I have to agree. It is true that many other Class B's seem to have more windows, but they lack what I consider necessary storage. Thanks for commenting!

Interesting... what was your experience exactly? Would be interesting to compare notes!

@, I do not remember how long ago or the details. But basically I just noticed when I was on a trip that the battery was not charged all the way to 100 after driving several hours. At some point, it was charging to 100% after driving. So I assume your information was the reason!

There is only ONE manufacturer that doesn't use touchpads? WOW! That just seems wrong... there are advantages to a more manual function in an RV, and you are right... if the touchpad goes out, nothing would work! Good luck finding a non-touchpad RV... let me know if you find one that fits your needs! Very interested!

Yes... quality is a big deal! I see so many videos with disappointed RVers because the quality is just not there in there very expensive RV purchase!

You are so right! I see RV review videos all the time that only considers at the 'pretty' design and the low price.

I have a love/hate relationship with windows. I like the light that comes in (and the feeling of a more open space), but can't stand having windows that people can peer into the van with. If I ended up with an RV with more windows, I'd need some kind of translucent material over them to make them hard to see in... or maybe something that lets me see out but doesn't let people look in. The advantage of more storage isn't just more storage. It's the ability to let go of worrying about what you need to take and what you need to leave behind on a trip. Backup? I don't need no stinking backup! 😆 As you say... 31 flavors... Be seeing you!

Luvz youz tooz!

Don't know a lot about the Navion J, although I do know it has a slide out to give you more space. Do you find that the slide out is a good option?

Not really. We seldom use it unless we're staying at least 3 days and not moving; even then We may not. We do not tow a vehicle by choice. So, our 25'6"" Navion( same as View)is our primary transportation anytime camping or mooch dicking. I really wish Winnebago produce the same floor plan without the slide because I'm would give us at least 300 to 500 lb more OCCC. I'm still trying to figure out why the Cape Cod does not have more than 1200 to 1,500 lb OCCC. We have a slide out, 600AH lithium, 3,000W inverter, 640W roof solar, 30amp AC generator, gray and black water tanks all on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis. And our OCCC with lithium system added is still right at 1,100 lb.

@@earlhunt2815 I believe (don't quote me!) that the larger Mercedes Sprinters like yours have a GVWR of over 11,000 lbs, so you are starting off higher than the Ford Transit. If the Ford had the GVWR of the Mercedes, it would have more OCCC.

Glad it helped!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Come on by for a visit! Be seeing you!

Thank you for watching!

Anytime! Be seeing you!

It's a BIG country... um... I mean... STATE!

@@RoadsofLife LOL!, that it is! I feel like half my trips are just getting out of the state 🤣

@@BeyondtheFern ALL of my trips are getting out of this state!!! The first day of travel anywhere north is just getting out of Texas... East is basically getting through Louisiana, and west... well... that's a couple of days in Texas!!

So glad the videos are helpful! And thanks for sharing! Don't make money off this, but always good to have people who want to see the videos! Take care and be seeing you!

Not sure of Embassy's schedule, but I think they will be at Peace Love and Vans with the Cape Cod. You may want to contact them for info!

Sounds great! Any ideas when you will get your Cape Cod?

Go for it!

@@RoadsofLife hopefully on my trip next week!

I have to agree! Do you think the system is working fine with the amount of drain I got overnight?

I was asleep during the night of course, but when I went to bed it was around low 80s to high 70s, at least according to the A/C thermometer. It always feels cooler than it says though, so not sure how accurate it is. 🥶

Thank YOU for everything you do!

It THINKS it's 12, but it's actually 10!!

Thank you for your kind words!

She sure is!

They sure are!

Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

I think Embassy still builds on a 19' van

More perspectives?

Thanks for watching!

Not sure I could be THAT carnivorous... but I'm tryin'!!

So glad!

That is very true. There may be some builds that are already so heavy you really don't have any weight allowance for storage!

@@RoadsofLife I agree...I don't think most are aware.

I take a shower twice a year, whether or not I need it! 🤣

Great meeting you too! Hope you can use the bowl cozy!

Wonderful meeting you too! Will see you again someday!

Thanks!

I've had a couple of people comment about this. Not sure how to get the microwave in a different spot, but something to consider! Thanks for commenting.

You'll need to get in touch with Embassy for an answer as we haven't had anything break in our van. Whenever we have had issues with the Embassy build, Embassy takes care of it.

You're welcome

Actually... we were home, but the main force was not around us (but enough to cause a lot of damage anyway!). We had to stay with a friend a few hours away for many days since all the power was out. Thanks for commenting and watching!

@@RoadsofLife I loved the views that you shared of your travels. So much familiar to me or I’ll be sure to try to find as I travel.

I feel your pain! It took Embassy a LONG time to do opening windows of any kind!

Yeah... it's locked into Verizon only, so not sure how it would connect to other services.

What do you do to check on Verizon coverage? I've seen a coverage map, but it is basically the entire US, so it doesn't give me detail of the area I happen to be in.

It is! The only issue I had was there was a train track nearby, so you have to deal with that noise. It seemed to end around 11 pm or so.

$113k is not a bad total price, but I get where you're coming from. Sometimes you think you will travel one way and it just doesn't turn out that way. For us, the van has worked very well, even though it pretty much sat in the driveway for the first year. I worked full time, so we could only do short weekend trips, if that! But it came in very handy for a couple of reasons. I was working online at home, and I was expected to be online no matter what. Two times we completely lost our internet service, but I just got in the van, ran the engine (which gave me wifi through the Ford service) and was able to continue working with no issues. Most recently, we went through Hurricane Beryl, and were able to leave town for the many days we had no power at all. That makes the van worth it for us. You will have to weigh the benefits, look at taxes and other spending, and whatever extras that RV gives you to decide if it is ultimately worth the expense in the long run. Good luck!

That's why RV travel is so worth it. Thanks for watching!

I don't think it has a stove. It uses an induction cooktop and has a convection microwave though. You'll have to ask Embassy about trailer weights.

​@@RoadsofLifeEmbassy tech specs shows GCVW as 15k and GVWR as 11k, therefore max trailer/toad weight is 4k

@@leonwagenaar4479 Thanks for info!

I knew it would! Thanks for watching!
