All-New 2022 Coachmen Beyond 22RB AWD Ford Transit Class B RV with Li3 Lithium Package

[@strangerpalooza]

KEY MOMENTS TIMELINE IN VIDEO DESCRIPTION. Thank You For Watching🙏🏾

[@philc.9280]

Really nice class b. I'll be looking for something like this next year. One quick observation. You interrupt the sales person too much. He has so much to share

[@strangerpalooza]

Thanks for the feedback, I definitely recommend you check out sunshine state rvs KZbin channel

[@MizzC888]

They have become friends. That's what friends do. U have to see more of their vids to understand.

[@debbieyoung2291]

Love it….maybe I can find one to see and drive in person soon

[@gary.joseph]

Thank you Hank for another awesome video! This was a really fun watch! It was great to have Nick participate with the tour! I just bought my 2022 Nova 20c, white cabs and cashmere color scheme. I've had it 3 weeks and absolutely love it! The Beyond tho is another really great Coachmen product and was at the top of my list when deciding what I wanted. I'm really glad you like yours Hank and I don't believe anyone can go wrong when choosing Coachmen! I'm happy to be apart of that family :)

[@strangerpalooza]

Thanks Gary much appreciated and congratulations on your Nova

[@johndeu]

I assume that the late model 2022 Nova also gets the updated Lithinonics battery management control vs the previous Xantrex control panel? Can you confirm Gary?

[@gary.joseph]

@@johndeu I have the 20c with AGM and generator.

[@gary.joseph]

@@strangerpalooza thank you

[@themodernmystic426]

I'm with you on the 5°. I like this one. So light & bright on the inside. Your wife did good!

[@MizzC888]

I've watched van builds for years. You have convinced me Factory New is the way to go. Thank you guys!!

[@lindasteinbrenner8065]

Super nice van! I really love everything, especially how bright and cheerful the decor is! And a plus for me a Ford. Thanks for the excellent video.

[@strangerpalooza]

You're welcome Linda thanks for watching

[@csmith9189]

Thanks I agree rear bath is great! Easy to work on and grease seals when standing outside and cleaning and rinsing with hose. Nice Van

[@strangerpalooza]

Absolutely I’m a fan of the rear bath on vans

[@sandienochs6132]

I live in Portugal, many vans here have refrigerator doors that open both ways. I don’t know how it works but it’s very cool.

[@strangerpalooza]

hmm that's cool

[@readynow7430]

I like this! Nice comfortable soft seats. You can hook up a dog leash outside to that handle. I don’t like the round sink. Looks smaller than a rectangular one. I think those B vans need an up high bigger refrigerator. I’m getting older, and it’s harder to get down to those. .

[@dianejimenez8327]

This van has everything.. you would need ..nice👍 Thank you Hank ..and Nick.. for a well done video 👍and for making it fun too 🤗😁😊

[@bettydanico2959]

When you’re driving does the van engine supply air conditioning as in a car and truck?

[@timdunmyer4549]

I didn't notice a shower head in that. I'm not even sure in any videos you did with rear bath you showed the shower or the door that separates the bath from the living area? I noticed that when you all were standing at the rear with the doors closed that you could see inside. I dont know about anyone else but I'd love to see Coachman put inside door panels on the rear doors that cover up the bottom of the rear windows and just leave about a foot from the top of the window visible from the inside.

[@alexanderweaver7066]

After watching numerous videos on various Class B models I was set on purchasing a Thor 18 series model. However, I watched the Ocala meet up and this one with Nick. I am now almost certain to choosing a Coachman model like this Beyond Li3...love it, love it and love it!! I wish my fiance returns soon so I could fly from Sacramento, CA, to this dealership and meet Anita there to buy this one off the lot. Even at retail I would buy it but if discounts bring up the price down to the $160's it would be sweet. Anita is an Avionics technician working on F-35 fighter jets in he Ukraine 🇺🇦.

[@alexanderweaver7066]

Great videos, Hank! I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy you and your wife as a YT team.

[@alexanderweaver7066]

In the Ocala meet up, the Coachman owned by Sandy and her husband was absolutely awesome! Her husband is a brilliant craftsmanship and Sandy's personal touches make "home" very warm and inviting.

[@lenmiles5150]

Great review Hank. You and Nick Schmidt bantering back and forth added a little comedy. The review flowed naturally. Nick is good. I’m becoming interested in the class B 24 foot-ish length. Not sure this is the one for us as we’ll be bringing my sister-in-law on occasion. Keep up these great reviews. 👍👍

[@readynow7430]

I like this! Nice comfortable seats! You can hook a dog leash outside to that handle. I probably wouldn’t buy because it has such a low fridge and small sink. I like a rectangular sink better. I’m also getting older and not as able to bend down to the fridge. I like that it has a spare tire, which is hard to find on a class B. That AC sounds pretty noisy. Probably have to sleep with ear plugs. .I love the white cabinets and big bathroom! You do such a good job showing these.

[@zynzane9680]

I agree, the designers need to know their audience and get the fridge and microwave up off the floor. They need to be right at mid height so both tall and short people can use them.

[@timdunmyer4549]

If its a beautiful sunny Florida day and you have everything running, a/c, frig. etc would the solar panels keep everything running and batteries charged through the day and night without having to run the engine?

[@strangerpalooza]

I would definitely say no to that in my opinion

[@janalaughlin2197]

Great review! Really want a new one and wish Nick was closer because he seems like a truly good guy! Would love to give him our business! How do I find out about you flying us down there! Talk to me about servicing then.

[@strangerpalooza]

I would say call up SSRV anyone who answers the phone should be able to get you the info you need Jana

[@smokeydoke100]

Why does it have a 50A hookup? 30A should be plenty for a vehicle that size. Also, their proximity has me wondering, do the shower and bathroom sink drain into the black tank, or are they pumped somehow over the rear axle and up to the grey tank?

[@strangerpalooza]

It’s a 30 amp…only toilet goes to black tank…everything else goes to the grey including shower and bathroom sink

[@tonygavros3499]

You guys are like best buds. Awesome 😁👍🏻

[@gagehotchkiss6074]

Hank: thanks for what you do! Well done & super valuable.

[@barbarafarrington7146]

Agreed concerning the constant interruption of Hank. It is just too rude and I cringe when I want to view a van that Hank will be introducing. That is what Hank forgets. He is only supposed to introduce.

[@nwjeepgirl]

Is there storage under the other bed? I don’t know how I feel about sleeping on top of all that wiring and the batteries… 😳😬

[@intuitiveinspiredart4366]

Does the RB have a convection microwave? I like the Beyond D, but where is the convection oven???

[@RolandNA]

Can you put a lock cover on all the plugging outside, like gas lid

[@RealCujo]

Championship rings and carving his name in peoples tables. Nicks a gangster. Oh and the upgrades look great 😜

[@strangerpalooza]

Ha Ha yeah he is gangster!

[@GENECARP]

I like you guys, nice style and chemistry..

[@timdunmyer4549]

Does it have 360° cameras and is it possible to monitor them on the TV for security purposes? I didn't catch how many AH and solar panels it has.

[@strangerpalooza]

no on the 360 cameras, you can have those installed aftermarket like I did...there are solar panels on top

[@bjt512]

A local RV dealer said some of their clients don’t like the upgraded 12V AC because it doesn’t blow out enough cool air as the original AC does. Do you notice this?

[@traveldreamer4616]

Hi Hank. You mentioned that the RB floor plan has a narrower slide door opening. What is the actual width of the opening and the width between the twin beds

[@DreamsOverTheRockies]

You two are the Wallace and Davis duo of RVing. That's a reference to the movie White Christmas. :)

[@DreamsOverTheRockies]

Nice entertaining tours, just way above my pay grade.

[@allisonhammond4313]

I really wanted to watch this but all the time I had to watch it was taken up with ads so I couldn't watch it. :(((((((((((((( I will not have time to come back to it. So I will not get to see it because there were SO MANY ads!!!!! I am SO disappointed. No you cannot fix this for this customer. But you can fix it for the next one!

[@maureenburke8618]

Is there storagw under the passenger side bed?

[@madeleinegombert661]

You Guys are Funny! Thanks!

[@timdunmyer4549]

So how much fuel is used per idling for 1 hour? What's under the passenger side bed?

[@strangerpalooza]

I've never done that testing...you will probably loose one or two miles per gallon from idling over time (my observations) that's why I prefer the generator (which seems to just sip gas overnight better than running engine) under the bed is wiring and heater with hot water tank

[@timdunmyer4549]

@@strangerpalooza on your Beyond with a generator. Does the generator charge your lithium batteries, then everything run off the batteries or do things run off the generator? If things run off the generator then what are the batteries for?

[@happycamper199]

Around the 26 min mark, mention is made that the Firefly app can be accessed from ANYWHERE there's internet access, and that it is accomplished by the Wifi SkyRanger. In my case the sky ranger is not part of the system. I can access my Firefly panel 21-22-RB-Li with the Wifi skyranger unplugged. No power to it. The app shows cloud service online, ECLI-1234567 Connected to firefly cloud, and I have full control of the FIrefly system. I don't know what the technological backstory is, but I KNOW it works.

[@NA-nt8iz]

Why the Electric wire is not organized

[@cheryl814]

Is that van still available? Thank you

[@strangerpalooza]

give SSRV a call it was when I was there

[@johnvsf]

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

[@tabiousboatright]

Where would I look for this vehicle I live in Chicago

[@davesup5059]

Nice job Hank

[@IMDABROWN]

That was really nice, thanks for sharing. I do have a question about the RB’s in general. Does the shower water hit the drawers and cabinets?

[@strangerpalooza]

good question, answer is no if you use the shower curtain which goes all the way around the bathroom area

[@IMDABROWN]

@@strangerpalooza Thanks!

[@dwoodygura]

Looks like they may have come up with some better blinds in the 2022...yea!

[@joesalemi2414]

What is the MSRP on this van?

[@waynec2962]

I can see why people back out of the sale after waiting all that time to get their new van! it's not because of health issues! lol, it's because they had time to think about how overpriced those vans are and how long it's going to take for them to pay it off!! not to mention when all borders open to 100% they won't have any extra money to fly to Mexico! all because of the huge mortgage they took out to pay for a whimsical purchase lol Just wait 2 years people! the world will be back to normal the market will be flooded with good used vans at huge discounts!

[@Guzzirodo]

That fellow trying to be noticed and trying to be funny is just obnoxious. I really try to watch your videos but if you add the camera moving everywhere and the loud guy it makes it hard

[@frito_bandito_]

Great video Hank! Do you know if all 2022 Beyonds have the new Lithionics system, or just the most recent builds?

[@johnjplummer]

do the seat swivel?

[@jeffgrant4234]

Nothing groundbreaking. My 2019 Crossfit has all the same batteries and a shunt that does everything this one does that I upgraded for a fraction of the cost. All in with my upgrades costs me 81K brand new. I never understood AWD. It rides too low to go offroading in and unless you change out the tires, it does little in the snow.

[@bettydanico2959]

Ok you answered my question.

[@speroconstantine9957]

Love this but I think the Nova is for me

[@RolandNA]

Petroleum is getting to expensive, do you have a hybrid engine, solar electric system, induction stove, electric water heater (no propane) we can buy bbq grill with propane and cook outside when camping but not used all the time,

[@timandcindyjacobson2953]

I’ve been using generators in my RVs for 40 years and in our current Class B. One button on, one button off. We have around 120 hrs on our Generator in two years and 31k miles. Do the math, for us and Li3 system will never make sense at $20K plus additional cost. If you never plug in, then it’s probably a great upgrade. Also, sometimes less is more. I like the tech in the Ford, minus a key to start instead of push-button, but having two Firefly systems in a small Class B seems like overkill, and sometimes it’s simply easier flipping a light switch on the wall then scrolling thru your firefly. Also the Rear TV is not in the right place. We either watch from the captain chairs and the TV is too far, or we watch in our beds and in the Beyond, the pillows are in the wrong position and the head of the bed does not elevate up at all to help watch TV while in bed.

[@celinegandolfo2314]

Love the video--Love the Coach but Just wish those 4 windows opened in some way also..

[@strangerpalooza]

for sure the more videos you get to open the better Celine

[@bettydanico2959]

How do you charge the lithium batteries?

[@dwoodygura]

Pretty sure the Li3 system charges when you are driving, idling or when you are plugged into the 30amp service at a campground.

[@ramonaburns4077]

Let the man finish talking lol….hmmm looks like a carado layout

[@theeasterbunny61]

Don’t see a ball park price. I’m looking for used 2019 to 2021

[@JesseJamesRTOFA]

Safety issue not having the water inlets locked up.

[@nnelgish]

Every time you show the electronics compartment I almost have a heart attack. What a squirrel's nest! Need to clean that up!

[@AidaJof]

I wish @StrangerPalooze let presenter go through his presentation uninterrumpted, I wanted to hear all the highlights from him.

[@ShihanTomCallahan]

Confused on the air conditioner. The time went form 11 hours down to 6 in about 3 minutes….

[@toddwhited4833]

Very nice if I can order it with the fuel efficient transit 3.2 diesel engine and adaptive cruise control I would buy one

[@etrimbleable]

This is just my speed.

[@JD-kf2ki]

Shoule be equipped with Xenon headlamps.

[@strangerpalooza]

1000% agreed on that J D

[@sandraguthrie6834]

You kept walking on him. Let him talk.

[@that70sgeek]

Hahahaa “I’m 6 feet tall” @ 22:06. Riiight. The interior height of that RV is 6’3” and there is a lot more than 3” clearance over your head. You look to be more like 5’5” lol

[@virginia2139]

I wish those windows could be opened.

[@Billfish57]

This is not for living out of, no oven is deal breaker and that rat's nest of wires is scary looking. This thing looks like it needs more work. It's pretty, but not that functional if you ask me. You need to have bullet proof to take hundreds of miles away from good help if something fails.

[@wimross2173]

Nick next presentation mute hank!
