It makes sense but I never knew different countries varied so much in what is allowed before a cdl. In the states, we allow 13 tons on a regular license, and no limit if the vehicle is registered as an rv. However, some states are stricter, and require a cdl based on length or weight of the rv, and some offer a half step called an rv-endorsment that allows any rv over 260000 lbs, or any rv that is towing a trailer and the combined weight is over 26k, or any pickup truck towing a fifth wheel and then a trailer behind that. Rv endorsement’s are generally pretty easy to get, sometimes just a physical required. Much simpler then a cdl
Great RV, I especially liked the extra fridge, sink etc outside - like a good flybridge!! If you can drive that on a car licence, I’m not sure you should be able to!! Some drivers are scary enough in a Ford KA!! 🤣
Hi Nick. A lovely motorhome. Bright and welcoming interior. Mini coach look with plenty of luxury, space and facilities. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊
Nice "rolling home," Nick. Thanks for sharing. Just FYI, I live in namesake Winnebago County Wisconsin, though these are built in Iowa. Close enough, it borders us :). Cheers!
I love how informative this guy is ie telling us if you need an upgraded driving license etc. Again yes the isn't cheap however saying that you get quite a bit of technical stuff, space, layout and also I feel a really good build for the money. Also it's these types of vehicles cos of the above (along with the other stuff included in this RV) which makes me feel like you could live permanently in one of these plus your also able to have guests stay over if you like. So win win another in my opinion great build and good price point for all you get 👍 Lisa UK
It depends on when you passed your car license. If you passed your test before jan 1 1997 you can drive a vehicle up to 7.5 tonnes, any date after that you need to sit a C1 for anything over 3.5 tonnes. One further point is a pre 97 license allows you to tow a trailer as long as the total mass is less than 8250kg.
Another great video Nick, thank you.👍 Really like the interior of this one, looks a wee bit more modern than some of the others we have seen on the channel. Although still quite large, it seems ideal for going round the UK, or even Europe. The only downside (and this just my opinion) because the walls are a very light colour it just reminds me of a cheap caravan from years ago, it just makes me think the walls are very thin (although I am aware that their not). Apart from that, I would love to take it round the country in the summer. 🌅🌄🌇 🌞
That was my thought as well! To add it as a post-1997 driver isn't cheap or easy either - realistically it's about £500 minimum, and you have to pass a medical! Even then you can't tow a trailer...
@@smokeymotorsport geez, we need these rules in America. You can drive just about anything on a basic license and some drivers are just so terrible here! I know it would fix our roadways quite a bit!
I was going to also say this. I have pre 1997 licence so I am okay and this is what I am looking for as a full time home but yes thanks for pointing that out
Hi Mr. Burnham! I was introduced to you thru your Aquaholic channel and referred now to here. I love your motor-home tours as it really expands my knowledge, as I grew up rural southern U.S. poor and still learning more everyday. Thanks sincerely for what you do and wish the best for you and yours! No wave in mirrors here?
Pretty much all modern Class A U.S. built RVs are built on some variant of Ford chassis. That Intent, being short and lighter weight, and a little lower to the ground (one external step entry, and that small lip to the drivers platform) is probably on a Ford E-550 stripped chassis. If it is a 2020 or 2021 chassis, it is being powered by Ford’s new 7.3 L V-8. Prior to 2020 these same chassis were powered by the long offered 6.8 L V-10. Larger and heavier Class A gas RVs are on Ford’s F-53 chassis. Similar power plants and transmissions, but heavier duty frame, axels, and suspension. I suspect you’ll get 6-10 mpg.
I love these - we toured round Italy in one and it was so easy to drive, which surprised us. But Nick, when are you going to show the Crew Quarters - eh xx
Great to see one under 7.5 tonne, are there other models you can drive on a car licence with different layouts, maybe a superslide to increase the lounge area, would be great to see more floorplans under 7.5 tonne
Hello. Great video. Re 7.5 tonnes and licence. That depends when you passed your test. If you got your licence after 1997, I think limit is 3500kgs. So to drive up to 7500kgs you would need to pass C1 test. However, only affects people around 23 and under so probably not in the market for a motorhome. 😀
Surely affects anyone who passed their test in the last 23 years, not just those under 23. I passed my test in 1999. I’m 40. I couldn’t drive this on my licence.
I think i wil ltrade the mrs in in and buy and then live in this, a few small changes to customise but love it, all for the price of a garage in London
The way the kitchen is in a slide out, and the bathroom with a swinging door, I suspect it is a very tight fit to move through the rig when it is buttoned up. Bathroom might not even put be accessible with the kitchen slide in.
@@jeromep That’s what I was thinking. I like the idea of still being able to use the kitchen, bathroom and potentially even sleep in a rest-stop situation where a short break could be taken.
Good video, although feel like you are missing a fair chunk of the vehicle by not covering the outside in more detail. I watch the channel Big Truck Big RV, if you've not heard of it and you really like Motorhomes/RV's you should check it out. Every detail covered, but he of course has direct access to brand new RV's in huge dealerships over in the states and is an RV owner himself. Everything is described in terms of brand rather than feature i.e. the steps are "MORyde" steps, the slide outs are "Schwintek Slider" or a the aircon ducts are "Whisper Quiet". But in saying that, I do enjoy Motaholic, the contrast between the British and American perspectives is interesting. Aquaholic is still my favourite boating channel. :-)
The 7.5 tons valid on a car license is only for pre 1997 driving tests so anyone younger than 43 (who took their test at 18) can't drive a 7.5 tonner on a standard license. As you're...what?... about 44, Nick... You probably will be fine to own one!😁
I really liked the 3 way convertible table. Brilliant idea. The only problem with this unit for me is, I’m part of the Rebel Alliance and I don’t think I should buy from the Empire🤔
Hey nick, I know this was an aquaholic thing, but anymore house or walking tours? Just curious. Another great video. Hope all is well in the UK or wherever you’re at.
It’s typical of most American RVs it’s just dated, lacks the finish of European RVs especially the big German RVs. As for driving on a standard car license that not quite correct. The driving licence requirements for a 7.5-tonne vehicle vary depending on when a driver got their car driving licence. ... However, drivers who passed their car driving test from 1 January 1997 will have to take a separate C1 test in order to drive a 7.5-tonne truck, or any vehicle weighing in excess of 3.5 tonnes.
Why didn't the Grand Tour guys take this Winnebago, but got that crappy one? If they had taken this, that episode of Grand tour would've been really different!
All these vehicles seem to have cheap,flimsy woodwork-nothing like the quality woodwork in a Princess yacht for example. Have you seen any RVs with any semblance of real quality fit and finish? If so please do a video. Anyway, your videos are always enjoyed-real quality there. 😃
Great tour as usual. The interior was surprisingly light. Wonder if they change it for euro customers. Cool RV, nice size, great floorplan. But that front face.. OMG, this thing is ugly! Hahahaha! Great machine, but ugly. Kinda like me :D Cheers!
No information about engine HP/ size or the range of the vehicle Nick, Great RV , but as a truck driver it scares me that a person with a car license can drive this.. We have enough trouble with inexperienced cars drivers towing a caravan .. I really think that people who drive something like this need to be trained and carry log books etc , but thats just the truck driver talking lol
A bit better interior finishes than most of the American RVs but still not overly attractive. That front end is ugly and I feel the seating in the living area could do with being revised. Could do with a sofa style seat perhaps instead of that diner to accompany the two swivel front seats
Good size, I suppose. But as a former European and now American, why can't these US companies get the interior design right? It's either dark oak or this boring gray. I've seen European motor homes that have style, but this one was completely and utterly forgettable. Such a shame, because this could be such a nice RV instead of the inside of a tub of vanilla yogurt...
not my thing at all. looks like a cheap finish inside and don't like the layout. i have yet to see an american design that i like. interesting the different cultural designs between europe and usa.
I tend to agree with you. Winnebago’s interiors are perfectly serviceable, but they don’t hold the torch for interior appearance or quality in the industry. Plenty of other makers have more ornamentation and “polish”. Fleetwood’s various brands have very nice interiors and better finishes, Tiffin has some do the nicest interiors in US built motorhomes.
where is the bow thruster for parallel parking?
Nice to see a different interior to the normal dark wood everywhere that the US love to have. Very modern. Thanks for showing it Nick.
I like the short length but yet still has all the amenities of a larger motor coach. Thank you.

On RVs you should probably read out the sticker with weight and loading capacity right at the start of the video. That's quite important here.
Interesting design! Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching!

Would love to see how the interior is setup when the slide outs are retracted.
I would enjoy hearing about engine options, fuel economy, range etc. :)

Really like this one, quite a bit shorter than some of the others you've had on here, but still really spacious inside.
Great content Sir Burnham!
Nick could you show inside of these R.V's
when all closed up thanxx
Editing skill are going to the next level 👌

You can’t drive this with a car license as it’s above 3.5t, you need a category c1 to drive this.
I do think this guy is very professional at giving us a tour of motorhomes.
Nick couls you explain all the buttons on
steering wheel and dash thanks
I think you will find that is a C1 driving licence
But can’t you drive vehicles under 7.5t with B? Or is this RV to long?
@@marton154 under 3.5t with a category b, you would need a c1 for anything above 3.5 and below 7.5
Love you Motorholic!!! From Aussie😉
Small and spacious Nick Sir... Looking compact and stunning... Looking great Nick Sir... God bless you..

I may have missed it, but what engine does this have, size and make ? Thank you
How usable would a rig like this be without opening the pop outs? Would it still be comfortable/usable without opening it up?
The way the kitchen is in a slide out, and the bathroom with a swinging door, I suspect it is a very tight fit to move through the rig when it is buttoned up. Bathroom might not even put be accessible with the kitchen slide in.
@@jeromep That’s what I was thinking. I like the idea of still being able to use the kitchen, bathroom and potentially even sleep in a rest-stop situation where a short break could be taken.
If you passed pre 97 you can drive on a basic license.
Need to get cat C1 if its after
The interior woodwork feel far more contemporary and less oppressive compared so some of the others we've seen.
I enjoyed watching the Video Review

In Belgium we cant drive this with a normal driving lic. anything above 3.5 tonnes. Great RV !
Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
proper "little house" stuff! 😁
I literally saw this on Ebay yesterday :)
I think a C+E Licence would be required to Tow larger than 750KG with that outfit ...
I want this so me and my dad can go out on a long trip.
Are you from England? Nice vehicles looks very cozy
No wave in the mirror Nick ? Is that an Aquaholic only thing ? Great review by the way

I wunder if Aquaholic will sell his
Snuggler Blue for one of This ¿¿¿
I much prefer the European-designed models, the American ones can be so beige/brown.

Just missing being able to wash my cloths otherwise perfect!
its bigger than my own house

I agree it’s a bit bland, but it’s an improvement over the OAP home decor that’s so common on American motor homes.
134k for a b&q kitchen in a van
'Big TV, very American'...? So Europeans don't like big TVs...?
That is one ugly front end 🤮
Too much beige in my opinion
Looks very dated and a bit edgy to me. Not one that I would consider I’m afraid.
