Hi Mike and Susan! Sorry it took so long to watch this video just been so busy with getting ready for Christmas. I just got done watching. My Joyce’s of RVs is the Thor and the Rambler. I like the storage in holiday Rambler. And the outdoor kitchen. The step up in the showers wouldn’t bother me because I step up in my shower. Thank you for showing these. I hope you both had very nice Christmas with you family. Now we get ready for the new year! lol! 😊
No worries! We totally understand the crazy busyness of the holidays. It took us a few days just to get to our comments to respond! 🤦🏼♀️🤣. Glad you liked the Thor and the HR. We had a great Christmas! Loved spending the time with the kids and grandkids 💛💚 Hope yours was awesome too! And we are excited for 2025! We leave home on NY Eve for the west. 🎉 Have a safe and happy weekend! Thank you!!!
My Christmas was great and got what I wanted. Thank you for forgiving me. Holidays are always busy. Buying gifts and then wrapping them. My gifts I bought on line and some came on time some came late. My families was on time but my friends were late by being here the day after Christmas so they’ll be getting their this weekend after their family leaves. Glad you had fun with family. It’s always fun with family and spending time together. I always love Thor. Thank you Mike and Susan. Have a great day!
As usual the last rig you show is the one that interests me the most. I like the den that converts into a bedroom and as for the window I like it because without any windows it would be like sleeping in a cave.
These are all nice , but I would never need anything this size . Im sure that there are others who would tho . Mike you and Susan ndo a wonderful job on these videos. Have a blessed Christmas.
Sacred Bovine Thank You! Your measuring the width and length of the shower is awesome. And really helps with my visualization. Thanks again! Obviously, I greatly appreciate and enjoy your interior reviews.
I love the space of the third one and the windows of the second one. Thanks for your thorough reviews. Someday, I hope to be able to travel in one of these!❤
Thank you so much for that information. That seems important to know when buying an RV. And thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
We liked the Thor Four Winds 28A too! The MSRP on many RVs are still a little high but dealerships are negotiating - lots are full! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support! 💚💛
We love our fireplace. Besides the ambiance, it heats the entire space quickly using shore power, which is included in the cost of the site, rather than having to use our propane. One improvement we'd suggest is allowing the temperature to be set lower for more comfortable sleeping. We end up too warm even at the lowest setting and have to turn the fireplace off and back on throughout the night.
We completely agree! Love that we can save our propane! Great tips about the overnights. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
For the price, I really enjoy the Altitude/Incline. I was in this same model at Hershey, and the sofa was better than most. It felt open and light with the slide out. As always, thanks for the measurements! Lots of highlights on this model. My one wish is for Fleetwood to offer a paint option with the same design as the stickers (no crazy swirls, please). Hey Mike - Go NE Pats, ND Irish and anyone who plays the Ravens : )
Ouch! I almost had to remove your comment and ban you from our channel! lol! GO RAVENS!!!!! lol! I'm ok with the Irish but the Pats? NEVER! Hope you have a great Holiday Season! Mike
On the first one… that bed is scary, and those 4 shelves without doors are also scary. If you hit the brakes whatever is in those 4 shelves is going to fly. #3 for the win! Largest shower, and seems functional in all other areas. 👍🏽👍🏼
I think the Murphy bed window is maybe for when u don't use the sofa and just leave the bed out all day, for me it would be pointless to have a window only at bedtime, but that was the only thing I could think of... on another note, I truly enjoy ur videos ❤ thank u soooo much fellow Marylanders 🌻
The 1st RV did not have a good extra adult sleeping option other than climbing a ladder. I’m only 50 and my feet would cramp climbing up and down at night. The 2nd RV master bedroom/lounge was a great idea UNTIL the bed is not appropriate for sleeping with the short sleeping surface. The 3rd RV was grandparent friendly with the best sleeping option in the dinette. Did the last RV had seatbelts in the dinette but could not see the. Also, Why would we want our guests to walk past the bed to use restroom? You both do a great job reviewing these units. Thanks! Peace
RE: fireplace in the RV. I think most people assume it's gas or wood, not electric (not really a fireplace) space heater. If placed in the right spot, they're GREAT! You can keep your RV comfortably warm in cold climates without using your propane. My only issue with that one is, it is awfully close to the bed. I would be worried about it.
@@RVBlogger Oh, I am sorry for not being specific. It's the East to West Estrada $148,384. That strange door with the hole in it and a handle - it makes me think of a cutting board so I was wondering if the door slides up and off to be able to use it? Maybe the company can explain what it's use is for.
I agree about the window behind the murphy bed it does not make sense to me either. I think the cabinets are odd as well you can't reach them standing on the floor you have to crawl on the bed ?? That's just me. Like those corner beds with cabinets all around the bed same thing you crawl on the bed.
Our 2008 Class C RV has the corner bed with cabinets all around the perimeter. Lots of storage space but you do have to climb on the bed to access it. It works fine for me an Susan but if you aren't in good shape I can see how this would present a problem. Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays! Mike
That first one just has a weird design. Especially with that baby jackknife couch. It seems like they just threw any function to it. I’d pick the 2nd one the best. It’s cheaper in price, sleeps the most people and there’s no slide out.
Hey guys ! Entrada(first one) manufacturers-The cab in your model is nice ! It end there. What a nightmare top to tail ! Who was your intended buyer ? Every "feature" was ruined, how does this get to production ? I'm not even trolling, if 12 are sold, that's a win ! Can't even list what needs to change, it's too much ! Cab back, delete the entire thing, hire capable designers. We can see the intentions were carried out well enough, the design is a nightmare. Every space was done entirely wrong for what I assume is your demographic. Anyways Fantastic drop guys ! Another great week of work, just showing off at this point... Mike-We see that fresh line up going there up top bud. Looking dapper, my friend, gotta keep the optics up being the "on air" talent huh ? The makeup & wardrobe costs just skyrocket when that fame hits ! 😂 Take care you two. Always here watching, till this pesky cancer runs me outta town. The entertainment is appreciated, as always 🎩
We try our best to find good RVs to review and we skip quite a few that we think no one will like but every now and then we throw in one that just doesn't cut it and our audience points it out every time which is great. Makeup and wardrobe! lol! It's called a t-shirt and hopefully I remember to brush my hair! lol! Susan keeps me straight though. Hang in there and I hope you have a fantastic Holiday Season! Mike and Susan
@RVBlogger We DO notice when you toss those not making the cut into the show. Personally, I think it's fantastic as it assists some people in equal but opposite ways as showing only really great layouts ! Also, as you point out, Mike, the manufacturer may be reading comments and change a failing unit for the better ! 🤣Remembering to brush your hair🤣 I appreciate Susan keeping up her talent for the better ! As always, I MUST throw some pokes in for fun when we chat... I get it, I'd sport a @RVBLOGGER tee also just to promo you fine folks. Just not red, can't pull it off ! Might earn you some business tho as all the winners from my cancer center seem to throw caution to the wind and get out and live their renewed lives ! 🤔 Thank you for your kind words as always Mike and Susan ! I'm already looking forwards to the next drop on the edge of my seat ! Hope you both had a fantastic holiday season this year ! I made my goal of getting to 2025, looks better on a card than 2024 🤣 Also made it to the ripe old age of 46, but can't even out that number sadly (Doh) 🫣 Thanks for taking the time between "trip planning" at the dinette to shout out my comment ! See you both this weekend, I hope ! Cheers Pete
The RV industry CAN lower the STEP-UP to 4 inches or less they just have to change there thinking in making shower's 🚿 the P Trap can be lowered even to the point of No STEP-UP at all but a inch or two would be Nice
That first one looks like they just had a board on the wall with all options available, had someone blindfolded throw darts at it, and use what the darts hit as the features of it. Not the most functional design and at $150k, I would vote a hard no, on it.
Thanks Susan and Mike, great video. Personally I would never buy a Thor product new, maybe 5 years old with an inspection. The first one seems to have been designed by a high school student, the second one, well it's a new Thor. The REV Group Holiday Rambler looks good but I really don't like the full side slide as it would be a bit of a problem getting to the WC or using the bed with the slide in. Thanks again, stay safe and have a great holiday season.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Merry Christmas!
Great information! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience on these Rigs! Safe travels!
Thanks so much!!!
Safe Travels and Happy Holidays!
Mike

Thanks so much! We try our best and we are so glad you enjoy our videos!

Dog bed! That is what that tiny seat would be for me
That's the most popular opinion. (Can you tell we no longer have a dog 🥲🤪) Thanks BarTGila, we appreciate your support!
I love the space of the third one and the windows of the second one. Thanks for your thorough reviews. Someday, I hope to be able to travel in one of these!❤
Hope you can enjoy RV life one day too!
Happy Holidays!
Mike
It might depend on the brand of CPAP machine, but the one I use (which is one of the most popular brands) is supposed to be lower than my head.
Thank you so much for that information. That seems important to know when buying an RV. And thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Great reviews! Thanks 😊
Thanks so much!
Happy Holidays!
Mike
Have a great week and weekend!
Ditto! 😉 We are in recovery mode from the holidays 🤣
A high step up into the shower might be a bit inconvenient, but if you have to access the plumbing under the shower it is a blessing.
A blessing and a curse, but you're right. 👍🏼
A nice place for your pet to rest while going down the road and during the day.
That seems to be the popular opinion. Thank you! And thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I like #2 for the layout and bed. But all are too expensive for my budget. Thank you for video and sharing. Blessings to you.
We liked the Thor Four Winds 28A too! The MSRP on many RVs are still a little high but dealerships are negotiating - lots are full! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support! 💚💛

Just use cargo netting for the shelves , that way nothing will fly off of them .
I hear ya - those shelves can be a problem! I agree the third one was the best in the video.
Hope you have a Happy New Year!

All great questions about these units. We have yet to find the perfect floor plan because it doesn't exist! lol
Thanks for watching!

You can keep your RV comfortably warm in cold climates without using your propane. My only issue with that one is, it is awfully close to the bed. I would be worried about it.
They are electric and they don't get hot enough to burn anything so no matter where they are placed you would be very safe.
Happy Holidays!
Mike
That odd cabinet door to the right of the microwave looks like a cutting board. Does that door slide off so it can be used?
Great question. Which motorhome was it? I can research it more. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!

I hear ya - that jackknife couch isn't exactly spacious.
I would let my dog sleep on that folddown sofa or put the cat bed there.
Great idea!
Thanks for watching!

🫣
Thanks for taking the time between "trip planning" at the dinette to shout out my comment !
See you both this weekend, I hope !
Cheers

Why do they put the dinnett looking at another vehicle vs your camp spot? I have been seeing that a lot. Just curious.
There are tons of floor plans with dinettes on both sides. They just try to make the floor plan work the best they can.
Thans for watching!
Mike
I think having the emergency exit behind the Murphy bed is a bad idea. You should be able to access that window any time of the day or night.
Completely agree! Should never be blocked! Thanks Janice!
The tiny fold out bed/bench- maybe for pets? 😅
Anything is possible! 🤣 Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I am stuck on the second and last rv..
Jayco and Forest River did a great job with those floor plans. Tough competition. Thanks Amy!
The RV industry CAN lower the STEP-UP to 4 inches or less they just have to change there thinking in making shower's 🚿 the P Trap can be lowered even to the point of No STEP-UP at all but a inch or two would be Nice
For sure...there is even a trap that is much better for these situations that is not a P-trap. But it probably costs more...
Thanks for watching!

$148K and a terrible wannabe bed for a "master"? Yeah, that's a no from me dawg.
I agree they cut the wrong corner their SMH they could have cut out that cabinet on the right that would add a lot more room in my opinion
You can't beat those high-end European mattresses for the price though! 😂lol
Dawg? Culture vulture…
Pet Bed. (?)
It's wherever you place it I guess...? Not exactly sure what you are asking...
Thanks for watching!
Mike
