SMALLEST Airstream Camping Trailer | 2023 Caravel 16RB Walk Through Tour

Hello and welcome back to Colonial Airstream. I'm Patrick Botticelli and today I'm going to take you through the new

2023

Airstream Caravel 16 RV. This is one of my favorite models and floor plans, and if you have a favorite model or Airstream floor plan that you would like us to feature why not put in the comments? Maybe we'll feature it on a future

tour

. This

trailer

is fully loaded so it has the window awning package and solar charging system. 100 watt solar panel on roof and window awnings all around. Now this

trailer

has a gross vehicle weight of 4,300 pounds and a dry weight of 3,500 pounds and a net payload capacity, this is before putting things on the trailer and before the factory options of 800 pounds, the hitch weight on The front of the trailer is 490 pounds and the trailer measures 16 feet, 5 inches long from ball hole to bumper and is eight feet wide with an interior width of seven feet, seven inches and interior height. from floor to ceiling is six feet seven inches and the outside height is nine feet seven inches so now you know the lay of the land of weights and measures let me tell you a little bit about the capabilities this one has 23 gallons. fresh water tank on board and has a 30 gallon gray and black combo waste tank on board that is for the sink, shower and toilet together.

The air conditioning is thirteen thousand five hundred BTU with electric heat pump and has 12,000 BTU. propane boiler and a tankless water heater on board. Now I'll start with the exterior first and then we'll go through the interior. I know you're excited to see the inside of this trailer, but there are so many cool things I want. To show you the exterior first before diving into the details of the interior, we'll start right here. There is a step light on board so you can see and illuminate this area at night. It has a Thule step, you just push it in with your foot, you can take it out with your foot, you can do it by hand, the trailer has heated tanks and a fully enclosed bottom, there is insulation before the floor and under that floor is a TransCore composite floor , so it's not plywood, it's not tongue and groove plywood. it is not OSB it is not particle board this is a composite flooring that will last a long time in the front door it is all extruded aluminum construction it is all TIG welded it has this angle here so you can take a broom and sweep up the dust and debris Inside it has a zippered awning.

Now we have many demo videos about this awning. I highly recommend you subscribe to the channel because we have our service tips with Joe and we do demos on a lot of things. It is a manual awning it has entrance doors made of acrylic material one of my favorites you see it in all the videos but I have to do it right I have to close the door so you can hear that beautiful failure of the closed bench it has hinges here beautiful hinges it has double Se locks, so it has a handle lock and a full deadbolt.

The onboard screen door separates from the main door. It has six rivets on each hinge. They are all stainless steel. Everything is TIG welded in place. It slides in and fills that space and then. the

caravel

now you get screen door protectors Caravel is a trailer series because it comes in a 16 rb4 floor plan, a 19 CB corner bed floor plan, a 20 FB front bedroom floor plan and a 22 FB front bedroom floor now these floor plans are also in the Baby series which has a lower level of features at a lower price but they are duplicate floor plans.

Caravelle is more luxurious, you get a lot of extras with the

caravel

le, which is why we point out the screen door protectors, you get the aluminum step. Electric Hitch Jack Stainless steel wraparound guards on the front of the body Ducted air conditioning inside 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter There are many extras, one of my favorites is this rear panoramic window which is now super cool and is exclusive to the RB Caravelle 16 Now back to the door, there is a small latch here that prevents the door from moving on a windy day. It has a gutter rail over the door.

The door is completely insulated, as is the trailer. It has Eagle Bat insulation behind the door, you can see. The wheels and tires are 225 75 R15 tires, load range e and maximum inflation is 80 psi. The trailer also has shock absorbers on each wheel and is a rubber torsion axle with bushings that are never lubricated and the brakes are never adjusted. There is an outlet here. Now this will work when you are plugged into the shore power outlet at a campsite. There are heavy-duty stabilizer jacks at all four corners that simply prevent the trailer from swaying when you move around inside.

Also on a windy day it keeps it very stable. There is a tool. that will show you on the other side that lowers them, there is a jack location under the trailer here, so if you need a flat tire to change your tire, a spare tire is included and it is a jack that is going to use a jack your tow vehicle to lift the trailer, so you're going to place it where it specifically says where to put the jack, raise the tire and you can take the lug nuts off now, if you ever take them off, it's It's always important, very important, to always check the tire pressure. before towing the trailer and the lug nut torque, but if you take the tire off and put it back on, you should check after 5 10 15 50 miles the lug nut torque, so keep stopping. and checking it as you go, it is very important to place LED step lights throughout the beautiful Caravel Medallion.

This is the belt line where the two aluminum seams overlap. This is the friction rail where the side blade and bottom meet. They are all completely. Sealed it has dual tail lights at the rear of course they are a polished aluminum rear bumper with LEDs with bumper caps on the end to protect it. This lid lifts up and this gives you access to the rear trunk space. Now this is not dry storage. so this is where you're going to put your wooden blocks, your wheel fits everything that touches the ground and gets dirty, you might want to put it back here because your lockable trunk, you spin these things in isolation, completely weather sealed, this is where I'm going to put all your clean stuff, so it comes with these containers here and they're pretty deep and it also has a door from the inside so you can access these containers if you need to, but you can put all your things clean. things back here, you could even take the containers out, leave them outside if you want to put bigger things in at night, you could see it because there's an LED light right here that illuminates the entire trunk space and then there's a carpet on top of the vinyl floors in all the cabinets, if you want to get close to this, you can see it's Italian lightweight plywood, so it's plywood, it's very stable but it's also extremely lightweight compared to a four-by-eight birch sheet that you can buy at Home Depot . and it is laminated on both sides so it is easy to wipe and clean, it will not absorb moisture, stand with light, another caravan window open at the moment, you can see the windows opening, which are two in this model, The front and back have insects. screens and this also works as an emergency exit window awning package, it is a great addition.

It really shades the back of the trailer, you can see above the wireless rear view camera that comes with a monitor, we're going to see that in the interior and the clearance light, so it's always important when towing your travel trailer day or night, always have the parking lights or headlights on on your tow vehicle, which will illuminate all the lights on the trailer to make it more visible. It's the most conscious thing to do that also turns on the rearview camera or driving camera so you can leave it on all the time while driving so you can see who is behind you if you pass someone you can see and make sure you've moved them away. , but that's a tip, that's a tip from Patrick, always leave your parking lights or headlights on here is the 30 amp coastal power connection, we give you an adapter here to the colonial valleys, you adapt the connection of the 30 amp power cord to a 15 amp or 20 amp outlet in your home and may allow you to charge a trailer and use the microwave and television, but if plugged into a 20 or 15 amp outlet, you may be able to or do not run the air conditioner, so we always recommend that you use 30 amps. because you'll be able to run everything inside the trailer, I'm not going to take out the power cord because I don't want to restart the trailer, but you turn it, push it in and the power is unlocked. cord, but you get excellent contact with these, our smart plugs, compared to the Marine Co swivel style, because what happens with them is you put the power cord in, people forget to twist it and they forget to lock it and The power cord does not have full contents and actually overheats and causes the ends to melt, so this gives you a full connection.

It's safer here is your external cable connection in a campsite and satellite connection, so if you want to put a portable satellite, you can do it here. Propane Furnace Exhaust 12,000 B2, so keep this clear. I wouldn't park next to the firewood right this is pretty hot here it's the tankless water heater so it's just gas and it's a very easy procedure to winterize it you don't even have to avoid it. this, but there are some drains and procedures. For every customer who purchases an Airstream from Colonial Airstream we provide extensive hands-on training, teach you how everything works in and out of your trailer, and welcome all of our customers to stay overnight. at our dealership after receiving training so they can test the systems before hitting the road and returning home.

This is the water heater exhaust and never store anything here. This is not a storage cabinet here in the wheel well. a drip tube for your air conditioner, so instead of water running down the side of the trail or leaving weird streaks on the side, it drips through a drip tube right next to your tire, so sometimes you might think you align with some of these. water connections you have a water leak, but if you are using the air conditioner in very hot and humid conditions, you will see a constant drip. This has a city water connection and a fresh water tank, two different systems. 23 gallons of water it could hold to get that water out of the tank, turn on the 12 volt water pump it requires and that will give pressure to all the faucets, this if you want to bypass the tank and connect it directly to You can connect the water from a campground here and want to use the special hose that Colonial Airstream provides.

It's not like a normal garden hose, it looks like one. I mean, you screw it in here and that will give you a continuous supply of water pressure. for all taps on board, it does not fill the fresh water tank which is separate and also has a built-in water pressure regulator, so if you experience an unexpected increase in water pressure at the campsite, your trailer is protected, This trailer has that combination. black gray tank this is a black tank to wash it so let me explain down here is your sewage holding tank so it's a combination tank so it's gray and black together you have a light here to illuminate this area , remove this cap, place the waste hose that Colonial Airstream provides you connected securely to the camp connection check your gauges inside once you get to the point where you feel like you need to empty the tank, pull this handle out , is a leaf valve that allows waste to flow through and empty into the campsite dump station when you are done, it will close it and continue

camping

if you are done, you will pack it up and want to go home, it is always a best practice before store it after emptying the waste leave this handle open connect a normal garden hose, not the special water hose we give you to drink, to this connection under pressure inside the tank, spray the walls of the tank downwards to remove any residual waste so that you do not if any odor builds up in the tank, let it run for about five minutes, turn off the water supply and then allow the waste to drain, close the waste gate, store the waste hose in the storage tube from the waist hose that's right here on the trailer and this will fit.

In total about a 20 foot hose, we give it a 10 foot hose and they are expandable. You can always put an extension in if you want to get the full 20 feet, but that's where it's stored, it's not stored in the rear bumper. I wouldn't suggest putting it back there because it's for other things outside. The shower with hot and cold water hangshere. It packs up nice and neat when you're in transport, but this is great because you're not always going to be. physically shower here, but there are a lot of things you might want to rinse before putting them away and this is a great place to do that instead of dragging them inside and doing it in the shower or the kitchen sink.

The side window awning now looks, it not only shades the window, it shades the body from cover to cover and actually keeps the interior temperature much cooler, but it rolls up and locks into place. There is a twist lock. There is an awning pole. that comes with the trailer allows you to reach the strap and reach the lock if you need it. It's got two porthole windows here, stove vent here, so there's a stove vent on a Caravel on a Bambi, they don't vent through the stove. the ceiling fan when you turn on the fan this will open up a lot of the exhaust to come out when you're in transport and storage you put these little ties on and that locks it in place so the bugs don't get into your trailer.

The fresh water tank is filled here, just remove the cap, put the hose in place. If it is loose, keep the water pressure low, allow air to escape from the tank once it is full or filled to the desired height , put the lid back on and then the door will close and you can lock it so no one can contaminate your water underneath, you can see here, we have another stabilizer jack here in the front corner and that really keeps this front stable. This is the tool to operate it and you can do it if you get a three quarter inch socket and put it in an impact gun or a drill, you can get them down pretty quick, now these are not leveling the trailer, it's not lifting the trailer off the ground, You're not using them to change your tire, it's literally just to stabilize the trailer.

VIN plate with production information. The torque of the nuts and all that information is in the owner's manual. Wraparound stainless steel guards on the front. I mentioned it before. This is a unique feature that you get on the caravel that you don't have on the Bambi, but it is a little heavier on a trailer. people are towing them with larger tow vehicles so they can cook larger rocks and this will protect the body the aluminum in the body is stretch formed aluminum this is stainless steel and is separated on purpose watch this space here to allow for deflection so you can hit something that's not going to dent the body behind it and it's on a big hinge here and you take a lug wrench, you turn them, you can take them off and you can clean behind here you have to clean this and treat it like it's your car. special car that you love so much you have to wash it you have to wax it you have to take care of it but you use automotive style washes and waxes not things made specifically for RVs because most RVs are fiberglass and there is a different way to clean them in comparison to a clear coated stainless steel Rock Arts is great but also the stone sunscreens that could protect the glass, the glass is tinted and these are tinted so it allows the inside temperature to be a little bit cooler when have this tint.

It also gives you some privacy on board, but these tethers lift up and allow you to open the rock guard and you just turn around. The knurled knobs make it nice and smooth, and then you can lift and open the window from the inside every time. When you are towing, be sure to leave this down and secure it completely to the roof of the trailer. It will be difficult to see, but up there is air conditioning, there is a TV antenna and it also gives you radio reception. your fantastic fan, there's a bathroom fan and then there's also a pre-wired cover for the connected Airstream, so Airstream sells a pep wave router that allows you to have internet on board, you would sign up for a plan, you would get your SIM card.

We sell the routers here in our service department and all the wiring harness is in the trailer, so all we have to do is put that wiring harness in the router, take the roof cover off and put the antenna up there and now you have full internet on board here are some tools one of the tools is for the electric hitch. Jack, this is how you raise and lower the trailer. There is a light that illuminates this area so you can see at night. You can remove this little cap and you can do it manually. Go up and down the trail in case the battery has failed, the fuse blew a lot on these people under the fuses not realizing what they are doing if you press down the motor keeps turning when you release a button. wait for it to stop before reversing directions so people push it and say Oops I wanted to go up and don't wait for it to stop push it up the fuse blows the fuse is between the battery box and the hitch, if you don't.

You don't have one at hand, you can always use this tool. It's like a little multi-tool, which is great. None of these plugs really do anything on the trailer except this is a half inch drive so you can buy different ones corresponding. 13 16 steep wall deep socket shallow wall for the nuts to remove the nuts you can buy the three quarter inch socket to make your stabilizer jacks if you want so this is a useful tool to have inside the trailer here is your socket seven way trailer socket, so this is the type of plug your vehicle is going to need and not a flat four, you need the full seven way, so you have the turn signals, the brake lights, the parking lights , all integrated and also a 12 volt charging cable.

So your vehicle will need to be equipped with a factory or aftermarket electric brake controller, either wired or wireless, and we install them here at our dealership on most vehicles. It is a 16 inch 2 and 5 bowl and has the Demco lock. Here we give you a hitch lock that prevents it from lifting, which prevents someone from stealing your trailer. Removes the hitch lock and allows you to lift it up to allow it to connect to your vehicle. Also in any vehicle that is compatible. Because not all vehicles are compatible, we recommend a weight distribution hitch system with sway control.

We sell the Pro Pride. We sell The Equalizer and Blue Ox here at our dealership and we are happy to install one for you as long as your vehicle is weight compatible. distribution, there are safety gears that always come across when you put them on your vehicle, take out any slack you have, meaning if the trailer ever becomes detached from the tow vehicle, it is an additional line of defense that prevents the trailer from coming loose completely. There is also a trailer breakaway cable that connects completely between the trailer and your truck. Your truck's hitch receiver if the trailer ever becomes detached from the tow vehicle, it pulls out and activates your trailer's brakes to prevent the trailer passes it on the road The most common mistake I see with this is that people don't like to wrap it around the hitch so they just drop it here and what happens is it fully activates the brakes on the trailer and will quickly drain the batteries in about an hour or two.

So if you pull this out and wonder why your batteries are dead, that's exactly what happened. It's also not good for the magnets inside the brakes, so I wouldn't recommend trying it. Here's a quick disconnect. They give you a small short line of propane. that allows you to fit in and light the gas like a low pressure external grill, so it's not a long hose deliberately so you don't drag it around and put it under the awning and start a fire and cause your trailer to catch on fire, but it has a regular quick disconnect; two 20 pound propane bottles come with this trailer and it's very handy because you can swap them out so it's easy to swap out bottles when you're getting fuel instead of finding a place to fill them up so what you need to do is remove this wing nut here, the bottle cap lifts all the way up and I'll show you it's going to look better now that they're light so if it's windy, don't take this thing off, it's going to go away.

It flies away if you're not holding it, but this is the clamp to hold the bottles. There's a regular 20 pounder that you unscrew here. It has a regulator that allows you to choose which bottle you're going to run from, but also if both bottles are on and you start with one and one gets empty, it will automatically switch to the next bottle and there's a little indicator here that goes from green to red if one bottle is empty over here and then behind here is the battery box, so About 90 percent of the

airstream

s that are sold through Colonial Airstream, people are putting in lithium batteries and AGM batteries would be the ones that would come on some trailers if you get the solar charging system, so this one has the life saving AGM batteries that are. 80 amp hours each, you can only discharge them at about 50, so you have about 80 usable amp hours inside this trailer, but if you upgrade lithium for the same battery form factor, you could get 100 amp hours per battery at about half the weight and you could use 100 percent of the capacity of that battery, meaning if you have 200 amp hour batteries total, you could use the 200 amp hours, that's 160 amp hours total , but you can only use half, so you have 80. but also, these batteries are 12 volts and are connected in a parallel bottle cap that snaps back on, which also secures your shots and prevents them from coming loose when you're driving and you just line everything up and then you put the clamp over here.

On this side I'm going to show you the external solar port, so there is a solar controller on board. It is a Victron mppt solar controller that controls the optional 100 watt panel and allows you to charge the battery. Here they give you an external solar port and give you options, it is not physically connected on the inside of the trailer because some of the solar panels that you do externally would have their own built in solar controller so you would connect it to the trailer through your connection in the interior and it could have auxiliary solar or you could do a second solar controller on the inside of the trailer or a third and together you could have both running at the same time.

Here's the spare tire holder, so I'm going to turn over here, pull this. slide this and the spare tire will drop if you raise the power hitch jack high enough it will give you easier access to get to your tire under the trailer and it is a full size spare tire but it is on a steel base . The rim, not the aluminum rim, practically wraps around the outside run of the trailer. Now let's

walk

inside and you will see at the front door there is a fire extinguisher. There is also a smoke detector on the ceiling.

There is a propane leak. detector on board a carbon monoxide detector there is a rear exit emergency hatch a garbage can over here and the caravel is available in a decoration but in two different seat colors that are also decorations this is the tungsten it is like a black satin there is also a pewter which is more of a wood tone interior seats color but everything else remains the same. The dining table here measures 40 inches by 91 inches. It's a huge dining room, so you can sleep if you need two adults in this dining room and you get that beautiful picture window.

Here we have curtains with a built-in black outline so you have plenty of privacy. If you want to sleep, you can get pretty dark in this trailer. The overhead lights have dimmers, so you can really dim them and change the mood. and then also when the awning goes down there's a strip of light under the awning that you can illuminate that really gives it a dramatic look on the outside and then right here next to the door there's a handle and then there's a battery disconnect switch so I could press this button and I can turn off all 12 volts in the trailer and the only thing that would be left on would be the solar system, the propane leak detector and the electric hitch.

Jack look here, it's all aluminum lined on the back and it also has a speaker over here. here a subwoofer and two in the back it has a JL stereo audio system upstairs here you also have an HDMI connection because there is a TV in the bedroom and you can connect a Blu-ray player or a device that works with HDMI and then turn it up to the TV, so you are already physically connected, all you need is to buy the device and an HDMI cable. There is USB charging here and there is also an inverter circuit.

This trailer has a 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter. There is a button to turn on the inverter. and off and that will power certain outlets in this trailer for small electronic devices like a Blu-ray player like a laptop. There's one under the dining room or something in the bedroom. You just have to make suredon't plug a toaster into a microwave a hair dryer something that has power over 1000 watts under the cabinet there are some reading lights just press them and you can change the direction there is a work light here with one or two elements and another light here and then let me show you Look how this dining room comes down because it's fun, actually, before you do it, look at this.

There's a little drawer here for extra storage right at the front door, so you undo the bolster cushions, lift up the bottom, and do the same on the other side. okay, so you take the table and lift it up, it comes out of some slats on the wall, the leg goes up and locks into place, it swings down, there are rubber grommets that keep it square on the platform, you put the cushions back together , these come out, you can use them. as a footboard or headboard, put it like this on this side, we're going to lay it flat and then these just snap together, but before you check out the quality work that Airstream does with the stitching, they have zippers, really, really. high density foam inside, if you compare it to other types of RVs you will really see the difference in the quality of workmanship, there are so many human hours that go into building these trailers, now you can see that you can use the reinforcements.

As a headboard and footboard, if you need extra space, you can place them underneath or lean them against the wall and use it as a deep seating area. On this side, we will lift up this cushion so you can see what is underneath, this is the fresh water tank, mppt solar charge controller, AC and DC distribution box, water pump, there is a conditioning valve for winter, there is a screen for the water pump, there are also low point drains here, so this is a service access hatch so you don't. I don't want to store anything else in there other than what it's actually intended for.

Here we have the two burner gas stove and these have these heavy metal grates. Here you have the stove vent at the top. There really are vents outside, but you want to. Make sure the vent is open. You also have a vent here for the refrigerator cabinet. This is a 3.1 cubic foot 12-volt compressor-style refrigerator with an onboard freezer, and the door is reversible if you ever wanted to change positions, but it makes sense to go this way. The shelves are removable. You also have an outline. I think it's a 0.08 cubic foot onboard microwave that you have to plug into the mains.

You have storage. Down here you also have a drawer with a cutlery organizer, there is also a small tray here for additional items. GFCI protected outlet. A very nice sink top faucet with pull out sprayer. It also has this piece on the bottom of the sink so if you're putting ceramic mugs and things it won't scratch the bottom of your sink. Four-hole windows have privacy. Blinds here, these Dometic blinds, plus raised ceiling. Locker storage here. This is the owner's bag that comes with the trailer for all the owner's manuals. Smoke detector. what we talked about before, here is the work of the ducts, so it is called silent flow for a reason: it is really quiet compared to a central air conditioner, so these are the input rates that you want to make sure you clean them lint and dust. periodically, so under the screws you wash them, you let them dry, you put them back, but then you just bring the air in and then you cool it or condition it and run it through different vents, so there's two in the bedroom and there's four up here if you want to push more air back or push more air into a corner, you could close some, you could even completely change the direction that the air blows into these vents.

It's quite spectacular. There is a fantastic fan that has a motorized cover. Thermostat control with variable speed control and a built-in full rain sensor that will turn it off when it rains. Here by the front door is a dry erase board. It also has some coat hooks here and then here if you want privacy while you're there. When you're in the bedroom, you can go over a full privacy curtain and have some privacy, so when you come out of the bathroom, if you want to get dressed, the closet is right here, so they put the privacy curtain right here and there's a strap to hold it.

This back here on the wall is the monitoring system for two tanks at sea level. This allows you to monitor the voltage of your battery, the capacity of your fresh water tank, which is 23 gallons, and the capacity of your black gray tank, which is up to 30 gallons, from here and gives you can get levels and percentages instead of thirds or fourths like most tank systems out there so you can really get an accurate reading of what's in your tank. You can also turn the pump on and off from here so that with the pump on it will not work.

It means the pump is running continuously if you have water in the tank, it runs until it pressurizes the system once it sees a drop in pressure and a pump will start up and give you a continuous flow of water. The pump should never be left on if it does not have water in its tank, it will continue to run and burn out. This is the Victron Energy solar screen, so it is for the solar controller that we connect to the Dyna. This allows you to see your battery voltage and also allows you to see how much solar power you need. you are earning your solar panel, it is very important to clean your solar panel periodically.

You'd be surprised how dirty they get and how inefficient they can become when dirty. Gerard tankless water heater, you turn the system on, you set the temperature so it's not like you're adjusting the temperature on the faucet where you say, "Okay, I want a little bit of heat," if you don't want it too hot, put it on. here, you can put it at 90 degrees, 100 degrees, 120 degrees. If you are taking a shower you adjust the temperature and turn the taps on full that is how they work here is the closet so in the closet there is a light that illuminates this area so you can see better at night and there is a QR code in several places of this advance and you can scan it and there is technical support and very useful information that Airstream provides in certain key areas that if you have questions, you scan and you can find what you are looking for, this rises and gives you access to your water heater used to be for winterization, but now you don't need to bypass the water heater, so it's just for a technician to have access to if you need to access it.

Now I'll show you the bathroom. slide this in, I know what's cool, like seeing this corner instead of two pieces of wood buttoned together, this is extruded aluminum in the corner, it really ties this corner together, gives it a super cool look and when you're loading and unloading gear. You don't have to worry about chipping the wood, there are some hooks on the back of the door. I'm going to get in the shower so you can see the scale. I'm five foot nine, I have boots and floor steps. up and there's still plenty of room here, it has a porcelain toilet on board, it's a normal foot paddle that you just push partially in and it will fill the bowl with water to whatever height you decide, you push it all the way to the bottom to flush the toilet and that it flows into that combination tank and so does the shower drain.

Now we'll go to the only place where there is a shower curtain that opens and goes all the way down to seal off this area, so there's a medicine cabinet here with adjustable. shelves, there's also the fan that you push up, you press the button, there we go and that vents out, so it's always good practice to have something else to open a window or something that allows air to flow through the top of the door. Air enters this cavity when you are showering, a shower hangs here on the wall and it also has a pause function, so once you set the temperature, you want to soap up and save water, you can pause it there instead of turning it off. down there you have some cutouts here for the soap conditioner there is a toilet paper holder that is waterproof this shower curtain goes all the way around this side and covers this wall you have a privacy curtain so no one can see what you are doing here and then there's a clothesline that runs across and you can hang things on your light items in this compartment here and lock it into place when you're done with this cavity there's plenty of elbow room plenty of room this is perfect I mean it works perfect .

For me, some people want a dry bathroom, so that's what 19+ have dry bass in the bedroom. There's a separate dome light control back here and also, if you go back much further, there's also the Dometic HVAC control, the Comfort Control Center, which allows you to control your air conditioning, which would be three different fan speeds. and automatic setting, select your onboard temperature, you can change from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can see what your interior temperature is, which is 69 right now, you can also change the air conditioning mode. For fan only If you only want the fan to work inside the air conditioner, you can change the mode to electric heat pump.

If it's over 42 degrees, you can use an electric heat pump built into the air conditioner. The heat inside the trail really requires the chill out or you can change the mode and you could go to mode. We turned on the air conditioning. Could you change the oven mode and set the temperature there? The furnace itself is a 12 volt fan and uses propane as its fuel source. change the clock and set a program here too and this trailer, although it says Zone, this is a single zone trailer, but trailers with two air conditioners have two zones, this is how you turn on your inverter system, press the button here and Wait about 10 seconds, you will hear a beep and that will power those inverter circuits.

There are USB charging ports at the head of the bed. There's even a laundry basket here at the head of the bed. Fully blackout privacy curtains. Some more reading lights. Now I have two, look at this big window, pull out this cord here just for emergencies if you need to get out the window if for some reason the front door is locked red handles to indicate the emergency exit on this side there is another laundry basket, televisions traditional storage on articulated arm and I can turn it completely so I can see it from the dining room and next to it on the wall there is an HDMI connection there is a cable connection an inverter circuit the TV runs on 12 volts so it is not necessary to have the inverter on to operate the television and there is a locking arm so that when you are towing this television it does not dance around back here and this mattress I will not put my shoes on it.

I swear this mattress is 48 by 78 inches long. There is a lot of space and you can lie down quite well. Two full size adults could definitely sleep on this mattress. I have been selling h

s for over 20 years and have sold so many 16 foot trailers to families of two families of four and they make it work and love it. It is spectacular. You don't need a super big truck to pull this. You can get away with some of the mid-size SUVs to pull this trailer, which is very practical for so many people on it. Overhead locker storage over here I just have the bed pillows stored in this compartment here and one more thing, one more area under the bed, is the fuse panel, the circuit breakers, so this has the 12 fuses. volts and AC fuses for electrical outlets and your microwave also has an onboard battery charger, so when you connect to the shore power grid, you can charge your onboard batteries with whatever battery technology you decide on and then there is a step to get to the trunk so if you want to grab one of these containers and bring it inside you can do that right from the inside and then there is also the oven here which blows the hot air into the trailer but also heats the tank underneath and you can see the mattress here, this is a pillow top memory foam mattress like a Residential Style on a platform here, well I hope you enjoyed the
