9 Small Class C RV's That You Might Like Better Than a B Plus or B.

in this video we take a look at nine small class CRVs from the 2024 Florida RV Super Show and the fort Meers RV Show and at the end of the video we're going to get a closer look at the RV that we think is perfect for us but you're going to have to wait till the end of the video to see it wo we hope you enjoy the video hey there I'm Rose and I'm Dan and we are the half ass [Music] Travelers [Music] all the RVs in this video are considered to be Class C units you will see however that we do refer to some of them as B pluses that's because we hadn't gone inside yet to see that there's actually a bed over the driver compartment also some of the units are listed as a model number 24 indicating that they may be 2 24 ft however the models on the Mercedes chassis are actually just over 25 ft let's get [Music] started this is the Winnebago vew 24d and this unit has a feature that we really like the Murphy bed let's take a look the view is built on the Mercedes-Benz chassis uh which is really a plus cuz we like the ride and the fit and finishes of the Mercedes-Benz cockpit it's really nice when we came into the view we noticed something very unexpected look up here there's actually a bed over the driver's compartment that makes this a Class C not a B+ also look at this we've got this entire u-shaped bench I like the u-shaped bench it even has cushions that allow you to extend the bench if you would't like to sit with your feet up or whatever I think that that's a great feature back here we've got the sofa and Murphy bed we love the Murphy bed as you all know because we can leave the bedding on it we don't have to keep making and unmaking the bed every time we stop somewhere it's a really nice feature we kind of like how they kind of fuse together the entertainment section across from the couch and the uh bench seating area and the kitchen area it's all here there's a lot of counter space here in fact look at this Rose is going to love this a double sink where do you ever see that in an RV that is amazing it's got an induction cooktop and a gas cook top another bonus it's got the convection oven and a very large refrigerator and separate freezer it's beautiful there is one downside with this unit it seems like the bathroom is not quite so large as some of the others we've seen at this length there's plenty of room it just seems a little bit tighter and I think that there was a trade-off from having so much space up front that there's a little less room in the bathroom but it is still plenty of room for everything we [Music] need so this is the Winnebago Vue 24j and the difference with this model it's almost identical to the one we just saw except for it's got a rear corner bed and if you know anything about Rose and I you'll know that this ain't going to cut it so we are definitely not going with the J everything else is pretty nice it's got the really nice bathroom I like this setup better than the one that's jammed in the back uh it just seems a little more spacious uh so there's one thing we like about this one and one thing we don't really [Music] like we've got a real treat for you because we're here in the Winnebago section of the Florida RV Super Show and we've got their brand new unit this is the Winnebago Vue 24t and there's some interesting things in this unit that make it different than ones from years past so let's go take a look as you can see this unit is a lot different than the other units we saw this is the Murphy bed in the down position this is what it's look like look this is what it looks like look at the windows and the light that comes in here it's a shame that the Murphy bed has to block those windows but when the bed is down it's a really it's really nice to have that kind of view if you look over here they've got a little pullout table with some folding chairs this is more like a Class A this is a B+ we're standing in this looks like an a look at the size of this fridge it's huge absolutely massive refrigerator for a class B+ or C there's a little argument over whether or not this is a B+ or C but we'll call it a B+ for now and then uh and the kitchen area is divided up into two half of the kitchen is on the slide the cooking half and then the sink is over here behind the slide that's really ingenious because you don't really need it when you're not not moving so it's good to have it like that and it provides you a little more more space and a little more space to move around underneath here there's a sofa we're not going to pull the Murphy bed up or I can probably pull it up a little or or I can't but there believe me there's a sofa under there and then also over the driver's compartment we have of course the bed and look at the windows there it's really nice really nice spot for the kids or for a uh couple of small adults in the back we've got the bathroom and this is hugely improved red over some of the other units we saw this is a 24t RV and it's got this huge shower with a seat in it and this closet area and underneath this closet area we're going to show you something very neat on the outside this is the section in the rear of the unit underneath that closet in the bathroom look at the storage space again this is a 24t RV there's two electric bicycles in here but you can store pretty much anything and the storage goes all the way through and it's accessible from the back a hugely great feature thumbs double thumbs up so what do you think Rose is the Winnebago View a contender it's pretty nice it's got a lot of space and I love the kitchen you know how I like to cook Y and it's got the big bed and it's got the big fridge it does it's checking off almost all the boxes Yep this is going to be a tough [Music] choice we're taking a look at another class B+ this is the Thor Delano 24 RW and it's built on the Sprinter chassis and it's about 24 ft long let's take a look inside well this is an interesting design because it's got this dining area over here with two seats facing in addition to the couch across the way and the one thing I think I like the most about this unit is Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal oh yeah one of the things that we really is a downside of this unit for us is the size of this kitchen this is there there is absolutely zero counter space you would have to use the table in your food preparation now it's got this flip up door which I wish all units had but considering there's nothing over here this is really tough it's going to be tough to use um it's got plenty of drawers I just don't see it happening huh Rose too small in the back here we have one thing that we do like and that's the separate shower and bathroom the shower is spacious it's got a nice Skylight provides plenty of light it's plenty of room it's not huge by any standard but it's it's it'll do the job the bed back here is a pretty standard size it's less than a queen it's it's a little small to be honest but it is on a slide out and the bed does fold up so you can get the slide out in uh all in all they fit a lot into the space Oh there's one more thing I want to show you it does have a bed over the top and that this is a window plenty of light up there so that is a definite plus for this unit however I think it's just a little bit uh what do you think the layout is not quite what we're looking for all right we're gonna move [Music] on well here's another class B plus C actually it's got a bed over top whichever you decide classification that fits in this is the Thor Quantum 24 MB that's 24 ft long and MB stands for Murphy bed yes this one's got a Murphy bed let's take a look this unit is very similar to some of the other units we looked at that have a Murphy bed but this also has the bed over top of the driver's compartment with a front window we like that if somebody's going to be up in that bed it's really nice to have that window provides you a lot of light uh also we've got the bench seat here for dining and working you've got the couch below the Murphy bed again the Murphy bed pulls out you can leave your bedding all set up it's really nice to to have look at that all the bedding just floats right there to the middle when you're ready to go to sleep you just pull it down and you're ready to go and there's a nice window in there as well this is all on the side slide out over here we've got this nice kitchen there's a lot of light here we wish they had a little again put a little flap there come on help us out but it's got a nice gas cooktop it's got three burners there's a convection oven/ microwave you got the TV here for the to entertain people sitting across and you've got a decent Siz refrigerator it's a dedic refrigerator and separate freezer really nice setup and then in the back you've got the bathroom a lot of storage on the left you've got your as Matt calls it your Prime pooping position except that it's a plastic toilet oh that's in tribit to you Matt and then you've got the shower door which not really a fan of this this I don't know I'd have to see it probably gives a little when you're in there showering and that might be an advantage for your elbow room but uh maybe creates mold uh I don't know we'll see but the hinges seem a little bit cheap on this one right hun take a do a closeup of these hinges can you see these look at this oh yeah yeah they seem a little bit cheap uh yeah the the the Cabinetry doesn't we we're not sure if this would survive a bumpy road it doesn't seem to be as nice as some of the other units that we saw so if there's a downside that would be it for [Music] us this is the 2024 Thor tiberon 24fb uh as you can see uh the show price here is $11,995 this is on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis so it's going to be a little higher than the force Transit chassis uh let's take a look inside there's some things we like about the interior that we liked about the last unit too okay I may have mislabeled this unit because it does as you can see have a sleeper on top now whether or not that's a Class C or a class B+ it is very aerodynamic on the outside some people say that's still a B+ but our definition is if it's got a sleeper it's a c doesn't really bother us too much again cuz it's got the aerodynamics one of the things we really like about this unit is the same thing we liked about the last two there is a ton of space in here I mean and look at this kitchen uh it's got a huge countertop I know Rose likes the huge kitchen it's also got the TV overhead opposite of the dinette that we like again a very comfy dinette not quite as comfy as the last one but it's it'll do the job and it's also got this feature which is a sofa facing the TV but it's also got a Murphy bed that comes down and we like the Murphy bed units because we can hide away all of our bedding and everything and leave it in place and then when it's time to go to sleep we just flip it down I don't think I'm going to be able to pull it but yeah it just flips down and it's out of the way during the day and then it's available at night and that is huge for us it is now if we have one thing that we didn't really care about or too much about was again it's got the shower curtain in the shower it's it's kind of tight in the bathroom but there's a lot of stuff in that bathroom we're going to take a little closer look at is there anything else you like or don't like I love all of it yeah we're going to take a little closer look at everything inside this coach we already mentioned the overhead sleeping compartment but that could be used for storage or sleeping so it's not so big a deal I mean it's just Rose and I traveling but if we wanted to bring the grandkids or the kids then there would be sleeping space available we also mentioned that this is on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis and you know we like that as we look over at the dinette they've got the usual drawers underneath the dinette these ones are very large and deep and the Cabinetry is again the soft closed cabinets no latch but the hinge does a good job of keeping the cabinet shut there is a curtain around the bed so if you do need privacy you you have that option very comfortable sofa bed here's the Murphy some artwork on the back of the Murphy folds down with the bed and then we've got the mirror here that makes the RV look even bigger over on the other side Rose's favorite feature lots of huge cabinets the TV Rose especially likes this massive sink and this piece is not as heavy this is more of a plastic top it's not as heavy as the granite I kind of like that cuz it's a little easier to store you'll see huge Cabinetry underneath lots of room the drawers are extra wide we've got the convection oven microwave big drawers you got the Dometic cooktop gas burners two of them and we've got a nice size refrigerator separate freezer we really like that clothing storage or other storage very large lots of drawers they lock in place now they don't really lock in place seems like there's some kind of a magnetic lock that's keeping these doors in place but the drawers they're being held in but looks like by friction again look at the storage in the bathroom though there is a lot of room back here and you see the ladder for the uh overhead bed and a table stored away in here more drawers towel racks me double medicine cabinet and a shower now it's got this curtain sort of curtain plastic thing we're not really sure about this it does have a magnetic close um we're going to have to think about this one a little bit it's it's a little bit different um I mean if your elbows hit it you're not going to bruise them U so that may be a plus may not be we're just not too familiar with it and it's got the regular plastic toilet we prefer a porcelain toilet but it'll do the job for your business this coach has a lot of outside storage look at the size of this compartment and door it's got an on 3200 generator and even more storage around the back this is a single slide unit and there is some more storage under there but I am not going to not young enough to go under there and open those cabinets but you can imagine what they look like well the tiberon has a lot of the things that we are looking for it is rather large at 24 ft uh but it has a lot of space inside and it's it's very wide I think it's wider than the other units that we looked at but the fit and finishes are are really nice um a couple of criticisms just the Cabinetry not so sure about that and the bathroom shower door plastic liner not sure about that either uher it is it's definitely a contender this is definitely a contender Rose really likes it I [Music] do all right we're looking at another class B+ van this is the 2024 Forest River Sunseeker 2400t this unit has a floor plan that may look familiar to you because it's one of our favorite floor plans let's see how Forest River did it all right as we come inside we realize that this is technically a c however it's got the aerodynamics that allow us to review this as we would the other aerodynamic B pluses there is room up here to sleep there's actually very a very spacious sleeping compartment up here uh which makes it more sea like so if you're not looking for something like a c that may be a turnoff but what's what is a turn on is oh these recliners you know if you've seen the Tiff and Wayfair or You' seen our review of it you know we love the recliners uh it's just such a cool feature we can relax and uh after a hard day of hiking and just put our feet up it's awesome awesome feature as we go to the back you'll see this one also has the couch with the Murphy bed behind again another I'm not going to pull that down but another feature that is almost identical to the tiffen werer that we that we like so much as over across from the recliners you've got your kitchen area it's got a pretty good amount of space on the on the countertop it's very deep here a lot deeper than our class B also you've got a dedic cooktop two gas burners wh okay I just got a figure out how to do it there you go two glass burners you've got a wireless charging uh dock for your cell phone also one of rose's favorite features in mine too extra counter space they should all do this please pay attention you got storage underneath the microwave more storage over here underneath the sink you got plenty of drawers these drawers feel really nice they're they're soft closing the only issue we have is that they are they don't lock there's no locking mechanism they're relying on the friction to keep it locked up here over the door you've got all the controllers for the units you got your JBL controller for the audio system and you've got a swing out TV this swings all the way out so it's viewable from the reclining chairs and the rest of the coach as we come to the back we see this absolutely monstrous refrigerator I mean look at the size how much space there is in there also a separate freezer with just incredible amount of space you've got a second TV here that's visible from the couch and the bedroom you guys can watch two different programs if you want if You' got the kids watching up front you can watch your program in the back plenty of drawers and cabinets lots of space in this RV in the back we've got probably our least favorite of the things in this RV and that's the bathroom it's large the shower is one of those rectangular showers that isn't that much space I mean it'll do the job but we prefer a little bit larger shower also it's kind of plain back here the sink is here but to get to the sink you have to kind of move around the toilet it's kind of weird there's some cabinet space here actually has cabinet space under the sink it's got a just weird placement of the toilet so we uh the plus though is this sliding door it's nice to have a sliding door that way it's not swinging out in the middle of everything and I'm sure you need that because when the slide is in you need to be able to shut the door in the bathroom but there's a lot of positives about this coach the floor plan's nice it's very open and Airy uh the fit and trimmings are nice uh I just wish that the cabinets would lock and some of the doors feel a little bit flimsy uh the kitchen is is really nice and we like that it has the extra counter space it also has the ducted air conditioning that we like speakers throughout and oh did I show you these cabinets over here more cabinets up top again not they are soft clothes why don't why don't these lock put a lock at least a magnet lock on there so that would be one thing that we would prefer to have let's take a look on the outside of the coach all right as we look around the outside we can see a great feature you got your outside entertainment area the television is on the outside underneath this this uh cabinet door plenty of storage space like all these units these class B+ slc's they've got a lot of outdoor storage back here you got an Onan 3600 liquid propane generator and they've got these things so tight in here that we're going to have to go around the other side oh yeah it's also got this nice awning that's pretty standard now here you've got all of your flushing water external shower needs you got your black water gray water tank valves and empty out there up underneath the slide you've got more storage I'm not going to go under there though it's pretty much a standard setup as the class B plus / C's go really nice well we hope you enjoyed this walkthrough of the 2024 Forest River Sunseeker 2400t as you can see this unit has a very similar floor plan to a lot of the units we looked at but there are subtle differences and that's one of the advantages of coming to the RV show is that you get a chance to see all the units and see these differences because a lot of them look similar on paper but they're completely different and this unit is no different we hope hope you enjoyed [Music] it before we get to number one we have one honorable mention and it's right behind us that's the 2024 25 JW tiffen wayf farer and it's very similar to some of the other coaches we've looked at but there is one feature we absolutely absolutely love take a look at this this unit has a Murphy bed the Murphy bed is pushed up front same deal as in some of the other units we've looked at but across from the Murphy bed take a look at this entertainment center that's a huge TV that folds down into the Cabinetry it's got the Soundbar and a fireplace this is a small cb+ and it's got a fireplace that is really neat also look at the size of this kitchen wow this is much bigger than a lot of the kitchens that we have looked at in in other units it's beautiful and the bathroom is super large just like a lot of the Tiffin we saw look at this plenty of space I mean we love this RV probably as much as the one that's number one on this list however it's just the floor plan why did it not make the top four the floor plan really didn't fit what we were looking for with just the single couch we kind of liked to have a little bit more so that's the only reason it did make our list otherwise this would have probably been the number two in our [Music] list folks we've got a it's not a B+ it's technically a c this is the 2024 tiffen wafare 25rw it's got some features we really like it's got the Murphy bed it's got a huge shower and it's got some very comfy recliners let's go inside and take a look all right inside the W far you can see it's got the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis which we like it's got a small small bed up top I mean it is absolutely minuscule but it does have a window we like that feature as you come in the door you'll see there's two recliners I think it may be available also in a dinette uh we'll let you know we're going to go take a look at that next you see it's got these nice cool reading lamps plenty of storage overhead back here you've got a curtain that separates the front area from the back area now right now it's set up as a couch Rose check out the couch tell me how comfy that is oh yeah look at her she's right at home that pad behind her is not a window though let me show you one of the neat Parts this particular unit has a Mur bed so what you do is you take the cushions off the bed this folds out the bed comes down and then the cushions go in the back now as you know we are a big fan of being able to leave the bedding on the bed and just fold it out of the way and the Murphy bed allows us to do that one of the things we love about this coach plus how about that window back there it's really nice across from the recliners you've got your television it's not a very big TV but it's large enough and you've got storage behind the TV that's really cool you've got your microwave and convection oven you've got a decent Siz sink actually it's a pretty big sink you've got your dedic cooktop with two gas burners a decent sized refrigerator with a separate freezer we we like that more storage overhead another television for the bedroom plenty of storage space for your clothing and other items and storage to hang your clothes up as well now check out the shower in this unit it is abs absolutely huge for a RV shower in a B+ I mean look at how much space I have I mean I have this much space and dig this shower [Applause] curtain how cool is that you can even do your little art you know I don't know if you could see that you could shower wand a nice Bowl sink the last time you saw a bowl sink in an RV some storage under needs that's porcelain as we go around the outside of the waer you'll see a feature we really like you can set up your lounge chairs outside and watch TV while you enjoy nature up under here you've got a bunch of storage that looks like the inverter very easy access for the inverter and you know we had our inverter issues with the van so it having access is great back here you've got a large propane tank and you've got your water heater this is a single slide unit there's some more storage up underneath and this is where your your wash out your flush out there's an outdoor shower there's hookups for your water there's filters under there easy access and you've also got your gray and black water tank flush all right as we go through the show we're finding out more and more and seeing exciting new things look at how light and bright this interior is this is an identical model but just the different Woodworking and the different different upholstery Rose is in heaven she loves this look and so do I thumbs up to Tiffin thumbs up to the wayf farer we are so super excited about this one one other difference between this unit and that first one we looked at is that this unit is totally electric it's got an induction cooktop there is no gas burner but there also is no propane tank up underneath as you can see the propane tank has been replaced by a diesel heater that's the heater for the coach it runs on diesel fuel there is no propane in this unit this unit already has ample counter space in the kitchen but take a look at this feature that is a shopping block kitchen counter extension that is a really cool feature and it's in addition to the other drawers underneath what else is up there Rose show us this yeah outlets right there on the counter accessible coffee maker put your you know little fryer whatever you want to use in the kitchen here's where they're hiding all the controls right above right in plain view all your controllers right here easy access right below the Soundbar all the lights and all the functions are controlled by this panel just inside the door and you also see the awning control and the boss audio systems almost Bose you're only one s off back here in the bathroom you've got the light controls and also a water pump switch that's handy because you can turn it on and off right here at the sink that's a handy feature right beside the bed you've also got lighting controls so you don't have to feel around in the dark in the RV you can turn off the lights right from the bed here's the AC controls also right next to the bed very convenient one of the other things we like about the unit is the ducted AC vents you don't have just the big AC unit blowing straight down on you in the bed you've got I count eight vents in the ceiling that are blowing everywhere and there may even be a vent there is one there is a vent also in the bathroom also you've got these great fans the max air fan one in the bathroom and one up here in the living area great feature make yourself comfortable Rose you know the more we look around this unit the more surprises we find look at this underneath the sofa bed or sofa these are the cushions for the front seats all the tables store under here nicely this is a large storage compartment under here thumbs up for that on both sides of the couch and on both sides of the recliner you also have connection points for the Lagoon tables so you can put tables at any one of the seats also look right over here you've got your Dirt Devil Central Vac soon as you open it all you got to do is attach a hose and you can clean it all out awesome no worrying about treading mud and dirt through the RV well we'll still worry about it but at least we can clean it up and when I say we I mean Rose just kidding what do you think Rose premium TV watching position it's perfect for me come and join me hun I think I will it's almost like home it is home I think it's going to be home as soon as we reclined in these chairs and experienced this Comfort we were sold I think this is going to be our RV of choice we still got to work the numbers and we still have to really talk about it of whether or not we're actually going to pull the trigger on an upgrade but if we do this one is the number one Contender all right now I'm going to sleep see you guys [Music] [Music] later well we hope you enjoyed that video of those Class C RVs if and when we decide to upgrade you'll be the first to know stay tuned to half ass [Music] Travelers
