Three things I like about your reviews: 1. You are willing and able to point out negatives/problems. 2. You are willing and able to point out negatives/problems. 3. You are willing and able to point out negatives/problems.
Nice review, Matt and Andrea, thanks. You both always provide useful information and even a bit of entertainment. My likes: 1. Interior looks roomy for being such a small class A. 2. Massive kitchen counter space 3. Storage everywhere inside 4. Easily transportable propane bottles. Won't have to break camp and take the whole rig to a filling station when you run out of propane. 5. Outside kitchen with a TV. Dislikes 1. No couch. Would rather have a small couch and a long pedestal table than a dinette. 2. No rear bumper. Seriously, Winnebago, kind of a stupid decision there. Not only for stinky slinky storage, but also for roof ladder access. Was there an add-on ladder in the kit we missed? 3. Battery disconnect location is just dumb. Its like they couldn't afford a few feet of cable to mount it in a standard position in the step well. 4. Missing propane quick connect (unless I missed it). 5. Over cab bunk space headroom is tiny. Even though rated for 300 lbs, I couldn't imagine an adult human sleeping up there. On the flip side, looks like maybe you could still drive if the bunk was stuck in the down position. Sorry, my likes and dislikes ended up being more than three.
The 3 things I do not like: 1. no bumper and the ladder 2. the bunk over the cab is too high 3. where the battery disconnect is The 3 things I do like: 1. the quality of the cabinetry 2. the layout of the kitchen 3. the exterior color scheme
Hey Matt and Andrea, This is a sweet little Class A at a very good price. Likes: 1. I really like the wood coloring, its really pretty. 2. Excellent storage through out. 3. The kitchen is amazing for a small motor home so is the bathroom size. 4. Outdoor kitchen! 5. Like the dinette table, some storage for games or office sipplies, table would work great for someone who likes to stand up while working on computer. Dislikes: 1. The wall with the TV looks awkward, sort of sticks out like a sore thumb. Its a good placement for the swivel cab seats, but the wall needs something, little shallow shelves for remotes, or wood panel at bottom maybe. The white wall is just - in your face. 2. Out side storage is not great but I guess a couple could use the bunk over cab for folding table, chairs and outdoor rug? 3. Ladder = great, lack of bumper = accident waiting to happen. 4. Two windows on the left side wall of bed - 0 windows for the person stuck sleeping on the right (not a deal breaker, but im the sucker sleeping on the right. Overall, very nice, very DIY - National park friendly size at a great price.
You two have the "white awning" issue wrong. IT'S GOOD!!! Why? Real simple, it reflects sun better to make it cooler under it. I'd take white over dark any day!
Years ago I work for a heavy equipment and traveled the U.S. and the world as a field service rep. I once traveled with the design engineer of the equipment we where sent to set up. During the set up people complained how things went together and worked. The engineer never said he designed the unit!!!! He later told me he was worried about the ball busting he would get, if anyone new he designed the equipment. Design engineers need to get out in the in the real world to see, listen, and use what they draw!!!!
Hey Matt, I like the gray color. The old white intents always reminded me of an ambulance. Offer a small couch instead of the dinette with a pedestal table that could go in so you could eat at the couch. install a bumper for the sewer hose, and for goodness sakes add another step or two to the ladder, we don't want to see Matt get hurt
3 things I don’t like: -the weird wood paneling on the walls. It’s like a bad 70s/80s basement at your aunt Linda’s house. That stuff also peels the top layer off if you get tape or anything on it. Gross. No thanks Winnebago. - the textured wallpaper. It just looks like a hospital waiting room. Whatever you use to cover the walls, just make it smooth so it’s easier to wipe down and clean. - That battery switch is a JOKE. I agree Matt, I’m not climbing half way into a storage box to turn it on. The things I like: - The kitchen is a great design. Nice counter space, good size sink, and the counters aren’t sticking out awkwardly. - I love that they didn’t put ridiculous 4” swatches of carpet on the slide outs, where the dinette connects to the floor, or the master bed, etc... those tiny little carpet islands drive me nuts and you want to carry around a vacuum for that? Please just stick to this no carpet style or use a piece of trim to cover up the seams. This is so nice being carpet free. - I love the bedroom set up! Plenty of cabinets, under the bed storage, lots of light from the windows, and short over the bed lights (so you don’t whack your head when you sit up) and a nice headboard!! Great design. Awesome video M & A! You guys rocked it as usual my dudes. 💪☺️
Hi Matt Just sent you a e mail. This Winnebago DOES HAVE A COMPUTER TRAY! LOL Look in the passenger side door. Its black and flat. It has a way to hook in to the passenger side dash by putting it at 90% angle to the dash and bring it down. It will be secure on the dash at that point AND it slides some as well. NOT breaking your Chops, I just know you want to be accurate with your reviews. I know this because I saw another(indoor RVs) sow it yesterday on her review.
Love: the kitchen, storage space inside, amount of living space. Dislikes: No bumper, plastic toilet, prefer loveseat recliners w/removable table to dinette. LOVE Winnebago quality! Another great review! Thanks!
Love the little outside kitchen w/tv. Wish more toy haulers had this feature. Agree w/Andrea on the white awning Wah Wah's. White really looks nice in the beginning but it isn't long before you have to roll up the awning from high winds and rain so it rolls up wet. Do this a couple times and soon the black mold shows up. Love the interactions between you two. I feel like Matt represents the professional/seller and Andrea represents us the customers viewpoints more often than not. Matt represents us the customers more than most other RV salesmen however especially on the roof and in the bathroom.
MATT!!!!! You are going to fall!!!😲 Please be careful!!!✌❤ Love the outside kitchen! Love the inside kitchen! love the table's hide space!! Don't like the cabinet color, the storage is awesome! Plastic toilet 👎 Love this size!! That battery disconnect, crazy place!!! Great review Matt and Andrea ❤❤
HI MATT & ANDREA! THIS WINNEBAGO 28Y IS VERY CUTE AND HAVE A GREAT PRICE. I AGREE WITH MATT, NO SOFA. TO HAVE A DINETTE AND NO SOFA IS A BUMMER. SECONDLY, NO BACK BUMPER TO HELP SUPPORT CLIMBING ON THE PERMANENT FIXED LADDER. THIS IS NUMBERS TWO AND THREE. I DON'T LIKE A PERMANENT FIXED OUTSIDE LADDER. YOU DON'T WANT ANYONE CLIMBING ON TOP OF THE ROOF. WAWAWONK! NUMERO CUATRO WILL BE THE PLASTIC TOILET. NO GOOD. I LIKE, HOWEVER, THAT THE TOILET IS SEATED ON A LIFT HENCE GIVING HEIGHT. THAT'S GOOD! FIVE, THE BATTERY SHUT OFF SWITCH. THE LOCATION OF IT AND THE MECHANISM BOTH IS A FAILURE. SIX, THE OVERHEAD BUNKER CANNOT ACCOMMODATE A COMFORTABLE SLEEPING AREA. NO ROOM FOR ANYONE TO SLEEP THERE WITHOUT HITTING THEIR HEAD. AND IT ONLY ACCOMMODATES UP TO 300 LBS. NO GOOD. I CAN DO AWAY WITH THE OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM AND SMALL KITCHEN SINK AND FRIDGE. OTHER THAN THESE ISSUES, IT'S A BARGAIN. THANKS FOR KEEPING US INFORMED.
The price is amazing for a Winnebago. I agree with Matt about the dinette. I'd much rather have a love seat or theater seating with recliners with a floor post mounted dining table.
The three things that I do not like are: 1. The battery disconnect is hard to get to. I wonder if W. put it out there because of the kitchen slide? 2. The outdoor "kitchen" is more of a wet bar than a cooking space, there's no cooktop to help with food prep. 3. I would rather the cockpit seats rotated in, have a sofa with a couple of tables with posts to use , vice the dinette. for each seating group Three things I liked: 1. Compact but roomy with the slides 2. Impressive storage 3. Great bathroom design, wonder if the toilet could be upgraded. BTW Matt, I love your videos. I would like to see more Class B models.
👍 Smashy! Really thought you were going to take a header from that ladder, probably the same distance Neil Armstrong had to jump to get to the Lunar surface from the Eagle. L: space slides in/out; kitchen and appliances including the outside kitchen, if they were to replace the wide storage to the right of the fridge could a larger fridge be put in? ;a bed that doesn't fold up and a pocket door. D: never knew about the battery disconnect it's worse than hiding the over bunk switch or awning switch in the master bathroom, there better be a really good explanation for this apparent boneheaded placement; of course no rear bumper (trying to kill Matt eliminating true and unbiased reviews for RV lovers everywhere) with storage so tight outside just where does the stinky slinky go?; the generator right under the bed OMG harkens me back to the days when I had a waterbed with a vibrating massage function (it just vibrated the heck out of the frame). Stay safe you two, stay indoors if possible. 😷😷😷😷 We got us 7 new COVID-19 people tied to being forced to vote in person two weeks ago 😥😥
Hey Matt and Andrea!!! I stumbled across your channel not that long ago and now I watch every video you put out on both channels! I am almost positive that I will never own an RV. I struggle to keep just a regular roof over my head these days like so many others....still, watching y'all just warms my heart I just love y'all. ❤️ God bless and stay safe
I like the Kitchen also. .. I like the bedroom... I really don’t care for the outside kitchen for us .. I don’t know when we would actually use it. I love watching you guys. ❤️
LOVE: Kitchen is awesome GREAT storage The amount of space for such a small RV Size allows you into most parks Outdoor kitchen FTW HATE: NO sofa!!!!!! NO workstation on passenger side in the cab -deal breaker for a full-timer working on the road Plastic toilet Totally agree about the battery disconnect
I liked the outdoor kitchen. The storage is amazing! Colors are so so... I agree with Matt, a couch and table set up would have been better then no couch. We usually eat outside with the grandkids, those dinettes are not big enough for all of us anyway. Also, where were the seatbelts?
Impressive ladder climbing Matt. Love removable propane tanks, creative big kitchen, grey outside colour, lift up dinette table, big storage in bedroom. Big dislike is that front bunk of all Intents doesn't come down far enough and is therefore useless.
Matt / Andrea , I really like your reviews with the three likes , and three dislikes . I wish I had you three years ago when we brought our motor home!!! My earlier post is that manufactures (engineers) don't listen to the sales people or end user. Cost and build time are things that are more inportant!!!
I probably won’t be buying our RV for about 4 or 5 years. When we do you can be sure that if you are still selling them I will travel to where you are to buy it from you. I love your reviews. They are so real. I can’t watch other reviews because they are so fake. You are great and Andrea is amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing because you are doing an amazing job.
For the roof ladder you could use 2 ft step ladder to get up there, when you're done put it back in the storage. For the battery disconnect it could have put it in from above the small storage next to the entrance door. 🧐
Yall are fun lol Love: the cargo capacity , live the table raises and lowers easily the abundance of outlets and lights Super nice kitchen love having a real oven decent size fridge tons of storage Love everything in that bathroom incredible storage! Space around bed the underbody storage Hate: the bunk over cab is crap NO BUMPER No washer/dryer No sofa That battery disconnect is so DANGEROUS!!!
Another ladder issue: someone is going to kick the license plate light off when getting on/off the ladder. Also drop down bed looks more like a shelf than a bed. Great video.
Unbelievable, I can't believe that ladder. Big props for you getting up there, WOW !! Outside kitchen is not bad, love the awning, table is kinda cool how it comes up almost like an extra counter. The cabinets look pretty good too. No sofa does suck.
My Man Matt and My Girl Andrea! A Class A motorhome with no sofa? Deal breaker. I'm with you Matt, I'd prefer a sofa and no dinette. A ladder on the back that you need a ladder just to get to the bottom rung? No bumper? Who designed that? Who signed off on it? Deal breaker. The battery disconnect that you have to be a contortionist to access. Who in the world did design some of these features? Loved the outdoor kitchen. Loved the versatility of the dinette table. Loved the storage.
I agree, it needs a couch and porcelain toilet. I like that the bed is not a folded mattress, and the quality of the cabinets, the counter space in the kitchen and a pantry.
3 likes: 1:. Plenty of inside storage 2:. Great kitchen layout 3: nice outside kitchen 3 Dislikes: 1: 130k base for a "diy" class A?? Nope! 2:. Plastic toilet? Nope! 3: The dinette looks like it was stolen from a 1980's Burger King!! 4: Battery disconnect is where....????
like kitchen layout, Queen bed with c pap plug, bedroom cabinetry dislike carseat anchor?, ladder leap, no rear door or opening window. kayak transport?
Agree with others reviews, one thing I think is negative is that the slideout for the kitchen will decrease precious patio space under awning. Love Matt and Andrea's unbiased reviews!
I’m right there with you Matt! As a single guy without a bunch of kids to tag along-I’d rather have a comfy sofa/theater seating with small floating table than have a booth dinette if I had to have one or the other. This would be good for someone like me who’s been watching van life videos for several years now but would prob be scared to take the plunge without the comforts of a shower and running water.
Like the kitchen. Like that you don't have to be a giant to use the microwave. Love the outdoor kitchen! Love that dinnette table. Nice bedroom. Storage!!! I don't have a lot of dislikes.
There IS a computer Tray, tell Matt to please do his research before embarrassing himself!!! Just kidding Matt, we like you! Likes: 1) Swappable L.P. System. 2) Removable computer desk tray on the front ram mounts 3) Solar P.V ready with controller built-in. 4) Nearly 3361 OCCC. 5) 2 compressor fridges. 6) WIFI Ready. Dislikes: 1) No slam latches, just twist latches that will rust. 2) No couch & removable table option IPO dinette. 3) Plastic potty. 4) Battery disconnect is weird & on a price point instead of convenience. We Love this 28Y & the 2020 29L, if we weren’t so under water on our Lance we’d be up to see you tomorrow, LOL.
We own a 2005 Winnebago Minnie Class C and are in the market for a new rig in the next few years. The more of Matt's reviews I watch the more I realize we will not own another Winnebago. It seems they are stuck in the past and other manufacturer's have caught up with better quality and design. The things I like: 1. Pocket door for the bedroom instead of accordion. 2. Winnebago make great cabinetry. Things I don't like: 1. No rear bumper of any kind. Matt perfectly demonstrates how this renders the ladder almost useless. 2. TV in the outdoor kitchen. So to watch TV outside you have to seat yourself all the way at the end of the canopy, therefore opening the possibility of being in the sun depending on the angle. Also this leads to number 3. 3. Why is there a slide on the patio side? Other manufacturers have moved to the driver's side so the slide doesn't take up space under the awning and block access to the under storage where you put your patio equipment like chairs, etc. 4. The fridge in the outdoor kitchen could have been bigger if they did away with the drawer underneath. It's too small to be effective for outdoor entertaining. 5. Still using those crummy turn/switch locks on the outside storage compartments. They wind up stripping out over time. Where are the lever activated handles? 6. 20lb Propane tanks are a great idea for easy swap. However, you have to remove a bolt to get them loose which is just a hassle. Pull up at Walmart and spend 10 minutes with a tool kit to get the tank out. How about a strap design with a flip lever around each tank? 7. No computer tray for passenger seat. 8. The overhead bunk has no windows and not even a light near the front of the coach. And it's so cramped it would be like sleeping in an oversize coffin. 9. The mid bathroom completely cuts the coach in half and limits the living room and kitchen space. 10. Lift up dinette table seems like a gimmick design just to say "we did something different". Serves no practical purpose IMO. 11. I know Winnebago's cabinets are high quality in their manufacturer, but I agree with Andrea the color sucks. That combined with the crummy wallpaper makes the whole thing look cheap. 12. We have the same "desk" and window in our bedroom. Wasted space in ours, and proves that Winnebago sticks with the same design 15 years later. Our 2005 bedroom is almost identical and this just shows a lack of innovation IMO. 13. No couch. Plenty of options at this size/price that have both a dinette and a couch. 14. Plastic toilet. I'd pay and extra $200 for a porcelain one. 15. Shower dimensions are wrong to have a door. Ever drop something and have to bend over to get it? 16. Faux paneling behind the TV looks cheap. 17. Dinette is small so the driver's seat and rotate and not be blocked by the bench seat. However the dinette can only seat 2 people? 18. After giving a second look, because of the patio side slide offering the extra counter space in the kitchen and the bathroom placement, it's like walking through a maze to get to the rear of the coach. Enter coach, turn left, bob right, walk forward, bob left, walk forward, bob right to avoid the bedroom cabinets. Breaks up the flow through the coach. I would buy a half dozen other comparable RV's at this size/price point before this one. The Thor A.C.E. 27 comes to mind first. Winnebago, I appreciate the quality you put in your products, but other manufacturer's are leaving you behind in the design and innovation department. You can't just live on your name forever and expect to charge a premium if you don't keep up with the times. Matt and Andrea. new subscriber and love the channel. Keep em coming we appreciate your insight and thorough reviews.
I have loved this RV since first time I saw it, especially the Soft Linen with Light Luxury Linen interior. I hope I can find this RV next fall when I'm ready to purchase. I plan on being a full time RVer effective Sept 1, 2022 and pray it is in this RV. Just me and my dog so more than enough room and priority is great kitchen both inside and out.
Yeah, you gotta have a bumper! I mean come on! And...Yeah, the battery shut off? What? They could easily have wired that to go inside. Third, no couch. They should at least have put in 2 recliners instead for comfort. You could always use a fold up table to use a computer or to eat off of. I mean, it's not upscale and I'm not looking for complete luxury right? Okay, now I love the kitchen space! Lots of counter space and huge kitchen sink and an oven, pantry and plenty of drawahs! Lots of storage in the bathroom. Great storage in the bedroom as well and I prefer the storage under the bed. I have a suggestion for the 4 P's...you don't take into account once a full roll of toilet paper is installed, there is no longer the leg room you think you have when you sit. Blam! I'm so smart! Haha! Btw, this is Tammie Miller commenting, Tim had to leave for work, but he was watching with me this morning. Congrats on all the subs! You guys work hard for it! This is that BEST RV review channel out there! Peace! Edit...forgot to add that we ALWAYS love an outdoor kitchen!
I'm digging the 'adjustable' dinette table, like counter space in kitchen, great storage everywhere! Dislike the look of the benches at the dinette they look cheap, ladder is not user friendly, and Matt's right, the disconnect is in a crummy spot.
COULD I LIVE IN THIS IN WINTER, LOVE THE MOVE AROUND BED EASY TO CHANGE AND MAKE, LIKE OUTDOOR KITCHEN, LOTS OF CUPBOARDS SPACE DON'T LIKE TOILET, NO BUTTON TO SHUTDOWN, OVEN TO SMALL
I work in the warehouse at Winnebago IND. I never get to see the inside of the finished models. Thank you for the tour. Honestly I never understood the plastic toilet.
Likes: the table, kitchen and bedroom cabinets. Dislikes: battery disconnect (stupid idea), ladder (ridiculous), no rear bumper. Who wasn't thinking when they built this unit? It looks so cheap. You two are very entertaining! Better than most TV shows! The puppy will act like a crazy dog for about 3 years! I had a lab and he was full of energy. He ended up being the best dog ever but it took a long time! Good luck with the dog! 🐕
No sofa??? I guess it’s OK for a couple - and the cockpit chairs swivel right into position to watch that TV. And I think you missed the pull-out grill in the outside kitchen. Thanks again guys!
I taught my malamute puppy not to bite by tugging on his canine teeth when he came at us. Just a firm playful tug made him pull away. After awhile(a few weeks maybe?) he learned that it was unpleasant to chew on his humans! He was great with tbe littles after that.
Three things I like are....the space from the slides, outside storage space for a small Motorhome, and the kitchen area. Three things I dislike are...it does need a sofa and have a couple of holes in the floor for a table ( my parents had one in the 90’s that had this and it was great), shower seems a little claustrophobic, and the outside color-I like darker colors.
3 things I like: Awsome kitchen - I love it Spacious Bedroom Short length and CCC 3 things I dislike: No sofa - there should be at least an L-shaped dinette Plastic toilet No bumper
Hey Matt and Andrea! Great video as usual! I liked this one a lot because of it's size, then you showed power button waaaay in the back, in the bottom, in the dark. Who does that? NOBODY! Right Andrea? LOL! Dislikes: #1 is listed above #2 would prefer theater seating #3 color of appliances; too dark, would prefer stainless steel Likes: #1 the kitchen is my favorite #2 table top could hold cards and game pieces #3 size of coach Still in love with the Entegra Esteem 27U though!
The white awning is to keep the underside cooler. Also, the battery disconnect switch in our Winnebago is inside, near the door. Great, except for when your grandchildren are with you. Always accidental shutting off of the switch. Lol! We love our interior. You guys, at times, make it sound cheap, which it's not. Other than that, love your reviews!!
Great video as always. May I suggest to show the floorplan for at least 20 seconds. Also when panning around the inside. Please slow down a bit and rest the cam for a few seconds on each area like cockpit, living area, dinette, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. Reason > its so quick I always have to rewind to the floorplan to pause. But since I watch your videos on my TV, pausing overlays half the screen with controls. I use a standard Android TV. So I guess this impacts many people. Thanks.
Everytime I see Matt climb up to the roof, I click the thumbs up ... I feel like there should be a double-thumbs up for this video for the effort alone. Having a ladder but making it difficult to use is my biggest dislike. As for the battery switch, it's definitely not convenient and should have been put inside, next to the door. However, I wonder if that switch is accessed through the battery compartment door next to the big door that you show. It seems like the switch was far enough back that it sat over the batteries in the small compartment next to the big one. In which case, it's easier to access, but still a dumb placement.
Battery disconnect location is crazy, macerator toilet would be nice too, bunk does not go down far enough Love the kitchen, the length, and space inside
Just found your videos and love them! Subscribed to your channel. The hubby and I are looking to downsize, currently we have a 1999 Monaco Diplomat diesel pusher, 40', 1 slide. Due to the hubby's health, I am going to have to drive more and I just am not comfortable with what we have, especially when we are towing. I want short! LOL Anyway, have been looking at the FR3's, loved your videos on them. Then I saw this and I am almost persuaded. What I like: 1. Loved the short length with 3 slides 2. bedroom size is nice 3. Kitchen area What I dislike: 1. No sofa - I would take out that dinette and add my own sofa and use tv trays - and Winnebago that extra work just might be a deal breaker 2. Pure stupid: the disconnect switch (ridiculous) and no back bumper 3. plastic toilet - would immediately replace it with porcelain 4. I thought there should be a gas hookup by the outside kitchen Anyway, keep up the good work!
1) Don’t like slides on passenger side - takes up awning sitting area; 2) don’t like dinette (prefer recliners); 3) hate the bunk/coffin in front. Do like: 1) no ugly valances on windows; 2) lots of counter space in kitchen; 3) layout and storage in bathroom. (Okay, have to add - hate where the battery disconnect is.)
SK41: Dislike, #1: Would much prefer stainless steel sinks in kitchen and bathroom. White sinks and plastic commode look and feel cheap and chintzy. Dislike, #2: Matt is correct when he says that a sofa is required in addition to the dinnette. Dislike #3, Need 50 amp service for second a/c unit installation. Dislike #4: Should have outside kitchen delete option. Dislike #5: New Ford 7.3 liter "Godzilla" V8 should be standard instead of outdated, obsolete V10 engine. Dislike #6: Needs an "In Command" style system to operate a/c, heat and keep track of fresh, gray and black water tanks as well as no less than five (5) standard 100 amp LiFePo4 (Battle Born type) batteries . Dislike #7: Need heated and insulated tanks, and dump valves. Dislike #8: Needs at least 510 watts of Solar panels on roof, plus 3,000 amps of switchable, hybrid, pure sine wave inverter. Likes #1, #2 and #3: Price, Price and Price.
Like: Prep for solar, outside kitchen, (don't like no propane stove outside), no floor vents! Don't like: frig limited access when slides closed. We need 2 workspaces - computer tray and a place to put monitors for work vs dinette. With the majority of ppl still working remotely, are builders going to give us options to put desks? It would have been better that the dinette table would move toward one of the seats to have more space.
I like that the kitchen sink DOESN'T MOVE so the plumbing is fixed and does not move, even though the kitchen has a slide. That's very clever. I don't like that there's no slide out food pantry, when they had the space to do it next to the fridge.
I love the RV size...not too big not too small, the kitchen is great! Bedroom and storage AWESOME! DIY is great! Bathroom/shower perfect! Outside kitchen is great...but TV over sink?😐Plastic toilet....can live with.
You and Josh from Haylett RV up in Michigan are my two favourite dealership oriented RV channels since the both of you do such a good job providing the info on rigs that people may want to buy!
Finally, been waiting on this review forever.. love it.. my only dislikes is no bumper and plastic kitchen sink and plastic toilet.. plastic toilets is so unsanitary.. awesome review Matt & Andrea like always.. umm Winnebago why is the battery disconnect is in awkward location..
Kind of typical of earlier small WB's - you either got a couch or a dinette. I need a dinette for office space but I get people thinking having to choose makes the living space too small.
This is the perfect Class A for a one or two people traveling. Matt I agree, I'd rather have a sofa with a pedestal table. I love the outside kitchen and the inside kitchen. Oh and Andrea, when you go "bing" to show the puppy, no picture appears.
Spiderman, Spiderman, lookout, Matt's is the spiderman! Negative/ Ladder unsafe points -50, toilet plastic points -20, Kitchen outside, TV ok, Fride ok, sink ok, where is the grill or hookup, points -20, Positive/ The paint, the grill, storage, 100 points, two sinks 100, bedroom lot of room, points 100, the sale 49% 20 GRAND TOTAL =330
Great video Matt & Andrea. Nice RV but the no couch or club chairs with trays/lagoon table is a deal breaker. Since most people buying this size I assume are couples, a couple loungers with a lagoon table that folds between or individual trays would be all I need.
Three things I like about your reviews: 1. You are willing and able to point out negatives/problems. 2. You are willing and able to point out negatives/problems. 3. You are willing and able to point out negatives/problems.
Nice review, Matt and Andrea, thanks. You both always provide useful information and even a bit of entertainment.
My likes:
1. Interior looks roomy for being such a small class A.
2. Massive kitchen counter space
3. Storage everywhere inside
4. Easily transportable propane bottles. Won't have to break camp and take the whole rig to a filling station when you run out of propane.
5. Outside kitchen with a TV.
Dislikes
1. No couch. Would rather have a small couch and a long pedestal table than a dinette.
2. No rear bumper. Seriously, Winnebago, kind of a stupid decision there. Not only for stinky slinky storage, but also for roof ladder access. Was there an add-on ladder in the kit we missed?
3. Battery disconnect location is just dumb. Its like they couldn't afford a few feet of cable to mount it in a standard position in the step well.
4. Missing propane quick connect (unless I missed it).
5. Over cab bunk space headroom is tiny. Even though rated for 300 lbs, I couldn't imagine an adult human sleeping up there. On the flip side, looks like maybe you could still drive if the bunk was stuck in the down position.
Sorry, my likes and dislikes ended up being more than three.
Winnebago should make you a brand ambassador for dealing with that lack of bumper.. wtf???
The 3 things I do not like:
1. no bumper and the ladder
2. the bunk over the cab is too high
3. where the battery disconnect is
The 3 things I do like:
1. the quality of the cabinetry
2. the layout of the kitchen
3. the exterior color scheme
Yeah someone is going to break their neck either getting up into or down out of that thing. Biggest safety issue ever...
Hey Matt and Andrea,
This is a sweet little Class A at a very good price.
Likes:
1. I really like the wood coloring, its really pretty.
2. Excellent storage through out.
3. The kitchen is amazing for a small motor home so is the bathroom size.
4. Outdoor kitchen!
5. Like the dinette table, some storage for games or office sipplies, table would work great for someone who likes to stand up while working on computer.
Dislikes:
1. The wall with the TV looks awkward, sort of sticks out like a sore thumb. Its a good placement for the swivel cab seats, but the wall needs something, little shallow shelves for remotes, or wood panel at bottom maybe. The white wall is just - in your face.
2. Out side storage is not great but I guess a couple could use the bunk over cab for folding table, chairs and outdoor rug?
3. Ladder = great, lack of bumper = accident waiting to happen.
4. Two windows on the left side wall of bed - 0 windows for the person stuck sleeping on the right (not a deal breaker, but im the sucker sleeping on the right.
Overall, very nice, very DIY - National park friendly size at a great price.
Isabeau S
You missed the point of the lack of a bumper. . . You'll have to be an athlete to use the ladder, nothing to step on to get on the ladder.
You two have the "white awning" issue wrong. IT'S GOOD!!! Why? Real simple, it reflects sun better to make it cooler under it. I'd take white over dark any day!
I agree 100%.
Until it gets dirty. Then it looks terrible! I’ll take the colors underneath as they are on top.
Heat rises, so if heat goes up it draws is more air faster so as heat goes up that leaves colder air to rush in the void of the hot air.
Years ago I work for a heavy equipment and traveled the U.S. and the world as a field service rep. I once traveled with the design engineer of the equipment we where sent to set up. During the set up people complained how things went together and worked. The engineer never said he designed the unit!!!! He later told me he was worried about the ball busting he would get, if anyone new he designed the equipment. Design engineers need to get out in the in the real world to see, listen, and use what they draw!!!!
New or Knew??
Hey Matt, I like the gray color. The old white intents always reminded me of an ambulance.
Offer a small couch instead of the dinette with a pedestal table that could go in so you could eat at the couch.
install a bumper for the sewer hose, and for goodness sakes add another step or two to the ladder, we don't want to see Matt get hurt
3 things I don’t like:
-the weird wood paneling on the walls. It’s like a bad 70s/80s basement at your aunt Linda’s house. That stuff also peels the top layer off if you get tape or anything on it. Gross. No thanks Winnebago.
- the textured wallpaper. It just looks like a hospital waiting room. Whatever you use to cover the walls, just make it smooth so it’s easier to wipe down and clean.
- That battery switch is a JOKE. I agree Matt, I’m not climbing half way into a storage box to turn it on.
The things I like:
- The kitchen is a great design. Nice counter space, good size sink, and the counters aren’t sticking out awkwardly.
- I love that they didn’t put ridiculous 4” swatches of carpet on the slide outs, where the dinette connects to the floor, or the master bed, etc... those tiny little carpet islands drive me nuts and you want to carry around a vacuum for that? Please just stick to this no carpet style or use a piece of trim to cover up the seams. This is so nice being carpet free.
- I love the bedroom set up! Plenty of cabinets, under the bed storage, lots of light from the windows, and short over the bed lights (so you don’t whack your head when you sit up) and a nice headboard!! Great design.
Awesome video M & A! You guys rocked it as usual my dudes. 💪☺️
Hi Matt Just sent you a e mail. This Winnebago DOES HAVE A COMPUTER TRAY! LOL Look in the passenger side door. Its black and flat. It has a way to hook in to the passenger side dash by putting it at 90% angle to the dash and bring it down. It will be secure on the dash at that point AND it slides some as well. NOT breaking your Chops, I just know you want to be accurate with your reviews. I know this because I saw another(indoor RVs) sow it yesterday on her review.
Love: the kitchen, storage space inside, amount of living space. Dislikes: No bumper, plastic toilet, prefer loveseat recliners w/removable table to dinette. LOVE Winnebago quality! Another great review! Thanks!
Love the little outside kitchen w/tv. Wish more toy haulers had this feature. Agree w/Andrea on the white awning Wah Wah's. White really looks nice in the beginning but it isn't long before you have to roll up the awning from high winds and rain so it rolls up wet. Do this a couple times and soon the black mold shows up. Love the interactions between you two. I feel like Matt represents the professional/seller and Andrea represents us the customers viewpoints more often than not. Matt represents us the customers more than most other RV salesmen however especially on the roof and in the bathroom.
MATT!!!!! You are going to fall!!!😲 Please be careful!!!✌❤ Love the outside kitchen! Love the inside kitchen! love the table's hide space!! Don't like the cabinet color, the storage is awesome! Plastic toilet 👎 Love this size!! That battery disconnect, crazy place!!! Great review Matt and Andrea ❤❤
HI MATT & ANDREA!
THIS WINNEBAGO 28Y IS VERY CUTE AND HAVE A GREAT PRICE.
I AGREE WITH MATT, NO SOFA. TO HAVE A DINETTE AND NO SOFA IS A BUMMER. SECONDLY, NO BACK BUMPER TO HELP SUPPORT CLIMBING ON THE PERMANENT FIXED LADDER. THIS IS NUMBERS TWO AND THREE. I DON'T LIKE A PERMANENT FIXED OUTSIDE LADDER. YOU DON'T WANT ANYONE CLIMBING ON TOP OF THE ROOF. WAWAWONK!
NUMERO CUATRO WILL BE THE PLASTIC TOILET. NO GOOD. I LIKE, HOWEVER, THAT THE TOILET IS SEATED ON A LIFT HENCE GIVING HEIGHT. THAT'S GOOD!
FIVE, THE BATTERY SHUT OFF SWITCH. THE LOCATION OF IT AND THE MECHANISM BOTH IS A FAILURE.
SIX, THE OVERHEAD BUNKER CANNOT ACCOMMODATE A COMFORTABLE SLEEPING AREA. NO ROOM FOR ANYONE TO SLEEP THERE WITHOUT HITTING THEIR HEAD. AND IT ONLY ACCOMMODATES UP TO 300 LBS. NO GOOD.
I CAN DO AWAY WITH THE OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM AND SMALL KITCHEN SINK AND FRIDGE.
OTHER THAN THESE ISSUES, IT'S A BARGAIN.
THANKS FOR KEEPING US INFORMED.
The price is amazing for a Winnebago. I agree with Matt about the dinette. I'd much rather have a love seat or theater seating with recliners with a floor post mounted dining table.
I agree
I totally agree. I rather have a recliner couch. And that bunk!😩 It's not high enough , maybe for a pancake😩 Might as well just take it out.
The three things that I do not like are:
1. The battery disconnect is hard to get to. I wonder if W. put it out there because of the kitchen slide?
2. The outdoor "kitchen" is more of a wet bar than a cooking space, there's no cooktop to help with food prep.
3. I would rather the cockpit seats rotated in, have a sofa with a couple of tables with posts to use , vice the dinette.
for each seating group
Three things I liked:
1. Compact but roomy with the slides
2. Impressive storage
3. Great bathroom design, wonder if the toilet could be upgraded.
BTW Matt, I love your videos. I would like to see more Class B models.
👍 Smashy! Really thought you were going to take a header from that ladder, probably the same distance Neil Armstrong had to jump to get to the Lunar surface from the Eagle. L: space slides in/out; kitchen and appliances including the outside kitchen, if they were to replace the wide storage to the right of the fridge could a larger fridge be put in? ;a bed that doesn't fold up and a pocket door. D: never knew about the battery disconnect it's worse than hiding the over bunk switch or awning switch in the master bathroom, there better be a really good explanation for this apparent boneheaded placement; of course no rear bumper (trying to kill Matt eliminating true and unbiased reviews for RV lovers everywhere) with storage so tight outside just where does the stinky slinky go?; the generator right under the bed OMG harkens me back to the days when I had a waterbed with a vibrating massage function (it just vibrated the heck out of the frame). Stay safe you two, stay indoors if possible. 😷😷😷😷 We got us 7 new COVID-19 people tied to being forced to vote in person two weeks ago 😥😥
Hey Matt and Andrea!!! I stumbled across your channel not that long ago and now I watch every video you put out on both channels! I am almost positive that I will never own an RV. I struggle to keep just a regular roof over my head these days like so many others....still, watching y'all just warms my heart I just love y'all. ❤️ God bless and stay safe
Thank you so much Amy!
I like the Kitchen also. .. I like the bedroom... I really don’t care for the outside kitchen for us .. I don’t know when we would actually use it. I love watching you guys. ❤️
LOVE:
Kitchen is awesome
GREAT storage
The amount of space for such a small RV
Size allows you into most parks
Outdoor kitchen FTW
HATE:
NO sofa!!!!!!
NO workstation on passenger side in the cab -deal breaker for a full-timer working on the road
Plastic toilet
Totally agree about the battery disconnect
“No plastic toilets!” as Joan Crawford used to say. ( okay, she really said “No wire hangers”. Close enough)
After that movie came out, we used to call our mom 'mommie dearest.' She hated that.
I liked the outdoor kitchen. The storage is amazing! Colors are so so... I agree with Matt, a couch and table set up would have been better then no couch. We usually eat outside with the grandkids, those dinettes are not big enough for all of us anyway. Also, where were the seatbelts?
We love the big sinks in the kitchen. We like you can laid in the bed when the slides are close and the exterior color.
Impressive ladder climbing Matt. Love removable propane tanks, creative big kitchen, grey outside colour, lift up dinette table, big storage in bedroom. Big dislike is that front bunk of all Intents doesn't come down far enough and is therefore useless.
I smashed like right after you made that heroic jump off the high ladder.
Matt / Andrea , I really like your reviews with the three likes , and three dislikes . I wish I had you three years ago when we brought our motor home!!! My earlier post is that manufactures (engineers) don't listen to the sales people or end user. Cost and build time are things that are more inportant!!!
I probably won’t be buying our RV for about 4 or 5 years. When we do you can be sure that if you are still selling them I will travel to where you are to buy it from you. I love your reviews. They are so real. I can’t watch other reviews because they are so fake. You are great and Andrea is amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing because you are doing an amazing job.
For the roof ladder you could use 2 ft step ladder to get up there, when you're done put it back in the storage. For the battery disconnect it could have put it in from above the small storage next to the entrance door. 🧐
Yall are fun lol
Love: the cargo capacity , live the table raises and lowers easily the abundance of outlets and lights
Super nice kitchen love having a real oven decent size fridge tons of storage
Love everything in that bathroom incredible storage!
Space around bed the underbody storage
Hate: the bunk over cab is crap
NO BUMPER
No washer/dryer
No sofa
That battery disconnect is so DANGEROUS!!!
Another ladder issue: someone is going to kick the license plate light off when getting on/off the ladder. Also drop down bed looks more like a shelf than a bed. Great video.
Unbelievable, I can't believe that ladder. Big props for you getting up there, WOW !! Outside kitchen is not bad, love the awning, table is kinda cool how it comes up almost like an extra counter. The cabinets look pretty good too. No sofa does suck.
I think the dinette flips up to give you more counter space for kitchen
My Man Matt and My Girl Andrea!
A Class A motorhome with no sofa? Deal breaker. I'm with you Matt, I'd prefer a sofa and no dinette.
A ladder on the back that you need a ladder just to get to the bottom rung? No bumper? Who designed that? Who signed off on it? Deal breaker.
The battery disconnect that you have to be a contortionist to access. Who in the world did design some of these features?
Loved the outdoor kitchen. Loved the versatility of the dinette table.
Loved the storage.
I agree, it needs a couch and porcelain toilet. I like that the bed is not a folded mattress, and the quality of the cabinets, the counter space in the kitchen and a pantry.
3 likes:
1:. Plenty of inside storage
2:. Great kitchen layout
3: nice outside kitchen
3 Dislikes:
1: 130k base for a "diy" class A?? Nope!
2:. Plastic toilet? Nope!
3: The dinette looks like it was stolen from a 1980's Burger King!!
4: Battery disconnect is where....????
I thought that was pretty steep from others they have shown with more space.
like kitchen layout, Queen bed with c pap plug, bedroom cabinetry
dislike carseat anchor?, ladder leap, no rear door or opening window.
kayak transport?
Thanks Matt and Andrea. This RV is just a little too small for my family. Yall stay safe. GO ARMY
Please do a video on National Park limitations and the best RVs meeting the most requirements? Thank you.
Agree with others reviews, one thing I think is negative is that the slideout for the kitchen will decrease precious patio space under awning. Love Matt and Andrea's unbiased reviews!
How all male accidents happen, "Hold my beer" :)
I’m right there with you Matt! As a single guy without a bunch of kids to tag along-I’d rather have a comfy sofa/theater seating with small floating table than have a booth dinette if I had to have one or the other. This would be good for someone like me who’s been watching van life videos for several years now but would prob be scared to take the plunge without the comforts of a shower and running water.
Well this would be good for that wanna be full-time if you had the option for a comfy place to sit in front of the tv.
Like the kitchen. Like that you don't have to be a giant to use the microwave. Love the outdoor kitchen! Love that dinnette table.
Nice bedroom. Storage!!!
I don't have a lot of dislikes.
There IS a computer Tray, tell Matt to please do his research before embarrassing himself!!! Just kidding Matt, we like you! Likes: 1) Swappable L.P. System. 2) Removable computer desk tray on the front ram mounts 3) Solar P.V ready with controller built-in. 4) Nearly 3361 OCCC. 5) 2 compressor fridges. 6) WIFI Ready. Dislikes: 1) No slam latches, just twist latches that will rust. 2) No couch & removable table option IPO dinette. 3) Plastic potty. 4) Battery disconnect is weird & on a price point instead of convenience. We Love this 28Y & the 2020 29L, if we weren’t so under water on our Lance we’d be up to see you tomorrow, LOL.
I enjoy these sales videos. Good descriptions. We will be in the market soon.
We own a 2005 Winnebago Minnie Class C and are in the market for a new rig in the next few years. The more of Matt's reviews I watch the more I realize we will not own another Winnebago. It seems they are stuck in the past and other manufacturer's have caught up with better quality and design. The things I like:
1. Pocket door for the bedroom instead of accordion.
2. Winnebago make great cabinetry.
Things I don't like:
1. No rear bumper of any kind. Matt perfectly demonstrates how this renders the ladder almost useless.
2. TV in the outdoor kitchen. So to watch TV outside you have to seat yourself all the way at the end of the canopy, therefore opening the possibility of being in the sun depending on the angle. Also this leads to number 3.
3. Why is there a slide on the patio side? Other manufacturers have moved to the driver's side so the slide doesn't take up space under the awning and block access to the under storage where you put your patio equipment like chairs, etc.
4. The fridge in the outdoor kitchen could have been bigger if they did away with the drawer underneath. It's too small to be effective for outdoor entertaining.
5. Still using those crummy turn/switch locks on the outside storage compartments. They wind up stripping out over time. Where are the lever activated handles?
6. 20lb Propane tanks are a great idea for easy swap. However, you have to remove a bolt to get them loose which is just a hassle. Pull up at Walmart and spend 10 minutes with a tool kit to get the tank out. How about a strap design with a flip lever around each tank?
7. No computer tray for passenger seat.
8. The overhead bunk has no windows and not even a light near the front of the coach. And it's so cramped it would be like sleeping in an oversize coffin.
9. The mid bathroom completely cuts the coach in half and limits the living room and kitchen space.
10. Lift up dinette table seems like a gimmick design just to say "we did something different". Serves no practical purpose IMO.
11. I know Winnebago's cabinets are high quality in their manufacturer, but I agree with Andrea the color sucks. That combined with the crummy wallpaper makes the whole thing look cheap.
12. We have the same "desk" and window in our bedroom. Wasted space in ours, and proves that Winnebago sticks with the same design 15 years later. Our 2005 bedroom is almost identical and this just shows a lack of innovation IMO.
13. No couch. Plenty of options at this size/price that have both a dinette and a couch.
14. Plastic toilet. I'd pay and extra $200 for a porcelain one.
15. Shower dimensions are wrong to have a door. Ever drop something and have to bend over to get it?
16. Faux paneling behind the TV looks cheap.
17. Dinette is small so the driver's seat and rotate and not be blocked by the bench seat. However the dinette can only seat 2 people?
18. After giving a second look, because of the patio side slide offering the extra counter space in the kitchen and the bathroom placement, it's like walking through a maze to get to the rear of the coach. Enter coach, turn left, bob right, walk forward, bob left, walk forward, bob right to avoid the bedroom cabinets. Breaks up the flow through the coach.
I would buy a half dozen other comparable RV's at this size/price point before this one. The Thor A.C.E. 27 comes to mind first. Winnebago, I appreciate the quality you put in your products, but other manufacturer's are leaving you behind in the design and innovation department. You can't just live on your name forever and expect to charge a premium if you don't keep up with the times.
Matt and Andrea. new subscriber and love the channel. Keep em coming we appreciate your insight and thorough reviews.
I have loved this RV since first time I saw it, especially the Soft Linen with Light Luxury Linen interior. I hope I can find this RV next fall when I'm ready to purchase. I plan on being a full time RVer effective Sept 1, 2022 and pray it is in this RV. Just me and my dog so more than enough room and priority is great kitchen both inside and out.
I give you 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 for climbing up that ladder, and a🥇
I used to have a 22 foot 1986 Winnebago Class A. Winnebago has always been good at making smaller Class A coaches.
Yeah, you gotta have a bumper! I mean come on! And...Yeah, the battery shut off? What? They could easily have wired that to go inside. Third, no couch. They should at least have put in 2 recliners instead for comfort. You could always use a fold up table to use a computer or to eat off of. I mean, it's not upscale and I'm not looking for complete luxury right? Okay, now I love the kitchen space! Lots of counter space and huge kitchen sink and an oven, pantry and plenty of drawahs! Lots of storage in the bathroom. Great storage in the bedroom as well and I prefer the storage under the bed. I have a suggestion for the 4 P's...you don't take into account once a full roll of toilet paper is installed, there is no longer the leg room you think you have when you sit. Blam! I'm so smart! Haha! Btw, this is Tammie Miller commenting, Tim had to leave for work, but he was watching with me this morning. Congrats on all the subs! You guys work hard for it! This is that BEST RV review channel out there! Peace! Edit...forgot to add that we ALWAYS love an outdoor kitchen!
Storage is awesome . Bedroom plenty of space and a window! Move the switch somewhere else. Kitchen with oven and l and large sink
lol...yes the dog will get more better..I feel your pains as I have a German Shedder puppy and ya she rules the house
I'm digging the 'adjustable' dinette table, like counter space in kitchen, great storage everywhere! Dislike the look of the benches at the dinette they look cheap, ladder is not user friendly, and Matt's right, the disconnect is in a crummy spot.
I believe that’s also a pull out counter in the outdoor kitchen. That’s a big deal! Love this camper!
I like it. I'd keep the table in bed position (as a sofa) unless I needed a table.
COULD I LIVE IN THIS IN WINTER, LOVE THE MOVE AROUND BED EASY TO CHANGE AND MAKE, LIKE OUTDOOR KITCHEN, LOTS OF CUPBOARDS SPACE DON'T LIKE TOILET, NO BUTTON TO SHUTDOWN, OVEN TO SMALL
I'm Not a gynecologist, but I'll have a look!! Great entertainment Matt & Andrea thanks!
I work in the warehouse at Winnebago IND. I never get to see the inside of the finished models. Thank you for the tour. Honestly I never understood the plastic toilet.
Love the kitchen. Agree on the dinette vs sofa. Ladder situation ridiculous. Funky drop down bunk.
Great storage, particularly inside.
Step 1 watch Matt...Step 2. Hold my beer !!! Hahah love you all !!!
Likes: the table, kitchen and bedroom cabinets. Dislikes: battery disconnect (stupid idea), ladder (ridiculous), no rear bumper. Who wasn't thinking when they built this unit? It looks so cheap. You two are very entertaining! Better than most TV shows! The puppy will act like a crazy dog for about 3 years! I had a lab and he was full of energy. He ended up being the best dog ever but it took a long time! Good luck with the dog! 🐕
No sofa??? I guess it’s OK for a couple - and the cockpit chairs swivel right into position to watch that TV. And I think you missed the pull-out grill in the outside kitchen. Thanks again guys!
Totally agree about having NO sofa.
I taught my malamute puppy not to bite by tugging on his canine teeth when he came at us. Just a firm playful tug made him pull away. After awhile(a few weeks maybe?) he learned that it was unpleasant to chew on his humans! He was great with tbe littles after that.
Three things I like are....the space from the slides, outside storage space for a small Motorhome, and the kitchen area. Three things I dislike are...it does need a sofa and have a couple of holes in the floor for a table ( my parents had one in the 90’s that had this and it was great), shower seems a little claustrophobic, and the outside color-I like darker colors.
I love the outdoor kitchen, I think it would be an improvement to make it a pull-out.
That battery disconnect is a ultra deal breaker!..but for the price I can move it myself!
Wish it had a small sofa or recliner with a table
3 things I like:
Awsome kitchen - I love it
Spacious Bedroom
Short length and CCC
3 things I dislike:
No sofa - there should be at least an L-shaped dinette
Plastic toilet
No bumper
I live in a class C this is the first class A I like it is small enough for me. Love the kitchen counter space, the amount of storage, large awning.
Great review! Thanks Matt and Andrea!
You are one crazy ass dude climbing up there.....lol.
Hey Matt and Andrea! Great video as usual! I liked this one a lot because of it's size, then you showed power button waaaay in the back, in the bottom, in the dark. Who does that? NOBODY! Right Andrea? LOL!
Dislikes: #1 is listed above
#2 would prefer theater seating
#3 color of appliances; too dark, would prefer stainless steel
Likes: #1 the kitchen is my favorite
#2 table top could hold cards and game pieces
#3 size of coach
Still in love with the Entegra Esteem 27U though!
Thanks so much Andrea! Let me know when your ready and Andrea and I will Pick you up! :)
The white awning is to keep the underside cooler. Also, the battery disconnect switch in our Winnebago is inside, near the door. Great, except for when your grandchildren are with you. Always accidental shutting off of the switch. Lol! We love our interior. You guys, at times, make it sound cheap, which it's not. Other than that, love your reviews!!
Great video as always. May I suggest to show the floorplan for at least 20 seconds. Also when panning around the inside. Please slow down a bit and rest the cam for a few seconds on each area like cockpit, living area, dinette, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom.
Reason > its so quick I always have to rewind to the floorplan to pause. But since I watch your videos on my TV, pausing overlays half the screen with controls. I use a standard Android TV. So I guess this impacts many people. Thanks.
I think we agree.
Dislikes = no rear bumper, ladder & no sofa
Likes = outdoor kitchen, countertop & one piece queen size bed
A good way for Winnebago to make some extra money is optioning a vented washer/dryer in place of the outside kitchen. The plumbing is already there.
Everytime I see Matt climb up to the roof, I click the thumbs up ... I feel like there should be a double-thumbs up for this video for the effort alone. Having a ladder but making it difficult to use is my biggest dislike. As for the battery switch, it's definitely not convenient and should have been put inside, next to the door. However, I wonder if that switch is accessed through the battery compartment door next to the big door that you show. It seems like the switch was far enough back that it sat over the batteries in the small compartment next to the big one. In which case, it's easier to access, but still a dumb placement.
Great review , see you took my pointers to heart ,lol ! Audio was wonderful ! Matt, why you sweating bullets !
Battery disconnect location is crazy, macerator toilet would be nice too, bunk does not go down far enough
Love the kitchen, the length, and space inside
Wife likes the Euro style cabinets.We need 3 person sofa.
Like the roominess. Leveling jacks are great to have. Miss the desk area for passenger.
Just found your videos and love them! Subscribed to your channel. The hubby and I are looking to downsize, currently we have a 1999 Monaco Diplomat diesel pusher, 40', 1 slide. Due to the hubby's health, I am going to have to drive more and I just am not comfortable with what we have, especially when we are towing. I want short! LOL Anyway, have been looking at the FR3's, loved your videos on them. Then I saw this and I am almost persuaded.
What I like:
1. Loved the short length with 3 slides
2. bedroom size is nice
3. Kitchen area
What I dislike:
1. No sofa - I would take out that dinette and add my own sofa and use tv trays - and Winnebago that extra work just might be a deal breaker
2. Pure stupid: the disconnect switch (ridiculous) and no back bumper
3. plastic toilet - would immediately replace it with porcelain
4. I thought there should be a gas hookup by the outside kitchen
Anyway, keep up the good work!
OMG, you can sell any RV. Your energy is off the chain. The motor home is too small, it looks easy to drive but the Winnebago looks "old".
Nice little rig. And by Winnebago. Very nice. Stay safe out there guys. Hi Andrea! Cheers!!!
1) Don’t like slides on passenger side - takes up awning sitting area; 2) don’t like dinette (prefer recliners); 3) hate the bunk/coffin in front. Do like: 1) no ugly valances on windows; 2) lots of counter space in kitchen; 3) layout and storage in bathroom. (Okay, have to add - hate where the battery disconnect is.)
SK41: Dislike, #1: Would much prefer stainless steel sinks in kitchen and bathroom. White sinks and plastic commode look and feel cheap and chintzy. Dislike, #2: Matt is correct when he says that a sofa is required in addition to the dinnette. Dislike #3, Need 50 amp service for second a/c unit installation. Dislike #4: Should have outside kitchen delete option. Dislike #5: New Ford 7.3 liter "Godzilla" V8 should be standard instead of outdated, obsolete V10 engine. Dislike #6: Needs an "In Command" style system to operate a/c, heat and keep track of fresh, gray and black water tanks as well as no less than five (5) standard 100 amp LiFePo4 (Battle Born type) batteries . Dislike #7: Need heated and insulated tanks, and dump valves. Dislike #8: Needs at least 510 watts of Solar panels on roof, plus 3,000 amps of switchable, hybrid, pure sine wave inverter. Likes #1, #2 and #3: Price, Price and Price.
Like: Prep for solar, outside kitchen, (don't like no propane stove outside), no floor vents! Don't like: frig limited access when slides closed. We need 2 workspaces - computer tray and a place to put monitors for work vs dinette. With the majority of ppl still working remotely, are builders going to give us options to put desks? It would have been better that the dinette table would move toward one of the seats to have more space.
Your puppy looks like a tree. Must be a "fir." Just kidding! Thanks for another great video, Matt and Andrea! Keep 'em coming. HERE WE GO NOW!!! lol
I like that the kitchen sink DOESN'T MOVE so the plumbing is fixed and does not move, even though the kitchen has a slide. That's very clever. I don't like that there's no slide out food pantry, when they had the space to do it next to the fridge.
Love all of the storage in this rv. Kitchen is awesome too.
I am loving the lp tanks this makes it so much better to fill
I love the RV size...not too big not too small, the kitchen is great! Bedroom and storage AWESOME! DIY is great! Bathroom/shower perfect! Outside kitchen is great...but TV over sink?😐Plastic toilet....can live with.
You and Josh from Haylett RV up in Michigan are my two favourite dealership oriented RV channels since the both of you do such a good job providing the info on rigs that people may want to buy!
Finally, been waiting on this review forever.. love it.. my only dislikes is no bumper and plastic kitchen sink and plastic toilet.. plastic toilets is so unsanitary.. awesome review Matt & Andrea like always.. umm Winnebago why is the battery disconnect is in awkward location..
Thanks Great !Your an OG for Matts RV Reviews your one of my oldest subscribers... if you see something you want me to review just let me know my guy!
I can't believe it doesn't have a couch,,,🤔
Kind of typical of earlier small WB's - you either got a couch or a dinette. I need a dinette for office space but I get people thinking having to choose makes the living space too small.
You are completely right about the battery disconnect. It's not a working location.
This is the perfect Class A for a one or two people traveling. Matt I agree, I'd rather have a sofa with a pedestal table. I love the outside kitchen and the inside kitchen. Oh and Andrea, when you go "bing" to show the puppy, no picture appears.
Sandy J I know ☹️ Matt keeps forgetting
Good value for $80K. I had a 40' DP and the battery disconnect was in the bay with the batteries. However, it was easy to reach from the bay door.
Spiderman, Spiderman, lookout, Matt's is the spiderman! Negative/ Ladder unsafe points -50, toilet plastic points -20, Kitchen outside, TV ok, Fride ok, sink ok, where is the grill or hookup, points -20, Positive/ The paint, the grill, storage, 100 points, two sinks 100, bedroom lot of room, points 100, the sale 49% 20 GRAND TOTAL =330
Gotta have a bumper! It's an accident waiting to happen!
Great video Matt & Andrea. Nice RV but the no couch or club chairs with trays/lagoon table is a deal breaker. Since most people buying this size I assume are couples, a couple loungers with a lagoon table that folds between or individual trays would be all I need.
Do love the big counter space in the kitchen.
Matt, awesome review. As always! Your energy is contagious!! Great info and entertaining as well. Thanks so much for all of your outstanding videos.
