Nexus Bentley Video

Seen it...interesting coach but it does miss a few things...but for the money, Palazzo people or that area I think is definitely worth a look see....The lack of a true residential refrigerator in a coach this new is definitely a deal breaker for me.

Nexus builds to suit the customer and would put a residential refrigerator in this coach if the customer wanted it. For people like me who boondock and camp in national parks without hook ups, we do not want a residential fridge. That is the advantage of buying from Nexus, the customer can make changes.

Residential refrigerators are fine IF you are hooked up to "AC power all the time. They are a lot cheaper to buy then the others. But if you boon dock most of the time then I personally would not have a residential fridge.

But I believe Nexus sells direct from the factory and will build you a coach the way you want it. I believe they do not sell through dealership.

I think their prototype coach is nice, only one thing I do not like and that is on the paint job on the slides. The designs painted do not follow through on the part that slides in. The paint design stops at the end of the slide making it look entry level.

Am I seeing clearly, there are no windows in the bedroom? I was liking it until I saw that. Is there just the one floorplan?

Well, it's Saturday and I must be bored. I watched the whole video.

I agree with Effy, I would want more windows in the bedroom. I don't know why they think covering the emergency window with a headboard was a good idea.

Adding side windows to the bedroom slide would allow light in and also fresh air.

I have to say that it does look like a lot of coach for the money, I hope they can sell a lot of them!

Far be it for me to be too critical, but they really need to get a professional
spokesman. While the guy was decent, it was fragmented and anything but a smooth delivery. I like the coach, and the price point is excellent too. I just was uncomfortable with "the competition this, and the competition that". If it is that good, don't worry about the competition.

2bzy2c, I also noticed in the first clip that the guy said the coach had over 900 lb. ft. of torque then in the second video, he said 800 lb. ft. of torque.

The presentation was rather unprofessional for a company wanting to claim quality.

Yes I do agree that the two men making the presentation looked kind of nervous. For sure they were not professional sales personal. I got to admit I did not hear one say that it had 900 lbs of torque. I would have thought that a 34' class A motor home would have the ISB 6.7 350hp with 650 lbs of torque.

The 8.3 ISC 350hp Cummins engine puts out 1050 ft lbs of torque. I would think that it would be too much engine for such a short motor home, unless he was referring to a 36' coach which they did mention they were building.

They did have a lot in that little 34'coach that is usually found on bigger and more expensive coaches.

So either way I am glad to see some new companies coming out with new coaches after the ugly recession this country went through. I hope all the companies that went belly up recover and start re-manufacturing again. We need more competition, maybe that will bring some of the prices down some.

I too watched the video. It is definitely a nice motorhome. I believe that engine is the IXB 6.7 Cummins. Ours has 340 hp, but I understand that now it comes in a 360 hp version. I believe the current ISC is rated at 380hp.

I thought the motorhome was nice (didn't really notice the lack of windows in the bedroom), but I'm wondering if dealing directly with the manufacturer, do they discount their price like dealers do?? If they don't that is a little disappointing price. We actually paid less than that for a 35' Newmar Ventana LE a little less than a year ago.

All in all though, it is probably a good addition to the marketplace.

Overall it's nicely done and a good first generation. Lots of higher end stuff that some of the others aren't using, but a lot of the typical lower end bits too, standard drawer glides, Schwintek slides. AS others have said I too was a little put off that they kept comparing themselves to the competition. Being a factory direct I wonder too about the price negotiation and how free you can be with changes - like adding bedroom windows.
