At age 77 & disabled we put two electric lazy boy recliners in place of dinette. We eat out more then in. 4x4 a must! It’s short easy to maneuver.😅
Beautiful rig!
Wish they would build more rear kitchen models!
Thanks! We agree
@@OttoEx 📺🖥❓❔ 🤔🙄🤨🧐
19 footer perfect for ease of parking, traveling and load limits for frost. This is a dream machine. I had a 26 footer with a Ford 350 and loved it. Like driving a van. Great video.
There would be a huge market for these factory massed produced
There's NO bed 🙄 and the overhead and dinette doesn't count!
@@westcan81what???
I just bought a 2001 23ft Fleetwood Jamboree rear kitchen motorhome. It's exactly the layout I was looking for! Love my little future retirement home.
Yes those hubs will need to be locked if you want four-wheel drive, they cannot be controlled through the transfer case that's why the lock is in the hub
I was going to make the same comment.
You have to really go heavy 4 wheeling to bust them hubs. It's happens I done it before. I recommend the best no plastic, all metal parts hubs, Myself I like the old metal direct drive shifting to engage 4X4. Them electric & piss poor vacuum engage just are not trust worthy enough & most important I put very heavy duty hyd winches front & back very well installed. My old lady is wanting 1 bad. She as much maybe a bigger Hunter & Fisherwoman I guess proper word than I might be. Yes it's nice have Old Lady give the OK to buy the best. I checking out the basic platform frame & running gears set up now. But nothing ruined your trip us get stuck & have to walk. We more likely trailer 2 4x4 ATVs.
I had an old Willys Jeep Utility Wagon with locking hubs. And I agree with you. If you have hubs on the wheels you must lock them to obtain complete four-wheel drive. I generally did not keep mine locked because of mostly street driving, but you could if you wanted to. It won't hurt them but it will hurt fuel economy somewhat. And it's especially convenient if you are going in and out of four-wheel drive terrain. You don't want to be constantly getting in and out of your rig locking and unlocking hubs especially if you suddenly find yourself up to your hubs in cold, muddy water.
Not too bad, LOL!
Oh my goodness!!! This would be a really nice renovation project! I can see this rig totally modernized with some updated interior! 😃😉
Definitely could you imagine getting rid of the closet next to bathroom making a way bigger shower love it.
@@brentbeiler7051 what you need a bigger shower for.?? It’s a waste of space in this small unit., just stay home if you need the same crap Yoh got at home., you idiot s want big beds and big showers.,
Perfect size for exploring, spending time off grid, on campsites and visiting cities. Would prefer a diesel engine, but that's just a personal thing. Great video, thanks for posting.
This is super clean for a 2013. I'd love to see a modern version of a compact 4x4 class C like this, but only class Bs come this small in the US. The smallest class C RVs start at about 24 ft these days and they don't have 4WD. I like class B vans but the extra width of a class C makes a huge difference in comfort and usability.
need to look up the thor majestic
Thats what I have absolutely love it@@richnubbz4910
Class B's make no sense unless you're only using it as a bed/bathroom/make coffee. Avoid parking beside them at the RV park because they're outside all day No room inside! Just get a teardrop
@@FrankBullitt390 Plenty of people full time in B vans so it's obviously doable, but there are sacrifices that have to be made. Some people can do it with no problem, but I need a bit more width to not feel claustrophobic. That said, I don't want the extra length, which limits maneuverability. 20 ft is the ideal length for a RV in my opinion because that's the size limit to enter many national parks.
People do it but like I said they're outside from 7am until night, in their jackets if its cold while I am toasty in my bed with my 30 footer that probably drives the same. Again if all you want is a bed and a place to make coffee get a tear drop and tow it with whatever you're driving now, no idea why everyone is fixated on vans @@dlg5485
That's an absolutly beautiful rig. Nice set up.
If it drove like a F350, it would have the front leaf springs also part of the conversion. I had my E450 class B+ conversion done at Advanced 4X4 which (like Ujoint) does great conversions. Best thing I did was rip out the stock rear air bags and leaf springs and have new leaf springs made with 6" lift and actually rated for the vehicle weight, unlike when it was manufactured...
That alone changed the ride from the back of a UPS truck, to a SUV like ride.
F250 and 350 have coils up front since 2005
They haven't used leaf springs up front in almost 20 years.
LOVE the design of this one,..I am a big fan of the kitchen in the rear,..probably could have made the bathroom bigger and reduced the size of the hanging closet,..overall that would be my dream rig
Maybe, I'm OK with a smaller bathroom. It becomes a real compromise of space when your limited to such a short length and no slide outs.
This is a perfect home on wheels. I am sure it sold fast. Very nice.
Would love to have one of these, I already drive this size school bus. Thought about converting one for when I have summers off and when I finally retire. So much in America to see.
That's a mighty nice unit! Seems perfect for the solo traveler. Great fit and finish. Too bad they're not sold in the states.
Rich R-You're right,the new ones weren't sold here,but some of them did get to the states,this is one of them.
@markmorris3579 what does one of these sell for currently? I might have missed it in the video.
@@randybobandy9828 price was not mentioned.
@michaeldigiulio5602 no but I looked at them online and ones like it go for $45k-$50k.
Fraser river RV in Canada you can buy these units 2 Wheel Dr. with 25 to 40,000 miles for $50-$65,000
You have done a better job of presenting this than most RV salesman. By the way, the dinette table raise/lower mechanism is made by Cass Hudson and it a quality product.
Thanks for the kind words and insight on the table 👍
No generator? What with that
@@OttoEx do they still make this in 2023?
LOVE THIS THING!!! WHATA SCORE!!! WITH THE SHORT WHEELBASE AND THE LIFT, YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE!. I WOULD BUY IT IF I WAS LOADED.
I think the wb is the same as any E-350, just the overhang is less
Basically what you'd have in a largeish truck camper, except when you park no getting up and walking outside to get in the camper. Which is not to be sneezed at.
Great presentation enjoyed to see an old camper get updated like the kitchen in the rear don't see that anymore
Very nice , my dream camper for sure 👍🏽
Manual hubs, "but you can do it inside on the dash". I laughed so hard!
With these Newer 2011+ Ford Front Hubs they allow you to keep the dial set to Auto to engage 4x4 from inside , or have the option to manually lock/unlock them from the hub dial at the wheels as a backup s3.amazonaws.com/rparts-sites/images/4c27cea8526af8cfee3be5e183ac9605/b059f0fb81516b77af1b0622d0a2bd0d.jpg
@@OttoEx Not sure I want to run down the HY at 75 MPH for hours with my front axles locked in. Kind of how I use all 5 current ford trucks with manual 4X4.....I prefer the knob on the hub.
The manual hubs are there for a reason. They are a great option
Thanks for showing it, nice video. I highly doubt it's more insulated than anything else. You can only do so much with a 2-in wall.
Really cool rig , thanks for posting 👍
This is so awesome, I’d love to have one of these.
Love these smaller classes but I wish they would have a more dedicated sleeping area I realize that the footprint doesn't allow for a full-time bed but they could give the cab over the same treatment as a truck camper with a true north to south mattress
Very nice unit! I converted my 2003 Travelare 220-T E450 to an F450 4x4 front Clip(leaf Springs) Same Dana super 60, Cummins 5.9 12valve Perfect tow platform! Love the go anywhere feature!
Make a video
hy ride disßel
I totally need this. my aunt lived well in one for years if I remember correctly
Talk about exactly what I want WOW
Amazing little rig! Definitely want one.
Finally I found a channel that makes the sized RV I have be4en looking for! Thank you!
Very well done video. I sure would like to have some thing like that. It seems like it’s been very well cared for.
How high? How heavy? How wide? Why don’t they put a window on the front? Facing east and having a beautiful sunrise wake you up is great. Plus riding up top is more enjoyable when you can see where you’re going. I have a K20 with a 9.5 slide in camper. Running the beach is great. Am assuming the weight is about 10,000 lbs. didn’t hear how big the water, black and grey tanks were. How much propane? Am looking at this and comparing it to mine, and the only good thing on this is being able to get into the living quarters without going outside. (I use to be able to squeeze thru the back window). It was nice seeing back up lights, big and bright enough to illuminate behind you.
Love this. This is my favorite floor plan.
Glad you like it!
very surprising not to see a TV mount.
reskin that beast into an artic overlander with some brush guard bumpers and extra gear hookups (wench, recovery hooks, tanks, tools and hunting gear whatever), outdoor kitchen, 270 degree batwing awning with optional tent walls to maximize your all season outdoor living space, upgrade all outlets for USB, 12vDC, 115vAC, boondock roof top solar system. surround led lighting system with all around cam viewing.
You ought just get a different rig. Rather like saying nice house, now gut it and lets replumb it, rip out al the electrics, take out all the walls, bring it down to studs, add a new roof, escape hatches, secret passages, a lab, workshop, relandscape and gold leaf it all. perfect RV.
I really enjoyed the video. Keep it up
Love this. It’s beautiful
Great van. Nice setup. Really line that camper. New follower here. Crow✌️
Omg I love it wish i had it n travel to alot of places n go outdoors
Love the rear kitchen!
I would love to live in this full time. Love the loft bedroom ❤❤
Love the fact it's a 4x4! I like it!
~Provan Tiger Motorhome 4x4 and also EarthRoamer.
Man, thats exactly what im looking for. Small and 4x4..... Thats Awesome!! Be perfect for my needs
I have the 23 foot one, drive it in center city NYC all the time. With my back 2 foot grille platform as well. 23 and under for a 4x4 is the best size

I LOVE the rear kitchens and they are so hard to find in the new rigs!
Until you hit a big bump. The rear kitchens were also cursed by many actual owners. We had a rear kitchen 5th wheel,,,,,,,, nothing glass in the kitchen,,, at all. If it’s not secured down in the cabinets or drawers, it will fly up, then down and imagine all 8 dinner plates busted. We knew better but got tired of the mess (we lived on miles and miles of gravel roads to get anywhere and yes they could get rough.). We did break some things, but the groceries had to be sealed shut, etc. it can be a challenge and the majority don’t like rear kitchens. That’s why they are hard to find. This van is nice and short so it won’t be as bad, but the farther the rear overhang, the worst it is.
My ideal vehicle. Really perfect for my needs.
You would think a 4X4 class C would have solar or at least a generator since the intent is to not always stay at pavement RV campgrounds. Other than that nitpick, overall, I like it.
I agree. Generators are a must, when I purchase. Rolling blackouts in campgrounds isn’t rare, in summer heat.

I bet it's gone already.
Someone got lucky.
Very nice unit 👍
For $50k I think I'll pass. I like it but too rich for my blood for a used rv of that size.
Extremely well designed. Toyota Tacoma had a prototype somewhat similar to this one at the car show here in Miami, hopefully Toyota will decide to go with that project!
Biy ot hybrdde 30 mioe ektrrc 600 mioes gas
These is a perfect camper for Mav👍
I had to stop this video at 2 minutes to just say thank you! Thank you for the walk around view of the motor home while you gave us some history and details!
Too many times, folks put the camera on 'themselves' while they talk on and on about the item, before we even get to see it. Total waste of time. I move on to another video.
Now, back to see more of this motor home!
I'd definitely put a ball on end that towel holder , could get hurt on that especially when driving, an rv I want to see more of the outside is nice change
I looooove it.i would change a thing.praying for one
Love, love, love it.
Love it. I would replace the dining with a love seat/couch. Remove cocktail chair and replace with compact wood burner. A shelf over it would hold a TV. I would add solar. Not much room, but I've done a lot of travel and I like redundancy as I've seen multiple failures in heating, cooling and electrical. Also, cork floors. Great sound barrier and insulation.
I’d like one of these 😊
Id definitely vinyl wrap it dark grey or green!! Id take this over a new sportsmobile every time
Why do they always have to add those stupid looking decal graphics? Just paint it grey, all white or silver.
RV graphics are like nails on a chalkboard 😐
They are aerodynamic racing stripes !
Thank you !!!!
They do add about 15hp :)
Graphics cover the shoddy workmanship.
Well put together E-350!
Thanks for the tour
Looks nice. Are the tank dumps four season or are they exposed and will ice up? It looks like a short class C RV which is good for not attracting too much attention.
If it's considered all season that mean the tanks are encased and sealed off from the bottom. Like my unit it has tank heaters to keep it from freezing. It might have a vent to allow the gas heater to vent some heat below for the pipes.
Exactly what I’m looking for
what a badass rig!
Would take this over a 4x4 Mercedes Van any day. would be a lot cheaper. 4x4 is key and most do not have it. Wish they made more like these motor homes these days. its a Beauty for sure.

Good showing great job thank you
Nice.. I want one. Thanks for the video
Been considering a similar rig... using a Chevy/GMC 5500 quad cab. It uses the van body shell.
As for the camper body, I really want to use foam/ aluminum structural panels, CNC cut.
I'm going for an "expedition" type rig, with matching trailer.
....
A regular camper doesn't come close to what I want. No other combination "fits" my toys, tools, etc.
Very thorough, thank you.
I covet these. Perfect size. Used to be Thor Majestic 19G, then I think Coleman had a role in making them too.
Yes The Thor and coleman 19ft units are a similar foot print but built in Indiana by a different company and completely different quality
Love it, want one!
Basic goodness! I like this.
This is so sweet 4 season rated 😮❤
Awesome motor home ! With that you can go anywhere. Maybe do new paint job & few updates on the interior other then that it would be a good one 😊
You 4x4 off the grid and you wouldn't like a couple of solar panels instead of a paint job?
@@garychristison763 add a solar panels& definitely be able to go anywhere
That's a nice damn rv setup! Just these question where is the propane hook up and what size cylinder?
good enough me i rented one for Alaska hwy drive no complaints
What's the tanks storage, and how well insulated? Where's the LP locker?
This looks like a nice super clean RV. The owner must of taken good care of it. They sure don’t build them like this anymore ,today they’re cheaply made.
Wrong
I don't like wet baths and this thing lacks some storage but it really does have everything you would need. This could be a very fun RV for the adventurer.
Awesome rig!!
Thanks 👍
I really enjoyed this video. You explained things very well. Been thinking about selling my home and getting a four season class C. Still trying to learn everything that I can about RV’s

Very nice!
Did it sale yet and I would like more info on it I’m in the market for a 4x4 camper would prefer one that has the bed in the back but would be interested in this one also
I have the ALP 19RD layout. Plenty of those available in Canada. I prefer the 19RD rear dinette, back in and enjoy the view!
Pro Tip: When pointing at someone or something use your index finger only.
Interior starts at 5:20
Really at 8:30 it starts
Well he had to show 3x around the outside. He was in the front, gets out to get back in?
Where are the propane units? I love the rear single wheels.
Love the layout
I think it's perfect. Love to purchase it if the price is not outlandish.
Wish I could find one just like this!
Oh I'd love that as a single traveler ❤❤
When will this become available? Do you have any idea what price range? I looked on your website & didn't find it listed. Thanks!
Hey all - I’m in the Denver, CO area and have just began my search for a 25+ year old JDM camper like the one in this video. My concern is, I’m not mechanically savvy and I’m not even sure what the part availability would be like, but is it even worth my time to get excited about eventually buying one of these or is it likely that someone in the Colorado region can work on/order parts on these if need be? Thanks, in advance! -Kevin
Exactly what I want ❤❤❤❤
Very nice. Would love that.
I love !! He s compact!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
How do you keep the TP dry as this is a wet bathroom?
Really Nice!!
Cool rig but you left out info on onboard batteries, black/grey and fresh water tank capacities and propane tank info + generator if any. That would be helpful.
This thing was for sale on craigslist for a while. Owner was asking 80K
Was wondering....
I was looking at a four winds 'majestic 19g' which is almost identical to this and they are going for $47k for 120k mile units. I'm shocked
Owner is out of his mind!!
@@Dontcensorme898 It's also equipped with the 5.4 V8 which is terrible for this platform.
@@cnguyen32 Why?
Great just the way it is
I would love this.
This is the Majestic 19 or Thor Coleman 19CM - one of the best layouts - wish someone would make it again.
Wow, these are still very expensive units 😳 used ones with 120k + miles selling for $47k+ I was not expecting that.
@@randybobandy9828 scarcity drives up the price
