Hi Sherri! Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a great week and weekend too! Mike and Susan

Watch the video again. If I back in then the side door of our RV would be facing the wrong way. The hookups are actually on the wrong side on this campsite.

Hi Patty, great points! Now we just need a coach that has it all! Thanks for watching! Mike

That's a great choice! Thanks for sharing your vote! Mike

I have tried the old percolating pot but I can't stand coffee grinds in my coffee! Maybe I'm doing something wrong...I even tried using a coffee filter in my old percolator...any advice? Thanks, Mike

Maybe we could make a video about why inspections are so important and we can interview an RV Inspector - lord knows we know quite a few RV inspectors. Thanks for the suggestion! Mike

Thanks so much! Hope you have a great day! Mike

There are no RVs with raised cabinet heights. You could possibly add a comfort height toilet as an after market product.

@@RVBlogger that's disappointing. I guess I will have to go with a tiny home build then. Thanks for the intel. I've been searching fruitlessly.

Thanks very much! We do our best and we are glad you enjoyed them! Mike and Susan

I love the idea of a washer/dryer over a dishwasher but most of these coaches are designed for weekend warriors not full timers. Are you full time so you would need a washer/dryer or do you just like the convenience of a W/D while camping for a week or weekend? Thanks for watching! Mike

Great analysis! And we have reviewed the 17 MKE a couple of times so we didn't include it in this video. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! Mike

Some folks really like a double sink - we love ours! So I think it's kind of a 50/50 thing ( pun intended - get it!) Thanks for watching! Mike

Yeah - its tough to make a good floor plan when the whole RV including the drivers cab is under 25'. What would you do differently? Thanks for watching! Mike

We agree! Or a washer/dryer maybe... Thanks for watching and for your comment! Mike

LOL! Folks are really loving the dishwasher! Thanks for chiming in! Mike

Since you are full time would you think a washer/dryer would be a better use of space than the dishwasher? Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike

Hi Mike, I actually like doing laundry at the park laundromat. Not only do I get more room for storage but It gives me an opportunity to meet other full timers. 😊

Hey this was our first tour video from the Hershey Show back in 2019! Wow we have been doing this a long time! Thanks for watching!!! We really appreciate the support! Mike and Susan

LOL! Quite the cynic! But it is kinda true. If you have ever tried to remodel an RV you would quickly discover that every time you move something you have to move something else and it creates a chain reaction because of the unintended consequences. So the designers are a little restricted as to what they can do. But there is always room for improvement. Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike

Great question and the answer is YES - but...not yet. They have a new floor plan coming out soon that offers twin beds. Here is a link so you can check out the floor plan. www.coachmenrv.com/print/floorplans/euro Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike

We agree but there is a serious debate about the bathroom sink. I say eliminate it and but a hand sanitizer dispenser in the bathroom - problem solved and more space for the shower and toilet! Thanks for watching! Mike

You are very welcome! We've been touring RVs since 2019 and loving every minute of it! It seemed like a lower cost luxury coach but it falls a little short. I would get rid of the dinette and install a TV location over top of a fireplace. We love to use TV trays while we eat dinner in our theater seats and watch TV. Thanks for commenting! Mike

Hi Claudio, This is a great point that you bring up but we don't cover the quality aspect of these trailers. Two of the same exact RV can be very different quality. And it all depends how you camp in your RV and how often you use it. And we would need to live in each unit for a year to see if it is really a quality unit or not. So we just stick to livability and then we leave it up to each viewer to research a unit they may be interested in. We always recommend getting an inspection and a good warranty wether you buy new or used. All that being said if Susan and I were going to buy a travel trailer we would buy one of the fiberglass brands or we would go with an AirStream. These hold up the best, have the fewest leaks, and they have the best resale value. So although the price is higher when you purchase, the overall cost is lower because you may spend less on repairs and you can recoup some of your money when you sell it. We currently own a Class A Thor and a Class C Gulf Stream and they have both had their problems that I have had to fix. But that is going to happen in every RV. Avoid Schwintek slides unless you want to get really good at making slide repairs or you have an excellent warranty without mileage limits and allows for mobile RV techs to make repairs. We have a warranty like this and it is awesome. In less than 2 years we have saved more than we paid for the warranty.. Hope all this helps! Mike

@@RVBlogger This helps tremendously Mike! Thanks so much.

Thanks for the suggestion Joyce. We are considering showing seat belts and also car seat tethers. What do you think? Mike

@@RVBlogger that would be great not only for grandparents but young families as well.

@@joycejohnson1396 Thanks for your feedback!

Hi Ronald, Do you mean into the shower or into the RV? If you are asking about the showers then the reason the raise the shower pans is so that the shower trap fits under the shower pan. The shower trap is a piece of pvc pipe in the shape of a sideways S and it traps water in it so that sewer smells don't enter into the RV. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for watching! Mike

Uh..., you attach your hose to the tank fill connection and turn on the water. Newer RVs have just one place to hook up the water with a valve that you turn from City Water to Tank Fill. That's how you fill your water tank. Thanks for watching! Mike

You are very welcome! Glad we could help! Hope you have a great day... Mike

We have plenty of videos about 5th wheels. Head over to our channel and check them out!

Appreciate the support! Thanks for the kind words and for watching! Mike

Your vote is noted! Thanks for commenting! Mike

Help an old dude out - is Raw good or bad? lol! Thanks for watching! Mike

Yeah - there is no good place for the TV in this RV and we really don't like the TV over the dinette either. I guess they had to out it somewhere... Thanks for your comment! Mike

Which one are you talking about? Countertops are prime real estate in any RV! Thanks for watching! Mike

@@RVBlogger the first one

I agree. For the first RV, I see no need to take up all the counter space with a huge double sink. Shrink the sink and have some counter space.

@@leahwheeldon3389 Absolutely!

She read this and she's on her way! RUN!!!! But seriously Susan does the dishes and I do the cooking - haha! We split most of our responsibilities and we have become quite efficient I must say. Thanks for watching! Mike

Thanks for sharing! All great points as usual! More countertop space is really important. Not enough is very inconvenient. The sofa in the Vegas does not jack knife into a bed. Thor considers this theater seating but it's really just a recliner. The Coachmen did have a unique design and we agree that the more amenities the better! Bring'em on! Thanks for watching and commenting! MIke

I agree! Some of these showers are barely big enough for me to get into! Great suggestion! Mike

In my experience, people who want a dishwasher aren't usually boondockers.

Most RVs are NOT designed for boondockers. The vast majority of RV owners use their RV for a one week vacation and a few weekends a year. So that is what most RVs are designed for - pedestal camping. If you were really boondocking you would probably never use your dishwasher.

What if instead of a dishwasher Euro offered a washer?

@@ozwomanid57 That would be prefect!

I have no idea? Maybe because this content applies no matter how old it is. Maybe you clicked on the thumbnail to watch it? I'm not sure what you mean?

Haha! The dishwasher is a hit!

Yeah - that is a good feature! Our bed slide broke once and we can't sleep in our bed if the slide isn't out...long night...

Hi Janice - that's a good point! Thanks for watching! Mike

So you make your own ice cubes but not in the shape of cubes? lol! I'm confused I think - can you explain this to me? Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike

@@RVBlogger I mean your comment about not being able to put an ice tray in these large drawers. We don’t like ice cubes in our drinks. Ever. So we don’t make ice in general. If we need ice for some project, we would just make a block of ice in any container and that would still work in these drawers. I personally have never understood people’s obsession with ice and ice makers. I drink my water at room temperature. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@theartistjodievans Thanks for explaining that to me. I get it - I used to drink soda at room temp. Hope you have a great week! Mike

Great observations Kim! We love our convection microwave! In fact I have some chocolate chip cookie mix to bake in ours one day this week! Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike

I thought it was odd not to have an overhead bunk. That's a better use of space for the occasional visitors like kids or grandkids. Great point and thanks for watching! Mike

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching! Mike

I don't think there are any new Class C RVs under $40,000. If you know of some please let me know! I'd like to check it out. Thanks for watching! Mike
