What?!?! A Class B?!?! I never thought I'd see it!!! Likes: 1) Huge awning 2) I love the roof with the rack, and it looks like room for another solar panel up front (if needed) 3) All electric. I love it. One less tank to worry about. 4) Huge lithium battery bank plus the huge inverter. 5) Front passenger swivel with table. That's where I could eat and use the laptop all the time, and not worry about keeping the bed made in the back. 6) The 81" long bed! I can't get a bed that long in a 40 foot diesel pusher, but I can in a van? 👍 7) Good sized rear bath with access from the outside (easy exterior shower) Dislikes: 1) Way too expensive. I get part of the reason why, but even the sale price is way too high. 2) Would prefer AWD 3) Take out the smaller bed and put in a larger fridge and more storage / counter space, and I (as a solo traveler) could camp in this for weeks. However, that small fridge is a no go for me. I'd run out of meat and veggies in 3 days.
@@MattsRVReviews A pleasure. But you caught me in the act. I've probably changed it 5 times since you posted. I always work on my list while I watch, and pause, and watch, and go back and rewatch, and so on. 😎😁
@@palmalongo7683 Going to depend on the beach and current conditions. Look at any other vehicles on the beach to give you an idea. Would not want to be the first one out on the beach and get stuck.
Best line you have ever spoken in a video that I have watched.. “........That is expensive!!” You both are so genuine and affable it is difficult not to keep watching these. Amazing you can make each video entertaining and unique after so many.
I binge watch this channel even though I’m only in the market for a Class B! They are just so funny and they work so well together. They’re naturally funnier than a lot of comics.
Showing these Class B's will bring many more people to your channel in my opinion ☺️Of course y'all know that already and I'm so glad you're showing these now. Amazing one to start with also
Three things I don’t like 1. The bed 2. The bathroom 3. Size of the storage Three things I do like 1. The brand 2. The screen door 3. The seats I love y’all and congratulations on your channel
Back in the 70's I was standing at an office vending machine waiting for my Snickers bar to drop, and the guy behind me said, "Ya know ... That's the best damn nickel candy bar that you can buy for a quarter. That's the way I feel about the Boldt.
This is really super nice! 3 Things I like: 1.) Solar - awesome! 2.) Nice bathroom! 3.) Awesome driving assist! 3 Dislikes: 1.) Kitchen faucet doesn't have a hose. 2.) Extremity small fridge 3.) The kitchen needs to be on the other side of the couch/bed so the beds line up. Fridge is way too small! I can see a tall fridge where the closet is. Across the entry way, put the closet/storage, it's behind the driver seat, now that space will have a 'better' attached table to come down for the person sitting in the driver to use, and still have good view of the TV. It's convenient for clothes and shoe storage. When traveling like this, do you really want to hang clothes? We need proper food cold storage, where ever we go. This tiny itty bitty fridge is not okay. Way too small, not useful.
Suggestions: 1. Needs a deeper sink 2. Bed needs to be parallel OR a Murphy Bed 3. Larger frig i.e. Dometic 4. More counter space 5. Outside Mirrors with ability to have movable positions from inside rig 6. Lagun table arm on a larger table
Thanks for doing a Class B! Likes: twin bed floor plan, light colors, plenty of counterspace. Dislikes: not much! Other than the price, I'm sold - love this unit.
Hey Mercedes, here’s a review Class A manufacturers needs to pay attention to this model. Solar package! Love. 1 swivel cabin seats. 2 euro cabinets with locks. 3 ConvectionMW Dislikes 1 kitchen faucet needs to be tall with sprayer. 2 a bed to sleep two 3 two burners For quick weekend camping this is your model.
If I HAD to have a class B for off grid, this would be it. Love that little bathroom (awesome for class B), nice kitchen (except for small fridge with door opening the wrong way!), good storage. But one dedicated bed is enough. I'd use the long couch space for other purposes. Yes, I'd like to see Class B reviews! Thanks for the great video!
Thank you Matt for reviewing a Class B. I love the idea of a “B” but as you point out in the video, there are trade offs. Two additional pluses of a “B” is maneuverability, some neighborhoods do not allow you to park an RV, but as you pointed out....they can be “stealth” RVs. They can also function as a “travel” van. Some people like to travel from point A to B, with maybe a stop in between, then stay in a hotel or with family when they arrive. Also, some National Parks have length restrictions to enter. Good Job! Love your videos and Andrea is an excellent partner.
I have to say I'm impressed! I, like Matt, need more space, a real bed, bathroom, etc... Love the cabinetry, bathroom (for a wet bath), Mercedes quality. Not for me, but really nice! Great job, as always Matt and Andrea!
I love class B's! My fav! I don't like the little fridge, the Sprinter Diesel, the bathroom in the back, because you open the back door and people are looking at your bathroom, also the uneven bed. I love the solar, the insulation, 4 season, the swivel seats and table, oh the quiet ac!
Yes to more Class B’s. I love that I could park it in my driveway despite a strict HOA. Love the regenerating electric system in this and the Travato Ls.
Thanks, do more class B reviews! Finally I'm seeing the styling and features I've seen with European models. My preference is the smallest vehicle that meets primary needs. The ability to park any where is a major plus. I want to visit as many national parks and sites around the country as we can. Anything that makes that easier is what I want. Also, we have dogs and the ability to run A/C with no motor going while we are out seeing the sights (again, our ONLY purpose for having RV) is a major plus. Fuel prices and ecological concerns make smaller vehicles our way to go.
Three things I like about the Boldt are: Prime pooping position, prime pooping position, and prime pooping position.:) The best thing I like about your video (besides the always helpful Andrea) is that you actually drive it. Nobody does that and it is absolutely as important and any any other feature of a class b. Congrats.
I am commenting because I see you have 997 and you only need 3 more to keep doing more Class B reviews! I’m with you Matt - Class Bs aren’t for me but I know a lot of people really like them and you guys such an awesome job with all of your reviews so I definitely think you should continue!
I do not like wet baths. I think a sofa recliner with cupholders as well a simple single bed and a dedicated shower would be better. The major like is the ability to use in the city but I have even seen shorter custom mercs (the 144 series )with more practical appointments.
It’s really a beautiful class b And the features are outrageous but the price is crazy however the price you guys are offering it for is outrageous what a great thing
Thanks for doing a Class B, Matt! 3 things not crazy about: 1) the offset bunks & narrow walkway, 2) the single induction burner, 3) not being able to afford it! 😢. 3 things I love: 1) it’s fully off-grid & solar powered!, 2) amazing styling & Mercedes bells & whistles, 3) very workable for a Class B.
I love class B’s!!! I’m an avid RV lover!! I watch Going RV, RV Nation, Extreme RV, RV Countdown, etc.. every Wednesday and whenever I get a chance I window shop for RV’s. My dream RV is the 2Fl Anderson built fully pimped out extreme RV!! I’d love to know what you think of the Leisure Travel RV’s. Enjoyed your review!
Wonderful van.I am so pleased that you have decided to review these units.In the new dispensation they would work as mobile offices as well as homes. They would allow someone such as a health care worker to do a clean up and sanitization in their vehicle before heading into the house. I know the Mercedes is expensive ,I have followed Leisure Travel Vans for some time, but in your hands I know we will get an analysis that will lead to improvements from all players in the sector. Congrats on the fitness program.Blessings
Wow, covering a Class B & with some panache!! I've seen a lot of Class B's and I'd have to say this is one of the better planned ones! Price is very similar but with a '4-season' in mind. I love that the storage shelving is adjustable and that you really can use the wet-bath. First impression is great! Way to go Winnebago!
Matt and Andrea have done a great job changing our minds about class B. Never saw the value until their reviews this week. Class B is different, but when I really thought about I realized I would probably use it far more often than an A. This model has a high price but the features, function and quality make that price reasonable. Perfect for that long trip in total comfort and class.
This Winnebago class B is pretty phenomenal, as I never thought of a class B ever having such a nice sized shower. The honest to goodness look on your face when you realized it was a 4P rating was great to see! Thank you for all of your honesty, Matt & Andrea!!! You both make everything you review so easy to understand. It’s no wonder manufacturers are paying attention to your channel.
I loved class B’s!!! I’m an avid RV lover!! I watch Going RV every Wednesday and whenever I get a chance I window shop for RV. I’m dream RV is the 2Fl Anderson. Built fully pimped out extreme RV!! Enjoyed your review!
Just found your site and this Class B being all electric is what pulled me in to watch. Things I liked 1-All electric 2-The color combo 3-Wet Bath Things I don’t like 1-No Garage space in back 2-The bed is ducky. Doesn’t work for two people to sleep or if need to get up during the night to go to bathroom. 3-Need a table between beds for dining or work area.
We've been patiently waiting for a B review. Just as surprised to see this video as you were when you realized the prime pooping position. Love the Boldt and especially your pricing. Still undecided though between a B or a B+. Hope to see more reviews for these types of campers.
Thank you for reviewing Class B’s, we are also interested in the PleasureWay Ontour 2.2 and Coachmen Beyond because they are on a Ford. I would love to hear your opinion on those.
Love, love, love. More, more, more! There is a Travato out there with the same Volta system and a little different inside configuration. Has a booth in the kitchen. Thank you!
Matt and Andrea, Love you guys and was thrilled you're starting to do Class B Reviews. 4 things I liked; 1. Twin beds that are couches during the day and create a second seating area. 2. Super boondockable and stealth. 3) Windows and doors that really connect you to the outside. 4) Towing capacity Things I don't like; 1) Price - but actually not out of line with comparative coaches I guess 2) ? 3)? This B is top of my list with a little more research to go. Thanks
Matt and Andrea, I love the video. Both of you hit a home run with this class B. I'm thinking about buying class B. I definitely keep this model in mind while I'm shopping for a class B. I can't wait to see both of you in your next video.
Looking good Matt!!! Pretty soon, you'll have to change your reviews! "Who else will take their skinny ass up on the roof to show you the features? NOBODY!" Keep up the great work!
Matt & Andrea, "absolutely love" the channel. Winnebago ... as somebody seriously considering this RV, I wanted to give you some feedback. First, the BOLDT is awesome, it looks great, the Mercedes chassis is the best available with outstanding safety features and good mileage, we are particularly drawn to the VOLTA power system, it is a very modern approach and we love it, but we could not pull the trigger on the BOLDT, here is why. Bathroom + Refrigerator. We want to travel with our son, so we want the awesome forward facing third seat with shoulder belt, so the 70BL floorplan is for us, but the fridge is so very tiny, not enough for 3 people to travel. Second is the bathroom, its so tiny on this layout and really unusable. I know, I know, its a class B, but the Travato, your own class B with a VOLTA system, has a nice bathroom and a good size fridge. how can those be bigger on a smaller chassis ? If you can change the BOLDT to be a bit more like the Travato 59GL, you would have a real winner on your hands. Last request, somehow find a place, someplace, somewhere on the outside of the BOLDT to hide and store the "stinky slinky" as Matt calls it. Nobody wants to bring that into their $200K home on wheels, especially one as nice as the BOLDT. Overall great job on this product, but we can't buy it until the layout issues outlined above are fixed.
I love class b’s and would like to see more. I like the mechanical & electrical features, cockpit, magnetic door screen, and size of the bathroom. That being said the interior design of the unit leaves a lot to be desired if they are promoting it for full time use. The weird “double” bed is useless for sleeping 2. The fridge needs to be bigger and needs to have 2 induction cook tops, I would promote the van for solo travelers and get rid of the small couch to put in more cabinets, make the kitchen counter top & longer by removing the drivers table (this way you would have more space for another induction cooker). Last but not least I would offer a boon-docking option of a cassette toilet thus freeing up valuable space for more freshwater carrying capacity.
I enjoyed this video. I need to see the B+ version of this van though. This could work but the small fridge,one burner, & one cook top wouldn’t fit my plans & intended usage. Thanks for this review.
Finally a class B, That Boldt is the only Class B I would trade my Winnebago Travato K class B for, I tow my 4 seat Polaris RZR with my TK and it struggles with the Pentastar gas engine on the long grades in AZ. That diesel would not break a sweat going up those grades. I want one!!
Matt, please review more B Classes. I truly believe YOU have an opportunity to help shape the future of the B class. Your reviews are fun, intelligent, honest, and technically accurate. Continue to stay humble and enjoy your success!
Class B's are not really my taste either, but I really liked seeing this review. Please do more and I did enjoy seeing you test drive this model too. Just want to say you both rock and Matt you have a wonderful partner in Andrea.
You should do more class B RVs. I really like the way you do reviews and I'm really interested in class B's, not everyone wants to have a bus as an RV.. lol!
Like the bolt and love more Class B reviews... VanLife is a huge growing population. 3 things I love: 1. Mercedes Platform and safety features. 2. Swivel passenger and driver seats. 3. Lithium and solar. Things I don’t like. 1. Lack of storage. Need storage for 2 chairs, 1 folding table and a small bbq. 2. Need a larger sep fridge/freezer. 3. Need legun table setups
I’ve never seen a modern Class B and was totally in awe of the number of cabinets! Dislikes: 1. MSRP wow! Sale price is much better for the size, 2. Agree with you on the Mercedes voice sensitivity and 3. It’s still small. Likes: 1. Solar generated power, great idea, 2. Great bathroom! 3. Awning and screen door! You could easily fit this in a garage without having to pay for storage. I could consider such a unit! Thx
Last comment from me , I promise lol. After watching to the end I have to say that as nice as it is I am with y'all on the couches/bed. I have seen it done so much better in lots of other class B vans and it's actually disappointing. Even if I had the money to buy one of these ( which I don't lol) I couldn't choose this one because of the couches even though everything else is perfect to me, especially the off grid abilities.
I saw a video on a Winghamm which I think is an Italian vehicle. It had a Longitudinal pull down bed with skylight. I fell in love with it! I feel like nothing else will do now since I can't "unsee" it...lol. Do we have anything like that in USA?
You are both so fun. It's like watching a tiny homes tour. I'm not buying anything but I come here often for my morning coffee and it is so relaxing. Thanks for the videos.
George Burns and Gracie Allen!! Seriously, the Class B is the best for running around and having fun. You wrestle those 30"+ Class A's ( and some Class C's) around town and areas you really want to be in, and your begin to see the advantage of the Class B. You really can hide it practically anywhere and still have all the comforts of home.
@@jlarm3 , indeed. I saw another couple who normally travel in a C and they rented a B for a Florida trip. Over and over and over he was delighted at being able to take a normal parking spot and with the ease of getting in and out of campsites. It was pretty funny.
This van also fits through drive-thru lanes, parks in a regular parking space and you will never have a problem fitting at the gas pump. It's great for those who travel/work remotely. No need for high hotel prices. It's intended for the simple life on the road.
Thank you for finally touring a Class B! More, please! What I like: 1. It's a Mercedes class B (all the bells and whistles of a MB) 2. The wet bath 3. Built-in solar panels (although not enough) 4. The cabinetry styling 5. Location of kitchen by sliding door 6. Built-in lit awning What could be better: 1. WHITE upholstery (not practical) 2. Two long benches that fold into bed... wasted space, Murphy bed more efficient 3. Not enough storage
My 3’s (and first comment ever on your vids even though I’ve been binging on them). Likes: 1. All the windows! 2. Swivel captain chairs. 3. Stealthy and I can help my husband drive it. Bonus likes: Cabinetry & lighting & cool magnetic screen door & decent sized wet bath. Dislikes: 1. Fridge is too small 2. Awkward bed layout so I can’t sleep by my husband. 3. No other lounge spot for our two dogs when we’re sleeping. More reviews, please, both B’s and could you also review bumper pulls?!?!?! We’re in the market for a trailer. Absolutely love you both!
Thanks for the Class B review guys! Three things I liked: 1. The finish inside is very nice, especially the cabinets 2. The kitchen is really set up well for the size of the camper, really like the induction cooktop & microwave/convection combination. 3. The electrical setup with the lithium batteries & solar panels. Expensive, but could likely boondock for extended periods. Three things I don't like: 1. The layout: put the bunks even and closer to the back door, maybe a rear lounge or dinette converting to a double bed, or maybe a Murphy bed, plus some garage space if possible underneath. Use a smaller bath module closer to the door across from the galley. I've seen some that put the galley by the sliding door with outside access for cooking out, then the bath across from that. I don't see how the sleeping position works for either camper 2. It's really long, so parking is going to be a hassle in town. 3. It's expensive. For the money, you could get a really nice class C or, for less money, a B+ with more space. I know it can carry two, but it could only be for short trips. One person could probably get by in that small space, but for two, I think it's too tight. I don't see this as a viable solution for full time camping.
Actually surprised by how nice it is for being so small. Interior cabinets look great. Really shocked by bath shower and toilet. I would like to know the cargo weight capacity since it is designed for outdoor living and need to know what all could be taken along. I encourage you to do more Class B reviews, but some lower price point units. The B+ Sprinter chassis units have a big advantage unless you are trying to be total stealth for city stays. Nice unit, just a little pricey.
Love the total electric. The bath is great and all the bells and whistles for driving is great. Do not like the the sleeping arrangements or the lack of room between the beds. However if I were to retire shortly this would be great running around the country seeing my kids and grandkids. You and Andrea are great!!
Hello everyone! Our likes: * For such a small unit it is laid out pretty well. We also wish the beds were aligned better, though. * We love the fact that it is solar-friendly. With a unit that small, solar is almost a requirement. * We like having the doors at the back as well as the side and front. If an emergency exit was required there is little to no reason why an exit couldn't be done quickly and safely. * The towing capability would make it pretty easy to pull a small storage trailer of some sort (to carry a grill, bicycles/golf cart, etc.) or a flatbed trailer for a motorcycle. Our dislikes: * Although we understand class B motor homes are expensive as a rule, we wish there was some way the prices could be reduced. It's hard for "regular" people to consider spending that much on such a small unit when we could get something with much more room for considerably less. * It would be interesting if there was a snap-on tent type structure for the back in case someone really wanted to take an outside shower. It could possibly snap onto the back of the unit for access to the water and for privacy. * You've probably seen this is a regular request of ours, but it's even more important in such a small unit. Since there is very little room for storage, having a cutting board cover for the sink would be essential for us. * We didn't see any blinds to close off the cockpit area from outside. If there aren't any, there should be...never know when a peeping Tom might show up. P.S. We LOVE the way the vehicle didn't respond to either of you at the end of the video. Too funny!
Thanks for doing a Class B review. As a single person, this could have been a great solution. But, in my amateur opinion too much sacrifice for too much money. Not for the retired person.
Electric, Winnebago, screen door magnets. Yes, I want to see more class B reviews. I think you have only done 2. Yes, plenty of models in Canada, surely the USA has more that 2 types.
I like the Volta system a lot, I also like the bed and I think that style bed has a way to put the head up a bit. I also like the bathroom area. I didn't see a lot to dislike
Thanks for doing the class B and yes I do like the fact that you’ve done it and I would like to see more I really enjoyed all of your Reviews and hopefully Winnebago will take note of this and continue to bless us with you Reviews. Also thanks Andrea for all your help! bye
Great review Matt & Andrea! Thanks for doing the class b review. The main thing preventing me from going with a Boldt is the sofa / bed configuration. Sofa’s need better back support and the two parts of the bed need to line up! Please do more Class b reviews!
What?!?! A Class B?!?! I never thought I'd see it!!!
Likes:
1) Huge awning
2) I love the roof with the rack, and it looks like room for another solar panel up front (if needed)
3) All electric. I love it. One less tank to worry about.
4) Huge lithium battery bank plus the huge inverter.
5) Front passenger swivel with table. That's where I could eat and use the laptop all the time, and not worry about keeping the bed made in the back.
6) The 81" long bed! I can't get a bed that long in a 40 foot diesel pusher, but I can in a van? 👍
7) Good sized rear bath with access from the outside (easy exterior shower)
Dislikes:
1) Way too expensive. I get part of the reason why, but even the sale price is way too high.
2) Would prefer AWD
3) Take out the smaller bed and put in a larger fridge and more storage / counter space, and I (as a solo traveler) could camp in this for weeks. However, that small fridge is a no go for me. I'd run out of meat and veggies in 3 days.

@@MattsRVReviews A pleasure. But you caught me in the act. I've probably changed it 5 times since you posted. I always work on my list while I watch, and pause, and watch, and go back and rewatch, and so on. 😎😁
And another 3 times since I posted that.
Except it actually does have LP. i possibly would have done Murphy style on the bed and I cant stand low microwaves. Otherwise top notch
@@slamdancer1720 I love a murphy bed. Not having to make and put away a bed every day would be so nice.
Would like to see more class B RV reviews with lower prices. This one is nice, but too much money.
Love your reviews!
Do you think a 4x4 Boldt (dually) can handle beach camping?
Unable to find any info online.
Thanks!

:D
Mark. That a good joke. My Mother says they should still be a nickel and adds that they used to be larger too.
Priceless
This is really super nice!

2.) Nice bathroom!
3.) Awesome driving assist!
3 Dislikes:
1.) Kitchen faucet doesn't have a hose.
2.) Extremity small fridge
3.) The kitchen needs to be on the other side of the couch/bed so the beds line up.
Fridge is way too small! I can see a tall fridge where the closet is.

We need proper food cold storage, where ever we go. This tiny itty bitty fridge is not okay. Way too small, not useful.
This is the funnest Class B review I’ve ever seen and I want to see more from the two of you!
Yep!! I want to see more class B videos! Thanks!
And then see if you can do a few smaller ones of the class B and more reasonably priced ones
Suggestions:
1. Needs a deeper sink
2. Bed needs to be parallel
OR a Murphy Bed
3. Larger frig i.e. Dometic
4. More counter space
5. Outside Mirrors with ability to have movable positions from inside rig
6. Lagun table arm on a larger table

I really appreciate the fact that you all give the price
Hey Mercedes, here’s a review Class A manufacturers needs to pay attention to this model. Solar package!
Love. 1 swivel cabin seats. 2 euro cabinets with locks. 3 ConvectionMW
Dislikes 1 kitchen faucet needs to be tall with sprayer. 2 a bed to sleep two 3 two burners
For quick weekend camping this is your model.
Thanks for sharing your feedback 👍
Agree with everything you said!
Another great video. Keep it up bro! Love the interaction between you and Andrea. Makes it fun!
You’re making me very happy doing a class B keep them coming thanks Andrea and Matt
🤗😊👍
Thanks for the Class B video we are thinking about downsizing to one in a couple years. Keep them coming.

I really like the split couches/beds

Thanks for sharing your feedback Bob👍
Agreed! Its not for me either I like class Cs but still very cool
I love class B's! My fav! I don't like the little fridge, the Sprinter Diesel, the bathroom in the back, because you open the back door and people are looking at your bathroom, also the uneven bed. I love the solar, the insulation, 4 season, the swivel seats and table, oh the quiet ac!
I'm glad your opening up your reviews to other models.
👍
Yeah like ford transit
Hi Matt and Andrea!! Love your reviews very awesome and funny! I noticed there is crack on the windshield.
Yes to more Class B’s. I love that I could park it in my driveway despite
a strict HOA. Love the regenerating electric system in this and the Travato Ls.
Love to see the class b vans! Thanks for the tour 😊

I do not like wet baths. I think a sofa recliner with cupholders as well a simple single bed and a dedicated shower would be better.
The major like is the ability to use in the city but I have even seen shorter custom mercs (the 144 series )with more practical appointments.
Thanks so much!
Love the Boldt, love you guys, will please do a review of the Unity fx, keep up the awesome reviews, love you both👍
It’s really a beautiful class b
And the features are outrageous but the price is crazy however the price you guys are offering it for is outrageous what a great thing
Thanks for doing a Class B, Matt! 3 things not crazy about: 1) the offset bunks & narrow walkway, 2) the single induction burner, 3) not being able to afford it! 😢. 3 things I love: 1) it’s fully off-grid & solar powered!, 2) amazing styling & Mercedes bells & whistles, 3) very workable for a Class B.
I love class B’s!!! I’m an avid RV lover!! I watch Going RV, RV Nation, Extreme RV, RV Countdown, etc.. every Wednesday and whenever I get a chance I window shop for RV’s. My dream RV is the 2Fl Anderson built fully pimped out extreme RV!! I’d love to know what you think of the Leisure Travel RV’s. Enjoyed your review!
Matt, I enjoyed your Bolt review. Keep it up an show more Class B RVs! Thanks!
Wonderful van.I am so pleased that you have decided to review these units.In the new dispensation they would work as mobile offices as well as homes.
They would allow someone such as a health care worker to do a clean up and sanitization in their vehicle before heading into the house.
I know the Mercedes is expensive ,I have followed Leisure Travel Vans for some time, but in your hands I know we will get an analysis that will lead to improvements from all players in the sector.
Congrats on the fitness program.Blessings
Thanks so much👍
Yes please. More class b reviews. Especially those that sleep 4 or more.
Wow, covering a Class B & with some panache!! I've seen a lot of Class B's and I'd have to say this is one of the better planned ones! Price is very similar but with a '4-season' in mind. I love that the storage shelving is adjustable and that you really can use the wet-bath. First impression is great! Way to go Winnebago!
Matt and Andrea have done a great job changing our minds about class B. Never saw the value until their reviews this week. Class B is different, but when I really thought about I realized I would probably use it far more often than an A. This model has a high price but the features, function and quality make that price reasonable. Perfect for that long trip in total comfort and class.
More Class B and B+ reviews, please!
Hey, can you do some Class B+ reviews!!? Looking for a B with a full dry bath.
The best time of the day, because it's the Matt and Andrea show!
Lol thanks for watching Mitchell☺️👍
@@MattsRVReviews You bet I do, Matt and Andrea!
This Winnebago class B is pretty phenomenal, as I never thought of a class B ever having such a nice sized shower. The honest to goodness look on your face when you realized it was a 4P rating was great to see! Thank you for all of your honesty, Matt & Andrea!!! You both make everything you review so easy to understand. It’s no wonder manufacturers are paying attention to your channel.
Lots and lots and lots of us love class b
I want one so badly. I'm an avid cyclist and it would suit me best.
My wipers always wipe for me.. lol
I loved class B’s!!! I’m an avid RV lover!! I watch Going RV every Wednesday and whenever I get a chance I window shop for RV. I’m dream RV is the 2Fl Anderson. Built fully pimped out extreme RV!! Enjoyed your review!
Just found your site and this Class B being all electric is what pulled me in to watch.
Things I liked
1-All electric
2-The color combo
3-Wet Bath
Things I don’t like
1-No Garage space in back
2-The bed is ducky. Doesn’t work for two people to sleep or if need to get up during the night to go to bathroom.
3-Need a table between beds for dining or work area.
We've been patiently waiting for a B review. Just as surprised to see this video as you were when you realized the prime pooping position. Love the Boldt and especially your pricing. Still undecided though between a B or a B+. Hope to see more reviews for these types of campers.
👍
Great review you Two!! Super launch of your new series on Class Bs!
Thank you for reviewing Class B’s, we are also interested in the PleasureWay Ontour 2.2 and Coachmen Beyond because they are on a Ford. I would love to hear your opinion on those.
Love everything about. Especially the fact you can go off the grid.
Love, love, love. More, more, more! There is a Travato out there with the same Volta system and a little different inside configuration. Has a booth in the kitchen. Thank you!
👍👍
Matt and Andrea, Love you guys and was thrilled you're starting to do Class B Reviews.
4 things I liked; 1. Twin beds that are couches during the day and create a second seating area. 2. Super boondockable and stealth. 3) Windows and doors that really connect you to the outside. 4) Towing capacity
Things I don't like; 1) Price - but actually not out of line with comparative coaches I guess 2) ? 3)?
This B is top of my list with a little more research to go.
Thanks
Yes! Please more Class B reviews.
👍👍
WOW really like this and made me think about this class b. Love the solar panels, bathroom and door, I guess my dislike is the bed not even across
I’m shocked!!! An 81” bed, are you kiddin’ me? Incredible! Finally, a bed I can fit.
Thanks for commenting and watching Dave 👍
Matt's RV Reviews you two are too fun to miss...oh yeah, and the RVs are usually pretty good, too.
Matt and Andrea, I love the video. Both of you hit a home run with this class B. I'm thinking about buying class B. I definitely keep this model in mind while I'm shopping for a class B. I can't wait to see both of you in your next video.
Looking good Matt!!! Pretty soon, you'll have to change your reviews! "Who else will take their skinny ass up on the roof to show you the features? NOBODY!"
Keep up the great work!
😂 😂
Matt & Andrea, "absolutely love" the channel. Winnebago ... as somebody seriously considering this RV, I wanted to give you some feedback. First, the BOLDT is awesome, it looks great, the Mercedes chassis is the best available with outstanding safety features and good mileage, we are particularly drawn to the VOLTA power system, it is a very modern approach and we love it, but we could not pull the trigger on the BOLDT, here is why. Bathroom + Refrigerator. We want to travel with our son, so we want the awesome forward facing third seat with shoulder belt, so the 70BL floorplan is for us, but the fridge is so very tiny, not enough for 3 people to travel. Second is the bathroom, its so tiny on this layout and really unusable. I know, I know, its a class B, but the Travato, your own class B with a VOLTA system, has a nice bathroom and a good size fridge. how can those be bigger on a smaller chassis ? If you can change the BOLDT to be a bit more like the Travato 59GL, you would have a real winner on your hands. Last request, somehow find a place, someplace, somewhere on the outside of the BOLDT to hide and store the "stinky slinky" as Matt calls it. Nobody wants to bring that into their $200K home on wheels, especially one as nice as the BOLDT. Overall great job on this product, but we can't buy it until the layout issues outlined above are fixed.
The Boldt does have stinky slinky storage located around the middle of the chassis
I love class b’s and would like to see more. I like the mechanical & electrical features, cockpit, magnetic door screen, and size of the bathroom. That being said the interior design of the unit leaves a lot to be desired if they are promoting it for full time use. The weird “double” bed is useless for sleeping 2. The fridge needs to be bigger and needs to have 2 induction cook tops, I would promote the van for solo travelers and get rid of the small couch to put in more cabinets, make the kitchen counter top & longer by removing the drivers table (this way you would have more space for another induction cooker). Last but not least I would offer a boon-docking option of a cassette toilet thus freeing up valuable space for more freshwater carrying capacity.
I enjoyed this video. I need to see the B+ version of this van though. This could work but the small fridge,one burner, & one cook top wouldn’t fit my plans & intended usage.
Thanks for this review.
Prefect coach for an older couple if they have to drive a thousand miles just to visit their grand children
Thank you Andrea and Matt. Very informative!
Yes please more class Bs! Would love to see Thor Sequence 20a. Mahalo!
👍👍
I respect the fact that you are telling the truth about the down sides. I just now starting to research the RV lifestyle and you guy are very helpful
Finally a class B, That Boldt is the only Class B I would trade my Winnebago Travato K class B for, I tow my 4 seat Polaris RZR with my TK and it struggles with the Pentastar gas engine on the long grades in AZ. That diesel would not break a sweat going up those grades.
I want one!!
Thanks commenting and watching Pat:)
Matt, please review more B Classes. I truly believe YOU have an opportunity to help shape the future of the B class. Your reviews are fun, intelligent, honest, and technically accurate. Continue to stay humble and enjoy your success!
Class B's are not really my taste either, but I really liked seeing this review.
Please do more and I did enjoy seeing you test drive this model too.
Just want to say you both rock and Matt you have a wonderful partner in Andrea.
Like the fact has lots of storage the space bathroom looks great the way you could move around just which beds was just whole piece...
You should do more class B RVs. I really like the way you do reviews and I'm really interested in class B's, not everyone wants to have a bus as an RV.. lol!
Like the bolt and love more Class B reviews... VanLife is a huge growing population. 3 things I love: 1. Mercedes Platform and safety features. 2. Swivel passenger and driver seats. 3. Lithium and solar.
Things I don’t like. 1. Lack of storage. Need storage for 2 chairs, 1 folding table and a small bbq. 2. Need a larger sep fridge/freezer. 3. Need legun table setups
More Class B’s please!
I’ve never seen a modern Class B and was totally in awe of the number of cabinets! Dislikes: 1. MSRP wow! Sale price is much better for the size, 2. Agree with you on the Mercedes voice sensitivity and 3. It’s still small. Likes: 1. Solar generated power, great idea, 2. Great bathroom! 3. Awning and screen door! You could easily fit this in a garage without having to pay for storage. I could consider such a unit! Thx
Last comment from me , I promise lol. After watching to the end I have to say that as nice as it is I am with y'all on the couches/bed. I have seen it done so much better in lots of other class B vans and it's actually disappointing. Even if I had the money to buy one of these ( which I don't lol) I couldn't choose this one because of the couches even though everything else is perfect to me, especially the off grid abilities.
Not really considering a Class B, but if I was this looks really cool! Keep doing Class B's bud. Not everyone is looking just at Class A and C's. 👍🏻
Hey Matt how about a Leisure Travel Van next? Congrats on all the followers.
I had a Jayco 29D about 30 ft. I rather have a B because u don’t need a car, plus u can use it like a car and good for long day trips
I saw a video on a Winghamm which I think is an Italian vehicle. It had a Longitudinal pull down bed with skylight. I fell in love with it! I feel like nothing else will do now since I can't "unsee" it...lol.
Do we have anything like that in USA?
Matt, at last a B class. Sure do more of these. Great job, as always.
You are both so fun. It's like watching a tiny homes tour. I'm not buying anything but I come here often for my morning coffee and it is so relaxing. Thanks for the videos.
MOVE OVER ABBOTT AND COSTELLO... IT'S THE MATT AND ANDREA SHOW!!!!! SO ENDEARING!!!
But Andrea is WAAYYY better looking that A&C. Matt, how did you ever get Andrea to marry you? Is it your *charming personality*???
George Burns and Gracie Allen!! Seriously, the Class B is the best for running around and having fun. You wrestle those 30"+ Class A's ( and some Class C's) around town and areas you really want to be in, and your begin to see the advantage of the Class B. You really can hide it practically anywhere and still have all the comforts of home.
@@jlarm3 , indeed. I saw another couple who normally travel in a C and they rented a B for a Florida trip. Over and over and over he was delighted at being able to take a normal parking spot and with the ease of getting in and out of campsites. It was pretty funny.
This van also fits through drive-thru lanes, parks in a regular parking space and you will never have a problem fitting at the gas pump. It's great for those who travel/work remotely. No need for high hotel prices. It's intended for the simple life on the road.
I would have laughed so hard if Mercedes would have come on during the review and said,. Matt is that Art Deco. Lol.
🤣
Omg wouldn’t that have been hilarious..lol
Thank you for finally touring a Class B! More, please!
What I like:
1. It's a Mercedes class B (all the bells and whistles of a MB)
2. The wet bath
3. Built-in solar panels (although not enough)
4. The cabinetry styling
5. Location of kitchen by sliding door
6. Built-in lit awning
What could be better:
1. WHITE upholstery (not practical)
2. Two long benches that fold into bed... wasted space, Murphy bed more efficient
3. Not enough storage
I never thought I would consider a class B but this Boldt is awesome there is nothing to dislike. Might I might be sold?
My 3’s (and first comment ever on your vids even though I’ve been binging on them).
Likes: 1. All the windows! 2. Swivel captain chairs. 3. Stealthy and I can help my husband drive it. Bonus likes: Cabinetry & lighting & cool magnetic screen door & decent sized wet bath.
Dislikes: 1. Fridge is too small 2. Awkward bed layout so I can’t sleep by my husband. 3. No other lounge spot for our two dogs when we’re sleeping.
More reviews, please, both B’s and could you also review bumper pulls?!?!?! We’re in the market for a trailer. Absolutely love you both!
More class B’s!!! Love 1) the screen door, 2) amount of rooftop solar, and 3) power sliding door. Not so much 1) the twin beds.
Thanks for sharing your feedback Doug:)
Thanks for the Class B review guys!
Three things I liked:
1. The finish inside is very nice, especially the cabinets
2. The kitchen is really set up well for the size of the camper, really like the induction cooktop & microwave/convection combination.
3. The electrical setup with the lithium batteries & solar panels. Expensive, but could likely boondock for extended periods.
Three things I don't like:
1. The layout: put the bunks even and closer to the back door, maybe a rear lounge or dinette converting to a double bed, or maybe a Murphy bed, plus some garage space if possible underneath. Use a smaller bath module closer to the door across from the galley. I've seen some that put the galley by the sliding door with outside access for cooking out, then the bath across from that. I don't see how the sleeping position works for either camper
2. It's really long, so parking is going to be a hassle in town.
3. It's expensive. For the money, you could get a really nice class C or, for less money, a B+ with more space. I know it can carry two, but it could only be for short trips. One person could probably get by in that small space, but for two, I think it's too tight.
I don't see this as a viable solution for full time camping.
Actually surprised by how nice it is for being so small. Interior cabinets look great. Really shocked by bath shower and toilet. I would like to know the cargo weight capacity since it is designed for outdoor living and need to know what all could be taken along. I encourage you to do more Class B reviews, but some lower price point units. The B+ Sprinter chassis units have a big advantage unless you are trying to be total stealth for city stays. Nice unit, just a little pricey.
Love the total electric. The bath is great and all the bells and whistles for driving is great. Do not like the the sleeping arrangements or the lack of room between the beds. However if I were to retire shortly this would be great running around the country seeing my kids and grandkids. You and Andrea are great!!
Hello everyone!
Our likes:
* For such a small unit it is laid out pretty well. We also wish the beds were aligned better, though.
* We love the fact that it is solar-friendly. With a unit that small, solar is almost a requirement.
* We like having the doors at the back as well as the side and front. If an emergency exit was required there is little to no reason why an exit couldn't be done quickly and safely.
* The towing capability would make it pretty easy to pull a small storage trailer of some sort (to carry a grill, bicycles/golf cart, etc.) or a flatbed trailer for a motorcycle.
Our dislikes:
* Although we understand class B motor homes are expensive as a rule, we wish there was some way the prices could be reduced. It's hard for "regular" people to consider spending that much on such a small unit when we could get something with much more room for considerably less.
* It would be interesting if there was a snap-on tent type structure for the back in case someone really wanted to take an outside shower. It could possibly snap onto the back of the unit for access to the water and for privacy.
* You've probably seen this is a regular request of ours, but it's even more important in such a small unit. Since there is very little room for storage, having a cutting board cover for the sink would be essential for us.
* We didn't see any blinds to close off the cockpit area from outside. If there aren't any, there should be...never know when a peeping Tom might show up.
P.S.
We LOVE the way the vehicle didn't respond to either of you at the end of the video. Too funny!
Love class b reviews! Thanks Matt and Andrea.
Thanks for doing a Class B review. As a single person, this could have been a great solution. But, in my amateur opinion too much sacrifice for too much money. Not for the retired person.
Thanks for sharing your feedback 👍
I love your enthusiasm about life. I know it can be hard but you shine like a new penny.
Electric, Winnebago, screen door magnets.
Yes, I want to see more class B reviews. I think you have only done 2.
Yes, plenty of models in Canada, surely the USA has more that 2 types.
I like the Volta system a lot, I also like the bed and I think that style bed has a way to put the head up a bit. I also like the bathroom area. I didn't see a lot to dislike
Finally something besides the class A's, thank you.
👍👍
Thanks for doing the class B and yes I do like the fact that you’ve done it and I would like to see more I really enjoyed all of your Reviews and hopefully Winnebago will take note of this and continue to bless us with you Reviews. Also thanks Andrea for all your help! bye
Awesome! Thank you!
I would also love to see your review of the Coachman Galleria and the Revel as requested in my prior comment. Thumbs up on the diet (it’s working).
Thank you so much! I will get more reviews on class Bs soon!
Great review Matt & Andrea! Thanks for doing the class b review. The main thing preventing me from going with a Boldt is the sofa / bed configuration. Sofa’s need better back support and the two parts of the bed need to line up! Please do more Class b reviews!
Thanks so much for watching and sharing your feedback 👍🤗
