2021 Freedom Express 192RBS

Well, after selling our Roo 5 years ago, and with the kids no longer joining us... we've decided to get away from tent camping and back in a trailer. So I'm now here in this forum, and looking forward to talking travel with y'all!

Congrats. I just got one Saturday. Being delivered to my house this week. I had a c-class. Decided to down grade and take advantage of the rv since they were paying top dollar for it.
I have one question the two small closets next to fridge. Did you get anything to fully utilize as a pantry?.

Hello,
I have a 2016 192 rbs and added shelves to both pantry cabinets. Now, I can't build furniture but I did put in two pretty nice shelves in there.

Lost most of last year to a water leak in the front window over the bed so we haven't had the chance to do upgrades yet. Just trying to see how we use everything as it is before changing anything.
The closets next to fridge and door are on the list for shelves. We put in stackable wire racks but they are not a long time solution. We did put the stick on spice holders on the doors for 6 seasoning containers and they work great.
Wife wants to keep hang up things in closet on her side of bed so no shelves in there. Put slide in "cubby" containers for overhead storage.
Adding poles and tie downs to awning to secure it while extended.
Doing a week long adventure this weekend to see how we adapt to being in it for extended periods. I'm certain that will give me many ideas about customizing it.
Welcome to the group. Happy camping!

Took it out for our first weekend. No crazy mods yet. We got adhesive towel holder and TP holder for the bathroom rather than drilling holes for the provided holders.

Yesterday I pulled the radio to free the aux in cords. Ran a line to plug the TV in to the radio.

We have yet to out anything in the overhead cabinets. We seen to be flush with storage space in this camper!

Going out again this weekend. Will let you know if we find anything else.

Nick Danger.. What year is yours. What should I be checking to make sure mine does not start leaking. What was the cause of the leak?

I have a 2021 also; but got it last year in Jul.

Front window sill would hold water when it rained. I couldn't find where the water was coming from. Dealer said front window glass over bed was cracked. They replaced it and over compensated sealing around it. Took forever to go thru their steps to ID but they did take care of it and haven't had a problem since.

Nice trailer! I have the 2020 model. I built some shelving in the pantry, and in the cabinet under the TV I built some for dog supplies. Have fun!!

I did the same in the pantry. By chance did you have leak issues under the kitchen sink and bathroom sink. Also water leaking from corner of shower pan?

Not sure about the shower pan, but for under the sinks check all the screwed connections. After 3 years, ours started leaking and it was simply a matter of tightening (hand tight) them up.
