Bob & Hillary, Thank you so much for taking the time to video review our newest pride and joy, "Critter the Campground Kryptonite". A perfect scrappy cross between a racoon, armadillo and oposum. He can get out further and stay longer than your lesser equipted critters. This is our 6th RV in about 10 years. Two Class A's, one Class C, one Class B, and a towable before this. For us, we finally hit the sweet spot, considering our specific needs. This video of yours was so much fun for us to watch. I'm sure most people don't know you spent almost 3 hours shotting and something like 30+ hours editing just one video like this. My videos take the exact amount of minutes to shoot as you see in the finished product, and I have never spent even 1 minute editing. Partly because I don't know how, and partly because you just took away any incentive I might have had to learn. I'm going to go back and watch this again now. Thank you, and we hope to see you again soon. Rick & Sherri.
Awww thanks again Rick and Sherri! You both were the best! We had fun getting to know you! Thanks for sharing your journey. You guys are the real pros when it comes to RVs! Your videos are good too! And I just learned that little storage under the dinette was built by Sherri 🤯 So awesome! Thanks again for sharing Critter with us!
It is kind of nice but it could be better. For example I would love for bathroom and toilet join together and then the walkway in left or right side so they dont eat too much space and ofc became much bigger for bathroom👍
Great RV. In a rig this small and nimble there are always sacrifices. Only questions are there any issues with exhausting steam from the shower since the fan is in the water closet or does the fan in the dining area take care of that? Also do you use the over dinette storage for wardrobe or are you keeping your clothes somewhere else like below the bed or in the bathroom?
Great tour! We bought this same RV in August 2022 (2023 model). Over 20k miles of travel in all seasons. Absolutely our favorite RV we have owned. No regrets. The extra room in the B+ is well worth and is not that much larger than the B’s. We cruise with our 100lb lab as well. Garage works perfect for dog house. Thanks for sharing.
I really love how they have things so organized and not cluttered. It looks so much better and feels so much larger. This is how I have set up our Freedom Express trailer. No junk all over the place! Great Job folks, and SUPER cute rig!!!!
First thing I noticed was the bull artwork. My wife did a very similar style but with an elephant. I had never seen anyone else with a similar style piece of art. 👍. My wife and I watch quite a few different reviews and this as a lifestyle. It was always our plan for RV Life until health issues took us down a different road unfortunately and finances had to go elsewhere. We can still live vicariously through everyone else’s stories. We love them all.
Very sorry to hear of the unexpected change of plans. The art was actually purchased on Amazon a couple of months ago. I wanted a fighting bull to represent the bull market. This is basically our retirement plan. Should we hit a major bear market our plans may change as well.
I'm not a huge factory-made RV guy, but this Cross Trail is very tempting and this is the best video showcasing it. Not too big, lots of features, great floorplan, a chassis I trust and that can be serviced in any town, and capable of off-grid for a decent amount of time. The owners have also kitted it out perfectly. Like the added solar, the additional TV, and the way they set up the garage.
Great rig and I love everything about it with one exception.....the configuration of the bed. Having to crawl over each other to get up in the middle of the night to use the rest room is a deal breaker for us. Now if they can come up with a twin bed version of this, I'd be seriously thinking about it. Great video, great tour of a great RV. See ya next week!
I cannot lie, the climbing over to get out at night is tricky. This coach does come in three different models. This one, a twin bunkbed and a sort of murfy bed which is the 21xg.
I purchased a 2021 Coachmen Cross Trek from MHS sight unseen. I knew what I wanted, None to be found in New Mexico (my home state) or anywhere else for that matter. Love it. One of the best decisions I have ever made.
The crosstrek and crosstrail have been out for a while and was my first choice. It was parking space on the side of my home was the deciding factor as space was limited. We ended up getting a 23 winnebago travato 59k instead that fits perfectly. We really do love the b+ models though
Hi Bob and Hillary 🤗 I really like the two separate areas for the bathroon..and shower that would be nice.. to have ! 👍 I also like the windows one in the kitchen, one in the dinning area ..nice ! 👍 thanks for sharing .. super nice van! 🤗 😊😁
Thanks, Bob & Hillary! As always, another labor of B van love. So appreciate the work you both do to share your passion for vanlife with us. This was an amazing tour and a great van, actually let's just say it like Bob, AWESOME. So much value and design packed into this vehicle and 100% boondockable! ❤😊🙏👍🏼
@@CraigPeer This is probably the first i've seen that you could call a B+ since it is on the Ford Transit T350 which is a dual rear wheel van and not a Cab/Chassis F-53 setup.
I've been waiting for the Vancaskeys to review your Critter RV. You've done some great modifications, and the organization is amazing. We saw the 2024 21XG model at our local RV show in Salem, Oregon last weekend. It was very nice but did not have the storage like yours. From watching your video's, I had to see one! Enjoy your adventures.
I keep coming back to your video. After revisiting I realized the dinette is really a plus in this unit. I have started a savings account specifically for the Cross Trail 20GX Xtream. It is the one for me and my Schnauzer. Thank you for the tour.
The coach building industry has trained us to belive that 136 thousand dollars is a bargain. That's the real genius here. I have two buddies who own class B+ size and both of them have constant and major leaking issues and thinks like a fridges not working cheap boarding used. If you don't want it to leak stick to class b vans.
Very nice RV. Love the shower/ toilet separation. The bed would be a deal breaker for me. From experience, I know they’re nearly impossible to “make” without throwing your back out.
Bob was a little right and a little wrong on the bull/brush guard. It is aftermarket where Ford is concerned but installed by Coachmen. One of the many things they got very right on this rig. The LED light bar is amazing when on. Much brighter than you would think for the size.
Wow…that is exceptional. I can’t believe they get that all in such a tiny space. Exterior griddle!! OMG that might be the best small tv I have ever seen
We use the griddle sometimes twice a day. It's fast to set up/break down, easy to clean, efficient on fuel and keeps the heat and smell (fishy) out of your interior.
I have to say that is the nicest small rig I have seen. The interior is so clean and finished. I wonder what the gas mileage is? I wish it had a north south bed.
Makes me want to drive to Texas to trade in my Thor Tellaro '23 20 L! I'm so tired of the build issues, I should name mine Ms. Lemon! And your organization is stellar, just like I try to do with mine, but I don't have the space.
Thanks guys. Love your honest channel! I have been thinking about a Class B van, but I always come back to looking at these small class C's, aka, B+. I like the idea of the vans and their size, but I just can't get over their prices and the small space! I'm afraid I would have huge buyers remorse with a B van.
Thanks! All your points are valid. We love our B Van but the B+ (small Cs) really have been calling our name lately. It would depend on if you’re looking to live full time or just travel part time. And the prices are getting pretty outrageous for the Class Bs. Ugh. So hard to know what the right decision is.
This model was high on our list for going with a class B+, especially with the 2024 upgrades including the 12-volt fridgerator (LOL), induction cook top and convection microwave as well as the renogy battery system. The major issues for us were the east/west configuration of the bed and that it is not a true 4-season rv. We wound up going with the Winnebago Ekko, and of course, we paid a bunch more, but we prefered the twin bed set-up, smaller size, the thicker side walls w/ fiberglass roof, and the 4-season capability. So it all comes down to what y'all want and willing to trade-off. But real issue here is - WHEN IS MR. LEMON GOING TO GO!!
:) WOW! THANKS MUCH for sharng and OMG at 136k out the door? Mr Lemon might be puckering :) NICE Rig indeed! ALL the BEST and ENJOY! Cheers from upper left Coast ! :)
When it comes to Innovation, the elevated motorized bed makes so much sense. Previously the Cross Trail seemed confused, neglected and cheap. But this 2024 looks impressive!
I enjoyed the review even though this isn’t the type of van I’d want. I do agree with them about boondocking. It’s the best way to camp far away from other people unlike commercial campsites where you’re packed in like sardines.
Not to mention reservations, check out times, barking dogs, campfire smoke, loud music, loud neighbors, upsidedown pineapples and the ever increasing cost. The ability to stop when you feel like it and leave when you feel like it is worth the loss of unlimited power and water.
An 80” bed! Now that’s tall guy approved 👍 The downside, someone is trapped at the back, and neither one of us makes it a whole night without getting up.
Amazing what the extra length of a 24' allows. Very nice job in the galley, a proper fridge and freezer. And in today's market, even if it is a Ford, that price doesn't seem totally insane.
@Vancaskeys I keep coming back to this video because a health issue is making me think about B+ or c, even though I am totally in love with my little ‘22 Geo Pro 19fbs. The question I have is about the refrigerator. I love my 12v fridge and you didn’t mention if the fridge in this unit is 12v. I am not a fan of dinettes but it looks Ike it would be the only way to watch some TV comfortably at night or in bad weather.
Recently found you two. I love your reviews. We purchased our first camper, Coachman Freedom Express back in 2018. We love it though it's time to upgrade to a drivable that will tow our boat. I really like this one. Not so sure about the shower. Would be a bonus to have a bed over the cab and a small slide in the dinnette area. Other than that, I really love this RV. She did an amazing job with the organization. What a pro! Love how the bed can move up and down to allow access to the underbed storage. Great video. I would definately consider another Coachman. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy camping.
Thanks for the complement. Renovations (MODs) continue! I have recently replaced the kitchen sink with a deep beautiful one as well as installed a new MaxAir fan in the bedroom and resurfaced the shower. If we get back over to Arizona we will have to ask the pros to shoot another video.
Nice vid. Could not agree more on the micro/convec - bought a Blaze Pizza while traveling thru Gainesville and properly heated it up for the next 2 nights. I have the 1st gen of this appl in my '23 Galleria. Useful. Thanks.
OMG, this one checks MANY boxes. You went through in great detail all the options. Can you share what was factory / dealer installed upgrades then what did they done after market? Thank you guys for all you do in sharing all the details.
We did a video on our channel just going over all the MODs we did after buying this RV. In the next week we will also be upgrading the sink and the shower surround. I am sure there will be more MOD's to follow. Hope Coachmen is watching.
You didn't mention the ac system. It looked like it was situated more towards the front? No ducts in the rear? No wonder they installed a fan in br area. I like Coachmen products. Nova 20D is my favorite. I have the name of a salesman at MHRVS in TX when you're ready to trade Mr. Lemon.😊 As always, good video.
We are looking forward to warmer weather so we can really run the the AC. It is situated just a little forward of center but you can direct the airflow with 4 vents. The ceiling fans should keep the air cerculating as well. A big selling factor for us was the ability to run the AC off the house batteries. It will be interesting to see what kind of draw it has compaired to the stovetop or microwave for example.
Awesome video, thank you. Had not watched you guys for a while, looking as good as ever. And special thanks to the family that shared it. If it was a bit shorter, might have considered!
There is only one thing that would push this rig over the top. If it were built on the new Transit Trail Ford up-fitted chassis with 3.5 lift, wider stance and a whole lot more goodies. I'd sell my 4X4 Cambreia tomorrow and drop whatever they were asking for it. Thanks for sharing...
I have a transit, unibody construction is not nearly as durable as the Ford E350 chassis. I do love my camper, but if I was building a class C I wouldn’t use the transit chassis.
@@daveahlers I have a E450 Camberia that I had a 4x4 conversion and lift. Like it also but I wish it was about 8 feet shorter. It seems manufactures are missing the boat with E series SHORT campers with AWD and 4WD.
Can't beat the price for sure. Personally, I prefer the a class B built within a van body for long term use, but this does have some nice features. Also, I question whether the curtains separating the cab insulate as well as the insulated interior window covers that are typical. We are about to go ski camping in our van at 7200' and temps as low as 9F, so we will find out how well insulated ours is real soon!
Great observation. We actually carry 3 blackout systems. The first came with the RV and is a large one piece cover that wraps around the outside and covers all cab windows. This is great if you are expecting snow. Take it off and you are left with a clean windshield and side windows. The second is custom fitted and insulated single window covers that go on the inside. This is good for cold weather as it also provides insulation. The third is what we use most of the time in mild weather. The blackout curtain that takes about 2 seconds to close or open.
Beautiful rig…..my plan is to be glamping at campgrounds so this would be overkill for me. But I love the smaller size and how the layout maximizes the space.
Racing Shocks?!? That is funny in a class B+. Love this RV on the Ford Transit chassis...very well done. The only issue I have with it compared to your class B is the storage issue. You are able to park your Thor in your driveway and this type of RV eliminates that possibility, you have to pay for storage unless you have an alternate place that does not involve the typical HOA Association, Jus' sayn'
There are European companies like Giotti selling B+ campers similar to these for about half the price. On the same Ford chassis as well. I believe the only creature comforts they are missing is a roof A/C and maybe an on board generator. Both can be remedied for under 10k
I've been watching this one- a clear EKKO clone. The raised bed/garage is fantastic- and the windows in there! The dinette is nicely spacious too. I LOVE induction cooktop. I like it better than EKKO except.... ... it's a 3 season coach not meant for cold weather where EKKO is 4 season. Notice the batteries and water are external Best part is that it's not a Thor! At that price I might consider trading in my Thor Tellaro.
The 2024 Cross Trail Extreme is actually 4 Seasons rated and has heated tanks. The batteries are Renorgy 400 amp each cold rated. We have already been in the low teens with no issues. I have had, not one but two Thors. Yep, happy it's not a Thor!
Toilet Room? Maybe take one from yachting and call it a 'Day Head'? A day head is a toilet and a sink, on a yacht. A bathroom that is used away from the cabins, so it never or rather, seldom has a shower in it.
Hey guys love your reviews, this van rocks! We have a custom build 2022 144 Sprinter with a few revolutionary features. The bed slides backwards and upwards to make more space during the day. The W/C slides into an adjacent cabinet making more space for the shower. If you are interested, could give you some ideas if you ever decide to go self / custom build in the future 😂
Nice looking rig but here are a few reasons why it wouldn't work for me: 1) I do not like the outside storage/garage to be part of my inside living area, especially my bed. I can see wind bringing sand, rain and all kinds of stuff inside when I open the garage. 2) I prepare all my meals, and would have to split the few cabinets it has over the dinette between my clothes and food storage. 3) The sink is too small and shallow to be practical when you cook all your meals. 4) I boondock and like to bring plenty of food and so it would not work with having such a small freezer. 5) I wonder if the a/c would be sufficient to reach the bed area because I can't be hot when sleeping. So, if I had to chose a similar rig, the Ekko would be my choice, especially the new one on the MB chassis.
That's the great thing about people and RV's. The come in all kinds of shape and sizes. One size never fits all quite right. Regarding the outside (inside) storage. The nice thing with this set up is you don't have to go outside in bad weather to access your storage. We have never had the wind blow anything in "the garage". We also prepare all our meals and as great as I believe the video is, Bob & Hillary did miss the floor to ceiling pantry and didn't really show how big the wardrobe closet is in the bathroom. The sink is way too small! The good news is we found the perfect replacement at Lowes and will be installing it this week. What was Coachmen thinking? The freezer is also small and the option there would be to add a second unit in the garage space. I have seen that done in a couple of videos. We wonder the same thing about the AC but it hasn't warmed up enough to use it. The little ceiling fan we added is great and cost $16 on Amazon.
As we do not plan on having a TOAD I have not looked into those specs. With something so drivable, I don't know that pulling another vehicle would be a choice for many owners. If I had a boat, I would certainly want to pull that so I should consider those specs.
I'm the inside person and get out at night very few times, but when I do it is easy enough to crawl over my wife. I can see how that would be a deal breaker for many. Small RV's always have trade offs.
Bob I noticed your SOCOM shirt , are you a veteran of a SOF community? either way so cool! We did like this floor plan and the shower with seperate bathroom.
Great review, the lack of a fantastic fan, porcelain toilet, shallow kitchen sink and not flush mounted AC are certainly drawbacks to the unit. BUT, it’s a great class B+. I currently have a View class C and Travato class B and would sell both to replace it with that B+
You missed the pantry next to the bathroom and does the under-sink cabinet go through to behind the grill outside? Sort of a pass-through from inside to outside.
I like it. However plastic toilets fail easily. I am not very tall so none of that is an issue, I wish the toilet door opened the opposite direction and stayed open with a magnet for shower privacy in the bedroom. Change the outdoor locks for safety. Love the outdoor storage for ebikes. Love the battery power!
These are some great observations! The bathroom door opening the other way would creat some clearence challenges so we are considering instally a simple curtin. We are also considering an upgrade to the toilet. We did upgrade the locks to the storage doors and are looking at a new lock for the main door. FOB or combo is the question.
@ricktanner9817 wow! Thanks for responding. Interesting about the door. I get it though. I understand porcelain toilets add weight so I also understand that. The door lock info is great!
Nice van! Really love the power bank and the size of the water tanks. However, for a B+ size, it really feels small and a bit cramped inside. The kitchen is way too small. I’ve seen much larger kitchens in a regular class B. Everything else I can appreciate.
Did either of you try to sit completely upright (no leaning back / slouching forward / tilting head down) on the bed in the lowest position and your head did or did not touch the ceiling?
Okay you guys have to inhale every now and again. God Bob you actually got Hillary all worked up you rock. Nice to see you guys so excited. Really nice B+. That little more room does make a big difference. Do you think you could camp in the same locations as a regular B or would you have to go to camp sites? PS. Hillary. Bob needs some pointy toed cowboy boots in some really cool hide.
Next week we hope to have a new kitchen sink and shower surround. I will post a video, but please lower you viewing expectations. I cannot do content like the Vancaskeys do by a country mile.
You are 100% accurate on the fans. No offense but those are junk, they don’t move any air, I know from experience. Go max fan for sure. 👍🏼 Great review
We have replace 2 of the 3 fans (90 minutes and $200 each) with max air fans. Side by side the little ones are simply junk. They look bad, are loud and don't move much air.
Great video! You are really getting professional at these reviews. And Coachman is SO much better than Thor. It would make us all so happy if you got into something other than Thor! You deserve it. If they really paid 136k that js a deal.. how can that include 800w of solar and 800 AH of lithium? Wow.
So far we couldn't be happier with the build quality by Coachmen. As we are not new to the RV game, we expected issues along the way but so far, almost none. In 2022 we bought a new Thor Sequence. The day I picked it up from the dealer the plumbing leaked water all over the interior. That wasn't even the worst day. Getting help from either the dealer or Thor was like pulling healthy teeth. We did do a video on all the MOD's we preformed on Critter so far. On power, the only thing we did was add 2 more (200 watt) panels to the roof for a cost of $400. It came with everything else.
I didn't hear MPG in the specs. Our first RV was something similar to that. It was an 18 y.o used beast. It was called a Brougham, a transvan (rear door) 1980-ish Dodge chassis. I absolutely loved the interior. So spacious, great floorplan, really comfortable. Primitive by today's standards but I loved it. We didn't think to ask about the MPG. We drove it from SF to Death Valley on its maiden voyage, we monitored the gas consumption, and I was horrified to discover that it got 8 (EIGHT!) MPG! We did a few local trips, but we never took a long trip again! It did serve me well when Jerry was in the hospital 6 counties from home for a long time, and I lived in it in the hospital parking lot with the kitty cat. But that was it. The mileage absolutely horrified me! Everything is more fuel efficient now, but I'm betting that doesn't get any better than 12 or so? I love the look of it, I love the storage, I don't love the sideways bed for two people. Some people sleep soundly all through the night, but that's not us. Invariably one or the other of us is up for something - toilet, snack - in the middle of the night. But nicely appointed all the way around top, bottom inside out!
Loved the story about your rig and travels. I am currently averaging 15 MPG HWY. keep in mind the engine is new and that should improve as it breaks in. Also consider it is full time all-wheel drive, daulies on the back, 2" lifted suspention, all terrain tires and dual alternators (one feeds the house batteries while you drive). All of these features impact the MPG. I find the sewwt spot for MPG to be about 55 MPH and I wish it were a little higher. This rig was built with snow & ice as well as mud and rut in mind, but it also drives nice in the highway.
@@ricktanner9817 OK, well they have considerably improved! About 10 years ago I called a dealer about a similar layout in a more modern Born Free Built for Two and he said that the mileage wasn't much better than what we'd gotten in the Brougham. But your mileage isn't much less than the 17-18 mpg we got in our much smaller Travato (now we have a teeny 17' Solis Pocket. If we're very careful, we can get just a bit over 20. (I agree that 55 makes much more sense - I just wish I could convince my husband, Mr. Leadfoot!)
Thanks for another awesome video! We are waffling between B and B+... how much of difference is it really in parking at stores/ driving in city areas... have 3 small dogs and nervous about the 22 foot coachman beyond vs slightly larger one like this one!
We have owned both and traveled extensively in both. No issues with either regarding parking and driving comfort. I would say the Ford Transit is far more comfortable to drive than the Dodge Promaster for me. The Coachmen B+ is 24' long but I really don't find it any more challenging than the B Class we had before. The big difference is the interior space. I actually knew one owner who had 2 dogs and made the "garage" below the bed a high end kennel for his little traveling buddies.
You were right calling it a class C. It gets me every time someone refers to these as a B Plus. This goes back years. House built around a bare frame = Class A. House built inside the walls of a van = Class B. Hybrid, original cab (truck or van) with house built behind = Class C. At least that's the way it started years ago. Now, every dealer, manufacturer and user has their own name for it. IMHO I know, probably should just keep my mouth shut, 🤣
Well, it was not used unless you consider the delivery from Elkhart as using it. This RV actually arrived at the dealership the morning we arrived in the afternoon. It literally wasn't on the dealer lot for 8 hours before we took possession. We officially purchased it just as it was being completed by Coachmen a week or so prior to arriving. Per the window sticker the MSRP for this unit as is was $192,000. The dealer in Texas, MHSRV will typically discount 25% off the sticker for every unity they get in and they keep about 650 to 700 units on the lot at all times. I am sure there are many factors that will go into their decisions to provide further discounts but they did not share those with me. We felt we were getting a good price but now we are thinking it was a great price?
Bob & Hillary, Thank you so much for taking the time to video review our newest pride and joy, "Critter the Campground Kryptonite". A perfect scrappy cross between a racoon, armadillo and oposum. He can get out further and stay longer than your lesser equipted critters. This is our 6th RV in about 10 years. Two Class A's, one Class C, one Class B, and a towable before this. For us, we finally hit the sweet spot, considering our specific needs. This video of yours was so much fun for us to watch.

Partly because I don't know how, and partly because you just took away any incentive I might have had to learn. I'm going to go back and watch this again now. Thank you, and we hope to see you again soon. Rick & Sherri.
Awww thanks again Rick and Sherri! You both were the best! We had fun getting to know you! Thanks for sharing your journey. You guys are the real pros when it comes to RVs! Your videos are good too! And I just learned that little storage under the dinette was built by Sherri 🤯 So awesome! Thanks again for sharing Critter with us!
Sherri's an organization wizard!!
It is kind of nice but it could be better. For example I would love for bathroom and toilet join together and then the walkway in left or right side so they dont eat too much space and ofc became much bigger for bathroom👍
Very nice 👍👍

where did you buy yours?
@gosman949 we purchased ours from motorhome specialist in alverado texas
Is it truly 4 season insulated? Or are the bedroom windows icy in winter, etc?
I really love how they have things so organized and not cluttered. It looks so much better and feels so much larger. This is how I have set up our Freedom Express trailer. No junk all over the place! Great Job folks, and SUPER cute rig!!!!
Something that small HAS to be organized - and they NAILED it!
This is one of the best rvs I’ve seen. Attention to detail, organization, size, just amazing
Glad you like it!
First thing I noticed was the bull artwork. My wife did a very similar style but with an elephant. I had never seen anyone else with a similar style piece of art. 👍.

@@ricktanner9817 You don't have washing machine?
And it has a BIG Black tank!! No Cassette Toilet!! Yay !
👏👏👏
Great rig and I love everything about it with one exception.....the configuration of the bed. Having to crawl over each other to get up in the middle of the night to use the rest room is a deal breaker for us. Now if they can come up with a twin bed version of this, I'd be seriously thinking about it. Great video, great tour of a great RV. See ya next week!
I thought so too. But. Then the bathroom will be smaller or something. Always give up something
I cannot lie, the climbing over to get out at night is tricky. This coach does come in three different models. This one, a twin bunkbed and a sort of murfy bed which is the 21xg.
Agree. The bed situation would be tricky. Bob and talked about that after and that was really our only real concern. But not a deal breaker 😅
no twin bed solution without a slide....dimensions just don't work.
100% agree!
Bob is just awesome and you too Hillary. I hope this is your next RV. Keep your vids coming!!!😊
Thanks Anthony! 😃
I love the notion of being able to raise the bed all the way and have a little office or reading nook.
I purchased a 2021 Coachmen Cross Trek from MHS sight unseen. I knew what I wanted,
None to be found in New Mexico (my home state) or anywhere else for that matter. Love it. One of the best decisions I have ever made.
Woot! Woot!🎉
how has your service been in New Mexico since you didn't buy it there? Luckily I live near MHS!
The crosstrek and crosstrail have been out for a while and was my first choice. It was parking space on the side of my home was the deciding factor as space was limited. We ended up getting a 23 winnebago travato 59k instead that fits perfectly. We really do love the b+ models though
Hi Bob and Hillary 🤗
I really like the two separate areas for the bathroon..and shower that would be nice.. to have ! 👍
I also like the windows one in the kitchen, one in the dinning area ..nice ! 👍 thanks for sharing .. super nice van! 🤗 😊😁
Thanks Diane!❤️❤️❤️
Great tour
So funny every time Bob says fridgerater. 😂 He never pronounces the “re”. Love your tours! Thanks for all the content 🙌
Hahaha! It’s true!
Thanks, Bob & Hillary! As always, another labor of B van love. So appreciate the work you both do to share your passion for vanlife with us. This was an amazing tour and a great van, actually let's just say it like Bob, AWESOME. So much value and design packed into this vehicle and 100% boondockable! ❤😊🙏👍🏼
Thanks Joe!
Great find. That's the best Class B I've seen in years.
Class B+. Not really a class B.
correction - Coachman calls this a Class C motorhome.
@@CraigPeer This is probably the first i've seen that you could call a B+ since it is on the Ford Transit T350 which is a dual rear wheel van and not a Cab/Chassis F-53 setup.
I'd like it better with 2 beds in the back, but love the camper in general
I've been waiting for the Vancaskeys to review your Critter RV. You've done some great modifications, and the organization is amazing. We saw the 2024 21XG model at our local RV show in Salem, Oregon last weekend. It was very nice but did not have the storage like yours. From watching your video's, I had to see one! Enjoy your adventures.
I keep coming back to your video. After revisiting I realized the dinette is really a plus in this unit. I have started a savings account specifically for the Cross Trail 20GX Xtream. It is the one for me and my Schnauzer. Thank you for the tour.
The coach building industry has trained us to belive that 136 thousand dollars is a bargain. That's the real genius here. I have two buddies who own class B+ size and both of them have constant and major leaking issues and thinks like a fridges not working cheap boarding used. If you don't want it to leak stick to class b vans.
In Europe the "toilet room" is called the "Water Closet" or WC for short...
I like that!
I've heard water closet in America quite a few times in the past.
Very nice RV. Love the shower/ toilet separation. The bed would be a deal breaker for me. From experience, I know they’re nearly impossible to “make” without throwing your back out.
We agree...the bed is the only draw back.
Such a great review! You guys do killer RV videos.
Thanks! That means a lot a lot to us!
Good job Hillary & Bob, the brush gard is included in extreme model.😊
Thanks!
Bob was a little right and a little wrong on the bull/brush guard. It is aftermarket where Ford is concerned but installed by Coachmen. One of the many things they got very right on this rig. The LED light bar is amazing when on. Much brighter than you would think for the size.
Wow…that is exceptional. I can’t believe they get that all in such a tiny space. Exterior griddle!! OMG that might be the best small tv I have ever seen
We use the griddle sometimes twice a day. It's fast to set up/break down, easy to clean, efficient on fuel and keeps the heat and smell (fishy) out of your interior.
I have to say that is the nicest small rig I have seen. The interior is so clean and finished. I wonder what the gas mileage is? I wish it had a north south bed.
We are geting about 15 MPG in good conditions. There are 3 different models with all different bed configurations. Even one with bunkbeds.
Makes me want to drive to Texas to trade in my Thor Tellaro '23 20 L! I'm so tired of the build issues, I should name mine Ms. Lemon! And your organization is stellar, just like I try to do with mine, but I don't have the space.
Haha! We feel the same! Ms. Lemon 🍋 😅 they might need to meet!
Thanks guys. Love your honest channel! I have been thinking about a Class B van, but I always come back to looking at these small class C's, aka, B+. I like the idea of the vans and their size, but I just can't get over their prices and the small space! I'm afraid I would have huge buyers remorse with a B van.
Thanks! All your points are valid. We love our B Van but the B+ (small Cs) really have been calling our name lately. It would depend on if you’re looking to live full time or just travel part time. And the prices are getting pretty outrageous for the Class Bs. Ugh. So hard to know what the right decision is.
This model was high on our list for going with a class B+, especially with the 2024 upgrades including the 12-volt fridgerator (LOL), induction cook top and convection microwave as well as the renogy battery system. The major issues for us were the east/west configuration of the bed and that it is not a true 4-season rv. We wound up going with the Winnebago Ekko, and of course, we paid a bunch more, but we prefered the twin bed set-up, smaller size, the thicker side walls w/ fiberglass roof, and the 4-season capability. So it all comes down to what y'all want and willing to trade-off. But real issue here is - WHEN IS MR. LEMON GOING TO GO!!
Like it, cool ride for one or two!
:) WOW! THANKS MUCH for sharng and OMG at 136k out the door? Mr Lemon might be puckering :) NICE Rig indeed! ALL the BEST and ENJOY! Cheers from upper left Coast ! :)
Thanks 👍 Marty! We always love hearing from you!
Very nice small RV. Great job showing this.
Thanks for watching!
Not too big. Definitely manageable in would not want anything smaller. Looks very comfortable! Nice space and good price.😊
We have blackout drawn curtains in our promaster. I highly recommend it
Definitely want to do this too!
My dog would love that garage ❤
When it comes to Innovation, the elevated motorized bed makes so much sense. Previously the Cross Trail seemed confused, neglected and cheap. But this 2024 looks impressive!
I enjoyed the review even though this isn’t the type of van I’d want. I do agree with them about boondocking. It’s the best way to camp far away from other people unlike commercial campsites where you’re packed in like sardines.
Not to mention reservations, check out times, barking dogs, campfire smoke, loud music, loud neighbors, upsidedown pineapples and the ever increasing cost. The ability to stop when you feel like it and leave when you feel like it is worth the loss of unlimited power and water.
An 80” bed! Now that’s tall guy approved 👍 The downside, someone is trapped at the back, and neither one of us makes it a whole night without getting up.
Exceptional presentation and walk through Bob.
Thank you very much.
Really neat rv, thanks for the tour. AWESOME, Awesome, Awesome 👍😊
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s nice to have a little extra “prep space” with the dinette table.
Amazing what the extra length of a 24' allows. Very nice job in the galley, a proper fridge and freezer. And in today's market, even if it is a Ford, that price doesn't seem totally insane.
critter is awesome 😎. Thanks for sharing fantastic rv
Thank Barbara! 😃
Is it just me or does everyone else want to get up and dance with the music!
Hahaha! Love this!
@Vancaskeys I keep coming back to this video because a health issue is making me think about B+ or c, even though I am totally in love with my little ‘22 Geo Pro 19fbs. The question I have is about the refrigerator. I love my 12v fridge and you didn’t mention if the fridge in this unit is 12v. I am not a fan of dinettes but it looks Ike it would be the only way to watch some TV comfortably at night or in bad weather.
fridge is 12v.
Recently found you two. I love your reviews. We purchased our first camper, Coachman Freedom Express back in 2018. We love it though it's time to upgrade to a drivable that will tow our boat. I really like this one. Not so sure about the shower. Would be a bonus to have a bed over the cab and a small slide in the dinnette area. Other than that, I really love this RV. She did an amazing job with the organization. What a pro! Love how the bed can move up and down to allow access to the underbed storage. Great video. I would definately consider another Coachman. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy camping.
Thanks for the complement. Renovations (MODs) continue! I have recently replaced the kitchen sink with a deep beautiful one as well as installed a new MaxAir fan in the bedroom and resurfaced the shower. If we get back over to Arizona we will have to ask the pros to shoot another video.
Wow! Thanks, for the beautiful, informative video of this awesome B+
Thanks for watching!
Nice vid. Could not agree more on the micro/convec - bought a Blaze Pizza while traveling thru Gainesville and properly heated it up for the next 2 nights. I have the 1st gen of this appl in my '23 Galleria. Useful. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow I really love this RV, especially the outdoor grill and the price is amazing! 😊❤👌
It really is!
Thank you for this review -- this and the 21xg are on my short list for my solo adventures. A detailed review of the 2024 has been hard to find.
You are so welcome!
OMG, this one checks MANY boxes. You went through in great detail all the options. Can you share what was factory / dealer installed upgrades then what did they done after market? Thank you guys for all you do in sharing all the details.
We did a video on our channel just going over all the MODs we did after buying this RV. In the next week we will also be upgrading the sink and the shower surround. I am sure there will be more MOD's to follow. Hope Coachmen is watching.
You didn't mention the ac system. It looked like it was situated more towards the front? No ducts in the rear? No wonder they installed a fan in br area. I like Coachmen products. Nova 20D is my favorite. I have the name of a salesman at MHRVS in TX when you're ready to trade Mr. Lemon.😊 As always, good video.
We are looking forward to warmer weather so we can really run the the AC. It is situated just a little forward of center but you can direct the airflow with 4 vents. The ceiling fans should keep the air cerculating as well.
A big selling factor for us was the ability to run the AC off the house batteries. It will be interesting to see what kind of draw it has compaired to the stovetop or microwave for example.
You missed your true calling. Great review, and walkthrough.
Haha! Thank you!
Awesome video, thank you. Had not watched you guys for a while, looking as good as ever. And special thanks to the family that shared it. If it was a bit shorter, might have considered!
Thanks so much! ❤️
There is only one thing that would push this rig over the top. If it were built on the new Transit Trail Ford up-fitted chassis with 3.5 lift, wider stance and a whole lot more goodies.
I'd sell my 4X4 Cambreia tomorrow and drop whatever they were asking for it. Thanks for sharing...
I bet that is in the works for future models. Transit Trail is pretty impressive.
I have a transit, unibody construction is not nearly as durable as the Ford E350 chassis. I do love my camper, but if I was building a class C I wouldn’t use the transit chassis.
@@daveahlers I have a E450 Camberia that I had a 4x4 conversion and lift. Like it also but I wish it was about 8 feet shorter. It seems manufactures are missing the boat with E series SHORT campers with AWD and 4WD.
Very nice Rv and I love the picture Inside the bedroom cool😀
If you took the words off the screen, we could actually, see what we tuned in to watch.😊Other that it, is great & we love the motorhome.
Great job making that rv “homey” guys!looks great👍🏼
Thank you so much!!!!😊
Can't beat the price for sure. Personally, I prefer the a class B built within a van body for long term use, but this does have some nice features. Also, I question whether the curtains separating the cab insulate as well as the insulated interior window covers that are typical. We are about to go ski camping in our van at 7200' and temps as low as 9F, so we will find out how well insulated ours is real soon!
Great observation. We actually carry 3 blackout systems. The first came with the RV and is a large one piece cover that wraps around the outside and covers all cab windows. This is great if you are expecting snow. Take it off and you are left with a clean windshield and side windows. The second is custom fitted and insulated single window covers that go on the inside. This is good for cold weather as it also provides insulation. The third is what we use most of the time in mild weather. The blackout curtain that takes about 2 seconds to close or open.
That makes sense. We have the exterior window cover for our Sprinter too. I hate waiting to defrost windows!
Beautiful rig…..my plan is to be glamping at campgrounds so this would be overkill for me. But I love the smaller size and how the layout maximizes the space.
😃
Racing Shocks?!? That is funny in a class B+. Love this RV on the Ford Transit chassis...very well done. The only issue I have with it compared to your class B is the storage issue. You are able to park your Thor in your driveway and this type of RV eliminates that possibility, you have to pay for storage unless you have an alternate place that does not involve the typical HOA Association, Jus' sayn'
There are European companies like Giotti selling B+ campers similar to these for about half the price. On the same Ford chassis as well. I believe the only creature comforts they are missing is a roof A/C and maybe an on board generator. Both can be remedied for under 10k
The Cross Trail has definitely come a long way. That thing is pretty nice and has a lot of great features for the price!
I've been watching this one- a clear EKKO clone. The raised bed/garage is fantastic- and the windows in there! The dinette is nicely spacious too. I LOVE induction cooktop. I like it better than EKKO except....
... it's a 3 season coach not meant for cold weather where EKKO is 4 season. Notice the batteries and water are external
Best part is that it's not a Thor! At that price I might consider trading in my Thor Tellaro.
Sorta like EKKO - Revel mix.
Coachmen Cross Trek (first edition of Cross Trail) came out in 2020 and Ekko in 2021, so the Ekko is the clone.
The 2024 Cross Trail Extreme is actually 4 Seasons rated and has heated tanks. The batteries are Renorgy 400 amp each cold rated. We have already been in the low teens with no issues. I have had, not one but two Thors. Yep, happy it's not a Thor!
EKKO - Revel mix, I had not thought of that, but if fits and it says a lot about the Cross Trail considering those are two great brands.
Too use Bob's favorite word AWESOME 😎
Haha! Yes! 👏
It is awesome wow The best lay-out for sure. Thanks for showing us this one. Very nice
Thanks!
Toilet Room? Maybe take one from yachting and call it a 'Day Head'? A day head is a toilet and a sink, on a yacht. A bathroom that is used away from the cabins, so it never or rather, seldom has a shower in it.
Hey guys love your reviews, this van rocks!
We have a custom build 2022 144 Sprinter with a few revolutionary features. The bed slides backwards and upwards to make more space during the day. The W/C slides into an adjacent cabinet making more space for the shower.
If you are interested, could give you some ideas if you ever decide to go self / custom build in the future 😂
@venture-undecided. Watched your videos and loved your ideas😀☝
It’s our 4th van, some of the mechanicals were challenging.
Think the design for this Sprinter 144 is the best we’ve done yet 😊
Nice looking rig but here are a few reasons why it wouldn't work for me: 1) I do not like the outside storage/garage to be part of my inside living area, especially my bed. I can see wind bringing sand, rain and all kinds of stuff inside when I open the garage. 2) I prepare all my meals, and would have to split the few cabinets it has over the dinette between my clothes and food storage. 3) The sink is too small and shallow to be practical when you cook all your meals. 4) I boondock and like to bring plenty of food and so it would not work with having such a small freezer. 5) I wonder if the a/c would be sufficient to reach the bed area because I can't be hot when sleeping. So, if I had to chose a similar rig, the Ekko would be my choice, especially the new one on the MB chassis.
That's the great thing about people and RV's. The come in all kinds of shape and sizes. One size never fits all quite right. Regarding the outside (inside) storage. The nice thing with this set up is you don't have to go outside in bad weather to access your storage. We have never had the wind blow anything in "the garage". We also prepare all our meals and as great as I believe the video is, Bob & Hillary did miss the floor to ceiling pantry and didn't really show how big the wardrobe closet is in the bathroom. The sink is way too small! The good news is we found the perfect replacement at Lowes and will be installing it this week. What was Coachmen thinking? The freezer is also small and the option there would be to add a second unit in the garage space. I have seen that done in a couple of videos. We wonder the same thing about the AC but it hasn't warmed up enough to use it. The little ceiling fan we added is great and cost $16 on Amazon.
Great tour, but did you miss some storage next to the WC? It looked like maybe a pantry or wardrobe was there.
The tow hitch is 4000lb but what is the towing specs so you can add a Tow vehicle (TOAD) Thanks. Great video...
As we do not plan on having a TOAD I have not looked into those specs. With something so drivable, I don't know that pulling another vehicle would be a choice for many owners. If I had a boat, I would certainly want to pull that so I should consider those specs.
You can't tow a vehicle with this or any Ford Transit RV for that matter. Only a small trailer, cargo hitch etc
gotta have rear twin beds... the sideways sleeping is deal breaker for us. how does "inside" person get up without waking the other person?
I'm the inside person and get out at night very few times, but when I do it is easy enough to crawl over my wife. I can see how that would be a deal breaker for many. Small RV's always have trade offs.
Awesome! Now i just need to find a travel buddy😊
yep so i will go alone at 63 female. been wanting so lomg but a class b for me
Bob I noticed your SOCOM shirt , are you a veteran of a SOF community? either way so cool! We did like this floor plan and the shower with seperate bathroom.
I am a veteran but not of that community. My uncle is. I definitely supported them.
Thank you for picking up the Sword!
They call it the Ekko killer. Good storage and price point.
Really? I had no idea!
It depends on intended usage. The EKKO is winter capable, the Crosstrail is not.
Great review, the lack of a fantastic fan, porcelain toilet, shallow kitchen sink and not flush mounted AC are certainly drawbacks to the unit. BUT, it’s a great class B+. I currently have a View class C and Travato class B and would sell both to replace it with that B+
An amazing review. And I love the RV. Perfect.
Thank you! 😊
Great video! This puts this +B near the top of my short list. Keep up the good content!😊
You missed the pantry next to the bathroom and does the under-sink cabinet go through to behind the grill outside? Sort of a pass-through from inside to outside.
Bob did miss the floor to ceiling pantry that holds a large amoung of food and supplies. There is not pass thorugh access from inside for the griddle.
I like it. However plastic toilets fail easily. I am not very tall so none of that is an issue, I wish the toilet door opened the opposite direction and stayed open with a magnet for shower privacy in the bedroom. Change the outdoor locks for safety. Love the outdoor storage for ebikes. Love the battery power!
These are some great observations! The bathroom door opening the other way would creat some clearence challenges so we are considering instally a simple curtin. We are also considering an upgrade to the toilet. We did upgrade the locks to the storage doors and are looking at a new lock for the main door. FOB or combo is the question.
@ricktanner9817 wow! Thanks for responding. Interesting about the door. I get it though. I understand porcelain toilets add weight so I also understand that. The door lock info is great!
@@ricktanner9817Also, if you did do a curtain, make it pretty/nice too look at. Definitely NOT those horrible accordion dividers.
Great review!
Do you recall the grey and black water tank drains..... if it is a shared drain or if they were located in different areas?
Found out the info.... one drain but 3 pulls, 1 black and 2 grey pulls so I guess there is 2 grey tanks?
Nice van! Really love the power bank and the size of the water tanks. However, for a B+ size, it really feels small and a bit cramped inside. The kitchen is way too small. I’ve seen much larger kitchens in a regular class B. Everything else I can appreciate.
Did either of you try to sit completely upright (no leaning back / slouching forward / tilting head down) on the bed in the lowest position and your head did or did not touch the ceiling?
Okay you guys have to inhale every now and again. God Bob you actually got Hillary all worked up you rock. Nice to see you guys so excited. Really nice B+. That little more room does make a big difference. Do you think you could camp in the same locations as a regular B or would you have to go to camp sites?
PS. Hillary. Bob needs some pointy toed cowboy boots in some really cool hide.
Awesome! Looks like they have it set up really well. Nice.
Next week we hope to have a new kitchen sink and shower surround. I will post a video, but please lower you viewing expectations. I cannot do content like the Vancaskeys do by a country mile.
They really improved the kitchen area on the 2024 model! Love it.
They really did! Such a great improvement.
Yes they did! I started looking at the 2023 last year. I'm glad I didn't get that kitchen!
3:24 looks like a perfect area for my Cat’s 😂
Thanks for the tour ❤❤❤. Very nice.
fantastic that it has a shower! 💧good review! 🌟💚
Would you ever consider stepping up to a higher-end custom built van? It seems like you only highlight factory built rigs on your channel. Thanks.
You are 100% accurate on the fans. No offense but those are junk, they don’t move any air, I know from experience. Go max fan for sure. 👍🏼 Great review
We have replace 2 of the 3 fans (90 minutes and $200 each) with max air fans. Side by side the little ones are simply junk. They look bad, are loud and don't move much air.
Thanks for the tour, maybe a little too excited about a phone holder, but hey...
What Bob thought was a phone holder was actually a snack trey. The phone holder was actually in the air vent and is hard to see.
Shower would be an easy mod put a shower bar that can expand out and use a shower curtain instead of a door
Great video! You are really getting professional at these reviews. And Coachman is SO much better than Thor. It would make us all so happy if you got into something other than Thor! You deserve it. If they really paid 136k that js a deal.. how can that include 800w of solar and 800 AH of lithium? Wow.
So far we couldn't be happier with the build quality by Coachmen. As we are not new to the RV game, we expected issues along the way but so far, almost none. In 2022 we bought a new Thor Sequence. The day I picked it up from the dealer the plumbing leaked water all over the interior. That wasn't even the worst day. Getting help from either the dealer or Thor was like pulling healthy teeth.
We did do a video on all the MOD's we preformed on Critter so far. On power, the only thing we did was add 2 more (200 watt) panels to the roof for a cost of $400. It came with everything else.
I didn't hear MPG in the specs. Our first RV was something similar to that. It was an 18 y.o used beast. It was called a Brougham, a transvan (rear door) 1980-ish Dodge chassis. I absolutely loved the interior. So spacious, great floorplan, really comfortable. Primitive by today's standards but I loved it. We didn't think to ask about the MPG. We drove it from SF to Death Valley on its maiden voyage, we monitored the gas consumption, and I was horrified to discover that it got 8 (EIGHT!) MPG! We did a few local trips, but we never took a long trip again! It did serve me well when Jerry was in the hospital 6 counties from home for a long time, and I lived in it in the hospital parking lot with the kitty cat. But that was it. The mileage absolutely horrified me! Everything is more fuel efficient now, but I'm betting that doesn't get any better than 12 or so?
I love the look of it, I love the storage, I don't love the sideways bed for two people. Some people sleep soundly all through the night, but that's not us. Invariably one or the other of us is up for something - toilet, snack - in the middle of the night.
But nicely appointed all the way around top, bottom inside out!
Loved the story about your rig and travels. I am currently averaging 15 MPG HWY. keep in mind the engine is new and that should improve as it breaks in. Also consider it is full time all-wheel drive, daulies on the back, 2" lifted suspention, all terrain tires and dual alternators (one feeds the house batteries while you drive). All of these features impact the MPG. I find the sewwt spot for MPG to be about 55 MPH and I wish it were a little higher. This rig was built with snow & ice as well as mud and rut in mind, but it also drives nice in the highway.
@@ricktanner9817 OK, well they have considerably improved! About 10 years ago I called a dealer about a similar layout in a more modern Born Free Built for Two and he said that the mileage wasn't much better than what we'd gotten in the Brougham. But your mileage isn't much less than the 17-18 mpg we got in our much smaller Travato (now we have a teeny 17' Solis Pocket. If we're very careful, we can get just a bit over 20. (I agree that 55 makes much more sense - I just wish I could convince my husband, Mr. Leadfoot!)
The Ford Transit does have a 10 speed transmition as well as a manual over ride for shifting yourself so that is a nice feature.
Thanks for another awesome video! We are waffling between B and B+... how much of difference is it really in parking at stores/ driving in city areas... have 3 small dogs and nervous about the 22 foot coachman beyond vs slightly larger one like this one!
We have owned both and traveled extensively in both. No issues with either regarding parking and driving comfort. I would say the Ford Transit is far more comfortable to drive than the Dodge Promaster for me. The Coachmen B+ is 24' long but I really don't find it any more challenging than the B Class we had before. The big difference is the interior space. I actually knew one owner who had 2 dogs and made the "garage" below the bed a high end kennel for his little traveling buddies.
I like this RV & the couple who did the review. Hillary looks like a older Taylor Swift 😮 I mean that in a good way too😊
You were right calling it a class C. It gets me every time someone refers to these as a B Plus. This goes back years. House built around a bare frame = Class A. House built inside the walls of a van = Class B. Hybrid, original cab (truck or van) with house built behind = Class C. At least that's the way it started years ago. Now, every dealer, manufacturer and user has their own name for it. IMHO
I know, probably should just keep my mouth shut, 🤣
Thanks for the video. Was it used. Why was it so cheap?
Well, it was not used unless you consider the delivery from Elkhart as using it. This RV actually arrived at the dealership the morning we arrived in the afternoon. It literally wasn't on the dealer lot for 8 hours before we took possession. We officially purchased it just as it was being completed by Coachmen a week or so prior to arriving. Per the window sticker the MSRP for this unit as is was $192,000. The dealer in Texas, MHSRV will typically discount 25% off the sticker for every unity they get in and they keep about 650 to 700 units on the lot at all times. I am sure there are many factors that will go into their decisions to provide further discounts but they did not share those with me. We felt we were getting a good price but now we are thinking it was a great price?
Thanks Rick for answering!
@ricktanner9817 thanks for the details! That definitely seems like a great deal and a great RV. Enjoy!
When you get out of the shower, is there a way to close a curtian or use the door from bath to have some privacy? Or maybe add something?
It does not come with a way to gain privacy when you exit the shower, but one could easily add a curtan as you suggest.
Stick and tin seems scary. Think of Mr Lemons cabinet issues in your walls and ceiling 😢. ❤your channel!
I was wondering what the wall and ceiling construction consists of myself.
I love this but being in the south I really need ducted a/c. I love the blue counters so much I’m going to change the counters on mine.
