- In this TH-cam video RVBloger tours and reviews three small Class C RVs under 26 feet with no dinette. All three of these Class C motorhomes are small and have full bathrooms!
In addition, one has a Murphy bed, some have slide-outs, and one has bunk Murphy beds. They all have amazing floor plans for full-time living or vacationing in a small Class C RV.
The Class C RVs under 25 feet without a dinette that we tour, rate and review in this video are:
0:00 Intro
1:18 Jayco Melbourne 24T
12:02 FR Forester (MBS) 2401B
23:25 Coachmen Cross Trail 20BH
Hi Everyone,
We hope you enjoyed our video! Which small Class C motorhome with NO dinette did you like best? Do you prefer a travel trailer, motorhome or 5th wheel? Please say hello by leaving a comment below and sharing your opinion about these RV floor plans.
Dinettes are on their way out in my opinion. They are uncomfortable and they are space hogs. Rather have a comfy love seat or a couple captains chairs with tv trays.
That seems to be the trend. Dinettes are on the way out. I love our dinette in our Class A and Class C RVs. But they aren't for everyone.
Yeah, as a single person the dinette makes no sense.
I really appreciate you showing the outside after the inside. Thank you.
Thanks! We like to show the outside whenever we can get to them. Sometimes the RVs are jammed in so tight at a Show or dealership we can't even get to both sides.
I love that they are finally getting rid of dinettes. It is to much wasted space for me. This is he first coachmen design that I really appreciate. Although I'd prefer half the size of the closet for a stand alone shower, and to replace one couch for a desk and a pop-up side counter. Love the fold up bunks and REAR DOOR!
Dinettes can be a waste of space! We really liked the unique design Coachmen did with their Cross Trail 20BH. It could definitely fit an active lifestyle. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Hey Mike & Susan! Happy Mothers Day to Susan 🌺
I wanted to start the comment off with, I appreciate when Mike pull the beds out and getting up on the different bed configurations. It really helps seeing the examples demonstrated.
Forest River Forester MBS 2401B is sleek in design. I like the attached ladder to get up top for the overhead sleeping area. The kitchen has ample countertop space, the sink is spacious. I also dig the pop up upper cabinets. I agree the swivel table top could be a bit larger.
I appreciate the blackout shades. I could pretend the window don’t exist around my head 😂 I could blackout the fact someone could stand at side window and peep in 👀 (I’m just teasing) 😅 It’s my favorite of the three options
Thank you so much MadeUpLikeADoll! 💚💛 So glad you like our interactive approach with RV features and size. It is the best way to see if something is too small, that's for sure. We think Forest River did a great job with the Forester too. Got everything you need in under 26'! Thank you for your support!
I really like the Forest River Forester! It's very well thought out and looks quite comfortable!
Love the Forest River Forester floor plan! Lots of great features like walk around bed and storage! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Definitely the Coachmen 20BH would fit my family perfectly! I absolutely love it!!! The 2 couches are awesome, I hate sitting at dinettes. Bunks are perfect for the 1-2 kids that come with me as well. I like it when they are murphy style and can be put out of the way when not needed.
The Coachmen is a nice travel trailer. Glad you like how well it fits your families needs!
Thanks for watching!
Mike
The no dinette is great. Need to have portable induction cooktop for more counter space, wet bath is a no for me. Love the Transit chassis.
I agree with you about the dinette and the cooktop. Having that portable gives you lots of counter space! Not a wet bath fan either. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Hi Mike and Susan! I like the jayco and the Forest River. I couldn’t decide. So I pick both. Thank you for showing these 3 rvs. Tell Susan Happy Mother’s Day even though it’s after Mother’s Day! 🌸🌷🌺 Havec a great week. See you soon!
Hi Sherri! Thank you for the Mother's Day wishes. We had a safe travel day yesterday so that was a good day! 🤣 Glad you liked the Jayco and FR floor plans. Have an awesome week! Thank you as always!
Happy Mothers Day Susan
Thank you Renee! Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day too!💛💚💐
I’ve watched several of your videos. I think they are the best rv reviews I’ve seen. What I mainly like, is in your reviews is you show us a price. You give us a great views of the setup. The only thing I have noticed that is what I like to see added is one or two negative comments about each review if there is something you’ve noticed and maybe they are there and I just have noticed.
I do name some negatives occasionally but we try not to be negative. And when we come across a negative item I try to handle it as an educational opportunity so people can learn from it. I'm hoping it comes across so smoothly you may not even notice.
Thanks for your feedback! We read every comment and take our viewers comments seriously so we can keep improving all the time.
Mike
I love this one. I don't like slide outs. I love the bunks for adults too.
That's a good one!
I understand dinettes ,being less popular nowdays but I think I'd like to have one only if I was working remotely and needed more laptop / office space. With that said, I preferred #2's overall layout the most. Another great video, folks!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked the video!
We have a dinette in our Class C RV and our Class A RV and we love them. We work, eat and play cards at our dinette tables!
Thanks for watching!
Mike
I like the Jayco. We don't have much counter space so we use a percolator for coffee. They made filters for them,so the coffee tastes the same.
I love percolator coffee! Great taste and reminds me of my grandmom! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
We have the Coachmen Cross trail. Owned it now for a month. We have been on a couple of trips and it works great for the two of us.
First impressions are it is nice and sleek, the engine pulls great and is very easy to drive. The only negative so far is the toilet/Shower area is a little tight. We are both 5’6”” and still find it tight.
Loving the ability to get out and about and explore the USA.
Hope you guys have a blast exploring and camping in your Cross Trail all over the US!!!! Thanks for the info about the shower area!
Mike
That is awesome!
I agree with all the comments regarding optional portable induction cooktops. Having a stove top is okay, yet they really need to sit front to back so you have more room on the countertop. Also, I see wasted space at the lower cabinets where a cutout for pet needs would be great. A leash latch near the door might be a selling point.
Having a portable cooktop is a great way to make usable counter space! We love that idea. You have some great storage ideas! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Sorry I'm late. Happy belated Mother's Day Susan !! Absolutely LOVE the Jayco !! Hallelujah, they are making an awesome comeback !! So proud of them for this model !! The FR is very nice as well but sorry to say the Coachman has taken over at the "do over" list. I too am not a fan of wet baths or that induction cooktop. Definitely needs some rethinking. A plus for all 3 is the price is reasonable. Thanks y'all and safe travels !!
Thank you Darryl, for the Mother's Day wishes! We agree, Jayco did a great job with their floor plan! Love the twin convert to king bed. The Coachmen is a very unique floor plan that wouldn't work for everyone. We aren't a fan of wet baths either. Thanks as always for your support!
@@RVBlogger Hope you had a wonderful day and thank you for taking care of all us kids !
@@darrylalford8879 🤣my pleasure!
They should have a induction cooktop that is portable
That would be nice. Great idea!
Thank you I was asking about ceiling height
I wasn't very clear
Oh gotcha! I usually mention the ceiling height of the RV right after I give the ceiling height for the shower. Perhaps I missed one?
Thanks again,
Mike
I would like to see the couch in..that way I can see how it looks as I would be driving!
Yeah we would like to show the slide outs in during our reviews but we can't always move the slides in and out. Especially at an RV Show.
But you get the idea.
Thanks for watching!
Mike
Please give depth measurements for overhead bunks. Those of us who hate confined spaces thank you
I almost always give the measurements of the overhead bunk. Maybe I missed one?
Thanks for watching and for your suggestion!
Mike
I like the Forest River Forester the best of these 3
Hi Patty,
That's a good one! Why do you like it so much?
Would love to hear your thoughts!
Mike
Peg board idea and implementation was all 100% Stacey. Phil had nothing to do with that idea. 🍻
If you say so! We aren't getting in the middle of that one - lol!
Phil and Stacy are great and we love hanging out with them!
Thanks for watching!
Mike
New Keurigs are slender. They’d fit on that counter. They also have reusable filters so you don’t have to use all that plastic.
That's very true. They make them much smaller with less waste these days. Thank yo for adding that and thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Don't like bunk bed or the gas stovetop.
Thanks for sharing!
What do you like?
That toilet in the first one looked awfully high....I a little over 5 ft. My legs will be dangling.......
I can relate! At 5'1" my feet dangle too!🤦♀️🤣Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!

Melbourne is a poor cousin copycat of the Winnebago Navion/View 25V. Cheaper finishes, cheaper details, economy version of the Sprinter chassis (note the smaller screen on dash: NOT MBUX)
Many RVs have duplicate floor plans with other manufacturers. That is not uncommon. Someone might be interested in a less expensive version of the View or Navion. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
For $164k, and they have a chincy two burner stove with plastic knobs. Pretty sad
Buy used and save a bundle!
@@RVBlogger Exactly
Dinettes are absolutely useless. Use that space for recliners or more couch length
Agree! We prefer the flex space of a sofa or theater seating with removable tables. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I’ve seen these go for $129k.
Yes, we've seen sales prices drastically reduced. Very grateful!. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I would love if half of your videos were covering no dinette rvs but the entire industry just seems SO reluctant to let got of that traditional rv layout. Ugh.
I'm mid 50's and yes, I HAVE eaten at a dining room table but as a latchkey kid, i prefer a more casual eating experience. Plus why wouldn't you dine outside weather permitting?
Robbing 25% of the interior for eating three 15 minute meals makes no sense to the majority. Especially with some of the inventive and convertible alternatives i have seen.
50 years from now we'll have hydrogen powered tow vehicles setting up yet another rv with a shitty dinette that no one wanted because the entire industry just won't let them go.
Have an outside wall flip down under an awning with 6 chairs where the propane tanks USED to be. That would be innovative. Quit shoving yet another GD dinette down our throat because your head floor plan designer lost their imagination 35 years ago and is jusy trying to get 2 more years of dinettes in before the pension starts.
We are definitely seeing less dinettes or a better evolution of the concept in RVs these days. I think they will become less popular as time goes by. RVs have been a stagnant industry for decades but with camping becoming more mainstream they are forced to rethink floor plans and usability. I'm looking forward to seeing these changes. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
My spouse loves a dinette! To eat, to plan our day, laptop work... A 2 person dinette can make sense in these size coaches
@@sgardner4156 We like the dinettes in both of our RVs, too, but the industry has evolved to make spaces more multifunctional, which is good for most folks. Thanks for sharing your experience, too!
Mike
