Hello! Hola! So as most of you know, Windy is up for sale, which means we're looking for an RV.
Yep. New house on wheels. Yes. So we've been searching, we've been looking, and so far
here are our top three. Three. For now. But that's just, yeah. Check them out. First up,
Winnebago View. 24 foot. But remember we wanted something under 30 feet, but still with good
storage. Yes. Storage here, you can see. I really don't like the handles on here. They're kind of a
pain in the butt to use. Nice generator. Quiet. Owning. Little random storage compartments with
little hidden areas. We thought maybe we could put the litter box in there. Could be kind of cool.
Yeah. This compartment's pretty large, but total pain in the butt to get to. Because it's underneath
the slide. Yeah. Oh, but I'm pretty happy with it. I like the kitchen space. It's got a decent
amount of counter space for such a small coach. Has the double sink. Nice swivel faucet. Stainless
steel. Yes. But the stove is, I don't like the little lift up top. You cook a lot, so. I do.
Small burner. Surprisingly, the microwave is a little bit smaller than our current microwave,
and I use the convection oven a lot. But drawer space is pretty decent. Very decent. The drawers
are very nice. High quality. Not as much space as I wanted under the kitchen sink, though. But
I love the pullout drawers. I am such a fan. I don't know why these are not in every single RV.
Refrigerator is decent. A little bit smaller than our current fridge. Go ahead. This is your thing.
That's right. This is my stuff. More pullout drawers, which is fantastic because the space
is really long. And if there were no drawers, there's no way you'd get to that stuff back there.
And pantry. I mean, that's a great little pantry spot for such a tiny little RV. Yeah. Works great.
I really like this particular coach for the bathroom. Bathroom is awesome. It's nice and big
and spacious for such a small coach. Shower's kind of cheap. Didn't really like the plastic
thing. You can obviously see it's a pain in the butt to pull clothes. Overall, the quality of the
head is pretty decent in there, but not a whole lot of room in that shower. And I don't think that
plastic thing is going to hold up. No, we're going to bust through that pretty quickly.
Under cabinet storage. Pretty decent for a small coach. Pocket doors I love. Must have.
The ladder situation, because there's not a bed in the back, you have a loft bed up top,
which is nice because it saves a lot of space. However, you have to be a little bit agile to
get up there and it's a little cramped. It's not bad. I mean, for the size of the coach,
I would rather have the loft bed than take up that space with the bed. So I like this layout
quite a bit. Little LED light. Fortunately, the ceiling there is padded. So if you hit your head
in the morning, it's kind of coffin like sleeping up there, I think, but I'm sure we get used to it.
We're like reverse vampires. It's fine. Yeah. I do not like this whole weird table situation
there. It's a little too far away. You couldn't really eat at it or do much with it, but I could
stick it in my lap and make a desk out of it. So that's the Winnebago. Yeah. All right. So next up
is the Winnebago Vista. Yes. It's a Winnebago kind of day. Yeah. 26 foot class A. So much larger.
This is a budget unit that they have cheaper than a class C. So this is kind of unique.
Yeah. It's got really big pass-through storage in the back, which is fantastic because you just,
who doesn't want to shove a bunch of extra stuff in their RV? It's basic on the outside. You see,
there's not really a nice paint job or anything, but they're trying to hit that $70,000 price
range. So basic water bay. Yeah. There's no flush. What's that thing? There's no sprayer
that flushes your black tank. That kind of stinks. Yeah. Stove space is great. I don't know how I feel
about that propane stove. I've heard good and bad about it, but I guess I shall find out. Yeah. You
see there's a plastic sink there. Not so hot. Plastic faucet. It's just overall not as well
made as the other one. But it's a lot of space and a lot of really nice features for such an
affordable price. Yeah. That's the right size refrigerator we probably need for our style of
living since Nikki cooks so much. Yeah. Refrigerator's important. I don't like this. See,
no pullout drawers. There's no way I'm getting to that stuff back there. It's lost forever. Bedroom
space isn't bad. I really like the full size wardrobe on the sides. It really actually has
more space than what we currently have in our Vesta right now back in the bedroom. Nice hinges
in there. They did upgrade that. That was nice. Lighting's pretty simple in there. There is one
MCD shade in the back there, which that's a bonus. Yep. Just the blackout though. No dayshade. Glass
shower door's nice. A lot more room here. That's a class A for you. See, look at me. I can turn
around. Shower head's pretty crappy. No pocket door. Bathroom's really... Plastic sink. Plastic
faucet. Plastic toilet. A lot of plastic in there. Yeah. Hey, look. I'm driving. Overall,
the dash is pretty cheap looking, but the curtains are really killing it. Yeah. We've
really gotten used to those MCD shades up front and having curtains again. Ooh, I just don't know.
These visors are just a no bueno. They don't really cover you when you're driving down the
road. And in our last coach, they were plastic, so they broke. Yeah, they broke all the time,
so we'll see. Not in the Vesta. Okay, next up is... Ooh, the Leisure Travel. Leisure Travel
Class B+. Plus, yeah. And it is 24 feet. Add a slide. I know, but I really like the look
of this coach. I think it looks more contemporary. It's got a nice sleek look to it. The paint job
isn't too crazy. There's not big swirls. Yeah, but the storage... This is the largest storage
bay on this bad boy. Yeah, and it's nice, but it is pretty small. But the inside is great. Oh!
Look at this nice LCD flat screen that pops up. Pretty cool. Impress your friends. Dual pane
windows that pop out, so when the rain comes, you can leave the windows open. I love that.
Yeah, no MCD shades, though. These things fall off the wire every single time you drive down
the road, but this should be on every RV. Oh, how awesome are those cabinets? I so
want those cabinets. Yeah, you push the button and they lock. That's awesome. A genius,
so your stuff never goes away. And the kitchen space, really, this is 24 feet, remember,
so it's not terrible. I don't like those flip-up stoves again, but I like the backsplash.
And check this out. A little tiny hidden trash can. How cool is that? It doesn't take up the
space underneath your sink. Very smart. Yeah, you can just like slide stuff over. It'll be
awesome. Great for cooking, huh? Cool little stainless steel sink, just like our Vesta has.
Nice faucet. About the same size. I'm good there. You can cowboy bathe in it. Again,
the microwave is, I think, a little bit too small. I mean, what the heck is going to fit in there? I
don't even think a full-size regular plate would go in there. No, or a pizza. You can't cook a
pizza in there. No, no pizza. Hello. These brand new refrigerators have just came out, and they're
a little bit smaller. The refrigerator is decent for such a small coach. The freezer is supposed
to come out of there, and you can remove it for extra space. But we can't even get the freezer
door open. Yeah, I could not. New refrigerator technology. I don't know. There's me in the
shower. You can see, glass door. I like it. Plenty of room for a full shower. This is great for a
Class B. I don't like that shower head. The shower head? No, cheap. I like the vanity, and I like
the space having that double mirror so you can look at yourself. I like to do that. You never
know. You need to see the back of your hair. Cabinet space underneath is awesome. You don't
always get that. Yeah, water filtration system. There's the little spot where we were thinking
maybe the litter box could go. You never know. Maybe. A little hole in there for cats to go
through. A nice size closet. I love the storage space in this little closet. You can really hang
a lot of junk in there. Nice drawer. I don't know what you put in there. Probably shoes, I'm sure.
Maybe. I like the pantry here. Again, with the little pull out. It all pulls out so you don't
have to have the little drawers either way as long as I can get to it. Hey, my favorite LED
lights. Save some electricity. Yep. Nice control center that has everything. Dash is cool, just
like driving a regular van. Mercedes, nice, right? Oh, and now check it out. This is the Murphy bed.
Look how fancy that is. Very fancy. Okay, so it wasn't like super simple to put back together,
but it really wasn't difficult. It wasn't hard. It takes two minutes exactly. Yep, but it was a
little bit of work and I don't know that I want to do that every day. So that's it so far out of
all the RVs we've looked at. Those are our three favorites. If you made it to the end of this video,
you are really interested. Yeah, that was long-winded and we apologize, but it's kind of
a big decision. As you can tell, we were not completely sold on any one particular coach.
We had a lot of pros and cons. Yeah, so if you have a personal experience with one of those,
please let us know about it. Share us in the comments below. Tell us what we do or do not need
because we need help. Well, maybe you know. See ya!
