Good video..first time I've seen you two.
Those who add negative Class B comments should not buy a Class B.
Those who say the Liesure Travel Van models are the best should understand that all LTV coaches are Class B+, normally one foot wider than a true class B, almost to the width of a Class C and bigger to drive, park, etc. If that's what they want, go for it..but, LTVs are a year out to order as of last month.
Finally, the 2020 -2021 specs on the Coachmen Galleria are amazing; many previous options are all standard making it a true four-season coach, down to +5 °F. And, it does come with the Truma Combi water heater and furnace in one unit, plus (check out the specs as it has come with this for several years) the "shower miser" that heats the water without wasting a drop until it gets the water up to your desired temp.
YES, we do have a new Galleria 24FL 4x4 with Li3 Lithium package on order and are really looking forward to it.
Yes, Class B RVing has some limitations but also a lot of advantages. We have checked them all out and have made the choice that is right for us and we shall see how we like it.
You guys have given your viewers s lot of great information. Thanks!
Thanks for the helpful tips. All good points. Glad you found us !
I have never made up a bed with sheets & blankets on a tear-down bed. That's too labor-intensive.
I just use a sleeping bag. Unroll to sleep. Roll it up to quickly stash it away.
I’m a big fan of sleeping bags.
I agree, sleeping bags are much better, especially for a Class B. I like what Christian Schafer does with her sleeping bags, stuffs them into a case to make a throw pillow during the day.
Bobs your uncle
Great info! LOVE the way you pace your explanation of features, so much insight without all of the tedium. You two do it really well. Thanks!
Awesome thanks for watching! :)
You do a really great job at explaining things. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video.
Thanks Gene! 😘
Within the first 3 minutes of watching your video, I subscribed! I liked the way you broke things down.
Awesome - thank you so much!
I just watched a video with you both in it about class Bs. The van campers I call them. Very good. They all look very nice and you both dug a great job at showing them. You were like pros. This video was a year ago I think. Very nicely done. Thank you for the video. See you soon! Stay safe.
Awesome Video and Production! Very insightful and I look forward to the next one.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it! - Liz
Nicely done Vlog and camera work. I like that you gave pros and cons, prices along with the specs, your own personal insites, and also compared the features they have to other RV'S. Like the included bloopers also!
Glad you enjoyed it! - Liz
Thanks guys.
Very clear and comprehensive reviews.
It really helped.
👍❤👊
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much for making this video! Very informative!
So glad you found it informative ! Thanks for watching - Liz
I really liked that last on the best. It looks like it made the best use of all the space, and the bed actually looks like it would be comfortable to sleep on, which is the most important thing in the van. If you can't sleep in it, it's no better than a non-RV van.
Very true. That'd probably be my pick too if I had to choose one.
Best for ONE person only, as it is not very wide and difficult for two people climbing over each other.
I really appreciate the pros and the cons you are showing about Class B motorhomes. Thanks again!
Absolutely thanks for watching!
I know this is a 2020 video, but I'm so happy I found you guys! The way you explain things is gentil and very honest! I'm really enjoying your videos! Subscribed today!
That's awesome! Glad you found us 😊
Perfect explanation for informed decision making, thank you
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching ☺️
Great overviews!
Really practical, thanks
I ran around the show yesterday basically looking at the same things. I could have stayed home and watched your video haha! It was good to see the models in person though. Thanks for the tours! 🚐
Haha its always helpful to see them yourself! I love doing tours and waslk throughs. Hope you enjoyed the show (and the video) 😁
Personally I love the Travato KL, thanks and Cheers!
Jon
Cool! I just checked that model out. That's nice it has lithium. We get the allure of the twin beds. - Liz
Enlightening!
The Winnebago Travato KL is what I plan on getting. Love the floor plan and the Volta battery system! Can go off grid with that batter for a good while!
You guys are great no bs straight to the point!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you, very informative.
Thanks for watching! - Liz
Really enjoyed this video, excellent presentation.
Awesome! thanks for watching
I have a folding Greenspeed Magnum XL recumbent trike that can be put inside a large bag sold by Radical Design. It can slide inside the RV while traveling. I always look at every RV with this aspect in mind.
For lighter people, other folding models can be purchased like the Catrike Dumont or the HP Velotechnik Scorpion fs. Room for two of them is important. It is perfect to get set up at a campsite and then ride these around to explore everything after you get all settled in.
Picked up a 2021 Travato and loving it! Winnebago listened to a lot of the modifications people were making and incorporated them
Nice, congrats! What your favorite mod on the new model? - Dennis ✌️
@@EatSeeRV Quiet generator, new car play head unit, bluetooth quiet AC, sumo springs from the factory
Sweet!
You guys are great! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video thank you
Excellent
GREAT🎥video...📹.. my favorite Leisure RV is the SERENITY...
This are very nice but have extended bodies so we didn't include them here.
Love your presentation, very informative. From Robyn, Sydney Australia, the land downunder
Wow! All the way from Australia - pretty cool! Glad you enjoyed the video. - Liz
Love what you are doing. Keep up the wonderful work. Robyn, Sydney,
Australia
Great job thanks 🇨🇦👍
Well done tours and demonstrations. ⛄️
• Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed them! 🍻
Thank you . very informative and well done.
Anytime, glad you enjoyed it! - Dennis ✌️
Frankly if your class B RV is not Sprinter based, you're nutso as the Merc diesel gives you the generator addition along with the superior mileage and that saves much much much travel time with less stops which is a big help. Curious as to no inclusion of the Class B's I've seen with slideouts as that gives you the much needed wider space help and bigger TV's as well?? Lastly any opinion on the electric bed riser option I've seen in the Revel...it also allows for the quick bed and bedding setup ? also us skiers love that 4x4 too
You're super awesome. Love your style and presentation. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Good Video
Great details explanation 🦅🦅🇺🇸 love it
Glad you enjoyed it!
You both did a great job of presenting the vans. One of the best I've seen.
Thank you!
I myself love permanent bed.thanks for sharing guys.
Us too! Thanks for watching - Liz
It's good fun to see how the vans over the pond differ from the ones in the UK & Europe.
So so different. European ones are super unique - Liz
Great job thank you
Good video. The editing of the clips together is works well here.
Thank you! - Liz
Love the last 21’ murphy-like bed.
Yes super great option. That's the Travato
Well done. I would like to see your opinion on the class B with the 2 sofas/beds on either side of the van, and the wet bath at the back.
We did find 1 we liked online but they didn't have the model at the show! We don't love twin beds personally as we like body heat and each other haha but if you're cool sleeping separate it's nice living space. - Liz
Love the video! I like the Pleasureway FL, then you can leave the bed made up and use the front lounge.
Thank you. Great idea! - Dennis ✌️
I agree with you. That is at the top of our list.
Rv manufacturers listening to their customers and wanting to capitalize on the Van life living. Kudos to them.
For sure! Smart of them to listen and get creative - Liz
Thank you for the information.
🤗
great Video
Thanks
I like this so I'll have to subscribe. 😁
Well thank you!
I watched this video when it originally came out and now I am watching again. I like the Pleasureway vans but I wish they would be designed with a drop down bed in the rear that was motorized. Like a happy jack bed or the ones over the cockpit areas in some class A rigs. Then underneath the drop down bed there would be a wrap around lounge of sorts with a removable table that can also swing out to the side. I feel a mattress is a mattress and a cushion is not a mattress. This way you could have both areas and your bed could be raised to the ceiling all day when not in use. By moving the sitting area under the bed this would free up an additional 3 linear feat or so in the van behind the kichen/bathroom area.
Haha thank you for watching twice! Sounds like you need to create a custom RV! - Liz
Thank you ., and enjoy yourselves, stay safe . Prays . amen
We will do our best!
Thank you for watching! - Dennis ✌️
Great video guys. Maybe consider becoming a spokes couple 😜. Great information, clear and concise
😂 were open to the idea! - Liz
A vehicle this size is the perfect alternative to airplane-and-hotel travel for long and shorter trips, plus being able to stop and enjoy the local scenery along the way, while having most of the conveniences of home. A traveling musician might think of this as a more economicall version of a tour bus. It can also serve as a mobile office/sleeping quarters. This is also most practical because you can cook your food and plan meals on your own time, as well as pack and unpack on your own scheduls and keep an extra set of pots, pans and sheets out there for a quick getaway. .
Nailed it!
I like the Interstate and the Gretch.
Great Videos guys thank you very much I was wondering about the Coachmen Beyond what do you think ??
It seems very similar to the coachmen galleria! It really depends on what you like or want. Was there a model you liked in particular?
Eat See RV I love the Coachmen Beyond however due to budget restrictions can afford it sadly the all B vans as becoming to expensive for the common person and the other restriction we have we are both in the XXL size so our options are limited we also thought a Thor Vegas but it makes it a bit tough to drive on a daily basis.. Any ideas??? Thank you for responding
Love, Love, Love the bed, although it sucks there is no where to sit and eat or play cards. I didn't notice if there is room for two for seating, would've been nice to see if the both of you fit there up by the driver area...thanks.
Great people. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for adding the prices. 👏👏👏
Good video
Thanks
I can't wait to get one..
🤔 am I sensing sarcasm?
Do any of these units offer generators so you can use the AC while boondocking?
Great video 😊 do you know if I can park a 21’ ( like the first one on this video) on my condo assigned parking space?
I'm not sure on that one. I would check with your condo office directly. - Dennis
I like the Winnebago 70M with the dry bath.
Nice! What model?
Travato: SIDE fold up/down bed is the best I've seen!!
We like it too! - Dennis ✌️
Yep , 4 years full time in the 59k. Entering this van in 60 mile an hour wind driven rains is not an issue. Go through the back, step right onto shower pan.
We looked at vans but ended up buying a truck camper on a Ram Megacab 3500 4x4.
Absolutely love it and lots of storage with the Megacab. How about showing us some of the new truck campers?
Awesome! We're not very savvy on truck campers. Maybe another year when we would have time to research! 4x4 is so nice to have - Liz
You can certainly sleep on the bed front to back just lowering the couch, it’s like a skinny twin on leg room. Just maybe not on “romantic” nights, lol. I love the travato with the twin! As a single lady who would like my daughter or sister to join occasionally, that bathroom rocks over those mid baths!
Nice thanks for the tips coming from a travato owner! Always great to heard what others like or prefer. Thanks for watching - Liz
The Travato 59G is one of my favorites as well, but it doesn’t have the microwave/convection combo like the K - only a microwave, which is a con for me. I like to bake.
I really like the layout of the Travato G. Shorter is much easier to drive and park. I'm not convinced that the Sprinters are cheaper to run considering the maintenance along with limited places that can service them.
Definitely! Shorter and smaller is way easier to get around and park. Mercedes is probably more expensive in the long run. - Liz
Finally an RV van with built in bug screens! That should be standard on any type of RV sold to the US market.
Agreed!
Agreed!
I'm really hoping the Panoramic RV gets to America soon. Best class B layout IMO. Stationary bed, garage, front lounge and views for days. Hope more get to review it.
That's awesome hope it does for you too!
I love class B’s. So cute! I would actually buy a truck and camper instead. I would have a fixed bed that I can put a good quality mattress in. The bed in the class B’s seem to be covered with vinyl or leather. That seems like it would be squeaky when you move, sweaty when hot and your sheets wouldn’t stay put. That just doesn’t seem comfy, and I value a good night’s sleep.
Totally understand that logic! We too want a permenant bed
Check out the 2022 American Coach Patriot MD 2. It's all lithium battery. No generator. No propane. It is truly awesome and beautiful. Oh and it's very stealth without anything on the outside which screams RV. So it's very clean looking on the outside which should make it very stealthy.
I want a PW Lexor TS and found on Amzn a wood pull out pantry that would fit the coat closet giving me more pantry storage. I figure if I can afford this vehicle I can also afford to stop at any hotel IF..I desire a night of more space.The short version allows me to park anywhere as USA's average parking space is just under 20' . I also look for the conveniences offered in this particular model while going down the road. PW's quality in the build is superior IMO and I see that as a good return on my investment. The Class B is designed for a single or couple. Thank you for sharing the over views.
Well said. Thanks for watching & glad you enjoyed! - Dennis ✌️

Nice job, the Travato seems to be the ticket.
Super cool floorplan! - Liz
Nice comparison video. Pardon the pun, but the Travato G really seems to be in a class by itself. The front dinette, murphy bed, large bathroom, and large refrig/freezer are all better features for full-time RVing. It also appeared to be the only one with positive locking drawers and cabinets. And you could upgrade to lithium and still be cheaper than the premium brands in the comparison. Now if only Winnebago would introduce a class B-plus version of the Travato to get a bit more interior room and exterior storage.
Yes, it is a great option for full time. They don't make it in a B+ but do have a great Murphy bed floorplan for a class C
American Coach Patriot MD4 can solve the bed situation by providing a lounge in front. Not a bad option. Just a little pricey.
Any info on RV warranties? Trying to pick one for our Class B Jayco Terrain 19Y.
Would like to have seen the Leisure Travel Vans but they might be considered a Class B+. There was one thing in everyone of the rigs that I just loved......... I’ll leave you guessing Liz. Cheers!!!
Did you see our next video? It's a tour of the Leisure travel van rear lounge which you're right is a B+ - Liz
I liked the Winnebago. It looks great and is less expensive than the others.
Yes the travato is a unique layout and the price definitely helps! - Liz
(6:46) It's good aerobic exercise and prevents folks from being total couch potatoes. By attaching a brick or two on the table top and cushions, one can engage in strength-training exercises to tone flabby body parts.
😂🤣
We've given the tour, and commented an engine as Mercedes Turbodiesel. In addition to the basic 3 interior layouts by the 3 basic class-B manufacturers (Winnebago, Coachmen & Pleasure-Way) mentioned, could've given other engine options..ie, Ford's V6 Turbo Ecoboost, and non-turbo Dodge's V6 Pentastar. The engine type(s), drivetrain(s), and towing is my go to information and then functional layout(s). After all, I'd want to know which rig will be in the shop for repair(s) or get more road time.
The guy is right about the complex bed set-up. They should install the same power elevated bed that's in the Mercedes Revel.
Yes that is a cool option!
Very nice Vid! Love the content and ideas. I definitely think a class b owner is looking for a small foot print.
Thank you - glad you enjoyed. Definitely a good for for those who want a small footprint. - Liz
Get a Wonder Murphy Bed (Leisure), at 24 feet (only 3 feet longer than Winnie Travato) but they are amazing and I have never seen better design so far in a Class B. I have seen 2019's as low as 80K, truly a design masterpiece.
Trust us we know all about the wonder! We love the Murphy bed and rear lounge models.
very good presentation , very informative , 9 ' 8 '' =
2.9464 meters
Thanks!
The last one was nice except the bed so small I don’t see how two people fit . But I could see it being good for a solo person . Good job on the video good info in it
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes we didn't lay on it but it actually seemed decently large very similar to a normal corner bed size. - Liz
she is a good sales person !
😬
Thank you for the great demonstration and explain the pluses and minuses of the Class B units...after having a Class A for many years, I see that there's many trade-offs. Thanks again!⚘
I think that murphy / drop-down bed is the best way to go about it in a smaller RV, although i am not a fan of this particular implementation.
Nice is there a model you like more?
Thanks!! Great video. What would be a great choice for hauling 2 or 3 kids around? LOL. I know, class C. But is there a B that is good for seatbelts and extra sleepers?
Glad you enjoyed it. Most people with kids opt for a larger rig, like an airstream, travel trailer, Class A, or fifth wheel. Although there are definitely people who RV in smaller vehicles their usually customized to fit their families exact needs.
@@EatSeeRV Thanks!! That's what I"m finding. I know, it's not ALL about the gas mileage. So now we've grown from wanting a Eurovan Camper to a Class B+. LOL Cheers!
We really enjoy your channel. We were wondering does your RV have a place to store a spare tire?
Hi thank you so much!
Yes it does. It's underneath towards the rear of the RV.
Hope this helps! - Dennis ✌️
👍
Great video! Curious on your thoughts around the Regency National Traveler Explore with a loft bed and if you had the opportunity to see and review that coach. Thanks!
Haven't seen that one live but just looked it up! That's awesome thanks for sharing. I'm not a huge fan of beds coming down from the ceiling just in case the break you lose your bed or living area until it's fixed but they are great for saving space and having an easy sleep space. - Liz
We have been at the show for the last 2 days. We like the Travato.. but the murphy bed is too high in our opinion.
We are meeting a smaller class B RV manufacturer, ironically from Quebec, Canada.. Panoramic RV in the parking lot area (he was on the ultra mobility channel) for a superior hybride Floor plan of the hymer aktiv and Travato with 4 season capability.
Panoramic RV may convince me (Christina) to full time in 21 feet versus my desired 24 feet floor plan. ...
The video was great..
Wow! That's awesome. The travato leaves so much space under the bed though and it was still enough head space. I hope it goes well! We'll have to check them out. Glad you enjoyed it! - Liz
These all look great. Until you try and find places for all your stuff! :)
I prefer setting up the bed. More room during day is a need for me
Totally understand - Liz
Chevy express roadtrek what think on them
....I like Class B's the best......
Nice!
One thing about the pleasure way bed setup. We just leave them split at the feet. Really easy to flip your legs into the gap to go to the washroom at night without disturbing your partner. No need to turn it into a full bed.
Yes you definitely can leave split! Glad you like that option.
