I love it with the extra lounge area and it's actually a bedroom. The extra space that opening those bathroom doors gives you is awesome. I want one like that.
I want this RV. The transit chassis (drive like a van), 2 lounge areas, cool, glossy/ euro cabinets. I love that the sofa converts to extra sleeping space. I would love to be able to take a friend with or my son (age 20) on RV trips. Most of those on the transit chassis don't have extra sleeping space. It's also great for a single parent.
I agree this is nice, but would love to know the CCC. That sofa that converts to a bed, I hope your son is under 5 ft tall. Hard for a grown person to sleep on that. The murphy bed is nice, but if you had to boondock in a Walmart where are you going to sleep? You can't use your slides. I wish they could just come up with one where you could actually sleep if that happens.
Thor makes stand-out gorgeous coaches, this one's another beauty! Also like the bathroom door set-up, it really does greatly expand the entire rear slide area. I wouldn't drive this RV on rough wooded campsite roads (unless there are kids to annoy ;) but would definitely take it on vacation sightseeing trips. 👍
I saw that on your web page a day or so ago and couldn't wait for your walk around video. This is an awesome little bugger. I like the colors and the convenience and all around feel. Big when it needs to be and small when you're driving. Bet it'd easily pass the Crackerbarrel test to because you go hang your "butt honker" over the parking. Smart rig.
This footage ALMOST didn't even get published. Some folks started a purchase on it while I was recording. I went ahead and finished up since I was half done. The next day they decided to change to a towable RV. Glad I didn't quite ½ way thru!
Great execution.... especially for a small motorhome. And the fit and finish looks much better than average. Great idea on the rear lounge.....I think maybe it could have been done a little better.....can see those bed supports causing some problems by accident 😆. Waiting for someone to do something like this but with a drop down bed similar to what's in the back of a toy hauler.
Was all excited that Thor had a new floorplan in the Transit based Compass/Gemini...then saw "used." Great condition, but still prefer new, with the TW the #1 floorplan. Can definitely see the heritage of the TR to the current day TW, same bed/bench module flipped from north/south to east/west with full wall slide now including the dining. Also, dry bath module improved with the move gaining larger shower and toilet angled for more knee room. Historically still has the same 3 immediate DIY projects to improve, as Thor kept the shortcomings. 1) Ditch the hanging shower curtain and install a retractable which is easier with the square shower in the TW, 2) remove the rigid, protruding, head knocking bed footers and install a foldable straight leg (like on early, non-motorized murphy beds), and 3) since Thor won't put a true murphy bed in the TW, keeping "industry exclusive" bench...convert to a sofa reducing seat depth with removable foam bolsters, and ne foam for seat if too hard. This is my #1 choice of floorplan in a tTransit chassis and no other manufacturer makes it with the possible exception of LTV Wonder RL, but not willing to wait 2 years. Three months for a new Compass/Gemini build is fine!
I want it, Josh please deliver to my home, lol you might get in some trouble for that one! Truly if I'm ever able financially to get one of these I want one just like this!👍👍👍👍👍 some very cool ingenious features on this one, On murphy beds I don't mind them in the RV I'd purchase just not part of the main living space!😊😁👍👍👍👍👍
I"ve been looking hard at toy haulers, because I love to ride motorcycles, and have always viewed a toy hauler travel trailer as a base camp from which to explore North America...but something like this that can HAUL MY TOYS, and still use as a base camp isn't something I'd considered. I wanted an RV that would grow with my (soon to be family), once my fiancé comes home from deployment, we plan to buy something that we can tour around in on long weekends and vacay's. This would do that well.
My dream is to full time in a Class B. I do believe I could do it in this, Josh! One can dream. Someone better hurry up and buy this, you will probably never see another like this, folks! And the horn works!!! 👀😂🏳️🌈
Love the floorplan, however, imagine this same layout, but with a happyjack dropdown bed in the rear bedroom, and when its up, have a couch there. And then once you want the bed down, you just gotta fold the couch down like a jacknife sofa so its flat!
Just got off the phone with Bill. He took the time to answer my dumb questions. Your company is the GOAT of the RV industry. If there is any way to buy from you I will.
I would say "there's no such things as dumb questions" but at least once a week I have to ask my wife "honey where do we keep the pot holders?" so yeah.. LOL :)
Perfect for me as a older woman what's the best cash price and cn I hv solar or is there no prep like for any type wht type roof is it made of cn u plz reply I'm very interested n ty
A few people have said something similar. I appreciate it The graphic was actually a gift to me from a friend & is technically just a work in progress but perhaps it "means" more to me since it was gifted Basically a friend had a cartoonist work it up (and still finishing), digitizing, and giving me all rights. I thought that was pretty cool
I wouldn't fault him for it. I was being a jerk at that point in our relationship. He loved me thru it and I now I run a video channel for his business ;) :)
@@HaylettTrailers I would have done it to m kids because I would have thought it was funny, of course I was the kid who wanted to be in the back seat of the bus going over frost heaves.
Our folks at this store could get a pic if the sticker for you real quick I am actually trying to remember to flash that stuff when I can but sometimes those things are just tucked away where it's like they don't want anybody to see them
How can you complement that rear couch with a straight face? You're leaning up against an unfinished bed bottom with two metal rails sticking out of it and you're sitting on what appears to be a pretty crappy looking cushion. Take a look at what Winnebago does with the Murphy beds. I mean what are these engineers at Thor doing? What would it cost to clean that mess up a little bit. Disgraceful
CURIOUS fact about these Euro vans. All of them, the MB, Transit & Promaster as motorhomes if you look on back you will find a tow bar stamped 5000 lb. HOWEVER, if you read the owners manual in the glovebox you'll find these vans actually have a MAX TOW CAPACITY of 3500. So, don't gauge your tow capacity with that tow bar. Actually after they mount a heavy coach onto these vans that eco engine is pretty tapped out. I wouldn't seriously think about pulling more than 1,000lbs you'll really be feeling it on hills. ! !

Love your story of that special moment with your dad. Keep em coming!
I’m betting his step dad increased speed and hit a few bumps on purpose. 🤣
I liked your “sleep well?” story.
hahaha yeah.. I've grown a bit since then :)

A+ for not being a wet bath for a small RV.
I feel your pain my husband watches all sports and game shows lol
Love our Gemini and RV life. ❤
Gemini's are the best!!
I like what I see here
They nearly carried the sister to these down the street at Haylett RV when they were new but something fell thru last minute

Their motorized division really is on point
Great floor plan and awesome price. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
Thanks for watching!
That is a very decent camper
This is the perfect one, not to wide!
I LOL'd at the story of trying to sleep in the back bed going down the road, getting battered and bruised and trying to prove the step-dad wrong! 😅😅😅
Like I said
Angry, younger, and dumber

I have the 2018 version and it's awesome. Far better than the side slide & AWD versions.
Even noticed there was a litte bit of storage over the front cab.

Yes!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
THAT... would be *really* cool
Poor copy of ltv rear lounge
Normally we wouldn’t want one that small, but that could be an exception
That bonus rear lounge makes the difference

Three months isn’t bad normally - especially considering current production challenges!!
Nice motorhome if it had the fuel efficient 3.2 Ford diesel with adaptive cruise control I would buy it today
love it

Very nice 👍

Thanks. I used dog trimmers lol :)

HAHAHAHAH man..
Your comments
are the BEST comments
@@HaylettTrailers thanks, but I hope she’s ok.
Edit: 02:22 OMG he knocked her out and ran away.
Someone please get Josh some caffeine 😁😃😊
It’s a great hotel room on wheels
I like that description
@@HaylettTrailers you’re welcome
@@HaylettTrailers now find the perfect family of 5 half ton towable
This is exactly what I want 😩 Thor apparently doesn't make that layout anymore.
Wow.. usually you see something similar to it updated in the lineup
but yeah.. she's just... gone!
Butthorn? Is that a new Nerdism? I like this RV. It not a huge oversized unit and it has a great layout.
Yep! It's Number 37!

Man Cave in the back.
Was this a review or comedy show? I may have missed the rear bed shown in the down position.
I wish this RV came in gas rather than diesel. If it were gas, this would be mine!

Apologies. Sold as indicated in the title
You know he probably hit as many bumps as possible…. I think it has a better payload capacity than a Mercedes as well.
Anything has a better CCC than a Mercedes.

What is with all RV manufacturers and the colors brown/beige. It makes the rv look soooo outdated 😏
Most of what we are showing on this channel are used rvs so they’re all outdated to an extent I guess
Loved your review, wish you had a price in the video as well.
Dude.
Butt horn.
Ha ha.
