Bob & Hillary, Thank you so much for taking the time to video review our newest pride and joy, "Critter the Campground Kryptonite". A perfect scrappy cross between a racoon, armadillo and oposum. He can get out further and stay longer than your lesser equipted critters. This is our 6th RV in about 10 years. Two Class A's, one Class C, one Class B, and a towable before this. For us, we finally hit the sweet spot, considering our specific needs. This video of yours was so much fun for us to watch. I'm sure most people don't know you spent almost 3 hours shotting and something like 30+ hours editing just one video like this. My videos take the exact amount of minutes to shoot as you see in the finished product, and I have never spent even 1 minute editing. Partly because I don't know how, and partly because you just took away any incentive I might have had to learn. I'm going to go back and watch this again now. Thank you, and we hope to see you again soon. Rick & Sherri.

Great RV. In a rig this small and nimble there are always sacrifices. Only questions are there any issues with exhausting steam from the shower since the fan is in the water closet or does the fan in the dining area take care of that? Also do you use the over dinette storage for wardrobe or are you keeping your clothes somewhere else like below the bed or in the bathroom?

Great tour! We bought this same RV in August 2022 (2023 model). Over 20k miles of travel in all seasons. Absolutely our favorite RV we have owned. No regrets. The extra room in the B+ is well worth and is not that much larger than the B’s. We cruise with our 100lb lab as well. Garage works perfect for dog house. Thanks for sharing.

First thing I noticed was the bull artwork. My wife did a very similar style but with an elephant. I had never seen anyone else with a similar style piece of art. 👍. My wife and I watch quite a few different reviews and this as a lifestyle. It was always our plan for RV Life until health issues took us down a different road unfortunately and finances had to go elsewhere. We can still live vicariously through everyone else’s stories. We love them all.

I'm not a huge factory-made RV guy, but this Cross Trail is very tempting and this is the best video showcasing it. Not too big, lots of features, great floorplan, a chassis I trust and that can be serviced in any town, and capable of off-grid for a decent amount of time. The owners have also kitted it out perfectly. Like the added solar, the additional TV, and the way they set up the garage.

The crosstrek and crosstrail have been out for a while and was my first choice. It was parking space on the side of my home was the deciding factor as space was limited. We ended up getting a 23 winnebago travato 59k instead that fits perfectly. We really do love the b+ models though

Great rig and I love everything about it with one exception.....the configuration of the bed. Having to crawl over each other to get up in the middle of the night to use the rest room is a deal breaker for us. Now if they can come up with a twin bed version of this, I'd be seriously thinking about it. Great video, great tour of a great RV. See ya next week!

This model was high on our list for going with a class B+, especially with the 2024 upgrades including the 12-volt fridgerator (LOL), induction cook top and convection microwave as well as the renogy battery system. The major issues for us were the east/west configuration of the bed and that it is not a true 4-season rv. We wound up going with the Winnebago Ekko, and of course, we paid a bunch more, but we prefered the twin bed set-up, smaller size, the thicker side walls w/ fiberglass roof, and the 4-season capability. So it all comes down to what y'all want and willing to trade-off. But real issue here is - WHEN IS MR. LEMON GOING TO GO!!

Glad you enjoyed it

$136,000 seems a little bit on the high side. It does appear to be a nice RV though. I would believe the value to be closer to a low of $89,000, to a high of about $129,000. Manufacturers are doing everything they can to try to drive up the MSRPs. Also, 12 mi per gallon approximate, it's a little bit concerning. However, to be fair, this is pretty typical for recreational vehicles. Manufacturers really need to consider putting in hybrid engines, because this could raise fuel economy up to 25%. Plug-in hybrids would even be better. They could also put heat extension/diffusion fins on the engine to allow quicker heat transfer away from the motor, increasing fuel economy at tiny bit by lowering the engine temperature and also creating a semi air-cooled engine. Think about the old air-cooled VW motors. In other words make a modern version of the VW motor. RV technology really needs to improve, especially in areas of quality and fuel economy.

I'd like it better with 2 beds in the back, but love the camper in general

Very nice Rv and I love the picture Inside the bedroom cool😀

She did an amazing job with the organization. What a pro! Love how the bed can move up and down to allow access to the underbed storage. Great video. I would definately consider another Coachman.

Hi Mathers! I am happy to report Critter (and its AWD) is amazing in snow and ice. We have plowed through 11" of fresh snow on the road almost like it wasn't even there. Also very steady over icy mountain passes with solid footing. You do have 5 different settings for the AWD that you change on the big screen at any time. We mainly use Eco, Mud & Rut and Snow & Ice. We do plan to get down to Galviston, TX soon to see how it does on the beach. The coach came equiped from the factory with all but the additional 2 solar panels we added to the roof just before the Vancaskies shot their video. We paid $400 for the extra 400 watts up there, and it made a big difference. For us having 2 huge 400 amp hours of lithium was the game changer. The second dedicated altinator was important to us as well. The generator was an option it turns out we don't really need, but it is nice to have if we just don't want to move for a couple of weeks and there is little sun. If you didn't have it, you still have the option to idle the engine to charge batteries.

Great job....Great video.

We have owned both and traveled extensively in both. No issues with either regarding parking and driving comfort. I would say the Ford Transit is far more comfortable to drive than the Dodge Promaster for me. The Coachmen B+ is 24' long but I really don't find it any more challenging than the B Class we had before. The big difference is the interior space. I actually knew one owner who had 2 dogs and made the "garage" below the bed a high end kennel for his little traveling buddies.

Great tour, but did you miss some storage next to the WC? It looked like maybe a pantry or wardrobe was there.

You missed the pantry next to the bathroom and does the under-sink cabinet go through to behind the grill outside? Sort of a pass-through from inside to outside.

We are looking forward to warmer weather so we can really run the the AC. It is situated just a little forward of center but you can direct the airflow with 4 vents. The ceiling fans should keep the air cerculating as well. A big selling factor for us was the ability to run the AC off the house batteries. It will be interesting to see what kind of draw it has compaired to the stovetop or microwave for example.

Great review, the lack of a fantastic fan, porcelain toilet, shallow kitchen sink and not flush mounted AC are certainly drawbacks to the unit. BUT, it’s a great class B+. I currently have a View class C and Travato class B and would sell both to replace it with that B+

Great observation. We actually carry 3 blackout systems. The first came with the RV and is a large one piece cover that wraps around the outside and covers all cab windows. This is great if you are expecting snow. Take it off and you are left with a clean windshield and side windows. The second is custom fitted and insulated single window covers that go on the inside. This is good for cold weather as it also provides insulation. The third is what we use most of the time in mild weather. The blackout curtain that takes about 2 seconds to close or open.

Nice looking rig but here are a few reasons why it wouldn't work for me: 1) I do not like the outside storage/garage to be part of my inside living area, especially my bed. I can see wind bringing sand, rain and all kinds of stuff inside when I open the garage. 2) I prepare all my meals, and would have to split the few cabinets it has over the dinette between my clothes and food storage. 3) The sink is too small and shallow to be practical when you cook all your meals. 4) I boondock and like to bring plenty of food and so it would not work with having such a small freezer. 5) I wonder if the a/c would be sufficient to reach the bed area because I can't be hot when sleeping. So, if I had to chose a similar rig, the Ekko would be my choice, especially the new one on the MB chassis.

That's the great thing about people and RV's. The come in all kinds of shape and sizes. One size never fits all quite right. Regarding the outside (inside) storage. The nice thing with this set up is you don't have to go outside in bad weather to access your storage. We have never had the wind blow anything in "the garage". We also prepare all our meals and as great as I believe the video is, Bob & Hillary did miss the floor to ceiling pantry and didn't really show how big the wardrobe closet is in the bathroom. The sink is way too small! The good news is we found the perfect replacement at Lowes and will be installing it this week. What was Coachmen thinking? The freezer is also small and the option there would be to add a second unit in the garage space. I have seen that done in a couple of videos. We wonder the same thing about the AC but it hasn't warmed up enough to use it. The little ceiling fan we added is great and cost $16 on Amazon.

Great video! You are really getting professional at these reviews. And Coachman is SO much better than Thor. It would make us all so happy if you got into something other than Thor! You deserve it. If they really paid 136k that js a deal.. how can that include 800w of solar and 800 AH of lithium? Wow.

So far we couldn't be happier with the build quality by Coachmen. As we are not new to the RV game, we expected issues along the way but so far, almost none. In 2022 we bought a new Thor Sequence. The day I picked it up from the dealer the plumbing leaked water all over the interior. That wasn't even the worst day. Getting help from either the dealer or Thor was like pulling healthy teeth. We did do a video on all the MOD's we preformed on Critter so far. On power, the only thing we did was add 2 more (200 watt) panels to the roof for a cost of $400. It came with everything else.

Nice van! Really love the power bank and the size of the water tanks. However, for a B+ size, it really feels small and a bit cramped inside. The kitchen is way too small. I’ve seen much larger kitchens in a regular class B. Everything else I can appreciate.

I love this but being in the south I really need ducted a/c. I love the blue counters so much I’m going to change the counters on mine.

I am a veteran but not of that community. My uncle is. I definitely supported them.

Thank you for picking up the Sword!

This is a fantastic RV. I can definitely seemy self in this RV. Except would delete the propane.

Okay you guys have to inhale every now and again. God Bob you actually got Hillary all worked up you rock. Nice to see you guys so excited. Really nice B+. That little more room does make a big difference. Do you think you could camp in the same locations as a regular B or would you have to go to camp sites? PS. Hillary. Bob needs some pointy toed cowboy boots in some really cool hide.

Thats my favorite

Holy cow! I want that rig!

What is the construction of the actual camper - is it wood frame and fiberglass? I can't seem to find that on the Coachmen website.

I couldn't tell you what all the materials used are but the outer shell is fiberglass and there is a lot of steel and aluminum framing. I would love to see the production process and get some detailed specs on this. It would make some of our MODs easier. A wiring & plumbing diagram would be nice to have as well. We bought a new 2020 Tiffin Wayfarer and were able to get all of that and a great video of our unit being built step by step. After we picked it up from the dealer we went to the factory in Alabama (not far from the Class A factory) and watched others being built. This was just before Thor bought Tiffin.

Stick and tin seems scary. Think of Mr Lemons cabinet issues in your walls and ceiling 😢. ❤your channel!

I was wondering what the wall and ceiling construction consists of myself.

You are 100% accurate on the fans. No offense but those are junk, they don’t move any air, I know from experience. Go max fan for sure. 👍🏼 Great review

We have replace 2 of the 3 fans (90 minutes and $200 each) with max air fans. Side by side the little ones are simply junk. They look bad, are loud and don't move much air.
