We took 5 years to make a decision on a TT, almost purchased a Mini-Lite until we went inside the 22MLS. Signed the papers that day. Thanks Uncle Josh

[GavinSwick]

I come for the amazing RV showcases, I stay for the Short Circuit references! 😂

I can't tell you how many times to this day I'll still randomly say "your momma was a snowblower!" 😂😂😂

This is an AWESOME couple's camper. I don't care for having the entrance right next to the bed and I personally prefer a true couch instead of theater seats, but it really feels like nitpicking when they've done such a great job on 98% of it. 👍😍

Josh out of so many of the ones that you have done in the past I really like this floor plan. Not only that but in road mode I like the idea that you can still move around without killing yourself to try to jump over stuff lol. And the way that they are sectioning off the plumbing and wiring is definitely a winner. The thought of having even a minor leak and having it damage so many components has always been a worry for me whenever it comes to choosing a camper. But this one is definitely one of my favorites when it comes to the half ton series of trucks to be used to tow it. Although my Tacoma wouldn’t tow it the halftime we plan on getting definitely would. So keep on rocking those RVs buddy. I’m gonna find the perfect one yet with your reviews Josh 😁

[judithmoore]

A drop down TV bracket is a available. I was watching a tiny house video, and it showed a large TV that dropped down very nicely.

[glenngardin]

WOW! That is a very, very nice trailer, Josh! If there was an outside fridge, I'd call it perfect!

[johnmaclellan]

The one thing they seem to have missed is a privacy curtain for the bed

[larkendelvie]

I really like that Cougar focused on fixing the details on this model. The bed is amazing, I love the new slide mechanics that allow usage when retracted and I love the trash can space. Looks really nice.

[JamesGoodin-USMC-]

nonsense, you have a life and it is to enricher our lives with valuable camper information, which I know we all appreciate. Thx Josh.

"Stephanie, ... No disassemble!!! Johnny 5. is... alive!" (from the great movie "Short Circuit") Good to know I'm not the only one who appreciated this movie! I forget the actress who played Stephanie, but she was pretty hot!

[miketaylor]

Thanks Uncle Josh! We have a 2205 mini lite that we love. I think we would enjoy the dinette for a little extra seating. Keep up the great work! 👍👍😎😎

[peterkunka]

We love and use our 2023 22MLSWE (Western edition) often, from weekend trips to 8-9 day multi-State outings. Nice that the front storage compartment was opened up and created more walk around bedroom space, but, ugh... another hot vent added under the awning area (limits seating area, and scares the dog when the heater starts up). The front window doesn't do anything for us, we prefer our solid front wall. I like the shoe cubby under the dinette, we really like our full length dinette drawers for storing kitchen appliances (looks like the shoe cubby and water heater shortened them now). The kitchen sink swap is throwing us, we like ours on the left so it's more usable in road mode (we can fit a standard 13 gallon kitchen trash can under our sink). I'm 6'4" and a 'relatively' fit 230 lbs and I'm comfortable in the bathroom and shower. Nice to see they kept all of the bathroom countertop space and cabinets. We like bath towel hooks, that bar looked pretty small for two full sized towels. The theater seats are surprisingly comfortable, and the tv is in a great spot... we like that it doesn't obstruct the window. Heating/cooling is very capable... our max hi/lo outdoor temps are 95 and 26, and no issues maintaining inside thermostat set temps. Nice to see the suspension upgrade... we installed the MORyde system with 1/2" shackles and wet bolts. Yes, your propane tanks shrunk! We have the 400 watt solar package, two lithium batteries (200 Ah total), and a 2K inverter, so running a coffee pot or hair dryer plugged in one of the labeled inverter outlets is really nice while boondocking. Double check your listed holding tank capacities... ours is 54 gallons fresh, but, 38 gallons each for gray and black, not 30 gallons that you show... unless confirmed they shrunk, too! Road mode is really fantastic... so many times we plan our stops knowing we have access to the bathroom, sink for washing hands, our lunch is kept cool in the fridge, and we have a comfortable dinette to relax for a bit to eat/review maps/etc. Nice review and glad to see this camper is still doing so well. I'll add that it's easy to tow on the road, and really maneuverable (get the rear back-up camera installed) in gas stations/grocery store parking lots/campgrounds/etc.. I'm towing ours with a 2023 Ford F-150 crewcab XLT 4WD shortbed with the 3.5L ecoboost, 10-speed auto, 3.55 gears, with an Equalizer hitch and Firestone airbags. Cheers! Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL

[yvettechristensen]

Wow, I really love this trailer! Thanks again for including road mode.

[PlayItForTradition]

Road MODE, FTW! Absolutely love the details and why/how frequent features are present.
Also, the SPECs layout is really, really nice visually and timed great. Stick with that change!

[Scoopy]

When you showed the dining table and the bed in travel mode I said Wow ! Plus, the suspension and ABS package. Greatly needed for our bad roads in Quebec .
I would buy it.

[EarthlingYuji]

Thanks for the great video.

I love the drawers in the bedroom since we need a place to put socks and underwear.
And the suspension upgrade is very nice.

I’m debating with myself we should have a private bedroom like 25MLE or 25RDS. But 22MLS will be my choice if we decided not to need a private bedroom.

Two things I’ve recently noticed is that many travel trailer’s dining area do not have an electric outlet and that many sofa areas do not have USB plug-in ports (some have only wireless charger which is not useful if you want to use the phone while charging).

I’m planning to use the dinette as a workstation which need an electric outlet for a laptop and a monitor and checking SNS with my phone sitting on couch rather than watching TV. Running long extension cords is not pretty.
I hope Cougar will add an electric outlet at dining areas and USB plug-in charging ports if there isn’t one there yet.

[tanyabrownparham]

Josh, I love all the knowledge you provide; especially for first timers. Being that we are first timers I don’t want to jump into something too large and would like to tow it with our F-150. I’ve seen several of your 1/2 ton towable videos, but it would save a lot of time surfing through the thousands of videos if they were consolidated into a 1/2 ton towable playlist. I’m not sure how labor intensive that would be for you, but it would definitely be appreciated.

[salliannebrown]

I laughed because right before you asked, I said, "I hate cleaning the track on a slide shower door." People think the retractable doors are flimsy, but that seems to be inaccurate. My friends with Airstreams love them. Overall, I love this camper!

[deborahadams]

We are planning on purchasing a camper by next spring and I feel in love with this camper it has everything I’ve been looking for in a camper thanks for this amazing video josh!

[theartistjodievans]

I LOVE a traditional dinette with storage under the benches! And, I love it when behind one side there is a plain wall so that I can put up a picture or poster behind me. I do content creation and I work in the dinette. My partner prefers a free standing table and chairs, I hate the lost storage benches. But I can keep him happy with theater seating. This would work well for us. The only thing I worry about with this layout in every brand is the toilet space. Also, we prefer a true queen bed. Those few inches of storage are more important to us on the sides. And, we actually like each other, so we don’t need a giant bed! 😂

[b.sutton]

I prefer either a shower curtain, or the retractable doors to the plastic/solid doors.
