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

i have the same sweating issue. it gets annoying, but am the envy at the gym. lol
21XG for sure... layout is workable

I worked in Houston for a few weeks and 106 F temperature was more bearable than 99 because it was less humid.

We recently had as a loaner until our Winnebago view was ready a coachman cross trail. The model was a 21xg. It had a bed in back that would fold up on the side to open up the entire rear section for storage. The mattress was very thin and we tried to leave bedding on it to save interior storage but that made storing the bed against the wall difficult. It could be done but it was hard to do and still food up far enough to latch. So if you got a little thicker/better mattress you difficult have to use most of the rear cabinets for pillows and bedding. There was no place to put a book or phone or anything while in the bed either.
Anyway it was terrible in my opinion. This one had the generator so we had ZERO outside storage. Not even a sewer hose holder so that had to go inside along with hoses, electricity cords, etc. It drove nice and had some nice features but the lack of outdoor storage made it unusable.
Then there was the bathroom. It was so small you couldn't stand in front of the mirror unless you were small AND pressed yourself hard into the corner. Look up the Floorplan to see.
It also required you to take out several screws from a fairly large wood panel to access the valves for the water tank.

The list on that one was about 150k. If I had to keep it and couldn't just sell it, I wouldn't give them 50k for it. It was that bad.

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!

Wet bay: unshielded fully exposed electrical wires at the wastewater area ! Add Wire ties anything to clean up to minimum standard looks like a kids home project ? Also best to spend five minutes cleaning up the red stuff in toilet and shower clearly no oversite and if this is ok what’s behind the scenes? Good catch on the hallway and nice presentation from your end. First time buyers beware especially the wet bay issues. Cheers!

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!! 😊

[cyndimarrs]

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!

Keep checking stuff out to see what I might buy in 20 years used with low miles…

[penidulm]

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

[johnskelton]

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 !

Been living in an RV full time for 8 years now and I hate cooking inside. My perfect design would have the smallest kitchen but it would completely pop out of the unit

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!

[kathykeene]

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.

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

[gpt]

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

[robertbarney]

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.

[adventureswithgnomie]

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.

[tiffanystokes]

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