Hi, everyone. Features and specs can be found on Embassy web site here: embassyrv.com/models/cape-cod/ Also, we followed up two months later with a Q&A with Terry to ask him the questions all of you left in the comments. Here’s that Q&A:

The cargo carrying capacity isn’t listed. What is it on average?
There are a couple of errors on their website for the Cape Cod... sofa bed is bigger than listed, etc. They are going to update info soon.
@@RoadsofLife Thanks for that clarification Robert!
$195850 MSRP list. Little pricey for my blood.
yep- too pricy for most. These B+ vans have gone out of sight.. Before COVID you could get a class A diesel pusher for $200k!
Way too pricey!😢
@@ConsultantMerciaMur-SAY I urge all to boycott these RV companies that are taking advantage of post-Covid excuses. Supply constraints are no more, and raw materials are down in price. These RVs should be going down in price, not up.
@@gosman949Thor and Forest River offers several models in your price range.
This is EXCEPTIONAL! Worth the wait. Congrats to the team at Embassy and Terry for their commitment to design integrity and excellence.
I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Terry and his team. Thanks for watching!
Love all the features you have incorporated. Finally, a company that is thinking ahead and building a quality product. Must say, however, I'm a little disappointed with the over-the-cab storage. It does not look like it will be easy to move between the cab and the house. And with all the mentions of making corners curved, seems like that opening is small and boxy. Also, the microwave is pretty small. Looks like there is plenty of room to have installed a larger one. And, like others have said, solar would be a definite plus. A dedicated alternator is great if you are moving frequently. But if you're stationary for a while, solar is free energy vs running the engine just to charge the batteries. Overall, this looks like a great RV. Curious what the price will be when it comes on the market. Definitely on my watchlist.
I’ll pass your thoughts along to Terry and his team. It might be hard to see in the video, but the microwave was very deep. Thanks for watching!
Ok I watched this twice… start8ng to like the backsplash very much.
Beautiful unit. You and your team should take great pride in the quality and execution of this unit.
Rose Anne and I are just happy Embassy owners, but I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Terry and his team! Thanks for watching!
Congrats to Terry and the entire Embassy RV for completely rethinking the Class B+ RV and injecting so much innovation in this new entry into the segment. I am really proud of Embassy for taking the time to do this rig right. Great job Guy for capturing this Cape Cod RV Tour while at the Embassy RV Customer Campout event. HOORAY 😃 … the Cape Cod has landed
Thanks, Scott! Enjoyed looking at the video of your new RV home. Hope to see you back out here on the road soon!
There's Scott. 😂😂
IMPORTANT.....BEAUTIFUL B+ rv but.........many and Im sure many older folks cannot get down to open and close the toilet. Or some of the other low things would need a pull system or something...I actuall narrowed this vehicle down as one I would buy. Im so gla I saw this cuz the knees wont allow me sadly...for others it could be their backs etc etc etc.....all the best!
Shower curtain should just be removed - especially if as stated the entire bathroom (including the entry door?) are water tight. Those curtains - even as seen in this walkthrough - are simply a nuisance & often impossible to keep clean / mold free
Been waiting a long time for this debut. I’m sure there are more details to learn, but I’m very impressed so far as Embassy appears to be so strong on the details that rent often discussed. I’ll be curious if there will be plans for multiple floor plans for the Cape Cod down the road. I expect this will be very successful
It is beautiful. I’ll pass along your floor plan question to Terry and hope to address questions in a future video. Thanks for watching!
As a very short person I would worry about pulling a hot pan, or Pyrex casserole dish from that convection/microwave oven. If a sauce were to splatter on my face or in my eyes, that would kind of ruin my day. . I wonder if the refrigerator could be mounted higher so that the convection oven could be mounted below it. I'd rather have a frozen steak fall on my head than a pan of hot spaghetti sauce. 😉
Very nice beautiful unit. I was wondering about head clearance from cab to inside. Also the possibilty of recliners in place of from sofa bed.
I’ll pass those questions along to Terry. Thanks for watching!
Does the tv come out more so it can be seen from the couch?
@@pamelareed5021 Yes, TV and be seen from couch and also swivels to be viewed from the cab. Thanks for watching!
Solar panels?
Nope
I don't even see them as an optional add-on, but surely they have to be.
Nice job, Guy! I'm looking forward to the final chassis numbers. The roof is so strong, another Cape Cod could be stacked on top of it. That's freaking strong and could be an excellent rig for NASCAR events and such...
Good Point, Gene! Thanks for watching!
What is the price going to be? A beautiful RV so I have to ask. Thanks Terry for the indepth review! 😃
I think your best bet is to discuss pricing directly by calling Embassy. I think there may be options that affect price, and of course the price of the Ford chassis fluctuates year to year. Thanks for watching!
@@amorevanBut why can’t you give a ball park price? For some it may be much less affordable and won’t want to bother calling. Thx
I think it is somewhat south of $200K, but that really is a question for Embassy.
You have changed my mind from the aeon, wonder, and ecko
Wow! A TV that faces the front couch! Had an RV a few years ago that had a similar couch but a TV facing the rear, so it was at a 90 degree angle to where you were sitting. Talk about awkward. This one appears to be built for actual human bodies to enjoy, without having to twist their torsos as if they're octopuses, when they want to watch the screen! So many fantastic features all over this one. Bravo to everyone who designed it.
@@gmaneis It really is well done. Thanks for watching!
Love this. But what gives pause (other than price, obviously) is the ground clearance. How will this do on bad roads, with gravel or lots of potholes? Is this chassis the all wheel drive? Can the chassis be lifted a little?
Yes, it is AWD. I believe that one of the first buyers has plans to have an aftermarket Van Compass lift performed.
There is no awning showing. I presume the end result will have one?
Great unit, but the position of the TV wouldn’t work for us. Is it a compose toilet?
Hi! Don’t know if noticed there are 2 TVs, one in the bedroom and the hideaway one in the lounge. Toilet is your choice of Laveo Dry Flush or Separett.
You got this one up fast! Didn't have a good signal at Eby's Pines, but hopefully will have some stuff up soon!
Great video and interview!!
Tried as I may, Verizon was nullified at that place. I had some already downloaded Audible books, though...
Thanks, Robert! Happy Travels!
there needs to be a way to dry your clothes in the bathroom
WTH is going on with the low bulkhead over the front seats??? Ingress/ egress from front to back will be extremely difficult, why???
oh I want one this is beautiful
Yes it was!
Very thorough and well done. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Didn't mention water tank sizes.
34 gallon fresh water tank
37 gallon gray water tank
er 7 gallon gray water tank
No black tank and 200k?!😮
Wish the Ford 2023 Dolphin S was that quite.
The Cape Cod really was whisper quiet! Thanks for watching!
Is this a car or truck chassis? Did they reinforce the chassis?
Hi! It’s a Ford Transit cut-off chassis. Terry discusses the chassis, among other things, in this just-released follow-up: ua-cam.com/video/bQfrspfTQNE/v-deo.htmlsi=A8c-n9gnMahPfsxe
If as part of controlled custom they can get rid of one bed so I can have my bike int there without having to remove the wheel we may have a winner!
I'd like the bed removed to put dog crates:)
I’ll pass your thoughts on to Terry and his team. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely fantastic!! I love it!
It’s fantastic! Thanks for watching!
Very nice well thought out design
It was beautiful. Thanks for watching 😀
Like everything except that bathroom. I'm not getting down to pull the toilet out. They'd have to rethink that before id consider purchasing it.
Hi. The advantage of the hide-away toilet, as I see it, is that it makes the shower huge when it’s hidden away. Of course, people who prefer to can simply leave the toilet pulled out all the time if they wish. If we owned one of these, I think we’d likely have the toilet out most of the time and only push it in to take a shower. Thanks for watching!
Luv it. Thanks for showing.
Few things tho. Where's the electric stove?
Option location of the microwave could be directly top of the sink. Pull out TV is awkward but who watches TV now a days. Most watch on their own tablets.
Dedicated table for breakfast or a lagune table at the sofa/bed?
How many gallons of fuel?
Thanks
Hi! All Embassys come with a portable induction cooktop, so you can choose to cook inside or out. Don’t know if you noticed second TV in the bedroom. I’ll pass your other comments/questions on to Terry. Thanks for Watching!
Where is the awning?
Embassy does not install awnings on any of its RVs. I believe they are of the view that they are inherently unreliable. Many of us who own Embassy RVs carry portable awnings, like the Kelty Sideroads or Backroads models. We have the Backroads that we like very much. Thanks for watching!
Finally an exceptional well engineered vehicle, I am so impressed with the beauty of it but the practicality of it also. Most manufacturers build these rv's now and people spend thousands doing upgrades to solar and all kinds of things. This one I could purchase and probably never upgrade anything.
A couple of questions, how long for a build time would be on this and also is there anything done to the Ford Chassis with the suspension? Again nothing slapped together with this RV. It will be coveted by many. Well done!!!!☺🤩
Hi. I’ll pass along your kind comments to Terry and his team. As far as lead times, I’ll pass that question to Terry, but if you are looking to possibly place an order, the sooner you call them the better. As far as the suspension, I think Embassy will install Sumo springs, if requested, but that’s something to discuss with them also. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! This is a home run.
Indeed it is!
What I like: the storage, no wood, the cameras, the portable induction cooktop, dry-flush toilet.
What I don't: no solar.
Will it be an option or easy to add?
A number of viewers have asked about solar. I’ll pass the question to Terry. Thanks for watching!
Thst door's different. Where's scott? 😂😂
Well done! Wow! Much more complete from what we saw during our factory tour in April. If we were still in the market for a class C this would be at the top of our list, hands down, just like Embassy vans are for class B. Outstanding! It has all the best ideas I've see with improvement. The rounded corners really makes a difference too. First impressions are very high but I'll have to watch it again to get a second impression but I'm guessing it will only go up in my opinion.
Keep up the good work Embassy!
And thanks for sharing the video guys.
It really was beautiful! Thanks for watching!
I love wood. I wouldn’t brag too much about a van with no wood
What about the fresh air/air filtration system? Two max air fans? How does the system compare to the Dolphin?
Hi. Thanks for watching! In addition to several awning style opening windows, and an air conditioner that I believe can be set on fan only, I saw 1 Max Air, but I’ll pass your question on to Terry for a future video.
Beautiful innovative B+. Great interview. Sadly it won’t work for us as we need the garage space to be able to hold full size road and mountain bikes. Maybe when we are in our slow-go years we can take another look at Embassey.
Thanks for watching! Hope you find something great that works for you. Are you sure your bike wouldn’t fit lying down with the wheels off? I didn’t measure the garage opening, so hard for me to say.
So why is it on a Ford Chassis?
Why not? MB has emission infested diesel. Woulda love it on Chevy 3.0 duramax but they're not using em on their vans it too has issue on its oil pump belt. Big diesel engines are pain in the srse to maintain. Big gas are gasslers. Ford Twin turbo v6 is the way to go for retirees. If you noticed most of their buyers are over 55 y/o who'd luv to explore N America.
@@czealtamahawk1228 it takes the over 55 crowd to have the coin to pay for one of these overpriced rigs.
I think because Transit is the only gas chassis. To charge the house battery to run the AC, the engine must be running. Van Diesels - the "New" 2010+ emissions - DO NOT like to idle (A Sprinter representative said if you must idle more than 30 minutes, you have to drive it on the freeway for an hour to get the Diesel Particulate Filter hot enough to burn off the accumulated residue.... something along those lines.)
@@czealtamahawk1228 not on the new 4 cylinder Mercedes diesel!
Does anyone know the dimensions of the exterior pass through storage and the dimensions of the pass through door opening?
I’ll pass that question along to Terry. Thanks for watching!
Is it necessary to place the kitchen counter extension down In order to use the front bed? I would prefer to have kitchen drawers under the counter.
I’ll pass your question along to Terry. Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous….. but…. The side facing sofa cannot safely accommodate child car seats.
I believe Embassy is planning a future floor plan for the Cape Cod that will have a forward facing rear seat. I don’t know the timing of the release of that floor plan. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your quick response! We have been waiting almost 2 years to see what Embassy would come up with, ever since participating in the first focus groups. Glad to see they incorporated my suggestion of a slide out toilet ;)
Excellent sound - especially with a direct microphone for Terry. 😊
Thanks, Ed!
This is awesome they are coming to Massachusetts. Can't wait to tour one at the Adventure Van Expo!
Yes, it’s great that you’ll get that change! Thanks for watching!
Nice rig, great video. Thanks for sharing
Embassy did a great job on the Cape Cod! Thanks😀
What are the tanks ( fresh and grey) made of? Bladders like the Dolphin?
Large 30” x 45” custom shower
34 gallon fresh water tank
37 gallon gray water tank
Linen closet in bathroom
Any mention of price in the video?
What is the price?
Best to call Embassy for precise range of options, but I think figure on 190k+
Type of toliet,, type of cooking burners,😅
As with all Embassy RVs, No Black Tank. Choice of Laveo Dry Flush or Separett. Thanks for watching!
Cape Cod my home!! How did you come up with that name?
I’ll ask Terry. Thanks for watching!
Is there a small table for use w sofa or swiveled chairs?
Off the top of my head, I don’t recall, but I don’t see any reason a Lagun mount could not be placed there. I’ll pass your question along to Terry. Thanks for watching!
Is there a insert for the beds to make one large bed? I like it!
Hi. While the demo unit toured in this video did not have that feature, I believe it is or will be available in the production units. Your best bet is to call Embassy directly and ask about options. Thanks for watching!
What is the interior height under the ducted feature?
I’ll pass along your question. I don’t know the measurement, but I am just under 5’11” tall, and there were several inches clearance over my head.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure!
How many people does it sleep sorry if I missed it
4. Thanks for watching!
Another Excellent video from Amore!!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
No solar??
The demo unit in this tour was not equipped with solar. I will pass along to Terry your question of whether it will be offered with solar. I am pretty certain the MasterVolt inverter has a solar port/controller, so I suspect solar would be an easy after-market add in any event.
@@amorevantheir website doesn’t mention solar either. Seems like a major miss to me especially considering how relatively inexpensive it would be to add two 200w solar panels.
@@bk3132 I don’t know. I’ll ask Terry. I personally think that with big Lithium systems with powerful second, dedicated alternators (like we have on our Embassy Class B), solar is overrated. I know some folks like it, but the alternator charges the battery so much faster.
@@amorevan if I had to choose between the two, for sure I’d want a dedicated second alternator. But this is a super premium rig. What if I’m parked in my driveway for days or weeks and want to keep the fridge running without being plugged in? What about boondocking for multiple days without moving? Solar would be very helpful.
@@bk3132 solar is only a trickle charger. Good for maintaining while not using only.
How can I see this in person or find pictures of it? (None in their website)
Embassy does not use dealers, so best way to see one will be to visit the factory in Elkhart. However, in the video at the end, Terry said that he is taking it to two Adventure Van expos this summer: one in Massachusetts and one in Tahoe. So, check out that part of the video to see if the dates and locations work for you! As for pictures, consider joining the Embassy Owners and Wannabees Facebook group, Many members were at the reveal and took many pictures, which they have posted on Facebook. Here’s a link, thanks for watching! m.facebook.com/groups/embassyrvownerswannabes/?ref=share
Thank you for the info.
Are there any seatbelts in the twin beds?
I’ll pass your question along to Terry. In the video, he mentions it being pull tested for belts in various locations. I assume belts in the lounge area, but I don’t know about the bedroom. Thanks for watching!
What will it tow?
I’ll pass your question along to Terry. At the time of the video, he did not have the weight figures at his fingertips. Thanks for watching!
Where is the cook top?
All Embassy RVs are sold with a portable induction cooktop, so that you can use it outside or in, as you prefer. Thanks for watching.
Very nice 🚐
We agree!
Terry is the ultimate salesman
Yes, he believes in his product and it really shows! Thanks for watching.
Any chance of getting the Ford AWD version
I am almost certain the Cape Cod is built on the AWD only, but best to double check directly with Embassy. Thanks for watching!
My mistake it wasn’t listed on U Tube but listed on the web site, love this coach. Have to figure out how to get it in or into Canada, Cheers
👍
@@alistairwright6613 if you live in Canada, try Leisure Travel Van
So much space!
The storage was HUGE! Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
👍
Nice👍
Thanks ✌
Awesome B+ are the rear wheels dual?
I assume so, but unbelievably, I don’t recall noticing 🤣.
33:57 yes, you can see the dual tires in the back resp. the deep rims.
Where do you cook your meals?
Embassy supplies a portable induction cooktop so you can use it indoors or out. There is also a pretty large convection microwave that is shown in the video. Thanks for watching!
You will be fasting while you're using it so you'd loose tons of fats. No need to cook.
