This is the rv we are buying. I really love everything. It checks all the boxes. I wish it had more solar and Ncad batteries but otherwise thats it. Love no propane. Love heated floors. And as a handicapped person this is a great coach.
Awesome! Where are you buying it from?
@@MattsRVReviews we are looking at different dealers in and around west virginia. We are waiting on my trust to settle and then we will purchase. But we have been looking for a couple years now. So after looking at each brand and What you get by far Fleetwood gives more bang for the buck. We like both the 40m and 40d. So we are keeping our eyes open for the best deal.
Greg Demott cool 😎 well when you get that 💰 give me a call 😁
Matt's RV Reviews would u be looking for a co/ pilot / maid..... ?
I must admit, you are the most down to earth RV salesmen I have ever seen. Makes me want to buy an RV from you.😜
Thanks so much I do appreciate it :)
Three things I liked about your review. 1. The giggle after the air horn, 2. Showing the coaches with the slides in, 3. Test driving the toilets, 4. Getting on the roof.
Three things I didnt like. 1. Please show the bedroom with slides in, 2. I don't recall seeing the pantry, 3.
Love the enthusiasm!
Thanks so much Chris I really do appreciate it
Awning switch is on the in command system.... you can use the screen next to the middle bath or use your app on your phone, that switch is only there for emergency
are you sure? I didnt see it on that control panel
Matt's RV Reviews sure am, you can actually see it on your review, when the camera person is going thru it....
really I doubled checked... let me look again lol
Matt's RV Reviews actually just looked at the manual and you might be right, only the door awning is in the incommand system
This is my favorite of the Fleetwood line I think. I could live in this!
You good sir are the best part of this video! Best sales guy ever! You need a TV show!
First 6 Top Things I like
👍🏻 Engine Torque Rating- Torque is King, 380hp with 1150 ft/lbs of Torque, ample start up & hill climbing power with the fuel economy & weight savings of the ISL 9l (but cooled with a rear mounted radiator? ugh 😑)
👍🏻 Composite Storage Liners- No Carpet to mold, mildew, and corrode metal beneath carpet
👍🏻 AquaHot System for continuous unlimited hot water, Coach and engine pre-heat
👍🏻 New Digital Dash with new smart steering wheel with integrated transmission controls
👍🏻 Newly re-engineered Freedom Bridge foundation
👍🏻 Front Disc Brakes with Tuned Suspension including V-Ride rear suspension system and Premium Tuned Sachs Shocks
Thanks so much Kent! I really appreciate you taking the time to do a detailed comment :)
Thank you Matt for your awesome videos, and taking the time to read & respond to my comments and sharing them with the factory reps so they can pass along to their manufacturers for continuous positive product improvements & innovations
a win/win/win for everyone.
The ladder is partial so that it’s more difficult to access the roof where you have $1000+ solar panels, $1200 satellites and other easily removable technologies.
That make great sense thanks David
The removable bottom half of the ladder is one of my favorite features!
I totally agree with you likes and dislikes! But, who in the world would put an awing button in the master bathroom? Lol keep up the great work... here is to the future!
Thanks so much Paula it was very silly
Love your enthusiasm and passion for RV reviews. Thanks for all the info and research. I've been to dealerships that weren't as well informed. Thanks
I think Jen is ready to do reviews also...I think the awning is on a remote. But nice coach., more Fleetwoods please.
Lol More Fleetwoods coming soon :)
I love it.
The 3 things I don't like.
1. price
2.Price
3.PRICE
Come on the prices of these things are getting completely out of hand. I understand that there are some folks who want the best of the best. But most of us just want it to work. Even if I was rich I wouldn't spend that on that. I'd get one custom made on a off road chassis.
I appreciate you watching and commenting 😬😆😁
Matt, you are crazy man, your reviews are entertaining and informative. Great job
Lol thanks so much Willie I appreciate you watching and commenting
This is a decent rig for a weekender with full hookups. It is not equipped for the full timer that might want to boondocks. Did anyone else think the placement of the second toilet was odd?😂
Do you mean the half bath? I agree :)
Great job Matt ....no salesman is going to go up on the roof ... love your work bro.
Thank you so much eyad! I really do appreciate it :)
Thank you for calling it a peninsula. On so many shows I hear them call it an island and it drives me insane LOL It’s a minor thing but you made my day with that.
Heated tile floors. ❤️ and the air horn 🤣
This is a nice combination of features for a low-end diesel pusher. The mobileye technology is also a neat feature which keeps the price low and if I am not right has speed limit recognition/display which may seem frivolous but when you in unknown territory this can save you some grief. Full feature collision avoidance and adaptive cruise control are usually on found on half-million dollar coaches. It is an option that comes integrated into the Freightliner chassis. Depending on the final price I think this a good value but the competition still has comfort drive.
Nice to see that you left the slides in at the beginning of the video. Some salesmen try to access the bays with the slides out, making it very hard for the viewer to see exactly inside the bays and see just how much storage there is in there. Salesmen get tired of bending over under the slide, so they just stop showing the bays or worse open them and close them quickly not allowing the camera time to view the bay. Getting on the roof and showing the interior with the slides in is another great move.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting :) I try to do what other salesman wont lol any recommendations you have I am glad to listen to :)
@@MattsRVReviews You have got a lot right already. Your camera person seems well on top of it also. I think sometimes inserting stills of displays and control panels can show more detail and easier to explain especially when you have to use extreme angles to get the shot. Your camera person got great shots of the dash and the control panels by the way. The prime example on this coach would be trying to show the control stalk for the transmission and engine brake on video. It is just easier to rotate the wheel out of the way and have someone take a still/video when seated in the best place to get a clear view of the stalk and that would be the driver's seat. To often this type of shot comes across as clumsy and at an extreme angle resulting in an unintelligible image because the commentator sitting in the place with the best view.
There are a lot of examples of the wrong way to do this on youtube. Most of the time I see such things because the people have not done a walk-through/rehearsal before, not knowing the product and or the competition. You can tell when salesmen are doing things on the fly and have really have not spent the time to do their homework on the unit.
The antithesis of your style is this RV one VP showing a Jayco Seneca.
czcams.com/video/NX7O0BGdciY/video.html
This person says upgrade or upgraded probably a 100 times and always saying the other guys don't do this as well as we do. I think they disabled the comments because of people were probably mocking him so much.
Then there is the guy who says "Most Outstanding RV in this Video" or "Most Awarded RV in this Video". I am not sure if he was trying to be funny, but because of his presence, it comes across as insulting. This guy does a dance with his cameraman in the bathroom that is so bad it's funny.
czcams.com/video/48sBs_ctf7E/video.html
The real masters of the rv tour are Chris Andeson of Mt Comfort RV and Patrick Botticelli of Colonial RV. Patrick has the advantage of being in the business for a long time so he knows his product (airstream) inside and out. He has a NY accent which makes him stand out in a positive way and gives out detailed info about why they build things the way they do, and tips to prevent common mistakes made by new owners. His biggest asset is that he is actually an RVer. I would probably never buy an airstream as I don't like towables but it would be very difficult to not buy one if he was my salesmen because he seems to really care that you have the best experience in your new RV.
Chris is just good at it, with a likeable personality and well-oiled presentation most of the time. His biggest weakness is his cameraman with batteries dying and not having extra sd cards and having to end the video abruptly.
You may not have the experience of these presenters but you're unique and knowing your product can really boost your sales.
Your honesty is brilliant . I would buy one from you .
Thanks so much Ploppy I appreciate you watching :)
Hi Matt! I just so happened to have found this video. I never saw this one until now. It was from before I started to watch your channel. I like this Fleetwood. My dislikes are the same as yours and my likes are the master bath and the bedroom and the dinette that turns into a office desk. Thank you Matt for showing this Rv.
Thanks Matt! I’m a long way from spending more on an RV than I did on my house, but I always learn so much from your reviews! I agree, stupidest place for an awning switch! 😂
LOL thanks so much Carolynne :) I agree I cant even afford the sales tax on this lol!
You have the best comments in the world. Good Job 16000/16000. Some very funny stuff
Thanks so much! What does 16000/16000 mean?
Agree with your hate of the overhead bunk blocking egress...........could be a death trap. The one solar panel on top is a joke. For that kind of MSRP it should have at least 3 160's or 200's..........enough to do some good. Should also have a in movement satellite dish standard, 1/2 bath should be a little larger. Better weight capacity on the killer drop down bunk. I think there are better rigs for less money.............of course I am a Entegra fan though :) Great job Matt and Jen!!! Going to hate to see her go.
Thanks so much Richard I appreciate you watching and commenting.. Make sure you subscribe to Jens channel :)
👍 Smashy! L: fantastic slide out space; all of the kitchen appliances, including washer/dryer; yup that bathroom is to die for. D: man you kept me hanging 22 minutes from when you hinted about disliking the awning, the stupid switch is totally inaccessible until the whole unit is parked, someone must've been on some nasty drugs in the design phase and then shared it with those who approved it! ; that ladder did look a bit scary, no header from the roof, let's do it from only five feet up; not a fan of the extra glossy tile floor but it does cover the heated floor. Other than the guy next door just how many others did you scare the crap out of when you laid on that awesome air horn? 💩💩💩🎷🎷🎷
Wow I love this unit! You honking that air horn I was dying laughing :)
Thanks so much Andrea it was SO Loud I love it !!!
Andrea I know this is an older video and Jen did a great job for sure!! But it just doesn't feel right without you!! ❤️
bro your behaviour and the way you act is awesome. and shows that what an amazing person you are keep it up mann and love your videos!!!!
Thanks 🙏 I just be myself :)
@@MattsRVReviews 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whenever you going to the roof I love to see solar and the cell boost
It can run all three AC’s at the same time on 50 amp or gen power. Also take care of your health. Type 2 diabetes and high LDL’s suck.
Awesome thanks so much
Also I will I am started my diet on mondya
Matt's RV Reviews me too! Wish us luck. 😊
Good review Matt,
I pretty much agree with all of your likes and dislikes the only thing I would add to the dislikes is at The price point of this coach I’d I think it should have a side radiator
Thanks so much Russell I appreciate your feedback… Thanks so much for being a member of the RV review crew
Our Girard awning has a remote control....maybe this has one and may not know.
I couldn’t find the remote I Hope this one has it
FlyinTruckr it is a remote awning
Lol, even if it does have a remote , the location for the actual switch is hilarious lol. And please know that I could never afford something this nice and I think it's pretty amazing. Still, seeing Matt show the switch just had me rolling lol. Love it
Matt, I do not agree on your last item that you do not like! I have the same ladder on my Fleetwood and I love it. The reason I do is, it keeps it so only the owner can get on the roof. I personally do not want kids or anyone else climbing onto my roof. With a ladder that come way down this would be possible. Oh, not sure I like the idea of a completely "electric" motor home. I like "old school" better. OK, rant over. Great review tho!!!!
Thanks Dale I do agree with you!
Nice RV but it seems you have shown some less expensive models with a lot of the same features. Is the two piece ladder designed to keep people from climbing up on your roof? Not sure if that would stop someone.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting :) Yea the ladder thing... I dont understand what would someone do if they get on your roof? LOL
DISLIKES: NONE LIKES: entire layout is perfect, huge shower, stacked laundry
Great video! Love Matt's funny attitude!!
You are addicted! We been binge watching you! Very entertaining and got me wanting a big rig. 😂😂
Sweet thank you so much
Like the coach would rather have a desk than the dining table area, bed sucks going up like that and awning switch, I like your presentation and your camera lady, good team
Thanks so much Peter Rabbit 🐇
Thank you Matt, love your reviews!
Thanks so much Ken! I appreciate you watching
Hi-Rise toilet in half bath. 3 air conditioners . Desk set up. Dislikes : bed mattress, batteries
Thanks so much Robert I appreciate you watching and commenting
i would have NEVER NEVER found that damn switch, lmao.
LOL I know right!
Thanks for the review Matt
I thought you would like it since it wasnt a Thor 😁😁😁😁
Wow that awning button is CRAZY! Agree with the bed blocking the door. Would hate to spend that money to deal with cracked tile floors. Good video
Thanks so much for watching and commenting :) And all tile floors will crack and break doesnt matter how much money the coach is :)
Three things I dislike
1. The awning switch placement.
2. The position of the toilet on an angle.
3. The dinette. I would like the booth better.
Oh. And the ladders and mattress
Everything else Like
Awesome thanks so much Danette :)
Omg Matt, you had me dying laughing after Jen said such a spacious area and you did your thing lol. Whippersnappers lol.
1. Love the outside paint colors! And beautiful, elegant, calming inside decor. 2 Love the whole bathroom (except for the shade switch - is that a wiring issue?) 3. Love the embedded iPad control system panel, along with bedside lights-off button. 1. Dislike? For pull-out credenza extension, is there a support leg for the table? If not, that's just another thing to break. 2. Dislike? Re overhead lights - can you dim them or turn off some of them? 3. Why is there a sectional ladder? Is that for kid safety? Is it too fragile? 4. No propane backup? All electric? What if you get stuck someplace like March 2020 during the beginning of the coronavirus? But I don't know how the electric/diesel/propane thing works. 5. On passenger side, need the lift and slide out desk table for map reading, using iPad/laptop to make reservations, etc.
You have to get into the engine from the back. Cant have a permanent ladder to do that.
I think that a tankless hot water heater should be available, at least as an option, at least for a class A motorhome. Hot water is one of the first things you run out of, at least when traveling with my wife.
William Federle Aqua hot = endless hot water!
I like the long wheelbase. I bet it makes for a nice ride.
I love the coach. My only dislike is the Dallas Cowboys Paint Color
LOL thanks so much Mr. Coleman! Thats what I said when it came in... But it looks so good I might become a Cowboys fan lol
Lots of snaping going on in this one. Very nice coach. We want to see you do the floss again in the beginning lol.
Lol thanks so much 😂 I cant do all my moves in 1 video 😂😂😂
Thanks for the air horn warning
It be nice to get items from within by pocket doors on floor. Nice camper!!
Yes I agree
An RV that has a morgue tray. Cool. 08:12.
Thanks so much Mark!
380HP for 40ft is way under-powered. Fine on level roads but it will slow way down on any incline. NEWMAR changed their NEW AIRE this year to correct the same problem. I agree with the comment below about the paint. It’s ridiculous. The inverter is just big enough to need to be replaced. With three AC units I would think a 3000 watt inverter would be required. Most manufacturers use the inverter jus to run the residential fridge.
Like the counter space, tv placement, and the drop down bed above the cab. I like you two. Your energy is infectious. I think your videos will get better and better. Don’t be afraid to invest in a lapel mic.
Lol thanks so much Ashley! I did get a mic it will be on next video :)
Are you sure about that camera selector? I have the TV on and am pressing the button and it's not showing any
The awning control is part of the touch panel control center I think.
Also the Girard integrated awnings are beautiful...... all you have to do is extend them to see.
Sure wish you would have dropped the O/H bed to see. Just because you’re not a fan doesn’t mean others aren’t.
Keep up the reviews and good luck
thanks so much tim and Negative on the touch pad lol i checked it 4 times :)
@@MattsRVReviews Did you ever find the awning control or reach out to Fleetwood?
They are remote controlled. You get 2 with the coach. The box in the bathroom is the main incase you have to reset it etc.
I love everything about this motor home!
Kinda late I do like it but your right on with the awning switch.
That motorhome could be turned into a whole tiny home I would live inside of that for the rest of my life 🤣😂 btw 400k ._. almost half way to $1000000 400k is already more than a Lamborghini + my house 🤣
at that price point all those batteries should be on a slider. I hate the location of the fireplace. a fireplace should be a nice focal point in my opinion not something you cram into the corner behind the dinning table just so the manufacturer can brag about having one. I would also rather see the TV moved to where that painting is above the fireplace. it would be awesome in my opinion if the covers for the sink or cooktop were butcherblock cutting boards. I mean for 400k why not right...or maybe my on call chef can bring her own. lol at this price point the tilt and telescoping steering wheel should be powered.
LOL Thanks so much Rodney I appreciate your feedback :)
why do you slam the drawers and doors both opening and closing?
Great job buddy, very funny as well. Would you be doing a Super C next time.
Thanks so much I have some super C videos made already :) check them out
Does the waste water have an emulsifier?
What is that?
Emulsifier? It grinds the waste in the black tank to a purée consistency so the waste water pours out smoothly. Also, while I’m at it, are there jets inside the blank tank to vigorously clean the tank after the water is dumped. There are a lot of RV’s That have these features.
Definitely need more diesel pusher reviews!!! Thanks
I just moved to Florida last week! More Diesel Pusher Reviews coming soon!!!
@@MattsRVReviews great, welcome to Florida!
Robert De Mott thanks!!!
This unit screams for the use of Lithium batteries. All electric and old school batteries? Are you kidding me? As well as only one solar panel. The cost of this coach puts in in an area that should dictate only the best equipment is used. Not something as outdated as old school batteries and such. It simply does not have the power to spare to run all that lovely equipment on the road. Yes I realize that this is a park only unit and is not something someone would want to boondock a lot in. However in transit you may have to overnight at spots that do not have full hookups. So why get stingy with your electric when everything in the coach needs it so much.
It really is time for the companies building these rigs to wake up to the fact that we use these now so much differently than they were used in the past. People full time in them as well as long road trips. So we need to be able to use these rigs no matter what the situation is. Generators are costly to run and maintain. Solar is not always useful either. However a combo approach is what a lot of full timers do now days and the units have to be refitted to even do that much. You should not have to spend this much on a coach just to have to have it refitted so that you can even use it.
Oh yes... A 2000 Watt inverter is a bit on the small side when all of that coach is electric. Just food for thought...
Thanks so much Steven for watching and commenting I do appreciate your two cents
@@MattsRVReviews dont trust lithium batteries may blow up the coach when your sleeping remember those hover boards remember that boat?
Great job Matt! I love your reviews.
Matt, does this vehicle have adjustable gas and brake pedals?
Things I don’t like..rather have a dinette then chairs, the entrance is on the passenger chair side, shiny floors are not good. Everything else is beautiful
Thanks so much Suzy! I appreciate you watching and commenting
One Word: BIG!!!!
Thanks so much Eric!
It was a band hearing for concrete Blonde band " she's gone, and crib girl, songs so I like your presentation. I live in Ventura. Nina Basagic alius Johnette Napolitano
Do NOT Like:
1. Carpet on the slides.
2. Ladder
3. Bunk over the front
Like:
1. All-electric
2. Digital dash
3. Telavator
Matt you need to find the remote for the awning
Love the seating , best I've seen.
Thanks so much Robert I appreciate you watching and commenting
For a luxury model, they have a 50amp cord reel however, I’m disappointed they do not provide pull out service trays for the batteries
Thanks so much Raymond for watching and commenting
Love the colors inside...outside and the floorplan...don't like the Tail Lights...they look like Import APC tails. I'd love to take that down the highway for a weekend though.
Lol 😂 yes I would love the demo this myself 😁
I love the big bed, the bathroom and the great kitchen! I don’t like the door placement, the overhead bunk blocking the door or the awning control in the bathroom! I don’t even mind that it is all electric but I wouldn’t have this much money tied up in a rig to go camping in!!! Although it is an awesome rig, not my style!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting Dee :)
Love your videos man. Warts and all. 👍🏻
Thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
Apart from the three dislikes Matt has shown this is a marvelous mobile home that I could see myself in ....not a problem ...well apart from the cash to buy it :-) :-) :-)
I like the way the ladder is because some people have reported that people got on their roof at nite, the lack of space to get in the half bath when the slides are closed would have been my third dislike
Thats a great point Ben! I must say Ive never heard about people climbing on roofs lol. Why would they do that?
Matt's RV Reviews harassment
The engine is in the rear you can not have a fixed ladder because you will not be able to open the engine cover.
Tiffin did NOT “do that window first”. It originally was used in the Gulfstream motorhomes.. Tour Master
Don’t like
1) All electric
2) Not enough solar
3) Small 2,000 watt inverter
Like
1) Fully digital control panel
2) Great floor plan
3) Lots and lots of storage
Thanks so much Mark! I appreciate you being apart of the RV Review Crew :)

This coach is beautiful. I heard that it’s not an all season coach (due to a water seal something when the slides are out). Is that true? I can’t imagine that, it doesn’t sound right!
That entry door just doesn't flow with the side of the RV!
Why only electric? Needs LP to offset when you aren't using full hookup.
Only 1 solar panel and only a 2k watt inverter? Seems like they stopped short of offering a complete 12V system for real use.
What’s not to like about this coach ? Ok maybe the price lol
LOL your right about that!
What are better class C's B's Or class A"
We love your videos! My husband is going to retire soon and we are very interested in 5th wheels. Doo you have videos of those?
@Leslie Haggart- He does review 5th wheels and started a new channel recently where he and Andrea show those reviews. It's called @Matt's RV Reviews Towables
This is just my personal problem I will admit. a rookie calls it a Cummings engine nae nae nae it's a Cummins engine, simply drop the g. But your commentary is entertaining nonetheless, thanks.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting :) I will drop the G :)
Second 4 things I Don’t like explained below “why”
👎 1. Solid Front Axel
👎2. Rear Mounted Radiator
👎3. Cab Dropdown Bunkbed
👎4. Gap below entrance steps
In detail as to why:
1:No independent Front
Suspension: A coach with independent front suspension is superior in ride quality, stability and control and takes full advantage of the Vride rear suspension. A classs A Diesel Pusher coach in this price range should always include independent front suspension.
2: Rear Mounted Radiator. As with all diesel pushers with rear mounted radiators, they are located behind the engine which draws in air over the hot engine which in turn heats the air before going into the radiator which means the cooling system and engine can work nearly twice as hard to maintain safe operating temperatures compared to Side Mounted Radiators, especially when under heavy loads such as towing, lots of hill climbing, extreme hot weather, loaded to maximum weight carrying capacity, traveling in higher altitudes/elevations such as traveling through the Colorado Rockies, etc. Also, rear radiators limit access to the engine so it typically takes much longer to perform maintenance driving up costs and guaranteed more times mechanics will be walking through your rv to access the engine through the trap door located on the floor in the rear of the coach. Thus, increasing chances to damage tiles, get grease, dirt, oil smells etc. in your coach. In this product category and price range there are coaches that come standard with a side mounted radiator. Pick what best fits your needs, how one is using and where one will be traveling which are key determining factors if a side mounted radiator is best or can live with the disadvantages of a rear mounted radiator.
3: Front Overhead Dropdown Bunk: Don’t like class A RV’s pilot/copilot direct overhead drop down bunk for frontal crash & fire safety reasons: If the coach main exit is located by copilot seat, a overhead dropdown bunk in the down position at this location obstructs the main exit and thus is a fire safety hazard. Secondly, in a class A RV, there is very little structural mass & distance protecting the pilot/copilot area, and any items attached directly above this area, if become detached, which can happen during a frontal impact, will directly impact into the pilot/copilot area and even block the main exit if located next to copilot seat. Thus it is vital to know how your particular coach is manufactured before you purchase it. Learn what type of materials and construction techniques are used which vastly differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. While one manufacturer in all their class A RV’s installs a 360 degree welded high strength steel superstructure surround cab safety cage that protects the pilot/copilot from the windshield to several feet behind the cab seats, plus bonds the windshield to the high strength steel cab superstructure with automotive grade adhesives, and attaches all cabinets to steel reinforced backer plates that are hidden within the coach walls, other manufacturers use little to no steel reinforcement above the coach chassis using basically wood, aluminum, fiberglass, screws, glue, bolts and staples in the coach construction above the steel chassis providing no real protection to pilot/copilot areas and attachments of cabnits etc. Thus, if a class A RV cab dropdown bunk is a must have item, do detailed research on what type of materials are used and where and how all items are constructed, installed, attached and secured to the front and rear caps, walls, floors and roof as they vastly differ between manufacturers and there are no government class A RV structural construction crash test standards. In the rv industry many items are “industry self regulated”.
4: The Huge Gap below the outside entrance step when in the retracted position is not only ugly, gaps like this can cause disruption in aerodynamic efficiencies causing air turbulence producing harmonic & inharmonic vibration, increased wind noise, lower gas mileage & additional driver fatigue, especially in cross wind conditions.
There are so many items to love about this coach but the above 4 items are “big no factors” for many in this price range.
Wow these are super good Pros and Cons especially if someone is seriously consider buying this :)
Why don’t motor homes have bath tubs? I’m disabled and can not stand long enough to take a shower, I would need a tub.
Idk thats a good question
Love the dinning area, bathroom and all electric. Not a fan of awning switch, converter location, or mid bathroom toilet, it looked off center
Thanks so much John! Yes that mid toilet is stupid lol it was kinda tight
It’s gorgeous! 🤩
I agree it might be the best paint job Ive seen on a Motorhome :)
That's cool
I’m a big guy, no way could I use the restroom without putting a slide out. That alone would be a no sale.
I agree Mel. It is a big deal for me as well :)
Check the key fob for the awning switch
Well if its on the key fob then thats cool lol I will check it tomorrow :)
Please do not say Cummings again!... there is no G in the word Cummins
Lol wait until you see the next video :)
Yes this is a pet peeve of all of us Cummins guys.

Thanks so much Clive :)
Nice, just too big for me. I think most state a federal parks don't allow RV's longer than 32'. How about a review on a nice 32 footer TT or MH.
I will thanks so much Aaron
@@MattsRVReviews I'd like to know what you think about the Rockwood Geo Pro 19QB
Aaron Buckel very small TT but it’s good
Is there a rear egress?
What does that mean?
In most motorhomes there is some kind of rear emergency exit. Usually a window but in some larger coaches it's a "hidden" door in the bathroom. I believe that is what they are referring to. By the way, love your channel! I think you have me sold on the Sportcoach!
What is the CCC of this model?
Nice
No propane oven is my only dislike
Thanks so much Stephanie! I appreciate you watching :)
