Nexus Bentley Video

At 31 min for video it covers it all, and yes he does give different information on the motor at two points.

I realize this is an old thread, but to respond to the bedroom window issue - I can't disagree more. We've been trying to avoid the egress window at the head of the bed design for years and have had a heck of a time finding a viable alternative. The window-as-headboard in lower end coaches without adjustable beds makes it impossible to recline in bed to read or work on a laptop; and reading flat on your back sucks. I've ruined more than my share of window blinds and shades trying to carefully lean against them while in bed.

This is a wonderful option - although I see in the NeXus, there is a small area on either side of the window where each person could lean, so maybe the cover over the window isn't really needed. . . This design clearly allows for the other walls to be used for storage, and as for cross ventilation, we've found the two small slide windows on either side of the bed plus a ceiling vent/fan work great to keep us cool - especially if we have the other roof vents throughout the coach going to pull air through the bedroom. We have this set up in our FR Solera Diesel.

Mr Marks was correct on the engine size. He did state that it comes with a 360 hp Cummins engine with 900 plus torque at the wheel which would probably be the ISC engine. That is a lot of engine for a 35' motor home. He also said that the construction of the cage was all steel, which really surprised me, most are aluminum now days. The cabinets all have roller bearing type guides which is another high end coaches only have. The roof is a one piece seamless construction rolling over on the sides to prevent any leaks. Which is really great in my opinion. The counter tops were of some solid material, not sure what it was, but it looked nice. Solid wood cabinets, no particle board used any where. Induction stove is really something. My wife has one and she loves it.

And there is a rear window, but I am like Mr Marks, I can not see why it has a cover on it. I would rather have the window with a window shade for day and night use.

Four slides, and lots of cabinet space, washer dryer combo, four door refrigerator. Captain seats that rotate all the way around. Awesome dash ergonomically surrounding the driver. Even the ceiling detail is what you see on high end coaches. Most of the time they are just plain ceiling.
Very nice coach for 170K

And the most important thing is that they claim they will build it to what the customer wants. If they want something special, they are optional, but will construct to satisfy the customer.

There are things I would have liked on it better like the paint going all the way around the slides following the design. Side radiator is nice, but not a deal breaker. But for being their first class A, I think they have done a great job to try and build what the RVer wants.

But I did have to look at the film again to catch all the details because I thought there was some unfair criticism by a couple of posts.

And I do not think they were bragging about the 10K towing capacity hitch. I think that is great.

Wish we had more companies that would try and work with the people that use them, instead of just mass producing a product that later on will need to be in the shop for repairs all the time.

We are having Nexus build our Super C now and what makes this company special is that they can customize the RV to please the customer. We visited their factory and was impressed with their quality of workmanship and the construction standards they use. We worked with them to get a Super C made for our family with our tastes and needs addressed. For this company to get into the Class A business is a plus for the consumer. Customers will now be able to get a Class A built to their needs and not have to settle for a standard motor home that they will have to spend additional money later on to get modified to suit their needs.

PS. All diesel pushers under $500k on a freight liner chassis will have rear radiators.

Please let us know how your RV turns out. I would like to give the new guy on the block a leg up.

Having had 3 motorhomes with a side radiator, I definitely agree that is a good feature. However I have found that motorhomes with side radiators are costing more and more. To the best of my knowledge, Winnebago does not make a motorhome with a side radiator in spite of the fact that their top of the line Tour is close to $400,000. I don't you will see any motorhome less than $200,000 with a side radiator.

Regarding the engine, I believe that in 2015, the ISC engine is rated at 380hp, and the 6.7 liter Cummins is now rated at 360hp with 800ft-lb of torque. We have the 340hp engine in our 34' Newmar Ventana LE (with a rear radiator:() and I am very pleased with it. Our previous motorhome had a 400 hp CAT engine with 1150 ft-lb of torque, and I find the Newmar is just as nice to drive, even in hilly country, as the previous motorhome was.

That looks like a very well done small MH. Nice high end feature with a good price.

If I was looking for one that size it would be high on my list except for the rear radiator and no slide out for the genny....those are both a real big downside.

I looked at the specs and watched nearly all of the video. They really need to have a competent, detailed person write their literature. Why don’t they list things as basic as the coach length, wheelbase and GVCR? It’s kind of difficult to calculate wheelbase/length ratio without either. The 28k GVWR and 10k tow receiver were bragged about a couple times, but it’s meaningless unless the chassis really is setup for towing.

Quite a few typos and grammatical errors throughout the website. Not a huge deal but professionalism counts. I have to wonder if they make simple mistakes explaining themselves and their products what mistakes are they making on the actual products. Perception is reality.

I knew I heard the guy say "the 360 hp Cummins has over 900 lb. ft. of torque", so I looked at the first part of the video again. It's at about 2:37 on the video.

When the two guys are going over the inside and outside, one of them mentions it has "almost 800 lb. ft. of torque". I just can't go through the whole video again to find that time stamp, I'm just remembering it from the other day.

On edit: I don't want to come across as dogging their new RV, it has a lot of plusses going on and if I was in the market for that type of RV, I would consider it. Not all people (actually most) are camera savvy.... I'm surely not.

At time stamp (6:02), the guy says "360 hp with 800 lb. ft. of torque".

And, you don't call your turning signals 'blinkers'.... they are turning signals. :p
