Hello RVers,
In this video, we are kicking off an all-new RV review series: "Does Size Really Matter?"
Over the next six episodes, we are putting three Class B camper vans head-to-head against three small Class C motorhomes, often called B+ RVs, to answer one big question: Do you really need a bigger RV to travel comfortably, or can a smaller rig actually be the better choice?
And honestly, the very first RV in this series surprised us.
The Coachmen Beyond 22RB stopped us in our tracks, not because of flashy luxury features, but because of how intelligently this 22-foot camper van is designed.
We've driven a lot of Class B vans over the years. But this floor plan may be one of the smartest we've ever seen in a small RV.
In this full real-world review, we walk you through what works, what doesn't, what surprised us most, and who this van is really built for.
In this video:
- The unique floor plan feature that changes everything in a 22-foot van
- How two people can realistically live, cook, sleep, and travel in this RV
- Our honest thoughts on the Ford Transit platform
- Wet bath reality, the good, the bad, and the compromises
- Storage, comfort, drivability, and day-to-day usability
- Who should seriously consider the Beyond 22RB, and who probably shouldn't
This is Episode 1 in our six-part comparison series between Class B camper vans and compact B+ motorhomes.
Next up, we'll step into a small Class B+ motorhome to see whether that extra space really makes a meaningful difference on the road.
