My wife and I bought this model last September and are still waiting on its delivery. We ordered ours with both driver and passenger swivel chairs and full body paint. Ours will have a darker interior.
I love this motorhome. A bathroom I could actually live with (just swap out the toilet). I love the kitchen with an oven and great size fridge. Wish the seats swiveled, and I'd probably swap that mattress, but the price looks great. If I had my wish I would be down the road and gone with this beauty.
Yes very 👍
I have this motorhome and there were steps missed on the bed setup: the sofa moves forward to be a better foundation and it has a support board that pulls out to support the hinged mattress section.
Also, we have swivel seats as an option.
We love the layout.
The murphy bed makes the space feel huge for such a compact unit.
Hi, what kind of toilet would you put in?
@@rosacore7007 I'd go with porcelain, though others have said composting. I don't know much about those.
Where is this located? How long is the deal week free? I've been following you Matt & Andre a couple yrs now. Probably was under 1antiquejunkie. I'm looking to make a move soon. Also can you pull a Honda Suv behind one of these? Possibly looking to go this route and find additional housing in around close to beach? Thanks so many do this job now thought about myself lol You are the 1st & longest I've watched..💕
This is the best floor plan in a small motorhome I have seen in a long while! Well done!
Live this one. We have been looking for something with NO bunk over the cab. We wish you and Andrea talked about the murphy bed and if it can come down while the slides are in. As empty nesters we are looking hard for a class B+ but one of the biggest things we are looking for is a bed that can be used even if the slides are not out.
Matt:
I have this motor home & love the layout so much!
We ordered with swivel seats.
Also: the end of the bed has a support board that slides out to support that hinged section of the mattress!
Plus the couch also must motorized more forward for a more complete foundation.
The bed is very comfortable! Set up takes no time at all and we love how much space it gives such a compact unit.
Another hint on the bed: it is possible to use the murphy bed without putting out the slide if one partner doesn’t mind not having walk-around to the bathroom. We’ve done this when we have done a quick overnight in a parking lot.
Ps. Its a BT5240 not 5420!
Do you know what the CCC is by chance?
@@suemeyer7551 I was going to ask the same thing!!
@@suemeyer7551 ours is labeled at 1990.5 with the water tank full weighing in at 349 pounds.
@@terristokes3460 1990.5
@@NorthCoastGirl1 thanks for the great info. Love that the bed can be used with the slide in!
Our first RV was a 2004 BT Cruiser 24 foooter. We took it round trip cross country .. 8500 miles in one month. The layout in that unit was also exceptional. The #1 didlike we had was the bed was a jack knife sofa bed. The murphy type bed in that unit is a game changer. Plus the extra storage the extra foot in length gives you is amazing. This is a great unit at a great price! Great review!
You forgot to tell us the CCC. Is there storage under the couch??? Lithium option??? Nice unit.
Ours is labeled at 1990.5 ( water tank full is 349)
Have to say one thing I really do not like the windows are covered by the Murphy bed and tv. I guess I like light.
Been watching Matt’s RV Reviews for a few years. I’m so GLAD that I subscribed a couple of months ago! You both are a great team!
I love it. I couldn’t tell if there was enough room in the cab for someone tall. The Coach House doesn’t have room for my 6’1” husband. He’s too tall to drive it. This is my favorite. I’d like a porcelain toilet too with a sprayer.
Two recliners would be nice. They’d have to fold forward though to make way for the bed.
I want this RV!
Oh, and what’s the CCC?
Our unit is labeled at 1990.5 pounds (349 for full water tank)
@@NorthCoastGirl1 thank you!
I don't understand why they dont make the driver & passenger seats super lux and passengers seat a lay flat / that way you'd have 2 sleep spaces. lose the Murphy and make it a twin
THIS is my dream RV!! I've been looking at it for 2 years now. Rarely do you find them on re-sell sites so I figure those who purchased one must love it to hold on to it. They are hard to come by even with dealers searching for one for me.
I'm a solo traveler and that fireplace/tv set up is just perfect with the murphy bed. And the bathroom is just what I'm looking for as well.
OH!!...and I believe you have your model numbers transposed. This is a BT Cruiser #5240B.....not 5420....isn't it?
This is the one, as close to perfect as you can get!
Yes, the mattress isn’t the greatest (maybe a mattress topper would fix the fold over problem) and Heaven knows a porcelain throne is preferable…..
But the bathroom layout and all that storage in such a small rig is amazing.
Great video as usual
I have this and unfortunately, Matt got the bed setup wrong. The sofa must also move forward in addition to going flat. Then there is a support board that slides out to support that hinged section of the mattress. The bed is very comfortable! (We also have swivel seats as an option)
@@NorthCoastGirl1
I went back and checked out other videos on this rig and while Matt lowered the sofa properly he forgot to press the second button to slide the Jack knifed sofa away from th wall. He also forgot to pull on the straps to slide the bottom support on the folding part at the foot of the bed….
Also, like you said before, you can add swivels to the 2 captains chairs up front.
I think while Matt and Andria know their stuff they should watch a company video on the RV they’re going to review as well as a walk through so they can see how things work….
I love this motor home. I love the layout and the decor.
Deduct $1500.00 for a plastic toilet. A small Class C for a single person who would have to upgrade the whimpy mattress to a extra nice mattress. Matt we have some triple digit temperatures in Texas. Been to Daytona Beach in early 2000 in July, wasn’t cold there either. The best part was walking on the beach at night plus sitting on the balcony drinking coffee & watching the dolphins
I love this motorhome. My only complaint is the outdoor vertical storage seems small. Amazing floor plan. Great video
I love this floorplan. Such bathroom and amount of storage in a small motorhome is incredible. Thank you for great review.
Nice review!! Nice use of space on this little unit. I don't like the cabinet that opened down, I think they will get broken. Nice that it has a place for the table!! Love the televator and that the couch is electric! Too small for us and the 3 dogs but great little unit!!
I would rather have a bunk and no slideout in a B+. However love the TV and fireplace. Thank you for a great review.
Even if this was the worst B+ on the market I would still love it. I've never seen a spare on any of these motorized units!! Wow
The 2018 version of the Renegade Vienna had this floor plan but it allowed for more space because of the manner in which Renegade approached the cabinetry, etc.; I don't know why Renegade went away with it because it was awesome!
This is NOT MATT, this is a Fake Spammer! Reported!
I love this floor plan! Best bathroom (except the plastic toilet) I have seen in a Class B, B Plus and C motorhomes. Also the Televator was done correctly (flush mounted to the countertop)
But, is that stained mold on the Murphy bed mattress? I sure hope not!
Matt I love this motorhome. It’s the best B+ I have seen! Love the bathroom but the toilet we Dan swap that out! But so sure of the mattress I would sleep on the couch. Wish the chairs can turn around but not a deal breaker. I love everything else. The place where the table is I love that. Love the tv placement and the refrigerator. It’s all very nice size. Love the storage. Thank you Matt and Andrea for showing this Rv.
I have this unit and we ordered with swivel seats.
Unfortunately, Matt did not get the bed setup correct. The sofa slides forward to further support plus there is a support board that slides out to support the hinged section if the mattress. It’s very comfortable.
@@NorthCoastGirl1 Oh ok! Thank you glad you let her know about the bed. It dies look comfortable. Thus class B+ is the best I’ve seen! Thank you again for telling me about the bed.
HOLY MOLY! I absolutely love this motor home.
LIKES: … 🧐 … EVERYTHING!
Love the colors, design, storage, etc. etc. etc. …
I do like the valances too. Sorry Andrea. ☺️
DISLIKES: … 😧 … I have to give at least one and that’s the plastic toilet 🚽! ☹️
I absolutely love this RV! Love the televator TV. Love the couch/murphy bed. Love the storage! Love the bathroom. Love the price. Finally somebody got it right with this floorplan.
I really love this design. If they had a bunk over the cab version of this RV I would go buy it right now.
Just curious. Why fiberglass on the roof, rather than the stuff that’s on the sides? I take it, then, that fiberglass can’t delaminate, or peel?
Great job doing review...
Prefer floor plan with bed and bathroom in the back.
Swivel seats , kitchen nook when u walk in and second bed above the cab....and no more then 24ft.....thanks arnie
You’re getting sneaky Matt, and once again, 100k was plenty close enough. Thumbs up and thanks guys!
Amazing, Awesome, Great floor plan for a mobile office!! I would quickly Replace the Murphy bed with some XL Valencia Cinema Series Theater Seats, An Auto Down feature for the TV and Porcelain for #2.
Just ordered my tshirt after seeing this bathroom! The only thing it needs is a porcelain toilet!
I loved this one!!!!! I love those valences also, sorry Andrea. love that back splash. Wow, I really want this one. I will have to show my husband
You could definitely live in that. In fact, it is one of the smartest ideas for someone living in a class B sized RV.
Hey so this is a great unit .. I didn’t
get the cargo carrying capacity ? What is it? (Reply below was 1990.5) .:. The cargo capacity is good 👍🏽 some E350 units are a bit low; I like the Murphy bed 👍🏽 it should be easy to fix the overhang; the bathroom is big 👍🏽 and accessible with slides in .:. I wish there was one other sleeping place 👎🏽(I guess we tow a pop-up if we need LoL); I’d option the swivel seats 👎🏽it would really improve the living area; I’d option the cockpit for the full device interface 👎🏽 car play is a convenient option for navigation apps .:. All In all the price point gets us some nice features and we’re on the road !!
Ours is tagged at 1990.5 ( water tank full weighs 349).
We love our unit!
Yes, seats can be ordered to swivel. The murphy bed end is fully supported..a few set up steps were missed in the video.
Give me porcelain or give me death! Murphy bed what the? Get rid of the center cabinets to get down in cockpit.
Love the televator, the storage for the table, and the bathroom and the toilet position.
Wow, that is a great RV. If my wife was willing to go to Texas I would be driving that beauty to work every day. Ps: thanks for the great series suggestion.
I do like this motorhome but the bed confuses me as well. I'm wondering if something was missed in the set up as the floppy end seems a miss when the rest of the unit is nicely designed?? Also, one swivel chair would be nice as our couch is also hogged by the dog. We who travel with dogs are a bit nuts, I admit, but it has to be considered. Nice job Gulf Stream.
Yes, he did not set this up as designed! The sofa moves forward and there is a support board that pulls out to support the hinged section. We love ours! Ps. We ordered with two swivel seats.
Love this one. And honestly: the valance pattern goes pretty well with the back splash. And you don't have to put out the slide out to sleep on the road!
as to the plastic toilet... how many pounds are they saving? It is a 350 and not a 450 after all. what's the cargo capacity?
I think the heat got to me 🤣watching now I think they are fine
As a big guy. I would suggest a 450 chasie for the better cab room. Plus the seats could maybe be made too swivel.
We make units on the 350 and 450, but I've never noticed any difference between the 2.
I totally enjoy K-Dramas!
Thinking like you two, this is a day tripper with a rest area cooking and bathroom. The price is not bad either.
I would not sleep in it unless there was no room at the inn.
Probably went with plastic toilet as adding a porcelain would have taken up most of the cargo carrying capacity. 😀
Wow wow wow! I’d already come up with a shortlist of things I loved about this class B while watching the review but the price tag blows all of them out of the water. Great job Gulfstream!
get rid of the queen bed.... Put a double bed. I you can do this without a slide, I an so in to this one.
I love the floorplan, outdoor storage, and shower space. I will never enjoy being snapped at.
It really shows how much extra space having a murphy bed can give you in the other areas you use.
This is NOT MATT, this is a fake spammer! Reported!
Thank you Jeannine I removed it
During the video, you mentioned a couple of times that you can’t live in this model. May I ask why not?
As far as I can tell, it has a bathroom, kitchen, bed, fridge, and shore power connection, so I’m confused as to what it’s missing or why a person wouldn’t be allowed to live in it.
Matt I’m overwhelmed. What would be your suggestion for couples travel trailer,
We had a Rockwood mini lite 2205s that was lovely. It had theater seating with drink holders and a true queen bed. We were sorry to trade it in, (almost got what we paid for it) but we are planning a long trip and upgraded to a class C for easier parking and no more crawling on the ground to connect to our truck, as we are in our late 60s.
This is NOT MATT, this is a fake spammer! Reported!
I would turn the tall outside storage into a hanging closet for clothes 😊.
Matt Could the "Plastic" toilet be switched out for a Porcelain unit ? Also much improved on the sound quality on your camera microphone both while outside and inside ( minus the loud ac unit ). Very nice layout and lots of storage !! This would be a great unit.
@15:55 - I got that TLK reference. Well done.
I'm shocked by how great that bathroom is, minus plastic toilet. You have an actual spacious bathroom in a B+, who would've thought that was possible. The price point is also great for what you get, class B's with barely a wet bath and folding gizmo bed are $200+. Great option for me and my two smaller dogs to travel in, but I cannot afford anything other than a tent right now.
also matt the model is 5240B not 5420B in the title. please drink more cold water next time and some gatorade when it is that hot you can fry and egg on your forehead.☺
Matt you said it's good for engineers and people who need an office on the road. It's also great for pro athletes who travel amd want to have their food and nutrition with them and also room to do some stretching. Professional trail runners amd weekend marathon runners
This is not Matt, this is a fake spammer!
Guys - Andrea mentioned carrying capacity when you walked into the rig, but then nobody actually read it - can you share what this is? Very important for those of us looking at B+ to tow something.
Love the bathroom. But should be porcelaine indeed! Thanks for the review.
Like televator, fireplace, white cabinets, oven, couch into auto queen bed, dry bathroom, large shower, storage, price.
I honestly have to say this is the one I would buy. Agree it’s needs a porcelain toilet and hopefully could be switched out. I believe my pup and I would love this. About being in Texas with this heat, it’s torture!!! I’ve lived in DFW for 25 years 😮. Ready to travel soon and live in an RV. Need to go look at this one. Is it in DFW?
This is a great layout. Everyone wants PORCELIN TOILETS! The bathroom rocks otherwise. Add a counter extension to the left of the sink, too. The sofa need to be light in color, or at least two tone to improve the look. But this is a great surprise!
BT CRUISERS ROCK!!!!
Beautiful motorhome, love cruising. Love you guys. Cheers 😘😚
I have a 2004 and love my RV / B+ 😊 the new one is awesome 👌🏾
I am looking at a 2004. What is your mpg? Any things you don't like? How is the couch/bed?
@@angelacummings4644 I believe 35 suga , fabric on roof ( Interior) & toilet . Totally agree with Matt about porcelain seating🚽🚽🚽🧻🧻. Sofa 🛋 sleeps just fine definitely updating soon. One color only.
That bed setup will work great for shorter people. This little motor home is great, and could be easily be for longer stint usage.. Me and the wife could rv for a while in this thing..
Unfortunately, Matt missed a few steps on the bed setup! The sofa slides forward as a better foundation and there is a board that pulls out to support the hinged end of the mattress.
BT is super however, what is up with the loud AC? We heard it at Hershey and now this video-is that how all AC units sound?
I really really like this motorhome! I agree with your likes and dislikes. I would like to see a better kitchen. No real drawer space. The bathroom is awesome! Andrea! First time I disagree with you about the valances. I like them. lol CCC is good too. Would want solar and as much as I could get! And would want an enclosed docking center. Glad to see no bunk over the cab.....just storage!!! Awesome! Thanks for the video!!!!
And continue the backsplash around the entire kitchen. Too many rv’s do this and it doesn’t look right
I like this! Is this an AWD all-weather RV like the Winnebago Ekko Class B+? I like the Ekko because it is AWD and has thick walls for insulation.
rwd
woot! got me a shirt! now just gotta add a rv to that! be so much fun to ship to big island!
BT cruisers are awesome, biggest down side is the storage
Just to let everyone know…..
Matt didn’t set up the Murphy bed correctly….
There are 2 buttons on the couch’s armrest….
One flattens it.
The other slides the couch forward.
You have to move the couch forward then flatten it.
After lowering the bed in place, there’s a short shelf to support the end of the mattress so you won’t fall off and hit the floor.
So Utrid, son of Utrid ….
You should do a walk through before taping so you can acclimate yourself with how things work.
Fantastic floor plan, perfect couples RV!!! Colors are fantastic, if I were to be picky.. Cup holder and center console could be a bit higher.
I’ve had my eye on the Entegra Odyssey 26M, but this one is giving me second thoughts. 🤔
Very nice!!!
Our pup would be on the sofa with us too.
Putting a plastic toilet in that huge perfect bathroom is like having a gold diamond worth a million dollars on a plastic chain out of a quarter machine at a grocery store
Bummer you missed the ccc. 😔. Definitely can tell the heat was wearing you guys down 🥵. Looks like a fun little RV for a couple traveling for weekends. Plastic toilets shouldn't be an option lol.
Ours is tagged at 1990.5 (water tank full is 349 pounds)
Amazing 2 person motorhome
LIKE THE LAYOUT THE KITCHEN THE REER BATHROOM DON’T LIKE THE PLASTIC TOILET NO SWIVELED SEATS
We ordered two swivel seats on this unit
We have this unit…ordered with swivel seats.
They should look at the Unity Murphy bed with a televator to fix their Murphy bed problem
Love the storage this model gives. Like the different design. Agree that the murphy bed is a disappointment for anyone who is taller. If someone is under 5 ft 5 inches, it might not be such a disappointment. Like that backsplash and that nice round deep kitchen sink!
Unfortunately, Matt missed a few steps on the bed setup! The sofa also moves forward and there is a support board that pulls out to support the hinged section of the mattress! We own this unit and sleep very comfortably!
Anyone who doesn't like murphy beds, this one could easily be removed and a regular RV or house sofa bed installed, thereby reclaiming the wall and window behind the murphy pulldown. One could easily remove the one that comes in the RV, and create their own style and design sofa bed, to allow an eating area with underneath storage, too. There are many possibilities to have this just the way you want/need, instead of being factory decorated only.
"The Last Kingdom" is officially on my future watch list. Thanks Matt

Sweet! Thanks for bringing it back! Lol love it!

@@jeanninemartin5507 thank you!
I love that show!!! I'm addicted to it! Get ready to cry tho
This is NOT MATT, this is a fake spammer! Reported
I actually love this motor home bed and all.
We have this and love it! The bed is great. A few steps were missed - the hinged end of mattress IS supported. We ordered with swivel seats.
I have a question for you all.
Why don't the R V builders use the Ford Tansit more.
Like putting the 7.3 litre engine.😅
What I don’t like is there is no natural light with the tv up, and the Murphy bed raised.
With the slide in I think you could still receive that sofa for sleeping if you had to.
Nice big bathroom.,
Very nice traveler for two old folks!! We like it!!
This is NOT MATT, this is a fake spammer! Reported
Love this Gulf Stream so much I would pay the price. Love the lay out.
My dislike is there is no bunk over the cap. The rest of the the RV is fantastic!!!!!
And that's exactly why I do like it. I don't want that big overhang! But as it is solo traveler, I don't need an additional bed.
I love K-dramas too Andrea!!
🥰
Love the 7.3 l V8 monster engine
Matt, you failed to pull out the support board for the fold out part at the foot of the queen mattress.
Matt, you said you were going up on the roof and then you said you got on the roof, but once again you barely climbed high enough on the USTEPS to even film the roof😂It’s impossible to perform mandatory roof maintenance if you can’t use the USTEPS ladder to get on the roof🙄
Matt, you be funny 🙂
interesting floorplan. don't really care for murphy beds. and yes, it's been ridiculously hot here in Texas 🥵
MATT, I think your description is incorrect. Description and pictures say 5420B, I actually think this is a 5240B. I think your numbers got switched around. I've been looking at the 5240 for a little while, and it's exactly what I want. I haven't been able to notice any different in this layout from the ones I've been looking at from a year or two ago. You definitely want to have those numbers in there correctly, so that your video will show up when people are researching! I especially love this color scheme. When I'm ready to buy I plan to talk to you about buying one exactly like this one. But I can't buy until I sell my condo. I'm planning to go full-time on the road with a unit similar to this. I know you said that this doesn't come with swivel seats, but is it possible to upgrade them? Swivel seats just makes such a huge difference when it comes to living space especially if you'd like to invite people in.
Also, on that mattress, the ones I've seen before, there's a pull out to secure to make it so it is solid. Not a huge fan of the folding mattresses, but in these small RVs it's hard to manage without it. You need that extra space for your slide.
Bought ours back in January, thinking its going to be a long wait for it to be delivered....As far as we know it has not even been built yet.....
Yup at least the passenger seat should rotate & recline. Stay cool on Texas. 👍🏼
They do… I ordered my unit with swivel seats. Plus, the bed setup was not correct. The end is supported.
Bathroom is perfect
I believe the bed stretches out even further to SUPPORT that foot of the bed/mattress. Can someone else confirm? Also, what's the CCC? Swapping out the toilet is worth ALL that bathroom space!
Yes, that is correct! Two missed steps: sofa moves forward for a better foundation and there is a panel that pulls out to support the hinged section. It is a comfortable bed. Also..we ordered with 2 swivel seats. Our weight capacity it tagged at 1999.5 (water tank full is labeled at 349 pounds).
