    Nice to see something i've talked about for a couple of years for class B - dual use of the wet bath for storage, and not wasting that space by putting in a sink when the kitchen sink is at most 3 steps away. I still think there's a way to make the storage better, - maybe bins instead of shelves

      Ive always wondered why not just turn the entrance into the shower so the standing area of the entrance can be used as the standing area of the shower. Have a hidden rainshower head on the roof.
      Also use a recycling water system like on earthcruisers so you don’t have to bring as much water.

    Nice but these things are so over engineered that they’re a maintenance nightmare. The amount of electronics guarantees monumental repair costs when the systems malfunction as they all inevitably do. If you’re serious about off-roading, simplicity is important and this van, as cool as it looks in the showroom, ain’t simple.

    I really appreciate you talking about the CCC. So many RV Dealers and those making videos fail to talk about this. We wanted a Mercedes Sprinter Class C but the CCC was so low it just didn't make sense. You have to do your homework when buying an RV. Salesman love to focus on the romance of RV travel while omitting the real facts you need to know about when you get into this type of travel and lifestyle.

    Thank you this was very helpful, not sure if they are sister companies but this for sure reminds me of the Jayco Terrain , very simliar, I am very new to this but what has drawn my interest is the fact they are making the Vans 4 x 4 now, and that fits more my style of Fishing/Camping, also Snowmobiling and staying in the Van vs getting a hotel room ..... cool stuff...

    • @ColonialRV
      @ColonialRV  Рік тому

      You're welcome! We're glad you found the information helpful. While Winnebago and Jayco are separate companies, they both offer fantastic options for outdoor enthusiasts. The 4x4 vans, like the Winnebago Revel, are indeed a game-changer for those who enjoy fishing, camping, snowmobiling, and the freedom to stay right in the van. It's all about embracing the adventure and creating memorable experiences. Happy travels and tight lines on your fishing adventures!

    I'm considering getting one and this review is epic, especially when it comes to electricity. I thought the solar and batteries provided aren't enough. I happen to have solar at home, and NO you do not have to rely on the grid. At least in California, you HAVE to be connected, which is different. If you have batteries, like I do, you don't need the grid at all. Saying that the Revel can't rely on solar/batteries alone is a lie. It's not *designed* to run on electricity alone, which is VERY different. There are RVs out there that run exclusively on solar/batteries. But these are all added afterwards because, for whichever reason, manufacturers aren't putting in the effort to make this happen.

    This should be a 75K camper. I own a Winnebago sprinter based camper and I'd buy the revel, but it's a smaller, less featured RV for over twice what I paid for a view. That's just insane.

      No, $75k? You must have lived in a cave for the last 30 years. But $215k, that’s ludicrous. $150k tops, with a/c and those rims/tires.

      @@JeepCherokeeful I'm just putting in perspective compared to any other sprinter RV you're getting about half the value for the money your spending. Half the features, less than half the space, less towing capacity, etc. The only thing you gain is 4wd and ground clearance. The prices are extremely inflated, beyond the rate of inflation. The only thing driving the price over 75k is the illusion sold by #vanlife promoters.

    60 amps a day is meaningless without the time factor 60 amp HOURS per day. It could also be expressed as approximately 720 watt/hours, which will run a 720 watt load for one hour, not counting conversion losses, which are usually between 10 and 20% in and out of the batteries and an inverter. Obviously, the batteries can run that load about 5 times longer than just a days' solar input. Neat little rig there. :)

    • @orange13
      @orange13 3 роки тому +1

      He said 60 amps a day. „a day“ is the time factor. Sure, it is debatable if a day is a full 24 hours or perhaps only 8 „business“ hours so I agree, amp hours would be less ambiguous. Still, „60 amps a day” is not meaningless

    • @tao4409
      @tao4409 3 роки тому +5

      @@orange13 I know what he meant and it IS meaningless. We are talking about draw over time. It cannot be expressed as amps alone. Amps is a measure of draw, not power. AmpHours is a measure of power use. One can correctly express it as 60 AmpHours per day. The qualifier has to be there or it means nothing. It is a common error for those that are not entirely familiar with electricity.
