Tour Class B and B+ RVs by familiar, and not so familiar, makers of small motorhomes.
COACH HOUSE - larger than a a typical Class B, but smaller than a typical Class C
LEISURE TRAVEL - beautiful coaches for those with a demanding level of quality in a larger B+ style
PLEASURE-Way - popular Class B vans with a high level of refinement
AIRSTREAM - known for their hight-end quality and use of brushed metals
MIDWEST AUTOMOTIVE - Glossy cabinetry seems to be a trademark of these outfitters
I always enjoy walking through RVs with my now over 15 months of RV experience, 12 months of that living full-time in my Travato GL. By using the RV fully, I have a different perspective on the good and not-so-good features, and I like to share those thoughts with you.
Grab your RV freedom!

Scott, you do awesome rig tours and overviews. I love how you always point out to think about how you would use the van space for your own life. Embassy and Winnebago are still at the top of our list, but Coach House looked intriguing. Thank you for what you're doing!! We appreciate all your efforts to share and educate. ~carol
I like the construction on the coach house 220. Solid build, locking cabinets, under 23 feet, no slide, 14000 lb GVWR chassis. Send that off to Ujoint or Quigley for a badass overlander. And then you walk into the LTV and sigh...I'd much rather spend my time in one of those. Even if it's not built quite as well and can't go as many places.
LTV makes a solid RV. Love their interiors. Thx for commenting
I love the Leisure Travel Vans rigs. That's what I want. I can actually stand up in them!
Thanks for the tour. Good that you keep it positive.
You bet Bill :)
Great video and thank you for your great work, we visited a dealer in Las Vegas and walked through many of these models, all good builds but some very high price points, keep coming back to the travato G and GL...still leaders in class, they just need to upgrade their game to keep up with their competitors....but alas there is a cost issue if they add more things....
Pricey!!!!!! For the size. Although they look like almost the Airstream similar size model!
Great video, Midwest is getting there with compressor fridges, electric cook top, hopefully will follow Coachman Galleria all ELECTRIC! Pleasure way and Liesure way are still in the 1800's with propane fridges, yes i seen the ontour 2.0 FINALLY! Winnebago made the change to compressor fridges to insure they survive the competition!
Just hope Winnebago start using hard surface in the revel for the price!
The Coach House and the Leisure RV's looked the best.
I appreciate the Travato after seeing all of these, the width and openness is a lot better on the GL!
Good to know. Thx for commenting
Coach House does offer a true Class B, the Arriva, with an actual dry bath on the longer Sprinter chassis. I'm surprised they didn't have one on display at the show. Coach House is a family owned company out of Nokomis, FL. The Gerzeny family (also of the RV dealerships? I'm guessing), has run it since founding in 1985.
Thank you for the additional info
Scott thank you so much for all the great tours.
Val!!
Great job. Thanks
You are welcome Tamara
Once again, thanks for the tour. Learning so much and I don’t ha e to visit all the dealers. Cheers!!!
Looking at these prices, it's no wonder that people do their own van conversions! Thanks for the tour...very interesting and informative!
Glad we could help Valerie
Wow, loving those Coach House RVs. Thanks for the great tours.
"Not tuberculosis" Lmao 😂
Good job adding in some of the smaller mfgs. Haven't seen much of the Midwests, they look like a nice level of finish for the price and being 6'5" love the height in the Transit models for it and Pleasure Way.
Interesting to see brands I'm not used to!
there are many out there!
Beds should be called peninsula. LOL. Islands you could go all the way around.
Love it !
Those prices are way up there!
But it is cream and brown. When will the manufacturers think white teal blue green anything, but not brown. raise bed, Storage below it. Pricey.
Coach House uses both the Ford E-450 chassis and what appears to be the Sprinter cut-away chassis.
Keep up with your great contents !
Thanks, for the tours. I currently have a small Airstream trailer, but I think I would like a small motorhome. Did you look at the Leisure Travel Wonder? I don't want a Sprinter, too hard to get it serviced where I live. I am looking at PW Ontour, LV Wonder. Wonder is a B+. If you saw a Wonder FTB, what did you think of it? Thanks for the tour, I enjoy your channel, been a subscriber for awhile.
Dian Swanson we rented a wonder ftb. It was great experience.
Thanks Diane for your thoughtful comments
Nice presentation. I’m surprised we don’t see more Ford Transit chassis’s being used in the industry.
just wondering where you saw the coach house and the pleasure Way together because those are the two I am interested in and I would like to see them in one location. Thank you so much for your vids!
Appreciate you watching
Love your videos! I love your channel because you’re so informative. I really like the European Campervan because of their general setup. I can’t imagine driving around with a toilet behind me! The prices of American vans is ridiculously crazy, might as well get a ho e and a regular van and have it converted. Why don’t the vans hide all that stuff and make it clean! Also the TVs are behind the head, goofy! Why have a wide sliding door instead of a regular door and screen door, it limits the room. Also AMERICA wants 20 feet!!!!! Look at the Leisure Vans in 2012-14. The setup makes sense. Why do they put the frig on the floor! Goofy. There are drawer frig. Now the are putting the frig on the floor at the entrance, even stupier. They need to make designs Tharp make sense. The Travato makes sense, but too much stuff showing outside the van.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment
I am still leaning towards the travato gl npf edition. The new Panoramic RV out of canada is also peaking my interest although i have yet to see one.
They (Coa h House) did not have the class B unit there - called "Arriva" on a MB Sprinter with a dry bath. Tight for people my size.
Scott: Thank You for the quick walk around reviews. I am unable to find a Midwest model Passage(last van on this video) or other model on the Ford Chasis. You even mentioned the Transit windows...could this be an alternate buildout on the Passage given the tight availability on the Sprinters?
Hey Tim. I’d have to give their website a look
You're too funny today! Coffee???
We didn't go see the Coach House or Leisure Travel as they are much larger/wider than what we want to drive around, but sure glad you looked at them!
The Pleasure Way was our first choice for a long time, but after seeing your channel and what the Pure3 system could do, the love affair kinda faded. That said, their build quality is one of the highest we've ever seen.
Really liked the fit and finish of the Midwest RV, but not so sure about that protruding doorknob on the bathroom door... I can see myself full of bruises as I walk past it every day!
Be seeing you!
Great catch on the bathroom door knob. I missed that
Enjoyed the vid, once I paused it to go vomit from the vertigo your camera spinning gave me.
Sorry about that
How many do they sleep?
which RV are you referring to
@@gosmall.livelarge Exactly, see what I mean. All of them I need a three sleeper. 😀
200k???? This is not an Airstream
Thx James
Am RV is an depreciating asset don’t buy new- those prices are outrageous
European RVs> Canadian RVs> American RVs
