    I really like this layout however, I would make a few changes.
    1. I would remove the microwave and add the full 3 burner with oven.
    2. I would create a spkit cover for the kitchen sink. Therefore, half the sink could be used as counter space.
    3. Change all the accordian blinds to rollers.
    4. Remove the bathroom basin cabinet and replace with a smaller floating basin.
    Otherwise I really like this Coachman.

    I agree with both of you. The sink is way too big for that size bathroom and I would want a sink in the bathroom to wash my hands.😬

  • @kevinkoepke8311
    @kevinkoepke8311 2 месяца назад +3

    If you owned a food truck, there would be a sink for 1: food prep, a sink for 2: cleaning pots and pans, and a sink 3:for cleaning hands.
    Just saying.

  • @jenniferjensen1149
    @jenniferjensen1149 2 месяца назад +2

    Oh, I love this one.
    So, my husband is an injured veteran, but family is spread across the country. I look and look and look more at ALL the nooks & crannies of each layout to see how the space is used and accessibility. His brain injury requires everything having it's spot. He's a retired graphic artist, and art keeps him sane! My craft is knit/crochet, sewing, or beading jewlery.
    That said, the TABLE seating area is perfect👍. The area in the bunk I could easily install lightweight plastic storage w/cargo net and there's our "craft room" on the go.
    The small bedside shelf is perfect for phones or to set a drink while in bed. I'm not a fan of slideouts, but I can easily rest on the mattress folded it looks like. That's what I need as duty driver. Hubby can still draw, snack, watch his shows, while I can take a nap instead of stopping early for the night to set everything up to rest and have hub feel like he wont disturb me. (So yeah, I LOVE the seperation of sleep & driver/table area.)
    I happen to LOVE the kitchen space. I'm not going to live solely in the rv, it's my piece of home traveling with us so we don't have to load & unload for every trip.
    So basic snacking or to cook up simple foods, great 👍. That counter raised helps to not have things slip off to the steps. The sink ... we use a cutting board at home, I can use one there too if I need more counter space. I'm not making thanksgiving dinner in there, but I could easily enjoy the leftovers in a cozy little datenight 😉.
    I do wish the upper cabinates thru out had larger doors so there's less trim/ wider openings as we have longer items to store for photography as well as ADA items.
    The bathroom ... if the door opened wide & had a secondary latch so it closed off the bedroom & bathroom space from kitchen you'd have more room to poop. AND the sink needs to be adjusted a tad. Smaller or float or be a fold down in the shower or just use the kitchen. I'm great with one sink. Less plumbing, less to scrub.
    I'd prefer a backup camera, but they're easy to buy.
    Ladder to the roof would be great.
    Lastly, swivel seats up front. Allow that great space to be fully useable for those that need better back support than the bench seating provides. At least the passengers side. Naaa....both. The bench slides in. Definitely both.
    So, overall, it's even a great sale price. If I hadn't had to put windows in my house, I'd buy it now and get us out of the minivan for the next 6 months of road trips planned.
    (Want a Veteran's perspective and a traveling billboard, in trade for short term use? He'd help design the artwork for a wrap on the rv. 😉😉 )
    Thanks Matt & Andrea. ❤ I love watching all your reviews and input.

    Matt, would you please, please, consider show how far back the driver's seat goes and reclines when driving? I am 6'6" and I how found some RVs to not be tall guy friendly. I'm looking for a tall guy friendly RV. I've saved a few of your videos that look like they may work, but I didn't know for sure

  • @priscillas1016
    @priscillas1016 2 месяца назад +1

    Matt I agree with Andrea that a sink is required even in a small class “C” RV like this Freelander , However this size of an RV can take a page from the Class “B” RV vans by using the drop down sinks to save space in the bathroom. I mean as a 5’5” 259 lb woman I would not only be uncomfortable in the pooping position, but trying to get in and out of the shower without having to wear a girdle to get in and out the shower so I can easily pass by the sink without bruising my buttocks or stomach to get out of the bathroom is why ,if I had that Freelander class “C” RV, I would hire someone to rip out that current bathroom sink and install a class “B” RV drop down sink in its place.

    Our city allows up to 24 feet in the driveway. Our 2000 Tioga was 23'11. That is why we are looking at vans. A van can be a daily driver if need be, better milage, parking opportunities, etc. Whatever we get has to park in our driveway.....

  • @garymunson2493
    @garymunson2493 2 месяца назад +1

    My concern with Class Bs is they have not been around long enough for a solid track record. Both Ford and Chevy based Cs are glorified box trucks that have proven themselves capable of 300K+ miles plus service. Any vehicle may have some examples of a few units that drive for many miles but you need to have a couple decades pass before you get a clear picture of the real durability of a particular line of vehicles. Drive through the homeless section of any big city and the plethora of Class Cs being lived in proves their worth.

    @robertdragoff6909 2 месяца назад +1

    Great video as always
    But as far as the bathroom goes, you both make valid points……
    Bout I’m with Miss Andrea, there should be a sink in there, only it should be 1/2 the size….
    Or better still, put the sink in the corner and the toilet in between the sink and the shower.
    Or, make the bathroom a full rectangle with a sliding door….

  • @markshelhart8338
    @markshelhart8338 2 месяца назад +1

    No Back up camera is almost worth 3 dislikes on its own, but I'll add even at this price point it should have a convection microwave. J lounge is number one like, if you remove the table and slide it in you have a ton of room for a no LR slide small C, this is going to appeal to a lot of single people who don't need the seating. Love the simplicity, simple means fewer failure points Love the huge bunk capacity, like I said this is going to appeal to single people and that's the primary storage area for them. Actually prefer the 22XG with back door and quasi toy hauler capability on the E450 chassis and no slides, just slightly bigger.

  • @mlralston
    @mlralston 2 месяца назад +1

    No cameras whatsoever make this a non-starter for me. No convection or oven, either? Even with a $74K price tag, I would expect some minimum safety features like a backup camera.

  • @daviddarlingauthor
    @daviddarlingauthor 2 месяца назад +1

    Bathroom doesn't need a sink... there are many things you can do to make that class c your own. Not a fan of the kitchen counter. Keep it all one level, and an extension pop-up on the end is essential. I'd install my own digital screen/back-up camera (along with security cameras) and solar. Is there an optional model without the slide? If you ditch the pantry/closet, rotate the bed, and have overhead storage, you'd save 1300lbs of weight. I'd hate setting up the bed if you want a nap or nightly.

I'm guessing a backup camera could be added, but there's no way to add 10 inches to a 70 inch bed. We've had a Chevy van and it was fine and comfortably transported our family of five on many trips and vacations.

    For medical reasons I wasn't able to drive our big class a so we decided to try a class b then but my wife would be comfortable driving. It was much easier and more comfortable to drive but for even two people to spend more than a weekend in it was just claustrophobic. We kept it a very short time and decided on a class c. We are very happy with the decision.

    I'm team Andrea, cause where are you supposed to brush your teeth and where to you get water to fix your hair? The shower?? the kitchen? Plus it's a hygiene issue. Agreed, need the sink but a compromise might be to make the sink smaller or have a floating sink with no cabinet. This layout is actually really good for the size. Thanks Matt and Andrea for the tour!
