New Rockwood 2104s

We just traded our 35ft 5th wheel for a 21ft travel trailer. Decided to downsize since we only camp 1 or 2 nights at a time. Do you have one like it? How happy are you with the rv? I like the murphy bed, what a space saver!
  • We downsized several years ago from a triple bunk bed KZ Spree to our current Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS which for us has proven to be just about the right size for 2 adults. Yes, the bathroom is about as small as one would want but we're only in there periodically and it serves the purpose just fine. There's lots of galley counter space and even the shallow sofa slide opens up the interior space considerably. Newer versions of ours have a full 80" long queen bed but I managed to extend our short queen ... whether you could do the same is hard to say considering your entry door is near the end of the bed. I'm an early riser so we purposely chose a rear entry trailer so I'd be much less likely to disturb my wife early in the morning as I go in and out of the trailer. Only because you asked - no, we purposely avoided any trailer with a Murphy bed as that severely limits the size of any front pass through cargo compartment which on ours is HUGE. In this size of trailer we also much prefer a sofa instead of a dinette as we more often eat outside anyway ... all personal choice though. Enjoy your new camper! :B
  • We did the same thing and have no regrets. We went from a 32ft 5th wheel to a TT close to yours except it has a kitchen slide (Rockwood 2304DS)and find it a lot easier. Plus as a bonus it is easier to find camping spots both in campgrounds and when boondocking. We did remove the dinette and install 2 recliners now it is just like home.
