Bought my Strada Ion in Feb at Bretz RV in Missoula. We love it. No issues. Totally spoiled not having to deal with a generator. Batteries have performed fantastic. If you can afford it and don't require a lot of off road, this is IT. I've been stopped at gas stations and rest areas by guys who come up and are just amazed at how beautiful it looks. I keep mine super clean and bright.
Which model do you have and do you like mascerator ?
Thank you
9 seater? Wow, this is probably the only one in the market with 9 seats for a class b. Amazing.
It's pretty incredible.
Love this company. Thanks for the great and thorough review. I’d love to see them add another floor plan: a twin bed/rear bath configuration would be great for full-time.
Great suggestion Joan!
I just wanted to let u know I saw my first grizzly of the season and 3 caribou today on highway 40 going home to Grande Cache from Hinton Alberta.they call this the scenic route to Alaska. The snows melting and the new grasses are growing on the side of the highway attracting wildlife. There’s still allot of deep snow in the bush.great time to view wildlife.
Joe - spectacular van, no question about it.
I would like to see the demographics of the purchasers.
This is without a doubt an incredible cruiser, but I just don't see the people purchasing these actually spending nights in them. I suspect the first time mom steps out of her $500k to $1 million+ house and into that tiny wet bath will result in a night at the closest high end hotel.
Still - one incredible van. Keep showing us. I love to see what's out there.
WE sleep in our Strada Ion all the time on weekend getaways. Basically, I covered the back folded down seats with foam mattress, and it is so comfy. Seriously can crank out some ZZZZ's. Our is the tour and only for my wife and I. On demand hot water works great. we are beyond spoiled. But it is pricy Ouch, but once you bite the bullet its fine.
who cares ?????Leave moms bougie $#% at home send her pictures to enjoy from the couch in that 500 plus house which in south florida is NOTHING
In terms of styling, there are few American motorhomes (aka RVs) that impress. This, however, does. Whilst it isn't necessarily to my taste, I cannot deny that this is especially well thought through, practical and the attention to detail is exemplary. I would be more than happy to ask Grech RV to create a custom caravan (camper trailer/RV). The very clever use of body styling as a hatch door for access to external inlets etc., the bed set-up and pre-wiring and the rear-luggage space hanging curtain-like fabric to protect the rear of the seats and the wood is the kind of attention to detail that is hugely useful when on the road but easily overlooked at the time of purchase. All of these are notable examples of that attention to detail. A manufacturer that is also willing to show and explain the underside of their motorhomes/RVs is another indication of quality. This is perhaps expensive (it is luxury after all), but I also think it is good value.
All great points Andrew - thanks for watching!
I really like how they put all the outside things together under that flip up panel and the access door for the macerater so you don’t have to crawl under the MH to dump the tanks
Yes! Great attention to detail and keeping the look very streamlined.
OMG, WOW, incredible van, excellent tour, what a beautiful van, Russos, really nice job. Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks as always Scott!
not enough clearance to really boondock anywhere not paved with all those low hanger $$$ things under the carriage.. but it is a nice glamper.....
Wonderfully thorough review as always, thanks Russos. Really like these models. A luxury model that doesn’t skimp on lithium!
You're very welcome Deborah!
Lots to love about this van. Feature rich and only the best in the latest camping tech available on the market.
My only concern is the lack of protection for the undercarriage. If you plan to go off grid a lot of care must be done in the type of roads your travelling on. A lot of damage can be done by hitting rocks or other obstacles. I would like to see more skid plates added to protect important equipment.
I live in BC Canada and a lot of country side gravel roads have a centre hump that would damage this vehicle.
If you read my comment above, you'll know I'm not sugar coating it. YES the bottom is NOT sealed for off road. The sewer hose is exposed and you wouldn't want caked mud on that. If dirt is your primary path, then the under-carriage would need you to add some cover protectors. Good point -- and its not 4x4. The 4x4 is shorter and doesn't come with the fancy smooth rear ride suspension (you'll want that for sure!).
Do you know. Where to buy grech?
Nice premium product. Love how everything are hidden on the outside. You forgot to mention the warranty 😀
Good call! The warranty on the Grech motorhome portion is 3 yrs / 36,000 miles and then the chassis has the standard Mercedes warranties.
Very well done. Each element you show I can almost hear the cash register sound :D Very tastefully done though. Great to see that they didn't make it look all busy with an awful paint job...I love the sleek/simple look.
Thanks Jay!
Gretch makes fine camper van. Quality throughout and well thought out. Thx Joe n Kait. 😊
Enjoyed this tour very much! Thank you! Hi to Kait, your mom and your aunt!
Will do - thank you Pamela!
I fell in love with this Van when you and your Family took it out for a weekend getaway cruise! Except for the overall length of the rig, it checks ALL MY BOXES rather nicely!
Another excellent tour by the Dynamic Duo 👍🏼👏🏼🥂🖖🏼😘😘
Well this is the longest model - they have two shorter models. Maybe a replacement for the Roadtrek 😉
Beautiful unit, my only two complaints, small refrig. and location of the microwave near the floor.
The other floorplan they have has a larger fridge.
Great walk through. Have a great day Lincoln
Nice review. A little more info on LTE Booster or addition of Weeboost? Tpms to monitor inside dually tire?
So PleasureWay, the Leader in all of the options that have become standard with PW!
Great overview! Really nice editing and camera work. Thanks!
Love the space in the front lounge area! Great kitchen: nice counter space, love the deep sink, very well-planned!. This is a very well thought-out vehicle and clearly a very quality product! I just wish I had the money to afford one! (Jane) Enjoy!
Glad you liked it!!
Very nice van. And as always, super photographed and well presented.
Thank you!
Beautiful RV, excellent walkthrough...
Glad you enjoyed it

I love that unit , but I could never afford it 😢
Looks like Gretch is really getting its name out there.
This RV is awesome! … Great video as always 😎👍✨
Thank you! 👍
Nicely done Joe.👍
Thanks 👍
I want one !!!
Nice walk through.
Thank you Wendy!
Love this Grech 😀
My God I'm only 10 minutes into this video and I've seen 9 ads I am going crazy
Great van but it is very expensive and I wish they put under the van protection from stones wood or anything could hits the van……… thanks 🙏 keep it up 👍
Don't really need guard underneath unless you're going off-road, which you wouldn't do in this type of van.
Big like 👍
The van is simply amazing 👏 😍.
Thank you!
How much?
Very cool!
I really like this! Is there a link to a full review?
Great idea!
Still waiting on that #vanlife book Joe. LOL. Safe Travels.
Great video
Thanks!
Awesome video Russos
Love it!
Thanks!!
That would be awesome if it was 4x4
It will be available in 4x4 later this year
Is this available in AWD?
i hope they make B+ soon
Will some nice Fairy Godfather send me one of these for Christmas !!! Please.
Hey Kait! I’m brand new to your channel. Your “books” page and video’s state that you are completing an
E-cook book (or hard copy?) To (hopefully) be released in 2021. Your recipes look divine. Is it AVAILABLE ye on your site anywhere? If so where? Thx
Hi Tonia - the book is still in the works. Hopefully it should be up in a couple months.
F N A brother keep it real
Nice rig but for that price I would expect a dry bath. And I kind of winced when you called it a camper because of the $$$. RV would have been better because this is no cheap camper! Nice job on the review!
WTR,,, Hello,JIM,that’s quite a lovely CLASS B, you mentioned a different REFRIGERATOR, ,,electric I hope , this rig is equipped Nice there is no propane ., but has a second altinator, but I suspect,,it’s NOTquite VOLTA,, that AIR RIDE SUSPENSION,COMES FROM MB?,or is this a custom setup, ?, I IS A NICE RIG, STAY WELL 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This actually beats Airstream I think. Although I like Airstream's front cabin trim. The inside back cabin shares similarities. The exterior is much better than Airstream. I found several Grech rv and been commenting about the driver side finish. I think it needs a bit of better trim. Looks like a fancy delivery van with manufactured layout. Love the seats though.
The exterior is identical to the Airstream. They may have improved on some things in the interior but for the most part they duplicated the Interstate. Don't blame them the interstate is a great rig.
@@1nhonho Exterior is not like AIRSTREAM, No way, GRECH RV is much cleaner looking without "all the cut outs and bobs and fittings" along the side. We shopped Airstream and Grech is significantly nicer inside and out. But you have to have a detail eye to notice these things.
@@nomomomo5422 Oh my dear you are so wrong. Airstream has had this very same design long before "Gretch" showed up. And they literally copied the Interstate. in fact Grech fell short as far as interior decor is concerned
Give credit where credit is due.
What kind of camper will you being buying?
Hi. Does either model have adaptive cruise and/or lane keep assist (not lane keep alert)?
That’s all good until something breaks on it. Then it will cost you a small car and a week hotel stay lol 😂
Insulation?
❤❤❤❤
Does it have AC? What was that big thing in the ceiling.
Yes, it has AC and it will run off the battery system for 12 hrs or more.
👍👍
It's a super nice van but I wonder what the target audience is? Is this a limousine on steroids? I mean seats up to 9 people but sleeps 2. So what is it? A better bus to drive from A to hotel B? Also storage.. Well even for 2 people that want to spend some nights in it it's mini fridge and storage for anything other then clothes/food is nowhere to be found.. hmmm
👍
They're asking way too much at $230k. The retail value is $120k with propane, if you choose battery no propane than it's a $40k upgrade so it would be $160k. If you pay more your getting screwed!
How do you figure the retail value is 120k?
@@Weretherussos in one of the UA-cam videos I saw, they listed the RV you were reviewing at $120k propane not battery.
I think you were looking at another Brand. No way these are listed at 120k
Go Russo's Go
Thanks Rando! Hope all is well.
@@Weretherussos You as well and we are praying for your Mom! I just lost my mother last August, she was 89, keep in touch, life is precious,
Thanks, but a little out of my price range
Airstream Interstate like....👁👄👁
The kitchen is too narrow, you can’t even open the fridge, the microwave is too low. If you have a big butt you can get in there. It’s too claustrophobic. Not for me.
Nothing in that Van is worth $210,000… if i drive around the country and book 200 hotel days, might cost me $250x200= $50,000… and that is on the high end.
