biggest gripe is the tv placement. I know not everyone cares about tv when camping, but most parks have wifi now and I really enjoy streaming stuff when it's rainy or you just don't wanna be outside. That tv placement is horrible. Only good viewing angle is from that one dinette seat that faces the rear. Wonder if I could mount a tv above the passenger side window over the bed?

Hi! Yes the TV placement is tough. One small complaint we had was that when we were in bed watching TV the AC unit was in between. So when the AC was running we could barely hear our TV. I’m not sure how strong the wall is where you’re thinking about mounting a TV. You might need to figure out how to reinforce it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Did you end up purchasing this model and did you move the TV location? I'm interested to hear how your reinforced the wall?

Can you pull this with a half ton truck?

@@Jessie-fq1wo Check the payload on your truck. Not just the towing capacity. We had a Ram 1500 but exceeded the payload and it was schetchy in the wind. Other 1500’s would be fine. Payload should be listed on the sticker inside your door. Hope this helps.

Two questions 1. Do you know the overall height of the camper including the AC unit on top or is that the 10'6? 2. Could the pullout bed be used as a prep area when cooking inside or is the couch sticking out to far?

Hi! I’m pretty sure 10’6” is accurate. We have a 9’6” garage door and we wouldn’t have been able to fit through. Using the bunk for food prep is an interesting idea. You might be able to, but it would be awkward.

Hi. Yes, in fact we made that video as we were in the process of cleaning it up to trade in. It was a great introduction RV’s. If it had some of the things I mention in the video, we’d still have it. We purchased an Outdoors RV Timber Ridge 24RLS. We just haven’t posted a video about that yet. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@variedventures6468 Oh that's great! I've never owned an RV but i've rented them and am now in market to buy one for my wife, 2 year old and small dog. I have a 1/2 ton truck and was thinking a 24bh with a single slide is max i'm comfortable towning with my truck.
