V20E2: Revel Adventure to the Landy - Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- The mission is to travel north in our Winnebago Revel to retrieve our Land Rover Defender 110 in Utah, and tow it home. Why not make an adventure out of it, and explore the backcountry along the way? This episode kicks off in southern Arizona, in comfortable January weather among the saguaros. I put the four-wheel drive Sprinter to good use, and traverse some primitive tracks that probably haven't seen a Winnebago before. Features some amazing Arizona scenery, scratched paint, and I nail this week's sandwich.
EDIT 1/21/23: "v4wd.co" links are temporarily broken. I have a support ticket into Bitly. I'm expecting the links to magically start working again, hopefully soon!

Now this is content! You are an artist. I’ve missed this.
Incredible what the Revel can tackle. Pretty tough trails and all the comfort of an RV. Looking forward to the rest of the adventure!
Revel should sponsor you! I am in the market for one in the near future and I appreciate you showing the capabilities.
That van is very impressive offroad for its size
Great video, looking forward to the rest of the trip
You have some pretty nice gear! It shows you take good care of your things. Some people don't appreciate what they work so hard for... I'm impressed! Safe travels.
Great video thank you!
Arizona Peace Trail on Western side of state is a good choice, warmer. RTR was just going on in Quartzite recently. When winter is over you might want to consider the Great Western Trail but it does have some high elevations for winter. Great video, have fun, be safe 👍😎
Add a pickle to the sandwitch on the side. Works wonders, more than perfect!
Good to see the return of an old regular to the channel, Baja Blast
@Cougar Sand grow up ! What an immature little child. What did she ever do to you? Fool !!!!!
@Cougar Sand
That's a terrible statement to text. Shame on you!
No Worries buddy I'm only subscribed to see what's for dinner lol this is the best 4 wheel youtube channel Peace
I am pleasantly surprised at the capabilities of the van. This video should be used as a commercial for the Revel.
I welcome the evolution of the channel. Most people don't have a significant other to support their job. Especially one like yours!
For the ones who have negative comments about the channel direction then don't watch. If you're not a Patreon do you even have the right to complain?
Excellent! vid. Surprised I sat through the whole thing, enjoyed your videography. Do you work for cinema, Hollywood perhaps.
Watching all of your adventures I've been waiting for this from y'all for a really long time lol
I’m so happy to see you use the Winnebago revel instead of the jeep on this trip it’s nice to be able to see you use it to its advantages and show us just exactly what this fan is capable of
I’d go for the Taco Bell too! I have been watching you forever and binge watched the day you sold everything and moved into the keep. Congrats on the house Chris. It has been a blast watching you grow! Thanks for taking us along with the journey!
Super enjoyable episode Chris. So many excellent shots, and it was interesting to see the van in the forefront exploring backcountry. Looking forward to the continuation of this series!
Two good recent episodes in a row. Yeah, more like the good old days of the good ol' Chris Shontz, solo Jeep adventurer taking me with him in proxy to relive the good ol' days that I'll never see again; at least not in this current life any more. Okay. Keep on truckin'! Oh, and by-the-way. GREAT on-the-move video shots! Superb editing. You're a bona fide pro now, that's for sure.
Yay!
youre my fav grilled cheese chef!
I'm very impressed with the capabilities of the van being able to go into what I would call hostile territory LOL. That was a great advertising piece for that van when you were showing the van going down that ravine with all that Rocky territory and it did it without any problem at all that shows me the capability of that van is pretty damn good
This should be an interesting run, looking forward to it. Give Shannon a big hello. Don’t let the little children deter her from being in the videos, she’s part of the channel now.
So you bought your home in beautiful Arizona! Nice choice. 🏜️🙂☀️
Does anyone know if they bought Tim and Kelsey's (from Dirt Sunrise) home?
Cool to see it on three tires.
👍👍👍👍👍
What happened to the Jeep??!
Thank you for not spending the whole video packing your van as most UA-camrs do.
Thanks for explaining "airing down". While driving thru back country; do most people just stop anywhere to camp overnight??
@@NigelNaughton thank you.

Great day, when there's another venture4wd video out
Can the van haul furniture ?
Thanks for the air down info. In our 2WD 2500 the factory calls out front psi @ 49, rear @ 71. Is the Rebel the same?
What do you consider max speed on dirt in your rig?
Big fan here. Like anyone who's breathing I've an opinion. You skip Orangie for awhile and focus on your van. Jeeps are great( own 3 right now) but I bought them because I can't afford a van like that. There's so many jeep Utubers. It's hard to stand out. Not nearly as many Mercedes van vids. One to look up as an example: living the van life (Chad) . Again big fan been watching since beginning.
Any chance of you making a trip to Alaska this summer. Would like to see that video.
Shannon is chomping at the bit to go, but most likely 2024 - we both have commitments keeping us in the lower 48 for now.
Always a great idea to air down when out wheeling. Makes it do much more comfortable. With the purchase of your house, are you guys contemplating getting rid of the Revel or the Rover Truck? Just curious....

It's just a home base for now,a place to stretch out and relax and recoup
I watched a youtube series where a guy rode a mini jeep over 1000 miles of Utah back roads. Of course the mini jeep is inadequate for such a trip. My question is what are more reasonable vehicles for such a trip? I immediately thought of the Revel. Are there any other RVs you can recommend that can comfortably handle long trips of backroads with below freezing to 100+F temperatures?
Thank you for your videos!
Didn't you have Starlink in the van? Did you have to leave it back home for internet there?
What’s the deal with the red light over the dining table?
Any sandwich you survive is a good sandwich.

That van needs a winch bumper.It’s only a matter of time before you’re hopelessly stuck and maxtrax won’t help you.
I remember watching you get stuck when you first got the Revel-a winch would’ve made short work of that-but being all alone out in the desert-with no help?A winch is worth every penny it cost you.
How do you decide a site is safe to camp for a couple days?
Campsite selection is not always straightforward. But if it’s relatively level and either private or you get a good vibe from the neighbors - that’s a winner.
How do you have Texas plates on your vehicles when you don’t live in Texas?
Most states will impound your vehicle if inspection or license plates are out of date, eventually he will find this out and pay a hefty price.
@@bobbyleonard2024 dude? No. He legit. Many full time travelers domicile in Texas, Florida or South Dakota. There’s companies out there that cater to this providing a real mailing address and mail service. You can get a texas DL too.

Why are you ‘shouting’ in upper case? Eye impediment?
Chris...Texas plates?
You may run Into YTBer adventure van man lol
Just curious, but where is Shannon
Yep..welcome into new year..this trips focus was more on stuff n less on the land n its beauty.
.food was ok too..box store n grilled cheese..two more episodes till truck..guess I'll wait n see..thanks
Did I stumble across Van Life?
Great video on your new trek. Hey is something up with your mic. Your “Ss” in your speech are at a higher pitch.
I’m a long time follower and still enjoy your videos, but your trips have lost a lot of the adventure feel to them. Seems like you mostly explore just outside of towns, which I understand given the girlfriend, van, house, etc. Hope you can get out for some real adventures soon.
Halfway through your video and no mention of Shannon. We love Shannon and your channel can grow to include more women watching your videos if she is included.
Too bad there are some sad pathetic lonely men who do not want to see a happy couple making it work.
