Default Shopping for a new Class B

I am new to the RV world. I am shopping for a class B RV. Looking at a new American Coach Patriot or a new American Coachman Galleria. What opinions are out there?

Hi welcome to the forums


Suggest you look at some models at the dealers, also watch youtube demos by salespeople ( who are often large men, watch if they can move with ease in the van)- you could also check out used models from private sellers


That may help you define which aspects are important for you, which are not


for instance; a sideways sleeper may require a climb over to get to the can in the middle of the night


gas or diesel is a big question if you plan on ever working on it ( a diesel may require dealer only service and a long supply line for parts)

if i were buying again-which because of health issues unlikely-


the one thing i hated about my former van is how warm it mostly seemed inside.


the only thing i would consider buying is a large lithium battery system that could run air conditioner for an extended times.

I would buy-at this time a Travato KL National Park model.
