Counter board is coorsa or cooser board if I have the spelling right. Used today on small boats such as small fishing boats meant for lakes and rivers mostly. Supper strong, never rots and just a great product when water is involved. Infact, stronger than plywood !

Everything is positive in this wonderful small RV , love it! 🥸

Hey Myles, the 21XG is my favorite. Mainly because the rear entry garage/storage allows you put longer items (like kayakas) and a bit taller. I also like the bathroom layout better and the fold down bed allows you to keep things inside. Great job giving us a quick tour of these units. On a different note, I’m from Austin and I agree with 100% about the humidity making the heat worse. Safe travels!

We recently bought a 2023 21XG, and so far, we are loving it!! We watched so many of your videos and looked for a long time before purchasing. I appreciate all you do and the great info in your videos! So far, our 21XG has been amazing, especially for us as weekend warriors (unfortunately still have to work...lol). Keep doing what you do!! 😊

Sir, narrow pathways are meant to offer safety. Like on a ship and trains which also offer pullmans, small, tiny private spaces. Reason being narrow is to offer safety when vessel, rv vehicle or train is in motion, moving! Ships, boats and train also have grab rails. I wonder if rv's do.

I'm the same way. I moved from southern California to Alabama and I know a 90* humid day here is much worse then 110* dry day. Humidity sucks out your soul and doesn't allow it to truly evaporate.

Absolutely agree about the "outdoor kitchen" wasting valuable storage space.

I agree about the outdoor kitchen. I'd rather have the inside storage instead of a 2nd, almost wasteful, outdoor kitchen. And Wow! on the storage area on both. I think I prefer the 21 model better. It has a better layout. And that backdoor is nice as well. You may lose some storage area in the 21, but it's still a nice storage area for an RV.

The 20XG is my favorite. Remember that many of us aren't spring chickens. It looks like my mobility Scooter would fit under that bed! Most hitches are too wimpy to hold it. That is fantastic!

wow that price is outrageous especially when it's not even MSRP that coach is so cheaply made coachmen should be embarrassed. I thought I was going to see the quality of the coachmen Galleria or Nova.

totally agree with not needing the outdoor kitchen. In a small kitchen, storage is a priority.

Love that separated commode shower best idea ever im really looking at a pursue soon

I like it! We’ve been looking at Class B vans for a while because we like the size and the spontaneity of just being able to go anywhere. I can see why you would like the one with the huge rear door for toys. Very interesting.

2nd alternative for sure if you also ride motocross. I'm loving my new Jayco Terrain (2023) for my kids' motocross racing. I can fit 2 bikes in the garage and a third bike on a hitch switch hauler (vs bringing my trailer). It's a super game changer for practice day trips and rolling into far races without towijg a trailer. Having a retractable bed is also clutch because for my van at least, I can load max 110 pounds on the bed at any level while driving. So dirt bikes underneath, and additional items on top of the bed. Another person could definitely sleep under the bed in either RV in this vid. I sleep under my queen sized bed while wife and younger son sleeps on the bed. Older son sleeps in the front cab using the Luno sleep set up.

I agree with your thinking Myles. Your what we say in Texas "mileing out" your truck with all your traveling. I think there is a better option out there. The showers tight but how much time you gonna spend in the bathroom anyway? Yeah porcelain is best! these 2 might work, but somehow, I think a darker painted/wrapped coach is more you. The search continues... 😁 Have a great day!

Love Myles’ videos. Doesn’t hurt that he’s such a good looking guy!

I actually like the other one that you showed us really quick. With the L shaped dinette. Great video!😊

Take out the outside grill and put in a dessecant dehumidifier for 30 gallons of water per day to keep your water tank full. I would use my one wheel over a motorcycle or ebike

I like the 21xg -- the storage in the wardrobe area is sufficient with the cargo/bed area. I really like the bathroom better in it. The very best thing is that they've updated the kitchens and have full size fridge now.

Agree with the weather preference....Heat is tolerable as long as there isn't too much humidity. Nice video. Thanks

I've been sweatin' the 21XG and the 22XG floorplans for a while now for the same reason of wanting to bring a motorcycle! Thanks for getting the door measurements for that. I couldn't find that anywhere online. Make sure to check the 22XG floorplan too. It has an overcab bed so when you have your moto inside, you don't need to haul it out for a bed.

I just watched a video on a Chinook and you can visibly see the difference in higher quality in the Chinook.

Well I’m little so both work for me 😆🤷‍♀️. I like the main one you profiled, the one with the bed that goes up and down. I can fit both of my bikes, my paddle board, kayak and tennis equipment 😁😁

One thing you need to think about with the set up like this is that the bed is pretty much unusable if you have anything in the storage area. If you’re traveling a long distance with a full storage area, you better hope that when you pull off into a rest area, you can fit in that booth table area. Especially with the fold down bed in the 21 footer. 😮 Great review, Myles!

We just changed our minds on travel trailers the other day. We are getting too old for tent camping so we were going to do a trailer but honestly B+/Class C is really more our speed.

It's all about tank capacities. I recently took my 34'class A and camped for a week. The van RVs were hauling water to their RVs after about 3 or 4 days. That means they were stealth dumping grey water. These small RVs seem appealing, but a 70gal tank gives you a hot shower every day and much extends your trip.

21 is the one you should showed on inside. Like the sofa an table over dinette, like the 400 watt solar and generator.

Great review, but too many compromises for the price. Somethings have to give when you try to cram a toy hauler into 20 feet!

Commenting on the weather I grew up in Ohio so I totally understand the horrors of humidity Lived in Death Valley CA for 5 years and anything below 120 degrees was tolerable Hottest it got while I lived there was 129 degrees As for the rigs, my kid is 6'3" so these would not be comfortable to travel in Still looking at Super Cs though Also, I have an outdoor kitchen and have never used it I do keep bottled water and Gatorade in the fridge though incase any of the neighbors are out in the heat and need hydration suddenly

Price is ridiculous

Love your videos!

I drive this chassis for Amazon with those cloth seats on the cvd vans from ford and I have to say the side bolster’s loses its padding after 20k miles of moderate to heavy use, exposing the metal framing of chair. The seat cushion is awful and my back is killing me by the time I return to station. 😅 It’s disgusting that for the listed price Coachmen wouldn’t install their signature, upgraded foam padding seats for the driver that it shares with their mattress. Too many compromises for the price tag!

OK to start. First they're already a class c+. Unity. It's everything I would like to have in a Class C. So is better than that? Total cost of the unit?

To be honest, being a family of 4 , i would consider putting a double bunk bed in the back, so it could sleep 4

The first model with cross storage missed the mark by NOT adding just one more door, on the back, so that your KAYAK idea would actually work. (Can’t fold a rigid kayak around a corner.) Yes, the second model had a door on the back, but NOT storage access on the sides. Manufacturers get SO CLOSE to the perfect combination, and then they STOP SHORT of the great finish. It is very frustrating to watch them continue to FAIL in design. Same with RVs that refuse to offer KING beds as an option, or better yet, make KINGS the standard. I’ve NEVER heard of anyone complaining that a bed was TOO BIG.

outdoor kitchen can do without, like them but not required, do want out door fridge however.

As an avid Asmoke user, I can't help but express how much it has revolutionized my outdoor cooking experience! Prior to owning an Asmoke, I struggled with maintaining consistent temperature with my old grill during our RV trips. However, with Asmoke's precise digital controller and FlameTech patent, maintaining the perfect cooking temperature has been a breeze. Additionally, its lightweight design and battery power make it an ideal companion for our RV adventures. The best part? The wood pellets add an unmatched smoky flavor to our meals, making our outdoor feasts even more memorable. I can't recommend Asmoke enough for anyone who enjoys cooking outdoors during their RV trips! #Asmoke

Like having both lithium and generator.

No C-Pap shelf on the bed 🤷‍♂️

You have hands down the best RV channel. Great vibes awesome narration. Exactly what I want to see every time. Really appreciate it

Also, unless it has a sink, fridge, outlets and storage, it’s really just a waste of space. I don’t see the point of only having a grill outside.

I definitely like the 2021 better, I’d like to think the price would be a lot better also

I think it should be optional for the outside kitchen.

Like RV

All those loose wires hanging above the tank dump valve is a disaster waiting to happen.

This doesn’t seem up to coachmen standards. Comes across as very cheaply made. I agree with you on the outside kitchen, especially on a unit with limited storage to begin with.

Did not see any of the controls? Firefly? Thanks..

Hey Myles, I have a quick question. What fifth wheel or travel trailer would you recommend that has decent floor space, storage, and would be comfortable for a couple and two pitbulls to live in full-time? I would prefer to stay in the $60,000 range. Thank you in advance if you're able to answer.

❤❤❤

Ok Next 😊

I really like that whole set up but that pricing is ridiculous.

How many mpg do you get out of that tundra on the highway?

So, what’s so great about a porcelain toilet?

When are manufacturers going to make a bare bones model that allows the customer to create their own setup?

Poor design for heating pad all you have to do is run over something sticky and kick up debris and it will put a hole in the tank and rip the heating pad off!!

So your gonna be sleeping directly over top of your outdoor storage!? Imagine the smell

I’m just gonna be honest you kinda yammer on about unnecessary stuff all the time , and you kind of over explain some of the least interesting features of the things you’re showing. I have to ffwd a lot. I would like more useful and pertinent information, like I learned how many miles and what kind of truck you drive before the rv I was interested in.

The outdoor kitchen in the 20XG is a mistake. I would put my small grill in the back and use it. The shower needs a bubble in the top. Stupid plastic toilet! I don't like this RV. I would have loved to have seen a walkthrough of the 21 XG. Without it I can't say anything about the cons in the 21XG.

Nothing i see can justify that price. It looks nice on the outside but that's about it.

So are we all going to just ignore the blood on the floor of the shower?

This is the best motor home I have seen.... I would set up a grow light under that bed and grow me some veggies !! I love it ! I Love the set up!

Am I the only one concerned by the red fluid in the shower and toilet? 😂

Any time you have to climb over someone to use the bathroom at night is a no go.😢

It’s a baby RV you drive while waiting to afford a big boy RV!

How much

Are they AWD ?

no rv should cost $139K

Where was the privacy screen between cab and living space? Watched this many times don’t see one

Outdoor kitchens and dinettes are the 2 biggest wastes of space in an rv.

So it's a Winobegga Ekko with a east west bed for people who like the crawl over their partner 😞 For people like me with a pacemaker the induction cooktop is a no go

I’ve looked at the same RV and I believe you will find it difficult if not impossible to get a motorcycle inside the garage area. What I would recommend is buying motorcycle hitch mount and transport your bike on the back of the RV utilizing the trailer hitch.

It’s basically a van

I dont mine the walkway is narrow. Its a rv after all

Not a fan of the bed set up. To sleep you can't have the storage full.

Approximately 185k.

My first impression is that the price is a joke. Not impressed at all.

190k? They have lost their minds

I like size but it’s cheap

You're right, that outdoor kitchen takes away from the already small interior kitchen storage. Not near enough storage for me.

I don't see the point of an outdoor kitchen. You're camping most people bring a BBQ grill when camping and if you're full timing would you ever even want to use the outdoor kitchen

The first thing that strikes me is how bad the graphics are. Woof!

$140K GTFOH!!!

No place for a trash can! I would not buy a motorhome with no trash can space whether it had a outdoor kitchen or not!

goodness, get on with the review,, 1/3 of vid of rambling = not watchable

350 lbs. max for such a large garage 🤔

Finally Americans start adding storage 😂 kind like 10-15 years behind from Europeans

Is that blood in the shower

So many words

Once you said ecoboost 👎

....No Tween Beds.... How Hard Can That Be??? ....I'm Out.

I don’t care for either RV’s.

Way too small.

Your solution to putting to many miles on your truck is to buy a $150k RV. Hahaha.

FF

The problem with most American products is that they are built very cheaply. The colors don't match and are bland. The focus is always on randomly place furniture which as a whole looks awkward. They always have constant leaks throughout usage. They rarely are innovative and are usually predictable. It's almost as if American companies try to do the least possible while jacking up the price on these mediocre vehicles. The RVs in this video are both at over 139 thousand dollars. With tax God knows how much more. You are better off buying an empty RV for about 15 to 25 thousand dollars and having it custom built to what you want for an additional 10 to 15 thousand dollars. American companies are too greedy and usually don't care about their customers. They mostly care about profit. And it shows in their RV final product builds. If you look up European campers or European RVs you can see the difference in quality at a lower price.

Underpowered engine. Rather have a v8 OR V10

Not big guy friendly. Sad.

Rv with a v6 eco is junk , needs a v8

Who is buying these costly RV's? Insane in the membrane. Cray-Cray. Just buy a van and hire someone for build-out.
