The layout with the reclining couch turning into a bed is actually the floor plan we're most interested in at this time! I like the idea of having a usable couch then simply pushing a button and BOOM you've got your bed. We're considering the Coachman Nova 20C but are a couple years out so that may change. Thanks for all the content - it's great to see how real people (not full time Vanlife'rs) use the class B.

I had a Class C Navion, while GREAT on 16mpg, BUT, a $300 oil change? And it was the last year before DEF was on all diesels... read where that system WILL GO out and its $1000 + to fix.. just a bit of caution.. ALL THE BEST and Cheers! :)

My wife and I also have the Thor 19P with the folding bed and it awesome. Gives you a lot more room than the platform bed 19L model. The Dealers are having a hard time selling the 19L floorplan model and for the price it's a great buy. We did a cross country trip from San Diego California to Toronto Canada with two small dogs and we were fine.

One thing for me is trying to figure out the CCC (cargo Carrying capacity) of the vehicle. There is suppose to be on a sticker somewhere on the vehicle that states what that is but I have yet to find that info on any site including the manufacturers site. Supposedly it's the GVWR minus the UVW that equals the CCC. The GSWR has to do with towing capacity of the hitch. Anyone got a clue? Does your vehicle have a sticker that shows the CCC for your model? Next time you go to a show you might want to look at that.

@@Vancaskeys Yes, that helps. Various other videos get confusing because some use empty vehicle weight plus fuel. Some add propane to the empty weight figure. Thor according to what I could find on their site supposedly includes fuel and propane to the empty weight. When you start to add up the water weight, people, any external items added after manufacture, the capacity load can go down very quickly before you've even loaded the vehicle.:-)

Hi Andrew! Great question. Honestly I don’t know why we bought another one. At the time it was what we could afford. But hindsight is 2020 and had we known what we know now….but now we are making the best of it. We only could do a class b at the time because we had to park it in our driveway and needed to use it as a second vehicle. Anyways, thanks for watching! Hope you are enjoying them!
