Awesome video! Thanks Matt&Andrea! ❤️
Matt let Entegra know they should add a gas cover for where you fill up your RV with gas. That extra metal wouldn’t cost that much! It looks cheesy to just see the gas cap exposed.
SWIVEL ! SWIVEL ! SWIVEL ! SHOW US THE SWIVEL !
YOU GUYS ARE AWSOME ! LOVE YOUR FORMAT ! BEST OF SUCCESS !
I love the fact that she knows what your supposed to say... she is your rock!
🤣isn’t it funny we know what they will say but they still don’t know what we will say?
Likes; full body paint, living area (with the slides out), cockpit.
Dislikes; living area (with the slides in), need some counter space, carpet in the basement.
Thank you guys for another great review.
Buenas noches , me encantan estos videos , los veo con mi nieto de tres años y los dos disfrutamos viendolos a ustedes dos y Gracias por compartirlos , ok saludos desde Venezuela , ok
Buenos dias que la pasen bien y feliz fin de semana ok
Love, Love this unit.
Love the colors inside and out.
Love the storage doors outside how it opens sideways. Wish all units have side way doors.
Love the farmer sink.👍
Love the storage in the unit.
Love the bathroom👍
I like the little carpet in front of the sofa for my doggies to lay on.
Sorry guys I can't find anything I don't have have any dislikes.
This unit get a🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This unit on my top 3 we looking at.
Great job guys.👍👍👍
Hope you guys make 100k by the end of the year! You deserve that silver button plaque.
Great looking coach. Likes:
1. Exterior paint
2. King size bed
3. Carpeted storage
Dislikes:
1. Huge sofa
2. Lack of counter space
3. No cord reel
3 things I like
Huge shower
Exceptional space in the bedroom
Big rectangular sink in the kitchen
The couch doesn't look comfy
Could use a bigger window over the sink
It's dark, needs some lighter colors and more lights
Notice NO side valances containment devices in the windows to bump into or rub on your back!! Awsome!!
Finally, a gas, Class A with the power to get over mountains and perfect in every other way. Don't change a thing !!!! Great video's...God Bless the both of you !
I’m just on the part where Andrea is walking through with the slides in-Damn, that’s a HUGE couch and a tiny kitchen counter.🙄. Please, for the love of all food made holy in an RV, give us kitchen counters!
Love the bedroom!
"We hate to see her go... but love to watch her walk away", lol - even if she has to turn a little sideways.
I read comments very quickly as the intro comes out. I read yours, saw the plan and yep; don’t like.
We are actually interested in a floorplan that maximizes seating capacity so a smaller kitchen works for us
That is a beautiful RV.
Likes: awning mounted to the slideout, large shower, bunk weight
Dislikes (unacceptable for the price point): back splash does not run full length of kitchen counter, no storage in the kitchen for pots and pans (remove oven, insert drawer), no washer/dryer
This is my favorite Class A motorhome along with a Newmar Bay Star 3626. Love the Televator, solid surface counter tops, dinette, reclining couch, the room in the bedroom, the paint, the storage, outside and inside, love the wet bay, I really love the kitchen; I feel this is the best stove top around, the oven, the convection microwave, the closet space, room for a stackable w/d. Like you, I'm not crazy about the carpet in the storage bays outside, and I, like Andrea, wish the cabinets were a grey or white. Thanks again for another great review! Y'all are my favorite UA-camrs!
I can be having a bad day and I can get on UA-cam and watch one of your and Andrea's videos will brighten my day and make me laugh....if I don't get to see Matt skip around I'd think something was wrong....I love to see him skip or asking about-Art Deco.... that boy is crazy.... !!!
Outside storage is not enough for the price, also you guys are so freaking honest the RV Industry should learn from your unique style.
Your videos are always so positive, uplifting, informative and fun.. They never cease to put a smile on my face. Thank you.
I love all the extra lighting, especially around the bathroom sink, I love the fireplace, and the backsplash! I love the paint! I hate carpet in an RV!
Love the massive sofa and tv position. I would swap the dinette for a table and 2 chairs to make it more roomy. Hate, hate, hate bottom cabinetry in bathrooms. Needs a pedestal sink or at the very least lose the lower shelf/cabinet looking stuff next to the toilet. They could have made it so much more roomy. So many RVs make the pooping position an afterthought, like they all just gave up trying..
Good job. Let's see the problem with the TV is. If people eat at the dinette while you watch tv. Take a guess what the issue is? Could turn in to an argument with heads in the way of the TV.
Overall very good with the slides out....just don't like the narrow hall when the slides are in. Would rather get rid of the size of the dinet or the televator in order to have more walk space
Hi Matt 👋 and Andrea this Entegra Emblem was really good 👍 huge and luxury 👌 awesome motor home, but is really big for to of us! And so pricey too! I passed the good thing is you're two are so great 👍 💓 you guys!
I just wanted to drop a congratulatory comment. Matt, you have come such a long way, have surpassed your goals, and we are so proud of you! You’re living proof that hard work and persistence pays off. So again, congratulations!
I don't like that the door is not under the same awning as outdoor space. you will get wet walking to outdoor space. I would prefer that the steps be the super sturdy fold out kind with railings so there is no hole in the floor by the kitchen counter. I would like a over the front seats twin bed for grandkids.
I like the seating areas, the larger refrigerator, and washer dryer area.
Another excellent review Matt & Andrea!!
BIG CLASS A! HI MATT AND ANDREA!❤1.BEAUTIFUL PAINT LOOK2.STORAGE AND FLOORPLAN3.GODZILLA!!!😔1.MATT THIS IS OUTTA MY LEAGUE BUT LOVE IT2.JUST LOVE IT..CANT SEE FAULT..EXCEPT PRICE..THIS IS AWESOME KIDS..GREAT REVIEW!❤
Good evening! Another great review! ALCOA....SPONSORSHIP PLEASE for Matt and Andrea! Great paint on the coach! I didn't like the carpet in the bays. The shore power cord needs a reel. And carpet on the slide out floor is still 70's design!! Love the 7.3 Godzilla engine and a huge awning on the slide. Have a great evening! Take care y'all!
When Matt pointed out the paper towel holder in the wet bay, I knew that you read my comments. 😎
Likes:
1) TV location. Everybody can watch. Perfect location.
2) Bed size is a true King Size. Thank you!
3) The huge shower. Thank you for a space that I'm not going to constantly bang my elbows in.
Dislikes:
1) Carpet in the storage, because the storage of stains and smells is a nice thing to build into an RV?
2) Power cord and "stinky slinky". I definitely saw the power cord just tossed into a storage bay with no reel, and it looked like the "stinky slinky" was just shoved onto floor of the wet bay. Wahwah.
3) No counter space in the kitchen. I don't know what would have to be moved or taken out to get that space, but I wish it was there.
I have watch hundreds of RV videos. And this 2021 Entegra Emblem 36H is the perfect balance of floor plan, quality, and price. PERFECT!
Wow this is the first time I’ve seen gas RV with opposing slide outs that is my favorite part of the coach
Newmar has several gas models in Canyon Star and Bay Star lines set up this way.
1) extra carpet added- not fan
2). Replace huge sofa with two real recliners, if I am spending this much $$, I want to be comfy, kids can get a bean bag
3) love sink and stove but those covers look very heavy, where to store them? Lack of counter space
4) bed on drivers side
5). Too dark inside
6). What’s with all the tiny cabinets? Not useful. The one big cabinet over sink has equipment on the left. Do again not practical and we need space dice drawers are tiny too
7) light carpet in storage, what were you thinking. It will dirty in no time
8). Storage under seat in dinette-so not using that and no hinges on plywood top to make us somewhat useful
9) has and not diesel. Will be driving from gas station to gas station
1) TV placement is great
2) Slide outs make it huge
3) Oven and convection
4) Size of fridge
5) size of awning and that it’s on the slide out
Spacious with slide out( a little cramped with then in, but could live with that
6, swivel pilot and copilot seats
7). Best like of all us you guys!!! Keep them coming!!
Nice size bedroom
Shower is great
Dislikes
1). It’s dark inside
2).
It is huge. Looks like a stationary house. That is a great thing if you plan to stay at a campground for an extended period of time. Would be nice to review the cab/driving area. Wouldn’t be practical for me! Don’t like the outside area pertaining to space. Seen much better setup on smaller RVs. Like the outside doors to storage areas to be vertical plus magnetic or something to stay in place when removing items etc. It probably is a gas hog! Definitely not National Park material. I plan to go to the meetup! I enjoy Andrea’s input plus your input Matt! I will probably make a day in Richmond on Tuesday!!!!! Plan to go to General RV too!!!! I basically know what model RV that I am interested in. Been looking at UA-cam videos.
Love they put the awning ON the slide out!! Love the oven and conv microwave, nice big shower, and bathroom counter space. Dislike the very limited room with the slides in, TV location in bedroom is not central to the bed, carpet- Andrea got it right and in the storage areas. Otherwise, very nice coach
Hello, we like the review. Dislikes include: sofa does not have a hidden bed; cannot order solar panels from the factory; dashboard screen is too small; that is slopes down and cannot order Navigation from the factory. Likes include: available stackable washer and dryer; storage in the bedroom; available drop-in stove; roof ladder. Best, Steve and Deb from Western Mass.
FINALLY a bed that us over 6 ft can sleep in👍🏻
That sofa is 120 inches. In case you have a non-paying customer.
Needs kitchen outside buy then
Matt, LOVE you and Andrea. Never heard of General RV until I started watching you. That company had better be paying you a hell of a lot of money because you two are stars. This video illustrates something though. Buy yourself a drone, and use that to take the roof video. STOP climbing up those ladders Matt, you are surely going to fall one day soon if you keep climbing ladders every time you shoot these videos. General RV should buy you a drone today, they should insist you use it, you are way too valuable to them Matt to fall off a ladder for a dumb shot of the roof...get that DRONE now. You two are the BEST OF THE BEST!
This coach is really beautiful. My 3's:
Likes:
1. The exterior paint and aening.
2. Floor plan is great.
3. The bedroom!!!
Dislikes:
1. Carpet in storage bays.
2. Not much room to walk thru with slides in. I am trying to picture us traveling in it with our GSD and 2 Labs...
3. Wish it was a diesel.
Thanks.
Hey Entegra.... please update the cabinetry... still looking 1980’s.. that’s my only negative.. 'European’ style and lighter colors are timeless... I love the one piece rectangle galley sink, oven, fridge and convection microwave
Needs a 7k gen, white interior option, truma hot water heater, and better dash with 2 screens for back up for this price
I am really starting to like Entegra. One thing I noticed and dislike about this RV is the small windows. There are a lot of windows but they are all small. I think that contributed to the dark feeling inside. I miss the larger windows on the older class A RVs. I like being able to park at a gorgeous spot and enjoy the view even if I am only making morning coffee or I am stuck inside because of weather.
Love this motorhome! The only thing I don’t like is no auto roll up for electric hookup. And the other thing is carpet in the storage outside and a little inside. Other than that it’s a great motorhome. Thank you Matt and Andrea.
See you soon! Stay safe!
Negative No Cord Real, Over head bunk hits the seat, Love full body paint, kitchen fireplace and TV placement
- place for shoes near the door? Nobody is going to care about half of the storage under one of the benches being swapped for that feature. Also, rubber mat in that cubby.
- where do I put a game system for that awesome TV?
- if the front seats folded forwards, the loft could drop down MUCH lower, making it a good 2nd bed.
+ lovely exterior for the price. Compare this to a class B for 30K less.
+ Bedroom qualifies as a bedroom
+ Kitchen is fine. Need some place to store those heavy covers, though.
OK! TWO THUMBS UP FOR THIS ONE 👍👍!!!
DISLIKES
1) Rather than having a separate awning for the door, Why not just extend the big awning over to it ? It would make a LOT more sense than that SMALL awning over the door.
LIKES
1) LOVE Andrea's blouse !!! Very pretty. Love the colour too !!!
Thank you ☺️
First dislike needed a power cord reel. Should have had a tankless hot water heater instead of only a 6 gallon. I didn't like the engineering of the drop-down bed hitting the passenger seat. I thought about that actually ran into Terror three things I loved were the whole front room and kitchen setup. The whole bedroom. The whole bathroom.
I guess congrats are in order, Andrea, on being BA too 😃 You have been putting the time in...
I dislike tv height outside - that's more barstool height, not for folding chairs; cabinets on bunk rub on chairs; middle seats on sofa aren't trifold sleeper, would be nice as option. I have more, but keeping it to 3.
Like the fridge, didn't hear inverter wattage for it; like the cab tweaks, legroom and such; that roof fairly clean, can fit 800w solar pretty easily, it looks.
Dislikes first. 1) I think that the camera system screen needs to be at a higher eye level than it is. 2) How hard is it to design a bunk over the cab that doesn't rub or hit the front seats? 3) Lack of kitchen counter space...lame.
Likes: 1) TV location across from huge couch is great!!! Game Day Ready GBR!!! 2) Love that the awnings are attached to the slides so you don't lose space. 3) I agree with Matt that the back bedroom is great with lots of space.
Other than the carpeted spots in/out of this rig, for me it's almost perfect for me/my family for Full-timen!! Love you guys, you keep it real!!!
The bedroom is amazing and the residential fridge🥰
Looks great. Although, I think they should redesign the driver and passenger seats so the bed above can be lowered without turning the seats.
Love the paint job, the kitchen, the new Dashboard, the pop up tv,( Nexus take notes). The fiberglass roof. Love the shower too. Dislike , no 50 amp power reel, no solar, carpet.
Really great coach....I dislike how low the multi-function screen is on the dash- seems like one would have to look far down to see the camera views and radio controls. I’d add the washer/dryer and the reel for the power cord, along with solar panels.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MODEL!!!!!! I'm bigger than Wil, and this is the only shower that works for me. TY TY TY for including us big guys in the mix. Love the extra-long couch. Love the price. Dinette needs more room from table edge to back. I even took out the back cushion and still didn't have enough room. Nothing wrong with making the table smaller. So we'll need to carry a chair. Looking forward to the day we can pull the trigger on this Matt and especially buying it from you!!!
Great review , as always !!
Things we love
Bed is usable when slides are in
The big sofa is wonderful
TV is easily viewable by all seats
Things we dislike
No plugs for counter top use
Do not like carpet in storage underneath
No reel
And have to agree about the carpet in front of the sofa and the lack of light
Thanks for another great review! We love seeing everything out there to help us decide what we want !
That Entera is Beautiful and spacious. Like the outside storage and the residential Fridge, and the bedroom is really nice; the ladder on the outside is also really nice. My only dislike is that i cannot afford one :-(
outstanding camera work on Andrea re-entering the unit. I can see owning one of these
Y'all sure are a lot of fun to spend time with!
Yes 🤣 we are a mess
Three things I don’t like...not real sure if I can get to the bathroom with the slides in(I am on a cane), the carpet in the storage areas, and it is a little dark inside. Three things I like are...it has an oven, I think my 6’5” son can fit in the shower and on the bed and I like the big couch. Even with the dislike of not sure about getting to the bathroom with the slides in, I think this one might have to go on my list.
For the quality you get in this Mobile home for around 150 thousand this very close to a home living in a house and for this price you can travel and live in it. This is the best of both worlds and if you can get it like a house payments to buy for this travel trailer is the bomb. We have the best speakers here telling us the good and bad giving about it and give a honest review we can believe in. Matt and andrea is the best 👍❤
Thanks for watching Robert:)
Hey guys! Hey, they have a ladder, I want one! Still have carpet in bays(wawa), still don’t have power reel (wawa), camera screen still to low to be much use (wawa), fixed the pull out tray (2020 stinks), chairs still get in way of bunk (wawa), Andrea still laughs at your art deco face!, Ya’ll take care and enjoy the meet up!
Likes
Bunk over cab capacity
Televator placement
Nice fireplace
Big sink
Oven AND a convection microwave
Residential fridge
Glass door on the shower
Prepped for stackable W/D

1: Nice kitchen with nice appliances and high-end countertops

I haven’t seen a class A that I’ve loved, but, seriously, this one, I would TOTALLY purchase this one!
I have lots of pets, too! 😂
I’m not well versed in RV stuff for the outside, but I’m all about the inside!
Love this RV. The wife and I was introduced to the Entegras at the Hershey show and fell in love. We love yours and Andreas reviews. We will be fultiming next year and be looking to upgrade our current RV.
Please use a split farm sink. It cuts down on water usage when doing dishes.
I love Matt & Andrea you both have made me an Entergra fan. 3 things I dislike is the carpet in the cargo area, I wish the cover on the stove was the folding, the tv & window in the bedroom needs to switch places. 3 things I like is the space with the slides in, foot space in the co captain chair & the space in the bathroom shower. Please keep up the good work.
Good looking unit inside and out.
Likes: high weight bunk, televator, love that king size bed AND it doesn’t fold.
Dislikes: too tight with the slides in. Should have a tankless water heater - a six gallon is CHEAP. Flimsy desk in co-pilot’s seat. Like you, I don’t like the carpet in the outside storage, and it definitely should have a cord reel.
tankless is better I agree.
Favorite so far.
I really wanted to like this, i really did... 1. needs 3 ACs for its size, 2. whats with those dinky storage cubbies above the slides? 3. That wetbay needs separation between fresh/potable and the black/grey, too easy to spread contaminants.. 4. That 50 amp cord needs to be on a reel. 5. The slide carpet/tile transition seems especially wide.....anyway at this price point i wanted better...
The Emblem has a macerators system, the stinky slinky is only a emergency back-up. The coach has 4 waste valves, 2 of which are forward of the rear wheels. They bay is very sanitary.
The 2 AC's are more than adequate. Even on the hottest days here in Florida we're comfortable in our Jayco 36U. BTW the Entrega is built by Jayco motorized division.
John Higgins I agree. I have a 40ft and 2-15k units will keep it nice and cool even in direct sun. They will pretty much run none stop but I can keep the coach cool and dry...and I have to keep it cool as I hate hot ;)
I love watching you two. Thank you for sharing. God bless you both and be safe. Praying for you both and safe travels
Thank you ☺️
COME ON, GIVE US 100 GAL FRESH WATER, 60 GREY AND 55 TO 60 BLACK STORAGE TANKS!!!
NOTHING LESS!!!
I like Matt and Andrea the sink is nice also.😍
Can they do away with the cheap plywood under the cushions. Think they could step up for nice cushions.other wise I like it.
Love the drawers where washer dryer goes, put w/d on closet floor
I really like the valence pattern & the generous windows. Also, I can’t argue with a televator because it is a great use of space. Ouch! That is expensive for me. Maybe a used version later. Nice kitchen!
Love the TV placement and the huge shower with a seat
Dislike the carpet in the cargo bays, dislike the lack of space when the slides are in. Dislike that dinette entirely. The cocaptain area is nice. Love the bathroom, like the overall sleeping spaces. This RV isn’t for traveling; it’s for parking and leaving it there.
I really love this RV! Now for 3 things I like and 3 things I dislike.
Dislike:
1. Do not like the carpet in the storage areas. That is a mess waiting to happen. Also, I agree with Matt and Andrea, there needs to be a reel for the power cord in the storage area.
2. Do not like the carpet in front of the sofa area.
3. Not sure if this is accurate. I didn’t see a charging station next to the nightstands.
Love:
1. Love the inside layout. It would be perfect for full time or part time use.
2. Love that they have put both the convection oven and regular oven in the kitchen. Bonus the regular oven is bigger than a lot of RV ovens.
3. Love the bathroom and bedroom! Lots of space!
Too bad I live in California or I would love to come to your meet and greet. Have fun!
You two are fun to watch. I like the RV overall however I'm more inclined to favor the 6.7 diesel for longer life span and the one other disappointment is the location of the backup screen, it's too low. Thanks!
Doesn’t the carpet in the storage compartments keep your cargo from sliding around in transit? I’m not seeing any hooks mounted in any basement storage areas where bungee cords could attach to. I like the carpet.
The reason for the carpet in the bays? Quiet factor and protection. A plus for us, personally. If the bays are not packed tight or things aren't properly strapped down, movement of items is loud and bothersome going down the road. I prefer carpeted bays and the carpet is usually an indoor/outdoor carpet (easier to clean). Sure, it's something else to keep clean but if you're neat freaks like we are, you already keep cleanliness in mind when packing the bays. I like everything about this motorhome except the lack of a reel for the 50 amp cord (and that bay should NOT be carpeted). That's a total miss by Entegra and surprising. In order for me to consider buying this model the dealership would have to install an after-market reel (with a warranty) at their cost. Shouldn't be a reason to discount this model but when you're loading up from a campsite and the weather isn't good, that cord without a reel becomes a big deal.
I think rubber grip mats would be better than the carpet in the storage
@@andreafoxcroft8420 - Truthfully, it all depends on what you're stowing. Heavy equipment, bikes, anything that would generate dirt or grime then, yes, rubber grip mats are great. We put everything into plastic tubs (large and small) and we don't haul heavy equipment so the carpet works great for us. Also, carpeting in the bays help reduce road noise.
dislike 1no silverware draw 2 i am 230lbs very small walk way when slides are in, 3 need a reel for the 50 amp cord. likes huge rv when slides are out 2 love the awning placement 3 frig is huge over all very nice class A one of the best I have seen 2021.
Dislike the narrow path when the slide is in, dislike the carpeting.
Like the layout with the dinette with window on the door side, like the space in the RV when slides are out. Love the paint on the body.
Matt and Andrea, were the light sconces “art decco”? :)
Very nice paint, good storage, not a fan of the carpet 👎👎,in the compartments, wow what a huge couch, 👍👍, the video camera screen is a little low, interior colors are nice, could use a little more counter space, backsplash is nice, bathroom is very nice, 👍👍, great bedroom, and the washer and dryer prep 👍👍, nice wet bay.. needs a power cord reel with no carpet in the compartment 👎👎, over all a very nice motorhome, nothing is a deal breaker, stay safe you two
I like the macerator, kitchen, and the bathroom. I don't like the carpeted storage bays, no cord reel, and dark wood.
Dislike carpet in storage bays bad, no reel for cord small cabinets for storage above. Like large shower , inside living space and washer/ dryer ready. Great job be safe on your travel back east.🐱👤🐶
I hope I can make it to the meet and greet! Cons. I agree about the (1) cord reel (2) the carpet in the storage bins and in the interior. (3) kitchen counter space. Likes (1) price (2) bedroom (3) couch. Are there power outlets and usbs by the bed?
We own a 2019 Emblem. I disagree with Andrea, the lights are almost too bright for us. I don’t mind the carpet in the storage bays, and the carpet inside. I do agree about the power cord reel, we may add one. And we LOVE or macerator!
I looked the Emblem up on rvinsider.com and the reviews were pretty harsh. What has your experience on build quality and factory support?
We’ve had a good experience. 1) The folks at Entegra/Jayco have been very helpful over the phone and provided us with information and drawings. 2) We’ve had some minor quality issues, but the dealer has fixed them all and all under warrantee.
A couple things I’d do, no matter the RV.
A) take it out to a local RV Park and use that time to read all the manuals (8” worth) and look at everything in and under the coach. Look for anything loose, hanging down, or out of place. Test out the stove, oven, furnace, fireplace, water heater, fans, AC, etc. You can slo use that time to organize and fit out the coach. Make a punch list to ask the dealer to inspect/repair.
B) With the Emblem learn how to use the macerator. It’s easy but there is very little literature on it.
C) If possible find a local dealer that has a decent reputation, someone you can connect with. If you buy from a remote dealer your local dealer may not be willing to do warrantee work, and may be less responsive.
Our biggest issue was one of the connectors to the inverter became loose when a container shifted in the basement. We lost power to almost all 120V stuff on the passenger side. They did fix it and make it more secure and I’ve placed a low container there to ‘protect’ it.
We also have a problem with the 36H super slide. It would stick and needed help to open and close. The kitchen is in that slide so there are water lines and power lines than need to move. We think a cable got pinched under the slide causing it to drag. The dealer fixed it.
We love our coach, especially the residential refrigerator and the washer / dryer. The kitchen counter is small, but I manage. We have the 3 seat sofa and recliner. We’d like to change out the sofa for theater seats but that will be a future change. We love all the storage, it’s about the best we’ve seen in a gas motorhome.
@@fredericrmerchant1355 Thanks for the additional information. Did you get any literature on the TuffShell™ vacuum-bond laminated walls, roof, and floor? From the name, you would assume it would be a protective measure worth bragging about.
@stirngs1955 There was nothing about Tuff-shell in any of the literature. I’d frankly never heard of it until you mentioned it. I know it’s not Azdel.
@strings1955. I looked it us. Jayco uses a system called Stonghold VBL now, www.jayco.com/blog/jayco-difference/stronghold-vbl-aluminum-framed-vacuum-bond-lamination/
The outside paint job is gorgeous.
Why don’t they have the privacy door that makes the bathroom part of the bedroom? I’m seeing them less and less in the newer models. I either like them or the bathroom in the back that is a part of the bedroom. What models might I look at that would have either options along with a King bed and wash/dryer? I’d like to stay at 35 feet or smaller.
Good evening and Happy Friday. Had a rough day at work, so I'm definitely "RV Dreamin". Not this motorhome though.

2) Basement storage (except the carpeting - I mean ya ever hear of this thing called 'rain'?)
3) Big shower stall
Dislikes:
1) With as tight as it is with the slides in (yes it is navigable) the slide controls should be at the front of the cabin
2) Small dinette - 4 seats on the couch + driver and navigator would seem to indicate the possibility or plan to have 6 campers on board. Are you going to have 6 people at that dinette? 2 comfortably, 4 max
3) TP holder placement. I know Matt didn't seem to have a problem, but that is an empty roller. Put a roll on there and I think it will be in the way
4) *bonus dislike - maybe* If that navigator seat doesn't have the ability to slide forward, it is to far back from the work station table
I would like to tell y’all about Matt. He is very responsive. I text he on Wednesday about a class b and he call me back by Thursday afternoon.
I would like to thank him and hope in the future we will be able to do business.
Thank you again.
Matt, Please review the aria 3901 while in VA
One of the nicest class A I have seen at that price.
Hi Matt & Andrea,
Likes-bedroom, bathroom, sofa, countertops
Dislikes-carpet on floor, carpet in the storage, dark cabinets
The 4 things I like about this motorhome:1. the exterior: the paint job, aluminum slam latch baggage doors, big awning and it's on the slide2. the interior layout: dinette on the camping side, TV is directly across from the sofa, fireplace3. the bedroom: opposing slides, bed does not tilt up when the slides are in, plenty of wardrobe space, wardrobe is prepped for stackable washer and dryer or can just be used as a wardrobe4. the showerThe 4 things I don't like about this motorhome:
1. the screen for the rear camera, and right and left blinker is too low
2. too little space between the dinette and sofa when the slide is in: I prefer the TV mounted on the wall with tall skinny windows on either side and moving the dinette will add about 6 more inches of walkway space3. no cord reel and combo with the carpet in the basement and the extra carpet under the sofa4. not a lot of counter space in the kitchen
I'm with Andrea on the "Dislike" of the carpeting in the living room area and storage. It needs a reel for the power cord.
I like the dashboard, bunk over cockpit and exterior paint.
yet another great review
to the manufacturer -always consider the value that adding a more expensive item to the motorhome brings. I for one don't mind the price going up if you get what you pay for
Maybe the carpeted storage prevents cargo from shifting and sliding around?
