Good to see you both doing reviews.... I like the idea that you are not "beholding" to one dealer, rather give a more unbiased review.
@@jodor6 uuuuuuu if I iuuiuiuiuuiuiuuuuuuuuiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuiuuuî as ddd
A couple years back another RV couple did a video about Lithium batteries. They said that they need to be in the heated and air conditioned area.
I believe the bed width is about 72 inches. By 80 inches. Huge, for a bed. Plus, the seats are so comfortable that maybe a four inch cushion could be added, for sleeping. A hallway night light near the floor could be added, by the bathroom. Without turning lights on, while people sleep. The counter space is good, when a few more guests are over for food or drinks. People don't mind standing, for a little bit. Sort of like the rare island counter top and sink, in the middle of a trailer. For food and plates Except, it's at the side. Maybe have some led lights underneath the cabinetry, near the back. This way it doesn't always have to be from the ceiling
Once again guys I would like them to take the sink out of the bathroom because the kitchen sink is so close by. You would have a wonderful shower with so much more room. Love that it is all electric systems. Cheers!!!
I agree with you. I was going to comment exactly the same thing. Who needs another sink when the kitchen sink is not even two steps away?
Good point
Not to be contrary but I don’t want anyone washing their hands in my kitchen sink after a trip to the potty. Gross.
As long as you are washing your hands because so many people don’t. What’s worse? I’ll take the sink in the kitchen and be clean.
It’s gorgeous and for a class B pretty amazing. Can’t believe it got the 3P’s! So much storage and room but then again for a very select group of people.
Maybe add right and left side on/off led reading lights, in the back. So, people can read, when the bed is down. Put cushions or pillows While the other side lights are off.
The other person can sleep, if the want.
Love it that you are giving details of the electrical system. That is a big improvement on your Class B review videos!
Exposed Lithium batteries are useless in colder climates. Would have been nice to see the eating area, perhaps in the back?
and in heat will not run the AC for long....need a generator
Those Lithium Batteries are going to freeze during the winter and will not hold charge.
Matt, you and Andrea are a great team! I love your content. Keep it going!! Jeff/Annapolis
Definitely some high spots with this one. I wish you folks would provide the bed length (in inches) for us taller folks who can struggle with Class B beds. Thanks!
The beds are 22 feet long.
@@williamboyle8918 Thanks, William. However, I think there is an error here...22 feet is probably the full length of the coach.
@@danoc51 The beds are 32 feet long
The Airstream 24X has the longest bed option I’ve seen with it being over 80” long in twin bed conversion or making a full king bed if combined. It’s definitely the longest bed option I’ve seen.
Nice Class B…love the push button operation for most things in the coach. Two things I dislike about coach are there’s no outside storage AND the MSRP is entirely too much. I don’t believe that it’s worth $200,000 even with the luxury additions.
Don't forget the sale price is under $160,000. That makes it a bit better.
Yes itus
Love you can leave animals in RV and have a/c going without hookups. I like a dry bath but if they took sink out this could be a decent size shower with toilet on other side of curtain.
In colder weather, some vans have a lirhium battery compartment. With a preset temperature, around the batteries, to keep them working properly. Lithium batteries work best, when they aren't freezing. A preset temperature, about 42 degrees seems to work
Hi Matt and Andrea! My dislikes are it’s dark in there needs more lights and the sliding door opens up just so far. Other than that love everything else about this motorhome. The color I love it on the outside. Love the storage and the bathroom with the three Ps. This is a very nice Rv. Thank you Matt and Andrea abs Rv One of Tampa!
You know when I suggested this class B A few weeks ago (except I asked for four-seater) I wanted to get a good review and honest review and I even said I wanted to know how that bathroom was for doing your business because I have a similar frame to Matt...
Not only did you guys find the RV so quickly Matt even said it's a PPP... This one is a definite winner...THANK YOU!!!
Number 2 was prime pooping position.
Perfect
If these are lithium batteries, why are they not contained inside/heated for the money.
Otherwise, beautiful workmanship.
Exactly. The batteries being exposed could limit cold weather use of the coach. Also, what is up w/ the glass door that you can quasi see through for the bathroom? Blah!
Lithium batteries maintain optimal performance between 50⁰F to 104⁰F. If you're outside of that range you will start to experience reduced capabilities in charging and performance.
A charge controller can be used to prevent the batteries from attempting to recharge if the ambient temperature makes it unsafe to do so.
This is why Lithium batteries should always be enclosed in a temperature controlled environment for best results and optimal usage.
The Dragonfly system shown in the video uses Battle Born batteries which are now designed to be useable in cold weather. They have a feature to warm them up in cold weather when they need to be charged.
I’m loving how you can now show lots more RV’s. Hi Andrea! So glad you’re back. You two are great together.
Dislikes:
1. At that price point, it should have a climate controlled, four season lithium battery system.
2. It’s a rich look, but too dark.
3. Well, I really don’t have a third because it’s such an awesome Class B.
Likes:
1. I love the screens front and back.
2. Love that it’s all electric.
3. It really has all the features you’d need and want in a Class B: Driving bells and whistles, lots of storage, a closet, love the door to the bathroom and the bathroom itself is great, that kitchen, and the sofa/bed is big enough.
Anyway, it’s a fantastic Class B. Happy travels!
Any thing I would say abouts how great this class B is would be preaching to the choir. Beautiful...just beautiful! Great review y'all and stay safe and awesome.
LIKE THE COLOR OF THE VAN THE WET - BATH THE KITCHEN NO DISLIKE MATT AND ANDREA I LIKE TO SEE THIS VS AIRSTREAM INTERSTATE AND ALSO I LIKE TO SEE 4WD
So glad you went independent. Not a fan of class B’s but this one could change my mind.
I don’t think the color would be or qualify for a dislike. Your review is more how it’s built and how it’s is used.
I love 1) the exterior solid color 2) the bathroom 3)the power coach bed 4) air conditioner runing on solar power
I don't like 1) the dark wooden interior, use white, blue, teal make it look like a beach cottage 2) price is high 3)the screen door needs to be sturdy for pets inside
Luuuv the van color, no propane, great storage..the interior decor is beautiful!! 👍😀
3ps in a class B? Amazing! Very nice class B, but didn’t see any gold at that price! 😂 Fantastic review Matt and Andrea!
The only thing I’ve seen you review so far is class b’s sense you went on you own.
Wow guys this rig is absolutely beautiful!! 💯 great job guys, I agree with everything you said about the likes and dislikes! It was hard to think of even one dislike so I'm gonna say it's just too small of a rig for what my fam would need, if I was solo, hells yeah!! I'm gonna say, since I like everything about it, my absolute favorite thing is the bathroom! They took a lot of time and engineering to make it work! I mean, you can eat almost anywhere, sleep as well, but when it comes to showering and pooping on the road, you need a comfortable, secure spot!!! Well done 👏! Love to you guys 🥰
Even for a wet bath there is plenty of room in there and plenty of room and storage in the kitchen. I also like that the outside water connections are in a compartment. Not a fan of the reclining couch to bed. And the price is out of my range. As someone else said, I would have concerns with the batteries being exposed like they are.
The exposed batteries are a very big concern both for exposure to temps and damage from road debris.
And extremely costly to repair/replace. Horrible placement and it’s not a question of “if” this will be a problem; it’s “when” it becomes a problem.
I love the ground effects on this van. It makes it have that sporty look. I love the outside color. 😍 I love the European style cabinetry. I love the bathroom. I only have one dislike and that is the dark color of of the counter. I would have went with a blue to match the outside color.
Great job with this van. 👏
Basically I like BUT I not a fan of Mercedes, screen being fixed and batteries being exposed. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻❤
It's a beautiful class B. I love that it's all electric, induction cooktop, and storage space. I dislike the super high gloss, dark cabinetry, one burner cooktop, and lack of a decent eating area.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Love this ... thanks for sharing! 💕
Can you please review the Phoenix cruiser...there are many models and floor plans...I think your best chance will be the Hershey show....thanks..
I love the dark interior…
1. I love the name American Coach Patiot!
2. Love that power sofa that can double as a recliner with seat belts.
3. Rear view camera.
4. Love the bathroom with a sink.
Dislikes
1. The screen on the slider.
Too enclosing.
2. Yes too dark inside.
3. The Price. Ouch!
I still love my 2017 Midwest Automotive Designs Weekender MD4!
They are the best!
Just beautiful….. now I just have to win the lottery!
Enjoyed the review! You still have the most thorough information without trying to actually sell the rig at the same time! Fantastic! Agree with it being too dark inside. I would like to have y’all tell us the clearance on the C’s and B’s please!!! Thanks!
It would be cheap to do so I wish the RV manufacturers would put lights in the storage compartments. Once you open those cabinet doors you can’t see a thing in there. For less than $10 per cabinet they could put in led lights that come on when you open the cabinet door. And for those who will complain that the lights will wake up someone when you open them at night they could do red/white lights
I don’t like those batteries being exposed to the elements and under the van
Yea for 200 K you would expect perfection !
Definitely not 4 season! Lithium batteries hate the cold.
And road debris. A lot of investment for little protection
100% agree. Those need to be inside.
I agree about the exposed part, but if they added a 1/8th inch metal box around them I don't see why they couldn't stay where that are. Would need to vent them and add a heating pad for snow.
The MSRP sticker shows the fuel as being gas, when it's diesel.
I wondered if anyone else caught that.
Out of my price range, but that is a beautiful B. Make it a 4 wheel drive and change out that reclining couch for a permanent bed and it would be damn near perfect.
They do make a 4x4 version at this company :). They have a euroloft bed like the winnebago revel. Not alot of youtube videos of the brand with a loft bed though.
@@anthoneyurtz5689 Thank you for that info. You prompted me to go to their web page and you are correct. Options include both the loft bed and 4x4. Thank you for the info. If I could afford it, this would now be my first choice.
@@GaryNichols50 totally understand that. Maybe keep your eye open in a couple years. Maybe the rv price stupidity going on right now will calm down and you can grab one when depreciation really happens.
Beautiful Coach Gang . The exterior color is Boffo . The Bath was a surprise as to the PPP !!! Wow . Love it Keep up the Great work Andrea / Matt . Thank you .
Love the bed and the bathroom, don't like the battery placement and Mercedes chassis.
@209,000!!!!! That is insane. This is a conversion van with a potty. You could buy a great class A and pull a minivan with it for less.
You should go to the American Coach factory for a tour. They are very impressive in their manufacturing!
How Safe is having the Batteries outside of the Van exposed to the Weather, Road Debris and Theft.
Deadly
Yeah that caught me by surprise as well, I understand venting and cooling but road debris and potentially salt are not a good mix.
That looks just like trouble waiting to happen.
If it's freezing temperature, Lithium batteries usually don't work. So, making a lithium battery compartment and adding a preset temperature module. For anything above 40, degrees seems to keep the batteries working. Otherwise, freezing weather is no good for those batteries
Don’t worry about safety…..
The Catalytic converter thieves will just switch to stealing battery packs ….
Best Class B I’ve ever seen!
This is gorgeous!
That bathroom glass door is inappropriate 😆 when you have guests on board.
I just noticed Airstream has a better screen door. It folds like a fan so it opens all the way not blocking the entrance halfway. Blinds also are automatic.
Congrats on 150K.
Thanks Matt and Andrea. This is absolutely beautiful. Very difficult to think of any dislikes. I wonder how often the batteries would need to be changed
I love this personally and I like the dark interior, too. I love that it doesn't use propane, that makes it a double winner for me.
Hey Matt and Andrea, thanks for the review! I do like this one especially the outside color. I wish the interior was lighter and I'm not crazy about the sofa to bed conversion. Put a drop down bed in back and a lower price and I might be interested! Keep on keepin' on!
My cell phone is crazy again. Im guessing the m.s.r.p. price is 250.000.00. But call matt for the best price anywhere. Thank you.
I just want that screen door for my Era 70a 😁
A very outstanding Class B but i don't know how i feel about the batteries being exposed like that to the elements , also flying rocks and pebbles will be able to puncture them at some point .
Fancy smancy! And I love the color too.
Great for the environment, but not so great on the Bank account!
I like the all electric, the screen doors, and the bathroom. I dislike the quilted fabrics, the dark cabinets (as y'all said) and that's it! Wonderful pricey unit perfect for 1 or 2.
BTW, my 2018 Dodge Caravan has those pull the handle/push button doors.
3 things i didnt like outside shower too low bathroom door handle could see myself bumpin into all the time and the dark brown color on cabinets other then that its great
I COULD REALLY LIVE IN THIS DURING WORK. TRAVEL Nurse.
It's not too dark. Just personal preference. I would love to have this van!
I love this van, it’s awesome and it is perfect for 2 people. I would love to own it. It’s my favorite one ever.
Awesome unit! I can definitely go boondocking in this unit, thanks for sharing 😊🙌🙏.
As a homeless man after exposing drug business,I should need it with armored body and outstading lock system without propane.
That is gorgeous. One thing though, some people have the idea with no propane and no generator there is no risk of fire and that is not true. Many RV fires are electrical.
Beautiful class b, however, I won't even consider buying something without knowing the CCC.
Is It away white/egg shell white frosted plexiglass alternatives bring brighter look on cupboards. Front closet at least put another captain seat!
Prefer white/egg shell white other kind of whites cupboards ,bathroom door white/egg shell white other white shade color, please and Thank You In Advanced
I’m so glad I ran across your video/channel. I was set on an Airstream Interstate GL, but this is really nice as well.
I could never buy that coach as much as I love it with those batteries like that and the salty roads here in Canada in the fall and spring and winter whatever what were they thinking oh I guess only for Florida or California
Matt and Andrea,
Again you really need to look at the plans of the unit you are reviewing. If you had you would have seen that there is a table that goes in front of the rear sofa bed in the area between the two side seats.
It’s not always sunny. I guess it’s good if you like to boondock in the desert. 😅 I couldn’t fathom spending that kind of money on something like this. Unless of course I have a hefty 7-8 digit bank account or more. It is nice though. More power to those that can afford it .
Would like to see this vs the Airstream Interstate
Like exterior appearance; interior storage; roomy bathroom; overall quality appearance. I'd love to take a cross country trip in that unit. Dislikes: dark interior; dark countertop; small entry way at side door.
Thats a really expensive point A to point B travel van ---but what a beauty
the only problem I have is the cab looks tight and the batteries are in a REALLY bad location
seriously ! that has to be a design flaw, I hope anyone spending that kind of money is aware of this.
Don't like how the t.v. sticks out. Also the battery's are open to road crud and water not impressed with that. Love the bathroom and counters. Agree to dark inside light makes it look larger a must.
Don’t like price, diesel and camera on dash blocking window view. Like beautiful outside, great inside and love all electric and battery.
Let's see more A's and C's!!
For the size it’s like putting ten pounds of flour in a five pound sack. We agree with you on the likes & dislikes, but will add another dislike , the cabinetry is to high gloss. The the MSRP will cause some people to have heart attack, probably even with net price. Hope y’all show one of those in a Class B+ 👍👍👍👍on what y’all are doing
Color coordinated with Andrea’s outfit. Matt was able to open the fuel door on a class B. No bike rack to knock Matt’s noggin. Don’t like the glass door for the prime pooping area. Don’t like awning on class B. Not sure about the fold up hanging handles. They became a five minute mission to fold down. Thank you for sharing sharing and have a great day. #vanlife
I love this class b, it's beautiful!!!!!
What a nice RV company to let This great honest review team show us this beautiful class B!
Will you ever give your opinion on buying new vs buying a used RV? I am still driving my 2001 40ft Monaco Diplomat with 135,000 miles on it. I would not hesitate to start a trip from here in MI to Alaska tomorrow. Why? Because I have maintained it, and had "everything" under the floor replaced by Cummins in 2018. Then took a long trip in 2019 before Covid.... and just came back from a 23 day trip here in MI. Please make a "new vs used" vlog.
This feels like déjà vu after the Legend FSL, but the Sprinter chassis is a big improvement
Please review the Leisure Travel Van Wonder Front Twin Bed.
Matt, can you please review the Grech Strada Ion Lounge? Its the class B on Mercedes 3500 chassis. Automated everything.
Throw us a curve sometime and be only regular excited.
Nice B-Class. Liking the new change was hoping that you would incorporate different sales people from each dealership you go to. Just in case someone decides to visit it would make it nice to see a familiar face. Just my opinion.
Dark because less windows. That’s a plus for climate control! Can always add lighting. I like the cave-like vibe for camping. Go outside to enjoy the sunshine! ☀️
Beautiful rig, and great craftsmanship. I bet it would look even better and a bit more open with a lighter interior. Off white cabinets, a light gray bleached wood floor, and a white granite countertop would make a huge difference.
I'm impressed with the bed and bathroom area. Very nice Class B
Love the review!!!! As a bigger person it helps me know bathroom size and how easy it is to get around inside with two people. I also disliked that the screen make the door opening smaller. I would give this class B a one as a half thumbs
Hey Matt , you going to the Pennsylvania RV Show next month ? I almost put money down on an Embassy van, 14 month wait ! Wow, not to mention the price, I might fly down to the Tampa show in January. I thought I wanted an Entegra, started looking at vans, I can’t decide !!! Great review as always 😎
And, add for sure, a lagoon pivoting table for the the side sitting couches, in the back. It really needs a bigger table, for the back. Than just one, in the front..Or, ask someone to install a lagoon table, for this Coachman van. Then, store table upright, to walk through
Either side of the van can push the table, to sit down for food. Then push swivel the table, to get more food.
Coachmen Vans, especially Ford 7 speed or any Ford 6 speed van have more places to fix them.
Check around to see who could fix a Mercedes van. If you want a Mercedes van, you can still get it, then.
And, if you can get a van with more of a box look behind the side door entrace, there is more room for half of the back of the van. (More width, than a camper van. However, this 24 foot us remarkable for fresh water
And a Class C is easier to fix. Just lift the engine hood.
Great review!
When Michelin tires aren’t used that tells me quality isn’t there #1 concern. Looks could be
Mercedes has lost their minds on this pricing.
Do you mean american coach
@@toyota420xp anything on a Mercedes’ chassis is over priced. In my opinion the Ram is of lesser quality and Ford isn’t used enough.
But again, that Is my opinion
@@toyota420xp no, across the board. No matter the builder. The Mercedes’ chassis is always the most expensive.
First b that I love just not in my price range. But I do agree it would be better off with a lighter color and less shiny cabinets
Love everything except the non-insulated batteries under the van. That would really compromise winter usage, except in the deep South.
Love That It Is All Electric!!!!
Hi Matt and Andrea! Yes! Nothing but a sleek back to the Van! "Good, Nobody's there!" skip!🤭
😊1. AC/Batt. Oper./Couch-like seat for Andrea( and Matt)!/Entert./Kit./Des./Cab./Storage!
