Episode 89 | Filmed AUGUST 2023 | VAN LIFE VLOG | #vancaskeys
We own a Coachmen Beyond RB model. It’s built on Ford Transit. Flawless operation since we purchased in January 2022. Quality is top notch. Coachmen also makes Galleria on Mercedes sprinter. Nova, Beyond and Galleria all have the same quality build. Cannot go wrong with any one of them.
❤❤❤
When we were researching class B;s we kept coming back to Coachmen. Then we compared the Nova (Ram) to the Beyond (Transit). We did not want a diesel Galleria (Mercedes) and based on the ride, cab, power we went with the Beyond but the build quality is equal among all of coachmen’s class B’s. You won’t be disappointed if you trade up from your current van. we love our 2023 Beyond 22D Li3 AWD model.
We have the 2022 Beyond Li3 and after 20,000 glorious miles really love it!
I bought a 2018 Coachman RV in 2019 and I heard all the nightmare stories about problems people have on the road with their RVs. I drove and worked remote for a year and a half in the RV full time... driving from Maryland to California and then to Vegas. Drove back and forth up and down the mountains between Vegas and Palm Springs area about four times. Still not one problem. I only sold her because I got sick and had to take on the medical bills. Now, i'm getting ready to buy a van to travel cross country and work remote again and I will buy a Coachman Van!!!
Way better Quality than Thor products for sure.
Haha. Seems like it!
@@Vancaskeys I think is too expensive
@@aca2855 it is pretty pricey.
Not pricey. You get higher quality you are gonna pay more. Nick does a fabulous job at Coachman B van division.
East Coast prices for remaining 2023 Nova 20RBls are about 20K less than that "sale price".
I purchased my Nova Coachman. I love it. We bought the 20230- 20D, Went to Colorado and looked at 60 vans, we kept coming back to the Nova..............Bought it.......... The Omish build the cabinets. Working on some upgrades now.....
👍👍👍
Love our 2022 Nova 20 RB! Bought it new/used only 1700 miles never camped in $105k in 2022. So far did Route 66, Yellowstone/Tetons and Texas Big Bend and starting this July Alaska for 3-4 months. Next early summer Nova Scotia/New Foundland. The build is amazing and love the Promaster, it just keeps going. True work horse.
We have a 2021 Coachmen Nova 20RB with a generator and 2 interior lithium batteries. We love it. It isn't perfect though. We had several repairs under warranty, but we are all good now. The white cabinets, rear bath, and storage behind the bathroom are awesome. It also has a 27 gal fresh water tank to the Travato's 18 gal. So many things to like. We have 20K miles on ours now.
This sounds like a great combo, the generator, plus lithium plus, a large freshwater tank.
@amiralions2681 We were lucky in a strange way: Our Nova came with sealed AGM batteries under the driver side bed. They were not vented to the exterior. This was an error that resulted in a recall, and Coachmen replaced the AGM with 2 Battleborn lithium batteries. That is how I got lithium and a generator. I have 200 amps. Some easily squeeze in a 3rd or even a 4th for up to 400 amps! I'm going to add the 3rd, which will be enough. Now, I'm not sure what space there is, but AGMs and lithium both get placed under the van with heating, I think.
T 'm looking at the transit vans and it's good to know about the Nova, Is it hard to park it in a regular parking space.? I drive a 18-footer which I love and wonder if I really want to go longer.Where are the house batteries located?
@nancyyeeting2176 That is why we love the Nova on a Promaster. At 20'11", we can park in a regular spot. The Ford is 22'4" and not easy to park in a regular spot. The Ford has 4WD, higher horsepower, and more tech. But the longer nose and less width make cubic footage of usable space almost the same!
YAY!!! We own the Coachmen Beyond RB...same layout but on the Ford Transit chassis. Welcome to the Coachmen family....maybe....I hope! If and when you decide to buy one, reach out to Sunshine State RV in Gainesville, FL. I know that's far away from you guys but they will fly you out or deliver it to you for free. I know it's far to go for service but they will hook you up with a dealership they partner with closer to you. I agree the Coachmen Class B's are far superior in craftsmanship than any others out there and Nick Recchio the Production Manager of the Class B's for Coachmen is awesome from a customer service perspective....he truly cares about his vans and the people that own them.
Oh wow! thank you so much for this great info!
Nick Recchio likes to do factory tours with RUclipsrs too...wink, wink....just sayin'.@@Vancaskeys
I've been wondering when you guys would get around to these. Coachmen are made better than Thor and best of all (unlike Thor) you can visit their factory for warranty work and upgrades. They have an RV hookup area and they are super friendly and helpful. Forget dealers when it comes to repairs. They are only there to sell you vans.
We agree!
We have a 2023c Nova on a 2021 chassis. Has a twin bed in back and a front bath. Not as nice as the one you're looking at. Have used it all this summer. The build quality has been flawless. No delaminated cabinets on this model all Maple stained hardwoods. No issues. As previous RV owners we highly recommend the Coachman Nova.
Love it!
Do it do it do it!!
😂🤣😂
This is the van that I will be getting.
❤👍
We have a Coachmen Beyond. Absolutely love it! And customer service is the best we have ever seen. These guys really care about their customers! You could start coming to Coachmen rallys and meet some of the best people in the! 🚐💨
Great to hear!
We absolutely love our Nova 2023 20C with the Lithium Setup. The build quality and craftsmanship are 2nd to none in our opinion. We took a 5 state road trip recently and had no issues at all. The best part is the Coachmen Class B Customer Service. Nick (the GM) and his staff put the customer first. We had a small issue with our sofa. They either installed the wrong foam, or just didn't add enough foam to the sofa. I sent an email to Coachmen who got the manufacturer of the sofa installed - and boom - we are getting a brand new sofa installed under warranty. Took me about 3 or 4 emails back and forth to confirm which dealer would be doing the warranty work and that was it. We definitely recommend the Nova to anyone looking for a Class B RV.
I'm planning on this one.. I like the D model best.
Right on!
I love these RV tours. I can definitely see you guys traveling around in the Coachman Nova!😊
Thanks!!! It was so nice!
We researched Bs for over a year and we went with the coachmen because of the better craftsmanship almost a year into it and so far knock on wood all has been good. We went with the Beyond on the Ford transit chassis almost went with the nova but hubby is a Ford guy 🤷♀️
That is awesome!
We have had a 2023 Coachmen Nova 20C since Nov. 2022 and really love it. We’ve had no significant problems. Thanks for all the great videos.
Great to hear!
So excited that you took our recommendation and checked out the Coachmen Nova~ We ♥♥♥ ours! Like I said before, I worked in the furniture industry for decades and the build quality is top notch! So tickled you got to try one out! Make sure you check out all three floor plans and both interior combo options - white paint or maple-stained cabinetry. Coachmen Nova for the WIN! NOVAnCaskeys!
♥♥♥Susan and Steve Stark
Thanks for recommending it! I personally love this version but if we can find the other two we will check them out. We were very impressed!
@@Vancaskeysthat same location has been advertising all 3 Nova floorplans (not all li3).... didn't the salesman have them so you could see the space? (I live near them.)
The new nova 20d is our favorite. The RB is too tight for taller drivers due to the kitchen.
We went with the Winnebago Solis PX because we really wanted the pop top and the ability to carry passengers. But I was seriously intrigued by the Coachmens, especially the Beyond. It has almost the same layout as the Nova, but on the Ford Transit platform with AWD. That’s one important feature the Ram is missing. 😢
Have a look at the NEW and VERY DIFFERENT Coachmen Freelander Class C Motorhome. If you look in RUclips for that, you will find a video on it. It is 2 feet long and has a lot of what you want with a lot more. it is $94,999.00 on sale but regular price is $120,000 so less than the Class B of 139,000. Yeah, you have driveway parking issues, but I store mine in an RV storage place for $99 a month. And of course, for some reason they are less to license per year. (not sure why that is but... ) Anyway, have a look. ;)
Oh, and there are Class C RVs that are under 24 feet and very nice so those you should be able to fit in your driveway...
I have always liked the coachman class b.
👏👏
After watching your video, we watched a tour on Matt's RV Review. What a great van.
Great to hear!
We have the 2022 Nova 20RB on a 2021 Chassis. We love it. We have the Li3 package and it gives you lot’s of versatility. Would love to see you in one! Glad you got to see one. Good luck.
I am thinking about buying that same van new. Pls reply with your current view 2022 nova rb li3 package
@@danman1287 Good Morning. First of all the disclaimers. Any RV you get, can and will have issues. If you have had one before you know. That being said, we have loved our Nova. The li3 is great peace of mind that you can go anywhere. It has quality cabinetry (not paper covered luan), most all of the components (Water heater, heat, stove, fridge, etc.) have worked as they should. Did have some issues updating the Firefly, but worked directly with them to get it fixed. We did have the side door screen break, but got it replaced under warranty. Admittedly it is a poor design and will probably break again and we will replace it with a "Bug Wall" or equivalent when out of warranty. A few other issues have been taken care of at a dealership and Coachmen/Forest River has covered all of it. They also reimbursed us for a mobile electrical repair we had while traveling. I am currently getting an awning recall taken care of before spring travels. I hope this helps. Let us know if you have other questions. Good luck.
Do it, do it, do it!
😂😂😂
That's the B van I have had my eye on. I haven't seen it in person. I have watched a few videos of the builds. Coachman uses the same quality in the Nova as they do in their high-end B vans. The cabinets are made by the Amish very good quality.
It was such great quality!
I really like the Coachman Nova
❤❤❤
We love our Coachman Galleria.
Sweet!!!
@@Vancaskeys If fact, we are on our third class B in less than 3 years. We started with an Entegra Ethos…What a piece of crap. An American Coach Patriot….that was a hot box no living creature, not even a cockroach could stand it was so freaking hot! Now, with the Coachman, we have gotten a product with no issues. I don’t know how we lucked up, but it’s a great machine!
I definitely see you guys in a Coachmen. Did you guys look at any Beyonds? That might be up your alley too - for the Transit chassis (all wheel drive) and I heard the seats are more tall-person friendly.
Goodto know!
I agree its nice, same order of my 2023 20L sequence. I love my rear shower. I like the 2 beds, easy bathroom access. the lagune table is great.the toilet looks like a good one, the wingows look good also.
We wish we would have done this layout instead of our current one. Seems like such a great one. You did good!
we love the windows - we can lay in bed, enjoy the crossbreezes even when its raining! The pop out windows and screens are awesome! @@Vancaskeys
It's definitely on my short list. I want to see one in person too. Love the Travato too. I joined both the Travato and Nova FB groups months ago. ❤❤❤❤
So awesome!
Have a 2022 Travato 59K with 20,000 miles after one yr and has held up very well.
Nova appears to have same quality build but i dont think it has the under bed storage since tanks are located there.
We didn't get a chance to look if there was under bed storage. That would make a difference.
We have a coachman nova but a different layout, and we love ours. We have the power b3d in the back, full wet bath with a double French door look. Those sets are like sitting on clouds.
Love it!
Love Coachmen Nova, very nice except SMALL frig. No can do, dang!
👏👏👏
Hello Bob and Hillary 🤗
What a Pretty...
Nova B- Van
Thanks for sharing ..
We love it !!! 👍😊😁❤️
❤❤❤
Love the twin bed , Rear bathroom.
Definitely something to think about !
It’s our favorite layout.
Don't think. Just get it now!
Hehehe
@Vancaskeys the suspense is killing us. Don't make us wait too long. We pray it's good news.
We love this layout. The only issue we have is no outside storage. But the layout is perfect.
We have a SwingAway cargo carrier - makes storage a piece of cake!
We have had our Coachmen Beyond for a year now. The only issue is that the sliding door screen broke. Covered under warranty. You should check out prices at NIRV there in Phoenix. We found the best price there hands down. We live in Washington and while shopping told the local Coachmen dealer what we could get the Beyond for from NIRV he said "If you can get it for that price, buy it. I can't get near that." Ask for Logan.
We want to go there and look :)
You should buy that nova it looks great 😊😊
😀😀
I bought a 2024 Coachmen Nova 20D w/ Pop-Top because I felt exactly the same as you did on the Coachmen's built quality.
I love the Nova and especially the 20D model. Would be my choice.
👏👏👏
Love seeing the american Rv tours, but the prices !!!! That Nova did look a lovely van, looked like the series 8 Fiat Ducato cab that we have over here in the UK, now, will you be selling up and getting one , we know you love it 🙂 Take care and all the best, Trev Debz and Tyler
The prices are crazy! We agree!
I haven't seen you guys so happy like that in a while because of mr. Lemon
Haha! Kinda true!
Winnebago is a big step up from Thor. And Coachmen is a step up in quality IMO vs. Winnebago. Coachmen is quality. They put the same interior materials in the Nova that they put in the Beyond and the mercedes version. The LI3 is good, but very expensive.
Agree!
Heard good things about this RV. I think the benches have seat belts or they can be added. I like that because you could use it when needed as a passenger van. I don't think the Travato has seat belts for passengers.
I'm not sure about the seatbelts.
I have been looking at the Coachman in person. Quaiity seems to be FAR beyond the Thor product. The material on the seats and lounges is higher quality and the cushioning as well. Cabinets are custom quality and the windows are unique. My favorite Class B camper van by far.
Matt's RV Review has an extensive review of the 23 Coachman Nova. I don't think it's the Lithium model but it is $10K cheaper than the model you previewed. The better value I saw on Matt's channel was the 23 Coachman Prizm Elite Class B+ on the Mercedes chassis for $120K. The coach featured a large rear bathroom and combo washer and dryer.
Just bought one today but don’t pick up until March 20th so came to watch you guys be as impressed as we are! Thanks for upping my excitement!
Love this video. I've been eyeing this nova for 2 months. Pulled the trigger yesterday. I'm so happy to actually see the van I bought before seeing and touching it in person. Picking up in Jan. See you on the road. Thanks!!!!
Right on! Congrats!
Love your channel and I'm sorry you got a lemon, but I'm glad you're putting the word out about the Thor issues. I think if you got a used Coachmen Nova even a year or two older than your Thor you'd be much much happier.
That coach is optioned with the 4 way seat from RAM. It'll only slide front to back and tilt forward and back. 3:54 Also, check if they added the swivel option. These RV manufacturers try to grab as many chassis that they can due to the supply chain issues so the options in the cab are often not consistent. Find one that's fully loaded. 😉
Good to know!
We have a Coachman Beyond and love it. We have only had it about 1 year but man are we glad we got it over really all others. Happy shopping and I hope you get what you want...Peace
Love this!
Go for it!!!
😂😂😂👏
Cool van!
Agree!
Almost feel bad for these guys. Looked at a couple of Thors (esp. 18 footers) and was not very impressed. Did my Coachmen research and am now negotiating for one of the rapidly disappearing 2023 inventory. Don't pay more than $115 for a 20 RBL - there are still some out there. They are way better than the comparable Thors, and best most of the Winnebagos too for my money. Good introductory video. Once you comp all the Coachmen Nova details....hold onto yer wallet!
Nova D model. twin beds in the back, and a larger kitchen area...smaller bathroom. Overall Coachmen Nova series pretty well built...one step below the Pleasure Ways...all good.
Thanks for sharing!
One of the best quality made rv, love them
👍
This is definitely a case of paying for quality. Paying a LOT for quality.
True
Thanks for posting that! I near that dealership, so I’m going to stop in and have a look at the Nova.
Sweet! Let us know what you think!
I love the Coachman Beyond and Nova. If you ever tour a Transit Class B (Coachman Beyond) please comment on the driving position, leg room etc.
Good point. We will.
Did you get a chance to look at the Roadtrek Pivot? It was rated top b van in 2023 in Tampa rv super show. It is also built on the promaster.
Not yet. We want to see one!
Coachmen is good!
I don’t even have to watch the whole video, trade your lemon in. Do it NOW!!!
😂
Coachmen Nova and Nick Recchio the G.M. are first class, I would have bought one if I hadn't found my 23/23 Travato RB!
I have a 2024 Nova 20D. Quality build. It has the double beds like you guys like but a large fridge that was a major selling point. If you are looking for the RB (Rear Bath) model they can be had for a pretty good deal. When I was looking one salesman told me they were hard to sell once people saw the D or C model. Drives like a dream compared to my Class A that I got rid of. Another selling point.... Black tank so you don't have to deal with a cassette toilet.
Wonderlocal has so many airstream van problem only thing it cost them $300,000 Don’t feel too bad
Ok you convinced me. I pick up my Nova this weekend.
Congrats!
Great walkthru. Nice layout and colors.SOOO MUCH BETTER than Mr. Lemon's products.❤🙏
Thanks so much!
Your tall. Watch out for that drivers seat it won't adjust as much with the sink cabinet jammed up against it. Ask me how I know, I am six foot seven. We have a 07 Roadtrek 210 Versatile.
Oh I didn’t think of that. Thanks for the heads up!
This is why we went with the Beyond built on the Ford Transit....it's 2 feet longer than the Nova on the Ram. With that being said, we have a long driveway in the rear of our home so parking it is a non issue. If it were, the Ram, Nova would have sufficed.
💯 the RB is too tight for taller people.
The C and D are better but the Promaster chassis isn’t great for taller. Except if a Thor - Thor does something to give an extra inch or two.
Roadtrek and Winnebago on the Promaster are the worst for taller drivers (at least that’s what have found).
My husband is 6'2" and he fits fine, but it does take a bit of adjusting. In fact, you recline as far back and possible and then adjust the bottom of the seat FORWARD a bit toward the steering wheel. Sounds weird, but it works! Also, don't wear thick soled hiking boots while driving and you'd be surprised how much more room that affords you. @@Vancaskeys
We also have a 2021 Coachman Nova and really love the quality. The one thing we don't like are the seats. They sit too high when in the city at stop N go lights, I have to raise the visor so I can see the lights and I am only 5'6". My hubby is taller at 6' and he's a bigger man so I do most of the driving as it very uncomfortable for him. The arm rests are too low your arms hang out in no man's land and after 2-3 hours of driving they get fatigued. We now wish we would have gotten the Beyond to have the Ford seats and we are really ford people. But price was the deciding factor at the time. You have been extremely patient with Mr. Lemon but if you can swing it, you deserve something better, just take your time and make the best choice for you. Enjoy watching you two, have a good one!@@Vancaskeys
I like the light aesthetic!
Same!
Customer service is far superior at coachman too!!
That’s great to know!
We looked at all of the models with the same layout you showed. We went with the Thor Sequence 20L and so far it's been pretty good to us. There was a thing or two where we preferred the Thor to the Coachman but I forget what they were. The quality on the Coachman does seem higher than on the Thor though. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing!
I love it!
👏👏👏
One thing about Coachmen's Service, it's TOP NOTCH. They answer emails, bend over heels to get things right. and they follow the Facebook user group. They will watch your videos on their products and make sure everything about their Class B's are done correctly. They listen and improve upon suggestions. Where do you find a RV MFG listens to their end users?
Good point!
@@Vancaskeyssee this video from the general manager from Coachmen ruclips.net/video/QnVeRJub1Sk/видео.html
I love your channel. We live in Alaska, born & raised. I just retired and Jack, my husband will be soon. We both want to check out traveling around for a bit in an RV. Our 3rd generation born & bred Alaskan kids like in Oregon, & CT so we'd like to visit them (far apart states I know!). Class B van (but a nice one :-) is the way I feel I we should go so I'm enjoying watching you! I think we'll rent for first 10 to 14 day trip. Was thinking east coast but now thinging OR Coast (since 2 kids there) and maybe ID too since Washington is closest to where we live in Southern Southeast Alaska. Looking at "Outdoorsey" & "RV Rental" for rentals. That's hard too when you really don't know exactly what you want. I do like thw rear twin beds in the Mercedes Travito 59K. Thanks for listening. Kelli
Hi Kelli! We used to live in Alaska. Eagle River to be exact. We love your idea of renting first. Those are two of the places we would rent from too. Let us know what you end up renting and how you like it.
Our 2022 Coachmen Beyond on the Ford Transit AWD with Li3 lithium is our 3rd Camper Van. We previously owned a 2016 Airstream Interstate that six months later we traded on a 2016 LTV Unity on a MB Sprinter. Coachmen is superb. I think the Ford is much better than the Dodge chassis (which is really a Fiat Ducato). The rear bath Beyond might be the ideal choice for you. Coachmen really stands behind its warranty.
Sunshine State RV has one ready to go.
Winnebago has dividing doors like that in s few of their vans. 😊
This 2023 Coachmen Nova would actually still be built on a 2022 Ram ProMaster chassis, as it has the newly restyled dashboard & steering wheel, but still having the previous style front end. It's kind of like when for the 2008 model year Ford E-Series started having the current style front end, but still having the previous style interior that would be restyled for the 2009 model year.
Oh interesting. Thanks for this info!
@@Vancaskeys You're welcome!
Hey guys i got a great deal on 2022 nova 20rb li3 new old stock full warranties on coach n chasis. Its not the new chasis but the price i paid was great 85k ex tax out of state delivery. Your chance is coming end of the year
Bayside has a dry bath!
Hello I’ve been enjoying your videos and You have looked at the 2 vans that I’m looking to buy but haven’t figured out which of the 2 to buy. Still doing my research. So if you had to choose between the Travato KL or the Coachmen Nova RB with lithium batteries.
Which would you buy ?
Oh geez...we like both of those! Truthfully we don't know which one we would choose at this point. We would want to try out both 😂
Do it!
😂
Do the Coachmen BEYOND Li3 next. The interior Height is perfect for you guys.
The flared up headlamps at the 19 second mark indicate its still a 2022 chassis.
Good to know!
Nice van…..decisions, decisions! Good luck!
Thanks! 👍
Did it seam like you were sitting up higher in the front seats? And I see that you would have to be careful not to have the window open on the passenger side if you want to open the sliding door.
That is a thing.
Also the fold down sink has a drain and I don't think the Winnie has that. The cabinets are amish built. Don't buy in CA though. You can get it cheaper elsewhere.
Okay I love it! But I think I will look at a Coachmen Class C because I really like a little more room. :)
You guys will love the Nova. I know you like the Travato and I've owned both a 2019 Travato 59k and now a 2022 Nova 20RB Li3. Coachmen is miles above Thor in quality. From the one piece fiberglass shower, Lithionics system, windows, cabinets, insulation, Firefly controls etc. Let me know if you have any questions about the differences. Also, if you're in the LA area, I will be selling my Nova if you'd be interested in saving over the crazy new prices at Mike Thompson (where I bought mine).
Great to know! Thanks! We are not ready to buy yet.
So you say you’ve own a Travato and now a coachman, do you feel the coachmen is a better quality than the Travato. I was looking at the Travato 2023KL or maybe the coachmen 2023 Nova RB to buy. Looking for some insight thanks.
So next you need to look at the Coachmen Beyond. It won’t fit in your driveway, but it’s really nice.
You guys rock........love your videos..........keep it up .... Craig and Theresa Cove Punta Chivato Baja ....and Yuma az.......ps we live in Baja 5 months a year.......come down and go fishing with us....
Thanks Craig and Theresa! That would be fun!
HI guys , thank you for getting back to us ..were new to watching you tube We have 2 Rvs , A Roadtrek 170 popular , and a Holiday Rambler, Aluma Lite....we use the road trek to tow one of our boats to Cabo, and Mag Bay since your in AZ , you might want to try to cross at San Luis and use mex 5...its really fast ..... ....keep up the great work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Vancaskeys
Hmmm careful because they are owned by Forest River!!
Saw your 1 year update on the Thor Class B. Very disappointed with the Thor product but the Coachmen Nova looks great. Be sure to check reviews from current owners. I’m wondering how their durability and price compare to the Travato. Good Luck!
Thanks!
I love the Nova. One concern the cabinet behind the driver seat does that give you enough driving mobility?
That's a good point. We would need to drive it and make sure.
Love the Coachman Nova. Did you look at the 20C or 20D Model.? I love the quality of Coachman but really struggling with which floor plan is better. We need the bigger fridge and going back and forth between the C and D. Anyone own either the 20C or 20D?
I have a 2022 20C Nova. Knew you would like the Nova. I hope you get to see the new 20D, I would like to know your opinion.
If we get to see the new 20D we will let you know!
Love it too ❤

Sleep on it 🤔 great video
Thanks!
Besides the great customer support from Coachmen "B" division, there is the community support with several Facebook groups and the annual rally in Goshen, Indiana. There were over 160 Coachmen owners with 40+ of those being B van owners. It is a great time to share ideas and mods for your van and also exchange travel stories. We always come away with great ideas for storage and mods for the van. Nic the GM at Coachmen has his repair people on site for the week we are there. I had Firefly system issue that my dealer could not figure out. Repair people at the rally took care of the problem very quickly and it was covered under warranty as well. I would hope the lemon laws in your state could be of help.
Oh this is great to know!
