Early in 2019, Coachmen RV announced it would be updating its Class B motorhome line by introducing the Beyond. Formerly known as the Crossfit, the Beyond combines luxury details and practical features on a Ford 350 Transit chassis with dual rear wheels. The result is a stylish camper van with impressive cargo carrying capacity. Let’s dive right into this RV overview of the Coachmen Beyond Class B.
A camper van constructed with care
Coachmen takes great pride in manufacturing its RVs. The Beyond is no exception; this camper van was designed with plenty of attention to detail. First, Coachmen chose upgraded parts to give owners a smooth and comfortable ride. The Ford 350 Transit chassis was paired with a SumoSprings suspension kit. SumoSprings help reduce sway and enhance load carrying capacity. In addition, dual rear wheels provide improved handling and towing.
More upgrades are found inside this camper van. Fire-resistant, water-resistant Rockwool insulation is standard in the Beyond. This material has great sound absorbing and thermal insulating properties. On top of that, Coachmen used marine-grade PVC sidewalls (another industry first). Unlike cloth, this material won’t absorb moisture or odors. It also won’t crack or rattle like ABS panels. Finally, the wetbath features a durable one-piece fiberglass shower.
Coachmen Beyond combines luxury details and practical features in a camper van
There are three adventure-ready Coachmen Beyond floorplans available. The 22C and 22D models have a rear lounge/bedroom, mid-cabin galley and wetbath. The difference between these two floorplans is the seating. A lay-flat sofa is found at the rear of the coach in the 22C while the 22D has two facing sofas. The third floorplan, the 22RB, moves the wetbath to the rear of the coach. This frees up space to place the galley at the front of the cabin.
Whichever floorplan you choose, you’ll have all the amenities of home. The galley includes a sink, fridge, microwave, and LP cooktop. For staying warm, Coachmen included the Truma Combi Eco Plus. This combination furnace and water heater is extremely quiet and energy-efficient. When you’re ready to relax, the Ultraleather seats easily convert into plush beds.
Besides these practical features, the Beyond also has several high-end details. Premium, real hardwood cabinets provide ample storage space. Also, the overhead cabinets are lighted from inside to make it easy to locate what you’re looking for. There’s even dedicated trash can storage for a more residential feel!
Enjoy traveling more in a Coachmen Beyond camper van
Of course, the reason why anyone buys a camper van is to travel more frequently. The Beyond’s 3.7L V6 engine averages 14 MPG in the city and 18 MPG on the highway, making it a great choice for coast to coast adventures. There are also numerous built-in safety features for your peace of mind. Lane keep assist, a safety canopy system, side-wind stabilization, SOS post-crash alert system, and hill start assist are standard.
And the Beyond makes it easy to experience more of the outdoors. Large, frameless windows, an electric awning, plus rear and side screen doors let you enjoy the views. For power needs in remote areas, this B-van includes a standard 100 Watt solar panel with dual charging capabilities. There’s also a lightweight Onan gasoline generator.
When it comes to hauling your gear, the Beyond boasts impressive cargo carrying capacity. Depending on which floorplan you choose, the CCC ranges from 1,800-1,900 lbs. This means you’ll have no trouble bringing along all your favorite outdoor gear.
Overall, the Coachmen Beyond is a must-see option if you’re ready to take your camper van adventures further. Packed with all the amenities you’ll need, plus numerous upgrades for added comfort, this RV is a great value for the countless memories you’ll make.
