âčïž About the episode:
We were eager to try out the Class B Van Lifestyle. We rented this Winnebago Travato 59k and took a trip from Pheonix to Prescott to Payson for a stand-up paddleboard trip. Although we had an "issue" with the blank tank in the previous episode, we really enjoyed this Class B trip. In this episode, we give a tour and review.

Best advice I've heard on a channel so far. "Know your mission" and "Be careful who you are getting RVing advice from". Excellent job.
Thank you for your review of the 59k. As a 59 k owner you were right about so many things. We love our 59K. The shorter bed holds and enormous amount of things. I have 2 chairs, 2 tables, 2 step stools, 2 sets of hiking poles, extra toilet paper, 2 sets of high top hiking sneakers, 1 huge outdoor rug, 1 small rug, 1 bag full of candle lanterns and a few more little extras. We bought this rv so that we could go anywhere without limitations. We are big foodies and love eating our way across the states. The one thing that has helped me are collapsible products that i have purchased on amazon or Marshallâs. They were a game changers as it allows you to bring even more stuff. The frig looks small but holds 9 days worth of food. Once you personalize your rv you are able to have all the comforts of home. We pull into a campground only to sleep as we are busy exploring the area. Itâs great having your own kitchen and bathroom during those times. We rented 3 rvâs before we made our final decision. We rented a travato 59k and 59 g. We also rented a 2015 unity Mb from leisure travel to make sure we were not making a mistake in the layout and rv. You have to figure out what your needs are. Yes, its very small but the travato 59 k is âmightyâ in what she can do.
I loved how you set the distinction about what type of RVer you are. Wanting solitude or wanting to travel and see places. Helps a lot! Thanks
I love my 2019 Travato 59G. Go everywhere, park anywhere. 5 minutes to set up and take down. It has a dedicated bed and a separate dining table so no reconfiguration. Huge refriGerator and separate freeze which freezes ice cream! Table also folds to make another bed.
We love our 59K! Just celebrated our One year Vannaversary! It is amazing how creative you can be when packing what you need. We have boondocked and stayed in state park campgrounds and travel with our golden retriever! Gas mileage is great and the 59K has everything we need to enjoy biking, hiking, concerts and checking out little towns across the US!
For those who are having issues with their tank sensors. I found that if you dump ice down into your tanks and drive around a bit it tends to clean the sensors. It worked great for me.
We have a Lance cabover camper. We LOVE it!!! We can road trip and boondock ANYWHERE. Parking lots at truck stops, Cracker Barrel. Walmart, etc. We just went to our local National Park for 2 nights. Due to Covid, camping spaces are very limited. We had to MOVE each night because you can only reserve 1 night per site. Crazy now! Anyway, night 2 site was on a hill and not so pretty. We showered, dumped graywater using our tote at restroom, then moved to overflow parking RIGHT NEXT to the river!! My husband went fishing while I primped up and cooked breakfast. There is NO WAY you could have done that with a large RV or trailer. We park ANYWHERE we want. We're only 7ft wide, not 8ft, which makes a world of difference. I don't see many truck campers anywhere. They're awesome! When we get home we off load the camper with a remote control for the jacks, SIMPLE!! Then my husband has his truck for work, we're self employed. Lance makes a quality RV!!
Traveling in our Class B, literally EVERY DAY someone would be eyeing our van, asking questions about it, saying "I gotta get one of those", etc. Literally every day. :) We love our van....3 years now!
Yep, I was probably one of those guys...đ
You hit the nail on the head for the Class B type of user. We have a Winnebago Revel and sought out this kind of camper van/RV. We are primarily backpackers and saw this as the perfect trailhead vehicle - we have everything with us plus the comfort amenities. Previously, we used our Outback and a tent. As we age - this is a step up.
Amazing season, unreal how you keep finding ways to change things up and find new topics non stop. You deserve all the success you have!
The tank comments had us rolling. Its so true. The gauges never work so we all stop looking.
Yes! We just had our maiden voyage of our new to us trailer and couldnât figure out how the black tank got full so fast....then I discovered that when it was empty, the indicator showed 1/3-1/2 full( because the sensors get gunned up )
Vans are the best, in my opinion. We can go anywhere, park anywhere, and be stealth if we need to be. Don't need to "set-up" as we are always easily ready. Plug in, if we want to use the gen if we want to. Solar can keep us going for quite a while. Thanks for showing us the new Travato, it was on our short list, but decided on the Coachmen Beyond.
Commenting for the algorithm, viewing for the quality! Loving what you do at KYD!!
With my EX, I had a 40' bus pusher...then a towable tent trailer behind my Goldwing. Since I'm SF my current consideration has been travel safety. My choice is a 30' class A, easy to drive, everything I need, I can park...assess my surroundings before exiting the vehicle. I have a TOAD which I had a battery disconnect installed, it can't be driven off. I can wait until I feel safe before I go out to set up. Solo females need to think about safety more than expense when they are making their decisions. Enjoy your videos...pros and cons of different units!
My husband and I use our van for going to our grandkids sports tournaments and events where you are there all day or weekend and there is hours in between games. We always have a quite place to rest, eat and refresh before the next game or Moto event. Best purchase ever!
đ thank yâall again! I know it was bad from last week but after you brought it up the LOL đ started again! But on good note đ yâall do good for many of us 1st timers and us who have been at it for a short minute!
Your review is spot on! I am a 66 year old RV newbie. I LOVE my Leisure Travel Van as it is perfect for hauling my horse and trailer and is a great way to horse camp. So fun.
I think a Leisure Travel Van might be more their speed with more room and dry bath, along with more exterior storage. Maybe LTV would lend them one to try out! đ
We have not done much traveling, as my wife has many food allergies so we don't eat out. I think a class B would make traveling doable so I thank you for this informative video. I used to camp with my horses when younger so have much towing experience, this looks easier once you have learned you rig.
This weekend I ran into a dad and his sons in their summer to remember shirts. They found KYD two years ago and credit you with getting them camping. Thought you should know they've been having a great time camping.
I tell everyone to watch KYD for inspiration ! Such a positive channel
!!
We purchased a PleasureWay Class B a couple of years ago after years of tenting and trailers. Iâve found anecdotally that the largest market for Class Bs that are upfitted by the major vendors are baby boomers that are retiring, many of whom have never owned any kind of RV. I really donât think the average middle aged adventure seeker is going to drop north of $100k on a new Travato, PleasureWay, Leisure Travel, etc. But that does make the used market for Class Bs really hot now. They seem to sell within days of posting the ads.
I definitely at first thought it was going to cost 59k lol thanks for explaining that in the beginning. Yâall are the best!
Our van DOES not smell bad!! Mark you are so right. Love our Travato! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž Also right about the cushions and we often just leave them home. Packing cubes for clothes works great. Hubby built rack on the top back and put the solar panel over the top on a hinge. Put a spare tire up there too. Great back door mount bike rack available. 1000 watt inverter on non lithium models. Bath sink drains into black tank so we hardly use it. It is a great makeup shelf tho!
Great presentation, thank you for your efforts. A bit of a different perspective on Class B. Iâm a older, single part time RVâer and am still agile enough to enjoy my 28â 5th Wheel. Iâve felt that when I am no longer able to handle the setup and take-down of a 5âer I would go to a Class B because of the conveniences you pointed out.
You guys continue to give me food for thought.
Great Review Marc and Trisha! Andrea and I needs to step up our RV Review Game!!
You guys are amazing
Hey Matt....
Yes find me the perfect cougar couples camper. Stepping out of the kid zone my keystone bunkhouse is gone my baby is 23
Then stop jumping up and down like a roll polly kangaroo and start your reviews based on your actual Rv experiences and real life insight.
After 3 years of discussing full time travel nursing, we decided to stay home full time here in SWFL. BUT we are now thinking about getting a small travel trailer to take down to the keys/beach RV parks/Ocala National Forest for very short small adventures. Like you guys always say, start with what you can NOW, and start living the lifestyle whichever way you can. Start small and start now.
What made you decide against travel nursing ? Iâve been thinking about it for years and canât decide and covid rules makes the decision even harderđ
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 Mainly my wife! Haha but Iâm focusing on getting into CRNA school mostly now. Plus my wife is pregnant with our third child and wants to be planted for that. Otherwise Iâd be on the road!
@@Pureblood-Nojab Thanks for replying !
I think thatâs sounds like a good plan for now, especially the way things are looking. Get your next degree, letâs the kids get a little older and then you can revisit the idea, if the economy crashes youâll be glad you are in a home and can take care of your young family!!!
Wishing you all the best !!!!!!
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 exactly! Thank you!
Despite the challenges or adversities you face, I always smile while watching your adventures. Your attitude & positive perspective is contagious. Thanks.
You both communicate so well and the analysis of picking the right RV for what the âmissionâ is was outstanding. Anyone considering a RV should watch this one.
We need the details on Trishâs outfit! A RV capsule clothing video would be awesome too!
Great idea.
Yes! Iâve been trying to identify her skirt/skort.
I have recently started watching you two and I have to say it's absolutely beautiful the way you complement each other in everything you do together.
Welcome and thank you!
The best part of having the separable towable from the tow vehicle is: (opinion only), leaving your trailer set up, take your tow machine out to explore the local areas, pick up that marg.-mix, etc.. I do admit, having our small car on a tow-dolly, served that purpose also, (when pulled behind the class âAâ M.H.). The tow dolly is a pain, if ever needing to back up very far. Thanks for reminding me of all the RV adventures over many years. đ đ
I love Charlie's comments! And the Changing Lanes Chad's "BOOM" is starting to get real popular with the RV channels. ;)
Chad's boom is from the 1980s
@@badgerpa9 I do like Chad's style on Changing Lanes and now KYB has a great style of BOOM. Keep up the great RV videos.
Great Review Marc and Trisha. Nice Van. We love the options in that van.
We enjoy your videos and have especially enjoyed the series on motorized RVâs. We have camped for many years starting with a home built camper in the back of a pickup truck. We the progressed through a couple of pop-up campers, a hybrid, and then a 25â travel trailer. We recently purchased a Pleasure Way class B. I have MS and have great difficulty in walking and the TT with itâs hitch, weight distribution, sway control, and leveling just got to be too much and I couldnât stand to watch my wife try to do it all. We found the class B and love it. My wife sells things on-line and we spend allot of time shopping for her inventory. We have our bathroom and refrigerator with us at all times and can park in any parking space. With the solar and lithium battery pack we can run everything but the A/C unit on battery power including the induction cooktop and microwave. If A/C is needed and we have no hookups we can start the generator. For an overnight stop we usually donât hook up anything unless A/C is needed and then just plug in. As you stated it is not for everyone but for us a class B is perfect and is allowing us to do things and go places that otherwise would not be possible. Space is tight, especially since I carry a folding handicap scooter which takes up most of the main storage area under the rear folding sofa. We just need to be careful about what we try to pack. Not for everyone but it sure works for us.
Your videos always make me happy. Naming the bear Bob is the perfect choice. With a greeting bear, people will say, âHi, Bob!â and if youâre playing the Bob Newhart Show drinking game, everybody does shots whenever anyone says âHi, Bob.â
Another great video guys! Itâs been fun watching you guys camp in different rvâs and give your honest opinion of them. Thanks!
Loved this review! I had been waiting all week!! We just bought the Travato 59KL! Canât wait!!! Thank you for the great review!!!
You've sold me. If I can get a good deal, I want one for the types of trips we do!!!
We are retired and love our Van. We have a self built high roof ProMaster. We love it. We can travel and find places to park where ever we go. We have traveled all over the country. The key is figuring out what you actually use and what you donât. We have several chairs that pack away two tables that fold away.
My daughter and son in law just bought that Winnebago!!!. I loved it for them too. It does have a lot of wonderful features.
Great review! My husband and I specially appreciated your comments on how important it is to know what you plan to do when you are using the RV in order to select the right RV for your needs. We have had a class C for about a year, and it has been perfect for our needs. We are using it for long weekend as well as one or two week trips. We love being able to just pull up to our site, level, let the slide out and plug in. Takes about 10 minutes. Love the kitchen, fridge is good size, murphy bed is easy to put up and down, etc. Has plenty of space for the inevitable rainy days when we play board games rather than site seeing. So for us, it really works.
Regarding the incident of horror that shall never be mentioned, well hmm. Suggest adding "pre-trip black tank dump and flush" to the punch list. I know this isn't the way any one wants to start their trip out, but better to make sure there aren't any issues before you head out of town. As RV owners rather than renters, we do a black tank flush every time we dump which helps prevent any kind of issues (keeps the sensors clean, etc.). Yes, this does take an extra 5 or 10 minutes, but prevents a lot of issues in the long run, and there is some satisfaction from seeing perfectly clear water coming through the clear elbow.
That head banger shelf over the cockpit was a major reason we went with a Sprinter van. Built it ourselves so it meets our needs and desires perfectly. What a game changer for traveling over our 40ft Montana.
Thank you both for sharing your experiences with the 3 different motorhomes it was very incitful. And Mark I throughly enjoyed your mini tantrum it made me laugh. đđšđŠđ
The joy of watching KYD in a campsite in MN with hubby, and not being at work. Yay!!! I love vacation!
I am getting a little too old for the campervan lifestyle (I shall be 80 next year) but I did appreciate one thing you reviewed in your look at the Winnebago. The long, full length, for a 6 foot man, couch with a raising head rest is ideal for that nifty daytime kip. It also looked like a really comfortable bed for a weary RVer. I do however appreciate more the space in our 33 foot Gulf Stream Conquest. Also the ease with which this smaller RV can be used to commute to the shops and stores is a great benefit compared with our Jeep jolly boat trailing behind. Thank you for the great videos we are dedicated KYDers.
Wow!!! Thanks for sharing your views. Truly gave me something to think about duringmy search for a first travel RV.
Such an excellent point about the different rv styles! Iâm one of the people that gave you bad advice about Alaska because I told you about the kind of places I love. It wasnât until I saw your video then that I realized we like very different things! Now Iâm more careful!
Out of all the rigs, I love this van best. Thanks for your reviews.
100 percent accurate in knowing the type of rv'ing you want to do. We are dry campers, and love the solitude and the craftiness that comes with being in the middle of nowhere for 14 days. Our tow behind has never seen an rv park.
You two have such a broad mindset to include the various types of travel/camping/full time/weekend warrior/single person/family and so on, your reviews are excellent !!!!!
I love how you donât just talk about what works for you, this channel is about helping anyone and everyone with all their various needs, wants and styles to get going and make it the best it can be for them !!!!
That right there is a huge part of your success........oh well and Charlie of course đđđ
â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž you all, can wait for this season and the fun ahead !!!
Blessings
FREEDOM. If I had to pick one word to describe our Travato 59k, it would be FREEDOM. We absolutely love our T. It totally fits our lifestyle. But I'm thinking we now need to add our own Welcome Bear. Great review! And for the record, after 4 months of ownership, I still hit my head. lol
A truck camper is very similar to a van. We just got one :) We recently bought one for a family of five.
We just spent a week in a Winnebago Solis in Grand Tetons & Yellowstone. Parking in normal spots was amazing plus being to sit and wildlife watch with our âcamperâ was so clutch.
Yep... Winnebago thinks of everything . My folks started out in the we need everything RV when they retired ...one year later they went to Winnebago and said ... build us a Realta like this... down to every color and they traveled 3 years in bliss.
Iâm not a fan of manufactured class Bs but I do love the self builds Iâve seen having full sized elevated beds in an East/West positioning. In that configuration you have a basement that affords quite a bit of storage including carrying bikes. Nature head commodes and bigger freshwater tanks along with solar and you can dry camp longer and many full time in these vans. It has been my dream for years. That is until I started watching you guys now I want both dreams. Love the changes to the cabin! Bob is a perfect addition.
Great review, you hit the nail on head that the best thing about class B's is it is stress free. You have EVERYTHING with you all the time. We would rather spend an extra 5 minutes making a bed than trying to guess everything we may need for the day.
Weâve had a Winnebago Vectra 40KD for 15 years and finally today, made a deal for a Travato 59K. You guys nailed it. We are hikers, bikers and backpackers and want to be off grid at at a trailhead.
We are beyond excited.
Weâve recently begun backpacking and tent camping and getting ready to do a transcontinental bike ride using the Travato as a sag wagon. Simplify and minimize!
Thanks for a great confirming video.
Every form of camping can be distilled to how much comfort vs how much mobility at what cost.
We sold our 26 ft travel trailer once we built a self built camper van, we are currently adding a 6X12TA cargo trailer conversion for stand up space. 36 feet long but articulated at the midpoint so it remains very nimble. I certainly appreciate the other forms both larger and smaller but our setup is intended for cross country national park adventures with the ability to drop half of the rig at a campground with the mobility of an 18 ft cargo van. The self built part is both budgetary, and part of the adventure. It is very satisfying to travel in something you built yourself. Thank you for showing the difference between many other ways to camp.
Travel does transform us in a good way - Mind - Body & Soul. Something about the land and nature calling us home so we can take in all the fresh air, waters and inspiration!
Thank you for your videos. Just took delivery of mine. I love the floor plan, very open. I am tall so I love the long beds.
Great shared experience in the Travato 59K and awesome advice on RV purchasing considerations! Thank you!
Another great video. I miss Charlie though. He MUST come back to the videos, thank you!
I have that laundry container and I use it for so many things. At the end of my trips I can bring my dirty clothes, sheets and towels all into the house at the same time.
I must get one of those collapsible bags!!
Enjoyed the video and the perspective of the motorized RV reviews. It is good to have your experience with numerous towable RVs overlaying the insights of your review.
We very much agree with the collapsible laundry basket recommendation at the end. We bought two of them a year ago based upon the recommendations of your laundry day video, and have been very pleased. Not only do they work as laundry hampers, but also as grocery transfer, folded clothes storage, temporary misc household goods storage and transfer. We have also found them great to hide a small grandchild in for playing hide and seek in the 5th wheel. Then they fold down next to nothing for storage (take the grandchild out first). Thank you!
I bought the 59 K in 2017.
Full-time for 4 1/2 years. I could not imagine being in anything else.During any kind of weather event, I can enter through the rear right onto the shower pan. I can hang up my gear to dry. Done. Shower area has its own fan and heating vent ( vent is located next toToilet which ends up heating it.)
The main cabin never has to be exposed to any kind of moisture. From the shower or weather.
Watched a few of your videos, you are such a fun and down to earth couple.
Have enjoyed your reviews of different monitorized RVâs. It is so true, there is a rig for whatever your adventures & needs aređ€
We are van lifers and it's PERFECT for us! It's super flexible and we can get everywhere. We have a new Thor Sequence with the exact same floor plan as the Winn Travato 59k and love it.
My wife and I enjoy your CZcamss. We had a cabin in Munda Park, AZ that we sold recently. I was spending my weekends doing maintenance and cleaning up pine needles. Weâre looking at an Airstream 25FB and enjoy your perspective.
This would have been great when my daughter was competing as a figure skater and all the different competitions we would travel to every week. It would have given her a place to go to rest as well as be close to practice arenas.
Marc, Tricia & Leach Family, I came across you channel while researching RV destinations. I started recognizing how many of the same places we have been and literally same door ways we have walked through. I started watching your videos in order and I have watched through season 5. I want you to know I recognize the hard work you have put into this channel creating good, entertaining and educational content. Keep putting out videos and I will keep watching and hitting the thumbs up. Thanks Steve
Great review of drivable RVs. I've not seen what's coming up next but having the best of both worlds... Mark you say you're a truck guy, have you looked into a truck camper? We already had a truck large enough to tow our fifth wheel and ventured out picking a truck camper for shorter trips when we want to "park at a trail head" or tow our boat or go atving. Owning both has given us the ability to do that and we don't need a large toy hauler. A truck camper does require one to be more agile as there is climbing stairs and climbing into bed but very little set up and tear down. There is also the ability to unload the truck camper to use as a base camp. We still have our 30' fifth wheel for family camping and extended stays.
We have had our class B van for five years and we're in it 60+ nights a year...still hit our head on that front cabinet sometimes. đ (Mostly it's my husband, who wears a baseball cap a lot.)
Also, I think you really hit the nail on the head regarding who a class B is perfect for. We insanely love ours. We do events (dance, run, bike, etc), and also love the solitude of dispersed camping all alone for hiking.
Thank You Guys so much!!! I truly appreciated your review and conversation as a whole about difference between RVing and what is most important to the individuals involved. I have been trying to plan a RVing trip with my family, renting of course, and this would be my first experience as a whole with RVing. Finding your channel has truly been a blessing and I appreciate your chemistry and conversation towards the topic. I am grateful!!! Thanks Again! Blessings To YOU!
I have dual agm battery, 46 gallon transfer flow gas tank, bed slide, bed rug, pure sine wave inverter and ac outlets, ARE Z series cap, Yakima rack, airbags riderite. I was glad when you got airbags, bedslide, transferflow tank.
Any rig is a mess to live in at first until you get your muscle memory for moving around in it. Also all the tweets you need to do to make it truly livable. I almost broke my toes several times because the step up to the cockpit was about 3 inches high compared to no stepup in my old rig. Also the step up platform under the dinette was slightly higher Tham my old rig. Finally my legs remembered the new movements and I got all the hooks, lights storage etc. twerked and I stopped hating the new rig.
Real reason for liking the class A is parking brakes go pssss and the air horn. Welcome Bob the Bearđ»!Thank you for sharing your experiences with the different rvâs. Have a great day.
One of the very best channels on YT. Excellent content, production value and overall sense of fun-humor-adventure. Canât wait to see you back on the road towing something!
Yes! You nailed it. Winnebago does use Marine cushions that give you that breathable airflow. They come up with designs based off customers. We were the "future" or as my husband said, "the hot chick" when we rented the Winnebago Revel. Everywhere we went people approached us, asked questions and took a selfie. It was a fun ride! If it were just the two of us we would have bought a REVEL. We have a 10 yr old and dog too. We needed a little more room so we went with, and LoVe, the 2021 Winnebago View 24V. Happy trails everyone... see you all out there xoxoxo
Love your honest opinions! It helps everyone looking into these rigs and configurations! Keep doing it if you can!
When you're a solo traveler, the configuration is perfect.đ I hate that the RV industry doesn't give you a two beds option.
I have a 2022 59KL. The K & L denote the two different floor plans. K = two single beds. G = single rear bed (About the size of a full mattress. L = denotes the van is equipped with Lithium Batteries. No "L" means regular Lead batteries. Those "Floating Pillows" when used with the table and those bars you showed in the storage area under the mattress turn the two singles into one large bed roughly measuring 72" wide x 80" long (on the passenger side at least. (I paused the video while I commented, then I resumed the video and you discovered the full bed option. LOL). DO NOT CLIMB ON THE LADDER WHEN DOOR MOUNTED? It is only for storing during transport. The ladder is designed to be used on the driver side of the van only. The single bolt at the bottom of the ladder will bend making it difficult to remove and replace the ladder. I learned this the hard way.
Having your wife reload the RV so you can get âthe shotâ...đ
No, we had to move our things outside so we could stand.
I think Marc and Trish work well together and take great care of each other, he would never expect her to work beyond her limit.
He can set up the camera to get âany shotâ, including himself reloading the RV !
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 true. It was a joke as he is always saying someone has to film.
Another GREAT video with great analysis, advice and information !!! Thanks so much for putting out continuously high quality videos, both technically and information-wise. And, hey, you guys are entertaining, too. ;-)
â€Bob. What a great addition to the household, especially since the kids are growing & leaving the nest.
And we can really relate to your comments re why you RV. We're gypsies at heart & love travelling & seeing things across America. Our overseas travels tho are "RV-less". We've rented cars & travelled on our own rather than with a tour so we can go where we want & stop when we want.
Love your videos and adventures. We have a nuCamp Tab 400 Boondock that has a dedicated queen bed and separate dinning space and galley. So, not all teardrop campers need reconfiguring and that's why we chose our Tab 400. Thanks for the learnings that you share, keep the videos coming.
Thank you so much for sharing all of this information with us. Weâll be leaving Alaska next year. We have a lot to think about as far as a rig. For two adults and three small children
I think the biggest thing that shocked me about the difference between the 3 that you guys rented was when doing research about which type I wanted to buy the number 1 stark difference was price. Class A's where I live(for a used one ran about 50k) even nice ones. Class C's were between 40-90k(used) and Class B's the smallest were well over 100k used! We ended up with a Class C and while I would say the A's seem way nicer to drive, they also seem too long for me to drive by myself. I'm with Trish that I would be too afraid. We ended up with a 25 foot which was the best of all worlds for us. Short enough for me to drive it, sleeps up to 6, but also great for just my son and I. Thank you guys for all the amazing info you give us!
I love my Mercedes sprinter class c with 2 slides. Best of both worlds between easy driving and parking, dry camping and rv parks!
A really helpful video and timely as we reviewed what we saw at an RV dealer today.
As always, a very informative video. We've had pop-up campers, cabin tents (after the pop up = more room in the cabin tent with 4 kids), 2 5th wheels, and 2 trailers. Your comment about know your mission so you can get the right RV for you is spot on. We're now looking at getting a truck camper (Host Yukon) and down sizing from our 41' 5th wheel. Kids are all grown up and gone, and like a van, a truck camper can park anywhere. A big truck camper (like a Host Yukon) must put it's slides out to function inside it (not so with a van), so like everything in RVing, like you said you need to know your mission and what your willing to compromise for and then get the RV that fits what you want to do. We want to go to remote places our 5th wheel just can't get to so a truck camper is in our future plans.
Love your channel. We are new Van Lifers, if thatâs the term, haha. So it was nice to see this review! Thanks!
Sandra Westley from the UK I couldnât agree more, I hate the solitude places be bored ridged, I donât like loads of people over busy, but I enjoy people watching and speaking to people and just watching life. I would hate absolutely hate to boondock, in the middle of no where with nobody around I just wouldnât sleep or feel safe. I prefer to pay for good facilities on site, like when we have been travelling through France or Spain we like 5 star sites with lovely pools. Everyone to there own.
You guys have such awesome videos. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels.
Love both of your guysâ personality and upbeat attitude during your tour. Honest and raw opinions and super insightful regarding Marcâs point about the different distinction of the type of RVâer (solitude vs city surrounding) youâre listening to and getting information from. Great motor home series and definitely learned a lot from you both. Looking forward to the much waited upcoming series đ€©đ€!!
I can't wait for what season 10 has in store for us, love yall 3000!
Hey There! As you are driving a smaller vehicle in the class B, have you ever considered attaching a mini trailer with a bike rack on top of it. A nice fiberglass trailer can be moved by hand into the site to give you sealed locked storage. Thanks for the wonderful tour of Arizona. Now I have to figure out how much to save to check that one off my bucket list!
This is a really good review. I appreciate all the info and thoughts you two shared.

Totally agree with your assessment. Lived full-time in my Travato GL for just over a year. Was great for moving around and getting to trail heads and staying out of campgrounds. Was also good for street camping in a lot of urban settings. But if I'd continued to full-time I would have wanted something bigger, likely a towable so I could slow down my travels. At the end of the day living in a van feels like living in a van no matter how many windows it has. Next time you want a Travato you should rent mine, I include all the touches of "home" that I use personally. Makes for a much nicer renter experience. đ
I would highly recommend anyone thinking of buying a Class B, to also try a small Class C ( 22-25 ft). You can park both practically anywhere, but you get a real bathroom and more living/storage space. Also, if a small Class C on Ford or Chevy chassis, significantly less costly. Ask Matt! Again, great review, thanks.
Our family of 5 have crossed the country 3 times in a class B. It was awesome
Love watching your videos. Trishâs comment of find something now and get out the hot home with my wife. So we are looking at RVs for us to get. But financially we have to wait before getting one. So the prep starts now for some of the essentials. But I think we have our sights on the Grand Design Reflection 150 31MB. Fits our family and shouldnât cost half my liver either.
