Hi Everyone, We hope you enjoyed our video! So what do you think about a murphy bed in an RV? Drop us a comment below and share. Thank you for helping us grow our channel and the RVBlogger Community. Please feel free to ask any questions or just tell us about yourselves. We want to get to know you and share our RV experiences.
Enjoyed in particular the video about Class C w/Murphy bed under 25 feet. A couple of other points that would have been nice to see and /or mentioned on this video would be: (1) The coach with the slide-out IN - in order to see what space there would be while driving down the road (assuming you can't drive with the slide-out OUT. (2) Type and size of engine: gas/diesel; 6 or 8 cyl.; and potential gas mileage (NO RV websites mention that in their listings)
Would be interesting to know what the gross weight is vs GVWR to see how quickly it would be overloaded. Many slide out units leave little capacity for cargo/supplies/people.
We have owned quite a few motorhomes in this range size. To us, the heart of a motorhome is the dinette. That is where we eat (of course), play cards, operate a computer, watch TV, etc. In the kitchen we appreciate double sinks (hot soapy water in one, and fresh rinse water in the other sink). Our 24' motorhome has a larger bathroom than any of these in this video. Also, if you want more space get slide-outs on both sides of the rig. I like your honest evaluations about some of the poorer designs.
Hey RVguy, We appreciate the love and support! That's a great way to look at a dinette area!

I laughed when that rude Karen, knowing you were filming, just pushed her way thru anyway. Lol What I like with these under 25' rigs, is I would not need to tow a car. The size is perfect for a single person...even for full timing.

Lady was there to see the RVs at the show, and is probably tired of dealing with a bunch of “content creators” hogging the rigs for their youtube channel. I don’t think she was rude at all.
Hi R.C. Shooting video at RV Shows is brutal! We try to stay out of the way the best we can. But it always surprises us how pushy some people can be. Especially when you consider the fact that most RVers are the friendliest most helpful people on the planet! I reckon the pushy ones are just lookers - not really RVers. Lol! Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike
@Rocky Arlington well fair enough. If I wanted to be polite yet look at said camper I would duck under tha camera or go look athe MANY others available then come back.

I like the idea of a Murphy bed in the RV, it’s a great use of space. However, in the RVs you showed, it appears that the slide is the full length of the living area of the RV. Having had a slide like this, I would recommend that anyone looking to purchase an RV with a full wall slide, be very cautious. In my 2018 24ft. Class C, the slide was powered by a Schwintec (by Lippert) mechanism. I had terrible problems with it, to the point where I drove it back to the factory in Indiana for them to fix it (after getting stuck, for a few days, in a field in east Texas with a broken slide.). It was a pain in the neck, and the wonderful mobile RV mechanic, Aaron Severin out of Palestine, TX, worked on it for two days and finally had to break the mechanism in order for us to be able to get the slide in so I could drive back east. Every RV repair person I talked to, who was familiar with the issue I was dealing with, and all those familiar with this type of slide mechanism on a slide the size of the length of the RV, said it was a problem, waiting to happen, because the slide mechanism wasn’t designed to handle the weight and size of a large full wall. After telling some people about the issue with my RV slide, I began to find others who had the same kind of problem. The smaller slides, that use this brand of mechanism (to operate a slide the length of a love seat or a dinette) don’t seem to have the same issue. So, if you are looking to buy one of these beautiful Class C models with the big full wall slide, check out the slide mechanism very carefully!
Hi Patrice, Thanks for sharing your experience. This is why our Class C has no slide outs. We wish we had the extra space but we don't want the hassle of the slide out breaking. Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike and Susan
I like your video because you don’t focus on the tech stuff, with every control panel explained. I like your focus on how the space and features used/useful. Appreciate the reviews by real RV users, not 20-something “influencers”.

First time viewing, so I don't know if you cover non-slide out Class C's elsewhere. For me, it would be very helpful to describe what you can and cannot access with any slides retracted. For me, want to be able to pull over make a meal and use the toilet without any set up, slide out or leveling. Very well done and appreciate your thoroughness and actually manipulating the features. Thank you.
Hi Donald, Glad you liked the video. We have not done a video which talks about being able to access the kitchen or bathroom with the slide outs in. But if we have more people asking about it we might start adding that element to our videos. Thanks very much for asking and bringing it up. We rely on our viewers to tell us what would be helpful so we can make the best review videos we can. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yes, I know I'm late coming here but I also would like to know what is accessible with slides in instead of out. Thank you your videos are very informative.
My favourite was the BT cruiser,it had style and the TV was in the right place for viewing. I liked the fact that the sofa was the first thing you see as you walk inside, it's very stylish, open and welcoming.
I love the 3rd RV Because 1. Cheapest 2. The way the interior is setup. 3. And less automatized parts like the one Murphy bed that you just push a button and it rolls out, nice touch but a lot more expensive to fix if it breaks down.
Hi Michael, We agree! Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike and Susan GET READY! We are launching our new digital/video magazine called RV Camping Magazine on June 1st! Stay tuned for our UA-cam Video all about it!
I just bought a 1991 Winn Warrior with the 2 single beds in the back. The bathroom goes from one side to the other when you open both doors or shower on 1 side and toilet and sink on the other. I really love that style. I don’t particularly like the Murphy beds probably cause I like naps too. Lol! Thank you for the tours!
great channel! informative, to the point, no excessive outside rv footage wasting time, murphy beds (not click bait), blooper reel is a must, and i stayed awake til the end! cheers to doing it right!

I can completely relate to your 1 problem leading to numerous issues. Being aware, partially by you, (thank you) of this before purchasing my first 2022 C Class or B plus I opted for the Gulf Stream B Touring Cruiser 5240. It helped me in some ways but, after a while I find some negatives even with having a Murphy Bed System. To set up the sleeping Quarters, Dining room table must be stored away. Gulf Stream did provide the place for it. Slider must go out, then Straighten out Murphy's attitude by flattening him out. Finally prone positioning the comfortable mattress. But, with it down Getting out at the foot of the bed places you in the doorway well. If you don't remember that you might hurt yourself. Also you are right at the door itself. Hello! Finally your fireplace is pressed up against the mattress. Since I exist as a mono owner camper, I sleep on the couch. Yeah! Thank you so much for your insight as well as a great video. So I subscribed to your way of thinking. You may save me more money down the road.
This is a lot of really great user information for anyone thinking of buying this model. Thank you!! We are so happy to be able to help and are glad you found a work around to your sleeping arrangements. Thank you for watching and commenting.
We had a Class C with the corner bed. I definitely did not like trying to make it up every day and the fact that you had to climb on the bed to get to your storage cabinets above. We are currently trying to decide between a Class B and C. I like the idea that the B is so easy to drive and park. I enjoy your videos; thank you for showing lots of 'pretties'. :)
The Murphy bed is by far the best innovation thus far in these small class c models. It just creates so much more space and a larger bathroom. I think the BT cruiser is the best layout.
Hi JJ, We own a Gulf Stream and we agree that the BT Cruiser is the best value and layout! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I like the Leisure Travel Vans Unity model with the Murphy bed layout, it's a class C /B+ with a slide out. You can walk around the bed which is nice and you can view the 40" TV in bed! And at $170,000 it's about $65,000 cheaper fully loaded than the Airstream Atlas .
Hi Ecom Tomcat, If the Unity was at the show where we shot the video I would have included the Unity for sure! But not every RV is at every show... Thanks for mentioning it though because it is a great RV. Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike and Susan Did you see our video about the FREE RV Rental for a Weekend we are giving away? Hope you will check it out! ua-cam.com/video/h_NW_O-VsTo/v-deo.html
Great video! I love the idea of a murphy bed. I nearly choked on the price of that Airstream model...I only paid $125K for my 3 bedroom house on an acre of land(in GA). Anyway, I subscribed to your channel and thank you for your videos!
We have a 2018 Winnebago Navion 24D. Put a 2" memory foam topper on the bed and it's very comfortable. No need to get fancy making it up; everything just folds straight up no problem. No need to move cushions. And yes, with 3 of us traveling, still a few hundred pounds cargo carrying capacity. The Tiffen is negative with 2 adults and water.
Hi Randy, I don’t know how any of these Tiffins are ever sold... Thanks for commenting about your Winnebago. I think people will like to know that. Thanks, Mike
After my experience rving is that I need a full time bed: it is more comfortable then a day bunk or a Murphy bed that makes a bed at night. When I need to sleep, I don’t want to wrestle with anything! I understand why you don’t like a corner bed! It is a very personal decision!
Hi Jucie, Murphy Beds aren't for everyone. And we agree - everyone's RV bed is a personal decision. Thanks for watching and commenting!

No not this year... we are in MD for the winter... I’m guessing the previous owner had it worked on at Leo’s? We took it to the other guys down the street when we had it worked on... do you remember what you fixed on it?
RVBlogger no unfortunately lol I’m not the mechanic... but I know we had that about 2 years ago maybe 3 and it’s a great little motorhome! Keep up the great videos
I dont remember if you did a video of trailers with Murphy Beds. I think you did. The Murphy is, in my opinion, an outstanding use of space in a camper.
Hi Mike, I agree - Murphy beds do create a lot of floor space. We did do a video about Murphy Beds...here is the link! ua-cam.com/video/c3zsTIbcNSo/v-deo.html Thanks for watching and commenting!

I don’t really care for the airstream. The quality is excellent, but I hate the floor plan and that radius shower. I like the Tiffin (Jayco ) and BT cruiser plans better. We’ve been seriously looking at the Entegra Odyssey 26m. It’s a bit longer at 28’, but you get the outside kitchen, a good amount of counter space, an over cab bunk and a huge TV for those rainy camp days. Plus I love the front window and There is just something about sitting by the fireplace a night to read. 😂

The Winnie 24D cushions do not have to be removed to drop down the bed and the reason the switch is in the bathroom is so your child doesn’t drop the bed down on their head! It’s a safety feature to have it in the bathroom. You can also leave all the bed clothes on the bed so it is always ready to hit the sack!
We have a TT with a murphy bed & love it for all the room & are looking at class C’s with murphy beds. The problem I see with some is that the mattress folds so that’s a problem with the sheets and blankets and make it impossible to have a topper.
Hey MJMDE, Great point! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤ Mike and Susan By the way, we hope you will subscribe to our FREE monthly digital/video magazine called RV Camping Magazine. Let us know how you like it! rvblogger.com/rv-camping-magazine/
Be very careful about the cargo capacity on those C’s on the Mercedes, Promaster and Transit. Don’t forget to deduct all water, propane and passengers before you start loading stuff.
We have a murphy bed in our 19 foot Grand Design travel trailer. Bedroom by night, living space by day. Makes a smaller trailer very comfortable as a couples unit. Great vids BTW.
Hi Outdoor Trails! We like the Murphy Bed concept so it's good to hear you like yours! Thanks again for watching and for the nice comment too! Mike and Susan
First RV: If the cabinet with the TV port was changed out to a lift door...TV could be mounted on the front of the door across from the seating area and it would still leave the bulk of the cabinet available for storage.

Nice review, really enjoyed it. Murphy beds rule in the 25' RV. Really like the dual seating - Sofa/Murphy Bed combined with the dinette (or optional theater seating). over the all in one solo combined like in the Airstream and Gulfstream. The problem with the solo arrangement, one may want to turn in before the other is ready and the daytime seating is suddenly converted. What I find amazing is that despite the popularity of the Murphy bed floorplan in the gas vs diesel debate None of the 25' gas models offer it with the 22' Gulfstream in your video coming the closest, but the 24 foot Gulfstream is the dedicated bed design like all other gas Class C's. The other floorplan that had me scratching my head, while probably a little cheaper, is the dual or full slide "almost a murphy bed" where the full mattress queen flips up to a padded bench...good for tying your shoes or something. (Thor offers both floorplans) Why? Put a Murphy bed/sofa in that space and be done with it.

We converted a 32' cargo trailer and our bed area has 3 purposes: 1. The base is a couch. 2. The couch has my husband's tools in it so, you sit on them. 3. The top of the couch folds down onto the base and then we pull the bed down onto the bench part of the couch!! The couch cushions are placed on the floor during sleep time. I love the Murphy bed/living area/garage for tools!!

I’m loving you channel. Good for Susan, training you to make the bed🤪. Seriously though, you folks really hit all the information I’m looking for. Thank you!
Our 27 foot 2004 Class C RV queen bed has typical east/west style with no access/egress on left side. We use two Trav-Sacs zipped together to avoid bed making problem but have typical getting out of bed over bed-partner problem. Murphy bed might be good for any length RV. Large rear bathrooms are like in our old Delta 23 foot Class C. We have never had a problem with 27 foot length. I worry about electro-mechanical slides, awnings, televators, and battery operated recliners (etc.) depending on house battery/charging and extend/retract mechanisms.

Hey Mike and Susan. I like the video and I like the idea of having multi-purposed areas in the RV. I’m not really sure I’m following your logic though. You want a murphy bed (MB) because you want the space that the bed takes up while you’re awake and then commented on how much larger the bathrooms were and how nice that would be. I don’t know about you all, but I try to get about 8-ish hours of sleep each night. That’s a good chunk of your 24-hour day. Although I’ve never timed myself, I could still be confident in saying that I might spend 1 hour of my day in the bathroom. Having a quality mattress for a healthy night of sleep seems as though it would be more important than a larger bathroom that can’t be repurposed while you’re not using it. Also, I would have enjoyed seeing how the beds function when the slides were in to see if they were usable on quick overnighters where you can’t or shouldn’t have your slide out and also your impressions on the quality of the MB mattresses to see if they'll meet the needs of long-term use for full-timers. Cheers!

We have a a Coachmen Freelander 23bb. It has a versatile dinette that can be a king or two twin beds with a walkway. It’s 25 feet long, but we’ve talked about getting a longer class c with a bedroom. Making and unmaking a bed is a pain in the butt every night/morning. But, it does serve a dual purpose. I’d just like to set up our bed just once per trip.
Hi Diana, I just looked it up and that is a cool design...but yeah you would have to set up and break down the dinette every day. Thanks for sharing though! Mike
Thanks for this great video. I like those class C motorhomes with murphy beds. My favourite is the Unity Murphy 2020. But it's a disgrace that none of them is available here in Germany, though most of them are based on a Mercedes Sprinter. If you happen to know a US dealer who exports those over to Europe, I'd be very thankful. Best regards, Harald

We have the same class C rv ..and we use those zipper sheets and bought a new bed for it since it was so uncomfortable!But I don’t like the having to go around hubby to get in and out of bed and the two pups who won’t move an inch lol😂But after a few dealers told us that we will have to lose money we got adjusted to it really quick lol...We went from a tent to this so we got spoiled quick lol!!

I am a seamstress who typically makes skating dresses but have a travel trailer and love to camp. Was considering starting to make custom rev zip bedding. Would be perfect for these Murphy beds!!
Great video. I am super nervous about maybe trying an RV. Looks to me like The Gulfstream might be the way to go. I have done many many hours of video research and online research in your video has been the most informative out of all of them. Thank you so much.

The prices are extortionate. I did enjoy the video though. I choked a few times when I saw the prices. Do you get caravans in the US? In Ireland you can pick a beautiful one up for around €20,000. Hitch it to your car and away you go.
Hi Grey Line, The prices are a bit crazy but the dealers build in 35% to negotiate...so all the prices are inflated by at least that amount... Thanks for watching! Mike and Susan
Hitched trailers & campers are cheaper here too, especially if they can use mass-production residential furniture. However, the smaller you go, whether a Class C or Class B require far more modifications and innovations to fit into the space, so you pay a premium for a more maneuverable or more stealthy RV.
We love the Murphy bed in our travel trailer. It was a must when we were looking. Our trailer is small (20') , so we needed the space AND we have three sides open to make it. LOVE IT!
Hi BluWave! 3 sides to make the bed is awesome and better to not wake up your partner in the middle of the night to use the bathroom too! Thanks for watching the video and for your comment! Mike
6:50 WOW! The rudeness of that woman! If so he would've listened she'd have heard you're literally finishing the last 3 or 4 words of the shot. But nope! She just barges in "'Scuse me!" even though she knows what you're doing! What a rude and inpatient woman Edit: it even sounds like she walks in and chooses to go straight to the left immediately directly *into* the shot instead of checking out the right side first. She even looks directly at you too lol
Hi Troy, Shooting video at RV shows is tough. But people pay to get in and see the RVs so we feel they have the right of way. But yeah - some folks are just plain rude. Thanks for watching Troy! Mike and Susan
Thanks for the upload. But wow, when i see all that varnished furniture, cabinets,lighting, it looks like thirty years ago. Those designers must have fallen asleep. They should be send to Europe for some years to learn. So much wasted space and old looking design. Too bad
RVBlogger here are some European class Cs in this list. They are a lot more modern looking and WAY cheaper too. But I suppose vehicles in general are just cheaper in Europe. ua-cam.com/video/3RMGX9NGgTo/v-deo.html
Ronny Op de Beeck I have said the same thing. I swear the interior designers are the same guys who designed RVs in the 70s. Can’t wait for them to retire 😆
This is the reason that Millennial van builders are absolutely killing it. Bright, modern, functional designs being made by small shops. Only issue is they cannot do much volume. Boomers dominate the big commercial companies, if one of them wakes up and gets some designers in their 20's they will dominate the market.
Glad you did that. It was interesting to see what brands we don’t often see presented have to offer. One critical issue that would have been helpful is the cargo carrying weight.
PS: We saw a manufacture’s tour of a Navion/Vjew showing you do not have to remove the back rests to get the bed down. (Meaning the dinette won’t be buried in cushions), and the electronic button is in the bath to keep the operator out of harm’s way. Both good ideas.
I always watch your videos. You put a lot of thought into what you say. It must be difficult to film when people walk thru your filming. Yet you handle that very well. I liked rv #2 the best.
First of all you did a wonderful job on showing us the RVs. Second of all thank you so much for giving us a tour. I like RV three and I’ll be for the best. Something on my bucket list is to go take a vacation in an RV. This is the second video that I’ve seen from your channel.God Bless, enjoy your journey & be safe. 🙂

Thanks for this video. I would want a Murphy bed also.That huge area where the bed sits only being used at night and unusable during the day is a waste in a small RV. I think my favorite (after watching just this video) would be the Tiffin due to the larger shower, However I do really like the large kitchen in the Winnebago. To bad I can't combine them.

I like the Murphy Bed idea, but sometimes I want to take a nap in a rest area or stay where I can't put out the slide and none of these look like you use the bed with the slide in. I'm glad someone mentioned the OCC in the Wayfarer. They are notorious for being low. One model is actually negative when you figure in passengers and a tank of water. I haven't looked at the Winnebago lately but I know the OCC was also poor on some of their older models.
We purchased used 2017 LTV Unity FX with 2500 miles on it. It has the Leisure LoungenPlus flexible couch d, diet, chaise with a Murphy bedmthat folds out of the wall behindmit which allows us to keep ll bedding andpillows stored as well.Thismunit also has a rear lounge with a corner couch nd TV as well. The previous owners had LTV modify it iso thatnitncan also be twin bed. Greg & Marsha.

You missed the really great Leisure Travel Vans model with Murphy beds. The Unity on the Mercedes chassis and the Wonder on the Ford chassis both have Murphy bed models that let you keep your bed made up when you store it, a great advantage. We have a Wonder MB and we love it. But Murphy beds only work well for people who don’t take daytime naps often and usually go to bed and get up at the same time.
Hi David, We love the Leisure Travel Vans but they weren't at the RV Show or we would have included one when we shot the video last year! Can't include them if they aren't there.

You missed Leisure Vans Unity, which has two Murphy bed models. I like the rear lounge floorplan. Less room fo rthe bathroom, but more living space. Everything is a tradeoff, but murphy beds make a lot of sense in a small RV.

Hi Paul, Outside Storage is key! Unfortunately the big storage compartment on a Class C is under the queen bed (which is always a queen bed) We have yet to find the perfect RV! Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike and Susan
The Airstream is 3X the cost of the Gulfstream Cruiser and you didn't show me anything to make it worth that!! They were very comparable for interior appointments and use of space.

we have a camper with a U shaped seat setup at the rear., windows all round. Two slat portions pull out to fill the floor space to make a king sized bed. It takes less than a minute to set up the bed. We hear all sorts of stories about making up beds like this as being a nightmare. Not so. We have a topper pad with a duvet style cover made from 2 sheets. That goes on the bottom. throw over a sheet, and then blankets/duvet on the top. Bed made. It took me longer to type this than it did to make the bed. We roll up the topper pad and other bedding, put a strap around each, and store the items above the cab. New Zealand campervanners
Watch a video of an Rv was a mini toy hauler. The bed stored in the ceiling and lowered all the way down to the floor. Had two large pass thru doors allowing you to get e bikes or what ever out. Make the bed. They were looking for an Rv for grandma
Hi Carolyn, Some day we will upgrade to a comfy roomy class A RV! Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike and Susan GET READY! We are launching our new digital/video magazine called RV Camping Magazine on June 1st! Stay tuned for our UA-cam Video all about it!
Great review as always, Mike! My dream is to buy one of these someday. I like the idea of choosing a Murphy bed. At the beginning you mentioned that some parks don't like or allow RVs longer than 25' ? Not sure if that is what I heard or not. Frankly, I'd only thought that it might be easier to drive and park if it weren't so long. It didn't occur to me that some places wouldn't allow them.
Thank you for the kind words. I believe Mike was referring to state and national parks. Some have a 30' size limit. RV parks and campgrounds rarely have size limit. Thank you for watching and commenting.

I have a 2020 Jayco Melbourne Prestige 24tp we can tow up to 5k. Not sure some of those you like can do that. You talk about a big bath but really how much time do you spend in there? Lol! We have the overhead bunk (sure wish it had a curtain to hide all the storage! Also when considering a slide out. The coach needs to function well with the slide in! Slide outs do not seal well so they do not keep the heat and cold out! We find there are times when it is best to keep the slide in. We have a love seat. It works out well but a foot rest would be awesome. Our TV is located right across from the loveseat. I noticed some of the ones you like do not have very good tv viewing. We have the option for a second tv in the bedroom and the beds manually raise at the head for that and reading! Good luck in your purchase! Always have to settle in one way or another. They seem to know how to keep the consumer from having it all!😂

I had a 2005 Winnebago Aspect 26A that looked like the same layout of your present RV. Yes, the corner bed is difficult to make but not impossible. My dog and I slept in the bed, hubby preferred the dinette (circular booth style) which was very easy to convert. Then we graduated to a 2010 Aspect 28B - the absolute perfect layout. Quite frankly I see no reason for two couches in a small RV when only two people are going to use it. Winnebago changed all their floorplans about 2014 and that perfect floorplan went away. My brother/sis-in-law have a Forrest River with Murphy bed and bed over cab. they say the Murphy bed is very uncomfortable and cannot use the bed over cab as it really is only for kids. They can't wait to get rid of that RV!
Hi Me Too, I looked at the floor plan for the 2010 Aspect 28B and it really is awesome! But it's 30 feet long. The focus of our video is RVs under 25' to see how to maximize the space and make it as multi functional as possible and how a Murphy bed accomplishes that. Thanks for watching the video and for your comment! Mike
It's too bad you couldn't get the floorplans on the video but they can be easily googled. I really like the idea of a C class camper for the type of traveling I'd like to do. My folks had a Born Free that we took our 4 kids on a trip with. They could do their thing and not get bored while on the road. I liked the fact that they could go to the bathroom without us having to stop and also have plenty of snacks and activities at their reach. They're all grown so no need for a lot of sleeping capabilities unless a grand or two would join us but even they're almost too big to wana hang out with the old folks. Lol. Thanks again for these comparison videos. You do the footwork for your viewers. Have a great one.

We love our murphy bed in our Rockwood 2105S. We want a bit larger coach and have been looking at self-contained units.. We love the Unity by Leisure with the two chairs and murphy bed but feel it might be too small. These are a good option. Problem with the Wayfarer beds is sheets must be oversized to be able to fold up on the end. Don't like the legs either, or that you have to scoot to the end to get out of the bed since you have to lay sideways on the bed. We have never regretted getting the murphy bed for the reason he gave. Maximum use of space during the day.

Do you have to make the bed every time you set up the Murphy Bed? How is the access when the slides are in?
Check out Leisure Travel Vans
Enjoyed in particular the video about Class C w/Murphy bed under 25 feet. A couple of other points that would have been nice to see and /or mentioned on this video would be: (1) The coach with the slide-out IN - in order to see what space there would be while driving down the road (assuming you can't drive with the slide-out OUT. (2) Type and size of engine: gas/diesel; 6 or 8 cyl.; and potential gas mileage (NO RV websites mention that in their listings)
Would be interesting to know what the gross weight is vs GVWR to see how quickly it would be overloaded. Many slide out units leave little capacity for cargo/supplies/people.
We have owned quite a few motorhomes in this range size. To us, the heart of a motorhome is the dinette. That is where we eat (of course), play cards, operate a computer, watch TV, etc. In the kitchen we appreciate double sinks (hot soapy water in one, and fresh rinse water in the other sink). Our 24' motorhome has a larger bathroom than any of these in this video. Also, if you want more space get slide-outs on both sides of the rig. I like your honest evaluations about some of the poorer designs.
Hey RVguy,
We appreciate the love and support! That's a great way to look at a dinette area!

What I like with these under 25' rigs, is I would not need to tow a car. The size is perfect for a single person...even for full timing.

She was super entitled to that space!
Lady was there to see the RVs at the show, and is probably tired of dealing with a bunch of “content creators” hogging the rigs for their youtube channel. I don’t think she was rude at all.
Hi, can't believe that woman just pushed on by you, while you were taping, lol. Great video's. Thank you.
Hi R.C.
Shooting video at RV Shows is brutal! We try to stay out of the way the best we can. But it always surprises us how pushy some people can be. Especially when you consider the fact that most RVers are the friendliest most helpful people on the planet!
I reckon the pushy ones are just lookers - not really RVers. Lol!

I thought that too. A bit rude.
@Rocky Arlington or she could have been courteous and waited a little bit like a normal person with patience, maturity and manners. Lol
@Rocky Arlington well fair enough. If I wanted to be polite yet look at said camper I would duck under tha camera or go look athe MANY others available then come back.
I've done this by accident, realizing then, that the people weren't just chatting.
You put in a flush TV that swings out to access storage behind it - this is a common feature I have seen in many RV's.

I like the idea of a Murphy bed in the RV, it’s a great use of space. However, in the RVs you showed, it appears that the slide is the full length of the living area of the RV. Having had a slide like this, I would recommend that anyone looking to purchase an RV with a full wall slide, be very cautious. In my 2018 24ft. Class C, the slide was powered by a Schwintec (by Lippert) mechanism. I had terrible problems with it, to the point where I drove it back to the factory in Indiana for them to fix it (after getting stuck, for a few days, in a field in east Texas with a broken slide.). It was a pain in the neck, and the wonderful mobile RV mechanic, Aaron Severin out of Palestine, TX, worked on it for two days and finally had to break the mechanism in order for us to be able to get the slide in so I could drive back east.
Every RV repair person I talked to, who was familiar with the issue I was dealing with, and all those familiar with this type of slide mechanism on a slide the size of the length of the RV, said it was a problem, waiting to happen, because the slide mechanism wasn’t designed to handle the weight and size of a large full wall. After telling some people about the issue with my RV slide, I began to find others who had the same kind of problem. The smaller slides, that use this brand of mechanism (to operate a slide the length of a love seat or a dinette) don’t seem to have the same issue. So, if you are looking to buy one of these beautiful Class C models with the big full wall slide, check out the slide mechanism very carefully!
Hi Patrice,
Thanks for sharing your experience. This is why our Class C has no slide outs. We wish we had the extra space but we don't want the hassle of the slide out breaking.

First time viewing, so I don't know if you cover non-slide out Class C's elsewhere. For me, it would be very helpful to describe what you can and cannot access with any slides retracted. For me, want to be able to pull over make a meal and use the toilet without any set up, slide out or leveling. Very well done and appreciate your thoroughness and actually manipulating the features. Thank you.
Hi Donald,
Glad you liked the video. We have not done a video which talks about being able to access the kitchen or bathroom with the slide outs in. But if we have more people asking about it we might start adding that element to our videos.

Yes, I know I'm late coming here but I also would like to know what is accessible with slides in instead of out. Thank you your videos are very informative.
Try to find the video this guy has done without slides. I know he's done one, I just have to search his channel.
My favourite was the BT cruiser,it had style and the TV was in the right place for viewing. I liked the fact that the sofa was the first thing you see as you walk inside, it's very stylish, open and welcoming.
Hi Allison,
We have a Gulf Stream Conquest which id very similar to the BT Cruiser and we love it!

I love the 3rd RV Because 1. Cheapest 2. The way the interior is setup. 3. And less automatized parts like the one Murphy bed that you just push a button and it rolls out, nice touch but a lot more expensive to fix if it breaks down.

The irony of not wanting to fix stuff and then selecting a Ford!
I just bought a 1991 Winn Warrior with the 2 single beds in the back. The bathroom goes from one side to the other when you open both doors or shower on 1 side and toilet and sink on the other. I really love that style. I don’t particularly like the Murphy beds probably cause I like naps too. Lol! Thank you for the tours!

I can completely relate to your 1 problem leading to numerous issues. Being aware, partially by you, (thank you) of this before purchasing my first 2022 C Class or B plus I opted for the Gulf Stream B Touring Cruiser 5240. It helped me in some ways but, after a while I find some negatives even with having a Murphy Bed System. To set up the sleeping Quarters, Dining room table must be stored away. Gulf Stream did provide the place for it. Slider must go out, then Straighten out Murphy's attitude by flattening him out. Finally prone positioning the comfortable mattress. But, with it down Getting out at the foot of the bed places you in the doorway well. If you don't remember that you might hurt yourself. Also you are right at the door itself. Hello! Finally your fireplace is pressed up against the mattress. Since I exist as a mono owner camper, I sleep on the couch. Yeah! Thank you so much for your insight as well as a great video. So I subscribed to your way of thinking. You may save me more money down the road.
This is a lot of really great user information for anyone thinking of buying this model. Thank you!! We are so happy to be able to help and are glad you found a work around to your sleeping arrangements. Thank you for watching and commenting.

We had a Class C with the corner bed. I definitely did not like trying to make it up every day and the fact that you had to climb on the bed to get to your storage cabinets above. We are currently trying to decide between a Class B and C. I like the idea that the B is so easy to drive and park. I enjoy your videos; thank you for showing lots of 'pretties'. :)

The Murphy bed is by far the best innovation thus far in these small class c models. It just creates so much more space and a larger bathroom. I think the BT cruiser is the best layout.

I like the Leisure Travel Vans Unity model with the Murphy bed layout, it's a class C /B+ with a slide out. You can walk around the bed which is nice and you can view the 40" TV in bed! And at $170,000 it's about $65,000 cheaper fully loaded than the Airstream Atlas .

We have a 2018 Winnebago Navion 24D. Put a 2" memory foam topper on the bed and it's very comfortable. No need to get fancy making it up; everything just folds straight up no problem. No need to move cushions. And yes, with 3 of us traveling, still a few hundred pounds cargo carrying capacity. The Tiffen is negative with 2 adults and water.
Hi Randy,
I don’t know how any of these Tiffins are ever sold...
Thanks for commenting about your Winnebago. I think people will like to know that.
Thanks,

After my experience rving is that I need a full time bed: it is more comfortable then a day bunk or a Murphy bed that makes a bed at night. When I need to sleep, I don’t want to wrestle with anything! I understand why you don’t like a corner bed! It is a very personal decision!

Thanks Tyrone
I don’t really care for the airstream. The quality is excellent, but I hate the floor plan and that radius shower. I like the Tiffin (Jayco ) and BT cruiser plans better.
We’ve been seriously looking at the Entegra Odyssey 26m. It’s a bit longer at 28’, but you get the outside kitchen, a good amount of counter space, an over cab bunk and a huge TV for those rainy camp days. Plus I love the front window and There is just something about sitting by the fireplace a night to read. 😂

The Winnie 24D cushions do not have to be removed to drop down the bed and the reason the switch is in the bathroom is so your child doesn’t drop the bed down on their head! It’s a safety feature to have it in the bathroom. You can also leave all the bed clothes on the bed so it is always ready to hit the sack!

We have a TT with a murphy bed & love it for all the room & are looking at class C’s with murphy beds. The problem I see with some is that the mattress folds so that’s a problem with the sheets and blankets and make it impossible to have a topper.

First RV:
If the cabinet with the TV port was changed out to a lift door...TV could be mounted on the front of the door across from the seating area and it would still leave the bulk of the cabinet available for storage.

Nice review, really enjoyed it. Murphy beds rule in the 25' RV. Really like the dual seating - Sofa/Murphy Bed combined with the dinette (or optional theater seating). over the all in one solo combined like in the Airstream and Gulfstream. The problem with the solo arrangement, one may want to turn in before the other is ready and the daytime seating is suddenly converted. What I find amazing is that despite the popularity of the Murphy bed floorplan in the gas vs diesel debate None of the 25' gas models offer it with the 22' Gulfstream in your video coming the closest, but the 24 foot Gulfstream is the dedicated bed design like all other gas Class C's. The other floorplan that had me scratching my head, while probably a little cheaper, is the dual or full slide "almost a murphy bed" where the full mattress queen flips up to a padded bench...good for tying your shoes or something. (Thor offers both floorplans) Why? Put a Murphy bed/sofa in that space and be done with it.

We converted a 32' cargo trailer and our bed area has 3 purposes: 1. The base is a couch. 2. The couch has my husband's tools in it so, you sit on them. 3. The top of the couch folds down onto the base and then we pull the bed down onto the bench part of the couch!! The couch cushions are placed on the floor during sleep time. I love the Murphy bed/living area/garage for tools!!

Our 27 foot 2004 Class C RV queen bed has typical east/west style with no access/egress on left side. We use two Trav-Sacs zipped together to avoid bed making problem but have typical getting out of bed over bed-partner problem. Murphy bed might be good for any length RV. Large rear bathrooms are like in our old Delta 23 foot Class C. We have never had a problem with 27 foot length. I worry about electro-mechanical slides, awnings, televators, and battery operated recliners (etc.) depending on house battery/charging and extend/retract mechanisms.
Hi Gary,
Good point about all the electrical items that work on a battery. I would worry about that too!

Hey Mike and Susan. I like the video and I like the idea of having multi-purposed areas in the RV. I’m not really sure I’m following your logic though. You want a murphy bed (MB) because you want the space that the bed takes up while you’re awake and then commented on how much larger the bathrooms were and how nice that would be. I don’t know about you all, but I try to get about 8-ish hours of sleep each night. That’s a good chunk of your 24-hour day. Although I’ve never timed myself, I could still be confident in saying that I might spend 1 hour of my day in the bathroom. Having a quality mattress for a healthy night of sleep seems as though it would be more important than a larger bathroom that can’t be repurposed while you’re not using it. Also, I would have enjoyed seeing how the beds function when the slides were in to see if they were usable on quick overnighters where you can’t or shouldn’t have your slide out and also your impressions on the quality of the MB mattresses to see if they'll meet the needs of long-term use for full-timers. Cheers!
Hi jlwagon,
The bathroom in our RV is too small so I guess the desire for a little larger bathroom was apparent as well. We want it ALL! LOL!

Enjoyed in particular the video about Class C w/Murphy bed under 25 feet. A couple of other points that would have been nice to see and /or mentioned on this video would be: (1) The coach with the slide-out IN - in order to see what space there would be while driving down the road (assuming you can't drive with the slide-out OUT. (2) Type and size of engine: gas/diesel; 6 or 8 cyl.; and potential gas mileage (NO RV websites mention that in their listings)

We have a a Coachmen Freelander 23bb. It has a versatile dinette that can be a king or two twin beds with a walkway. It’s 25 feet long, but we’ve talked about getting a longer class c with a bedroom. Making and unmaking a bed is a pain in the butt every night/morning. But, it does serve a dual purpose. I’d just like to set up our bed just once per trip.
Hi Diana,
I just looked it up and that is a cool design...but yeah you would have to set up and break down the dinette every day. Thanks for sharing though!
Mike
Thanks for this great video. I like those class C motorhomes with murphy beds. My favourite is the Unity Murphy 2020. But it's a disgrace that none of them is available here in Germany, though most of them are based on a Mercedes Sprinter. If you happen to know a US dealer who exports those over to Europe, I'd be very thankful. Best regards, Harald
Hi Harry,
I would expect that you have some great RVs on Mercedes Sprinters in Germany. I'm really surprised bu that.

10:14 is by far my fav layout. Not to mention it’s affordability.

RVBlogger sorry if my comment was misleading; I did catch the price and feel it’s very affordable. Thank you so much for a great video!
The prices are extortionate.
I did enjoy the video though. I choked a few times when I saw the prices.
Do you get caravans in the US? In Ireland you can pick a beautiful one up for around €20,000. Hitch it to your car and away you go.
Hi Grey Line,
The prices are a bit crazy but the dealers build in 35% to negotiate...so all the prices are inflated by at least that amount...
Thanks for watching!
Mike and Susan
Hitched trailers & campers are cheaper here too, especially if they can use mass-production residential furniture. However, the smaller you go, whether a Class C or Class B require far more modifications and innovations to fit into the space, so you pay a premium for a more maneuverable or more stealthy RV.
We love the Murphy bed in our travel trailer. It was a must when we were looking. Our trailer is small (20') , so we needed the space AND we have three sides open to make it. LOVE IT!
Hi BluWave!
3 sides to make the bed is awesome and better to not wake up your partner in the middle of the night to use the bathroom too!
Thanks for watching the video and for your comment!

6:50 WOW! The rudeness of that woman! If so he would've listened she'd have heard you're literally finishing the last 3 or 4 words of the shot. But nope! She just barges in "'Scuse me!" even though she knows what you're doing! What a rude and inpatient woman
Edit: it even sounds like she walks in and chooses to go straight to the left immediately directly *into* the shot instead of checking out the right side first. She even looks directly at you too lol

Thanks for the upload. But wow, when i see all that varnished furniture, cabinets,lighting, it looks like thirty years ago. Those designers must have fallen asleep. They should be send to Europe for some years to learn. So much wasted space and old looking design. Too bad
Hi Ronny,
Can you send me some links to the caravans you like?
I would like to check out the caravans you are referring to.
Thanks,
Mike
RVBlogger here are some European class Cs in this list. They are a lot more modern looking and WAY cheaper too. But I suppose vehicles in general are just cheaper in Europe. ua-cam.com/video/3RMGX9NGgTo/v-deo.html
Ronny Op de Beeck I have said the same thing. I swear the interior designers are the same guys who designed RVs in the 70s. Can’t wait for them to retire 😆
This is the reason that Millennial van builders are absolutely killing it. Bright, modern, functional designs being made by small shops.
Only issue is they cannot do much volume.
Boomers dominate the big commercial companies, if one of them wakes up and gets some designers in their 20's they will dominate the market.
Glad you did that. It was interesting to see what brands we don’t often see presented have to offer. One critical issue that would have been helpful is the cargo carrying weight.
PS: We saw a manufacture’s tour of a Navion/Vjew showing you do not have to remove the back rests to get the bed down. (Meaning the dinette won’t be buried in cushions), and the electronic button is in the bath to keep the operator out of harm’s way. Both good ideas.

Thanks for this video. I would want a Murphy bed also.That huge area where the bed sits only being used at night and unusable during the day is a waste in a small RV. I think my favorite (after watching just this video) would be the Tiffin due to the larger shower, However I do really like the large kitchen in the Winnebago. To bad I can't combine them.
We agree! That would be a great combo!

I like the Murphy Bed idea, but sometimes I want to take a nap in a rest area or stay where I can't put out the slide and none of these look like you use the bed with the slide in. I'm glad someone mentioned the OCC in the Wayfarer. They are notorious for being low. One model is actually negative when you figure in passengers and a tank of water. I haven't looked at the Winnebago lately but I know the OCC was also poor on some of their older models.
Hi Wondering Star,
the OCCC blows me away on the Wayfarer. Makes no sense to me at all.
Thanks for watching and for your comment!

I have a Murphy bed in my travel trailer. I don't need to have the bed down to take a nap, simply lay on the couch.
We purchased used 2017 LTV Unity FX with 2500 miles on it. It has the Leisure LoungenPlus flexible couch d, diet, chaise with a Murphy bedmthat folds out of the wall behindmit which allows us to keep ll bedding andpillows stored as well.Thismunit also has a rear lounge with a corner couch nd TV as well. The previous owners had LTV modify it iso thatnitncan also be twin bed. Greg & Marsha.

You missed the really great Leisure Travel Vans model with Murphy beds. The Unity on the Mercedes chassis and the Wonder on the Ford chassis both have Murphy bed models that let you keep your bed made up when you store it, a great advantage. We have a Wonder MB and we love it. But Murphy beds only work well for people who don’t take daytime naps often and usually go to bed and get up at the same time.
Hi David,
We love the Leisure Travel Vans but they weren't at the RV Show or we would have included one when we shot the video last year! Can't include them if they aren't there.

we have a camper with a U shaped seat setup at the rear., windows all round. Two slat portions pull out to fill the floor space to make a king sized bed. It takes less than a minute to set up the bed. We hear all sorts of stories about making up beds like this as being a nightmare. Not so. We have a topper pad with a duvet style cover made from 2 sheets. That goes on the bottom. throw over a sheet, and then blankets/duvet on the top. Bed made. It took me longer to type this than it did to make the bed. We roll up the topper pad and other bedding, put a strap around each, and store the items above the cab.

Great review as always, Mike! My dream is to buy one of these someday. I like the idea of choosing a Murphy bed. At the beginning you mentioned that some parks don't like or allow RVs longer than 25' ? Not sure if that is what I heard or not. Frankly, I'd only thought that it
might be easier to drive and park if it weren't so long. It didn't occur to me that some places wouldn't allow them.
Thank you for the kind words. I believe Mike was referring to state and national parks. Some have a 30' size limit. RV parks and campgrounds rarely have size limit. Thank you for watching and commenting.

I have a 2020 Jayco Melbourne Prestige 24tp we can tow up to 5k. Not sure some of those you like can do that. You talk about a big bath but really how much time do you spend in there? Lol! We have the overhead bunk (sure wish it had a curtain to hide all the storage! Also when considering a slide out. The coach needs to function well with the slide in! Slide outs do not seal well so they do not keep the heat and cold out! We find there are times when it is best to keep the slide in. We have a love seat. It works out well but a foot rest would be awesome. Our TV is located right across from the loveseat. I noticed some of the ones you like do not have very good tv viewing. We have the option for a second tv in the bedroom and the beds manually raise at the head for that and reading! Good luck in your purchase! Always have to settle in one way or another. They seem to know how to keep the consumer from having it all!😂

I had a 2005 Winnebago Aspect 26A that looked like the same layout of your present RV. Yes, the corner bed is difficult to make but not impossible. My dog and I slept in the bed, hubby preferred the dinette (circular booth style) which was very easy to convert. Then we graduated to a 2010 Aspect 28B - the absolute perfect layout. Quite frankly I see no reason for two couches in a small RV when only two people are going to use it. Winnebago changed all their floorplans about 2014 and that perfect floorplan went away. My brother/sis-in-law have a Forrest River with Murphy bed and bed over cab. they say the Murphy bed is very uncomfortable and cannot use the bed over cab as it really is only for kids. They can't wait to get rid of that RV!
Hi Me Too,
I looked at the floor plan for the 2010 Aspect 28B and it really is awesome! But it's 30 feet long. The focus of our video is RVs under 25' to see how to maximize the space and make it as multi functional as possible and how a Murphy bed accomplishes that.
Thanks for watching the video and for your comment!
Mike
It's too bad you couldn't get the floorplans on the video but they can be easily googled. I really like the idea of a C class camper for the type of traveling I'd like to do. My folks had a Born Free that we took our 4 kids on a trip with. They could do their thing and not get bored while on the road. I liked the fact that they could go to the bathroom without us having to stop and also have plenty of snacks and activities at their reach. They're all grown so no need for a lot of sleeping capabilities unless a grand or two would join us but even they're almost too big to wana hang out with the old folks. Lol. Thanks again for these comparison videos. You do the footwork for your viewers. Have a great one.

We love our murphy bed in our Rockwood 2105S. We want a bit larger coach and have been looking at self-contained units.. We love the Unity by Leisure with the two chairs and murphy bed but feel it might be too small. These are a good option. Problem with the Wayfarer beds is sheets must be oversized to be able to fold up on the end. Don't like the legs either, or that you have to scoot to the end to get out of the bed since you have to lay sideways on the bed. We have never regretted getting the murphy bed for the reason he gave. Maximum use of space during the day.
Hi grammyyg8x,
