To bad they price themselves out of most peoples comfort zone! I've loved the Revel since it came out even with its lack of Quality Control! But Pricing????😭
Some info for Josh and fellow viewers of this channel. Another You Tuber, Caleb Walters (in a different review), posted this feature comparison to the Revel. Hope Josh, Caleb and UA-cam don't mind me sharing it here. It is from the Go Small, Live Large review of this rig. This was very helpful to me from a comparison and research standpoint so I thought I'd share. No intention of stepping on any toes by sharing to this review, my intentions are pure: "Thanks for checking out the Jayco Terrain! The following items are a summary of the Terrain's specs and features as compared to the Revel: -10.2 kW of lithium output vs the Revel's 3.2 kW (Run an AC for 8.5-11 hours straight on a full charge vs 3.5 hours in a Revel) -The AC is STANDARD and is 48V, meaning no converter needed = higher efficiency (110V AC option on Revel) -STANDARD black aluminum wheels and off-road tires (option on Revel) -Upgraded shocks and sway bar -3,500 W inverter -Front light bar -Real partial paint option -Sliding and reclining rear passenger seats that spread apart to provide more shoulder room -Exterior speakers -On-board air compressor -Powered rear passenger window -Electric powered, heated, and memory front seats -Cassette dump station utility light -The van is spec'd as a passenger van with a large window in the sliding door vs the Revel is spec'd as a cargo van and they cut out a small window -The clothes line in the shower is retractable -2 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY vs Revel's 1 year limited warranty" At a similar price point to the Revel, I think the Terrain offers more. The on board air compressor, vastly superior battery power/inverter and longer off grid AC run time seal the deal for me. Outside of that they are virtually identical. Once again Josh, I sure hope I'm not out of line by sharing this here.
I don’t mind because you’re simply sharing info and this is ABSOLUTELY a head to head with that Winnebago. Frankly it’s a copy I love it when folks share info Just don’t care for when other channels try to advertise on mine lol
When I hear of solar panels I’m used to hearing watts and kilowatts. When I hear lithium batteries I’m used to hearing amp hours. I’m guessing it has 3-4 100 amp lithium batts. What say you??
@@MichaelWilliams-ro9bm Volts times Amp = watts, or vice versa. Since this is a 48 volt battery rated at 210 amp hours that is 10,080 watt hours or 10.008 kilowatt hours. In other words it's one big ass powerful battery. From Thor: "48V - 210 amp hour smart lithium battery providing 10KW hours of power".
Bump out flares are available for all Sprinter conversions. You can get all kinds of aftermarket equipment for Sprinters to make your own version of a overlanding vehicle.
Looks really neat, but I just can't justify a home mortgage for a van. I like the size and Mercedes van as I have heard good things about that motor and vehicle. The price appears to go up $100k from the base vehicle to this build-out by Jayco. Doesn't make sense that fifth wheel trailers 2-3x bigger than this can be bought for less than hat $100k price jump. I think I would be more apt to buy a base van myself and build it out for my needs. Or buy a truck and trailer and still be less than half the price of this van. This is definitely a niche market. I envision a young couple who are engineers or traveling sales working remotely and doing a UA-cam channel for biking/hiking. Then they rent it out periodically. With all this said, I would still enjoy having one of these. 😄
These Mercedes chassis two year ago were much more reasonable. Remember it's just the chassis so the modification is way overpriced. Not even a tv and the solar is underpowered. Mercedes by the way voids the warranty if you add that fast idle package. Other chassis builders allow engine to come on by itself to charge batteries so you can leave a pet inside. Mercedes does not allow this. They never explain why.
@@stevez340 as far as the truck I'm with you and you could get a dually and truck camper from Arctic fox with huge water tanks and a slide and tons of room. This is so overpriced.
Although a huge fan of the Class “B”! I would never pay this much for a Jayco! Too many other players in this space with similar floor plans and Lithium packages with much better build quality. I.E.- Tiffin “Cahaba” and StoryTeller Overland for starters…
I've never watched a van video till now. I have to say I'm impressed with the clever use of space, but I'm completely baffled by those two second seats. IMHO a waste of space. Not a bad layout but room for improvement.
Omg you’re a riot! I just bought this rig, I’m a girl and I love the tech part off grid capability. Great presentation - the sales person from my RV place knew jack s$&t about this rig, I knew more than he did.
Well thank you for watching! I'm still trying to learn more about the tech specs on some of these specialty systems. I hope I represented it well for you :)
4:21 a manfrotto magic arm and suction cup mount will change your life for situations like this. Or if you’re using your phone a flexible arm attached to a suction cup or superclamp works great as well
I would get the regular paint job instead of the custom mat option and if I thought I needed something special or more durable ; I could always have it wrapped with any graphics I could possibly dream of . In my case ; it would be a native American inspired southwestern scene more than likely !
On the induction cooktop. If you have cookware you want to use that doesn't work with induction you can always just pickup ether a old fashioned resistive hotplate or get a portable butane or propane stove and carry that instead.
very cool... would still prefer a 4x4 class c considering the prices between the 2.... but if that not a concern, excellent... has everything covered, did not see a tv, but nowhere to put one... laptops and such work just fine.... for what this is bathroom is really pretty good. cargo/bed area is about perfect, just may have to leave stuff outside with bed down, which should be ok. bed in the up position looks like another good place to the store the wife in road mode, will be right where you need her when get where going. good power system, long term off grid, all you need is to go get water and gas, right back at it.
The Rekon has a kitchen prep area. Simply remove the driver side mattress. You end up with a six foot long prep area to place the induction cooktop. This space also serves as a workbench to fix your ski bindings, bike repair etc. If looking for a true adventure van the only one without equipment on the chassis underside is the Rekon. For off road clearance, build quality and resale value the Rekon is the obvious choice.
Excellent coverage of a unique B van. And you beat Hank Strange to the punch 🤣I realize this rig isn't for everyone and the price seems steep to the 'normal' RV candidate. The MB chassis isn't cheap. This rig will take you places no truck and trailer are going to get you. I don't think Jayco would have developed this rig if they didn't think there was some market for it. Thanks, Josh.
With the driver seating, I wasn't surprised by the rotating ability, but that little extender was kinda neat. With accommodating short people, it's pretty easy because they just pull the set up and maybe get some extenders on the pedals, but tall people are usually just stuck being cramped. Being able to spread out the rear setting was an unexpected bonus. all in all, definitely good on features. Kind of a shame the bathroom/shower is so cramped. I'm not really sure what they could've done differently for that, though.
Maybe I missed something; seats four but sleeps two barely, you get to pay for a 4x4 but don't get adequate ground clearance to clear a speed bump, they give you a tilty table but not a silverware organizer. Sounds like an expensive "camper" for someone who is really going to spend most nights at a Marriott. Campers like this are for dedicated adventure campers and Jayco is trying to sell it to the general population with cute features. Nice battery back though.
@@JoshtheRVNerd not everyone goes over night - some day cruise and want to bring a couple. Many people will use the mid seats while parked to work from or eat etc. I just bought a Sanctuary 19P and it’s a blast. The 4x4 system is amazing and the ride is easy 5-8 hours per day is a zero issue.
IMHO the 144 sprinter is only suitable for 1 person. Get rid of the 2nd row of seats and either make the bathroom bigger or put some kind of table setup.
A quality built overlanding unit, with such posh amenities, is a vastly growing market. In fact, the newest fads are for solo or couples living in smaller conversions, done well, but not this well. Way to scoop the skinny on these as they're rolling out.
Really cool, but it's more than I paid for my house in Idaho 10 years ago. Anyways, so much thought must have gone into this creation. An amazing offering for that market segment.
Josh: Nice rig for those who might be more hard core off grid users. But there are ALOT of other class B rigs listed in the extended Bish inventory for the more main stream user and with much less expensive price tags. Don’t really understand having four seats with a bed that barely fits two people sleeping very closely. Are the other two passengers supposed to sleep on mats and sleeping bags on the floor under the bed? But, as always, enjoyed the effort and enthusiasm you put into all your videos. Respectfully, W.S..
I'm doing my best to capture more motorized inventory but there's still a lack of it out there. Chassis suppliers are still the bottleneck for motorized companies
@@JoshtheRVNerd Undoubtedly doing your best allows you to sleep peacefully at night and sets an honorable role model for your daughter. Shabbat Shalom W.S
This looks like a great rig for an adventurous single or couple. With that price though it would have to do double duty in our family so I appreciate that they added jump seats and movable tie downs in the cargo space even if the bathroom space suffers a bit. I still think a small tow-behind would work better for our needs but it's good to see other options too.
I don't do many. Far fewer than all the movie trailer teasers out there. TY for the input however. I appreciate it all both positive AND constructive! :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd we use to instant on the internet. Do what works for you. I called Amazon for the non Season releases so we cant binge hows. Releasing in blocks of shows instead of whole seasons. :) thans for the content.
Excellent design. Drivers seat for tall people GENIUS! Class C's could learn from this. We and Sherman the Roadtrek have a lot of adventures before we look at a new one. I like your new ending(wishes from Bish's). Safe travels my friend.
Was never a van type guy, but this makes me change my mind. Love the power system, Jayco sure did a good job on that. Nice to have an air compressor so you can air down and up your tires for different terrain. Like the tow capacity too, could pull a trailer with a UTV. Would of liked to see how the ladder secures for travel on the back, would be nice if it had a keyed lock so no one takes it. When you are going to reference Jurassic Park for toughness might be a good idea not to use a dinosaur with a My Little Pony vibe. 😂
Fridge is too narrow for frozen pizzas and other standards. Build-outs. Insulation in there? 4wd should have winter insulation and no exterior plumbing to freeze.
Josh, This question is off the subject of the hyper camper van up top. 😔 You always close your videos with the coolest poem. You also add that there are no hidden dealers fees at Hayslett / Bish's. My question to you is: unless it's already been done - but would you or can you share a video with us explaining / showing what these hidden fees would most likely be? (Provided that a swarm of lawyers doesn't suddenly invade your space!) Thank you! and God bless always!
One of the nice things about joining Bish's from Haylett RV is they allowed me to retain full creative control of this channel. It's literally just business as usual for me. So that kind of stuff is perfectly fine. Let me see what I can get sometime and perhaps I can throw that together
Like it a lot. Pretty much Jayco's version of the Winnebago Revel. Need to go down the compare rabbit hole now. Update - Wow. At those MSRP's I'd expect a 33% discount prior to TTL to even consider.
That's _exactly_ what this is. Had they not given me the courtesy of recording one of their units on their grounds like this, then that's exactly what I would've said.
Just saw the sale price on the Bish's website in Idaho. You could buy a loaded Shelby F-150 4 x 4 with a top of the line Ember RV and still have money left over versus the price on the 2022 Jayco Terrain 19Y. I would rather have the Shelby and the Ember!
I did some looking at similar stuff from brands like Winnebago. The pricing seemed comparable to what they were doing as well. But yeah - no denying she's spendy
I know you can’t please everyone. I don’t like it. It has lots of neat features but it is too expensive. The rear seats look uncomfortable. They need armrests. The bed looks uncomfortable as well. Yes you can put e bikes in the back but where do you keep them when you sleep? Especially in bad weather. I don’t like the bathroom configuration either. Jayco just wanted to see how much stuff they could cram into a van. Thanks for the look at it.
Jim _thank you_ for writing this. I welcome all respectful input and this is such a good example of the fact you can dislike an RV without being a troll about it. Thanks for staying classy and watching :)
My question with these is where do you store clothing for your outdoor adventures?? There seems to be zero thought to clothing in any of these types of vans.
Hey Josh. My wife and I love you. Did you call the "firefly", a "dragonfly"? We had a great laugh. You're the best! We would definitely buy our next RV from you if you weren't all the way up in Michigan. Take care and God bless!
Is the water tank outside of the vehicle if so it needs to be winterized? With the 4x4 Rekon with Pleasureway the 40 gallon water tank is inside the van and doesn't need to be winterized. Cindy so where is the water tank in this vehicle? Inside or outside? Cindy
It's a long video - just making sure you saw the little lagun table I pulled out. Not a full on "dinette" of course. But it's something Plus it has that outdoor fold down table
Maybe a tall stool to sit on for showers? I can't deal with these vans with slanted walls. I'd at least want a box van with straight up/down walls. They take no more space to maneuver.
The initial floor plan at the beginning of your video didn’t seem to match the actual floor plan (the bathroom set-up looked bigger with the toilet all the way to the front instead of centered), is there 2 floor plans offered?
Lol, when I saw this I know jayco is capable of building diesel heater and water heater system like a European RV but won't do it for that super c you had on about a week ago. Plus no LP. I find it just stupid that RV companies don't do this as an option throughout there drive able lineup. I also think this needs a diesel generator as well because it would be more efficient than running a 6 cylinder diesel engine at high idle.
Where is the TV? You know when it rains and annoyed might be nice to have your fish and tv. This looks like the small sprinter. Is the liner one available? This is just a really small B. There are better with more battery. My electric car had 77kwh . Ten? C'mon
Josh do you have to leave the rear doors open to stay hooked to city water? Or is it just designed to fill and run off the onboard tanks? This is very cool!!! Great video glad I stuck with the channel.
It's the same standard RV generators have. On the same token.. wouldn't it be pretty fail to drain your fuel unknowingly and leave yourself stranded? I think the key is understanding the RV's systems so you can plan accordingly
I have been watching these kind of videos. I saw one that was 20ft and four wheel drive and had more thing in it . And it was toldly electric. And big every thing. It was 220.000 but with a dealor doscount it was 185.000. So jaygo is ripping the buyer off. And you may not even get a spare tier. When you spend that kinda money you should get a spare tier.
Not much creativity or innovation. This is a copy of the Winnebago Rebel. It seems sunk in the back. When look at the tires, the rear seems lower than the front. The 2nd row seats seem for skinny no more than 120lbs people. I like the seat little separation feature. Do the front seat swivel to face the 2nd row? Love the 10KW battery package. The kitchen seems better than the Rebel. With the hidden induction cooking plate and big solar package, gives you more options and counter space that the propane 2-burner range that the Rebel have. I prefer the silver color. Even when not fully stealth, it looks like it will not bring too much attention to it if you need rest in a residential area. I'll probably get a " Josh the RV Nerd Plumbing Service " magnetic sign to be more stealthy if needed in a residential area. The on-board air compressor is a great idea.
It's really almost exactly a copy of that Winnebago with very little really separating them. Front seats do swivel. Demonstrated in video (though I didn't fully turn them so perhaps that's confusing to look upon) That kitchen really was impressive. Best I think I've seen in a B. Idea for the side: Giant decal saying "NOT the FBI Van"
Who thought it was a good idea to shove a power outlet directly underneath the water station? Seems like a short/electrocution hazard waiting to happen.
I definitely recognize how it looks odd. It's not my favorite placement. But at the same time if the RV was hooked up at a park and it was driving raining outside, then nobody would bat an eyelash. The little trickle of water you may see from the hookups isn't anything to worry about But could it have been done better? Yeah. Definitely.
It’s beautiful but way too expensive! I just wish this kind of build would be on one of an American vehicle chassis which would be more affordable! American b class chassis builds are somewhat retarded, I wish they would take a page from this build & apply it to theirs! 29:34
When I saw the $225,000 MSRP for a Class B van I immediately grabbed my chest like Fred Sanford and yelled “I’m coming to join you Elizabeth”😬
Woah! Woah! Woaaaaaah!
I know the 4x4 vans are hot, but yikes!
hahahaha
To bad they price themselves out of most peoples comfort zone! I've loved the Revel since it came out even with its lack of Quality Control! But Pricing????😭
Most 4x4 vans are around that price based on options.
@@adventureswithgnomie6553 That is so true, but I'd much rather buy a $75,000 3/4 ton pickup, a $50,000 trailer and then throw $100,000 in the bank👍

Excellent design. Drivers seat for tall people GENIUS! Class C's could learn from this. We and Sherman the Roadtrek have a lot of adventures before we look at a new one. I like your new ending(wishes from Bish's). Safe travels my friend.
Loved the live chat! Thanks Uncle Josh, great review as always!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@JoshtheRVNerd Just don't tell the boss I was watching during working hours... ;)
@@MatthewIrvine You're secret's safe with me.
Was never a van type guy, but this makes me change my mind. Love the power system, Jayco sure did a good job on that. Nice to have an air compressor so you can air down and up your tires for different terrain. Like the tow capacity too, could pull a trailer with a UTV. Would of liked to see how the ladder secures for travel on the back, would be nice if it had a keyed lock so no one takes it. When you are going to reference Jurassic Park for toughness might be a good idea not to use a dinosaur with a My Little Pony vibe. 😂
Air Compressor: Now that i've seen one I want one on every RV
Dinosaur: IT'S A UNICORNISAURUS REX ALRIGHT?!
@@JoshtheRVNerd 😂
Fridge is too narrow for frozen pizzas and other standards.
Build-outs. Insulation in there? 4wd should have winter insulation and no exterior plumbing to freeze.
@@lyfandeth Frozen Pizzas in a van?
Josh,
This question is off the subject of the hyper camper van up top. 😔
You always close your videos with the coolest poem. You also add that there are no hidden dealers fees at Hayslett / Bish's.
My question to you is: unless it's already been done - but would you or can you share a video with us explaining / showing what these hidden fees would most likely be? (Provided that a swarm of lawyers doesn't suddenly invade your space!)
Thank you! and God bless always!
One of the nice things about joining Bish's from Haylett RV is they allowed me to retain full creative control of this channel. It's literally just business as usual for me. So that kind of stuff is perfectly fine.
Let me see what I can get sometime and perhaps I can throw that together
These sell for $140k to $155k
You have to shop around but for the love of god don’t listen to this guy that there worth this
Haha! You missed your calling as a comedian.
lol TY :)
Like it a lot. Pretty much Jayco's version of the Winnebago Revel. Need to go down the compare rabbit hole now. Update - Wow. At those MSRP's I'd expect a 33% discount prior to TTL to even consider.
That's _exactly_ what this is. Had they not given me the courtesy of recording one of their units on their grounds like this, then that's exactly what I would've said.
@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks Josh. Updated the original post with price reaction. Get some sleep, it's after 7 on the West coast...
Just saw the sale price on the Bish's website in Idaho. You could buy a loaded Shelby F-150 4 x 4 with a top of the line Ember RV and still have money left over versus the price on the 2022 Jayco Terrain 19Y. I would rather have the Shelby and the Ember!
My father actually has a Shelby. He wouldn't disagree lol :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd An apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Your Dad is AOK in my book!
Nice for 1 person. Hefty price for a Class B. I think Jayco did a nice job for such a small van. Great review, thank you.
I did some looking at similar stuff from brands like Winnebago. The pricing seemed comparable to what they were doing as well. But yeah - no denying she's spendy
Where are the fresh and gray tanks? Will they or the lines freeze going down the road??
Just reviewed, beats the last three hands down.
Wow ty
love the humorous you have - subscribed :)
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for taking the time to share this with us
My pleasure! Hope you like it :)
I know you can’t please everyone. I don’t like it. It has lots of neat features but it is too expensive. The rear seats look uncomfortable. They need armrests. The bed looks uncomfortable as well. Yes you can put e bikes in the back but where do you keep them when you sleep? Especially in bad weather. I don’t like the bathroom configuration either. Jayco just wanted to see how much stuff they could cram into a van. Thanks for the look at it.
Jim _thank you_ for writing this. I welcome all respectful input and this is such a good example of the fact you can dislike an RV without being a troll about it. Thanks for staying classy and watching :)
I really liked this until I looked it up online and saw the $220,000. base price. WOW!
Man, I really like this one but wife saids no. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
Lol
I love this van I wish I could afford it
My question with these is where do you store clothing for your outdoor adventures?? There seems to be zero thought to clothing in any of these types of vans.
Frankly.. I have similar questions sometimes
You didn’t mention the 2 leaf springs.
Hey Josh. My wife and I love you. Did you call the "firefly", a "dragonfly"? We had a great laugh. You're the best! We would definitely buy our next RV from you if you weren't all the way up in Michigan. Take care and God bless!
Oh probably LOL
I don’t consciously think about what I say. What comes out of my mouth is a true “stream of consciousness” sort of thing
@@JoshtheRVNerd We love watching your videos. You are always so knowledgeable and funny. Keep them coming and God bless! 😁
Thanks Josh nice video.
Glad you liked it!
Is the water tank outside of the vehicle if so it needs to be winterized? With the 4x4 Rekon with Pleasureway the 40 gallon water tank is inside the van and doesn't need to be winterized. Cindy so where is the water tank in this vehicle? Inside or outside? Cindy
I believe it’s inside but I could be mistaken. Not where I can physically check but a local store member certainly could
Thanks josh
My pleasure!!
Great review!
Thanks.
My pleasure!!
Overlanding is big nowadays
A little too compact. I would need some type of dinning area. Seems more for those who like those trailers with just a bed.
It's a long video - just making sure you saw the little lagun table I pulled out. Not a full on "dinette" of course. But it's something
Plus it has that outdoor fold down table
Maybe a tall stool to sit on for showers? I can't deal with these vans with slanted walls. I'd at least want a box van with straight up/down walls. They take no more space to maneuver.
For 200k I could get 200 old conversion cans, 200 hot plates and 200 Porta potties. Boom.
I want this little booger sooooo bad!
Which exterior did you like better?
@@JoshtheRVNerd I prefer solid colors. Like the stealth appeal.
Some coll innovation but not right for me😊😊👍👍👍👍👍
Cool RV, Real question. Where can I get the Jayco water bottles to put into my Jayco 195 RB?
Right there at their Middlebury, IN Headquarters
This thing is awesome
I think cast iron can work for regular and induction cooktop
Will have to look into that. Ty
also works on gas station murder hobos
@@JoshtheRVNerd And Uncle Gary if he gets waaay too ornery for the leash
@@byzantinecatholicoutreacho3694 lol yes!
The initial floor plan at the beginning of your video didn’t seem to match the actual floor plan (the bathroom set-up looked bigger with the toilet all the way to the front instead of centered), is there 2 floor plans offered?
No the floorplan schematic is based off their original design. What we’re seeing here is the final product which may have been tweaked a little bit
Lol, when I saw this I know jayco is capable of building diesel heater and water heater system like a European RV but won't do it for that super c you had on about a week ago. Plus no LP. I find it just stupid that RV companies don't do this as an option throughout there drive able lineup. I also think this needs a diesel generator as well because it would be more efficient than running a 6 cylinder diesel engine at high idle.
Love this Class B!! I would opt for the silver paint 📦 package!! Great solar and battery!! #JoshTheRVNerd
TY Susan. So glad to see you here :)
Renogy doesn’t mess around. I have several Renogy solar components. Great products.
Petition to rename the tv center and UA-cam channel to Bish please.
Lol
It's a 4x4 like my boss .Josh this is kind of pricey for what it is . Who won the starring contest ? 💣🚽💥💥💥
America. America won.
Where is the TV? You know when it rains and annoyed might be nice to have your fish and tv. This looks like the small sprinter. Is the liner one available? This is just a really small B. There are better with more battery. My electric car had 77kwh . Ten? C'mon
Josh do you have to leave the rear doors open to stay hooked to city water? Or is it just designed to fill and run off the onboard tanks?
This is very cool!!! Great video glad I stuck with the channel.
It looks like it’s made just to fill and go since it’s made with a more off grid intent
love it.
Josh!! How do you raise and lower the bed? Simply turn the bed key?
There's a button by the key. It's easily overlooked. Exactly the same as the power beds in their Class A Motorhomes
I dig it.
Furnace will not draw below 3/4? Sound like you need to fill up prior to overnighting. FAIL!
It's the same standard RV generators have.
On the same token.. wouldn't it be pretty fail to drain your fuel unknowingly and leave yourself stranded?
I think the key is understanding the RV's systems so you can plan accordingly
That's not what he meant. The diesel heaters will not let the tank go below a quarter tank. It can draw 3/4 of the tank.
Wow!
yep :)
😍😍😍❤️
I have been watching these kind of videos. I saw one that was 20ft and four wheel drive and had more thing in it . And it was toldly electric. And big every thing. It was 220.000 but with a dealor doscount it was 185.000. So jaygo is ripping the buyer off. And you may not even get a spare tier. When you spend that kinda money you should get a spare tier.
I'm not sure what you've seen exactly but we have these for less than 150... perhaps it was someone else with an inflated price tag?
I;d get this in a heartbeat but putting 20-30k downpayment is ALOT. Live for the day teachers make more lol
Hi Josh...for reference, what is your height?
With those shoes and no hat about 6’2”
20 bucks says half the owners climb the ladder while attached to the door.
I wouldn’t take that bet lol
Not much creativity or innovation. This is a copy of the Winnebago Rebel.
It seems sunk in the back. When look at the tires, the rear seems lower than the front.
The 2nd row seats seem for skinny no more than 120lbs people. I like the seat little separation feature.
Do the front seat swivel to face the 2nd row?
Love the 10KW battery package.
The kitchen seems better than the Rebel. With the hidden induction cooking plate and big solar package, gives you more options and counter space that the propane 2-burner range that the Rebel have.
I prefer the silver color. Even when not fully stealth, it looks like it will not bring too much attention to it if you need rest in a residential area. I'll probably get a " Josh the RV Nerd Plumbing Service " magnetic sign to be more stealthy if needed in a residential area.
The on-board air compressor is a great idea.
It's really almost exactly a copy of that Winnebago with very little really separating them.
Front seats do swivel. Demonstrated in video (though I didn't fully turn them so perhaps that's confusing to look upon)
That kitchen really was impressive. Best I think I've seen in a B.
Idea for the side: Giant decal saying "NOT the FBI Van"
too small and too much coin for me. but, this it is very nice.
Fair enough! Thanks for the feedback Doug. (Jen- Josh The RV Nerds Other Intern)
This literally costs more than my house.
More than my first house too
LOL take your house four wheeling in the mud rocking and rolling all over the place... Not advised... 🤠
Don’t like it. Don’t want it. But, the video was still very interesting. Glad I watched it.
Well Thank you for taking the time to watch regardless! She's definitely not for everyone!
Quarter million before it gets plated and on the road. And it will lose what, sixty grand as doon as it does that? Josh didn't buy one either.
It’s correct I didn’t buy one. In fact, I didn’t buy most of the RV as you see on this channel.
❤❤❤👋😁
👋
The beds in these are definitely "one hitters". You probably can't get a wife back there with you. Unless maybe you're still in the honeymoon phase.
Who thought it was a good idea to shove a power outlet directly underneath the water station? Seems like a short/electrocution hazard waiting to happen.
I definitely recognize how it looks odd. It's not my favorite placement. But at the same time if the RV was hooked up at a park and it was driving raining outside, then nobody would bat an eyelash. The little trickle of water you may see from the hookups isn't anything to worry about
But could it have been done better?
Yeah. Definitely.
It’s beautiful but way too expensive! I just wish this kind of build would be on one of an American vehicle chassis which would be more affordable! American b class chassis builds are somewhat retarded, I wish they would take a page from this build & apply it to theirs! 29:34
200k??? Who the $@!! Is buying this?
