Tiny Amazing Class B Camper Van!

[@DSCSF52]

Probably one of the best camper van layouts I've seen. Putting it on a Ford Transit Chassis would be the icing on the cake!

[@horizon42q]

Look at the Coachman Beyond 22C Li 3

[@808kiker]

Exactly what I said when I saw this. It's not too much and not too little. The only thing I would change is to put the outside water connections behind a panel. Still a great looking van at a really decent price.

[@DSCSF52]

I bought a B+ a little over a year ago, if I had seen this one when I was looking, I definitely would have chosen it over the B+

[@horizon42q]

Matt! How did you know? I just bought a leftover brand new Coachman Nova 20C Li3. It’s our 2nd RV. We’re keeping the Horizon. We love the Nova. BTW. It has a big fridge for a B Van. Camping off grid and boondocking everywhere! The battery lasts a long time. Also, compared to other B Vans the seats are very comfortable.

[@xtreme4stringbass]

That is perhaps the best B van layout i have ever see.

[@elizabethcarrington5819]

The cabinetry is very nice quality- Dove-tail drawers in the pantry. Love the layout, great built-in features are nice and the lighted storage above is a welcome feature. They packed a ton into a 20 ft.

[@VanityBitty]

Pretty cool, too expensive even at that price. That AC unit over your head was dripping as you were talking about the dog/running boards. I saw it drip onto the floor like 5 times 😢. No bueno. I have a Promaster 118” no build/semi build. But yeah, that van was gorgeous. Love the pantry, the kitchen, the induction, I happened to like the fridge/freezer, love that it has a real toilet, wet bath is fine, LOVE the screen doors and windows. You get used to driving up high very quickly btw.

[@sherrieventuri5124]

I'm pretty sure it has a full sized propane tank that is used for heat and water. It's mounted on the driver's side between the two axles and runs crosswise.

[@janinepannell]

Love the frig!

[@bellevue260]

I like the no propane thing. Its nice that tech is getting to the point that it'll be easier to ditch propane altogether. One less system to deal with.

[@rebellucy6200]

Propane back up is priceless.

[@geraldturner9764]

So do you mean "accident"?

[@peggyconway2900]

We have a 2021 Nova 20 C and love it! I like the little changes, very small changes, they made since mine

[@Grizpit]

I picked up my 2024 Nova 20D last year and really like it. Same set up but with the twin beds so there is a lot of storage in between. I had a Class A and decided to downsize and am glad I did. Wish I would have gone Li3 but the generator works fine. Only gripe I have is I am on the taller side (6') and when they put those swivel mount kits in you really sit up high and feel like you are looking into the storage as much as the windshield. Also with the fridge behind the driver it cuts off some potential leg room. I bought the Nova because it felt like a quality build (Dovetail Joints, no cheap materials). The fridge is about as big as you can get in a B. You can also use the freezer as Fridge space if you just turn it on to 1.

[@Studiovette]

Great time to be buying B vans. Prices are dropping every day!

[@henryprospect8754]

#VANLIFE... You guys are awesome!!! 2024 Coachmen Nova 20C

[@captjim97]

Not a bad little unit !

[@sherriweber7105]

Hi Matt and Andrea! My dislikes are the same as yours and my likes are the bed and counter space and pantry, the colors of the interior. Thank you Matt and Andrea!

[@silverbulletreport8567]

I would probably go with the beyond over the nova in favor of the ford chassis.I personally feel like class B’s in this build range are about $15k over priced …it is nice to have that Li3 though👍🏼

[@suzukiquadrunner5258]

Nobody does it better than Matt

[@RockerRed]

Very nice! Thank you! Thank you! 👍🤘💛🧡💛

[@qshrek]

great review, we finally got ours and our Paillons dont have an issue with the running boards. My little girls sleeps on it if the sun is on it

[@DavidPerez-nk4gc]

You two are amazing! Great duo!!

[@annekruszka8441]

I’m 5’5” and while it’s fun to drive it could be a little more comfortable. We travel in it -2 adults and a dog and a cat.

[@karenmckersie2239]

OMG that price was OUCH!!😮😬😖 but i love the unit and its bright interior!❤

[@1dutchmeteor]

It’s not incognito with a big awning 😀

[@808kiker]

I hate those awnings so much on all B's.

[@Chris-ho9pq]

Thanks Matt and Andrea for your review.I would like this Coachman model better on the Ford chassis.

[@karinwest919]

look at the Coachmen Beyond 22C

[@kittylemew3974]

Dang. Wish I had seen this before my Dazzle

[@stevez340]

I appreciate the sofa for seating on a rainy day and the big “B” van fridge👍but for over $150,000 with fees and taxes😮I don’t want to have to make, unmake, and sleep on a sofa every night and poop with my bathroom door open😂

[@Eddie_000]

2:09 Are you telling me the van has mirrors on both sides of the vehicle?? That's all I need to know. Where can I buy this vehicle from the future? The cup holders and power windows are just icing on the cake for me. /s

[@Alice-x9b4i]

The colors are beautiful

[@qshrek]

Picking up our 20C but with generator instead of LI3 next week. I'm "much" bigger than Matt and I have plenty of room in the bathroom, especially compared to the several other B units we looked at. (Thor, Winnebago, Tiffin). Probably would have bought the Tiffin GH1 except 2 people (especially two teenagers) cant sit in the jump seats even when they are extended (when extended you cant walk around the jump seats, huge issue if someone needs to potty while driving)

[@CurtisBuchanan-o3d]

Incognito?? Even with the awning and 8+ plug openings on the other side? Please!

[@808kiker]

Those ports definitely shoulda been behind a lockable panel.

[@Studiovette]

Coachmen builds a great class B. They really take a lot of pride in their craftsmanship and their after sales support I hear is just as good.

[@951WoodworkDesigns-bx4kn]

This van may be cheaper than other nicer class B vans, but 135k is absurd! The prices of these class B vans are ridiculous for what they are. The only upside to a van is they can go just about anywhere, easy to drive and, they get better gas mileage, but otherwise, you get far less for your money than stepping up to a class C, even a small class C. They are also too freak’n small for a couple to be comfortable traveling for long periods of time, even though couples live full-time in these boxes. I understand why some people like these, but they aren’t for me, unless maybe I was single and found one far less expensive. MSRP of $212k? What were they smoking when they decided on that for a list price?

[@Mamu-ok6wl]

The pedestal table that goes behind the passenger seat is a problem. The area where it hooks up is an accident waiting to happen! It needs to have a cover over it or some way to hide that pokie up stand.

[@JP22488]

Will there be USBs on Liquify? 😅

[@foxcroftandrea3213]

👍

[@Lostcause1974]

So much to love about this Class B Love: 1. Front seat swivels 2. Lithium batteries and solar. 3. A pantry in a class B? Great use of space. 4. Square, deep kitchen sink. 5. Dual door bathroom. Dislike: 1. Price is so cray cray. 2. Bathroom sink size. 3. Ram Promaster, not my taste. 4. Exterior ports need to be covered.

[@leeevers8976]

I like this one

[@geocacherny7030]

Is there adaptive cruise?

[@kevinkoepke8311]

Lithium batteries and solar, but, inverter stove, microwave, big refrigerator for a B van, A/C, and electric couch/bed. No, this is not a boondocking RV. You're married to the 30 amp outlet. Propane would help with water heater, stove and refrigerator. Thanks!

[@karinwest919]

the Nova has propane tank for the Truma Combi and quick connect. I think you can still order with LP cook top . Fridge is electric only but you don't have to worry about leveling.

[@bassmonk2920]

Whats dripping from the AC...

[@deekelley891]

That running board will catch your dogs toenails and you’ll be looking for an emergency vet in the middle of nowhere.

[@277kne]

One minor dislike. The faucet is in front of the window. Would like it on the left side.

[@Cargotom]

Say Dodge, its. fiat, which i like btw.

[@suzukiquadrunner5258]

Just tell me what RV to buy.

[@markbennett8685]

Water dripping from AC at the end. Having bought a new Thor Windsport from La Mesa RV in Arizona last year, only to turn around with 25 legitimate warranty items, I tend to be a bit critical of the workmanship and quality. Be very careful when you buy these. It’s easy to buy with emotion, and the inside looks nice. The minute I drove it home, it rained that afternoon, and I realized, the slide out was missing seals on both ends which leaked water into the living room. That was just one item. I ended up selling it back to a different dealer just three months later. My biggest complaint is the crappy seats that don’t last long due to the fake leather, the paint that literally peels off of the cabinets from any humidity, water leaking from the hot water tank, and the list went on and on. Be very careful. These horror stories on KZbin are quite real, and you will lose thousands the minute you buy one from the lot. I spent my first trip at the Air Force Academy to see my daughter, but while my wife and daughter were busy rock, climbing, I was trying to figure out why my generator wasn’t working. I lost an entire day of Labor Day weekend last year. By the way, La Mesa scheduled my walk around inspection for the end of the day on a Friday, so as I kept finding stuff such as bubbling on the roof, or a big rip in the driver seat, they were rushing to get me out of there. They kept telling me warranty would cover everything. Warranty did not cover the rip in the seat. Plus, when I first called about this RV I was interested in, they did a video walk around. I flew from Alabama out to Arizona. As soon as I walked up to the RV, I noticed a 3 foot scratch on the side of the RV. The salesman literally said yeah, I just noticed that this morning , but the warranty will cover it. Once I bought it, the warranty folks told me they would not cover that. Still, I enjoy listening to Matt and Andrea and looking at their videos. They are entertaining.

[@sharonl7493]

[@george9258]

That is the most uncomfortable thing about that is driving it we used to have them for work van and I hated driving it sorry don’t like being so negative about about it

[@aklivn49]

The price of $139.00 raises questions regarding its value. It appears to be an imprudent expenditure, lacking propane and sufficient storage space in the rear. Additionally, the choice of a V-6 engine seems questionable, as the vehicle's weight may hinder its ability to transport loads effectively. It would be more practical and cost-effective to build or have a custom van made instead.

[@BeechSportBill]

Front wheel drive…

[@enigmathegrayman2953]

Bro, I need me a camper van, but they’re too much money!!!

[@adog175]

I love that vans have no engine sticking out, you must not like class A's. If you drove it enough you don't notice it.

No one would ever know you're in an RV.... except for all those exposed dump and fill things marring the left side of the van!

Just dislike when you guys do class B reviews. It's such a downer. That is a large refrigerator for a B!! Convection microwave! So much we'll thought out storage. I don't spend enough time in the bathroom for that to be such a consideration.

Split that..... back bed/seat,...... and seat or put seat down one big bed?? So you got the seat up on the bed down all day ?? Ok thx bye

OVERPRICED!! It's GAS. ENgine will go 150k if you are lucky. Get a used! Mercedes diesel. Midwest Industries 2023 MD4 has 4 captain chairs and much more luxurious plus engine will last a million miles if you take care of it. DIESEL. AND you can get an MD4 Heritage model for 160k brand new 2025 with lithium.

[@xToddmcx]

Sorry, but you're living in the 1970s. Modern gas engines last much longer than that.

Sprinters are having transmission issues. Our local dealer has a lot full of transmission issues Sprinters.

[@MacheteMambi]

@@xToddmcx How Much longer? 300k ? A diesel is "broken in" at 100k

[@MacheteMambi]

@xToddmcx It's not the 70s it's physics. There's more wear snd tear and more parts to maintain on a gas. That hasn't changed. Past 100k the problems start in a gas engine. Plus they aren't built as robust to begin with. It's just reality. There's a reason you pay more for a Diesel engine and there's a reason long range and abused tractor trailers are not gas. LOL!

[@karinwest919]

we will get the Ford Chassis because the MB Sprinter was nothing but a headache for getting service and repairs. And not having to worry about the dirty diesel / bio-diesel and DEF is also nice.
