You’d be surprised but a lot of us older folks would be looking forward to seeing an oven in there. Hard to change from our old ways! Great looking RV. We’re not too crazy about those twisty things on the outside doors either. (I think that’s what you called them!)
Yep. Oven please!
Dislikes:
1. Needs a window on the front of the bunk area - better light
2. Walk space between table and theater seats seems a bit tight
3. Wish they could have put in a washer/dryer with all those storage cabinets
Loves:
1. I really like the decor (sorry Andrea) the light furniture and counter top brighten it enough for me
2. The tall windows on each side of the TV rather than the long low window we've seen. Much better option
3. Awesome storage - inside and out
We would totally consider getting this one :)
I like the seats being up front so everyone can see and travel together. My dislikes no solar installed. This is one I could drive for sure!!!!😇😷😎
Matt I love ovens! I wouldn’t buy a RV without an oven. 🤷🏽♀️
I can't think of anything I would do with an oven other than warm up a frozen pizza
I bet you're a great cook.
Me too!
The propane ovens found in RVs are almost worthless. IME, convection ovens are far more reliable and consistent. Once you understand how they work, you'll find you get much better results from even an inexpensive convection oven than you will with the most expensive propane units.
Dislikes: no 2nd window on bunk for cross ventilation, accordion door, no oven.
Likes: all the windows, the entire bedroom set up, especially the storage and night stands, bunk weight, love the kitchen, the dinette and theater seats!! This one is a definite WIN!! Ps! I also love the drawers inside cabinets!!
Thor, GREAT sink, nothing is more annoying than a divided sink where you can’t fit a pot or dish to clean. The theater seating and storage is amazing. If it just had a small washer dryer that would be perfect. Also, love the interior colors.
We like this unit. Lots of storage, good TV placement, love theater seats. Wish cab seats swiveled. Agree with not liking twistie doors.
Andrea with the 'ding' at the end! Priceless.
Your videos are so much better when you don't rush through them. Well done. thank you
Dislikes: NO Conventional Oven, radial shower (cheap hoses and shower head, short goose neck faucet in bathroom sink), only one AC unit. Likes: Ford Chassis, over all kitchen design, generator placement under dinette! Great Review You Two (G.R.Y.T)!!!!
Preferred lighter cabinet colors and where's the euro look?!! Love the openness of the bed on each side. Also people(like me)who travel with cats would like one of the storage compartments set up for a litter box from the inside. Can be serviced from the outside. Yeah, and another thing there was lot of closet space to install a combo
w/d. That would make this a perfect motor home
I absolutely agree. A washer/dryer, preferably a stackable one would be much needed for me. Of course with the cargo carrying capacity being so low I imagine that is the only thing you could have in there besides maybe to skinny people ☺️ 😜
LIKE:
1. theater seating w/ tv placement
2. Vents not on floor
3. Spacious
4. Storage
DISLIKE:
1. Not enough window(s) in bunk
2. Not enough drawers in pantry
3. Cabinet color (I’d prefer lighter)
Overall, I definitely like this one especially knowing you have options such as lighter cabinets. Also, tower of power was placed properly.
Love the side mirrors with blinkers, auto leveling, paint job outside. Don't like white furniture it shows dirt too fast prefer couch brown cabinets white. Don't like dinnet prefer desk along wall opens up more walking area and provides woorking/table area.
When you have a set order to see things and say the same phrases, that's Art Deco, right? Love the channel, don't change a thing!!
3 things I like
-the 2 way stove.
-12V Fridge
-It's a Thor
3 things I dislike
-Accordion door
-Accordion Door on bedroom (so bad it counts as 2)
-Radius Shower
Likes:
Theatre Seats
Walk around bed
Tv Location
Dislikes:
Wet bay
Door latches
No oven
This is one of the best I’ve seen! Love it!
RV is almost perfect.. if it had about 8 more inches in the slide-out to give a more roomy feel, I would buy this in a heartbeat.
Hey Andrea, You didn’t change clothes during the video! 😆
Likes:
Plenty of exterior and interior storage space including drawers inside the cabinets. Theater seats directly across from the tv and the booth seating. Bed is usable with the slide in.
Dislikes:
Exterior including small tires, twist lock storage doors, non-lockable water fill, and dump area. TPO roof and only one air conditioner. Interior including hallway step, round shower, and no oven.
Very nice class C.
Likes:
Theater seats
Auto leveling
Kitchen
New outside colors, way better.
Dislikes:
No solar installed
For this size unit, you need two AC units.
Bedroom. love that
Pretty small water, gray and black tank sizes
Thor is doing a good job on these Class C's. Like their Super C's, it has the Induction/gas combo cooktop, Contoure rapid cold fridge, tankless water heater. Even have good size counter space in kitchen. I would make couple changes to make this great Class C into an perfect Class C. Since it already have an big wardrobe in the bedroom, the wardrobe infront of bathroom should be optioned as at least washer/dryer combo ready. Then, I would make the night stand cabinet on the left side of the bed a little narrower and make the bathroom bigger. By doing so, you could put a bigger rectangular shaped shower on the right side and move the sink and toilet to the left side of the bathroom.
Great review guys! Thank you for doing a class C ( under $100.000 )
Likes
Just about everything
Theater seats and TV placement
All the indoor storage, kitchen, bath, bedroom
Just a couple more
propane quick connect covered
roominess with slide in
light colored couch and dinette
Dislikes
Passenger side of cab, Andrea didn't seem to like it and I would like a computer pull out table
No outdoor TV
Would like the windshield in the upper cab
I agree with Andrea, would like lighter cabinets, a light cream would be nice
Matt, I'm just commenting here because I would have written the same thing. He must be a fellow Art Deco member, hehe
LOVE theater seats, all the interior storage, bunk capacity (holds actual adults)...and tanklesss water heater. Also like the panel inside the door being raised up instead of having to hunchback down to it. Dislikes...step into bedroom, small tanks, and dark wood. I saw the new Thor lighter interior in Garrett's video, and its FANTABULOUS!
I love this one. Love the deep, plentiful storage. Bedroom with actual nightstand and good window placement. Good layout overall.
Dislike, induction and burner. Not crazy about the microwave. Theater seat seem a bit close to the dinette. Matt's feet were almost touching so would be an issue for taller folks.
I love this entire motorhome. No dislikes.
I will have to say that Thor hit this one out of the park! Best floor plan I've ever seen in a Class C. Love the theater seating across from the TV, the closet space is as big as I've seen, the kitchen looks nice, the exterior is a BIG step up and looks fabulous, outside storage is great too, and 800 pounds in the bunk! I have to agree with Andrea, the cabinets need to be lighter and I'm glad that it's at least an option, slam latch doors should be on there too. Great motorhome that someone could actually full time in and, of course, the best review team in the business! Really enjoy them all.
Andrea, thanks for mentioning how tired you are of the dark cabinetry. Matt, if you can find one, Chateau has an interior option called Ivory Coast available with the Home Collection. It’s beautiful! I think Andrea would love it! I love the floor plan of the 31B and would love to hear your review if you can find one in your travels.
Andrea dark colors looks cozy in the camper.
The bunk holds 800lbs which is crazy!! But that's almost as much as the entire CCC.
Great video as always 😃 I just love y'all
ONCE AGAIN, SHOW US THE ENTEGRA EMBLEM 36U PLEASE!!
YA KNOW THATS THE ONE MY WIFE WANTS!!I ALREADY TOLD HER YOU WERE GONNA DO THAT THIS WEEK!!
COME ON YOU GUYS, PLEASE!!!
THANKS, RICK & KAREN
Like the theater seats plus speakers, like the drawers and plenty storage spaces, like the large fridge. Wish they had king bed instead. My husband is 6’3”. Plus would like roof window above the bunk. I guess we’re looking for a super C that has washer/ dryer stackable.
Andrea mentions that the bed is accessible even when boon docking. Does that mean you can't/shouldn't open your slides when boon docking? Sorry, amateur here.
When boondocking out in open lands it is fine. Do not pull out your slides (if possible) when overnighting it at Walmart/Cabala's/ Cracker Barrel or truck stops.
Like storage inside and out, lp connect behind a door so it stays clean, tv placement, bedroom, accessible with slides in
Dislike gas fill on passenger side, no connect for portable solar panel, twist locks
Class C Luxury Awesome 👍👍👍
Nice rv !
My husband and I love how you can get to the bathroom and use the bed with slides in
Love the tv placement
Stove top is nice
We dislike the night stands being so much higher than the bed , could see someone hitting their head on them !
Dislike the potable water not being behind a locked door
Do not like that there is no oven ! Not fans of convection microwaves !
Very nice review , awesome as always !
Thanks !! 😁
There is little to hate about this layout. I would love a bathroom window so not to feel claustrophobic. The 🛏️ room is outstanding for those who love to move around the bed 🛌 in order to straighten the sheets and blankets. I would give this motorhome a 9+ out of 10.
We bought a 2021 31W, Storage inside is amazing, solid surface counter tops, self leveling and two A/C units, and a residential fridge. The new engine is nice and powerful. One thing we dislike is there is no way to drain the fresh water tank from the outside. You have to lift the bed and unscrew a board to get to the tank.
Likes: theater seats, accessible bed with slides in, rapidcold refrig.
Dislikes: radius shower, step up before bath, lack of solid door for bedroom (accordion door NIOT good)
Likes - side cameras, single sink and large counter space, large refrigerator, bed is usable when slide is in.
Diskikes- dark wood cabinets, valances
This one is a contender. Likes: 1. It's pretty on the inside and outside 2. Bed is always a bed! 3. Theatre seats! Dislikes: 1. gas is on the wrong side 2. dump station / tanks whatever that was is weird 3. over 30' womp-womp
Love how that awning matches the outside paint............tons of storage............not a fan of overhead bunks. Hey Andrea!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like it and would love to own one except… a few MAJOR flaws in my opinion. 1 - Single AC in Texas is no go, 2 WHY are the fuel and water fill on the passenger side, 3 I really prefer an enclosed insulated wet bay / docking station! Still love the fridge, microwave and general layout!
Love this one! ♥️
I'm like Andrea, love the floor plan but would like it even more in lighter colors. Would prefer solid window treatments.
Great review. Thanks.
This is the best floor plan. We may have to come and see you.
Hi Matt and Andrea!
I love this class C motor home.There is a few I don’t like and you both named 2 out of 3 because I don’t have a 3 one just two. The awning with automatic sensor and the storage door how it opens and closes. Other than that I love everything else. Love the refrigerator. Thank you Thor and thank Matt and Andrea love you both and see you next time. Stay safe.
3 Likes:
1. Interior storage is amazing in this coach. Totally agree with you Andrea.
2. I like the kitchen area. Induction and propane stove, refrigerator is great, large convection microwave and huge sink.
3. I like the pricing. Very reasonable.
3 Dislikes:
1. Slide in walking path to the front of the coach looks really tight. My bulldog would hate it and take it out on me as I would be driving. Not good!
2. Twist closures on the outside. Hate them.
3. No splash guard behind the sink facing the dinette. I can see bad things happening and they would totally be my fault. I know this. I own this. I do my best to safe guard myself and others for this pain. Help a girl out, would ya? Splash guard please.
Matt. What about the shower for your dislike? I guess that is just a given! That’s my dislike along with yours and Andrea’s list. Storage is good. Love all of the windows. Love the exterior white body and accent paint. Overall good job Thor!
😎✌🏻🤙🏻🤘🏻😎
I think this is the RV we have been looking for ❤️ Dislike. Is the outside colors. Likes: outside kitchen / Inside kitchen counter space amazing / storage inside and outside.
We love the floor plan and the theater seating and the fridge. Dislikes are color scheme. Maybe white cabinets which you said was an option, but we don't care for the color of the seating. Last but not least, room for a washer/dryer combo. I wouldn't care if they put it outside even. I think that could be a solution. Other than those things, we really love this RV.
❤️ the theater seats!!!! With the center console!
Love the storage space in bedroom!
Dislike the the accordion door in the bedroom. I like a solid sliding door.
Dislike the fact no wind sensor on the awning!!
I don’t like the locks on the outside storage. I like slam lock.
I like the theater seats and the large refrigerator.
One thing I don't like no solar. but overall I like this one very much.
hey matt i love how you say yes mama i hope i speeled it right but if not you get it but just so polite how you say that to your wife thumbs up
Hi you two!!!
Dislikes: According door in bedroom. Hate those things, so flimsy!! Didn't really see anything else I didn't like!!
Likes: the double wardrobes!! So much space in there!!! Especially for a C Class. Love the light furniture and the little darker cupboards and drawers. Love the light and dark color scheme. Sorry Andrea, but I like the valances. Love the kitchen, and the fact that they are going away from ovens!! Total waste of space putting in an oven!!!
Awesome motorhome!!!
Very cool lay out. Like kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Totally would look into buying
Likes: kitchen with all the storage, bathroom, bedroom. Dislikes: TPO roof, V8, no solar. Overall a very well layed out floorplan, love all the storage. Was there a computer tray for the passenger? Nice review, M&A.
I want to full time in a class C, but are there any with a combo washer/dryer? I know they are not the best but better than nothing.
Could you take one of wardrobes out and put in stackable w/dryer?
I was wondering the same thing...?
LOVED the dinette (with seatbelts) & theater seating WITH a perfect positioned TV!! LOVED that the entire coach is accessible with the slide in!! Dislikes: outside storage needs slam latches but I liked that they mostly opened down and not up. Disliked that the cab didn't have steps into it. This is going on my shortlist of things to see at the next RV show I go to.
Edit: I would like to see this on the Ford Tranist chassis with all wheel drive, if that chassis can handle the weight.
Hello, I love the bunk over the cab, 800lbs is awesome! Love the solid surface countertops, great storage. I don't like not having an oven, nice fridge. Don't like the valences. Colors are dark. Great review Matt and Andrea!!🤗❤❤👍
Likes: the bedside tables, the amount of interior storage, the Exterior paint job and color coordination of (for example) outside power plugs, etc.
Dislikes: the step up to the bedroom, agree about the door latches, and agree about no awning wind sensor
Thank you Andrea for saving us from Matt’s singing! LOL. Just kidding Matt!
You should merchandise a mug that says ‘Well Andrea’
lol I like that idea.
Likes: theater seating, compressor refrigerator, tankless water heater, decals continued over hatch covers. Dislikes: East west bed, but can live with it.
I would love this for our family. The likes and dislikes I agree with.
I love the layout of this RV.
Love the outside colors
Love the quality of the seating and dinette
Love the speakers over the seats. As the theater seats out into the dinette with no space between.
I would think that this basically a 2-persons rig:
Do love
Theater seats
Stove
Storage
Don’t love
No washer and dryer hook up
Dark wood
No outside tv
Likes: theatre seats facing TV, pantry, all the storage
Dislikes: twisty storage doors that drop down, (prefer side opening), step up in hall, accordian door in bedroom.
I like the lighter color cabinets better than the brown ones. We saw one today at Lazy Days in Knoxville, TN with the cream colored cabinets-so pretty!
Love the theater seats and all the wardrobe space. I'm a novice RV'er so I think the automatic leveling is a MUST ... also like the counter space in the kitchen. Don't like the placement of the TP roll but not sure where else they could put it.
It is a beautiful RV I just wish that it have a washer and dryer that is the only thing and I do agree with the awning
IF THIS WAS PREPT FOR A COMBO W/D AND LARGER STORAGE TANKS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THREE THUMBS UP 👍👍👍
The Chateau 31B is prepped for a washer and dryer. www.thormotorcoach.com/chateau/floor-plans/31B - Steve from TMC.
@@ThorMotorCoach Thanks Steve! I like the 31B floor plan layout better! Are the tank sizes larger to handle the W/D needs? I would hope for 60/40/40 minimum!
@@rcb8526 The 31B is 40/31/35. You'd have to step into a class a for a fresh water tank at that capacity. The extra weight between 40 and 60 gallons would add about 165lbs which would impact your OCCC. - Steve from TMC
Great RV matt. thank you. this may be the one for us!
Just 2 comments one hate accordian doors. I do like that Thor is addressing the Quality issue (real or imangined) by providing a warentee. That is a big good on them!
Classic style motorhome.. definately liked it..
I love the storage in this unit!
Nice job again guys - love the TV placement and theatre seating. Would love a king bed for the length of the motorhome. I'm with Matt on the shower - I love huge showers even if it means a little less storage.
I like this one!
Few items I don't like the step into the bedroom
Don't care for the valance colors but workable
Love the theater seats
Love the TV location
Love the counter space
Don't care for those showers but workable
I don't like the twisty doors either Matt
Very very nice
Love the theater seating, bedroom night stands are huge, kitchen very nice. Hate no captain seats, not a fan of shower, dont like an east west bed
First off as a general comment about all motor homes with solid counter tops. They look great but my question is what do you do or where do you place the sink cover pieces when they are not in place? Put them on the counter? under the table? Id like to see a spot under the top cabinets where you could slide them in so they would be out of the way. Very simple bracket could solve this.
Likes:
1)Towing capacity.
2)You don't need to extend the slide out to use the bed.
3)Storage
Dislikes:
1) Small holding tank capacities.
2) small step up within the unit
3) TV over the kitchen table. to much obstruction for a family of 4 when dinning
Definitely like the white exterior. This looks infinitely better than the tan. Like the tankless water heater. The generator, and prep for solar. Like the theater seats. Kitchen is not bad for a class C. And the placement of the TV is excellent for a class C. The best part is Matt and Andrea! This one is definitely more pluses than minuses. I could deal with the shower. The nice big emergency window is a plus. Dislike accordion doors. Not a fan of the short seats in the cockpit. But because of the theater seats. The fact that the front seats don't swivel is a great trade off. HATE the music! LOL! agree with the twist lock doors.
Hard to pick a dislike beyond what's been noted, however, I do not like the stark white but prefer a darker base under the geometric swirls. The stark white just looks "cheaper" to me.
I still want an oven. I wonder why an awning can't cover the entire side of an RV. All that space is "living/entertainment space" and should be covered by the awning.
Otherwise, really like this one. Very nice.
Dont like the dark cabinets, the shower, and the front seats. Love the layout, the fridge and the outside colors. I also agree with your likes and dislikes.
Likes:
1. cameras on side mirrors
2. layout
3. res fridge
4. Auto-leveling
5. Prepped for solar
Dislike:
1. Bunk over cab
2. kitchen sink, prefer a double sink
3. shitter drain in a storage thing where leaks will stay with you
I’m like you guys, it’s hard to find anything I dislike. For me I the latches is a dislike. I’m tall and skinny so the shower works. I love where the tv is placed. I love 800 lbs capacity over the cab. I love the bedroom. I never use an oven anyways so not having one is better for me
Like it. Really like the bedroom storage.
I’d miss the oven. I hate the theater seats with divider in the middle instead of cup holders and controls at the sides- they changed a good design like they used to be to this poor design. Auto level, whole
Bathroom very cool. Bedroom good too. Good point on the wind sensor for the awning too
Just saw this one in Richmond. We want this one. Has a great layout
I liked this a lot. I'm a vacation RVer not a Live-in. Under $100K. New Ford chassis.
I love weight limit on bunk over the cab, the theater seats, and the overall decor! I don’t like the TV over the dinette, the queen instead of king bed or accordion doors.
I do not like the level of the night stands, we would hit our heads on that at night while we are sleeping.. Also need more leg room between dining and recliners. Matt do not sing.haha Love you guys you do a great job.
Likes:
Bedroom with nightstands and bed usable when the slides are in
Theatre seating with TV directly across
Cooktop with induction and propane
Dislikes:
Dark furniture
Accordeon door to the bedroom
Valances
Matt, could you still indicate the CCC (important in view of the huge storage). Thank you.
Andrea said it was 1500lbs
Can’t believe you guys are still in my home state! It is too large! Has to fit in a parking space! I love the convection oven, refrigerator and the conduction stove plus propane burner. The covered sink! Gives much more counter space. So, the kitchen layout is wonderful!!!! Wonder if any of the windows open and have a screen. Didn’t care for the shades. Uncertain about the bathroom design. I actually went to the other two RV places next to General RV. The metal gate was closed. It looks like General RV has much more ground. I wonder what occurs at the Amazon building. You guys aight to check out this area in Ashland. I don’t go to the Richmond area very much!!! I spent time at Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield. It has almost 8, 000 acres s. It is the largest state park in Virginia!!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Yes, Virginia can get chilly. However we are blessed to have 4 seasons!!!! I am located closer to the Skyline Drive!!!! Beautiful foliage viewing in fall too. Enjoy Andrea and Matt!!!!
Great Review Again Guys 👍🏾..
My Dislikes are based on the Price $122,000+ vs Options .. 1. No Outside TV Standard or Even Just Bluetooth Speakers.. 2. Cheap Twisty Door locks.. 3. No Power Awnings.. 4. Too many Step ups.. 5. Didn't see Fans in bathroom.. Thanks guys.. Keep it up.. 😁👏🏾
Love theater seats
Love seating directly across from tv
Love combo cooktop
Dislike no washer/dryer
Dislike outdoor door latches
Dislike accordion door
I like this class C! It seems maybe like more of a couple RV. For that the tv is in an okay position across from the recliners. I don't mind the radial shower. At least it has doors and not just a curtain. I like the bedroom alot. Nice closet. One dislike is probably the rungs on the ladder to the overhead bed. They need to be at least double the size so you feet have a more stable position climbing up them and maybe a little rail on each side to hold on to.
Dislikes - 1. No hookup for a wash/dryer (I think they could have used one of the closets for it) 2. Lower Cargo capacity. 3. Window in the headboard (I would rather have side windows) 4. No desk at passenger seat. Likes - 1. Theater seats and overall layout. 2. Overall storage. 3. Outside appearance.
I like this unit. Great floor plan. Wish it was a little cheaper. Add a solar unit and good to go!
Likes: one big sink, size of the bathroom. The colors ( inside & out).
Dislikes: theater seating (I must be the only one who isn’t in love with them- hard got my dogs & I to snuggle on them) . Cargo carrying capacity is too low. Canopy doesn’t extend length of rv.
I sound like a broken record.. I love to cook and there is no oven let alone a large one. I don't like the dark colors either. Smaller RVS need all the light they can get and color is a huge part of that. With the theater seats I would like to see a counter type table so that there would be more room up front. Love the bunk area (rare for me). Nice and roomy and no TV to make it cramped. The storage space is incredible! Really nice use of space in the bathroom also.
3 Likes:
1: Theatre seats and TV directly across
2: Amazing interior storage
3: High-end features for a Class C (Induction top, auto-levelling, theatre seats, etc)
3 Dislikes:
1: Radius shower
2: Ugly valences
3: Twisty door locks
Awesome review Matt & Andrea.. Honestly I jus the kitchen appliances..
