The design they had last year with the 24 SX theater seating, compact dinnette and rear bedroom would still be in demand.

I love Andrea being more and more involved & present in your videos, you guys are a solid team!

Wow.................this is a great option as I am a future solo driver with disabilities and really feel that not only can I go anywhere with the 4 wheel drive but I can handle set up by myself. Very awesome...............now if I can get one of these manufacturers to give me one it would be perfect!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep the B+ video’s coming Matt and Andrea! Looking to get into the market in 2 yrs and I’m relying on your unbiased reviews to find my dream RV. Thanks guys!

I like that it does not have the above cab bunk. This allowed the front to have an open look with a limited amount of storage in the wrap around area. I love the big window. The bed was nice to include the storage under and around the bed. The one piece mattress is a plus. It needs an extension for the kitchen. I agree that the table should have been theater seats and a small table or flip up trays. The TV is a mess and I don't have an idea for correcting the mistake. This is a nice small unit for one person or a couple. Shout out to Matt for the mention of the upgraded air conditioner. I live in Georgia and we get the high heat just like Florida.

I'd rather have a small sofa. Then it would have been good to give the TV a swing arm.

Good morning everyone! I must say, that I am thoroughly impressed by this RV. The size of it would be perfect for inner city boondocking or living in fulltime while still having to go into the office. This is my first like. The AWD is my second like. And the skylight is my 3rd like..imagine having that open on a clear, moonlit night...amazing!! I do not have any dislikes at this time. Thank you Matt and Andrea!

Coming down that roof ladder was one small step for man; one giant leap for Matt

Love watching your reviews, Matt and Andrea. You bring a smile to my face every time!

I love watching your KZread videos of the RVs and trailers. You go over most stuff about them and show a lot of features. Always Happy, thanks.

Thanks so much Laura:)

This is the first class b motorhome that I like the looks of. I would rather have a couch in place of the dinette though. A couch with a couple fold out table/trays and then the tv viewing angle is is fixed

Love your reviews. Much more real. Not just a sales review. Thanks.

Agree LOVE natural light up front.

It's great to see Andrea back! I agree with another comment from Tony Smith. I would rather have the theater seating with a TV tray to eat on and see the TV in comfort. Love the cabinetry and like Andrea, I'd like to see it in more of the larger Thor motorhomes; heck any other motorhomes. And you're right Matt, much better than a class B. Look at the closet space, queen size bed, love the front upper window. Great job once again my favorite KZread RV reviewers.

C rated tires usually mean higher load. 3 things I love: I'm amazed at how big that slide out is, on a Class B (+), Love the instant on hotwater heater for that small of a unit, love the large dining area (for a Class B that's huge). 3 things I'm not happy about are: take out that top open space above the fridge and put a bigger fridge, not sure about those booster seats for the front seats, the bed is what it is, it's pretty necessary for something so small, but still not sure about it. Once you said it had a 15,000 BTU AC, I understood why it had a 4K generator. For it's size, it's about the most perfect B (+) I've ever seen.

I love the stairs the railing coming in to the RV THE WHOLE EXTENSION AREA AND THE EASY STEERING WHEELWHEEL

Hi you two I love your channel and you go out of your way to show us everything. 3 things I like; 1) color inside 2) Easy to drive 3) awning except you have to hold button down. 3 thing's I don't like; 1) V6 not enough power 2) bathroom 3) slides See you on the next video thank you.

I've been watching your videos for a couple of months now and I can't thank you enough for all of the wonderful and HONEST information you provide. In a few months we are selling the house and moving to an RV full time! I have never even driven one before but you have helped me figure out exactly what I need/want for my new home

Hey Matt great review. My daughter just thinks your the cutest and loves your jumping in the air👍😃

Love this guys energy. Customer service to the max

Honestly in love with this motorhome!

Love this over the Bs! Likes: small enough to park easily, fairly roomy, nice layout; Dislikes: plastic toilet and pedestal, no counter extender, small fridge, but overall, I really like this one and would consider it if I had the money! Very cute!

Likes: 1) No bunk over the cab for exactly the reasons Matt said. I'm someone who wants that small motor home and have no need for the bunk, so I prefer the sleek look, less overhang, and hopefully lower price from not building a bunk to hold 500+ lbs. 2) Front window/windshield/skylight. I love the amount of light coming in. 3) AWD. I'd rather a 4x4 with more clearance and a low gear or something for low speeds during low traction dirt/mud/snow situations, but as a Subaru owner for over 20 years, I love my AWD. Dislikes: 1) TV location. As Andrea said, maybe a swing arm would help, or maybe a sofa with removable table instead of the dinette, but as is, it doesn't work for me. 2) The bedroom. I'm a fan of this size motor home, so I get having to use space the best way possible, but something about it felt like an afterthought, like having to fold the bed to get to the storage in the back to get dressed or whatever. Not a fan. 3) No "retail price" at the BING, and the Fleetwood Fortis thing popping up at @13:47. I get the feeling this video may come down and get re-posted, so I'm saving my list this time! 😋 Bonus) It's not the 23TE. I know, that's not fair, but a Murphy Bed is perfect for me, and I really want to see that one.

Matt and Andrea. you guys are the best. Good price. Awesome 👏

take out the sofa and replace with a couch or twin seats so that you are facing the TV and can recline and have a removable table if needed. like the color of the cabinets.

Hey Matt m Andrea, love the show(s). Regarding this motorhome, if the bed was a Murphy bed with two recliners, this would be absofrinkenlootly amazing. It would give you an additional sitting area to relax and watch TV.

Love that it’s a Ford, AWD, and EcoBoost and back up camera.

Matt, you’re fun to watch! Love your reviews.

Love the motor home. The one thing I don’t like is anytime you HAVE to use the slide out. In this one it’s impossible to sleep without using the slide. Looking for something like this but wish there was a design where you didn’t have to use the slide. PS. You two are great!

Agree with placement of TV

After owning it for a week I like the ride, kitchen, and bath. Accessing the bed on left side requires a climb on the mattress. Manual leaves a bit to the imagination. Avowed the frigo is a storage compartment with 2 HDMI cables for hooking up whatever to the two TVs. Valves for dumping black and gray are a long reach. Lots of outside storage. So far no problems. We are enjoying it.

Turn signal cameras are absolute necessity on every model!

Hello all. Our likes: * Ford chassis - always a good choice. * Even though a folding bed isn’t a favorite, it’s not bad in this motor home. It’s nice to have an queen bed in this small of a unit. * The bathroom is decent for the size of the vehicle. Our dislikes: * We do not like that there is no way to block off the cockpit windows when dining or sleeping. Peeping toms are NEVER a good thing. Blinds or a curtain to close off that area would be better. * We don’t like the exposed wiring in one of the outside storage compartments (driver’s side). Those could be easily stretched and/or damaged and should be enclosed in some manner. * With the minimal storage in the galley area, a cutting board sink cover would be much better. It’s one less kitchen item to pack and store.

Love this guy he loves what he does and it shows!!!

I like the bathroom and shower and bed layout

Nice vehicle overall. Perfect for a single person or retired couple. I wonder if a nice couch would be more practical than the dinette? Maybe not. I really like it. Looking forward to the sale price.

Sale price was in invisible ink. Lol. Love the videos.

I love this one!! Likes - the bathroom with the separate shower!! the awning with lights!! the slide-out!!! dislikes - plastic commode, color scheme, shower curtain.

I appreciate Andrea always give the cargo capacity!

Really like this motorhome. We are in the market for a class C Super but always look at all the reviews. Likes: 1, the floor layout, 2, the ford Eco boost and AWD, 3, the window over the cab. Dislikes: 1, the area above the cab doesn't have much practicality, could have made some better storage area. 2, the plastic toilet seat, for the towing capacity a porcelain bowl could have been fine. 3, the propane hook up at the passenger side rear looks prime for tearing it off when backing into a spot. Overall it is a really nice looking RV.

You can run a gas fridge for weeks on half a tank of propane. (While traveling run it on 120v from your inverter, it won't kill your battery if you forget to switch it to gas when you stop.) The compressor driven fridges OTOh will need steady sunlight or running a generator or your engine every few days.

Agree with Andrea with shower.

Looks nice guys, thanks!

I like the look the drivers area and the comfort of the drive. Also the fact it has solar on the roof It still has the same flaw that all class B's have no storage . would have liked to have seen more of the small piece over the cab The better gas mileage and the fact that it is a Ford make cost of ownership less. There may be a way to augment the storage

Oh my God I love this guy, I'm digging his energy

Super helpful that you showed what it looked like when the slide out was in. It would be even more helpful to see the ability to sleep with it in. Sometimes when you have to stop and nap in a parking lot you can't extend the slide out. So the sleep ability of the dining space and the space above the driving area is important to some.

You forgot to insert the MAP “sale” price in the video...

I really like this RV. The price will probably be under $100k, which is great. Dry bath is awesome in an RV that size. The TV needs to come out and swivel. That could probably be done yourself. My biggest dislike is the horrific outside color. Why can’t you get like a solid color, like silver.

Another great video Like - no bunk over cab,bathroom,space saver bed design, solar Dis- (free design tip )design a sink cover that slides into a notch to extend counter

Right off the bat I love the the coler and desighn

I saw this RV for the first time while me and wifey were traveling on 301 to Annapolis Md. I wanted to get as close as I could to check it out. I finally caught up with him on the passenger side at a red light. We had just enough time to go back and forth with each other and he was very informative in that short period of time. My wife, being the observant person she is, immediately notice the side door and she said it look too narrow! But she saw Matt go through it on this video today, and she was like: Oh ok! I'll make it! (LOL). But this one's definitely on the list!

I will drive cross country to buy an RV from you guys cause you're so awesome.

I love the slide that comes out without a person having to hold the button and that it will go in with the wind sensor. I also like the seats that swivel, the modern cabinets, and the sun roof. I do not like that the bed has to have the slide out in order to use it- not always convenient to put slide out when you're traveling.

@GregSpeck

3 жыл бұрын

you still have to hold the button down when moving the slide. It is a safety feature.. Not the end of the world. Agree about the need to slide to use bed, pain in the rear. But so far we are surviging. I do like the lighting, frig with auto settjngs for. power and the Ford power plant.

I know it's smaller then what we would want or use, but for a traveling soloist, or couple I really think it's what this is designed for. Like: AWD Ford with eco-boost, "Euro styling" of the decor, and overall floor plan. Dislikes: generator is on the wrong side, should be on the drivers side, electrical and wet hookups too close need to be in its own bay, no outdoor tv/entertaiment. It's a great start, but needs a little more refinements in the placement of all the "rv" things.

Like instant hot water heater No step down to cab Quality cabinetry w/adjustable shelves, lots of storage Dislike Dinette, prefer recliners and small table Plastic toilet Teeny tiny freezer Thanks Matt, thanks Andrea

I'm not a fan of slide outs but absolutely get this RV - fantastic alternative to a class B or cabover style class C.
