      Ultramobility likes: full size frig and freezer, very nice galley, great closet, and overall interior storage, good tank capacities, good energy management. Dislikes: front table looks like it will easily scratch frig and awkward positioning, tv sticking out into aisle, rather small bathroom for 24 foot rig, no bathroom counter or storage, not a single piece shower enclosure, no 3 point seatbelts in rear, lots of stuff to remove before making bed, didn’t like seeing the insulation and finishing behind drawers, especially the insulation. Makes me worry about insulation fibers getting all over my kitchen items. Definite turn off there. Inadequate warranty at only 1 year. Overall, not bad, but could use some tweaking. Maybe at $124,000 they had to cut a few corners to be in that price range.

    I would love to see you evaluate the best used Class Bs. It’s one thing to get high ratings when a van is new, but how do they hold up over time, how reliable are they over time, etc. Which ones are the best value for the money after five or so years? What are the repair rates (mechanical, integrity of workmanship and otherwise) over the first five years? Thanks for the excellent videos you do, Neil!

    Great thorough review. Like the layout and options for layout - full bed in the rear and mid-coach bathroom. Good maximization of storage space in the galley. They should consider maximizing storage options in the lounge and over the drivers compartment. Agree with your 2 main cons (open access to insulation would be a real issue if mice got in) and also think the high placement of the microwave is a concern for someone shorter (pulling hot food out from overhead could be tricky and even dangerous). But overall like this a lot better than some other Bs.

    I have something I have been wondering about for a while now. In a rear lounge set up, with the fold down couch, how big of a hassle are the seat belts when it comes time to make up the bed? I'm thinking you have to shove those seat belts down in the crack so they are not poking you in the back at bed time. Then you have to fish them out if you have passengers in the back.

    • @Ultramobility
      @Ultramobility  Před 4 lety +2

      yes that's exactly what you have to do. I push my part way down but not all the way down. far enough that you don't feel them when sleeping but easy enough to pull up when you have passengers. doesn't always work as sometimes the belts get pushed down through at night.

    Another great review Neil. Thank you! I agree at that price point a longer warranty is needed. Time for coachmen to up their game in their class b segment warranty. Thats long over due compared to their class b competitors. My guess as to why they havent is they may have to provide equally longer warranties across all their product lines to satisfy all their coachmen customer base. Just a thought. After watching a few youtubes of coachmen factory tours I was very impressed with their builds and advancements with cutting edge technology in their class b builds, but was a bit disappointed with the non complete fit n finish under the sink cabinet backing.. hello coachmen,, that's really just a small issue to address.. Otherwise Coachmen seems to doing some very positive things in the class b market and are apparently listening to their customer base.

    It's ridiculous to call this a 2020 MY when it's built on a 2018 chassis. Coachman must have a bunch of old chassis sitting around. That must be why it's relatively cheap for a Sprinter based 4x4 coach. Also, this coach won't get anywhere near 22mpg. Real world mileage for this van would be in the 15-17 mpg range. In fact, this one would likely get even less, since it's 4WD and the heavier extended chassis.

      how was I cheesy at the end? all drawers of this type on rvs have a locking mechanism requiring you to push the drawer in. there's a hook on the back of the drawer that catches onto a clip attached to the cabinet frame which is usually rated up to around 20lbs of force. that prevents the drawer from coming open while driving. it's not like normal residential drawers. however, that mechanism is still not consider positive locking. most class b rigs do not have exterior storage since there is no basement.
