What you call "entry level" is what a retired couple like us ended with after years of Class C and Travel trailers. We are fairly skinny and it works out well for the two of us. We average about 18 mpg and love the simplicity of setting up camp ( about 5 minutes to hook up). We love to be able to park downtown and in busy cities and park pretty much anywhere. A good firm bed pad and lithium coach battery change made it even better.

Perfect for a single person. I love the bathroom in the back.

Like: 1. SOS button 2. Bathroom pocket door 3. Day lounger Dislike: 1. Plastic step on the doors 2. Microwave (Should have been convection) 3. The sofa/bed material

Tetris music in my head

Thanks to Matt for doing all the RV Review routines like skipping around to the front so those of us with OCD don't do a Rain Man when we don't see them. :)

I wonder why they didn’t use a pullout sofa bed instead, and I don’t care for the bike rack, it seems dangerous. I agree with Becky that an induction stove top, would be better. But other than that, I really liked that van!👍🏻

Best B van I’ve seen on your show, Matt! I think it’s absolutely perfect! Currently full-time in a class C and towing a tiny car, and if I could make it work, I would totally do this. I am one person with two tiny dogs, and I think this is absolutely fantastic. Make that van tastic!

This is a great RV for someone who travels alone or with a dog, likes to park on streets in the city while touring, wants the small footprint in parking lots and good gas mileage. As for the driver's view in the front, look at most bus style RVs and you cannot see the front hood, and even the Thor Vegas and Axis have similar views. I don't think this is a negative unless you want a truck style like a class C. I have had several class A from 28 to 37 foot long and finally went to a Class C seven years ago and now am finding I don't want to tow anything behind me. This seems very good for my needs. As for the cassette toilet, I am having to think outside what I am used to with a black tank; however, one thing that makes me think I will like this is the last miles of any journey on my way home. I always try to use the restroom just before leaving the final campground because I will have no place to dump when I get home. This will be much better as I can simply dump this in my home toilet which gives me comfort in knowing I can use the restroom without worry of where I can dump after that last five to eight hour drive home. That's a good reason for the cassette,

Even as a solo vanlifer, that bed is a dealbreaker!

Previously enjoyed meals on wheels.

Since this is really considered a singles coach.., one person could just pull the back cushions off and use it as a single sleeper.

I like Becky. She is great covering the Class Bs.

I need a hundred thousand dollars. I'm 38 and have been dreaming of van life for close to 10 years. I don't have a remote job (HVAC tech) but I'm tired of paying exorbitant rent and utility expenses. I really think this one is perfect for me. I don't need much. Just a tv for Netflix and PlayStation 5 😆 The daybed with a view is awesome. That bathroom is perfect. Idk why more people don't buy these super cute tiny B vans. So many single men and women throwing 1000-2000 a month away on just rent. Crazy. If I worked remote, I would buy this van tomorrow without hesitation and never sleep in the same spot twice.

I wouldn't call the "sewer hose" a stinky slinky. Isn't that the gray water hose? The cassette toilet is essentially the "black tank."

Nothing covers all the bases...it is why people change RV's..this would be a beautiful way for a solo to have a spare car and RV in one...a place to sleep and "go" for short trips and especially visiting family and friends,,,you are no more problem than an extra vehicle you would be anyway...and maybe a little generator noise off and on...spring and early fall...wonderful way to visit so many folks important to you..and oh a clean place to "go" and easy to dump. You could even pull a very light trailer for when you go with a friend...it really is awesome.

Nice B van. Great review Matt and Becky 👍

Anyone in the rv world knows Matt skipping around the rv

This is the perfect van for a single traveler. 1 or 2 week trips. Even an xtra couple ft would be good. Nobody mentioned heat or a/c. Or solar options. Bed set up could be a lot easier. Hopefully they'll think of that for next model. Yep, I can see it now-- me and a "travelin' cat" or small doggo out seeing the US.

you are right, matt......keep it simple!

I would buy this in a minute if the bed was an automatic recliner do not want to deal with cushions!

Hi Matt, I really liked the Van, it has Everything+ that huge bath that actually makes me ok with a wet bath- far out!

This my favorite one

Way to go Becky. Beating Matt in bowling.

I'm really liking this van, nice n short so you can get into tight camp sites and easier around those hairpin mountain roads. I LOVE the idea of a cassette toilet vs a black tank. Don't need a microwave, rather have the extra storage area. That bed assembly is a nightmare. Has to be an easier way. Thanks for the review! 👍🏻

I really love the layout of this one. If it just had an induction and a simpler bed it'd be perfect for me. Oh well. I can't afford any of these anyway. Fun to dream.

POTABLE! Yay Becky! Thanks again for a great video, Matt! I like this van except the bed. No way could two people sleep on that bed, and as for solo, the setup of the bed is not worth it and I'd sleep on the couch. Once the bed is made, you have to go to sleep because you can't do anything else in there. They could have made the van a little longer and still kept the nice sized bathroom and added to the bed length at least. I also would want the steering column to go up and down as well as the telescoping but that's a little quirk of mine.

The "day bed" arrangement is great for me. I wish that the drawers at the floor level ( the ones that going toward the seats) were a little longer. Where do you store the blankets? I would love more counter space (but most vans have that problem), plus additional solar. When I'm ready to buy....I think I'm going to have go to a custom set-up. (More counters, short bed, more storage and that bike rack would have to be converted to storage boxes, + other ideas). So I guess this isn't the van for me!

I own the Thor Scope 18 M I Love it

Very nice

Why don't they mention the MPG? That is a major factor for me. I don't want to burn a lot of gasoline.

Seems odd to have the "step up" into the drivers cab have two drawers placed into the "step up" that seem to take most of that space. I am sure there is a reason for it, but I find it rather odd. Get rid of those two silly drawers and keep the main floor more level.

Buy these when they are on sale at a SHOW price of 59,000-69,000 USD that's when I typically purchase, then it's a VALUE! If your your RICH please disregard :)

It is beautiful but for 90 K and all the potential potential issues w Thor I think 55K is more than enough

I cannot watch this anymore. Becky is absolutely worthless in actually providing useful information for the review...

I liked the van but this man was the most annoying person I have seen in a very long time. He interrupted, talked over, and contradicted the woman. He had to be the center of the attention all the time. I would think that the audience for this small RV would strongly tend towards single women. OMG know your audience . I would never deal with or buy from you. I couldn't even finish the video.

The smaller the motorhome the more you see coverage of visors or things you would never pay attention to with a class A pusher, or a Super C, they kind of have that get to know yourself package, with look back mirrors, see thru glass.

So do you hit your head or your feet on the table? Just asking.
