2026 Ember RV E-Series Spark 19ETS Review
Are you looking for a small, lightweight travel trailer that can get you and up to six other campers off-grid in comfort? But also one that, you know, could offer storage for extended solo or couple’s expeditions? (You have quite a list there, don’t you?) Well, look no further than the uber-versatile 2026 Ember RV E-Series Spark 19ETS. This affordably priced travel trailer offers everything you need to be comfortable, wherever your journey takes you.
One of the best features of this well-constructed travel trailer is its wonderful flex room, which is fully customizable to meet the specific needs of whatever camping adventure you’re on. Ember’s unique EmberTrack system makes it possible to make it into a bunkhouse, work space, storage room, laundry room, and everything in between.
I’m thrilled to give you my more extensive take on this well-executed travel trailer, so let’s get rolling with this review.
At a Glance: E-Series Spark 19ETS
I rated the 2026 Ember RV E-Series Spark 19ETS a 9.3 out of 10. It scored perfectly in most areas due to its ingeniously versatile design. Just over 23 feet long, this camper could easily fit four adult campers, but shockingly, it could also flex to sleep up to seven close-knit friends. However, the E-Series Spark 19ETS offers much more than flexible sleeping accommodations. It offers a host of well-thought-out amenities. (Which, naturally, we’ll look at in depth later in this review.)
There were, however, two areas where the E-Series Spark 19ETS floorplan could have been improved, although neither of them is a “make-or-break” flaw in this otherwise perfect floorplan. Those two ares are kitchen counter space and living room size.

Benefits
- Makes the most of space. The flex space quickly transforms for multiple uses — including storage space for bikes and kayaks on the way to your destination. Afterwards, the space can then transform into a bunkroom or office when you arrive. Which means that there is a surprising space for both things and people, including high ceilings that make the cabin tall-people friendly.
- Off-grid staying power. The holding tanks — often the boondocker’s time clock — are extralarge for travel trailer this size. Plus, the solar energy package has the muscle to power the 12-volt refrigerator and Furrion Chill Cube air conditioner.
- Lightweight for easy towing. The E-Series Spark 19ETS is easy to tow and back up with a half ton pickup or large SUV.
Challenges
- Minimal kitchen counter space. Kitchen counter space is very limited in this floorplan. This would be easy to remedy, with the addition of a flip-up counter on the end of the lower cabinet. Another way to easily add counter space would be inserting a cutting board on top of the upper drawer in the kitchen.
- Limited living room lounge space. The only seats are at the booth dinette. That means there isn’t enough comfortable seating for multiple people to relax together indoors. In the living area, there isn’t really a comfortable spot to lounge. (Especially if you had all eight potential guests indoors on a rainy day.)
Best For
- RV shoppers looking for a high-quality travel trailer with the versatility to adapt as they discover their camping style
- Adventurous outdoor oriented solos or couples, who would use it as a basecamp for outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, or skiing
- Outdoor-oriented families with one or two kids for off-grid camping and fishing
Key Areas We Evaluate for RV Buyers
Sleeping Space: 10/10
The E-Series Spark 19ETS is the only small travel trailer I can think of that can sleep up to seven people. (Or not, depending on how many campers there are and how the flex space is utilized.) With that said, the main sleeping space is on a comfy east-west queen bed. There’s a CPAP-ready shelf with 110-volt and USB/USB-C plugins at one end of the bed. Lifting each end of the shelf reveals a surprising amount of bin storage that could hold small items of clothing, et cetera.
In addition to the main sleeping area, the 72-inch flex space bunks can provide sleeping for four more people. (Make that six if two kids were to sleep on camping mattresses on the floor — there’s lots of room for this too!) And if that’s not enough room, the dinette drops down to transform into one more sleeping space.
One of the best things about this camper is that all the sleeping spaces in the E-Series Spark 19ETS convert into something else. So, if you don’t need the flex area for sleeping, it quickly turns into more practical space that can be customized however you see fit.
Bathroom: 10/10
I’m going to just come right out and say it: The Spark 19ETS has the best bathroom layout I’ve ever seen in a small travel trailer. Everything in the bathroom has enough space around it that even bigger people will feel comfortable. The porcelain toilet enjoys lots of room around it, and the acrylic shower gives enough space and headroom that anyone under 6 foot 2 inches will be able to shower comfortably. A towel bar, hand towel ring, and conveniently placed toilet paper holder add a residential appeal to this bathroom.
Not only is there enough room to move around comfortably in this bathroom, but there’s room left over for storage on big linen storage shelves, as well as smaller shelves that are perfect for storing necessities like toilet paper.
An easy-care stainless steel sink is tucked into a vanity that has a cabinet that’s just right for storing cleaning supplies. Over the vanity is a mirrored medicine cabinet, perfect for storing small items like toothbrushes and hair care and grooming supplies as well as medicines.
Living Area: 7/10
The E-Series Spark 19ETS travel trailer was built for enjoying the great outdoors. And it offers a wealth of sheltered outdoor living space beneath a massive 16-foot power awning. This is where you can set up some camping chairs and a table, grab some beverages, and take in everything that nature has to offer.
Inside, a four-seater legless dinette that allows you to while away rainy afternoons playing cards or your favorite board games. That said, seating space is limited in the main area of the E-Series Spark 19ETS. If you have a larger group indoors, some people will have to either bring a camping chair or sit on the bed.
The flex room can be set up as a really nice workspace. It further transforms into an open-air office when its insect-screen-equipped, awning-style door is opened.
Kitchen: 8/10
The kitchen in the E-Series Spark 19ETS is small, but there’s easily enough amenities and storage for a week’s worth of food and snacks. This kitchen boasts a big, farmhouse-style sink with a high-arch, pull-down spray faucet to make washing dishes or filling tall vessels a piece of cake.
Cooking appliances in this floorplan include a two-burner, inline gas cooktop with a cover that adds much needed counter space as well as a very cool airfryer/microwave/convection oven that is arguably much better than an oven for this RV.
There’s loads of space for storing perishables in a 10.6-cubic-foot, 12-volt refrigerator/freezer that can operate on battery power. While the kitchen itself has two drawers and a few cabinets for storing cooking utensils and dishes, there are a lot of other storage options in this RV for canned and/or dry goods.
For example, each dinette bench seat has a deep storage drawer that could keep snacks easy to access. Also, over the main sleeping space, there are roomy cabinets that could hold dry goods and more.
Four-Season Capabilities: 10/10
Ember RV outfits all of its RVs, including the E-Series Spark 19ETS, to be fully set up for four-season camping. The E-Series Spark 19ETS features a fully enclosed and heated underbelly and radiant-barrier insulation to keep tanks flowing and chilly temperatures at bay. Ember RV offers optional 12-volt tank heaters. (A wise investment if you plan to use it for weekend ski trips or other winter camping adventures.)
Storage Space: 10/10
The E-Series Spark 19ETS has loads of storage space, especially for a travel trailer in the under-25-foot class. This is largely due to the substantial storage availability in the flex space. However, this floorplan boasts a big space under the bed that would be perfect for storing totes containing camping necessities.
I love that outside there’s a relatively big passthrough storage bay for fishing poles, camping chairs, or whatever else you want to bring with you. At the back of the RV, there’s a two- inch accessory receiver with a 300-pound capacity. This is especially useful for those who travel with an e-bike or two. However, it could also be used with a cargo carrier to transport firewood.
Chassis/Suspension: 8/10
Built on an aluminum chassis with a single axle, the E-Series Spark 19ETS is light enough to be towed by mid-sized SUVs and most pickups. However, make note, this model isn’t set up for overlanding adventures. (That would the Overland Series by Ember RV.) The E-Series is built for towing over gravel roads and camping at off-grid campsites — and could do double duty as slopeside accommodation for weekends on the ski hill. Equipped with front and rear quick drop stabilizers, the E-Series Spark 19ETS is built to offer fast setup. (So, you can get on with the camping activities you love.)
Off-Grid/Sustainability: 10/10
Ember RV trailers are built to be enjoyed off-grid. With that said, the E-Series Spark 19ETS is well-equipped for camping at state parks, on BLM lands, or anywhere else where you don’t have access to shore power, water, or sewer hookups. The 400-watt rooftop solar panels team up with a 2,000-watt pure sine wave inverter and Victron MPPT solar controller to offer enough power to run everything in the RV — including the Furrion Chill Cube air conditioner and 12-volt refrigerator.
On top of that, the E-Series Spark 19ETS is equipped with extralarge holding tanks — a 55-gallon fresh water tank, a 35-gallon gray tank, and a 35-gallon black tank. That’s enough holding capacity to stay off-grid for more than a week for two people. (Or more than two weeks for a solo camper.) Overall, the E-Series Spark 19ETS truly shines when it comes to being a comfortable and versatile off-grid retreat.
Build Quality: 10/10
Ember RV goes above and beyond when it comes to constructing travel trailers with quality components. The E-Series Spark 19ETS’s basic construction offers a sturdy aluminum-framed floor, aluminum-framed Azdel composite walls, clad in gel-coated fiberglass, and topped with a durable Tufflex roof. Inside, furniture and appliances are built with comfort, performance, and durability in mind. Ember RV doesn’t seem to cut any corners here. It all adds up to a lightweight-yet-rugged design that should last through many camping seasons.
Value: 10/10
The 2026 Ember E-Series Spark 19ETS dishes out a lot of value for anyone who loves camping. Its unique combination of easy towability, off-grid capability, and superior four season amenities add up to a travel trailer that you’ll want to use all the time. This alone makes it a great value. However, features like a flex room that can be configured as a work space, storage area, or bunk room coupled with fantastic build quality elevate the E-Series Spark 19ETS’s value to a new level of outstanding, compared to other travel trailers in its class.
Closing Notes on the E-Series Spark 19ETS
The 2026 Ember RV E-series Spark 19ETS is one of the most versatile travel trailers I’ve seen in its class. This versatility lets you customize it to the needs of your current camping adventure, whether you’re loading it with mountain bikes or children or both.
This versatility could mean you get to use it more often. In addition, Ember RV built this model from quality components with an eye for detail. Overall, it’s clearly intended to provide many years of recreational fun. That said, the model I looked at was so well constructed that I couldn’t find a single thing out of place. This travel trailer could be perfect as either a starter RV or for those who want to upgrade but don’t want to buy a bigger tow vehicle.
