    Matt, I have to say. I’ve watched you for a while, along with many other RV dealer videos. The difference between them and you is I wouldn’t buy a potato gun from them. I’d have no problems buying one from you. I can’t think of a higher compliment to give you sir.

      The fact that I will never be able to afford any type of motor home aside, I would also buy from Matt and only Matt if I ever could . Who knows , maybe I will win the lottery someday....or find me a really nice gentleman to be my sugar daddy and he'll get us one!! I'm just kidding about the sugar daddy getting one for me. We would probably get 2 😊😁🤗
      In all seriousness Matt, you and Andrea clearly are extremely kind , funny, and honest people and I just love watching your channels. And I don't want a sugar daddy , lol. I'm too old to get one anyway

    Great review. I appreciate the honest comments like plastic toilet, lack of auto transfer switch, etc.
    Likes:
    - 2-way fridge. Residential fridges suck for dry camping
    - over-cab bunk. Forest River has arguably the best one
    - Floorplan. I like the nicer Georgetown units but their floorplans get funky. Most of the FR3 floorplans are spot on.
    Dislikes:
    - appliances on the slide out
    - teeny tiny wheels
    - insufficient batteries. Just cuz it has a generator doesn't mean I want to be running it 4h/day.

    Likes: 1. The recliners, TV, and fireplace. I like how it’s separate from the dining area, kitchen and front bunk. This way if someone’s cooking or sleeping, you don’t cross each other’s paths.
    2. The king-size bed doesn’t fold, and you can’t comfortably with the slide in or out.
    3. A lot of storage.
    Dislikes: 1. It has mid-level features and entry level features. Make up you mind Forest River.
    I don’t really dislike anything else on it. My favorite floor plan is the Coachman Mirada 32SS. This reminds me of that RV.

Love your enthusiasm and you tell it like it is Thanks for letting us see all of the great things on the market 😀

    Three things I like for that class A at that price:
    1. Pretty good storage.
    2. That tv and theatre seating.
    3. That combo washer/dryer
    Three improvements:
    1. That wobbly dinette table.
    2. No solar prep.
    3. Uhh... hrm...Oh no slam latches.
    Otherwise it's a very solid class a. Though 7K above that thor ACE, having that combo washer dryer space, hookups, and it included makes up for that I believe.

    Your spontaneity is one of the things that draw people to your videos. I loved your surprise when finding the washer/dryer.
    Likes
    1. Like that bed is accessible with slides in.
    2. Really like the larger refrigerator.
    3. Like the washer/dryer 😁.
    Dislikes
    1. I hate where the big TV it positioned. Too close the recliner and at and angle.
    2. I dislike the absence of auto-transfer power.
    3. I dislike plastic toilets!

    Love that floor plan. Never understood why the sofa always faces the door. Having the fridge further away from the prep area may be a slight inconvenience, but the lounge area more than makes up for it. And I'm with you, that bathroom is amazing for a rig in that price point.
    Thanks Matt!

    You crack me up! Nice review. I took a hard look at these a while back for full-timing, but realized they just aren't made for it. Nice setup for maybe extended vacations and longer weekends, though.
    3 things I like:
    1. Floor plan and accoutrements
    2. Generator
    3. Washer/Dryer
    3 Thinks I don't like:
    1. 19.5" tires
    2. 2 piece shower stall
    3. Plastic toilet bowl

    Things I dont like;
    1) Cheaply made cabinets
    2) You have to walk in front of the TV to access the refegerator.
    3) Not enough countertop space.
    Things I do like;
    1) Combo washer/dryer
    2) decent size shower
    3) large windows throughout
    Suggestions for manufacturers;
    1) add another 6" on each side of the bed.
    2) Put the main TV on a hinged door with some shelves or storage behind it. I realize there is a washer/dryer back in there, but there still should be some room for storage as well.
    3) scrap the roll top bread box next to the fridge, use that 6" for more countertop length. Or a slide out 3 tier spice rack. And sheet pan narrow storage area in base cabinet.

    I have an older motor home like 34 years old, 24 ft C Class. I keep thinking I'd like to upgrade but man the new ones are so costly!
    I just keep fixing up the old one and it gets me another year. It has the old 350 GM engine and its an awesome engine!

  • @riverdog3038
    @riverdog3038 4 роки тому +1

    I like the outdoor storage, the pocket door (but is there a door to close off the bedroom?), and propane connection for your grill. I have to agree with a previous commenter, the TV is way to big and theater chairs too close. I've never understood having a fake fireplace in an RV. You're camping, go outside. There's probably a fire pit right next to your door. It's called camping. I also wish the RV manufacturers would consult someone from this century with decor ideas. Can we do anything other than brown, tan and beige?
    Love your videos. Love that you do entry level rigs. Love that you're not afraid to point out the negative things about a rig. Love that you're a goofball. Keep up the good work.

  • @maryellencook9528
    @maryellencook9528 4 роки тому +1

    As I said in the other FR3 DB video I will never be able to afford a motorhome, what I like about this particular model is the floor plan of the kitchen feels much more spacious with the kitchen sink on the passenger side instead of towards the back; one has an open passage to the back to get to the bathroom. I like the new lighter interior color. I also liked the fact that the combo washer-dryer was a hidden bonus.
    What I do not like about this motorhome, and frankly the 32 FR double bunk, is that there is no set up to wire for solar and putting in your batteries for potential boondocking situations. For any motorhome in the hundred-thousand-dollar plus price point in this day and age, the factory should already have it pre prepped for adding solar panels and battleborn lithium batteries in one of the storage compartments for the increasing number of Nomads out there who live in their rigs full-time. That is what I would have to do were I to ever get a Class A motorhome. Also, I do not like the fact that the sofa does not jackknife into an additional bed for overnight guests, nor do you have storage underneath. It looks like the 32 foot model has more sleeping space than this one. And as usual, I do not like plastic toilets in a bathroom. Again, at this price point a porcelain toilet should be standard and not an optional upgrade. I realize that this is an entry-level motorhome, but how much more expensive is a porcelain potty over a plastic potty when you're looking at something over $100,000. I could not care less about that computer table in front of the front passenger seat, but that's just a personal preference more than an actual dislike. I still think that if someone really needed to be working on a laptop while another is driving that sitting in the dinette would be much more stable and comfortable. But again I am not a full-time nomad who has to make a living on the road.
    Thanks for the information you are giving to us dreamers, Matt. What I would appreciate, if you have them on your business lot, would be a tour of a good class B conversion van, preferably one that's built on a Dodge Ram ProMaster high top chassis with either a 159 or 170 inch wheelbase. I know what I would put into one were I able to afford a build, but I would also like to see what a professional van Builder would do with something like that.

    I like: That all areas of the motorhome can be used with the slideouts in; All the storage (inside and out); The lounge area with the recliner seats, large tv and fireplace; The little desk area next to a window. I dislike: The colour of the cabinetry and the door handles sticking out; Prefer a compressor fridge/freezer; The door to the washer/dryer should open the other way so you can reach inside easier.
    I wish RVs would use something like the Cinderella incinerator toilets from Norway, no need for a black tank, doesn't use water, 75 to 100 uses before you have to empty and it's about a mug size of ash which has no bio-hazards as all bacteria etc have been obliterated. You could also use it to dispose of dog waste and food waste. It would be the perfect toilet for boondocking!

    Hello, I am a German viewer and I love to watch your videos because you are so authentic.
    The three (four) positive things I see exactly like you, no. 5 is the wider door.
    In the negative top 3, I think the passenger table is not so bad. For that I miss the doggy window.
    Thor does not help with retrofitting and documentation for export to Europe. Forest River helps you enough. Thor has helped a friend with spare parts excellently.
    I had a Newell 45 until the summer. Everything was possible, middle door and front door and driver's door, 230V AC, active tag axle. They did everything. But that's another world, especially a different price. But it was easy to sell and sold very well.

    This is the best video you’ve done to date.
    Doing the video on the role spontaneously as what makes your videos especially this one enjoyable to watch. 👍🏼
    My only input regarding product would be is that I realize the manufactures have agonizing decisions on how to cut prices at entry-level products.
    That said I’d be curious how much more the MSRP of a Newmar Bay Star would be?
    It’ll obviously be more but it’s a huge step up in quality.

    Matt - I have a suggestion and a question.
    Actually they are the same thing - in this case.
    What does the industry expect people to do with those sink covers?
    Are we supposed to have someone stand around and hold them?
    Are we supposed to throw them on the floor?
    Do they expect us to find an out-of-the-way place to hide them.
    What?????
    What exactly does the industry expect us owner to do with them?
    By the way - IF!! you ever have to hit the brakes hard -
    they do come off and fly.
    Especially if it's on a down-hill road.

      I like a unit that leaves those covers off -
      because to me -
      it shows a measure of respect from the manufacturers for my intellect. I know they do it for price too!
      I mean - putting them on - is like saying - "all you fucking idiots care about is looks - so here is a set of covers for you sinks."
      If there is no place to put them - then they are stupid.
      Matt - do you know anything about trade-ins?
      A UA-camr named 'Casey Roman' is having a time of it looking.
      Look her up - you might be able to help her.

    It’s useless when driving as you can’t see the screen from the drivers seat . changing radio channels etc whilst driving distracts the driver from driving as you have to look a long way away from the road to make adjustments . A few small changes and it woulda been perfect

    Hi Matt,
    Well what do I like would have to be the room to walk through with slides closed, shower room, and layout. I will not give you what I don’t like since that RV is not my style or would I ever buy it. I am a little more refined and like all electric coach. But great job as always.

      Does your model have the larger head unit and a flip-over passenger tray (rather than the sliding one)? I've seen some 2021 models that have the ones seen in this video while others have an upgraded setup.

    I have the 2019 33DS. Likes: bread box in kitchen fits PS3 and accessories perfectly, Liquor bottles fit above TV, back counter by fridge fits my Breville Espresso machine perfectly. Dislikes: Plastic toilet, pockets doors have broken several times in 4 months, main slide breaks often and has low voltage even when plugged into 50 amp. *I got it for $95,000 new

    Three things I dislike: 1)I dislike the window treatments/cronies in all rv's.
    2) the cabinet over the microwave should open up not be pulled down.
    3) Too much grey & the front table
    I like: 1) the over head bunk
    2) washer in the bathroom
    3) the dinnette with back seat

    @MYTOYMAKERZ 4 роки тому +1

    I am late with my comment but so what LOL. Matt I don’t think many of your subscribers realize how long you have been giving reviewing and selling RV’s so maybe you can share this with all.
    I have been watching you for if I recall at least 3 if not 4 years maybe longer but before you had your own channel.
    Now to my thoughts on this motor home.
    Really a lot of motor home for the money at least in this price range for people starting out with a class A. Sure things like the storage doors not being slam a latched isn’t a deal breaker because your not going around opening them like you are at one time. One thing not mentioned about doors with slam latches after using them for a few years if the doors aren’t built sturdy enough they start flexing from being slammed. It used to be you didn’t slam these doors but closed them like a normal person once sales people realize if you dropped them they would latch it became a selling feature - oh look you can slam the doors now so they began calling them slam latches instead of easy single hand opening latches. Geez 😒 I have owned motor homes without full body paint and if I ordered them I requested just leave off the decals and put inside inside it this way I could install them when I sold it without having those wrinkled up decals that are terrible to remove. Yes it looked bland but better than faded and wrinkled up decals.
    I think the flush mount windows should be an option but maybe the manufacturer doesn’t have the factory setup to give you a choice but still they really give it a nice look. Plus more air flow.
    I don’t have an issue with the plastic toilet hey they work and are rebuildable and put the money else where. Nice size bathroom and bedroom for this size Coach and the recliners are a big plus. The cabinetry seems to be well built also and this fridge is nice still being able to run on propane or electric.
    One of my biggest complaints is the way the generator is mounted every single one regardless of motor home brand should be mounted on a pull out tray. If you have ever had to work on one just to reach some parts you have to pull that 300 pound monster out and I have done it what a nightmare it can be.
    My wife and I started out RVing over fifty years ago and our first trailer was a 1961 used 16 foot Trail Blazer this was in 1968. So we didn’t start out in a motor coach like our now 44 foot ForeTravel Coach but we have owned most every type built.
    I suggest for people starting out in a class A or B to seriously consider a second owner one not own Lt low mileage but one not to old. Some have very low mileage but have been parked somewhere being used possibly everyday of the year but you can tell by the wear or lack of when choosing one. Nice job Matt I must say I am very proud of your success and look forward to seeing you with 20,000 subscribers and more. Ten thousand plus is something to be very proud and happy 😊 also. Cheers

    👍 Smashy! Matt I thought they didn't let you drive these puppies, 50' is 50'. 9:00 comments "blow", and almost fell over myself to your oh shit moment in finding the w/d combo in the bathroom simply priceless. Another thing to add to your blooper reel. When you upgrade to the porcelain potty can it be angled or is there more that needs to be done. I certainly hope that after you stopped recording you didn't find out that you locked yourselves out, cause you ain't squeezing the fat butt through the hidy hole at the counter. As always be safe down there.😷😷😷😷

I don't like there is no storage under the bed, but that may be because of passthrough storage underneath?
