Love the coach! Do the front chairs swivel to become part of the living space? That would increase the “ space for entertaining” score. We removed (and sold!) our dinette and was amazed how much room it gave us! Definitely an option. Love the office space. Pretty smart and I’m sure there are some accessories that would make set up and tear down a breeze. Looking forward to your test drive 😊
Yes they do swivel 👍 I would definitely remove the booth. We don’t need an 8 person dinette lol and yes Laurence just has a laptop now and one portable monitor so easy to set up
Yes the space isn't quite wide enough for Opies Crate unfortunately. So we;d probably remove the dinette put a table and chairs one side and dog crates the other. There is a lot of room there.
Definitely drive one of these Ford F53’s. Our Forest River Georgetown was a rough ride even though we added a steering stabilizer, trac bar, and improved shocks. A 3-5 hour drive wore me out. That’s why we switched to an Alliance 5th wheel with MORryde IS/Disk brakes, GEN-Y hitch and RAM 3500 dually to get a better ride. Also the front engine is loud and hot and will need a heat and sound barrier installed in front. The engine AC doesn’t work too well:
If I remember correctly Matt said that the shower has no room to bend over and pick up anything that falls on the floor while showering. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Although the bedroom/office is great for night/day use, I personally would consider it a pain to take down and set up multiple monitors every time I needed to switch over. Plus is the table top wide enough so that you don't accidentally push your monitors off. Otherwise, I LOVE the space for both the living room and the kitchen. Lots of counter space and a separate coffee bar.
I love our Winnebago Class A, 35ft. We have a DP, but I think the Gas Version is good also. It is so easy to setup and teardown. We tow a jeep, wish we had though about getting a truck, it would have been so much better as you can always carry extra stuff in the bed! Good luck with your decission on what to get.
thanks guys! Yeah Laurence would have to (reluctantly) sell his 250 and downgrade so we can flat tow but that means we could bring the kayaks and other things if we had a pickup.
I love this one for you! Love the inside layout. And that desk under the bed is great! Can’t wait to see you test drive it. I think it fits you both for the dogs and you! I think that one storage you were asking about was for fishing poles or kayaks maybe. That’s what I’m guessing. Good luck with the test drive. Have a great week and see you soon!
I think we've resigned ourselves to the fact we are not going to find the perfect rig within our budget. So far this floorplan has been the best for us and removing the table and chairs isn't so bad. Hey we ripped out an entire outdoor kitchen and bunkhouse our of the last rig! 😂
I just had a thought! How about a toy hauler, but make the toy area your office? You would have a lovely patio right next to your work area, which could give you epic views while you work! If you can get one with a door from the living space, it would minimize distractions. I think the model in the video has a “work area” but you have no back support on that bench and it seems like it would be tight, space wise, on the table.
Yes we’ve been looking at Toy Haulers. The class C Thor outlaw is a great layout but the bed wouldn’t work and we don’t want to go too big. So we’re looking for a unicorn 😂 Laurence would probably swap out a bench for an office chair and he pretty much uses a laptop these days
I was keeping my eyes peeled at the Hershey show to see if you had found your unicorn! I’m still enjoying your rig search and ratings you use. Keep them coming! I want you to find the best one for you, but I’m enjoying the search. A different topic… I love how you say “and I’m Natalie!”
If you haven't figured it out yet, Natalie, there is a switch on Class A's & C's to keep the steps out all the time while you are in camp, so you aren't waiting a for them to deploy all the time. (Also a safety thing for when you need to get out in a hurry at the campground). But then they switch back into the in/out mode to stay retracted and deploy only when you open the door. And is there enough room for the dog crate tucked up under the dining table? Just a thought.
Thankyou! Yeah Stan the saleman did mention it afterwards which is great because otherwise I am definetely falling out of that thing. Do you know if there is a way the door can go back further?
I like this one alot although setting up the office will annoy you. Also when the bed is up you have great changing space.. also can the bed stay up during travel days… can opies crate go under bed??
The problem is the back of the rig tends to be more noisey and bumpy se we'd want him up front. We could also look at just getting him a harness and seatbelt for travel days but I would be nervous about his scratching the sofa. Setting up office not a problem Laurence literally has to flip bed up and plug in a monitor. The PC would stay under the bed and his monitors are all portable now anyway.
Does the bed rest on those benches or does it have its own support frame? If it does, you could just remove the bench with the shoe rack (sorry Nat) and use an office chair there. This is not exactly the RV I saw with the drop down desk, but I do think that one was a toy hauler.
Thats a great point. I think the bed does rest on them, but it perhaps would not need both. Also although it doesn't seem like it on video there is actually plenty of space for an office chair at the end of the bed. So once bed is up he can just roll a chair up.
That's not a 9 office. You need a chair - where does that live? You can't leave your monitor(s) setup so you have to set them up/take them down every day. That's like a 5. It exists (which is rare) but you wouldn't want to Work work at it. I still recommend a mid-bunk 5th wheel (Cougar and Rockwell make a 29mbs). They also have a true 10 TV position.
Thanks Jeff but Natalie won't tow a 5th wheel so there are pretty much out and we may have to make modifications to the nest best thing, but we'll make it work ☺️
Yeah I don’t think it deserves a 9 because you have to set up and tear down you pc set up every morning and night and have to make your bed every night. You have to modify the bench because that looks really uncomfortable and where do you store your pc and chair when not in use??
Setting up office not a problem Laurence literally has to flip bed up and plug in a monitor. The PC would stay under the bed and his monitors are all portable now anyway. We would not need to make the bed everynight, that would stay made up from the morning.
Nice…but Class A’s are expensive, repair cost monstrous and long maintenance waiting times too, generally. Plus you have a motor vehicle pulling a motor vehicle if you want the ability to detach and go. A 5th wheel is the way to go, your truck can pull most all of those with no problem. I think you’ll get the same quality and cool features with a 5th wheel. Just saying 🤷
Yes Laurence already uses a laptop for day to day work he only really needs the monitor for editing which he has a portable one now 👍 pretty good pooping position 😄
Pretty nice setup on the inside. I like the under bed desk. Looking forward to the test drive.
Yep very unique! Suits us well 🥰
Nice coach, the work area is definitely a bonus! 😊
thankyou for the positive comment Kim. We really did like this rig, it ticks a lot of boxes for us!

Wow that one really ticked a lot of boxes, especially the office space. Lovely looking rig.
Thanks Andy 👍 Appreciate the positive comment, we really did like this rig.
I really liked this layout.. Great video guys!
Cheers Dean, we think it’s great 😄
Very cool office setup! Looks like it could be very comfortable! 😘👍🏻🖖🏻🙏🏻
It’s a lot bigger than the camera shows. I think it’s a great use of space and unique layout
And Natalie i agree … love the colour of the “wood”
Use the table in the dinette and put down and sit the crate on top and rig a tie down

Really good point here. Thanks guys. We'll definitely take this into consideration
Cool video. Nice surprise underneath the bed. 🐢
Very unique! 😀
Can't wait for the reveal.
us too! hahaha
Nice camper big money
Thanks!
Thankyou so much Kim, you really know how to put a smile on our faces when having a bad week! ❤️

That makes sense ! Laurence pretty much only uses a laptop these days. Only needs the monitor for editing days. So shouldn’t be to much hassle

@@BrazenBrits
I love it too! I’m glad to you well to help out pick what you’d like!

😂 I don't know what 'loving' it is, when u gotta do modifications to make it work 🤔. 🍻

Love it!!!
Thanks Diane! We love it 😍
It may have been stated before, but if you put the bed a s the table up in the bedroom, then the dog crate can be in the bedroom during travel
True but not sure how bouncy it will be back there? And loud?
Got to have a place for Jack Box! LOL!
Exactly!! 😂
Great Coach…
Winner winner..!!🧡
Good luck working the price…🤞
Thanks for sharing…
✌️🧡🙏🇺🇸
Such a pretty rig. BUT we still have the test drives to do yet ☺️

@@BrazenBrits that is all dependent upon how each is made, so ask Stan.

@@BrazenBrits Great! Its always hard to tell by pictures and brochures. You really have to see them in person!
For Opie's crate, would it fit in the area where the sofa is if you switch it out for a shorter two-seater?
I think I would take out the dinette first. It’s so massive there is plenty of room for table and chair and then Opies crate next to it
Just wondering was that a temp tag i saw🤔
Not sure I spotted that! Hope we didn;t break anything lol
I saw that as well and was wondering if they had picked it up already 😂. Dang that looks like an amazing setup! I love these RV tours.
So I know that Natalie has an SUV, but if you get a drivable, do you go Jeep or Bronco?
Oooohhhhhh team Jeep 😄

Stan Stan he's our Man. He is a really good sport. Had some fantastic options but many were out of our price range ☹️
Yeah I don’t think it deserves a 9 because you have to set up and tear down you pc set up every morning and night and have to make your bed every night. You have to modify the bench because that looks really uncomfortable and where do you store your pc and chair when not in use??
Totally correct. I was going to say the same thing

Wands are for fairies. Fishermen use poles or rods!!!
😂 so bats then ?

Great points but sadly Natalie won't tow a 5th wheel or travel trailer. We are slowly narrowing down our search!
If that is going to be your office, get I’m guessing you’ll go from 2 monitors to a laptop….. and Was that a prime pooping position??
Yes Laurence already uses a laptop for day to day work he only really needs the monitor for editing which he has a portable one now 👍 pretty good pooping position 😄
C4YT
Watch out for engine noise while driving
Due to being a front Gas engine?
@@BrazenBrits yes for me it was loud . each will be different
Would not work for us. I get up for work earlier than my wife gets up in the morning.
Used to be the same for us. Now Laurence works California hours so I’m always up before him 😄
