I understand that most of the units you review are expected to sit in RV parks plugged in. When you do Class B’s, however, please talk about power management systems. It is the number one driving force in choosing a class b. Thanks

I agree a hundred percent! they never talk about the lithium batteries. What drives me crazy is they never say how many amp hours the lithium batteries are. Good call!👍

It was good speaking to you briefly while you were taping

Lagoon Tables. 👍G. They are quite movable so they can swivel for getting past. They probably could latch together for a banquet. When done they fold away. Each person can have her own.

Happy to see a class B review! I dislike the lack of garage space/outside storage, and the legs on the awning. I like the interior decor and the long table.

I always thought it was weird having a wardrobe in a wet bath. I've seen a few KZreadrs complain about the Travato having a similar set-up. I guess moist clothes are not something to look forward too in a confined space. A dry bath in the back would be greatly appreciated and maybe other storage solutions for clothing.

Likes: Sleek cabinetry Decent bathroom Awning Dislikes Teeny fridge Was it prepped for solar? Weird sink Overall, it was fun to see a true B that actually looked rigged for weekend getaways.

Remember to tell us if it's a 4 season or not.... many people will be living in these things full time...

Liked it. Would like to see the long table split in half. So you could put up just half, or both sections. Been done on other builds and it was smart.

So sweet that people stop by and say hi! I actually like the cabinets and this class B. We are tall though, so the beds won't work for us. Great review, as always!

Yay, a “B”! 👏👏👏👏👏

Generators are so 20th century. The new hotness are lithium battery pack systems with a second alternator on the engine and engine auto-start when the batteries get down to 20%. In other words, the Volta Pure3 system as found in the Travato 59GL/KL. It's why I got a Travato 59GL. Also not a fan of the twin-be-rear-bath layout since it precludes one from using it for hauling a foldable bike like the rear-bed models do. Also not a fan of GIANT BLARING STICKERS ALL OVER THE OUTSIDE! Get with the times, folks, and subtly apply the same stickers but in a little bit darker color than the paint job so they blend in more for better stealth. And big giant pole tables are done as well - LAGUN TABLE THAT SUCKER! They did get it right with the one-panel display - Winnebago's B-line could learn from that one, especially with their Volta system. Since I know a little something about micro-controllers and Nextion programmable LCD displays, I'll be retrofitting a 10.1" Nextion display connected to an Arduino microcontroller to do something similar to the Ethos but inside a Travato.

I like the full bath which you can access from outside, compact yet sufficiently provided, and the sleek luxurious look👍ping

The 3 things I like about this motorhome: 1. the cabinetry 2. the springs under the bed 3. the bike rack placement The 3 things I don't like about this motorhome: 1. you have to move the sink faucet to lift/lower the sink cover 2. the step up 3. the awning: I prefer an armless with wind sensor

Well, Matt... It just so happens I (Lori) AM a rock collector..... 😂❤️

Please keep the class B and the class "C-minus" reviews coming !

You have to do a “BACK STORY’ here , very inspirational, I am so happy for you and your family, if ten percent of our country would work this hard they would be in a better place 👍

Likes: 1. Shower curtain on a track, rather than the snaps. 2. The bathroom doors look nice and like they might not rattle like the metal doors. 3. Dodge, gasoline engine. Dislikes: 1. Would prefer roll-up screen with magnetic closure. 2. No spare tire. 3. (Nope... just 2 dislikes) Our dilemma on any class b is where to put a litter box for #BinxTheCampingCat . Looks like a nice one, overall.

Hi Matt and Andrea! I love that mane Entegra Ethos. It’s a nice class B. I love the cabinets. The stratagem space and the awning. I love Entengra. Thank you Matt and Andrea for showing this class B.

Looks like the National Park edition from Winnebago

Had a tough day in the market, but your video made my day. Thanks for your informative reviews you guys are the best!

Hey you guys are absolutely awesome!!! I greatly appreciate you doing class b’s because I’m seriously considering doing #vanlife and I think I can only afford the maintenance of a class b. I have my wife and disabled mother to consider and before my mother expires from her heart condition she always wished to see the Grand Canyon and Niagara falls and other places in the United States I’m hoping to make her wishes come true. An RV will be for full time living. We could really use a class c but I don’t think I can maintain the maintenance of the class c. I’m a disabled veteran and my benefits are my only salary. Plus I really like the stealthiness. Matter of fact I’m not sure how I could even afford the cheapest model for class b. I can only pray for God to provide. Keep up the absolutely awesome videos. Your energy is really awesome. God bless you Matt and your lovely wife Andrea.

I love that both seats swivel, like the cabinets, like the screen door. Things I don’t like- the sink cover, the weird step that we would fall off, and shower bottom needs more of a lip to contain the water.

In wanting to downsize from our current Class A, we thought the Class B would be the way to go. We liked the entire concept of it, and we'd also have another mode of transportation for everyday use when not vacationing. A friend allowed us the use of their 2020 Travato for 9 days (they were actually selling it and hoped we would buy it); it had every option/upgrade available and was indeed a very nice rig. We stayed at a beautiful campsite with full hookups (did not want to try boondocking for our first adventure in a Class B). 4 days in we were ready to come home and get out of that van. My husband is 6'4", we have 2 dogs and we could not get comfortable. 2 days of solid rain kept us cooped up; we were miserable. Class B's have a huge following and they're in demand but not for us. Another telling sign is the amount of pre-owned Class B's on the market and many in the current year. People buy them and realize they've made a huge and expensive mistake.

The bike rack replay makes me think how funny a blooper reel would be if you ever have spare time!

Love the interior! Especially the cabinets!

Thanks for reviewing this one, Matt and Andrea! Nice job. If we were looking for a B, this would definitely be one to consider!❤️Jane in SC

Where do class b’s get off costing more than class c’s and offering much less? The tenacity!

@scottyh69

3 жыл бұрын

I agree, the price for Class B's is hard to justify when you can get more from a Class C at a lower cost. The driving factor for the high cost of a Class B? The B starts with a complete van body, which is built to automotive standards, which includes crash testing and meets safety standards. Secondly, it's a conversion instead of being mass produced. You're paying for the cost of a van and then paying for the conversion. I like the idea behind a Class B in that it serves as 2nd mode of transportation when not using it as a camper, and can be used as your transportation when vacationing. However, once you're at a camp site and then want/need to get around, you have to pack up and secure everything (a PITA). Ebikes are becoming more and more popular for transportation for the Class B set, hence more of them now come with a large bike rack.

Oh my God, the triple hit to the back of the head! I know that hurt like a mother but that was hilarious! You took it like a pro and kept rolling and no swearing!👍

Super cute! To little for us, we have a 2014 24 ft. Trend that we love. Although I did redecorate it after we bought it used. I added color to the base cabinets, and painted the walls white. Plus, there is no way I'd give up a separate shower for a wet bath!

love it, wanna see other variations of this!!!

she's back, Hallelujah!!!!!

Love that it has a tankless hot water heater, solid counter tops, and the bedding, don't like the plastic toilet , the step in the floor , and the glass over the sink

I think Andrea has found the kitchen countertops higher in alot of the Entegras. I feel relieved that manufacturers copy each other. Hope Entegra copies the technology of sensor type awnings and dinette storage drawers. In this class B I love the large awning that actually becomes a canopy.

Hey matt I really enjoy your videos I enjoy Andrews as well I hope that he takes your challenge seriously and steps it up he’s needs a into. I like your intro. I really enjoy learning about the different models and I hope to have something soon. Anyhow keep up the good work.

Fan club!! Love the cabinets, bath in rear, like the floor plan.

Love the split beds and especially the ability to elevate the head of the bed.

I agree with BryanH on the likes and dislikes, especially the generator. Can’t wait for the day when we purchase our Class C and get the pleasure of meeting you both!

Great video guys. Class B I just can’t warm up to. Just wouldn’t fit my needs. One thing I was surprised was no solar on this. Keep up the good work guys. 👍

Matt, On October 10th I bought an 2022 Entegra Ethos 20T. We just finished a major trip and now have over 3000 miles on it. A few minor design problems, but for the most part an excellent portable hotel room. I averaged 12 to 15 miles per gallon driving through mountains and deserts. I will just add, we made the trip with four little dogs and they loved it too. Thanks for your review.

That looks so open and airy. I love the layout.

Dislikes: 1- generator mounted to the underside of the vehicle? How many times are you going to hit that thing? That is an expensive piece of equipment to be taking major hits. 2- engine. A simple naturally aspirated engine is more durable and reliable. Likes: 1- bathroom design. Very compact and usable. 2- storage along both sides of the van. 3- seatbelts along sofa section.

@annamariethompson116

We're there 3 seatbelts? Yay! That should be standard in my opinion.

These are great reviews. Personable and detailed

Likes 1. Dodge chassis, for a class b I like a gas engine 2. Gasoline generator 3. Bike rack included Dislikes 1. No outside storage( I know it’s a B) 2. Awning needing extra steps to setup 3. Small refrigerator (again I know it’s a b) Overall I’m really impressed by what Entegra has done. Lots of really great features.

Great video guys, but then, they always are (yup, y'all are spoiling us). As for the rig, not a fan. all you need is 3 TV screens on the driver side and it could be a stake-out van from a Detective show. And those are never comfortable. By the same token, I've only seen one Class B that looks even close to comfortable, and that's the Leisure travel van series, which General doesn't carry (you might want to talk to them about it, though).

I am very impressed. Looks great

Matt i just have to say im proud of you and andrea.Dont ever give up

Nice rig, I Love the stove, and convection oven, that awning is huge great colors 😀

Three things I like. Quiet generator, quiet generator, quiet generator! Way past due, but good job Onan and Entegra.

Love this Class b and you guys are great!

Three (3) things I like about this Ethos Class B: (1) I like the higher level kitchen work surface and the cover over the sink which allows attaching the included rack stored inside the sink, (2) I like the step up toward the cockpit area (great for storing pet food dishes), (3) I like the solid pocket doors in the bathroom. I

Hope to see lagun tables in the next model year Ethos.

First like for me is how many enhancements they have added since our mid 80’s Class B. As beautiful as it is I’d be hard pressed to go back to a Class B. Our current coach is a Newmar Dutch Star 3865. The space is perfect for us and our small dog but we started our RV life in a Class B and put over a 100K miles with our camping trips when our boys were still small so this would be a great option for weekenders for sure. Second favorite thing for me are the higher counters. And finally it’s the integrated Generator with option for Solar. Perfect for boondocking trips.

Love you guys!!! Thank you for including Class B's. 3 likes: It's a Ram, Both seats swivel, the large sitting area with those bed springs. Dislikes: Wish it felt cozier, the shower at the back, the wardrobe in the shower.

Love the bike rack

Love this

I think there’s a step into the cockpit area in case the water gets out of control in the shower. The sliding door should be watertight, rather than having a shower curtain in that tight of an area. I like that the bathroom is at the back so it can dry out easier, and keeps dirty shoes from going inside the unit to use the bathroom. I agree with Matt the lid on the sink is stupid, and I’d probably take it off and keep it in a lower drawer. It was a cute RV, and it would be great for weekend trips.

Matt and Andrea, major kudos for the gracious way you turned interruptions into customer cameos! You were showing a class B coach but showed them 1st class treatment. Very nice! Quick heads up on this Ram Promaster chassis: That storage area above the cab has a reputation for getting really hot in the sun - so hot it's known as "the pizza oven!" I understand the heat can damage some items, so be careful what you store there if you park in the sun. Three Likes: 1) Quiet generator. 2) Decent fresh H2O capacity. 3) Bike rack that doesn't give Matt a concussion! :^D Three Dislikes: 1) 6:13 Too many holes in the side of the van, would prefer water connections grouped under a lockable or concealed cover. 2) That table - where do you store it when not using it, and how do you move around when you do? A Lagun mount would have been more impressive for this price. 3) That kitchen sink with the attached cover.

love it! like the cabinets, counter tops, twin beds. don't like wet bath,

Though there doesn't seem to be much love for Thor, I am looking forward to B vans that will be manufactured by Hymer USA using all Euro automation process.

Matt I love the Entegra Ethos 20T except for 3 things. The first thing I dislike about the Ethos 20T is ,the micro refrigerator. KZreadrs James and Stephanie of The Fit RV have an older winnebago Travato called Lance and it has a bigger refrigerator than the Ethos 20 T and so does the 2020 Thor Sequence RV Class "B" RV's. What is with the micro refrigerators they can't hold more than maybe 2 days worth of milk, eggs, butter, and fresh veggies for salads. So you have to break camp every 2 days to get more fresh food. Not fun . I prefer the bigger refrigerator, like The Fit RV Travato has or the Thor Sequence that way I can go out camping longer than 1 or 2 days at a time which the 20T's micro refrigerator only allows u to do. The second thing I dislike about the Ethos is , the microwave placement. Why does almost all class "B" and "B+" Rv's , with the exception of Advanced RV class "B" Rvs put the confection microwave/ regular microwave oven down so low? I may be only 5'5" but I don't like having to bend so low to get my food out of the microwave oven. I'd gladly give up a couple of upper cabinets for a microwave oven placed at eye or slightly above eye level. The third thing I dislike about the Ethos is , the wood storage/ wardrobe closet canbinet in the wet bath. I don't mind the wardrobe closet and drawers in the wet bath but it should be an all plastic/ fiberglass wetbath because even with a shower curtain protecting the wood eventually the moisture is going to cause mold, mildew and delamination of the wood storage/wardrobe closet and drawers. That's it that is my 3 main dislikes about the Ethos 20T. Oh I have one more. Number 4 dislike about the Ethos 20T is that while other class "B" RV brands are now using the armless awning system with wind sensors, Entegra is still using old awning setup. Well, now that truly is all I have say about the Ethos 20T . Some will like it , some will love it and some will dislike it. If it weren't for those 4 dislikes, i would like it. Maybe in the next generation of Ethos.

Rip & Duplicate 😂 They should have looked at that other brand and duplicated the front table post and Lagun table in between the twin beds!

Too small, but it is a start for Entegra to build on. Edit: Dislikes: 1) The generator seems to be in a hand to reach area. That would be hard for maintenance 2) plastic toilet, womp womp. The bathroom seems fairly functional though 3) the attached sink cover is in the way and clunky Love: 1) Love having a full length awning on a Class B. The legs seem weird in the video, but I love having the legs on an awning 2) The kitchen is well designed given the size of the RV 3) Love the modern color choices inside and out

I think the black nob deal Andrea was playing with behind the sink is supposed to hold up the sink cover.

I love this Class B

The generator looked low to the ground but it could have been the camera angle. Love the finishes and cabinetry. Not a huge fan of wet baths but it is a class b.

I really like the look of this with the euro cabinets, bed coverings, counter, etc. and the screen and awning are nice. We have a Dodge Caravan (our 2nd one) and we love Dodge durability and mileage. I can't see the front end, either, and I've gotten used to it. The bike rack is awesome. I dislike the snap curtains but I guess they are to be expected? The sink top is funky, maybe it can be removed? Where does the table store?

So iv already ordered do I get to use Matt Money still 🤗
