Calendar Event: No Bo 19.5 Posted: 02 Nov 2018 at 7:24am |
Took a tour of a No Boundaries 19.5 yesterday. Really like the floorplan and set up of the No Bo. Forest River addressed a lot of thing that I was looking for a) bigger refrigerator b) direction of the bed c) full bathroom d) window in door.
In checking it over closely I found a few things that didn't impress but it is still a really nice floorplan.
Still really reasonable weight. Only 2' 8" longer.
Still really thinking of upgrading this spring!

The '16 series' seems to be more r-pod-like but what a waste of space on interior cabinetry!!

Check the width of the larger nobo box. The rPods are 77 inches allowing for a short 74 inch queen plus 1inch on either side for the walls plus a bit for finishing trim.
The bigger nobos appear to be 80 inches inside to allow for an 80 inch queen or 60 inch with 10 inches to get around either side. So the box has to be at least 83 inches wide.
If that works for you then great but it’s not the same trailer, you might need extended mirrors and/or not like the visibility. If the wider box is ok for you then you might want to go wider yet, there are lots of choices at that point.
For me, the narrow width of the rpod is a key feature and I wouldn’t want a trailer that’s any wider.,

I saw that number in the specs mcarter, but it sounds too wide for the box based on the stated 80 inch queen interior. FR has an odd number for the rPod width too so I'm wondering if anyone has actually measured the box on the nobo?

On their web site. The different series have different standards packages and different option packages etc.

I was looking at the No Bos and the toy hauler caught my interest. I've always wondered how I could take a golf cart or 4-wheeler along. Once it's out of the "garage" upon reaching the destination, there's a lot of open space.

I like the NoBo 19.5 but there is one thing I wish it had and that is a fiberglass roof.
