Sir, I am 4’11”. I think I am going to be fine. 😅

[Mara-tqqd]

Right, they're not far everyone, just us short people😁😅

This one cracked me up and just had to share it! I just bought a 2017 Coachman 17FB which is perfect for me as a solo camper and only 5'8". My 6'4" nosy neighbor came over to check it out and he looked like one of the many clowns in the clown car. :) He could not fit in the shower, was hitting his head on the A/C, bead was to short. :) As they always say there's no perfect camper for everyone.

🤣Love it! Now I know my tiny self deserves one! 🌻

[GodsArmyOnEarth]

He’s telling you not to buy them so he can buy them all! 😂👁

That was good stuff I was just able to purchase a 1954 Scotty you had me going for the first minute I'm looking forward to this challenge

That was hilarious, thank you so much. I needed a laugh today. I sold my 1971 Shasta Compact in March, and just bought a 1971 Shasta LoFlyte that I’ll be picking up at the end of the month.

[seangilbert]

Oh my God that's hilarious. Best part is I'm the same size as he is. 6'4, 279# but I still love my 1954 mallard. All great pointers though!😂

Build your own and you can alleviate all those. I got a tandem axle Shasta Astroflyte I designed on sketchpad I plan to pull behind my 58 Delray. With bathroom and full rear bed. I widened it to modern camper width and raised the ceiling height.

[ROMANEMPIRE]

My gramps used to have one of those 3 axle behemoths that had a full sized bathroom, large kitchen and bedroom, sliding glass door as well as a regular door, and some additional spaces. We used to like to play in it. He would get mad. 😜

🤣🤣🤣 probably why my 6’4” husband looked at me funny when I mentioned I wanted one - big enough for me 5’5” with little pups

[ironcladranchandforge]

That guy is HUGE, LOL. He reminds me of my son. I'm happy being only 5'10". I'm currently remodeling a 1986 slide in truck camper. Almost done. It's tight though, even for 5'10", but not bad. At least my head doesn't hit the ceiling,

0:17 me when I’m trying to explore something in one of my video games.

I am 6' 7" tall and I weigh 350 pounds, I am about to restore a 32 foot Holiday Rambler and I have plenty of room. BUT there is NO WAY I would camp in a camper as small as the one on your video.

[doublebable]

You can solve half the problems by eating less and taking a few walks.

[kimberlyfisher]

I think Rob referring to himself as "normal" is quite 😊

[marcusguajrdo]

being a giant cave man would solve all these issues

[ginapowell]

Very good advice. Another reason is the 10-year rule that more and more RV parks are implementing. If you're buying for a backyard bunkie, guest bunkie, or you have a private lot or seasonal lot that permits it then you're good to go, but if you're planning on road trips and stopping at RV parks along the way check with the park rules first.

Ya and that guy shouldn't buy a Prius either.
