What you call "entry level" is what a retired couple like us ended with after years of Class C and Travel trailers. We are fairly skinny and it works out well for the two of us. We average about 18 mpg and love the simplicity of setting up camp ( about 5 minutes to hook up). We love to be able to park downtown and in busy cities and park pretty much anywhere. A good firm bed pad and lithium coach battery change made it even better.
We just got this van a month ago and absolutely love it! We are both retired and have made three trips already, one being five days long. We looked at four different vans of this size as we are using this as a second car. The bed was a slight concern because of the size, but we tried all the beds out in each van, and we are ok with this one. My husband is six foot and I’m 5’1”, and not skinny. We fit just fine. We also bought a 2” rv mattress topper by Lounj that fits the bed perfectly. It has really upped the bed comfort. We can fold it in thirds and it fits perfectly above the driving area. I made a box sheet for it. We love this van!
Thanks to Matt for doing all the RV Review routines like skipping around to the front so those of us with OCD don't do a Rain Man when we don't see them. :)
I wonder why they didn’t use a pullout sofa bed instead, and I don’t care for the bike rack, it seems dangerous. I agree with Becky that an induction stove top, would be better. But other than that, I really liked that van!👍🏻
This Van has an Onan Generator which would support an induction cooktop. There’s no option to add lithium from Thor at this time on the Scope 18M, it comes standard with the generator. 😊
This is a great RV for someone who travels alone or with a dog, likes to park on streets in the city while touring, wants the small footprint in parking lots and good gas mileage. As for the driver's view in the front, look at most bus style RVs and you cannot see the front hood, and even the Thor Vegas and Axis have similar views. I don't think this is a negative unless you want a truck style like a class C. I have had several class A from 28 to 37 foot long and finally went to a Class C seven years ago and now am finding I don't want to tow anything behind me. This seems very good for my needs. As for the cassette toilet, I am having to think outside what I am used to with a black tank; however, one thing that makes me think I will like this is the last miles of any journey on my way home. I always try to use the restroom just before leaving the final campground because I will have no place to dump when I get home. This will be much better as I can simply dump this in my home toilet which gives me comfort in knowing I can use the restroom without worry of where I can dump after that last five to eight hour drive home. That's a good reason for the cassette,
Best B van I’ve seen on your show, Matt! I think it’s absolutely perfect! Currently full-time in a class C and towing a tiny car, and if I could make it work, I would totally do this. I am one person with two tiny dogs, and I think this is absolutely fantastic. Make that van tastic!
I need a hundred thousand dollars. I'm 38 and have been dreaming of van life for close to 10 years. I don't have a remote job (HVAC tech) but I'm tired of paying exorbitant rent and utility expenses. I really think this one is perfect for me. I don't need much. Just a tv for Netflix and PlayStation 5 😆 The daybed with a view is awesome. That bathroom is perfect. Idk why more people don't buy these super cute tiny B vans. So many single men and women throwing 1000-2000 a month away on just rent. Crazy. If I worked remote, I would buy this van tomorrow without hesitation and never sleep in the same spot twice.
Like: 1. SOS button 2. Bathroom pocket door 3. Day lounger Dislike: 1. Plastic step on the doors 2. Microwave (Should have been convection) 3. The sofa/bed material
Nothing covers all the bases...it is why people change RV's..this would be a beautiful way for a solo to have a spare car and RV in one...a place to sleep and "go" for short trips and especially visiting family and friends,,,you are no more problem than an extra vehicle you would be anyway...and maybe a little generator noise off and on...spring and early fall...wonderful way to visit so many folks important to you..and oh a clean place to "go" and easy to dump. You could even pull a very light trailer for when you go with a friend...it really is awesome.
I usually dislike class B RVs but I like this one. It needs two changes. Change the bed to a jack knife sofa/bed. I also agree with Becky. I needs a different stove. The cab is great.
Matt, talk about ac, heat, and fans. The bed needs to be easier, I agree. Does it have side cameras? How much solar on top? Inverter? Can you take an outside shower? Bathroom is a good size.
I really love the layout of this one. If it just had an induction and a simpler bed it'd be perfect for me. Oh well. I can't afford any of these anyway. Fun to dream.
POTABLE! Yay Becky! Thanks again for a great video, Matt! I like this van except the bed. No way could two people sleep on that bed, and as for solo, the setup of the bed is not worth it and I'd sleep on the couch. Once the bed is made, you have to go to sleep because you can't do anything else in there. They could have made the van a little longer and still kept the nice sized bathroom and added to the bed length at least. I also would want the steering column to go up and down as well as the telescoping but that's a little quirk of mine.
The "day bed" arrangement is great for me. I wish that the drawers at the floor level ( the ones that going toward the seats) were a little longer. Where do you store the blankets? I would love more counter space (but most vans have that problem), plus additional solar. When I'm ready to buy....I think I'm going to have go to a custom set-up. (More counters, short bed, more storage and that bike rack would have to be converted to storage boxes, + other ideas). So I guess this isn't the van for me!
This is the perfect van for a single traveler. 1 or 2 week trips. Even an xtra couple ft would be good. Nobody mentioned heat or a/c. Or solar options. Bed set up could be a lot easier. Hopefully they'll think of that for next model. Yep, I can see it now-- me and a "travelin' cat" or small doggo out seeing the US.
How about a video on how someone actually uses a wet bath? When we were looking at RV's, and wanted something smaller, when we saw wet bath we wouldn't look at it.
This wet bath is a luxury suite compared to other wet baths…. For a class B it’s roomier than most. I like the closet, however if you want more room, get rid of the bathroom closet.
@@robertdragoff6909 I actually thought that we could do with a smaller RV when we bought ours, but after 2 years I'm 100% we made the right purchase. I would never consider a van, or an RV with a wet bath.
Just his stupid never ending joke… I’ve had a camper van full time for 3 years with a plastic toilet … zero issues … I think he needs to knock it off …
I'm really liking this van, nice n short so you can get into tight camp sites and easier around those hairpin mountain roads. I LOVE the idea of a cassette toilet vs a black tank. Don't need a microwave, rather have the extra storage area. That bed assembly is a nightmare. Has to be an easier way. Thanks for the review! 👍🏻
If I never had to sleep👍but that bed is brutal to set up and take down, and that’s not even considering where you would find enough room to store your bedding😳
Too bad she did the bed without giving an example of length to her height. I was waiting for that. Especially since you mentioned it was single person. Waah
Seems odd to have the "step up" into the drivers cab have two drawers placed into the "step up" that seem to take most of that space. I am sure there is a reason for it, but I find it rather odd. Get rid of those two silly drawers and keep the main floor more level.
Buy these when they are on sale at a SHOW price of 59,000-69,000 USD that's when I typically purchase, then it's a VALUE! If your your RICH please disregard :)

Nope! Because #1 it's a Thor product. Extremely poor quality, poor customer service. Been there, done that! #2 that bed is a nightmare. #3 Cassette toilet.
I liked the van but this man was the most annoying person I have seen in a very long time. He interrupted, talked over, and contradicted the woman. He had to be the center of the attention all the time. I would think that the audience for this small RV would strongly tend towards single women. OMG know your audience . I would never deal with or buy from you. I couldn't even finish the video.
The smaller the motorhome the more you see coverage of visors or things you would never pay attention to with a class A pusher, or a Super C, they kind of have that get to know yourself package, with look back mirrors, see thru glass.

Hey!
I had that joke first!
LOL!

It's nice to see a class B for solo campers. It's an underserved market.
I like the size and simplicity of this one. As a small single person I wouldn't even need to make up that entire bed! 😃
totally agree!
Just pull the bed out halfway
As a solo traveler, I’d just move the cushions, and sleep on the bed! I fit and I’m 5’10”!

I’m so sorry excited 🎉
I don't think the electrical system can support induction unless the van is plugged in, it doesn't sound like there's much lithium if at all.
I’m sure that there’s an upgrade from the company for that.

Good review Matt but I have a great idea. How about you get behind the camera for one or two reviews and put Andrea and Becky in front of the camera.
One thing I wouldn’t like about that RV it says back doors open with you, showering and sitting on the toilet😂😂😂😂
No one said whether the coach is gasoline or diesel?? Is there solar already mounted on roof? If so, how much??
Gas. 190 solar.
It is beautiful but for 90 K and all the potential potential issues w Thor I think 55K is more than enough
