I have a 22 Promaster with a pop top. Another manufacturer BUT...there has been numerous issues among campers with the bolts breaking on the hinges of the pop top. These hinges look exactly the same as mine. Campers are finding themselves in campgrounds and unable to get the tops down for driving. And so much so that the campers like myself are being proactive in ordering new hinges/bolts/tools to have on hand for immediate repairs. I'll be interested in following this brand to see if the same issues occur.
good to know!! Thank you for sharing that. I was wondering if they have issues with water leaks or mold forming on the interior, too? Might be better off having an extended tent off the back for increased space and get rid of the pop top, IMHO
@@Jackie7665 For the owners boards for the Tofino...I have not read any concerns / issues with mold at all. The tops are water RESISTANT but not water proof. Recommendations by the company are to spray the outside of the top with a sealer of some sort (I can't recall off the top of my head). No issues I've read for small steady rains...but in heavy rains & winds is where you hear of the tiny leaks. Nothing that was debilitating to the cabin over all.
I read about most class b rvs and was going to purchase a Prize 18m. 100k + and the motorhome basically crumbles around you. Always enjoy Matt and Becky's class b reviews.
Thank you for the tour, I like everything, going to go look at one, price is nice also. I do not need a TV, or wifi, or other upgrades on the higher price units with this floor plan, like Sequence, (FYI: Twist is the same Van). The dealer told me I could have the awning installed if I wanted one. FYI, do a tire upgrade (BFGoodrich KO2 225/75R15) as the tires that come with the van, Nexen Roadian, are not good, the thread comes off by 10k miles!
Matt you said once that Thor reads the comments so I gotta tell them what I wish for........ Pop up like this but for only a couple or single. (NO KIDS) Get rid of the passenger seats and make the bathroom bigger. Use all the space on the main floor for living space/kitchen and only sleep up top. THAT, I would buy today.
They're not as bad as some think. The key is to have the RV inspected by an independent RV inspector before the purchase. Anyone who doesn't is asking for trouble. NEVER trust the dealer to do the PDI!!!! The class b's are much better quality than the class c motor homes mostly because the chassis is mostly all the original factory build. Unlike those big unstable boxes they set on the chassis for a class c. @@Studiovette
Hi Matt and Becky! My dislikes are don’t like cassette toilets, the cover over the stove and my likes are the safety seats the bed and the storage. I like when you go to the parks in Michigan to do the B vans. Thank you Matt and Becky!
Cute Van. I would like to see a van in the $70k and below price point. I would give up some features (maintenance nightmares) for an affordable camper van.
I don't see this van working. Useless bathroom and fridge, beds too short, exposed wiring in the cabinets? The chassis though, that screen rivals the transit and the digital dash and lane centering are features neither the transit or sprinter have. Too bad it's still FWD. I'm not against FWD, but I am on a vehicle where all the weight is in the rear.
Love the 2023 24 pro-master. The 9 speed transmission, full digital dash and 10” infotainment screen is pretty awesome. Maybe AWD coming in 2025 😂 This is definitely a nice floor-plan for families. Trust me you don’t want anyone siting in the rear of a promaster, it’s a very bumpy ride so having them upfront is great. The quality does seem a little more elevated for Thor! Very nice.
When you back into a parking space, and your tires are at the curb, the back end of the Van will hang over the curb, allowing amble space in a normal parking area for a 21’ Van.
Notice how Becky struggled to remove the cassette toilet when it's EMPTY, imagine her trying to handle it FULL. These weigh around 40 lbs when full Becky is not going to be carrying this around with one hand and her single water bottle cleaning method isn't realistic.
No offense taken! 😊 However, I was carrying 45 lb with one hand at the gym on Friday! 💪 Not a bad suggestion about the water, and I’ll try to incorporate that on one of the videos!
To bad they keep making the pop-tops wedge shape rather than pop tops that are event front and back. Like the Sportsmobile Penthouse or the Colorado Camper Vans motorized pop-top.
Matt is so self absord all about him. Just want to say I hate these reviews. She spends way to much time on stuff we don’t care about and not enough the inside
Love this van
$120,000 for almost no water, almost no storage, almost no fridge and almost no bathroom😂😂😂
…and they cut a hole in the roof.
But fites in a normal parking spot. Class A anc C are nice, but big. Class B I can park at my home. It is all about trade-offs.
I’ll go camping with Becky!!!
Wow that really is affordable!

Still prefer the Nova. Thanks for the video.
A cassette toilet, as opposed to an 8 track toilet?

Is the only thing holding the bathroom sink up, the faucet?
That sink is useless
Becky, twin bed is 38" wide.
You've got two park benches or cots back there.
Luckily, it converts to a large bed! 😊
Nice job 👏😃
An ideal RV for a single traveler.

Thanks for the info. I would want an awning.
Becky Love your Sunglasses
Thank you! Blenders is the brand, love their glasses! 😎
Well, this is a no for me. I do like the seating for 4, but the bathroom is a deal breaker for my needs.
Having never used a RV toliet, i like the concept of cassette toilets.
I do too. No bags to buy, it doesn't weigh a lot to carry, no peat or sawdust. Just simple.
Matt you said once that Thor reads the comments so I gotta tell them what I wish for........

Why don’t you tell them to actually build a quality product instead lol😂
I like this idea!

I hate Cassette Toilets too. Ginnie a small 20 gallon black tank, with grey connected to it to flush out all the crud.

Hello Sherri! Thank you!
@@Becky_Milarch
No problem! I love the parks in Michigan used go there to Kensington beach when I was a
kid in the summer to go swimming.
Did you ever compare this model and the previous to see what the difference was in ride/drive/height?
Cute Van. I would like to see a van in the $70k and below price point. I would give up some features (maintenance nightmares) for an affordable camper van.
Yay! I love the Becky episodes & the great backdrops! Very nice! 👍🤘Thank you! Thank you!🔶️🔸️💛🧡🧡🤎🧡🧡💛🔸️🔶️
Thanks for all your support!
I'm not dazzled by the Dazzle. Quit trying to make a B van for a family of 4. Get rid of that dumb bench seat
Van
You didn't pull up to different ram chassis to see difference in seat height
I love Becky! But poor thing why is her pretty face always injured? I worry for her😢
Lol.. Blonde and Becky.. Just lol.. locked out, stuck cassette, stuck chair..

It’s a pretty nice van. I’m just wondering what happened to Becky’s chin!
I fell out of a different Van and landed on my chin, little injury that could have been much worse! Very lucky.
You're very lucky (kind of) that could have been a very serious accident. @@Becky_Milarch
The rear floor plan IS what many insta vanlifers choose.

Need power pop top & door
What’s WRONG with being ELEVATED?!?
Your parking spots are 21+ feet long? Wow.
If you back into the spot, it fits great! 😊
So backing in makes the van shorter or the space longer....how does that work exactly???😂
When you back into a parking space, and your tires are at the curb, the back end of the Van will hang over the curb, allowing amble space in a normal parking area for a 21’ Van.
Matt. You don't have to be quite. The park is next to a major highway 🛣
119,995.00 sale price. Just wondering. Is Liquify used in the cassette?
Not sure how this only has 5 views after 1 day of upload.
I think it's because the video's unlisted
Lol you both got sneak preview into tomorrows Motorhome video :P
Dazzle 😂
I love the new pro master chassis!
You missed the microwave.
It is not the new chassis - look at the head lights. You guys sell these and don't know that?!
Notice how Becky struggled to remove the cassette toilet when it's EMPTY, imagine her trying to handle it FULL. These weigh around 40 lbs when full Becky is not going to be carrying this around with one hand and her single water bottle cleaning method isn't realistic.
It was getting hung up inside the compartment, it had nothing to do with weight. And the water bottle method works great! 😊
My apologies if you took that personally! I was only commenting about the toilet.
Perhaps you could fill the cassette to capacity with plain water and demonstrate how it handles full vs empty?
No offense taken! 😊
However, I was carrying 45 lb with one hand at the gym on Friday! 💪
Not a bad suggestion about the water, and I’ll try to incorporate that on one of the videos!
I just got it 4 min ago
I heard pop top and seat for 4 and I was done,didnt need see or hear anymore, this is not for me,its a small B van don't need all this stuff.
To bad they keep making the pop-tops wedge shape rather than pop tops that are event front and back. Like the Sportsmobile Penthouse or the Colorado Camper Vans motorized pop-top.
For the thousandth time, INVEST IN AUDIO EQUIPMENT. It doesn't take much to do a remote mic. Sigh.
Do you think a mobility running board lift would work on a class B RV. Example: th-cam.com/video/IiBhAOcI1zI/w-d-xo.html
Matt is so self absord all about him. Just want to say I hate these reviews. She spends way to much time on stuff we don’t care about and not enough the inside
Thanks for your thoughts. 😊
Only $138,000 for a jail cell on wheels! Awesome!
