3 Dislikes:
1. TV in the cockpit. Not necessary, not wanted, waste of space.
2. Toilet position. Remove the secondary door to the bedroom and swivel the toilet.
3. Emergency exit. Not just the size of the window but for older people, placement over the counter is horrible.
3 Likes:
1. NO DINETTE! Love, love, love.
2. Closet is fantastic.
3. Kitchen set up is perfect. Not too small, not too big.
I'm only 200 lbs and I'd never get my butt through it.
Rotating the toilet 45 degrees would fix the problem. Easy fix.
@@americaunboxed1449 What about having an toilet that the top half can be turn to an prime popping position ?
Earl Blackman That would be a good option although it’s a moving part and could break over time.
I am a Tiffin lover! This motorhome is absolutely gorgeous! My only dislike is the toilet position. I absolutely love love love everything else! The closet space is enormous, stackable w/d, beautiful cabinetry, Televator, the workstations, the furniture, the kitchen, fridge, outside design, floors, ceiling treatment (sorry Andrea), the room in the living space and bedroom, solid surface counters. This is just awesome. The only dislike I would have is not having enough money to buy one! Great job guys, you are the best on TH-cam!
This R.V. Is gorgeous!
3 things I like: The Entire kitchen. Especially how the backsplash is the entire length of the wall and frames out the window.
Stackable Washer/dryer
The power cord is on a reel.
3 things I don’t like:
TV over driving area
The ladder leading to the roof
The color of the couch... to light.
Like: the work area/table, like the ample storage, the second reel for the hose
Dislike: the carpet, the toilet right next to the wall.
The crammed toilet is a deal breaker. So stupid there’s no reason to go further with likes/dislikes. They’re obviously not considering your 4 Ps in their design. 🙄
I love all the high end finishes, the fireplace, and the large microwave/conventional oven and large fridge. It needs a bunk over the cab, without it I don’t see the need for the TV up there.
That has to be the sexiest class A I've ever seen. Wow! Tiffin you've accomplished the greatest set up and color scheme. Bravo. Bravo. Congratulations on being the greatest
before you even got the slides out i knew i loved the desk area. I just wish it had a bath and a 1/2. Cockpit area & recliner are Awesome. Yes to the backsplash.
It came down to this coach and a Newmar Dutch Star. We ordered the Dutch Star but it was a close call. Really enjoyed this review as we really liked this product.
I would have to say your Dutch Star is a step above.
• 450 with a side radiator
• full wall slide with no carpet.
• Comfort Drive
@@russellpottenger8584 all true and the fit and finish seemed a little nicer as well. The price was about 70k more but all in all- I think it will be worth it. thanks for the reply.
Matt and Andrea, so cool seeing you review some high end motor homes!
Love it! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I absolutely love the modern exterior design of this Phaeton Motorhome
Dislikes:
1) No outdoor kitchen or at least an outdoor fridge
2) would have been nice to have tall cabinets in the bathroom and adjust the toilet slightly
3) could they do an emergency exit in the closet with a drop ladder since the closet is in the rear. It could be designed as an access panel for loading also, just a thought to save having to lug luggage all the way through the motorhome.
4) Does the power reel have a built-in surge guard
Love
1) having the storage over cab instead of bunk over Cab
2) Awesome dinette / workstation set-up, wish more manufacturers would use this set-up. The whole living room is comfortable and roomy
3) the outdoor storage has plenty of space and they open to the side for the most room with slam latches
They can’t closet is where the engine is!
Love it. The hardest workin couple in the RV show business! Praying for you, family and continued success!
Thank you Harold ☺️
Gorgeous motorhome! Even though we insisted on a dinette (I’m sitting there all the time it seems!), this set-up is really nice with a combo-like work station/dining area. Lovely flooring through-out the coach. FABULOUS BATHROOM! Very roomy and elegant, however not roomy enough while using to toilet! Don’t care for the pull knobs on the cabinets...grab handles would be better in the kitchen and upper cabs in the bedroom. Matt, you’re absolutely correct...that emergency exit is way too small. It’s also hard to get at, especially if you are older and not as limber. The fact that many retirees would choose this unit as a full or semi-full time, an easy access is a must. In addition, it is not prepped for solar...which would def be used with an induction stove, which Matt thought should be included. All in all, a lovely elegant motorhome for a fair price.
Awesome video. Dislikes: toilet position, carpet on floor, emergency exit is too small. Likes: bedroom, paint job, kitchen dining area. 👍
The exterior looks great, one of the coolest looking Class A diesels out there!
5 Likes:
1: Cool exterior styling, flush slide-outs, and amazing paint job
2: 380 Cummins and 10000 pound towing capacity
3: Living room with creative workstation/dining table, full sofa-bed, and recliner
4: Rear closet with stackable washer and dryer
5: The amount of exterior and interior storage is great
3 Dislikes:
1: Propane stove on a coach this expensive, it should be induction at this price level
2: Tight toilet placement
3: Carpets on slide-outs and sketchy emergency exit window
I like the stacker in the bedroom closet. Very convenient.
My very big dislike like others have been mentioning is the carpet. At this Price point you shouldn’t see carpet and probably should have a side radiator upgrade.
I always wait until you make it safely off the roof before I give you a thumbs up. :)
I like almost everything in this mobile home. Except for the toilet seat there is no elbow room. And Nit sure if I like the carpet in living space. And the the stove being being propane not induction. Other than that it’s a great mobile home. Thank you Matt and Andrea.
Yes yes yes Matt ... Decepticon! 😂
👍 interior color/decor
👍 kitchen
👍 storage (in and out)
👍 desk and living area
👎 toilet
👎 hidden hinges inside cabinets look like it would hurt if you hit them with your hand (I know, I’m weird 😜)
👎 ... (still thinking 🧐)
Funny how Andrea said the overhead lighting was "Too Liberace," but still liked the sofa (which was probably the most Liberace feature of the entire RV.) Great review, thanks guys!
It didn't have the diamond studded arm doilies, lol
No, what was funny is that Matt doesn't know who he was!!
I agree w/Andrea, the overhead lighting was overkill. Something about it just didn’t fit with this coach! It was a bit on the gaudy side. On the other hand, the sofa and the rocker recliner looked very nice, comfortable and easy to care for. They coordinated with the stunning flooring beautifully and contrasted w/the darker cabinets nicely. Didn’t care for their choice of cabinet pulls at this price point though, they certainly didn’t scream luxury!
That step cover was best! Exterior very pretty! Beautiful floors.
But have to agree with you on the toilet. Needs moved a bit.perfect place for washer/dryer!. Worse part though is the price!
As Ambassadors of General RV, they should have given you a clean and shiny motor home. Especially when the colors are black and red. It looks like you are in a rest area on I-95.
I can see why this is a #1 seller, it's beautiful, and a nice layout.
Love-
That kitchen. Having a pennisula for the extra counter space is a big plus. Also that pull out pantry, and the drawers in the cupboards. Those are awesome, especially on the lower cupboards.
Love love love the televator and desk space. I do like dinettes, and would miss a table for games or puzzles especially.
And loads of storage, I could make another bedroom in the basement. That closet in the bedroom is really sweet.
Dislikes:
That toilet. Come one, beautiful bathroom, and there's the thrown, tucked away in a corner. It's a deal breaker for me if I can't sit comfortably on the toilet. No matter how much I love the rest of it. At that price, it should be the best 4P out there!
A TV over the front? In case the driver gets bored? Or in case someone sitting in the living area prefers to crane their neck? It serves no purpose other than to add to the price.
There is 1 thing I always want, but never see. We've seen time and again the ability to put a table in fromt of the seating, Not really practical to me. you'd have to carry folding chairs to have enough for people to sit around the table. I would like to see a coffee table in front of the couch. Even just a foot or 2 in width would give you more room to park your feet, or munchies, whatever. A full size table at a couch just doesn't work for me.
Great RV review guys!!! Like to point out the wall light fixtures are Art Deco 😀. Love the kitchen, bedroom, and floor. Dislike carpet, sofa, prefer theater seating, and dark cabinets. But it is still out of my budget $$$
Hello all.
Our likes:
* The decor is amazing.
* The kitchen design is wonderful.
* The outdoor shower area is great.
Our dislikes:
* Were there shades to close off the windows in the cockpit area? If so, great! If not, there should be.
* The bathroom design should allow more room when using the toilet. Putting the toilet at an angle would be much better.
* Is there any way to access the roof except the two-piece ladder? Those ladders are very unsteady.
My only dislike is the carpet, other than that, this is perfect for fulltime. I love, love that kitchen, it has plenty of space for everything. Shower is gorgeous. The bedroom is perfect. I also love the outdoor storage and the 10000 lbs hitch.
Love this unit. Love the bathroom, the kitchen with the pull out peninsula! Matt, I'm glad it doesn't have any induction cook top. That of course is my opinion.
👍 I love how Andrea watches out for her hubby climbing up and down the ladder👍
👍 very nice MH
👎 generator is loud👎
Dislikes:
1) Carpet... period... why?
2) Toilet... 300k+ and it doesn't have an elongated vacuum flush toilet?.... really?
3) That step cover will never hold up. It should be on a double track for its entire length.
Likes:
1) Flooring is awesome.
2) The Big Big Big kitchen window
3) The dump bay (lighted, a reel and roomy)
This RV is not my style. I tend to agree with Andrea on the gaudiness of some of the finishes. Too many lights (bling bling bling) for me. I'm the quiet elegance type. However, it's undeniably a beautiful coach and would make full timing a real pleasure.
Yo Matt, all of the Phaetons have an all electric option with Aqua Hot 450.
Matt, you can get that phaeton with an induction cooktop but, in order to get that you have to get the package with the aqua hot and dishwasher which we aren’t a fan of. Also, here is our dislikes, that medicine cabinet in the bathroom is stupid, ours is all one piece and lots of room. We don’t like the sofa as there is only one rocker recliner and we both like the rocker recliner to relax. We aren’t a fan of the outside color either as black in Florida draws heat and hot to touch. We don’t like the heavy combersome covers on the stove, we live in ours full time and they are heavy to take off and on so we don’t use our stove and crumbs are always falling between the cracks and what a mess. We covered ours with a plastic cutting board which we had made. We love our tiffin 37 PA allegro Red, there is a lot of things I wish tiffin would change, like putting lights in all the cabinets as they are hard to see in them even in the daytime.
Dislike no solar, for the price I would buy a iws Peter built
Love the look of the quality, love bedroom and closet set-up, love washer and dryer amenities. Hate toilet location, hate carpet, like lighter cabinetry.
I love the work space area, plus if I needed tv for an additional screen for the computer. It would be an idea unit for full time living.
I love the desk with televator. Love the kitchen. Wish tiffen had bunk over cab and think the TV over the cockpit is a waste
Matt: Who’s Liberace?
(The look on Andrea’s face 😂)
Andrea: He’s a piano player.
😂🤣😂
A bit of an understatement, but true. I loved this so much! You guys are the best!!! 😁
Have to agree with with Andrea's comment. That ceiling was over-the-top Liberace style ! 😆
Matt -1 point for not knowing who Liberace was :) Andrea + 2 points for knowing and your reaction to Matt haha
Andrea, you are correct in how you expressed Liberace. Here you go for those whom don't know.
Wladziu Valentino Liberace (1919-87) a US piano player who wore expensive and colourful clothes and performed in a very exaggerated style. ... Liberace played and sometimes sang romantic songs and always had candles on his piano.
@@luzmariamartinez5388 In the late 50's My Mother would watch Liberace on TV while she ironed clothes! She always wanted a candelabras for our piano
The 4 things I like about this motorhome:
1. the living room: work station/dinette, three seat sofa with pull out bed, big TV
2. the kitchen: lots of counter space, big double sink, residential fridge, pull out pantry, big panoramic window with the backsplash going around it
3. the bedroom and closet: opposing slides, bed stays down with the slide in, walk-in closet is huge, stackable washer/dryer, and lots and lots and lots of storage
4. the bathroom: big shower with molded seat, Jack and Jill sinks, lots of storage
The 4 things I don't like about this motorhome:
1. the rear ladder
2. the carpet
3. the emergency exit
4. I wish there's an option to seat more than 2 people down to eat
The removable ladder will stop little kids getting on the roof...
Theis is the nicest RV I seen yet and the step cover is greatly needed What a great Coach Louis thats me I enjoy your reviews
Love this! Put toilet on an angle? Awesome work area - don't need dinette. Get rid of carpeting! Shower is great.
❤️❤️❤️ Love, Love,Love the bed slide on the passenger side!!!, I don’t know why they all don’t do that! Hate when bed is on the driver side! The slide goes out into your neighbors yard! 🤬😡 trying to find a used one is impossible!
We bought a 2021 Phaeton QKH in January. (The only bunkhouse model Tiffin makes) Love it - especially the ride - which you can’t see when showing it off. The floors are heated - which is amazing - would always want to get that as an option. What you don’t realize about the shower is that blue button that gives you instant heated water! The 2021 has ppp!
no overhead bunk, the step to the closet,the cook stove. i like the bathrook
that was bathroom the washer dryer and the refrigerator
That "true, unbiased review" maneuver. You know what I am talking about.
It look amazing on the outside. Love the fat, comfy seats. I like no bunk over cab. I love the counter workstation/ dining area. That works great for how we actually live. Yes, a place for a rocker! That is a must for me. I like to rock! I’m not a fan of the tile. I think it will get damaged. Wow, this RV costs as much as my house. Should be warranted for full time living.
Dislikes: Limited storage on the outside. 1. Only the area with the slide out is really of use the rest is pretty much useless, but I guess they make up for on the inside. 2. Not prepped for solar. 3. The toilet.
Likes: 1. The interior color design is on point. 2. Spacious bedroom. Lots of storage on the interior.
Can't believe Camping World commercial in the middle of your review. Even camping world knows more people are subscribed to you then them. 😆
That "other" group has been doing that all week to Matt 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha I saw that too. Spongers. 😂😂😂
Order today and the doorbell will come installed with a voice that says “Here we go now” instead of ringing
love the walkway the passenger seat love tiffin needs a booth dinette for me love the televator! the storage is awesome flooring beautiful not that bad of a price either! yeah double sink showers great
He never did blow the airhorn, did he? After telling us the controls for it were right there. Tsk tsk.
I want a doorbell that says, Intruder Alert, Intruder Alert
Love the table workstation ! REAL PLUS! Like the kitchen Like the 3 AC units. Dis like dark wood, carpet in slides and black exterior. Really nice coach. The locking island etc while motor running is cool
Likes:
1. Paint Job
2. Workstation
3. Shower
Dislikes:
1. Small drawers built into the kitchen cabinets - Would have liked a couple of the cabinets to not have the drawers inside them.
2. TV in cockpit area
3. Carpet
Overall this is a beautiful motorhome. Thanks for the review.
Loved the unit as it has the w/d, large bathroom & shower and color scheme interiors
3 things I don't like I a no emergency regress exit , propane tank looks too small for the size of the stove lastly needs an induction microwave ..especially for 300 grand
Matt, you did not do the AIRHORN.
Wow! What a gorgeous rig! Love the interior. Office space? Really? Interesting.
The safe, after I'd purchase one, I wouldn't have any $$$ left to put in a safe.
Actually I do like this MH. The shower is my favorite, great feature with the grab bar.
A Frghtliner chassis..? Thought they were power glide..
Likes:
Kitchen with large counterspace and fridge
King size bed
Bathroom layout
Dislikes:
Carpet - no way in a high end motorhome
Dining/office area - there should be a table extension so that you can eat looking at each other, otherwise nice
Exit window
I’m in love with that motor home!
Likes: the overall style, no bunk over the cab, the workstation
Dislikes: the tv in the front, carpet, no dedicated oven
I love EVERYTHING here. No wonder this is #1. I fell in love as soon as you swung camera around to view front to back. What is there not to like? When I get to heaven, I'll own one of these! Lol jkg! I'll be happy to just be in heaven😘but you all ROCK
You were a GREAT critic for the toilet Matt!!! The wall was too close....no good! 🙌
At 40 ft it should have a tag wheel. Every Motor Coach I drove had a tag. It made ride comfort
Love the storage, Love the space. Some people like to cook with gas. Love the space. Love the banter between the two of you!
Very true and I totally agree on the toilet situation. Other than the washer & dryer location, toilet location is same as Tiffin Allegro Open Road 34PA you reviewed 8 months ago, and Fleetwood Bounder 35P you reviewed 5 months ago.
But, this is still an great motorhome.
I like the living room, work station, and the wet bay. I don't like the what you're getting in the kitchen for this price point, slide
in the bathroom, and the carpet.
3 things I dislike: Toilet placement, bedroom emergency exit, couch I would remove for a second recliner
3 things I love: Tiffin family, kitchen, work station, water hose reel
You're a hardworking fun couple and countdown to 100K begins 👍
I am very surprised at how close the toilet is to the wall! Is it possible to turn the toilet a bit so it’s at an angle, or is it pretty much stuck there? (We don’t own an RV yet, we are currently just dreaming).
Love the dark wood. Love the office tvs recliner LR. Love the ceiling. Lovecthe shower and sinks. Love the kitchen sinks also. Hate the carpet at slides. Again love the wood cabinets.
O and thank you Andrea for working so hard on these videos as well you do a great job 👍😄
I loved this Motor Home. There was no CPAP station. Though not a deal breaker. We’d have to figure out something for that. In the back pass through storage there were some wires that were hanging down. Seemed like it was a real snag hazard and potential for creating an issue as it gets yanked on. I would have to have that fixed. Not set up for solar. Id want that. The work station was a real winner. Loved that! Loved the recycling water in the shower. Wonderful! Loved the kitchen and living room area! Perfect!
Like the full body paint, kitchen layout, storage and wet bay. No dislikes it's a Tiffin and what's not to like!!
Nice RV, I don't understand the toilet position. Love the office space.
Well, we hoped to by a Phaeton one day. We love our 2019 34PA Open Road. Yes we like the pusher and the Frightliner chassis but a lot of the coach is not much different from our gas motor home the bathroom has just one more sink. The shower looks the same. The couch is the same. The added length 41” vs 36” allows for a recliner but I’d prefer twin stadium recliners. The TV-ator is nice but all and all I don’t think it’s worth an extra 100k. Gas cook top- what’s with that? The should put some glass in the doors above the fireplace and lights. Needs a better emergency exit in bedroom.
Matt I’d love to see one under 40” or the 40IH. Bring it to me Matt!
* buy not by
Likes inside space, bathroom, outside storage. Dislike carpet on slides, placement of fireplace you can't see it without turning while on couch, ceiling décor. Great job be safe 🐶😸
😁👍
I recently bought a 2022 Phaeton KQH (bunk house floor plan). Very hard to beat the value of the Phaeton, which is why Tiffin sells so many.
Hi Matt & Andrea!
This Tiffin Phaeton 2020 motorhome is gorgeous.
The decor is perfect.
Dislikes:
1. Emergency exit too small and difficult for elderly to access.
2. I need a stainless steel oven.
3. TV in cockpit area is not needed.
4. No carpet is needed. Remove the carpet, llease.
Some people may not like dining option but I would love because if you are a full-timer I need a desk for writing. Those chairs look more comfortable. Love flooring. Love pull-out cabinet in kitchen. Love the ice dispenser in door of refrigerator. Agree with thumbs down on toilet. Do not love placement of W/D in closet. You have to not have many clothes in there to move around. Carpet is subpar. Andrea, please give Matt a lesson in Art Deco! 😂
Don’t love the desk area eating area combo rather have a table and chairs can have desk work area on the side. Toilet should have been on a slight angel. To fit better. Love the outside colors. And inside colors are nice as well. Nice contrast
We love your reviews! Keep up the good work!
Likes: pantry door doesn’t open when engine on, soft close cabinets, large fridge, workspace
I like a propane cooktop. Don’t have to turn in gen to cook
3 recliners
Big shower with skylight
Dislike: toliet
Can’t wipe/hit the wall
White furniture-it’ll get dirty fast
Carpet in living room
I prefer one big farm sink not 2
If I’m buying something that cost more than my house, I’d expect it to be at least as nice as my house, I guess
Is anyone else more impressed with redone school buses? They just seem to have more of a homey feeling to them. Also, much cheaper.
Mumzieof5 cheap is not a nice word. 🤦♀️
I love the wall lamps they are high quality I love the cabinets and the floors , love the marble look in front of the co captain seat
No bunk over the cab, I like cab
Three things I like....the wet bay, the shower and the table/work station. Three things I dislike are....for as bright as the living area seemed the bedroom seemed kinda dark, the carpet and it needs a dishwasher. I have a question...where was the toilet paper holder?
Great review. 3 things I kinda don’t like ( I love Tiffin, so I feel bad to say something bad about one) 1) Don’t like the eating area. Much prefer the pullout table w/ chairs. My wife and I play card games a lot and much easier to set across from each other. 2) Don’t like the gas cook top. 3) Don’t like the carpet either. Likes: 1) Love the floors. 2) Love the roll up water hose & electric cord. 3) Love the double sinks if only going to have 1 bath. And above all:::::LOVE THE TIFFIN SERVICE IN RED BAY!!!
Beautiful RV. Like the bedroom closet
I don't even have the money yet for something like this yet, but I absolutely love your personality Matt !!! If / when I do end up in the market, I am buying from you personally brother. The paint job, the bed, and the combined eating and working station!!! Yeah Heck no on Propane...I could tell right away when you saw it early on that you weren't feeling it Matt.
That workstation/dinette is my favorite new thing!! Along with the great amount of room withthefourslides! Love the whole decor and lighting fixtures except the awful carpet on the slide. Best kitchen I've ever seen! Great bathroom, terrible toilet! I hate hate hate the front entrance of this type RV, a deal breaker for me. Want a C-Pap station above the bed. Can't stand how small the emergency exit window is, but many are.
Matt! I haven't seen you since high school! (For those of you who don't know...Matt was a basketball STUD all 4 years of high school, seriously you wouldn't believe how good he is!)
He must have swelled up since HS.
@@sarahann530 he looked exactly the same then. No exaggeration
CARPET. BEDROOM DRAWERS SEEM FLIMSY. GRILLS OVER FANS LOOK HARD TO CLEAN. BUT (sorry about the caps) love the hamper in the bedroom. Love the desk. Love the backsplash and kitchen window. Also love the Tiffins’ greeting! And LOVE Matt and Andrea!
I understand why people like the office space but I prefer a dinet.
Im a hobbyist so i can use the office space for that and i like that.
Matt’s Rv Reviews: this is the #1 selling motor home in southeast Peru...
Phaeton is the #1 Diesel selling coach for 15 years, that’s why I own 1
Matt-
You and I are in AGREEMENT on something!
Yay!
1) Propane stove-yes, since propane is used for the tankless water heater(WHY? Hydronic heating for your hot water and floor heat is decades old tech-wise, and TIFFIN I believe was 1st in placing it in their vehicles)** 2) Paint-that dark paint will micro-check after about 3-5 years; 3) Dark wood cabinets. Gives out that 'funeral home' appearance [dark dark dark] Likes-1) 40-ft, more room for the occupants; 2) SIZE of the engine-as a retired driver, it isn't the hp kill shot you go for-it's the efficiency (fuel mpg divided by REQUIRED maintenance/repairs) {WHY aren't the mfg's using 12 or 13 speed automatics is a mystery to me] 3) That roof array, only missing about 5 solar panels, but the juicy and EXPENSIVE to install important stuff is there, and TIFFIN'S methods should be used in training ALL techs and builders EVERYWHERE-it's just BOSS!.
** Matt and Andrea, as a retired truck driver, it was AGAINST THE LAW to have SECONDARY FUEL-source heaters in our trucks as a SAFETY concern ; [NOT plug-in or electric heat sources] so I am not keen on that method of cooking/ heat/hot water Just an opinion Potato/potato...
What a team you 2 are. 3 likes: it's a Tiffin!, kitchen spaciousness and big bath room. 3 dislikes: no outside kitchen, residential fridge and the dark paint.
Beautiful Diesel Pusher. Wish it was in our budget. I’d buy in a heartbeat if I could. The toilet could be in a bit better of a position.
Good norning! Great review on a great coach. Like the mirrors. Real chrome on metal supports versus chrome plated plastic. Like the wet bay. And I loved the completed backsplash detail! What i didnt like so much was the carpet on the slides and rear closet. I didn't like emergency exit (like Matt!) I could scream for help and wait for a ton of grease to be applied and then winch me to safety! And I know this is the popular dislike... the toilet. If I had the money to buy this, I wouldn't. Over all, it looks great and appears to be very well built and equipped. Have a great day!
That emergency window, the whole thing would have to pop out. I have to change a window that size in my house to a one window fold up to be able to make that room a bedroom.
I had a 2015 40AH and reversed the bathroom door and put a flush passage lock on it. The door had no access when closed, and blocked the controls if left open when the slides were in. Reversing did the trick. It would be nice if they lined the cabinets. Like to see they still have sliding windows.
Three things I like:
1. HALLELUJAH!!! NO DINETTE! Love the desks!!!
2. A designated recliner! Oh my. So much to love.
3. Kitchen lay out is dreamy! Love the peninsula and pull out trash can.
Three things I dislike:
1. TV over the cockpit is really in a bad place.
2. So disappointed there is no oven. There is plenty of room for one.
3. What were they thinking on that toilet placement! Boooo! Close off that bedroom entry and move the toilet over, AND add a floor to ceiliing linen closet!
There is one thing that is bothering me about the cabinetry. When you pull out a drawer all the way, they seem a bit rickety. Not tight and stable. I'm not sure if you are pulling hard, or if they are just not really high quality. For that money, I don't want any shotty construction on the cabinets.
This is really a beautiful RV. It is so close to perfect. Now, if I just had a million squillion dollars....or a rich sugar daddy....I'd buy that one!
Love the storage... but I am a big guy ... please angle the toilet if possible.

Man when Matt said retail was $357.00 I jumped up and was about to head to Virginia. Then he corrected himself and said $357,000 and I had to sit back down and continue watching the video and dream.
Love the look of the Phaeton. The toilet is a deal breaker. The reeled cables underneath are nice.
I absolutely agree with you re: dinette. Love the work station. Love that walk in closet & the no bunk over drivers cab, which does pose an emergency exit issue.
Does the kitchen window open? Cause if not, that would be a dislike. Need to have air flow with cooking.
Do love that bathroom.
If money was no object, I would buy this floorplan hands down!!
