The 2016 CrossRoads Z-1 225RB is a lightweight rear bath travel trailer designed for couples or small families who want a simple, easy-to-tow RV with a functional layout and practical camping features. At approximately 25’11” in length with 1 slide-out, this model offers a roomy interior feel while still staying manageable for half-ton trucks and properly equipped SUVs.

It’s part of the CrossRoads Z-1 series, which focuses on affordability, lightweight construction, and straightforward camping comfort without unnecessary complexity.

Rear Bathroom Layout

The standout feature of the 225RB is its full rear bathroom design, which provides extra privacy and space compared to mid-bath layouts:

• Large rear bathroom with tub/shower combo
• Vanity with sink and storage
• Foot-flush toilet
• Linen and toiletry storage space

This rear bath layout helps maximize the central living space while keeping wet/dirty use isolated at the back of the trailer.

Open Living Area with Slide-Out

The main living space includes a U-shaped dinette slide, which significantly opens up the interior:

• U-shaped dinette (converts to extra sleeping space)
• Sofa seating depending on configuration
• Entertainment center at the front wall
• Large windows for natural light
• Overhead cabinets for storage

This layout creates a more open feel than most trailers in this size range, especially when the slide is extended.

Functional Kitchen Setup

The central kitchen is designed for basic camping convenience:

• Three-burner cooktop with oven
• Microwave
• 6 cu. ft. refrigerator
• Double sink with high-rise faucet
• Pantry and overhead cabinetry
• Counter space for meal prep

It’s a practical setup for weekend trips and seasonal camping without unnecessary complexity.

Front Bedroom

At the front of the trailer, the private bedroom includes:

• 60” x 74” queen bed
• Shirt closets on both sides
• Overhead storage cabinet
• Privacy curtain or sliding divider (depending on build)

It provides a simple but comfortable sleeping space for couples or parents.

Lightweight Towability

One of the biggest advantages of the Z-1 225RB is its manageable weight for its size:

• Dry weight: ~5,200 lbs
• Hitch weight: ~600+ lbs
• Length: ~25’11”
• Sleeps up to 4

This makes it a solid option for half-ton trucks, though proper hitch setup (like a weight distribution hitch) is typically recommended for stability.

• a rear bathroom layout for privacy
