One of the nicest features of the lithium system is that you can run the AC at night stealthily. Huge plus.
“I know that 4 inches doesn’t sound like a lot, but let me assure you it’s HUGE”
I bought this van on this advice alone.
We're so glad you decided to join the Winnebago family!
Excellent tour and great information! VERY well done! Kudos to you, young man!
So many Negative comments. WOW, I LOVE the improvements. Moving the info panel over the door is clever, I love the aluminum framed bed. I love the new sink, and on the GL, I love the electric stove, you get free electricity from nature, I am not a gourmet chef! I need it to heat/cook things.
The water controls inside is a great improvement.
The missing extra bed? You are kidding right? This is for 1 or 2 people, not a family. You have other Winnebagos for that,
My dream is to save enough to live out of the van full time, travel America, hopefully with a yet to be found lady, and with my awesome Fox Terrier Fletcher. If I had the money, I would do it TOMORROW!
Thanks for the tour, well done.
Excellent presentation, thank you and Merry Christmas !
Not sure why I watched this entire video. It just popped up out of nowhere. I’m glad it did. Beautiful Van and I actually like all the amenities.
Something tells me Mr. Stokes really enjoys snowboarding and surfing. :-) Smart man using it on film sets. He can write some of it off as a business expense. Thanks for the walkthrough of the changes, good sir. Can't wait to see more of your TV and film work in the future.
I've got a 2021 Travato 59GL on order for delivery in February. Not really seeing anything here for me since I *need* a dedicated booth "office" area with a large table surface for IT and electronics work once I go full-time in it.
Was already planning to replace the horrid default chassis stereo head unit with a better one with Garmin RV maps in it anyway and it too uses an ODB-II adapter kit to get the same info. Methinks it's the same exact radio this new upgrade has. The changes to the murphy bed look sweet though.
It's nice to see Winnebago continuing to innovate. The new European-style wet bath in the Ekko is *awesome* and should be in every future wet bath model. I've used them before when I was living in Germany and renting out Class Bs for various vacation trips with the frauline at the time. I hope that style makes it down into Winnie's future Class B models.
I was going to make a joke and say that is a step...but it really is! Great Job on the Video
Best van tour I’ve seen so far, and I watch a lot of these. I’d like to see more tours from him!
I agree
Wow! A great van tour. Complete and concise in every way.
I totally agree.
Agree... He's informative without being like a salesman.
Excellent tour of the new 59GL
Loved this video.
Amazing tutorial !!! Very informative and well presented.
Glad you liked it!
I was considering a Revel, but I love the much more spacious layout and warm interior of the Trevato. It also seems to have all wheel or 4 wheel drive capability, so I could just put a lift suspension on it to raise it up for tougher terrain if I wanted.
been trying to talk my wife into the 59gl. My main selling point was the dinette/bed!! Guess I can scratch this one off now. Dadgummit Winnebago!! Whose bright idea was that!
well hey you can now bring 2 people along with the extra seatbelts that have no place to sleep or eat :)
@@khunsateeb haha! Exactly! 😂
That was a good walk-through. Thank you.
you missed the awning which was upgraded to a mesh material to let wind pass threw (when it rains it pours) so happy govt. made marijuana legal during the design process
This unit certainly has a nice fit and finish as well as some new innovations. And it has a lengthwise bed that appears to be accommodate tall sleepers. However, once again we have seating for four in a vehicle that sleeps only two. For the many singles and couples who travel, the extra two chairs are taking up space could be used to expand the kitchen or install a larger refrigerator.
Thank you for your feedback!
Yes those two chairs are one of the reasons I can't pull the trigger on buying this model, The 59 KL has a better layout but you have that small fridge, grrr!!
Great video. And great job of explaining all the features. Where do you store your board and how long is your board?
this guy has never snowboarded a day in his life
I was also prepared to be envious of the new model. I just bought a new 2020 59GL last summer. While I like the kitchen sink, gravity drain shower (no separate pump and filter), and the display cluster, losing the nice big table and the puzzle bed are deal breakers for me. My wife's sleeps in the puzzle bed with an extra foam cushion. The big table is great to work on and you can fit 5 people around it. And, having to leave the door open to be hooked up is a horrible idea. Marcus did a nice review but I was waiting for him to come back to the table.
"having to leave the door open to be hooked up is a horrible idea" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great job. very informative.
I love it..
I've got a 2020 GL. Was really nervous to watch this video. Whooooo, didn't buy too soon at all. My value actually may have gone up!
Very good rapport!
Well those are some great upgrades in 2022 (sarcasm).....i can strike the Travato off my list now...... way to go Winnebago
Great presentation Marcus, but yes with these 2022 "upgrades" Winnebago just made it much easier for me to choose the Coachmen Nova or Pleasure Way!
@@richdv6800 The Pleasure Way doesn't have a lithium battery system. You can "cut the cord" with this one and forget having to find campgrounds with hookups as it'll run your electric almost entirely on battery power. For people who like to boondock for days at a time this beats out the Pleasure Way. The Nova is a worthy competitor though as they offer a lithium system as well.
@@MikeRogers483 Pretty sure the Pleasure Way has a mediocre 200Ah lithium option, but yes the Travato volta system is a winner!
@@richdv6800 Yup, you're right I forgot the Pleasure Way had that option. So many great choices of Class B's right now!
@@MikeRogers483 Coachmen Beyond with Li3 (lithium option) also a great option!
Biggest thing I hope the upgrade for next year is larger water tanks. While the electricity is fantastic, you can't boondock for long without needing to fill and dump the water.
There is never such thing as too much water.
Very helpful, well done!
Excellent usefull detailed review. Nice job
The bed seems more more comfortable. This van has everything for a comfortable living.
I hope this comment reaches Winnebago engineering. I have a few suggestions to make the Travato more appealing. 1) raise the roof like on the Regency American Traveler. 2) eliminate the propane tank and instead have a gasoline assist for the Truma heating from the gas tank. 3) Increase the tank sizes owing to the extra cabinet capacity because of the added interior height. 4) Have adjustable air shocks that can also be used for leveling. 5) Hinge freezer door at bottom so it's more easily accessible. 6) Offer tinted side cab windows and a brush guard as options. Thanks for hearing me out. I hope this helps.
Thank you for reaching out and the suggestions John. We will send this over to our team!
John just added at least 50k to the cost lol
Do we have to keep the rear doors open when using the Rear Water Access center? Or is there a way to have attachments connected with the doors closed?
What an excellent video..
Glad you enjoyed it!
Need more RVs that are under 20 feet! 🙏
Excellent review!
Glad you liked it!
I don’t own a van as yet however I fell in love with the Travato 59GL because of the layout and capability to carry 4 seat belt passengers and sleep 4. However the fact it was changed and unable to sleep 4, I will now have to seek another option for my van purchase. The screen and other upgrades are great but in my opinion it makes no sense being able to carry 4 passengers but only sleep 2. The van life community who was looking for that additional sleeping capacity have been left out. It’s an open an airy floor plan but the fact that it had the stationary work area is what I liked the most vs having to keep converting the work space and table area. The older models can actually have table space for 4 working or eating passengers comfortably. The lagoon style table is way too small. I’m so disappointed that I have now started looking at other companies for a newer model class B that can sleep 4 and seat 4 for dinner all at the same time.
If a newer model with another company is not found, then I will have to consider getting an older Travato 5gl model, but unfortunately some of the upgrades would be needed 😢😢. According to another comment the person said that the older models have now gone up in value. So true. Great job Marcus but Winnebago missed the mark for me as a newbie
You can still seat and sleep four with the Cabbunk Twin childbed system in the cab.
Is that something that you would have to store someplace, until ready to use? If so, just another headache. 😫
Hi, no, it rolls up really small. You wouldn't know you have it. Not like the regular rv beds with big cushions etc.
GreatcTour !
great review...I want one
Go for it!
So glad I purchased a 2021 Travato recently. A lot of the finishes look less refined and lost the bed and booth seating :/
Awesome! Great improvement"!👍..Is the front seats can be transformed into a another bed??
How do you keep a water hose attached to the vehicle when in a campground if the water connection is inside the van?
I am a little confused, how do you connect to city water if the connectors on inside and requires the door to be open?
So you have to run the water hose through your back door to run city water?
Thanks for the review. Would you please touch on a few points that I don’t recall you mentioning. Do the front seats turn around into the living quarters? Stats regarding mpg, gas or diesel, engine size, solar equipped?
Is the fridge dual functional ie propane & electric and does it have a freezer section? Size of fresh water holding tank as well as black & grey tanks? Overall cost for unit with these items included? 🤷🏻♀️
I’ll try a couple of these questions, but I’m no expert. I assume that the seats in the 2022 will be the same as the ones in our 2020.5 G. So they should turn around and face in. And it looks like the same fridge, which is just DC. The solar panels keep the batteries charged and I am told by people who know more than I do that it’s more efficient and less problematic than having a three-way or a two way. The engineers is a six cylinder gasoline - you can look up the specs for a Ram Promaster 3500. Gas mileage should be in the 15 to 20 range (depending on how much you’re hauling, terrain, speed, etc). For the price you can go over to the Winnebago website to get. Not cheap with the lithium. That’s why we ended up getting the basic G, although I now regret that and wish we had shelled out the extra money for the GL. Hope this answers a few of your questions. We bought ours just before lock down, so we haven’t had a chance to use it as much as we’d planned in the past 10 months.
Thank you for the review. Have a blessed day.
That is my future Van, I love it , I would like to make it 4x4 and it is going to win
Thanks 4 gr8t review, luv the 22 59g. if they could only get rid of the propane, or maybe just have a small refillable removable tank. Else this is sweet.
Wonder if they improved the foam in the seats? Blind spot monitoring etc?
Good review on the changes from prior years. Assume the roof and window sealing product hasn't improved?
I love it ... thank you for the walk through! 👏👍
Check out zipper bedding for the bed. There are several that make them. Great for RV’s / Van life.
Love this! Give us a pop-top option on travato, I would have had one yesterday. I’m sure there are weight and roof real estate issues as to why there’s not a pop top, but one can dream.
Hello I did not see nor hear you speak about the TV and how to make it work. Are there any video on it.
Thanks
great tour! And wow, what great upgrades Winnebago has made to this coach. Thank you!
Just curious, if you were camping with full hookups in this new travato with the city water hookup located inside the van would you have to always have the doors open? Or is there a way to close the rear doors and maintain a city water connection. Thanks.
Yes, the design intent is to use the water pump. Having the system inside eliminates a potential freeze point. It’s one less opening in the side of the van to worry about sealing, leaking, or corroding. Leaving the city water connected can be problematic if there’s a leak.
I want this layout with the Solaris pop top for my two children.
If you can afford it - GRECH Strada-Ion is by far the best Class-B made. My 2022 is awesome and we’re spoiled by it big time. Makes RVing so easy. (Not paid to say this, I’m so glad no generator)
Nice 🚗... waiting for other video...greeting from bali chanel❤️
More to come!
Did you have covers on the back window? It looked very dark there. I'm assuming they were on there because of the sun outside it was too bright?
Love the new design! This one is definately on my list now
So wait! Can’t hook up water to use direct? Only to fill the tank? And when it’s cold, you have to open the back door to fill?
Same question I have
Seems kind of stupid to me to
I agreed with the “why do something that keeps us having to open the back door to put water in the tank.” Then I realized that we live off the tank and not the hose. Given it’s a B class and that limits the fact one door will have to be opened to even get in and out. While I was winterizing my GL, I realized how nice it would be to have all the “by passes” in one location. Right now I have to get under the bench seat to bypass the water heater, then the two near the floor at the slider door.
I would rather see them replace the slide door that loses all the heat or cold air. I know that’s probably not happening so I’ll take the single location for water and winterizing. LOL!
With the inlets inside there a less chance your water will freeze and also you don’t have to worry about some crazy nut tampering with them...
@@MusicOfMelodyK so true! We actually did have that happen more than once. And at another place, we left the water to the vehicle on, low, but it still broke and leaked. The park management turned the water off and left us a kind note, but still an embarrassment. The more we look at the 2022, the more we love it. More cells in the Lithium, a new space up front where the water tank, then the inverters were, the single spot of water works, and the “pump-less” shower drain make it a dream machine “B”! The lighter bed is a bonus!
Is the toilette a cassette toilette? If not how many gallons does it hold?
Like the new rear bath layout /- quick question though. To use city water you need to leave your door open?? Isn’t that both a security concern and a waste of power to run the AC or heat pending time of year!?
Great tour! I'd like to know the fuel capacity and the mileage do you get? I know that it uses a lot but I'm still curious about it. Thanks.
I see that there are additional passenger seats for kids but is there additional area for them to sleep?
Nice presentation.
Glad you liked it!
Nice
how is the city water hooked up with the door closed?
Lagoon table are looks super tight for two people. Wished you would've sat there to give a better idea or explained in more detail. Great video and love the bed.
Excellent presentation! Obviously believes in product. This could be made as a B+
Thank you!
No bench seat no second bed ,that aluminum frame is so classy. Guess I can find a 2021. I do like the electric stove.
It looks great you did a great job. Can't wait to see it in person. 🇺🇸
Its now just like every other B van out there...sleeps only two......loss of cargo space....might as well buy a K or one of the other wanna be's...huge step backwards
Great Tour Sir.
Time for Winnebago to use the Taller Ford Transit for the Travato.
I would reverse the Fridge with the Microwave. Sucks to get on your knees to get Lettuce out and you don’t use the Microwave as much as the Fridge. Bed Location. Grade F. I would not want my Head to be separated from a Pooping person by Inches Toilet in the Bathroom. That’s a Romance Killer. The Coachmen Beyond D is the Winner so far Head to Head. Grade C+. The Electrical System in this will make the MSRP above $135.000. I’d build a Custom Van for this Price.
There are some good ideas for creating a camper van in this Winagbego, but it is still extremely crowded and not open enough for me.
I trust you !
This would be the percent platform class B in the US... IF!!! 1- was on a Ford Transit 4WD or4x4...2- If it had a Cassette toilet, 3- Cummins gas generator as a back up. I hope that in 2023 they will make these up dates. looking forward to it.
If anyone likes the old G front bed space, take a look at Panoramic RV. Pretty similar and quality looks top notch.
You have to open the door to access the services station? Gonna suck in winter.
So the back door has to be open for city water connection?
I love the changes, especially moving that water tank/ottoman out of the doorway. Oh, and no shower pump! Awesome.
Glad you like it!
I'm left with a few questions: Does it have a freezer? Does it come with sumo springs? Has the National Park edition been discontinued for 2022? And as far as a fully electric 4x4 ProMaster, I know that's aeons away, but it's nice to dream, ain't it?
I love everything about this unit, but is there a model with AWD or 4x4??
I liked your presentation of the 2022 model but, I like the older ones better. More seating, better layout and twin beds. Im still looking and think ill try an find an older model that's been lightly used. Thanks.
The K models are the ones with the two beds; this is a different floorplan.
@@skinnysurvivor103 The GL also had two beds: the Murphy bed and the puzzle bed.
Is it diesel or gas..if diesel, whose engine and what does this vehicle cost? Four wheel drive?
Gotta say that the vast majority of changes went in the wrong direction for me:
- loss of storage space
- loss of extra seat
- weird (and seriously uncomfortable looing) car seat bench instead a comfortable expansive bench
- wobbly table that can't be used for both driver and passenger seats to create a shared experience
- how does someone use city water without having to leave the back door open the whole time?!?
Agreed. THEY TOTALLY RUINED THE TRAVATO. Was hoping for more minor changes incorporating some of the NPF features like the 4th power core, off road wheels. All we got was the RUG.
@@MM-fe9mz YES! National Parks Edition was my absolute FAV Travato! I was hoping they would go more in that direction, as well.
you can order the 4th core as an option now.... would be nice be able to order KO2s
I think it would an interesting mod project to have an ottoman with storage and fold out / add piece front bed feature.. I think something pretty nice could be made to fill that gap
Is it me or are most people's home builds better than mass produced class B's
Well those self build vans are not safe for a 60m/h collision,
Also not good for resale value.
good
Other then the new bed design, inside water controls, the induction cooktop and sink along with the new information center in the cab and the gravity drain in the shower there is not really anything else that I would want from my current 2017.5 Travato. They missed on the removal of the other sleeping area big time (thats where the dog sleeps). IMHO.They turned it into a two person coach unless they eventually add in the pop top which I wouldn't want. I hate canvas exterior walls. It would have been nice to know with all the insulation they added what the ratings were for the floor, walls and ceiling.
I take back the inside water controls...city water is also in there and the only way you can connect is leaving the back doors open....bad idea IMHO
@@oldhickory2064 Exactly, the water hook up makes no sense.
What a helpful video - thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Well done Marcus, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Really good tour! Great info.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is there a hookup for water when at a campground? With the water inside the back door it seems not to have that. That would be a deal breaker for me. Many times I will want to stay at a campground and have sewer, water and shore power.
I have the same question @Winnebago RVs. I am so close to ordering one of these vans, and will be travelling solo. I will have to unhook my water when I leave my vehicle, or at night to lock up/sleep unless I'm missing something? It is a deal-breaker for me too.
Excellent commentary -- i'm sold :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
when are we going to do a recirculating shower since you did some upgrades? / guess I am still visiting truck stops
Seems pretty challenging, expensive, and lot of maintenance in such a small B van. Shower goes into gray tank which is shared with your sink, so you'd have to either separate it into it's own tank (and have another to take up space) or have a system that is good enough to filter out the food particles, soap, etc. AND be small enough to fit somewhere on the van - doubtful there is something reasonably priced and small enough yet. Even if there was, you'd have to deal with cleaning that filter quite often. For this type of van you should be doing military showers anyway, quick and using little water; if you want to enjoy a long hot shower, a small B van might not be for you
@@skinnysurvivor103 thank you that makes sense
@@skinnysurvivor103 It's definitely possible on a custom conversion but there would need to be 2 water systems.
I wished you would have mentioned the solar and the tanks. How much solar can you put on it? How much can the water, grey water, and black tanks hold? Also are the windows double pane? I have always loved the Trovato G/GL. I wish winnebago would put a nice big refrigerator like the one in the Travato G in all of their class B vans!! That’s a huge selling point. Thanks for sharing the new GL.
Hi Tracy, we recommend checking out full specifications at the Travato page here:
www.winnebago.com/models/product/motorhomes/camper-van/travato
Thx Marcus. Wheres the new version of 'couch mode'? lol....cheers.
I hit Like because I played a drinking game - took a shot every time he says "um". I'e va bitl drnk. ;-)
Marcus makes Bryant Gumble sound like Malcolm X.-Paul Mooney
im in love with this van
Great vid!
No, I will have to get an older one. The booth seating that makes another bed was appealing. Loss of that bench for the podium negates that.
The sink was the upgrade I liked best but still missed by not have a pull out head to direct spray. No Jensen and removal of outside speakers were the only other pluses for me.
the changes makes it much easily to put in the faucet / sprayer combo you really want -- would good to have fitted wooden cutting board /sick cover
I keep waiting for the flip-up extension to be shown for extra counter space. They never show it. 😒
