I don’t understand all the people complaining about the price. It CLEARLY says in the title “Expensive.” You didn’t HAVE to watch the video. There will always be someone with more than you, but also someone else with less. It was supposed to be a video showing off some cool features. And they did just that. Thanks for showing us around😁
Thank you Jennifer and Mike for doing this awesome factory tour. ARV is in a class by itself when it comes to quality and innovation. My favorite is the B Box. Happy and safe travels!
You should consider one of their used RVs for your new ride. I'm sure they would be happy to change the name to MAJOR for you. You deserve it - go for it!
Hi Mike and Jennifer! Thanks for the wonderful tour of ARV. It's hard to find companies these days that focus on building the best quality with amazing customer service. Well done ARV! I would love to see some tours of truck campers. We have a Northstar Arrow U 8.5 on a 1 ton Ram 3500 SRW MegaCab with all the bells and whistles. We really like Class B's and were heading that direction but decided we wanted the 4 wheel drive capability and quiet ride of the truck. We also like having the comfy bed in the cabover and separate dining/work table. Really makes it comfortable for 2. . I was concerned about not having the driving area open to the living quarters....it's actually turned out to be a positive. We have zero regrets on going this direction. You might want to check these out. We went with no slides so we could keep it lighter and go with a SRW. Northstar was great to work and let us customize our truck camper quite a bit. Another family owned company with superb customer service before and after the sell. We are 2 years out and still love the sleek looks of the vans but would buy a truck camper again instead. It's more nimble on forest service roads and hard to beat for boondocking with the 4x4 capability. Total pkg. with air bags and loaded truck was around 100K. Everyone's needs and likes are unique but wanted to put a shout out that this is a great option that I would never have considered if the hubby didn't mention it. Something to consider. Wishing you all the best! Happy travels!
Wow....had no idea something like that was out there. I knew about big Earth Roamers which are stunning too but love the small one too. Thanks for great video.
I would absolutely love to own one of these vans! ARV's quality, luxury, and attention to detail is amazing. Customer satisfaction is alive and well here. Enjoyed this video.
As amazing as the vans that they produce, it’s the team of craftspeople at ARV that makes ARV even more unique and special. They extend their family atmosphere to their clients who immediately become part of the ARV family community.
Love the electric adjustable twin beds, quality cabinetry, galley counter space and customized build! Their customer oriented build outs and attention to detail makes for a good investment that meets the clients needs. Kudos to this family business!
Thank you for doing this tour just stunning. Sadly I'm a disabled Veteran so one of these will never be something I could afford. It's nice to dream though. The look on the new owners face really said it all....Hugs from Kentucky
Hello, Its a good thing your not in the U.P. of Michigan anylonger lol! Last night it hit a low of -47°F in South East Michigan and it's still-31 right now at 9PM on Thursday 1/31/19. I'm 51 and have lived here my entire life and this week has been the coldest I can remember? Thank you for sharing your travels with us 🤗 Take care and safe travels. Michelle 💖
Talking about what 'DREAM MACHINE' really means ! Thank you for sharing, of course, if you can afford one of these, you can afford to rent or buy something to use traveling while waiting for the build.
My wife & I are planning a trip to Cleveland next May (2019) to take a tour and visit with some of the other owners of ADV RV's. You mentioned that you wanted some suggestions on other places to tour? If not already mentioned / requested, how about Coachmen in Northern Indiana or perhaps SportsMobile. We are still in the research and planning stages AND waiting on my wife to retire. Oh and by the way, I just subscribed and also "rang the notification bell." The tour at ADV was very interesting and it makes me all the more interested in the vehicle. Thanks for sharing with us. -- a new subscriber from Indianapolis, Indiana
Factory tour Leisure Travel Vans; especially interested in insulation and roof/wall sealing. I believe the Serenity is one-piece so less chance of leaks.
Hi Mike and Jennifer, Had we known you would like the articulating beds we should have shown them to you four years ago at the Winter Freezeout. :) That is another customer design we brought to Advanced RV or I should say a challenge because at the time they took it on without knowing if it could be achieved. But they did it.
Hi Mike and Jen, Long time subscribers and this was your best video ever. I own a airstream interstate and have admired Mike vans for years. If only I could afford to own a first class custom van that they provide. I have never commented on your video’s but great job on this video.
It's funny, Gary but I called Airstream this week and told them we wanted to do a video tour of the Ohio plant where they make the Interstate... a PR type blew us off and said they were much too busy.
I want an Advanced RV! I am not a pet owner, but the fact they added custom pet crates sold me. I love the customization! While I save up, have you or can you tour Pleasure Way RV?
I recently discovered Advanced RV. Your video was very informative. I'm currently Binge video watching anything and everything about Advanced RV. I am now a new subscriber to your channel. THX
Great video! I've been an admirer of ARV for years and I plan to purchase one when I retire, although I may have to work an extra couple years to afford it.
This was another fantastic video. You guys produce such quality material. Thank you! I would love to see a visit to a Sportsmobile factory and a review of the quality of their builds.
Great tour & info. I just retired and rig shopping now for a used class B plus. I wish Advanced RV would have much lower prices. On a fixed income, I could NEVER afford payments on these beautifully made B's. After raising 4 kids on my own, there is nothing left in the kitty LOL. But all is well. God is goof and I know if I'm patient, I will find something used in my price range. I hope to go full time RVing but this summer. You guys are so cute & so honest. I will like and subscribe. Plz tour a class B plus factory some time. God bless your travelling adventures. Mike & Marsha did good on those builds. God bless them.
Thank you, Maddy. God is good, indeed, all the time. Keep searching and we know you will find what you want. Okay in touring a B+ maker... we will try to do just that so stay tuned!
Fantastic tour of this company, from the quality to the custom work super nice. As well great video work top notch quality channel you folks have. Best of luck i will start saving and when my grandson graduates high school i hope to be on the road.
I know it's hard to believe, but the vans ARV makes are worth that price. They build the highest quality most customizable vans on the market, hand crafted by true artisans.
Worst mistake we made, renting from Advanced RV. ;-) After that it took us nearly a year to "settle" for another brand. The Advanced RVs really are beautiful and functional in a most perfect way. Maybe someday...
Great video, Mike & Jennifer! ARV’s amazing - incredible quality & fantastic technical innovation. A wonderful family business - thanks for spotlighting them!
Their really nice and the layout is a lot better than I expected, and the seem to have more interior space than I thought they would. The price is definitely up there but considering that we are having a class A quad slide built for a bit over 2.436 million the price of these don’t seem so bad LOL. And I’m also sure that if they weren’t worth the investment you two would say so even though you are friends with the manufactures. Great information as usual that’s why I really look forward to watching. Take care you two and safe and happy travels.
They are indeed very, very expensive but like a very expensive house, you can learn a lot about the different features that you can try and adapt to your own home or pocketbook. And the excellence of engineering and the quality of the workmanship is also vary educational and helps us judge the quality we see in other vehicles.
Thanks for another wonderful Lifestyle video. Beautiful and clean ARV Factory! It must be a pleasure to work there. Speaking of pleasure I would also love to see a Pleasure-Way factory tour from your perspective if you ever find your way that far into Canada.
What beautiful & well made RV's . I'm afraid they are way , way out of my price range sorry to say . Thanks Jennifer & Mike for the factory tour . Cheers & Happy Trails . !!
I am yet to see anyone buying RV which could accommodate family of 7 or 9 seaters, perhaps less of storage and more of luggage, but comfort of traveling and sleeping in these huge sprinters. They are made of carrying more then 9 passengers stock. Why can’t you invite your family for traveling across enjoying scenery and playing games. But most class B (no matter how expensive) only accommodate 4. I like versatility of class B and how spacious they are. Even Advanced RV hasn’t received or prototype that sort of van. Huge open windows and entertainment while having benefits of boondocking. I would spend $250k for that once in a lifetime investment. That’s a house payment. But it needs to be well spend. Your investment shouldn’t limit you while being proud of your purchase.
No way José! Too pricey for me. I could spend the $100 to 200 thousand premium for this superfluous van build on dozens of trips to Europe or Asia. If that was my thing. A typical entry level B Van costs $70 thousand. Paying 200 to 350 thousand for a B Van is only a proposition undertaken by the rich or foolhardy. Since I'm working class, no way ...
Everyone as they please. And isn’t spending the money, creating jobs in the country much better than shares on wall street? I would totally get one, if possible.
Interesting video. They do beautiful work. It would probably be wise to own and use a production van for a while before laying out that kind of money on a custom build. That would increase the odds of getting a design that best meets the needs. Do you know how a custom vans like these hold up in resale value compared to a normal production van such as a Roadtrek or Pleasure-Way? Better, worse, or the same? Yes, keep the tours coming. If possible, spend some time on how they do the mechanical systems - electrical, plumbing, and cooling and heating.
When you get to TALK to the BOSS of the company that says a LOT about their ethics. If I could afford 1 of these beautiful RVs I'd ditch living in 1 place all the time and LIVE LIFE like its meant to be LIVED. In the UK the ONLY drawback living full-time off grid is you cannot vote (don't anyway) and you can't get an NHS FREE DOCTOR (private doctors best anyway) so would be WIN WIN SCOOBS UK.
I don’t understand all the people complaining about the price. It CLEARLY says in the title “Expensive.” You didn’t HAVE to watch the video. There will always be someone with more than you, but also someone else with less. It was supposed to be a video showing off some cool features. And they did just that. Thanks for showing us around😁
People that want nice things but can't afford them and have convince themselves otherwise simple as that
It was a pleasure to meet with Mike and Jennifer at the ARV factory. I loved sharing our new ARV motorhome. Well done video.
Thank you Jennifer and Mike for doing this awesome factory tour. ARV is in a class by itself when it comes to quality and innovation. My favorite is the B Box. Happy and safe travels!
Thanks for visiting, Mike and Jennifer! We enjoyed showing you around. Can't wait to see what your channel has in store.
We so enjoyed the visit!
we really like the custom book, gifted at the end, nice touch!
I've been full time in my ARV for 4 years. Still a quiet ride, still luxurious, and still the best purchase I've ever made.
Great story! We love advanced RV in fact, we offer discounts at our shop for any advanced RV Class B that stops by to say hi!
You should consider one of their used RVs for your new ride. I'm sure they would be happy to change the name to MAJOR for you. You deserve it - go for it!
I just priced one that caught our eye. A used one is listed at $277,000 - GULP!
BO needs to get a paper route to help you guys out!
Pleasr visit and or review the Renagade RV factory. They appear to build above average, but still afordable class B vans.
The message bed after a long day of hiking or bike riding or roaming around-wow! Makes everything worthwhile! Love it! I want one.
Wow this makes me proud. America is great
Thanks so much for the tour of ARV. They are amazing! I hope you guys are coming back for the May Fest.

Fantastic! I would like to see Pleasure Way factory. Thanks.
Me too!
I agree. Thank you!
As a very happy 2018 PleasureWay Ascent owner, which I’ve customized in many small ways, I’d like to see a tour of the PW factory, too.
Me too!
Yes, a PW tour soon please.
Wow! just Wow! Thanks for sharing M & J!
What a great tour! Keep up the good work.
oh, my. What amazing floor plans and options. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow....had no idea something like that was out there. I knew about big Earth Roamers which are stunning too but love the small one too. Thanks for great video.
I wish you would have shown the bathroom to see if it was more accommodating than most class B’s
They make them as big or small as you'd like. No two are the same.
I would absolutely love to own one of these vans! ARV's quality, luxury, and attention to detail is amazing. Customer satisfaction is alive and well here. Enjoyed this video.
The ecstatic customer picking up his new beautiful RV convinced me this is an excellent company to work with.
An Advanced RV is a goal of mine.... Probably used!
Why would you want something that was custom designed for somebody else?
As ever great video and yes yes More Factory Tours - they are interesting and you produce them so well.
As amazing as the vans that they produce, it’s the team of craftspeople at ARV that makes ARV even more unique and special. They extend their family atmosphere to their clients who immediately become part of the ARV family community.
Thank you very much for the kind words!
Guys i love your passion for campers
Nice RVs to have, if you have the resources!
Another factory to see would be the Earth Roamer factory in Bend, Oregon.
Earthroamer is in Dacono Colorado. You're thinking of Earthcruiser. Of the two, my vote would be Earthroamer.
Okay, I stand corrected. I would like to see both actually.
Please.
love you guys. For us simple folk and for telling it as is. Cheers.
Love the electric adjustable twin beds, quality cabinetry, galley counter space and customized build! Their customer oriented build outs and attention to detail makes for a good investment that meets the clients needs. Kudos to this family business!
Great reporting guys, no fake news here. Superb van, eh?
R/V campers for rich people and jobs for regular people that's a good tradeoff everyone wins...
Thank you for doing this tour just stunning. Sadly I'm a disabled Veteran so one of these will never be something I could afford. It's nice to dream though. The look on the new owners face really said it all....Hugs from Kentucky
WOW - very informative and FUN‼️ Really enjoyed the customer who knew how to wait for his new drive. And those massage beds - who knew?!
Would love to see you visit/tour Leisure Travel Vans.
Leisure Travelin' Lockes we all like Dean
Yes I would love ❤️ a tour of LTV!
Stay tuned!
Luxury defined!
Hello, Its a good thing your not in the U.P. of Michigan anylonger lol! Last night it hit a low of -47°F in South East Michigan and it's still-31 right now at 9PM on Thursday 1/31/19.

Great video guys!
Mike & Jen, you guys did an excellent job. Thanks for the in-depth tour.
I had a great time. Very fun video. You can't really put a price on love. Keep up the excellent work Advanced RV.
Great video!! Thank you !
Interesting - would like to have seen the bathrooms. Thank you.
You have to do some amazing mental gymnastics to justify a $250k camper van.
rich old people do not care
Not if you have the money. 👏 😊
Wow! That was an amazing tour! If you have the funds, I can't see going anywhere else for a Class B.
Like I've said before. ADVANCED RV is THE GOLD STANDARD
Please tour Sportsmobile Texas
Hi Mike and Jen,
Long time subscribers and this was your best video ever. I own a airstream interstate and have admired Mike vans for years. If only I could afford to own a first class custom van that they provide. I have never commented on your video’s but great job on this video.
It's funny, Gary but I called Airstream this week and told them we wanted to do a video tour of the Ohio plant where they make the Interstate... a PR type blew us off and said they were much too busy.
RV Lifestyle I think Airstream has a no filming rule at there plant but you may get a invitation after they see this video. 🙂
I loved the twin beds with all the controls. Perfect!
This is a great segment, hope you get to visit more factory and pls
Show us more of the build they have. Thanks ❤️
I want an Advanced RV! I am not a pet owner, but the fact they added custom pet crates sold me. I love the customization!
While I save up, have you or can you tour Pleasure Way RV?
Absolutely fantastic! #advanceRV shows as the best class B! Thanks for the info video! The beefed-up suspension and 3M insulation make so much sense!
Congrats on a really nice 'produced' video... a big upgrade from the old 'hand-held' stuff! Keep up the good work!
I recently discovered Advanced RV. Your video was very informative. I'm currently Binge video watching anything and everything about Advanced RV. I am now a new subscriber to your channel. THX
Wow, So your first* factory tour is the best. A platinum standard for more tours to come... Thanks! *This is A.R. and your name change.
This was really cool. I love Pleasure Way and liked this tour a lot. thank you.
Please tour Coach House and LTV!
Thank You how Beautiful these are. This was such a lovely tour.
You do a great job doing vedios
I would love to see Mike and Jennifer visit OSV out in Oregon, yes !!!!
Great video! I've been an admirer of ARV for years and I plan to purchase one when I retire, although I may have to work an extra couple years to afford it.
It would be nice to have a Renagade RV factory tour . I hear they build great Rv’s
This was another fantastic video. You guys produce such quality material. Thank you! I would love to see a visit to a Sportsmobile factory and a review of the quality of their builds.

I’ve never heard that the roads are bumping here in the winter time. Strange
With that kind of waiting time, this company needs to seriously consider ramping up.
Fantastic tour of this company, from the quality to the custom work super nice. As well great video work top notch quality channel you folks have. Best of luck i will start saving and when my grandson graduates high school i hope to be on the road.
Please visit a well built, but more affordable class B factory. I loved this tour, but could never afford 250,000. Yikes!
D P Yeah, for that price they should include a device that converts the blank tank contents to diesel fuel. 😁
I know it's hard to believe, but the vans ARV makes are worth that price. They build the highest quality most customizable vans on the market, hand crafted by true artisans.
$250 , 000 Yikes ! You got to be rich to buy it my goodness .
Bob Shaw or buy it instead of a house. Many people are.
William Crowley Better yet, you don’t need to pay hefty property tax that is rising every year.
Worst mistake we made, renting from Advanced RV. ;-) After that it took us nearly a year to "settle" for another brand. The Advanced RVs really are beautiful and functional in a most perfect way. Maybe someday...
I can understand how it would be a huge let down to “have” to buy another brand, that’s why I would never waste my time or money renting theirs.
Great video, Mike & Jennifer! ARV’s amazing - incredible quality & fantastic technical innovation. A wonderful family business - thanks for spotlighting them!
Their really nice and the layout is a lot better than I expected, and the seem to have more interior space than I thought they would.

Absolutely beautiful and amazing vans.
Really beautiful but 250K - 350K that's a no for me. I think of it as sort of the Prevost of the class B's. For wealthy, money is no object people.
Thanks for another wonderful Lifestyle video. Beautiful and clean ARV Factory! It must be a pleasure to work there. Speaking of pleasure I would also love to see a Pleasure-Way factory tour from your perspective if you ever find your way that far into Canada.
Wow! But, but... 😥😭I need a quarter of a million dollars.
I really hope the owners enjoy those travel homes.
Y’all are cool I wish y’all were my grandma and grandpa
What beautiful & well made RV's . I'm afraid they are way , way out of my price range sorry to say . Thanks Jennifer & Mike for the factory tour . Cheers & Happy Trails . !!
Thanks for the great and well done tour. How about a tour of Sunseeker?
Nice tour. Thanks
Airstream has automatic blinds
Mike and Jennifer, very nice to see u at ARV. Have you seen George?
I am yet to see anyone buying RV which could accommodate family of 7 or 9 seaters, perhaps less of storage and more of luggage, but comfort of traveling and sleeping in these huge sprinters. They are made of carrying more then 9 passengers stock. Why can’t you invite your family for traveling across enjoying scenery and playing games. But most class B (no matter how expensive) only accommodate 4. I like versatility of class B and how spacious they are. Even Advanced RV hasn’t received or prototype that sort of van. Huge open windows and entertainment while having benefits of boondocking. I would spend $250k for that once in a lifetime investment. That’s a house payment. But it needs to be well spend. Your investment shouldn’t limit you while being proud of your purchase.
Hi Mike & Jennifer
Do you honestly think an Advanced RV is worth more than $150,000 than your Roadtrek CS Adventurous XL?
I do :-)
No question about it. Side by side, no comparison. I've done it...
There is no comparison. ARV is hands down better. Better engineering, better systems, better construction.
No way,.It's nicer, no argument there but not double the price. IMO
No way José! Too pricey for me. I could spend the $100 to 200 thousand premium for this superfluous van build on dozens of trips to Europe or Asia. If that was my thing. A typical entry level B Van costs $70 thousand. Paying 200 to 350 thousand for a B Van is only a proposition undertaken by the rich or foolhardy. Since I'm working class, no way ...
My bones aren't brittle. A regular B Van or B Plus works for me. Growing up poor, I know pretence when I see it.
Agree@@JMMGarza
Everyone as they please.
And isn’t spending the money, creating jobs in the country much better than shares on wall street?
I would totally get one, if possible.
I want to see leaisure travel class b van tour. It's also seem to be well insulated quality rv
Interesting video. They do beautiful work.
It would probably be wise to own and use a production van for a while before laying out that kind of money on a custom build. That would increase the odds of getting a design that best meets the needs.
Do you know how a custom vans like these hold up in resale value compared to a normal production van such as a Roadtrek or Pleasure-Way? Better, worse, or the same?
Yes, keep the tours coming. If possible, spend some time on how they do the mechanical systems - electrical, plumbing, and cooling and heating.
Naming of the van and the coffee table book costs an extra $50K
Very nice video!
Airstream atlas factory tour plese
That wood looks like its from the 70s
Nice one! Please send me one to Spain!
Go to Colorado and check out EarthRoamer!!
What does MB think about their suspension being changed?
I would like a factory tour of Midwest Automotive Design, Elkhart, Indiana
Hello. Did you do a full review and tour of Leisure Travel Van Unity FX? Can you give the link please? :)
When you get to TALK to the BOSS of the company that says a LOT about their ethics. If I could afford 1 of these beautiful RVs I'd ditch living in 1 place all the time and LIVE LIFE like its meant to be LIVED. In the UK the ONLY drawback living full-time off grid is you cannot vote (don't anyway) and you can't get an NHS FREE DOCTOR (private doctors best anyway) so would be WIN WIN SCOOBS UK.
Didn't sound quiet on that test drive at all!
What is the make and model for the air conditioning?
