Tracer 230 FBS trailer Tour & Review | Welcome to our abode! | Home A Roam S02E03

Welcome to our humble abode. Today we're going to give you a tour of our new rig. And Mel says it's the most level we've been since in the driveway so looking promising. You know the really amazing thing? This site is approximately a seven minute drive from our house. Imagine that. All right so I'm going to give you a little tour of the outside of our new to us trailer. So first of all is the garage. We really like the magnetic clips to hold the door in place so we can easily get all our stuff in. Next we've got our friction hinge door which we had to lube a bit because it was too frictiony but now it's just perfect. So it stays even if there's wind. We have the fold-out kind of stairs which are not quite as secure as the ones that come out and hit the ground. However we like these better because when they get dirty and wet they stay outside of the trailer versus the ones that fold up you get all your dirty and wet inside the trailer. It's got our little bar to hang on to of course and the feature you've all been waiting for outdoor kitchen. Which used to have a bar fridge but we took out because we're going to be boondocking mostly and just don't need a bar fridge so it nicely stores our outdoor barbecue. That really dinged. Another feature that a lot of trailers didn't have that I like is the fact that it has a ladder already pre-installed so even when you're out boondocking you can climb up onto your roof and check things out. While I'm up here another great feature that was already pre-installed are vent covers. So those vent covers mean that even if it's pouring rain we can have our vents open and get lots of fresh air. On this side there's not a whole lot. Our slide of course which gives us lots of interior room. That comes with a slide cover as well which is excellent because if you've got rain or snow or stuff on top of the slide this protects it. And we've got the other side of our garage with that nice magnetic clip and we've got an outdoor shower so even if we're boondocking like this we can turn on the pump and shower things off or shower off our feet if we're on the beach whatever. And around the front here we've got a light by the tongue in case you're doing stuff at night and electric tongue jack. That's about it. Now let's go over to Mel and have a look at the inside of the trailer. Come on in. So one of the first things that really impressed us about this trailer was just the sheer amount of storage. There is storage above and beside the bed. It's a queen size bed by the way. Then there's storage in the entertainment unit above the sink under the dinette bench we have this massive huge um you know double floor to ceiling height all storage like we haven't even been able to fill it yet. Um and then there's also another big area of storage in the bathroom above the the toilet area so that was really really cool for us. We thought just we'll be able to fit anything and everything for long-term travel it'll be perfect. Um the other thing that we really really love is that we were able to find the trailer with a separated bedroom so we each have doors on our bedroom side of our bed rather um that we can close and open so and they're good latches too they're not these plastic straps they're these like proper metal latches and so I can close the and I can open the door. So yeah um and then we've got a pretty large kitchen area here um pretty large fridge we're pretty happy with it. Again not enough stuff to be able to fill it although we're just on a short trip right now. And then in the bathroom again we have a pretty good sized bathroom we can walk in without tripping over a toilet um we can shower very comfortably we'll let you see the size of this shower stall it it's a good size um and then again more storage above the toilet so yeah we're pretty happy with it. The one thing that we didn't get was the super light whites and gray interiors but um it's still fairly light in here and we can change that we can put up you know different wallpaper if we want right Benny? Benny is settling in fairly well right but he loves looking out the windows. Huge windows in the kitchen by the in the dinette um we really really like that. I'm trying out the cast iron pot for the first time and I'm gonna make some soup. So I've got my onion and then I'm gonna add to that some hot Italian sausage meat and some vegetables broth um yeah we'll see how it turns out I'm winging it. So the soup turned out pretty good um after the sausage meat and the onion I also added in some celery some carrots some spinach some um what else did I put in here parsley and what's that cabbage called savoy cabbage I don't know some kind of fancy cabbage anyways looks good enough to eat it's pretty tasty it's very green but it tastes really good oh and chicken stock of course yeah healthy soup healthy soup so that's our new rig we really like it so far it's been working really well and uh more to come yeah it's great and in the meantime don't forget to like this video subscribe to our channel leave comments share with your friends etc etc and remember when you roam everywhere is home I think I'm in the wrong key what do you call this thing a friction next we've got our friction door is that where the uh uh uh happens oh I don't know about that we butchered that but that's okay that's the first time I picked up that ukulele in months so cheers to that
