    I have this wood color in my Vilano and after two years, we still love it. It's a high end solid wood product that's very durable. I'm a big fan of seeing the wood grain and not painting over it or obscuring it with dark stain. To each, his own! Also, we couldn't be happier with our VanLeigh Product!

    Really nice rig JD. The mixed colors are a smidgen odd but I could live with it. Great storage but the bathroom stool looks a little cramped.
    Absolutely love where the water pump is located! My experience with pump replacements is the things are either in the bottom of a cabinet or buried behind a panel amongst a nightmare of plumbing/wiring. Usually requires emptying the cabinet or unloading the storage area and removing 40-50 fasteners to access it. Really nice feature.

    I prefer the lighter wood color. It is more traditional, but lighter colors make spaces seem larger. Plus the added benefit of not requiring tremendous amounts of lightning to make the interior well lit at night. Our older travel trailer has lighter colored cabinetry throughout and we love it. The lighter colors seem to be making a comeback in a lot of RVs.

    • @Erin-Thor
      @Erin-Thor 3 роки тому

      IMHO you either pay up front for quality, or later in repairs. The little things like walking and padding (carpet) on the rear storage areas, which helps with sound deadening. Other similar designs with different brands, that’s all open with exposed aluminum studs with sharp edges. Seems like nothing until you have a hand cut or something like a large table umbrella get cut up while driving. If the new price seems high, buy used. I would MUCH rather have a quality unit a few years old than cheaper new unit. 😎

    Would love to have our entertainment unit below TV.
    Only thing we are dealing with is the furniture, ours is pealing, wish VanLeigh could help us out upgrading to Franklin Furniture. We live in ours full-time. The theater seating has never been usable. Otherwise, we love it.
    Soft ceiling, three air conditioners.
    Samsung fridge which has a few issues. We are retired and with inflation, we're really in a bind.
    I have to sleep elevated and am waiting for the day we can replace the theater seating. VanLeigh has been very helpful with "everyday" issues that pop up. We've had some but VL has always been helpful.

    While I love the color of the wood, it doesn’t go with anything else in the RV. It doesn’t blend with the floor, the furniture or the linen colored walls. It seems like they couldn’t decide or it was the leftovers from other jobs. I would like the eat at counter in the kitchen if it is table height, not if it requires the higher bar or bistro stools.

    • @genesishep
      @genesishep 3 роки тому +1

      Completely disagree with how a stain shade can date anything. Literally all stain tones have been around forever and so many other factors determine a period of time more than golden or honey tones in woodwork. It's not the color that dates a decor as much as the style of woodwork and cabinet hardware used that do this more than anything else. Taste is subjective which is why manufacturers provide options and that's a good thing. I'm certain this model is offered in a multitude of interior finishes.

    • @Erin-Thor
      @Erin-Thor 3 роки тому

      LOL! All y’all are so cold! While kinda true, they offer decor changes or choices usually with every line. I don’t like the grey cabinetry that seems to be the current style, while I’d prefer a darker stain, or even a redwood-ish color over this honey-gold (wife says honey-old) stain, this looks better than grey. LOL!

    @genesishep 3 роки тому

    No love for the honey/golden tone woodwork?! 🤣😂 Coming from a state where that's a pretty common wood tone in our victorians I have always loved it. It's a perfect example of how individual tastes differ so manufacturers really need to have options and allow for individual customisations.
    I also really like dark wood tones, and since each shade of stain creates a different atmosphere that sets the entire mood of a home it shows how important a role wood tones play (unless you plan to invest the time, labor and money involved to change it down the line) in your overall purchasing decision. That honey/golden tone does come across as more traditional, I agree, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. For me, it would give me a sense of nostalgia for my home when I'm traveling on the road. Depending on how you feel about home that might be a bad thing, for me it's the opposite.
    Thank you for showing another model of Vanleigh, I appreciate it. Beautiful unit.

    • @Yukikazehalo
      @Yukikazehalo 3 роки тому +2

      I think there is a geographic element to it, here in the Pacific Northwest homes with warm wood tones like that represent high quality traditional craftsmanship with local materials like Douglas Fir while neutral white and grey tones are for soulless, sterile "modern" mass produced houses.
      The Beacon models with this stain color look stunning, they also make darker wood tones but they are just so depressing and make me feel claustrophobic.

    The wood color is great... Natural wood color never goes out of style, ebony and white are always dated...

    Not a fan of the wood trims, either fully dark or fully light. This is a bad in between.

    That’s a nice rig. A bit expensive for a 2015 year but still nice

    Another well done video. Such a nice unit. Not a fan of the orange/yellow colored wood.
