Thank you for showing this vehicle. I have been looking for awhile and Class C is my preference. This model/style is definitely my favorite now too! Please show more class Cs!
wait 4 years and you can find this used for $30k
right and it could have been way better this the worst ive seen ive seen converted busses better than this id give it a 1 out of 10
Wait a few more and find one for 15
I hope so cuz I plan on living in an RV full time in about 4 years lol
Agree!
Who the hell wants to wait 4 years ppl git life to live
That space behind the tv is storage. We use it for towels and sheets
We just bought a 2021 Entergra 31f. It’s the V8 (swivel seats) and has the upper windshield with better features. Everything is accessible with the super slide out except a few bedroom drawers and even the bunk house is open. We are missing the auto level, but otherwise happy. 78K.
We want something for multiple pets to go with us.A emergency exit by bed or bathroom.Maybe stackable washer and dryer
Like this flooring better than the wood look.
Love it, this is the best one I have seen. I want one.❤
I like the class c the floor looks good to also like wood floors this would do good layout inside
I have a 2011 30 Coachman.
Layout is similar in the front
Nice looking unit
Wood grain floor is a more attractive flooring.
Only one complaint from me. I wish they had switched the positions of the toilet and shower because then the toilet would have been a straight shot from the center walkway of the RV rather than having to go around the bed. People spend more time on the toilet than in a shower and having to do more maneuvering to get there will, no doubt, annoy some people.
We agree about the flooring. Wood style would be better
Class C is my favorite, but I would pass on this unit. I just don't have the desire to have that outdoor kitchen, and no counter space inside hurts too. But, this would be the ticket for a lot of people, and you can use a portable little table for counter space. To each his own.
Flip up counter and solid, remove able cover on the stove top would have been nice.
I think it helps to sell buy knowing how much each RV costs .
can't believe there is no locks on outside doors. Someone could just walk up late at night, open the door and walk off with that beautiful TV.
At $85k grand, I could buy a WeeRoll travel trailer that's all aluminum and a F250 pickup.
Nice unit, but I agree with you, wood-look floors would be much better.
This is beautiful, shame there’s nothing even half this nice available in Australia unless you want to pay around $307000aud
Yep, we have a looong way to go in terms of choice in Australia
Looks nice, except for the lack of counter space!
Very nice home
Nice layout.
yes on the lack of counter space is a not good and wood like flooring for sure.
At 3:53 he opened the door and it looked like a creature with tentacles on the side of it. The door was shut fast. What was it.?
I didnt even notice it the first time! It has to be something biological, for sure.
Wiring
It looks like a crab leg.
There’s more counter space in the bathroom than the kitchen 😂
Wood style floor would make it look richer.
Why is bathroom in rear where you have to pass through bedroom for access?
Hey Jeff how are you doing
Pretty neat
Super C's too.
Hello and Love your channel! Can you advise a newbie with New Class C
Insurance and Roadside insurance options. We are looking at Coach-net,
FMAC, Geico, Auto-Owners, Nationwide and National General. Of these can
you comment on your personal choices for both RV insurance and roadside
also. Thank you, Terry and Dianne
Cool video
I never understood why they don’t build many of these in diesel. You would think it would be much better for the heavy load
Hey Mark how are you doing
There is no way I would pay $85,000 for that. I’ll stick with a travel trailer and truck
Dee Jay Totally agree that’s why I will stick with travel trailers or fifth wheels but to each their own in all camper serve their own purpose your totally correct on that.
Your truck plus a travel trailer has to be close to that amount if they are new and nice.
The nice thing about this is its compact size and you aren’t putting all those miles on your primary truck...
Nice video. Thank you for sharing a class C review. Is there an awning and what is the gvrw info.
What the heck is that Copper looking stuff on the upper left hand side of the Propane Tank at 3:52?... It looks like some type of Sealant ?
That’s weird. We have a 2008 Coachmen Freedom Express that we bought 3 years ago and you could put in the slide with the vehicle off, just turn on the house battery. Wow is very different from mine. Not to impressed with this newer model. I’ll keep mine . We have a big pantry, access to bathroom and queen size bed is on the back end no slide and you could walk around the bed.
Okay the slides are not in. They are out. Take a look at the very first part of the video.
Do the cabin seats spin around?
I agree with everyone. The bathroom would be better in a different location. Possible in front of the bedroom. Move the bathroom, add a foldout counter extension, and change the vinyl to wood looking vinyl....that would be perfect!
I have to say putting the control panel and leveling jack controls next to the bottom stair step seems crazy inconvenient to me. The control panel should be head height when standing inside, and the jacks controller should be near the drivers seat.
Would love more reviews on drivables class A, C, and super C. I would love to hear about maintance and cost with each style as well as towing.
What still seems confusing, is how the RV industry still hasn't caught up with reality... Note that a lot of them still don't secure the outside storage areas with locked entrances. Those that do, use a standardized key generically available to everyone online. It's surreal that the engineers who build these things, are still clueless in this area....
They could move the bathroom out of the master bedroom you don't want the kids or your guess walking back and forth to your room while you're sleeping
Gardnet Bush DONT have either one in your camper...live alone 😂
@@scottperkins7826 lol you right
Yup, bed in the rear with windows and bathroom in between living area and bedroom would be way better
Scott Perkins that is too funny, but yes. Our fifth wheel had the bathroom upstairs with the master and a pain when brother in law came one time with his alcholhoic non doing anything althletic wife screaming at worms and fish! Babbles all day long....Went to bed early at 8pm in a drunk stumper drinking light beer for calories she says but drank like 20??? and locked us out of our clothing, supplies and the bathroom. She got mad at me when I just went in for my night clothes! In a huff in the morning they went down the mountains to a hotel. Good riddance. The poor husband didnt get to fish again. I’m not that nature buff either, a bit overweight but never ever put myself over the guys that do want to fish. I stay at camp, do a nature walk but I fish in silence by myself too. Stream fishing is solitary sport. Never invited mixed couples again. My hubby goes alone with the brothers or they come and stay in own vehicle or tents. Leaving her home! We now moved to our fishing town. But we downsized to a smaller trailer that is only missing floor space and bathroom separate at end of trailer.
@@lyricwritertoo yes but true lol
That was a great break from the usual on your channel. Class C motorhome is interest me very much.
Ran
How about exporting in 220 v
The bathroom is designed perfectly! I love everything about this! I’m not worried about the lack of kitchen counter space, I would work at the kitchen table. Personally I’m not a fan of those pop up counters. As far as the floors, I actually don’t mind the vinyl. I just would want something that’s easy to clean since we all know how dirty the floors get every day! I love it all!!!
Wife and I purchased our latest 5th wheel this past October, a Grand Design Reflection 320MKS. We love it. We’re in our 60’s and at this point I don’t have any problems climbing in and out of the bed of my GMC 2500HD diesel truck. But when that becomes an issue or if the truck dies, we’ll be moving to a Class C. The cost of a new truck alone is close to the price of a decent Class C. I’ll be looking for a king bed and would prefer a love seat recliner as opposed to a sleeper sofa. Thanks for the video. I always enjoy your channel.
Would appreciate seeing many more Class C tours. Really like how you do them all!
This RV was SOOOO popular they discontinued it the very next year.
:c
Could you please do reviews on truck campers from time to time and what size truck they would pair well with? Thank you.
This is a very poor design. When the slide is in you can not access the bathroom unless you crawl over the bed.
I think people new to RVing may naively purchase with viewing only with the slides out?? Who knows. Weird to me too
How about opening the slide and leaving it out so you can go to bathroom, genuis? Rhetorical question there.
@@Sig721Tau what about on travel days...or one quick boondocking city night where you need to leave your slide in (Walmart cause you aren't level...)
The bed folds in half and slides in on the base. You still have access to the bathroom.
@@jbaker1107 9l
More mix of types is nice. The fifth-wheels are super nice, but a small motorhome is what many are looking for.
The fifth wheels are there in eyes but my daughter myself we can't handle those we have to have a well as The Coachman live we have a Winnebago right now but it takes a man to had all that rig and we can't handle that but we can we can handle. The other RV that works for us
Thank you Carlton!
Your expertise in the RV industry is clear. It would be interesting to have you evaluate other types of RV’s since most of us are novices.
Do you realize senior citizens often can’t step up 12” at one step? And I bet more RV’s are sold to retired people than young peopl
This was really nice! Has everything you’d need. Plus good storage
Good video. I consider this to be a "Big Truck" with an integral living space, so I think it fits your channel. My wife and I have been looking at this type lately, and we can see a lot of benefits and drawbacks, so information like this is good for us. Keep it up, please.
Hey Thomas, how are you doing
@@mariarusso8239 hi
The lack of counter space is a deal-breaker.
More like zero counter top space!
@@WestShoreMan The meaning of lack includes zero.
unfurling You lack imagination.
www.homedepot.com/b/Storage-Organization-Folding-Tables/Folding-TV-Trays/N-5yc1vZc7nnZ1z1ajk7 just get one of these. I assume you aren’t trying to cook on that while it’s moving. Some of them are designed to be in tighter spaces. You could even potentially put some vice grips or spring clips on it and a folding lockable joint and have a fold out extension directly on it.
You can always use the counter in the bathroom...lots of counter there...duh.
Why would anyone want to mount a TV on the offside of the RV? I think that is the cable input! Nice C Class.
Why bother speculating about adding a second air conditioner the thing has ducted air. Why put in a second air conditioner if there's not enough counter space to cut an onion 😁😁😁😁😁
is there a pocket door to close off bedroom ? Thank you Sir PEACE
Love the outdoor kitchen with a fold out table, makes for extra prep space. Not a lot of prep area in the inside kitchen, but I like the J dinette abs pantry space. Great storage in the sleeping area. Nice!
For the cost of ford expedition you could have a house on wheels. Crazy. Thanks for the video
Doesn't make sense does it?
It shows the high markup on trucks and large SUVs. By far the most profitable vehicles for Ford, Dodge, and GM. People are just throwing money away buying them and they rarely get used to their capabilities.
Kitchen is a total fail. Our first MH had that kitchen. Unusable.
Like the floor. We have a wood style and I'm not thrilled but both are better than carpeting.
I love how he says there isn't much kitchen counter space. When there is actually 0% of a kitchen counter available to actually use.
We have the 24f version by Thor. It has the "wood" linoleum which I agree is more attractive. We also have a mid bath accessible with full wall slide in. The major gripe I have with the Ford cutaway is driver legroom (I'm 6'1"). The driver seat back hits the slide wall trim, preventing it from moving back far enough. I made some modifications to allow the driver seat to move further back, and also raised the seat some. Those mods GREATLY increased my leg room/comfort! For those Interested, I plan to make a RUclips video soon detailing what/how I accomplished this... as soon as this crappy Ohio weather improves!
I'm a 5th Wheel owner myself and that's where I think I'll stay for the next 5 to 10 years at least, but I do love seeing all sorts of RV types so you'll always get views from me !
I wonder if RV manufacturers will start putting large flat lithium batteries under the floor like Tesla's and other E-cars..
A sale rep that says 'that's a dumb idea, what'd they do that for??' compared to a rep that tries to blow smoke up your wazoo saying how great something is when they themselves don't believe it is refreshing.
This is my kind of sales guy! Tell it like it is!! I'm 950 miles north of Houston but it'd be worth the trip down there to buy an rv! I went to Dallas for my last 2 cars, what's another 300 miles?
This is so perfect! I love, love, love this one. You provided a very informative video. Thank you!!!
Mommy
Did I miss it or is there really zero privacy screening at the front? I don't even see a mount for a slider curtain. And that countertop area is about as small as many 19 foot camp trailers. They ruined the usability with that huge, awkward, diagonally mounted sink. Weird that it comes with such a large fridge with that tiny kitchen space. I would toss that ridiculous sink for a smaller unit and redo the counter, adding about 18 inches space next to the sofa. I love the outdoor kitchen setup. Plenty of space there but it's impractical to prep all meals outside all the time! At least there is a large amount of storage space in the bedroom.
I really appreciate the honest walkthrough review, whilst keeping the desirability to fitting consumers. Great honest sales approach. You will go far in the industry my friend 👍
Yeah I agree
Thank you for showing it to us. Yes, a mix is great, specially on the small length for family of 4.
Really like this one! This floor plan would be awesome for a solo traveler or a couple (fewer issues with bathroom placement).
I think adding more videos about motorhomes could help with the decisions between a truck + fifth wheel vs motorhomes
The issue I have with this type of RV is the use of a van for the platform. There is just not enough leg room especially for a long drive . At least give me a pickup truck cab so I can stretch my legs a little.
I toured the Coachmen plant in September and based on my 35 years of experience RVing I would not recommend them. A very disorganized office and taken on a tour on their assembly line, in the dark, with obstacles strewn all over the floor. In my opinion, stay away from Coachmen.
By contrast, I had a totally different experience when touring their facility. Was the factory a bit of a mess? Yes, but I didn't see how their could be any way to prevent that. Dedicated cleaning employees were sweeping between units and clearing scraps when they could. I noticed that the employees seem happy as well as focused on their job. many companies have specific tour dates that allow them to prepare and clean up for the public. Coachmen allowed me to tour their facility in a way that showed how the factory works on a normal day. I felt the same way when I toured the LUXE facility. It was what appeared to be controlled chaos. I understand that you've been RVing for 35 years, but not sure how that directly applies to a factory tour..
I love my coachmen and would buy another one 👍
@@BigTruckBigRV I have been on many plant tours of other manufacturers and that's what I am comparing to. We are all entitled to our opinions and I am sharing mine as one of your viewers and an experienced RVer. I won definitely want someone to warn me about a manufacturer based on what I saw. I gave a nice comment about them based on my tour which was a regular work day but I did schedule several weeks in advance.
@@m3cog How about Jayco Plant? I have purchased items for our small business from Amish and Mennonites and they are dedicated workers and know their quality is good? Just wondering
We always need Counter space I am pretty sure a tilt up counter can be added and a 3” shelf for spices. Everyone needs a place too cook and wash fruits and vegetables and fill plates
I like that the sleeping area TV cabinet is deep enough for storage. I watch TV on my iPad, so I don’t need a tv in the bedroom. Extra storage is never a bad idea.
I don't like the design and the major question is..... will it leak???
Very nice RV!
I do agree with someone who said the bathroom is in an odd place for overnight guests. I don't mind walk-through bathrooms as they are larger. But for 2 people, it's great!
I agree! That fridge is huge for that C and I have never seen a resi fridge in a class C but a beautiful RV nonetheless
I would love that fridge.
That fridge is small compared to the residential one in our Leprechaun 311FS. Large fridges are nice.
Thanks My question is when is the new gas engine gonna be available. I am interested in the class C’s around 30+ foot thanks again Wayne
It’s available on the 2020 model year E-Series and F-Series
Nick Crane Thanks
Hello, Nice video. I like your honesty. So: yes, the kitchen is deficient of counter space. I agree it needs a flip up extended counter pc. THe flooring ... needs to be a dark wood so that the area feels grounded. The bathroom? Wth? I don’t like that there is no privacy in the bedroom. Otherwise...not a bad RV.
Yes I would change the floor to wood and yes I would to see some class B and C units thanks your time
Thank you for reviewing this unit. To make it fit into the "towable space", you could apply your expertise on how to tow a trailer with this unit. I am thinking of a 16-foot Motorcycle or car hauler. I have concerns with the advertised towing capacity on small Class C or Class B motorhomes. Also, with the length of overhang from the tires to the rear of the unit, would it impact trailer towing? Would this unit have the ability to tow 5000 pounds successfully over 100,000 miles? Thank you!
This is unbelievably full of storage & Love that. To a Solo no issues with bathroom accept maybe for visitors & bedroom walk in. Overall love it.
Class C is always interesting. Having a chance to show more, it will be nice! Great videos, congrats!
Actually also prefer the wood style, and I prefer grays versus browns. Still a beautiful unit
More class C's please!
Thank you for showing the Class “C”. We live in a 5th Wheel. Would love to be able to tow it into the National Forests we love to inhabit for a fishing; but I don’t think the 5th Wheel would tow well in those areas. Our 5th Wheel is over 30 ft. I have “heard” Mountain Passes with switchbacks, sharp curves, and steep grades are not to travel towing a 5th Wheel. Is this true?
Nice rig! I’d prefer while cabinetry & walls throughout & wood look flooring! Would look so much more spacious, light & airy!
I love the lighter color floor, the wood grain gets old after a while.
I absolutely love this class C unit!!!! Nice presentation 👌
We have a Freedom Express Coachman travel trailer. It is just a bit smaller than this RV. We only have 1 AC and it is plenty big enough, keeps our camper very comfortable. You may not need a second AC for this unit?? I am with you regarding the wood looking vinyl flooring. Not a fan of the vinyl in this RV. Thank you for sharing. Love the layout of this rig. Love your channel.
You may not do other type of RVs often but you do them well and you have a good following who makes some great points, like the layout, that I would've overlooked
How do you deal with toddler car seats in a class C or class A? Most of what I've read suggest to not use them, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make it safe.
I have the same question! And why doesn’t anyone provide the number of seatbelts in the reviews or details?
Overpriced. Not worth it. Things need to be more affordable.
Thanks for covering the Class C!
Are there any newer Class C Rv's with less features? Lower base price etc
Maybe a little more counter space!
Maybe a bathroom before the bedroom!
Maybe two people with no kids!
Maybe buy something else?
I think I would like darker flooring in that unit, be it wood style or whatever. Also, the sofa would have to be swapped out for theater seats if I am going to have to look up at the tv. Being able to recline would make that a lot more comfortable. Also, 7 people is too many for that size RV anyway. Flip up counter space would be a big improvement also. No place for a toaster or coffee pot.
