Good to see you both doing reviews.... I like the idea that you are not "beholding" to one dealer, rather give a more unbiased review.

A couple years back another RV couple did a video about Lithium batteries. They said that they need to be in the heated and air conditioned area.
I believe the bed width is about 72 inches. By 80 inches. Huge, for a bed. Plus, the seats are so comfortable that maybe a four inch cushion could be added, for sleeping. A hallway night light near the floor could be added, by the bathroom. Without turning lights on, while people sleep. The counter space is good, when a few more guests are over for food or drinks. People don't mind standing, for a little bit. Sort of like the rare island counter top and sink, in the middle of a trailer. For food and plates Except, it's at the side. Maybe have some led lights underneath the cabinetry, near the back. This way it doesn't always have to be from the ceiling
It’s gorgeous and for a class B pretty amazing. Can’t believe it got the 3P’s! So much storage and room but then again for a very select group of people.
Love it that you are giving details of the electrical system. That is a big improvement on your Class B review videos!
Those Lithium Batteries are going to freeze during the winter and will not hold charge.
Exposed Lithium batteries are useless in colder climates. Would have been nice to see the eating area, perhaps in the back?

Number 2 was prime pooping position. Perfect
You know when I suggested this class B A few weeks ago (except I asked for four-seater) I wanted to get a good review and honest review and I even said I wanted to know how that bathroom was for doing your business because I have a similar frame to Matt... Not only did you guys find the RV so quickly Matt even said it's a PPP... This one is a definite winner...THANK YOU!!!
If these are lithium batteries, why are they not contained inside/heated for the money. Otherwise, beautiful workmanship.

Exactly. The batteries being exposed could limit cold weather use of the coach. Also, what is up w/ the glass door that you can quasi see through for the bathroom? Blah!
@billwellford376

Lithium batteries maintain optimal performance between 50⁰F to 104⁰F. If you're outside of that range you will start to experience reduced capabilities in charging and performance. A charge controller can be used to prevent the batteries from attempting to recharge if the ambient temperature makes it unsafe to do so. This is why Lithium batteries should always be enclosed in a temperature controlled environment for best results and optimal usage.

The Dragonfly system shown in the video uses Battle Born batteries which are now designed to be useable in cold weather. They have a feature to warm them up in cold weather when they need to be charged.
I don’t like those batteries being exposed to the elements and under the van

I agree about the exposed part, but if they added a 1/8th inch metal box around them I don't see why they couldn't stay where that are. Would need to vent them and add a heating pad for snow.
Maybe add right and left side on/off led reading lights, in the back. So, people can read, when the bed is down. Put cushions or pillows While the other side lights are off. The other person can sleep, if the want.
In colder weather, some vans have a lirhium battery compartment. With a preset temperature, around the batteries, to keep them working properly. Lithium batteries work best, when they aren't freezing. A preset temperature, about 42 degrees seems to work
Hi Matt and Andrea! My dislikes are it’s dark in there needs more lights and the sliding door opens up just so far. Other than that love everything else about this motorhome. The color I love it on the outside. Love the storage and the bathroom with the three Ps. This is a very nice Rv. Thank you Matt and Andrea abs Rv One of Tampa!
Definitely some high spots with this one. I wish you folks would provide the bed length (in inches) for us taller folks who can struggle with Class B beds. Thanks!

The Airstream 24X has the longest bed option I’ve seen with it being over 80” long in twin bed conversion or making a full king bed if combined. It’s definitely the longest bed option I’ve seen.
Nice Class B…love the push button operation for most things in the coach. Two things I dislike about coach are there’s no outside storage AND the MSRP is entirely too much. I don’t believe that it’s worth $200,000 even with the luxury additions.

Any thing I would say abouts how great this class B is would be preaching to the choir. Beautiful...just beautiful! Great review y'all and stay safe and awesome.
I’m loving how you can now show lots more RV’s. Hi Andrea! So glad you’re back. You two are great together. Dislikes: 1. At that price point, it should have a climate controlled, four season lithium battery system. 2. It’s a rich look, but too dark. 3. Well, I really don’t have a third because it’s such an awesome Class B. Likes: 1. I love the screens front and back. 2. Love that it’s all electric. 3. It really has all the features you’d need and want in a Class B: Driving bells and whistles, lots of storage, a closet, love the door to the bathroom and the bathroom itself is great, that kitchen, and the sofa/bed is big enough. Anyway, it’s a fantastic Class B. Happy travels!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Love this ... thanks for sharing! 💕
Wow guys this rig is absolutely beautiful!! 💯 great job guys, I agree with everything you said about the likes and dislikes! It was hard to think of even one dislike so I'm gonna say it's just too small of a rig for what my fam would need, if I was solo, hells yeah!! I'm gonna say, since I like everything about it, my absolute favorite thing is the bathroom! They took a lot of time and engineering to make it work! I mean, you can eat almost anywhere, sleep as well, but when it comes to showering and pooping on the road, you need a comfortable, secure spot!!! Well done 👏! Love to you guys 🥰

If it's freezing temperature, Lithium batteries usually don't work. So, making a lithium battery compartment and adding a preset temperature module. For anything above 40, degrees seems to keep the batteries working. Otherwise, freezing weather is no good for those batteries

Don’t worry about safety….. The Catalytic converter thieves will just switch to stealing battery packs ….
Love you can leave animals in RV and have a/c going without hookups. I like a dry bath but if they took sink out this could be a decent size shower with toilet on other side of curtain.
Enjoyed the review! You still have the most thorough information without trying to actually sell the rig at the same time! Fantastic! Agree with it being too dark inside. I would like to have y’all tell us the clearance on the C’s and B’s please!!! Thanks!
Luuuv the van color, no propane, great storage..the interior decor is beautiful!! 👍😀
What a nice RV company to let This great honest review team show us this beautiful class B!
3ps in a class B? Amazing! Very nice class B, but didn’t see any gold at that price! 😂 Fantastic review Matt and Andrea!
The only thing I’ve seen you review so far is class b’s sense you went on you own.
Awesome unit! I can definitely go boondocking in this unit, thanks for sharing 😊🙌🙏.
Beautiful Coach Gang . The exterior color is Boffo . The Bath was a surprise as to the PPP !!! Wow . Love it Keep up the Great work Andrea / Matt . Thank you .
So glad you went independent. Not a fan of class B’s but this one could change my mind.
Thanks Matt and Andrea. This is absolutely beautiful. Very difficult to think of any dislikes. I wonder how often the batteries would need to be changed
I don’t think the color would be or qualify for a dislike. Your review is more how it’s built and how it’s is used.
It would be cheap to do so I wish the RV manufacturers would put lights in the storage compartments. Once you open those cabinet doors you can’t see a thing in there. For less than $10 per cabinet they could put in led lights that come on when you open the cabinet door. And for those who will complain that the lights will wake up someone when you open them at night they could do red/white lights
Just beautiful….. now I just have to win the lottery!
Love It!!!!!❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for the tour and review.😃
I’m so glad I ran across your video/channel. I was set on an Airstream Interstate GL, but this is really nice as well.
The exposed batteries are a very big concern both for exposure to temps and damage from road debris.

And extremely costly to repair/replace. Horrible placement and it’s not a question of “if” this will be a problem; it’s “when” it becomes a problem.
Basically I like BUT I not a fan of Mercedes, screen being fixed and batteries being exposed. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻❤
Even for a wet bath there is plenty of room in there and plenty of room and storage in the kitchen. I also like that the outside water connections are in a compartment. Not a fan of the reclining couch to bed. And the price is out of my range. As someone else said, I would have concerns with the batteries being exposed like they are.
I love the ground effects on this van. It makes it have that sporty look. I love the outside color. 😍 I love the European style cabinetry. I love the bathroom. I only have one dislike and that is the dark color of of the counter. I would have went with a blue to match the outside color. Great job with this van. 👏
It's a beautiful class B. I love that it's all electric, induction cooktop, and storage space. I dislike the super high gloss, dark cabinetry, one burner cooktop, and lack of a decent eating area.
Best Class B I’ve ever seen! This is gorgeous!
I love the dark interior…
Hey Matt and Andrea, thanks for the review! I do like this one especially the outside color. I wish the interior was lighter and I'm not crazy about the sofa to bed conversion. Put a drop down bed in back and a lower price and I might be interested! Keep on keepin' on!
Beautiful interior. You guys are such a great team
@209,000!!!!! That is insane. This is a conversion van with a potty. You could buy a great class A and pull a minivan with it for less.
I love 1) the exterior solid color 2) the bathroom 3)the power coach bed 4) air conditioner runing on solar power I don't like 1) the dark wooden interior, use white, blue, teal make it look like a beach cottage 2) price is high 3)the screen door needs to be sturdy for pets inside
1. I love the name American Coach Patiot! 2. Love that power sofa that can double as a recliner with seat belts. 3. Rear view camera. 4. Love the bathroom with a sink. Dislikes 1. The screen on the slider. Too enclosing. 2. Yes too dark inside. 3. The Price. Ouch! I still love my 2017 Midwest Automotive Designs Weekender MD4! They are the best!
Love it! Excellent review, as usual!
I love this personally and I like the dark interior, too. I love that it doesn't use propane, that makes it a double winner for me.
Can you please review the Phoenix cruiser...there are many models and floor plans...I think your best chance will be the Hershey show....thanks..

Great review!
I love this van, it’s awesome and it is perfect for 2 people. I would love to own it. It’s my favorite one ever.
I love this! I'm so excited you get to review all these new and different RV's and motorhomes. Yay for Matt's RV Reviews! The 4 if you have taught me so much about rvs and fueled my love and interest in them. Thank you so much.
Thank you RV1
Beautiful rig, and great craftsmanship. I bet it would look even better and a bit more open with a lighter interior. Off white cabinets, a light gray bleached wood floor, and a white granite countertop would make a huge difference.
That bathroom glass door is inappropriate 😆 when you have guests on board. I just noticed Airstream has a better screen door. It folds like a fan so it opens all the way not blocking the entrance halfway. Blinds also are automatic.
I like the all electric, the screen doors, and the bathroom. I dislike the quilted fabrics, the dark cabinets (as y'all said) and that's it! Wonderful pricey unit perfect for 1 or 2. BTW, my 2018 Dodge Caravan has those pull the handle/push button doors.
I love this YOU Tube channel! You two are a great team!

I could never buy that coach as much as I love it with those batteries like that and the salty roads here in Canada in the fall and spring and winter whatever what were they thinking oh I guess only for Florida or California
you guys are so awesome! So glad you stepped out on your own and on your faith. I'd love to see SNL do a spoof on you guys. My family loves you and we are going to make a decision really soon and we want you guys to be our people to make it happen. Keep your frequency high. You , Andrea and your partners are the best hands down. By the way we live in the bay area and are SF Giants Fans. LOL
I just want that screen door for my Era 70a 😁
I'm impressed with the bed and bathroom area. Very nice Class B
Love That It Is All Electric!!!!
I COULD REALLY LIVE IN THIS DURING WORK. TRAVEL Nurse.
wow thats a super super great van i love thats its all 12v operated no lp and it seats 7 for a family outing with the family.
You should go to the American Coach factory for a tour. They are very impressive in their manufacturing!
Truly elegant. Excellent design.
Love the review!!!! As a bigger person it helps me know bathroom size and how easy it is to get around inside with two people. I also disliked that the screen make the door opening smaller. I would give this class B a one as a half thumbs
Color coordinated with Andrea’s outfit. Matt was able to open the fuel door on a class B. No bike rack to knock Matt’s noggin. Don’t like the glass door for the prime pooping area. Don’t like awning on class B. Not sure about the fold up hanging handles. They became a five minute mission to fold down. Thank you for sharing sharing and have a great day. #vanlife

Would like to see this vs the Airstream Interstate
As a homeless man after exposing drug business,I should need it with armored body and outstading lock system without propane.
It’s not always sunny. I guess it’s good if you like to boondock in the desert. 😅 I couldn’t fathom spending that kind of money on something like this. Unless of course I have a hefty 7-8 digit bank account or more. It is nice though. More power to those that can afford it .
Please review the Leisure Travel Van Wonder Front Twin Bed.
Will you ever give your opinion on buying new vs buying a used RV? I am still driving my 2001 40ft Monaco Diplomat with 135,000 miles on it. I would not hesitate to start a trip from here in MI to Alaska tomorrow. Why? Because I have maintained it, and had "everything" under the floor replaced by Cummins in 2018. Then took a long trip in 2019 before Covid.... and just came back from a 23 day trip here in MI. Please make a "new vs used" vlog.
A beautiful class B. Thanks Andrea and Matt!

great job guys! In general, how long will the batteries last. One dislike, price, Less us more. Is it possible to get 40+ percent discount by chance?
This is my favorite! I love the interior color. Definitely my style
Really is the most beautifully built class b. Agree it needs lighter colors on the interior, but man, that rig rocks!

REALLY nice.
This is one of the best class b I've ever seen.
Beautiful class b, however, I won't even consider buying something without knowing the CCC.
Yay! Andrea is back! I have wanted a Class B for short trips. I wish some company would give us a bed we could put up front for a visitor even if it was a blow up mattress HINT HINT lol
Fancy smancy! And I love the color too. Great for the environment, but not so great on the Bank account!
