    • @VANTREKKINGlifestyle
      @VANTREKKINGlifestyle  3 роки тому +1

      We’ve added some to the back doors but so far staying warm in colder weather has not been a problem. I do hate the thoughts of taking everything apart to do that but at least we have a good resource if we want to do that. I don’t think we will add anymore at this time.

    I love that table! I'm trying to figure out how I could do that with my ERA. I have a cabinet door that opens to the outside so I can't have the table swing up like that. I'm sure I can find cleats that would support a table. Safe travels!

      @VANTREKKINGlifestyle  3 роки тому +1

      Great point! We have already used it several times in sand, overland situations and in our video coming up this Sunday in some pretty sketchy snowy mountainside situations. For us it’s not something we hope to use every day, but it’s a safety feature that if needed it’s there. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching.

    Owen how does the travato compare to the revel in terms of comfort, drive, and everyday use?

    • @VANTREKKINGlifestyle
      @VANTREKKINGlifestyle  3 роки тому

      Both are great daily drivers for sure. Revel is easier to park due to size. Revel’s cassette toilet means you can use it everyday and empty when you get back home. Due to safety features of the Revel we “feel” safer. We used the Travato as a daily driver some but use the Revel, much, much more.

      @VANTREKKINGlifestyle  3 роки тому

      Haha! Yes, it’s crazy isn’t it? And... we didn’t pay MSRP and hope nobody else is either. The table is one of those things that makes you smile. Last year’s model had a table... with a pole... with a screw on the bottom to adjust for level. With that design you just don’t use it as much. But when you can have a table under the awning in 5 seconds you appreciate that. Maybe not $190k worth of appreciate it but you do appreciate it.

    Okay... some questions...
    What is the actual ground clearance of the Revel?
    What model A/C do you have?
    Is cereal soup? Why or why not?
    Is part of the A/C on the roof or is it all inside the van?
    Toilet paper... over or under?
    How is storage going for you? Is it less than the Travato was, and if so, does that matter?
    If peanut butter wasn’t called peanut butter, what would it be called?
    Where is Maggie sleeping now?
    Who do you know that really reminds you of a character in a TV show or movie?
    How is the insulation in the Revel (especially compared to the Travato)?
    What word is spelled incorrectly in every single dictionary?
    I might have added a few questions that just don't need answering ( 😆 ) but that's what you get for talking to me! I'll do anything for a laugh!
    Be seeing you!

      What is the actual ground clearance of the Revel? Just enough.
      What model A/C do you have? NDQ
      Is cereal soup? Why or why not? Depends on how much milk you use
      Is part of the A/C on the roof or is it all inside the van? On roof too
      Toilet paper... over or under? Don’t like spiders... Over
      How is storage going for you? Is it less than the Travato was, and if so, does that matter? Less without garage... more with. working
      If peanut butter wasn’t called peanut butter, what would it be called? I give, what?
      Where is Maggie sleeping now? Bed beside sliding door.
      Who do you know that really reminds you of a character in a TV show or movie? This guy from Roads of Life... the just the facts ma’am show.
      How is the insulation in the Revel (especially compared to the Travato)? Seems better, except for the back door but we never took the back door panels off.
      What word is spelled incorrectly in every single dictionary? dickshunary

    If you could combine the best things about the Travato and the Revel,what would they be!?

    • @VANTREKKINGlifestyle
      @VANTREKKINGlifestyle  3 роки тому

      Not sure... other than the perfect van! 😂. The wrap-around windows creates a sense of openness that’s hard to beat and the twin beds are comfy without having to crawl over someone when you have to go to the bathroom in the Travato. So, a 21-foot Travato layout with the beef and 4x4 capability of the Mercedes would be almost perfect. But with the outside table, the quiet a/c... see... it gets to be impossible.
