I have no need for the extra seats but I love that big refrig and the large bath and the kitchen...being single I could live with the one fold out bed...yep..I can see this one as livable home on wheels for a single person. Thanks for sharing !
Thanks Janet
Love it 😍 but for my needs since it’s just me and I don’t like people 😂 so I would be traveling alone I would take out the two back seats behind drivers and add extra storage cabinets and it will be perfect for me 👍
Thank you for your comment
Congrats Scott for the way you conducted the interview, you are the best! Rich, your joy is contagious and your RV is very beautiful, congrats!👍
Rich is really a cool cat isn’t he?
A really nice floor plan for travelers that end up in hotels or family destinations. For every need a van is out there...
bingo
Nice tour! It’s great to see a different floor plan, It has some nice features with the workable galley, decent bathroom and good seating options. I think the only downside is the sleeping might be tight for two but for a solo traveler I think its a great floor plan option with the added bonus of being able to have people ride with you on a day trip. I like the cabinetry also! (Lithium option would be even better ;-) )
Li-Ion makes every RV journey a bit more happy ! Thx Frisco T
The van is now available with lithium. We don't really nned it. The generator is sufficient for our needs.
The van is also available now in a pop-top version to sleep 4.
Wow Scott! 28K views, with 30K subscribers. Thanks. I have learned more from your video's than any other channel. Glad you continue to share your adventures and great tips. We are happy to share our van with your viewers and hope to see you on the road in the future. Journey On!
Wow, thanks!
@dusty doodle Lots of mods as we all do over time. More magnets on the fridge.
Scott, thank you for doing a show on this van.
Cool van, right Steve?
Eeyore has sold. Thank you Scott for allowing us to use a link to your video in our ad.
Great van tour. Interesting take on a floor plan for something a bit different. Totally agree on figuring out how you were going to use the van and what is the best layout that will fit that plan. This is great for taking people with you on trips and short stays. I was wondering about the storage for clothing but as he indicated they pack suitcases and stay in hotels. Perfect for them. Nice track system to secure things. Another great van tour. Well done Scott and Rich!
Thank you Cheri. Great points you make
Great video Scott! Thank you to Rich for allowing us to see his van. It’s an interesting blend of travel van and Rv van. I’d love this if it had lithium! Once you’ve had lithium, you never go back! 🤣🤣
Truth on lithium
My wife and I just toured this floor plan at the Mid Atlantic RV show and we kept coming back to it. This is great little tailgater / travel van. I could camp in it as well.
Hi Chris
I really enjoyed watching this one. Thanks to Rich for sharing. Interesting floor plan. The bed could fit 2 ppl if needed and I like the division between back and front. Also the large fridge and convection microwave is really nice. 👍
Yes, Lizzy. It is a compelling floor plan for many
We have the D model of this van. The difference is a pop up top giving you a queen bed overhead. This allows us a better “camping” option, plus tailgating and boon-docking. I also regularly take hunting and fishing trips with 2-3 friends, which this is perfect for. I have added large Alumines storage box and spare tire racks on the back doors. Also have the large hitch mounted Stowaway box for more storage when need for longer trips, hunting and fishing gear, etc.
Thanks for watching and sharing
Scott, another good van review and a thank you to Rich also for sharing his van. I am glad Rich honestly said he bought the Entegra Ethos 20A for their travels between motel stays and not any long term camping. The 20A floor plan is a good fit for his family and It would be a problem to sleep four in the van.
Thanks Larry
That is an incredibly nice looking van! Two TV's, good use of space, nice look overall. Not thrilled by the generator, but do love those seats in the front! I was wondering if it was possible to sleep anyone in those front seats?
Scott... you really do work hard to get these interviews and informative reviews to everyone, and your professionalism shows. Good on you!
Be seeing you!
Thank you Roads Of Life!!! Rich was gracious to share his Van Story
You could probably get 1 smaller person on an air mattress on the floor behind the front row seats.
The world is a better place with gentlemen like Rich in it.
Truth spoken !
Just don’t leave fingerprints on his cabinets and he’ll let you live
What a great gentleman you found there , nice van also
Totally agree with you, Rich
Great job Rich and Scott. Nice layout for a travel van. Love her name and Rich’s mods. Like the two living spaces. Two TVs in a van!? Jealous of the water and holding tank capacities!
TWO TVs!!! Thx Jane
Have to meet up to give you the in person tour.
@@richkurtz6053 we would love that!
Another fun to watch tour!!
Really nicely built coach
I have many Qs
Any issues with the TV stored in the blazing hot (often called pizza oven) space?
Love the extra positions for lagun tables
How is the bench seating? If there's seat belts enough for 6 passengers Limo tint is legal in some states
There was quite a bit of space for air to circulate around the TV. Don’t think it would be an issue. Bench seating was comfy. Thx Cathy
That TV setup is way cool!
You are correct I think
The hot water indicator is a nice feature
Agree
Impressive layout! I would consider this van if it had AWD like the Ford Transit models. This RAM model is pretty darn nice. I could conceivably live in it by myself full time. It seems rather cramped for two people though. It is a viable option as I know we'll be lucky to find any Class B RV on the showroom floor or in the lot.
That would be cool Alex. Have you this this vidoe I made on Vanlife… ua-cam.com/video/2lh1bNdZHNM/v-deo.html
Home sweet home...I’m homeless..52 and this is perfect 👍🏼
LOL
Thanks for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it Tim !
Looks exactly like my Jayco Swift!! Swift 20A
Excellent. Hope your Swift is treating you well !
Same van, different label. They come from the same factory.
In spite of the size of the bathroom, due to the raised floor around the toilet and the sink that juts out you will have few choices on where you can stand to take your shower, so I imagine I would feel pretty cramped in spite of the size. I would rather have the floor not rise up around the toilet so I can straddle it and I’d rather not have that sink in my way when I can just use the kitchen sink
Thanks Mark
Thank you to you both ...
nice van ..👍😊
Hi Diane
Very interesting layout like about everything except the bed looks small for two and it’s right next to kitchen
More like a day cruiser
And… that is how the owner is using that floor plan. great observations
For cooking in a van seems too small. Why not cook outside under the awning side. Plug in the electric hot tray or gas grill. Use the bathroom sink for dishes. Take the kitchen galley out, put sitting booth that can later be another bed. Maybe not on this model but models with the bed in the back. Cause under the sitting of the booth to put cooking appliances away. With the booth/bed room for grandkids.
Interesting ideas Nancy
Great interview. Nice camper van
Hi Horizon
The placement of the TV at that height so close to those two chairs is gonna give you neck pain in about five minutes. Those chairs must be recliners, but wait, There’s a wall directly behind so no reclining for you
Actually they do recline. You need to slide the seats forward a bit and then they tilt back. The drivers side seat has more room without the stuff stored behind it.
Owner’s comment fo you Mark
If you buy a car the manufacturer specifications tell you how many cubic feet of storage you have in the trunk or in the back if you don’t have a trunk but you spend four times as much for camper van and they don’t tell you how many cubic feet of storage it has.
Interesting point
What is the brand of that bike rack because i was told they don't make it for this RV or rear door I have a 2024.
Hey Scott, is the Ethos an all season rv? Thanks buddy.
Thank you for the video , it was helpful! One question: where did you purchase the curtains? Thanks in advance 😊
Not sure where those came from
The curtains came from Big Lots. They are just regular 63" ring curtains on a clothes bar.
Great Video! By any chance do you know where the seat covers came from? I like those.
Golly, no idea on the seat covers. Thx for wathcing g
The seat covers came from Walmart. We intended to use them to keep the beige seats clean, but we have since removed them since they keep slipping off. If I see something that fits better I may replace them.
What a cool floor plan that I’ve never seen before. Also is it on a 2500 or 3500 ram chassis & what is the length of it ???
That is a 3500, 21 feet.
@@richkurtz6053 thanks
As Rich said, the big boy Promaster 3500 … but still small enough to fit in a regular parking spot :)
@@gosmall.livelarge 👍🏿
Interesting layout.
Hi Ed
If have solar why do you have to use the generator to use the microwave???
not enough power in batteries to use the microwave… generator need for 110v applenace
You forgot to show or mention a cooktop or induction. None?
yikes
Am I the only one who’s willing to point out the obvious? This is the exact opposite of going small and living large since they are staying in hotels and merely using this van for transportation, as there are much smaller vehicles available just for transportation of four people.
We bought the van during Covid where we as seniors were worried about random public restrooms. We have relatives on the west coast, the east coast and Canada. It is the best solution for us. Your needs and desires will of course be your own.
Mark the owner of the van was gracious to share his RV and why he bought it. You should be thankful for seeing how an owner travels in their RV that they bought for specific reason.
It’s a shame some people do not listen to people talking about why they chose this B-Van!
Rich I have to say I accidentally fell upon this video by complete chance and I had never even heard of Entegra until now and I have been viewing Scotts videos for a very long time as well as researching B-Vans for myself as a soon to be Solo Traveler and I will be using it to Travel for maybe 2 to 3 week stretches at a time many times through the year and when I do buy one I will be selling my car and using my BxVan as my Every Day Driving Vehicle so I had sort of been focussed on the Winnebago Travato GL like Scotts because of the ability to still take 3 friends or family members with me and them to have a somewhat comfortable seat with seatbelts up front to still be able to talk and visit while driving. But now that I have accidentally stumbled on your Entegra 20A I have pretty much fallen in love with it! That is an amazing floorplan and so sleek and clean looking!
Now I have to start digging in and doing my homework on the Entegra 20 A!!
Thank you so much for sharing your B-Van with all of us and showing me there is a Very Classy B-Van that I could use to do my weeks long travels on my own as well as use it as a Classy Every Day Driver!!
(I know there are companies that use Mercedes Sprinters that have the same front 4 Captains Chairs, however I am SO NOT INTERESTED in a Mercedes due to the high cost of repairs and difficulty finding Mercedes Dealerships that have the correct lifts to be able to work on them across the country.)
Also I am only looking for the Ram Promaster because I want the Front Wheel Drive, I do not want 4 wheel drive or AWD, nor do I want anything that has Duallies on the rear.
Scott, Thanks for sharing this video and opening my eyes to this Entegra 20A.
I had no clue this company even existed!
I just purchased this van what size sewer hose fits in you storage pipe. I tried 10 and 15 ft camco and both are to long when compresses
Not sure as I do not own the same rig
We have the 2 piece 20 foot Camco slinky. One (the only one we have ever used) is in the tube under the van. The other is in a tub under the kitchen sink, still clean.
Hello from discovery bay ca
Hi Chuck & Henrietta !!
Hi! I have just purchased a 20T from a neighbor. I’d love to get this gentleman’s contact information. I can’t find anyone who can help me with some fine tune questions. The camper can lots say that will charge 300 dollars an hour for advice!
Congrats on your new van!
Nice!
Thank you
Don’t like having the black tank flush next to fresh water fill.
thx R T W
Why? Just use correct one
Can you say Jayco?
LOL. Have you seen my video, Solo female traveler in Coachmen Beyond Li3 HUBBY STAYS HOME! Washer & Dryer in Camper Van

How many does this. Sleep.
Two people
Very nice and funny friend
Hi Andrea
People without a van making absurd comments. Just get your own shid that YOU want for yourself.
Nice ! Did you see this video I did staying in a parking lot Urban Camping, ua-cam.com/video/DamOaRoTs0Q/v-deo.html
hate the outside speakers....
why?
Thx, I think. I have the same speakers and use them all the time. I really enjoy music in my campsite. To each his own though, right
We reallty do not need them. A good bluetooth speaker is more practical. I would rather not have the holes in the van either.
Don't trust a "B" Van that isn't a doolie
Coming from your personal experience that is helpful advice
Why do you say that? Just wondering. Haven’t bought a van yet and was wondering why you have that opinion? Thanks.
Give your van a name all you want but sharing it with strangers who are not the least bit interested is kinda like whipping out your wallet to show pictures of your grandkids to people who are not the least bit interested
!!!
I’m interested!!!!!!
