Beautiful motorhome, Nick. Thanks! It’s amazing to see what seems to be a hundred or so of these land yachts at an Indy car race at Texas Motor Speedway.

0:38 It's quite a modern look. By 1970's USA standards it surely has. 50 shades of beige and brown.

I like the first one better. Just seems more modern, I guess? And I've lived in apartments that were smaller than these rolling homes...LOL Great tour, Nick. As always!!

Very Nice! I think this is something I could see us living in!! Another Great Video Nick!! ( We like the first one)

Aussies are the biggest fans no doubt 😉 have a good day nick! I’ll watch this after I eat dinner!!

Hooray, catch up time, what a cracking pair.... of vans! And camping used to considered as slumming it. Not now, 5star all the way. Excellent tour as per usual. Thank you, take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍🚌🚐😎

That is one of the best RV I have seen because of the washing machune and dryer along with the on suite to normal bathroom

Great looking motorhome.. Quite contemporary for the Americans... Though as they knew it would be sold in the UK they put the obligatory umbrella in the master wardrobe. LOL Lots of features that you can play with on these things too.

If somebody need 3 TV, do not go anywhere, stay at home 😀Great presentation thank you.

The dream is making one of these fully autonomous...as in replace the drivers seats with a giant window and a couch autonomous. Not just one of these that can go on autopilot. Schedule your departure date, or summon it (if you don’t have enough room to keep it on premises...maybe storage could also include a maintenance regime) open the app on your phone, even shows up at either the scheduled time or in a half hour or so of summoning and parks itself in the predetermined geotagged location. You walk out, load up any luggage and food, step aboard, drop a pin or navigate to your destination and the bus buttons itself up and sets off while you sit back and chill. Hungry? Pull up the app and detour to a restaurant. It could segregate by places that have parking that could accommodate your bus, or just drop you off and go into a holding pattern or go refuel and/or park offsite until you indicate you’re finished. Since we’re talking fully autonomous, so near/not so near future, your car could also presumably follow you, so gone are the days of Hooking up the family car to a tow hitch before setting off. ‘Luckily’ for me, by the time I’ll likely even be able to consider purchasing one of these, I’d wager they’ll all be equipped with features similar to what I described...

It's big ... very big !! hotel with a restaurant on wheels would be a better description. But I expected a little tour of the engine room. And can we cross the Atlantic with a full tank? And where was Maggie! The possibilities offered by the retractable walls are unprecedented. and the price of this kind of Mastodons is, I think, in comparison with yachts of the same volume and comfort level "reasonably affordable"

Those american RVs just look so dated and 70's with the ornamented wood. I'd love to see a really sleek and modern RV without the huge leather seats and horrible fake wood trim. Something like what the italien yacht-makers produce.

We have RVs like that. Prevost motorcoach conversions. $1.5 to $3.0 million, US. Build it like a yacht, it’s priced like a yacht. I do hope that Nick gets a chance someday to tour these motorcoaches as they are amazing. Viewers probably won’t like them either as each one is built to the original owners taste. The big names are Marathon, Liberty, and Millennium. Also Newell, which makes their own chassis. There is also a hobby here in the states of DIY bus conversions built on used passenger buses. Some of them are amazing.

Another fine tour Nick.... but I have to disagree..... the interior of these American RV’s have a 1970’s prefab/MFI vibe about them, that they just don’t seem to want to kick....

They are usually very tight inside. This Bounder floor plan has been made for quite a few years. The bathroom is usable without having the slide out, but it is tight.

I love the fact that you can buy such a stunning luxury motorhome like this in the UK too. It does look stunning. Literally just an extension to a house haha

A true prairie schooner that would be more suitable to North American driving. The price point seems quite reasonable for what you get. Good tour Nick as always. Now you have to decide ‘ New water vehicle or New land vehicle’? How do you decide? 🤩

Perfect for the narrow country roads you Brit's have. : ) I guess farmer Muggins will have to back his Ferguson.

I did not know this model was still being manufactured. All the Bounder's I have seen are ten years old have shag carpet and the exterior is badly faded.

Assuming A:- i had the money and B:- the need for something like this,getting spares for all of the gizmos and even the mechanicals must be a bit of an issue.I'd love to hire one for a week or two though so i could experience it.Camping on another level

Nice job. Any chance of a review of a Westfalia camper? A lot smaller but amazing for what you get. Also a normal mans price range.

What's with RVs and these country kitchen inspired interiors? We've seen other more modern or contemporary designs, but all this wood molding makes it feel very 90s. Perhaps it speaks to the customer base who's looking to buy something like this.

Dishwashers in motorhomes are still pretty rare, even at this price point. Plus, they are a pain to winterize. Most RVs have to have RV antifreeze pumped into the fresh water lines, or have the lines blown out to prevent freeze up and water using appliances of any kind really complicate the process. I’ve only ever seen drawer dishwashers in motorhomes and their reputation for reliability is not super good.

@@debbiejudd4933 A quick look at Fleetwood’s site shows that the Bounder, even for MY 2021, doesn’t have an option for a built in dishwasher. I’m not certain where you live (Europe, U.S., etc.), however in the RV market targeted at the U.S. middle class, motorhomes such as most all Class C and most affordable Class A do not have dishwashers as standard equipment and only rarely as optional equipment. I can only think of a couple of situations in U.S. motorhomes where I’ve seen drawer dishwashers, and those have been in diesel pusher coaches, typical of touring bands, some very expensive Super Cs, and some very high end, like fringe of market, Class As. Since you did not provide make and model of your well appointed RVs, it is difficult to have sufficient perspective about your response. However, based on the product availability and typical price point in the U.S. market, you and your family are very fortunate to have sufficient resources for such well equipped rigs.

Many of the coaches have air breaks. I honestly prefer a diesel pusher, such a nicer ride and more space.

With 4 kids, that one works. Wheel is correct.

Quality of the slideout mechanisms can vary massively on these smaller coaches. with the V10 petrol engine, its probably not really suitable for a country like ours where the price of fuel is so high. I take it these guys are not Fleetwood dealers, since this is the UK, how do you go about warranty repairs?

Hi Nick, would be good to see the space inside with the slide outs not deployed to see what you had to work with when not parked up, how functional are they for having passengers or making a quick lunch mid trip.

RVs are nice but man you could get a neat boat for that money and a bus is relatively expensive to run and you need a license anyways. So would you rather have a great RV or a boat? Sightseeing and wandering in the Alps or around the European lakes south of there is nice too.

I am American, but I think that if I was going to tour Britain in an RV, I would rent or buy one made for British roads and electrical systems.

Slide out bathroom??? How can you use it underway?

Not even double the price of a VW Campervan. Shows how expensive they are !!

Are these 110v or 240? A lot of the 5th wheel trailers are us voltage and need converting. (past life travelling with the fair, a number of my friends have us trailers and they have been converted)

I prefer the second one, but what licence do you need for these?

Beautiful, but for that amount of coin, you would want to live in it full time.

You say modern but I get more of 80's old school RV vibess with the dark wood, tan leather, overly decorated cupboard doors and ornamented door handles. It's pretty far from a new stylish yacht interior to be true.

Does it come in right hand drive ??

here is my questions. 1) who in the UK can afford to purchase this garbage? 2) my years in the UK I don't see how these boxes can fit on any but the most rural roads. 3) how long can you finance and what are the taxes on a yearly basis? Hate to be a buzzkill but someone has to ask the hard questions... Pip pip cherrio!

Can these ones be driven with a normal licence, or would you still need an HGV licence to drive them? Another great review video Nick, thank you 👍

I don’t think that Europeans understand that RVing in the US is for everyone. Not just the royals and privileged. Middle class can afford these and it’s who manufacturers target with these price points. If you’re into touring stuff you can’t afford check out Prevost and maybe educate yourself a bit.

Why do American RVs look “outdated”? Because the only people with the money to buy them are old and want something to look like their actual house lol. Not that complicated

Have to say that this is 21st century technology and 20th century styling. They could learn a lot from looking at the interior design adopted by Princess / Sunseeker in their boats. Employ a proper Interior Designer and not someone who designs Park Homes. The colour of the wood and the 1990's style mounded joinery is bloody awful!
