The SMALLEST Class A Gas Motorhome For 2022!

[@mariab8711]

Matt, I think you should invest on small drone so you don't have to climb.

[@gregtroublemaker1862]

Can't see him climb on the roofs in 10 years

[@davidrasmussen2975]

No counterspace

[@davidrasmussen2975]

What is realistic cruising range at 70 mph?

[@chrisrowland2223]

One of the reasons he doesn't get a drone is he would have to get a commercial Flying Permit in order to use a drone for his business.

[@CindyGer]

Great use of space. Love the king bed with all the windows.

[@pattijohnson8197]

I like the TV positions but they're pretty small. I don't like the blinds or counter space. Weird it has a curtain and a pocket door but I get why. I'd never feed by cats in the bathroom! That's weird, too. I love the king bed, colors and that, for the size it has everything someone else would need.

[@ftkinsella]

Nice to see the black tank hookup is well away from the clean water fill. Nice king bed too. Love the small size 28+ feet is incredible. Thanks guys for the great review of the A.C.E. Cheers!!!

[@bustersappliancerepair7271]

Matt, love all you reviews and your energy. I have an idea for the Class C's, make the swivel captain chairs into recliners when turned to face the living space. Some of the sofa's just dont look comfortable enough to chill. Just my 2 cents. Hopefully Thor will see this and think hmm...

[@HenryYiin]

Love your review. One question: is the slide-out easy to break? I assume it's powered by elec, does it have a hand-crank as a backup?

[@susanharbin1560]

✔ Love this unit. It's at the top of my list as a single person w/ 2 🐕 ❌ They should have put in a round sink to give more counter space ❌ Slam latch doors would be much better ✔ Oven, pantry ❌ ✔ Over cab bunk, just wish it was higher weight capacity ❌ Needs tankless water heater

[@calebwalters3096]

Check out 26X or 27A Jayco Alante. Single-bowl stainless steel sink, slam latch doors, 750-lb rated overhead bunk, tankless water heater, much bigger windshield for better visibility and scenery-viewing, fiberglass roof, and 190W solar panel standard.

[@susanharbin1560]

In the future “Matt’s Rv review “ will be synonymous to “ Kelly’s blue book “ or Craigslist 👍🏻

[@redc8783]

Would be nice to have 2 twin beds in bedroom, with under storage like a navy bunk, or he rear bath goes across the back and the twin beds as you had in the older Vegas

[@tremjar1305]

nice, only thing i would do is add combo washer dryer, but i would do that anytime i could, change couch to theatre seats as usual, tv fine where it is... a 4x4 class a would be cool. ...... bunk is fine, never have anyone sleeping up there anyway, but you could pull it down to sleep at a stop if you had to without getting bed slide out. as long as you not the size of will.

[@MattsRVReviews]

A 4 x 4 class Awould be awesome

[@TI-hh2nr]

Matt listen at 7:22 it sounds like a turn indicator is clicking in the background weird but that's what I hear

[@MattsRVReviews]

IDK I might have hit a weird button LOL

[@cindyjaynes7955]

Plug ins on each side of the bed would be excellent as both myself and my husband are on cpap machine and o2

[@IMDABROWN]

Matt, you are EXTREMLY entertaining! Plus you really hit all the good points on the RV's you review.

[@lanacollier1247]

Even though the outside doors have the twist closures they open to the side so I could actually put stuff in and get things out easier. Thank you for that.

[@tinaprice4948]

I wish they had a U shaped dinette where the couch was and more storage/countertop space where the dinette is now.

[@mjgnmgal1715]

Very nice. Could they have designed it with a queen sized bed and addad a bit more room to the kitchen? Such a cute little microwave. The size is excellent. And so happy it's just the two of you!!

[@williambradley2562]

Thanks Matt, Andrea & Jen for a Great Review

[@MattsRVReviews]

Thanks so much William!

[@glendasellers9189]

Hi Andrea. I am so happy to see you back.

[@tonycrabtree3416]

All is awesome, but maybe a queen bed could create more living/storage space?

[@billdeer8744]

how do you access the fuel fill up when you have a bike rack or tow something off the back, also how do you use the outside shower when its under the slide out?

[@dodgeguyz]

Exactly. This is a poorly laid out RV.

[@77Infidel]

Why did they go with that sharp looking Achilles ankle slicer drawer handle for the dog dish drawer as you exit the shower?

[@joeblow3939]

😎 Mat, never mind. You already know. 🙈 Now tell the Mrs. If you knock three times on the front of the dishwasher it will unlock.👍👍

[@donna4010]

I like the fur baby friendly adds … very nice. Wish the upper bunk held more lbs. wish the microwave was a convection and all appliances were from same vendor. On the fence about TV placement…and agree with Andrea - need more counter space ;) thanks fir the reviews!!

[@gordo864]

Great review as always, great small A class… not a fan of of bed not being usable with the slides in, wish it had a proper wet bay, no room to change in the bedroom but it is a small RV. Great colour scheme, good layout with the couch and banquet

[@norme10]

I love these #Thor units. I'm looking to go full time RV life within a year and I'm looking at different options for a single tech guy with 2 dogs and I'm definitely leaning Thor. The one thing with ALL RV's that I'm seeing is that I would love to see that over hang bunk being converted to storage for a LARGE screen TV that could swivel out, or possibly a projector screen for a HD projector that could be housed further back.

[@jamdalf4343]

Thanks for getting the CCC!

[@MattsRVReviews]

You are welcome!

[@papah7398]

I've never owned an RV and probably never will, but you are one entertaining dude...many thanks. Later my man.

[@Bigal5296]

After much looking at motor homes, I think this might be the one!!! Love your videos!!

[@dodgeguyz]

Nice entry level MH. However, even being entry level it would be nice to have the water and electric hookups in a compartment. Nice layout, nice colors, but as usual that TV placement is ridiculous! You won’t be able to see it with someone at the table, not to mention it blaring in their ear as you try and watch it. But, $160k for an entry level short MH is ridiculous!

[@LibbyRal]

Especially when you can hear how flimsy the drawers are, no counter space, cheap looking mattress in the over head bunk. As for colors - what color? Beige isn't a color.

[@TI-hh2nr]

Hi matt the background is killing me pick a different song something a little slower other than that good job love your videos

[@MattsRVReviews]

Ok thank you!

[@gavinhorner3517]

Hey Matt did I see the generator exhaust pipe next to the ladder and fuel fill? If so that's a dislike. And 250lbs. Overhead bunk .....its 2022 Thor ! Otherwise it's a sharp unit . Love the tv over the dinette straight across from the sofa. Good job as always guys

[@Boppert1]

Hey guys. Wondering if you could find a way to review a 2022 Jayco Precept 31UL. Love the floorplan and would love to hear your opinions on it. Just wish Entegra made a Vision XL version of that plan. Keep up the awesome work!

Not sure the outdoor shower should be under the slider. Bedroom seems a bit cramped. Perhaps a queen bed would allow more space.

[@joebagodonuts8119]

I don’t own nor have I ever owned an RV. But I have interest in traveling and seeing the country, especially our National Parks. I think the style of RV depends on your intended use of them and how many people you intend to occupy the RV. I think that it’s mostly for couples and small family. I don’t think you need to sleep 6-8. Class A’s are clearly the way to go if you are full timing for the first time in my opinion. Based on my review of the online videos, I don’t see how a B+, C or Super C beats out a small Class A for a first timer looking to tour the country. I think you can make a case for a B or B+ if you are looking to stay “off the grid”. For me, it looks like the small Class A are simply more space efficient than Super C’s.

[@joebagodonuts8119]

I think a video or videos that compare the advantages and disadvantages of each style would be helpful.

[@Travis_125]

I miss the view of the motor home with the slides in.

Hi Matt abs Andrea! Good seeing Andrea again. My dislikes are the same as yours Matt and Andrea this time. My likes are the bunk bed Matt where you had the key to use in case it doesn’t move electrically. I like the tv being across from the couch. And the king size bed. It’s nit a bad Rv at all fir being as small as it is. Thank you Matt abs Andrea. 👍😊

Looks like a spitting similarity to the Forest River 3 class A. My neighbors has one.

[@calebwalters3096]

[@nancyhouse1271]

We traded our 2017 Thor Ace because it was an awful mouse, chipmunk, and squirrel trap. It didn't matter that we had removed ALL food, vacuumed and wiped down every surface after each trip, and put in rodent deterrents. Underneath, the motorhome was so poorly sealed and had gaping openings, we couldn't get to, but rodents did!!! They were inside drawers and had worked their way in the open coach, bringing in nuts....camping out, and tearing up everything. Thor makes a good looking product, but the construction is slap it together without a thought toward sealing. There motto seems to be, if the consumer can't see it, why bother?

[@arthurtyde4837]

I would agree - and extend that to most RV's including Airstream. Sealing the bottom of the rig is critical - not just to weatherproof / dirtproof the interior but especially to keep pests out. I've had to jack up every trailer I've owned to seal off wheel wells and other areas that the manufacturer really should have closed up. Having a mouse chew up the wiring behind these new integrated control systems would be an expensive disaster not likely covered by warranty.

[@AlJohnsGuitar]

Does the camera system stay on so you can have a record of your driving? In case there is an incident that is not your fault. Do you have to buy a dash camera for that?

[@sitchad]

Actually for the size and the price it's really not a bad RV. It's entry level or for the occasional RV'er. The floorplan is well thought-out, features are good and the warranty is really nice. Plus I imagine it would be easy to drive and maneuver so if Mom wants to take the kids or the girls out camping, not a big deal. Come on give Mom a girls weekend away from the kids and let the alcohol flow, LOL. I do not own a Thor product, I own a Fleetwood so I am not a shill for Thor.

[@BevDessert]

I like the Small size class A. I solo travel so I woul like to see a smaller bed I can use at rest areas or small campsites when I dont put the slide out. What is the true purpose of the Dog window? I dont travel with pets. Matt could you Add the GCWR TO YOUR VIDEOS when you show the hitch capacity and the cargo carrying capacity? It took me a few months to figure out that my GCWR is 4000 lbs higher than my GVW. I mistakenly thoiught my 3000lb ccc would be reduced by the weight of any car I towed. My hitch is 3500 weight so i can tow a 2500 to 3000 lb vehicle and not reduce my cargo in the RV.

[@LibbyRal]

Those 'dog windows' in tractor trailers - in the days before cameras and side warning lights - let you see if a car was next to you.

[@martyh4777]

Matt, Hmm, it seems no matter what you love all tires & brands since I've never seen you disliking a tire & brand.

[@chrisrowland2223]

Wish they had this bathroom design in the travel trailer from yesterday. I would get rid of the dinette and have a breakfast bar / counter under the TV. I would rather have a folding table for the sofa and have more counter instead of feeling so cramped with dinette and sofa.

Likes: full length awing, solar, dog tie-up, pass thru storage, fuel filler in rear center, storage cubbies in bunk area above cab, pull out storage under dinette seating. pull out drawers in panty, and the area next to door where you can put your coat, etc. Dislikes: smaller tires, twisty locks on exterior storage and covers to those storage just hang down, one a.c., sink behind dinette seating, tiny microwave, I don't like the tv extending into window area, bed folds when slides in, window blinds look cheap, plastic shower door (deal breaker).

[@michaelgehrke8272]

Likes: under 30 feet, TV 📺locations, and king bed (too bad it folds and is useless while traveling). Dislikes: folding bed, kitchen layout, and the dinette. Perhaps they could delete the dinette, extend the kitchen counter tops, and put in a televator and free standing table.

The toilet tissue placement is a big problem. Part of the PPP 😂

Matt, the 27.2 starts at $156,750. It is definitely not the best priced, or smallest, class A on the market. 27.2 is 28'10". The Jayco Alante is 28'5" and starts at $145,718. ALL Alante floorplans are less money than this motorhome, even the 32'2" 31V at $152,768 and 32'2" 29F at $155,558.

[@richardziemies8247]

Nice rv but,,,,,, I have to agree with your dislikes. Especially the toilet. I think you were kinda cramped in there and the toilet paper roll was in the wrong place.

Again with the same wonky definitions of smallest. The Entegra Vision/Jayco Alante 26X, which is on the F53 chassis, is 28' 5". Which I'm pretty sure is 4 inches shorter than 28' 9". :D

[@lutomson3496]

Class A is a Class A no matter what chassis tons of these are rentals like El Monte etc so they are the cheapest and lowest quality unit look at those cheap outside access doors as an identifier and the TPO roof not a bad rig though other smaller Class A's out there though and this one not reviewed with the slides in

One of the better values out there presently, even though 2019 ACEs were closer to 100K MSRP... nearly a 60% increase in price. I understand why, to a degree anyway, but it still seems it should come in closer to 130-140K MSRP. 👍 Exterior Color Scheme 👍 King Bed in Small Class A 👍 Efficient use of Interior Space 👎 Overhead weight rating 👎 Limited Counter Space 👎 TPO Roof instead of EPDM On another note Matt, you should make Andrea happy. Buy a drone for the roof shots and name it "Fat Ass Salesman" 😉
