...Music playing...
so we're here at the Colorado RV show and every time there is an RV show
in our area we definitely want to take advantage of that and come check it out
now there are a lot of reasons that you should attend an RV show even if you're
an experienced RVier or just brand new to RVing and as you can get tons of
ideas you can get tons of ideas for storage you can get tons of ideas of
what is the new technology that is out there you can get tons of ideas on new
accessories and what is new in the RV industry plus you can also take a look
at different floor plans and do some research of maybe what would work better
for you on down the road if you plan on continuing to be this lifestyle
I can totally take a shower in there can you
No
this is too much like camping and not on a
glamping for my tastes
no outdoor showers no I don't know what do call that sleeping space
I'm not gonna call it a bed but nope
it's a big nope so we're gonna show you the Airstream Basecamp X now one thing
that's cool about the Basecamp X model is that there is a three inch lift that
is on this so it's really great to be able to go kind of rugged in those
off-road areas if you enjoy doing Forest Service roads things like that this is
definitely the rig that you want to check out so we're gonna show you the
inside and I'll meet you in there so in this Basecamp backs you still have
all of the comforts of home with the advantage of being able to be a little
bit more rugged and off road if you want so up here in kind of the galley area
you still have your sink that is up here with your pop-up faucet there in case
you want do dishes or whatever there it's one thing I absolutely love is these
hammocks type storage areas so that you can put things up into here and then
there's a nice rack here to be able to put whatever dish stuff you need some
hooks here as well you've got a two burner stove so that you can cook things
here two burners to be able to do that another hammock area for storage up here
plenty of counter space to be able to do whatever you need to do as far as food
prep or anything like that and then of course you're looking at the
gorgeous outdoors while you're out here there are these kind of blackout shades
if you are in an area it just may be too hot you don't want that you can zip
these up and close that off if you need some extra just darkness or you can open
them up and enjoy the view of wherever not you are at
you got a microwave here as well then it's some
storage underneath of this microwave for your food
or whatever there storage over here and then you've got your fridge that is
right here as well now this is a 12-volt fridge it's gonna run off of electricity
but the beautiful thing is this is equipped with solar so you can keep this
fridge going off of the solar power for really its long as you need to as long
as you've got some Sun then down here we've got one more storage area in here
that goes quite a ways back which is very nice for storage in this area as
well here we have the wet bath and so basically what this is is an all-in-one
combo so you've got your toilet and your shower all in one particular area but
you can still do all of your business and still get clean while you're kind of
enjoying that offered experience so back here you've just kind of got your living
seating area and your bed so I love these hammock areas up here to be able
to hold and store anything one thing that you get used to when you were
living smaller is utilizing all the space and that means wall space so
anything ceiling-to-floor you want to utilize an Airstream that's done a great
job of that with these hanging hammocks on either side to be able to store which
image to store you've got these kind of couch seating areas and then this is
gonna actually fold out into also sleeping area which is just a little bit
larger than a queen-size so a plenty of sleeping area for two people as well so
with this particular table it comes with two different of these poles so you can
have it lower like this for more like your coffee table feel or you can switch
this out for a higher table for more of an eating area so two different options
on your table height and there's two different tabletops so you've got two
places to be able to put those tabletops with this rear entrance you can bring
down this screen which just snaps into place with all of these
now the beautiful thing about this is you can leave this back door open while
you're sitting inside enjoying your cup of coffee and enjoying the outdoors as
well the other thing that is beautiful about this rear entrance in addition to
the side entrance is this is meant to be able to load in any equipment so if you
had any mountain bike a kayak a canoe something that you wants you bring with
you you can load that in very very easily through this back door as well
versus trying to get it in through the side entrance so two entrances
definitely with function in mind so it does also have an air conditioner so if
you're in an area where it's a little bit more hot or humid you can use this
to help keep you comfortable on the inside as well so in your wet bath area
you've got your toilet but then you also have your shower as well I really like
this little feature where you can hang towels to dry swimsuit whatever that you
might want to hang what's dry in theirs it's just retracts now another cool
thing is this particular shower actually pulls through this compartment that's
down here to the outside so if you've got a muddy dog or if you've got muddy
feet sandy feet something like that you don't want to traipse inside you can
actually take this off thread it through this door right here to the outside be
able to rinse off outside before that you come to the inside so here's where
that outside shower comes into play where you can thread that shower through
from the inside to the outside you also have your holding tank dump right here
now something to know about this there is not a separate gray in black tank it
is a combo gray black tank so you would dump both of those tanks that go into
the same holding tank with your sewer dump right
outside here so here you've got two 20-pound propane tanks so plenty of
propane to keep you going in those off-road situations to be able to use
your cook stove and to be able to get warm water so this is where your propane
is located and it has plenty of capacity to be able to carry what you need so
another fun thing about RV shows is when you run across stuff that is just kind
of way out of the realm of what you would think with typical RV right now
our son it's just totally digging on this Sherp off-road vehicle that's got a
little sleeping area inside of it and he just thinks that this is amazingly cool
but one of the fun things that you run into stuff like this that is just kind
of outside of the box of your traditional RV thinking and it's always
fun to check out and just see what's up incoming what sort of vehicles that
people are making to go out and enjoy the outdoors so another great reason to
come to an RV show is you can get special show pricing on the RVs
RV manufacturers actually give incentives to dealers to bring their units out to
the shows so when you come out to the show so you'll see special show pricing
thing that they have on the different rigs this is because the manufacturers
have given them not an incentive to do that for the show so you can get a
really good price by coming to an RV show versus just going to the dealership

going to shake all my flappy areas
I don't know how I feel after that experience was definitely moving my body
in all of the non-muscular areas if you're catching my drift
so let's you know this is strange this is a new camp tag XL this is a
teardrop trailer by New Camp and we're gonna give you a tour of this today it's
not a very big trailer but we want to make sure that you see everything there
is to see on the inside it's not gonna take a lot of your time so I am sitting
in the tag by New Camp now this is a tear drop trailer so this is something that
you would want if you were wanting to go way off road really get out there not
have a lot of weight behind you but you don't want to sleep on the cold hard
ground so you do have a sleeping area in here that is just about big enough for
sleeping and maybe changing your clothes if you're halfway laying down
I definitely cannot stand up on the inside of this because is not that spacious
however you do have some comforts you've got air conditioner you've got a
television you've got some cabinet space up here so you can put a few things up
here like maybe some toiletries or whatever else that you might need to put up in the cabinets that
are on either side you've got a little stereo system here
you could enjoy some music while you're hanging out I'm hearing like a couple
small cubbies up here as well and then a couple of cup holders back here
one thing I do like is kind of the spacious little sunroof if you will
that's off the back side of this that you can open up to the outside air being
inside of here kind of just reminds me of those days as a kid kind of tank
camping when you know we would stake out our spot and let's take out our little
cubby to put our stuff the other thing that this has for storage it's above
here and you've got new sliding areas up here that you've got for storage so a
little bit of storage space that you've got in here it got an outlet here you've
got some USB charging ports on the opposite side from where this outlet is
here and let's let's take the true test now I'm just under six feet tall I'm a
pretty tall girl so let's see if my feet and head if there is enough room for the
both of them to not touch all right my feet are right against the wall
and I've got this much space for my head touches oh this much space where my feet
in my head are not both touching let's move up just a smidge they're not
touching that room but it's not touching either so
if you're claustrophobic you probably don't want this but if you're not and
you want to go more off-road its back in the woods then this might be something
that you wouldn't consider let's go take a look at the outside kitchen so in the
back you have your outdoor kitchen so you'd have to come out here to cook any
meals but you've got a two burner propane stove we've got a small sink
something here is where you could you put some things for storage as far as
cooking is concerned or even down here it does have a microwave but you would
have to be hooked up to electrical power to operate that and then you've got a
very large heavy cooler that this comes with this is not powered by
electricity you do have to do it the old-fashioned way and add ice into it
but you do have this to help keep food cold especially when that you are out
and about out in those backwoods types of areas so here's your outdoor kitchen to
be able to come out here is cook some food it has these fun little window
shades that you just twist open and shut which is kind of fun it like I don't
know it makes you think of something kind of psychedelic or whatever
it's less than two thousand pounds before that you put anything in it so
it's very possible to tow with a lot of different vehicles that are out there is
it's not a very heavy trailer it is equipped with solar as well as a roof
rack so that you can put any of your outdoor toys up on the roof so this
trailer is pretty rugged you've got diamond plating and fenders and you've
got really good off-road tires as well as great ground clearance so if this is
something where you want to go way out in the backwoods this would be a great
option some front you've got your propane tank and then you've got your
battery as well as just kind of some cargo space here so if you wanted to
throw another cooler on or something like that you've got a little bit of
space here for cargo you've got two step ups here and some handles here it's just
helped you get up to that roof rack pull anything down that you might need to
pull off of that roof rack so you've got pretty sturdy space to be able to get up
there or if you just want a place to kind of sit down on the outside as well
because there's not a lot of other room to bring things like camp chairs or
stuff like that with you so it's nice to have some seating on the outside because
it's harder to bring those larger items in something this small
...Music playing...
so another great reason to attend an RV show is to visit with some of the
different vendors there's a lot of campgrounds that are represented at
RV shows lots of different RV accessories outdoor accessories and it's
a great place to be able to research campgrounds talk to potential
camprounds that you might want to visit a lot of them will have RV shows
specials where you can get a night free to go check them out and then a lot of
the vendors that have outdoor equipment also have show specials so you could
pick yourself up a paddleboard or something else you might want to use in
the outdoors for a really good price so thank you so much for watching this
