Have we found our dream RV? 2024 Class B+ Coachmen Crosstrail 20XG XTREAM Package!

[@ricktanner9817]

Bob & Hillary, Thank you so much for taking the time to video review our newest pride and joy, "Critter the Campground Kryptonite". A perfect scrappy cross between a racoon, armadillo and oposum. He can get out further and stay longer than your lesser equipted critters. This is our 6th RV in about 10 years. Two Class A's, one Class C, one Class B, and a towable before this. For us, we finally hit the sweet spot, considering our specific needs. This video of yours was so much fun for us to watch. I'm sure most people don't know you spent almost 3 hours shotting and something like 30+ hours editing just one video like this. My videos take the exact amount of minutes to shoot as you see in the finished product, and I have never spent even 1 minute editing. Partly because I don't know how, and partly because you just took away any incentive I might have had to learn. I'm going to go back and watch this again now. Thank you, and we hope to see you again soon. Rick & Sherri.

[@Vancaskeys]

Awww thanks again Rick and Sherri! You both were the best! We had fun getting to know you! Thanks for sharing your journey. You guys are the real pros when it comes to RVs! Your videos are good too! And I just learned that little storage under the dinette was built by Sherri 🤯 So awesome! Thanks again for sharing Critter with us!

[@deborahallford7337]

Sherri's an organization wizard!!

[@OilyMachine]

It is kind of nice but it could be better. For example I would love for bathroom and toilet join together and then the walkway in left or right side so they dont eat too much space and ofc became much bigger for bathroom👍

[@robb3396]

Very nice 👍👍

[@enjoylife7030]

Great RV. In a rig this small and nimble there are always sacrifices. Only questions are there any issues with exhausting steam from the shower since the fan is in the water closet or does the fan in the dining area take care of that? Also do you use the over dinette storage for wardrobe or are you keeping your clothes somewhere else like below the bed or in the bathroom?

[@googleuser2170]

I'm not a huge factory-made RV guy, but this Cross Trail is very tempting and this is the best video showcasing it. Not too big, lots of features, great floorplan, a chassis I trust and that can be serviced in any town, and capable of off-grid for a decent amount of time. The owners have also kitted it out perfectly. Like the added solar, the additional TV, and the way they set up the garage.

[@ricktanner9817]

Thanks so much!

I purchased a 2021 Coachmen Cross Trek from MHS sight unseen. I knew what I wanted, None to be found in New Mexico (my home state) or anywhere else for that matter. Love it. One of the best decisions I have ever made.

[@Vancaskeys]

Woot! Woot!🎉

[@gosman949]

how has your service been in New Mexico since you didn't buy it there? Luckily I live near MHS!

[@philc.9280]

The crosstrek and crosstrail have been out for a while and was my first choice. It was parking space on the side of my home was the deciding factor as space was limited. We ended up getting a 23 winnebago travato 59k instead that fits perfectly. We really do love the b+ models though

[@AnthonyWilbanks-l5h]

Bob is just awesome and you too Hillary. I hope this is your next RV. Keep your vids coming!!!😊

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks Anthony! 😃

[@joecutro7318]

Thanks, Bob & Hillary! As always, another labor of B van love. So appreciate the work you both do to share your passion for vanlife with us. This was an amazing tour and a great van, actually let's just say it like Bob, AWESOME. So much value and design packed into this vehicle and 100% boondockable! ❤😊🙏👍🏼

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks Joe!

[@WndyW001]

I've been waiting for the Vancaskeys to review your Critter RV. You've done some great modifications, and the organization is amazing. We saw the 2024 21XG model at our local RV show in Salem, Oregon last weekend. It was very nice but did not have the storage like yours. From watching your video's, I had to see one! Enjoy your adventures.

[@janicecrockett1400]

I keep coming back to your video. After revisiting I realized the dinette is really a plus in this unit. I have started a savings account specifically for the Cross Trail 20GX Xtream. It is the one for me and my Schnauzer. Thank you for the tour.

[@joshyoon]

Great find. That's the best Class B I've seen in years.

[@CraigPeer]

Class B+. Not really a class B.

[@CraigPeer]

correction - Coachman calls this a Class C motorhome.

[@NoName-zq6ic]

@@CraigPeer This is probably the first i've seen that you could call a B+ since it is on the Ford Transit T350 which is a dual rear wheel van and not a Cab/Chassis F-53 setup.

[@WanderingVango]

I love the notion of being able to raise the bed all the way and have a little office or reading nook.

[@purposeful49418]

Thanks guys. Love your honest channel! I have been thinking about a Class B van, but I always come back to looking at these small class C's, aka, B+. I like the idea of the vans and their size, but I just can't get over their prices and the small space! I'm afraid I would have huge buyers remorse with a B van.

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks! All your points are valid. We love our B Van but the B+ (small Cs) really have been calling our name lately. It would depend on if you’re looking to live full time or just travel part time. And the prices are getting pretty outrageous for the Class Bs. Ugh. So hard to know what the right decision is.

[@karinjones4380]

I have to say that is the nicest small rig I have seen. The interior is so clean and finished. I wonder what the gas mileage is? I wish it had a north south bed.

[@ricktanner9817]

We are geting about 15 MPG in good conditions. There are 3 different models with all different bed configurations. Even one with bunkbeds.

[@user-vm3yd2rp7f]

We have blackout drawn curtains in our promaster. I highly recommend it

[@Vancaskeys]

Definitely want to do this too!

[@alexaapoe]

Wow! Thanks, for the beautiful, informative video of this awesome B+

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks for watching!

[@shelaran5488]

Good job Hillary & Bob, the brush gard is included in extreme model.😊

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks!

[@ricktanner9817]

Bob was a little right and a little wrong on the bull/brush guard. It is aftermarket where Ford is concerned but installed by Coachmen. One of the many things they got very right on this rig. The LED light bar is amazing when on. Much brighter than you would think for the size.

[@sgtzilla58]

You missed your true calling. Great review, and walkthrough.

[@Vancaskeys]

Haha! Thank you!

[@frankw8481]

$136,000 seems a little bit on the high side. It does appear to be a nice RV though. I would believe the value to be closer to a low of $89,000, to a high of about $129,000. Manufacturers are doing everything they can to try to drive up the MSRPs. Also, 12 mi per gallon approximate, it's a little bit concerning. However, to be fair, this is pretty typical for recreational vehicles. Manufacturers really need to consider putting in hybrid engines, because this could raise fuel economy up to 25%. Plug-in hybrids would even be better. They could also put heat extension/diffusion fins on the engine to allow quicker heat transfer away from the motor, increasing fuel economy at tiny bit by lowering the engine temperature and also creating a semi air-cooled engine. Think about the old air-cooled VW motors. In other words make a modern version of the VW motor. RV technology really needs to improve, especially in areas of quality and fuel economy.

[@jw3252]

You're not taking into account the cost of the electrical system.

Very nice Rv and I love the picture Inside the bedroom cool😀

[@meadowbrookguideservice8359]

Recently found you two. I love your reviews. We purchased our first camper, Coachman Freedom Express back in 2018. We love it though it's time to upgrade to a drivable that will tow our boat. I really like this one. Not so sure about the shower. Would be a bonus to have a bed over the cab and a small slide in the dinnette area. Other than that, I really love this RV. She did an amazing job with the organization. What a pro! Love how the bed can move up and down to allow access to the underbed storage. Great video. I would definately consider another Coachman. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy camping.

[@ricktanner9817]

Thanks for the complement. Renovations (MODs) continue! I have recently replaced the kitchen sink with a deep beautiful one as well as installed a new MaxAir fan in the bedroom and resurfaced the shower. If we get back over to Arizona we will have to ask the pros to shoot another video.

[@merrymcpherson1685]

It is awesome wow The best lay-out for sure. Thanks for showing us this one. Very nice

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks!

[@MrKevingregg]

gotta have rear twin beds... the sideways sleeping is deal breaker for us. how does "inside" person get up without waking the other person?

[@ricktanner9817]

I'm the inside person and get out at night very few times, but when I do it is easy enough to crawl over my wife. I can see how that would be a deal breaker for many. Small RV's always have trade offs.

[@J.W.W.]

An 80” bed! Now that’s tall guy approved 👍 The downside, someone is trapped at the back, and neither one of us makes it a whole night without getting up.

[@CraigPeer]

Can't beat the price for sure. Personally, I prefer the a class B built within a van body for long term use, but this does have some nice features. Also, I question whether the curtains separating the cab insulate as well as the insulated interior window covers that are typical. We are about to go ski camping in our van at 7200' and temps as low as 9F, so we will find out how well insulated ours is real soon!

[@ricktanner9817]

Great observation. We actually carry 3 blackout systems. The first came with the RV and is a large one piece cover that wraps around the outside and covers all cab windows. This is great if you are expecting snow. Take it off and you are left with a clean windshield and side windows. The second is custom fitted and insulated single window covers that go on the inside. This is good for cold weather as it also provides insulation. The third is what we use most of the time in mild weather. The blackout curtain that takes about 2 seconds to close or open.

[@CraigPeer]

That makes sense. We have the exterior window cover for our Sprinter too. I hate waiting to defrost windows!

[@stephaniesebring6118]

If you took the words off the screen, we could actually, see what we tuned in to watch.😊Other that it, is great & we love the motorhome.

[@HighCountryRambler]

There is only one thing that would push this rig over the top. If it were built on the new Transit Trail Ford up-fitted chassis with 3.5 lift, wider stance and a whole lot more goodies. I'd sell my 4X4 Cambreia tomorrow and drop whatever they were asking for it. Thanks for sharing...

[@ricktanner9817]

I bet that is in the works for future models. Transit Trail is pretty impressive.

[@daveahlers]

I have a transit, unibody construction is not nearly as durable as the Ford E350 chassis. I do love my camper, but if I was building a class C I wouldn’t use the transit chassis.

[@HighCountryRambler]

@@daveahlers I have a E450 Camberia that I had a 4x4 conversion and lift. Like it also but I wish it was about 8 feet shorter. It seems manufactures are missing the boat with E series SHORT campers with AWD and 4WD.

[@MarkColin-e5r]

Great video! You are really getting professional at these reviews. And Coachman is SO much better than Thor. It would make us all so happy if you got into something other than Thor! You deserve it. If they really paid 136k that js a deal.. how can that include 800w of solar and 800 AH of lithium? Wow.

[@ricktanner9817]

So far we couldn't be happier with the build quality by Coachmen. As we are not new to the RV game, we expected issues along the way but so far, almost none. In 2022 we bought a new Thor Sequence. The day I picked it up from the dealer the plumbing leaked water all over the interior. That wasn't even the worst day. Getting help from either the dealer or Thor was like pulling healthy teeth. We did do a video on all the MOD's we preformed on Critter so far. On power, the only thing we did was add 2 more (200 watt) panels to the roof for a cost of $400. It came with everything else.

[@Rashnak66]

I've been watching this one- a clear EKKO clone. The raised bed/garage is fantastic- and the windows in there! The dinette is nicely spacious too. I LOVE induction cooktop. I like it better than EKKO except.... ... it's a 3 season coach not meant for cold weather where EKKO is 4 season. Notice the batteries and water are external Best part is that it's not a Thor! At that price I might consider trading in my Thor Tellaro.

[@TrishBenedict]

Sorta like EKKO - Revel mix.

[@JodysJourney]

Coachmen Cross Trek (first edition of Cross Trail) came out in 2020 and Ekko in 2021, so the Ekko is the clone.

[@ricktanner9817]

The 2024 Cross Trail Extreme is actually 4 Seasons rated and has heated tanks. The batteries are Renorgy 400 amp each cold rated. We have already been in the low teens with no issues. I have had, not one but two Thors. Yep, happy it's not a Thor!

[@ricktanner9817]

EKKO - Revel mix, I had not thought of that, but if fits and it says a lot about the Cross Trail considering those are two great brands.

[@herbmanning8348]

Would you ever consider stepping up to a higher-end custom built van? It seems like you only highlight factory built rigs on your channel. Thanks.

[@jtosti66]

You are 100% accurate on the fans. No offense but those are junk, they don’t move any air, I know from experience. Go max fan for sure. 👍🏼 Great review

[@ricktanner9817]

We have replace 2 of the 3 fans (90 minutes and $200 each) with max air fans. Side by side the little ones are simply junk. They look bad, are loud and don't move much air.

[@leolaniukeulady4172]

Awesome! Looks like they have it set up really well. Nice.

[@ricktanner9817]

[@mannys4036]

There's plenty to like and some things not to like. The bedroom was fantastic but accessing it was limited and funky. I would tear out that useless shower stall that you have to climb up into and increase access to the bed. The toilet was flush against the wall would be a little awkward. The outdoor grill was awesome. I don't like dinettes but this one was manageable. It has impressive power needs; solar; 3000 watt inverter; huge propane container; and the price was great considering all the features. Overall it a great unit; I would buy it.

[@Bluesky1ification]

I viewed a new 2023 today with a great asking price. Great chassis, great layout and functionality (tho not as good as 2024). BUT interior and fixtures are cheap and light with so-so attention to detail. Just re-watched your Ekko video and can see construction quality differences in many areas.

[@ricktanner9817]

While we were waiting on the RV to be prepped, washed and ready for us to move in, we took a long look at a couple of 2023 models on the lot. You are exactly right in that the changes were more than adding features but replacing materials and construction processes. If this keeps up, they will leave the competition behind. More likely outcome is other models in the class will also make major improvements and we all win.

[@joniboulware1436]

East west beds are a bad plan, especially for older folks.

Thanks for another awesome video! We are waffling between B and B+... how much of difference is it really in parking at stores/ driving in city areas... have 3 small dogs and nervous about the 22 foot coachman beyond vs slightly larger one like this one!

[@ricktanner9817]

We have owned both and traveled extensively in both. No issues with either regarding parking and driving comfort. I would say the Ford Transit is far more comfortable to drive than the Dodge Promaster for me. The Coachmen B+ is 24' long but I really don't find it any more challenging than the B Class we had before. The big difference is the interior space. I actually knew one owner who had 2 dogs and made the "garage" below the bed a high end kennel for his little traveling buddies.

[@JohnGrahamrealtor]

Have the owners figured there Gas mileage (MPG) looking to compare to the 450E godzilla engine. Thanks

[@ricktanner9817]

I am averaging 15 MPG on the highway. With a headwind and grades, less. In ideal conditions a little better. Not sure how that compares to the 450E but would be interested to know.

That’s not bad!

[@jimmykhokhar9092]

Thanks for the video. Was it used. Why was it so cheap?

[@ricktanner9817]

Well, it was not used unless you consider the delivery from Elkhart as using it. This RV actually arrived at the dealership the morning we arrived in the afternoon. It literally wasn't on the dealer lot for 8 hours before we took possession. We officially purchased it just as it was being completed by Coachmen a week or so prior to arriving. Per the window sticker the MSRP for this unit as is was $192,000. The dealer in Texas, MHSRV will typically discount 25% off the sticker for every unity they get in and they keep about 650 to 700 units on the lot at all times. I am sure there are many factors that will go into their decisions to provide further discounts but they did not share those with me. We felt we were getting a good price but now we are thinking it was a great price?

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks Rick for answering!

[@jimmykhokhar9092]

​@ricktanner9817 thanks for the details! That definitely seems like a great deal and a great RV. Enjoy!

[@mattgreven7615]

What's the OCCC? Gas or diesel? MPG? Just a few things that a potential buyer would want to know (vs. the "amazing" cell phone holder).

Hey Matt! We are not sales people. This was a first impression walk through. All that can be found online I’m sure. 👍🏼

[@ricktanner9817]

Also, not a sales person but as the owner I can tell you my HWY MPG is about 15 and I believe the OCCC is 1,761 lbs. Mine is gas and I believe that is the only option. Bob & Hillary would make a great RV sales team, or better yet a Brand Ambassador for Coachmen. The current one is not so good.

Great tour! We bought this same RV in August 2022 (2023 model). Over 20k miles of travel in all seasons. Absolutely our favorite RV we have owned. No regrets.

where did you buy yours?

[@korystark7128]

@gosman949 we purchased ours from motorhome specialist in alverado texas

[@johnthomson5730]

This model was high on our list for going with a class B+, especially with the 2024 upgrades including the 12-volt fridgerator (LOL), induction cook top and convection microwave as well as the renogy battery system. The major issues for us were the east/west configuration of the bed and that it is not a true 4-season rv. We wound up going with the Winnebago Ekko, and of course, we paid a bunch more, but we prefered the twin bed set-up, smaller size, the thicker side walls w/ fiberglass roof, and the 4-season capability. So it all comes down to what y'all want and willing to trade-off. But real issue here is - WHEN IS MR. LEMON GOING TO GO!!

First thing I noticed was the bull artwork. My wife did a very similar style but with an elephant. I had never seen anyone else with a similar style piece of art. 👍. My wife and I watch quite a few different reviews and this as a lifestyle. It was always our plan for RV Life until health issues took us down a different road unfortunately and finances had to go elsewhere. We can still live vicariously through everyone else’s stories. We love them all.

[@ricktanner9817]

Very sorry to hear of the unexpected change of plans. The art was actually purchased on Amazon a couple of months ago. I wanted a fighting bull to represent the bull market. This is basically our retirement plan. Should we hit a major bear market our plans may change as well.

[@patti3566]

Great rig and I love everything about it with one exception.....the configuration of the bed. Having to crawl over each other to get up in the middle of the night to use the rest room is a deal breaker for us. Now if they can come up with a twin bed version of this, I'd be seriously thinking about it. Great video, great tour of a great RV. See ya next week!

[@sandydemars8100]

I thought so too. But. Then the bathroom will be smaller or something. Always give up something

[@ricktanner9817]

I cannot lie, the climbing over to get out at night is tricky. This coach does come in three different models. This one, a twin bunkbed and a sort of murfy bed which is the 21xg.

[@Vancaskeys]

Agree. The bed situation would be tricky. Bob and talked about that after and that was really our only real concern. But not a deal breaker 😅

In Europe the "toilet room" is called the "Water Closet" or WC for short...

[@Vancaskeys]

I like that!

[@richarddonahue3565]

I've heard water closet in America quite a few times in the past.

This is one of the best rvs I’ve seen. Attention to detail, organization, size, just amazing

[@Vancaskeys]

Glad you like it!

Hi Bob and Hillary 🤗 I really like the two separate areas for the bathroon..and shower that would be nice.. to have ! 👍 I also like the windows one in the kitchen, one in the dinning area ..nice ! 👍 thanks for sharing .. super nice van! 🤗 😊😁

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks Diane!❤️❤️❤️

[@lynnknight2046]

Great tour

[@Annettedinardo]

So funny every time Bob says fridgerater. 😂 He never pronounces the “re”. Love your tours! Thanks for all the content 🙌

[@Vancaskeys]

Hahaha! It’s true!

Bed is only so so since one person has to crawl over the other just to pee at night. Price is exelent but it looks like a copy of Winnebago RV

[@ricktanner9817]

As someone mentioned earlier, this RV came out before the EKKO and like the EKKO has continued to improve over time. The changes from 23 to 24 year models have been huge and there are 3 different bed configurations to choose from. We think the EKKO, like the Granite Ridge by Jayco are exceptional RV's in this class and we considered them all. Much of the decision came down to value. How much am I getting for my hard earned money. While the Cross Trail was our ultimate choice, these are all great RV's and it is clear they are pushing each other to get better and better. May the competition continue! Also he (or she) who pees the lease at night gets the side against the wall. 🚽🚾

Exceptional presentation and walk through Bob.

[@Vancaskeys]

Thank you very much.

[@ghoover111]

When it comes to Innovation, the elevated motorized bed makes so much sense. Previously the Cross Trail seemed confused, neglected and cheap. But this 2024 looks impressive!

[@russelbaird3342]

Lost me at the east west bed , older folks need leg room to get in and out without disturbing their bedmate.

[@kimhorton6109]

These early panels on the specs are going by way too quickly. Ease the pace a little.

[@martykong3592]

:) WOW! THANKS MUCH for sharng and OMG at 136k out the door? Mr Lemon might be puckering :) NICE Rig indeed! ALL the BEST and ENJOY! Cheers from upper left Coast ! :)

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks 👍 Marty! We always love hearing from you!

[@2CorgiMom]

Very nice RV. Love the shower/ toilet separation. The bed would be a deal breaker for me. From experience, I know they’re nearly impossible to “make” without throwing your back out.

[@Vancaskeys]

We agree...the bed is the only draw back.

Be careful of Coachmen. We've had two Coachmen RVs over the years and found them poorly engineered especially once they were bought by Forest River.

[@meko1896]

You were right calling it a class C. It gets me every time someone refers to these as a B Plus. This goes back years. House built around a bare frame = Class A. House built inside the walls of a van = Class B. Hybrid, original cab (truck or van) with house built behind = Class C. At least that's the way it started years ago. Now, every dealer, manufacturer and user has their own name for it. IMHO I know, probably should just keep my mouth shut, 🤣

[@pvsandee1]

Makes me want to drive to Texas to trade in my Thor Tellaro '23 20 L! I'm so tired of the build issues, I should name mine Ms. Lemon! And your organization is stellar, just like I try to do with mine, but I don't have the space.

[@Vancaskeys]

Haha! We feel the same! Ms. Lemon 🍋 😅 they might need to meet!
