$190,000. Just breathtakingly unaffordable for the vast majority of RV’ers. So little value to be found in our pastime anymore. 😕
At this price point, I’d rather buy a condo
Very nice. It’s expensive and no A/C though.
AC is an option you can add
This van oozes SportsMobile and FUN!!!
Thanks for the tour.
You're welcome - Field Van was started by the family who was running Sportsmobile West and decided to do their own thing.
I like the low roof with pop top, but the price is unobtainium. I thought the Revel was too much and this is a lot more. Sticking with my truck and trailer which together were under $15k and I won’t cry if I pinstripe it. And I have 50 gallons of hot hot water to shower under. Well, one time, then I would have to dump and fill.
Yeah that would be a hard set up to give up and a great bargain
I absolutely love this van! Would prefer the Ford Transit model but will definitely check them out further.
They'll build this on a Transit!
Reminds me of the VW camper , that’s my dream camper, love the penthouse!!!!!
They actually started with VWs back in the day!
I like the open interior. Looks well put together. Low profile might let one garage it and would have less problem driving in high cross winds than a high profile van. The pop top would be great esp in non-winter camping. We liked the pop top in our old Eurovan when the kids were little. For the list price of $190,000, i like our AWD Transit Storyteller Model LT better and it was purchased at a lower cost vs the Field.
Great review Joe, hope you enjoyed the camping!
It was a great time - thank you again!
Nice- price is not that bad. Class B's are $144k to $225k - so it's on par with the big manufacturers. Class A's can be a quarter million and not give the adventure of a B.
Very true
Can't wait to see the next video !
It will be a good one
This the one for me thanks
Love it
Great flexibility and openess, the poptop has options many don't offer in the market
That they do!
Great van build I have a 4x4 sprinter thanks for the vid
No problem 👍
I usually don’t care for pop-tops, but I actually like this model! Being 5’5” tall, I could probably standup in that baby with the top down 👍🏼
Cheers as always 🥂🖖🏼
You definitely could. It would be an interesting change from the Roadtrek you had.
Awesome
GREAT looking van, nice job RUSSOS.
Thanks Scott 👍
It's a great looking unit on the outside.
It definitely draws eyes!
It’s a great model. I guess it’s pretty expensive, but it’s so well done.
This builder shows promise:) I can see a non 4x4 low roof without penthouse for stealth:)
They’ll build whatever you want
Fun trip in the popup top van. Looking forward to more midwestern van trips. Hey, by the way, a video of you teaching Kait how to fix a chainsaw, etc in your garage would be neat. Just thinking about all those cooking lessons she has done but could surely be a mechanic too
Thanks for the suggestion!
Looks like a very similar layout as the Green Machine Sportsmobile.
Do they have a model with shower or heat/AC/fan options? The view from the penthouse is sweet! 🤩
They make complete custom vans so you can get those options but maybe not all in the pop top because of some limitations. You’d have to call and ask
Edit: just checked with them an AC is an option
funmobile!
For what you get, it's a good value even at $190M. The ability to seat 5 and sleep 4 sets it apart for its size class. Great review!
Agreed! Thank you 😀
$190M?
Million?
190 million is not a good value.
Maybe 190K, but not 190M.
M stands for one thousand, MM would be one million (1000 x 1000)@@wolfshanze5980
Cool van and beautiful lake...Where did you record that video?
Thanks! It’s a bit of a secret spot in Nevada
I have a roof top tent… I can put a tent on the deck that’s on my roof :D
I love this conversion. But wow, that price doesn’t make sense for me.
Nice Van, but l'm a fan of the Classic. It is a cool alternative. Looking forward to see the next Video........why you two didn't buy the "Green Beast"? 😊
The Beast wasn’t for sale unfortunately and it was a year and a half wait for the next one
@@Weretherussos Oh, that's a long time.
Need a garage, the summit s1 has storage for small items but not sufficient for bikes, skis, not a fan of the portable toilet solution
They make models with bathrooms and garages. They will also custom build vans
That would be a good rig to get you totally odd the beaten path. Would b a good size for me. I keep going between a flatbed 4Wheel camper or a van of this size.
Being solo female, I like the idea of having access to the cab without having to go outside. I haven't found a truck camper where I can pass thru the truck tear slidding window. I've also thought of getting a canopy with pop-up tent that u access from inside & building it out. Having a full-size 4 door 4x4 allies me to remove the backseat to store more gear & supplies as well as adding an additional water tank & fridge freezer for longer adventures. I'd like to use Chevys elec truck
I do not like the idea of the $200k price tag
I also like the fact that all of the latches for the pop top are inside the camper and not outside which can be a pain when it's raining, etc.
Very similar to Modvans.
Sems like a very sutable van for all sorts of camping life not least for stelthcamping! Romy and jet not over done that meny European and American motor home and RV seems to bee. And offcorse price after that. But as I understand it, the meaning is to bee outdoor and then fix food and cash to bed. Luxery life on the road i don't think is nessesarry for the most pepole. 🕊🇸🇪
I'm short, but not good for taller people. Also, with a poptop, what happens if it rains and you need to drop it to drive?
No problem with the rain and it’s fine for y’all people. When we had our pop top we’d just pop the top when we got to our destination and let it dry (assuming the rain had stopped).
Eye want dat....❤
Field vs. STO...that is the question.
That's very dependent on what you're looking for as those two are completely different beasts. STO is sold through dealers nationwide with one floor plan and multiple chassis' it can be built on and no options. Field Van is based and sold in Fresno, CA and Reno, NV. They can be completely custom built and even their "standard" floor plans can be modified with all different options. STO checks all of some people's boxes but for those who don't companies like Field Van will build something to suit you - but it will take time. That said, if you want a low roof or extended van, Field van would be the way to go since STO doesn't build on either.
Agree! Deciding which beast would be most appropriate is the hard part. @@Weretherussos
Looks very nice, but I’d rather just have that top put on a mid height Transit. Then I would do a different layout in the van.
They do make those
@@Weretherussos I saw that at the end of your vid, after I made my comment. But thanks for the response! I really like the Transit platform, but the high roof seems like it might not be so great in strong crosswinds. So the mid height seems better in that regard, but lacks the higher roof, of course. But that pop top can give the best of Both worlds. A lower profile when driving, and all the height you need when you’re parked, plus second story sleeping. Win/win/win! Thanks for the nice vid. Just watched the one where you two stayed in it for 72 hours too. Always gets me into that wanderlust feeling when I watch these vids. You do a good job on your vids. But I do have to say that it’s nice when Kait is in them too. She brings a lighter, and slightly more cheerful tone. You two make a good team!
I’d say I doubt you’d notice any difference with the wind. It’s not bad and once you’re used to driving the van you don’t notice unless you’re going through one of the plains states. The mid roof is great because you can get the pop top vs not on the high roof
@@Weretherussos Thank you for the useful feedback!
Nice love it all they do but over priced ugh ! Selling point lost me …. Sorry
$185 thousand US$ ouch....
Love everything but the price. The price is just to high.
Way to expensive!
Where's the fifth person going to sleep? 🤔
Depends - if three are all kids, they can take the penthouse.
The Luno cab bed is a great option for a 5th as well.
$190G ?? No way
No insulation for the roof part. Thats insane! Is it for only California? Horrible
190,000 and no air conditioning! This market is for high rollers only. Why don’t you review a product the masses could afford?
We have…Dealers are selling these in 90k range. czcams.com/video/Sa6s57364to/video.htmlsi=9k278rv8RIcDP0l2
Way too expensive
you can just make payments and just sell it later..a lot of people realize this after the fact of buying the Class B and try to rent them out later on a rental app
Plz don’t let ur channel become an infomercial
If the camper walk throughs aren’t your thing, what type of videos are you interested in?
@@Weretherussos travel adventure but if u think ur audience likes the walk thrus I can certainly filter those out. Really enjoy most of ur vids🙂
Thanks for the feedback! The walk through videos are our most popular types of videos. The travel stuff is fun to do but a lot more work and they get a fraction of the views but we’ll continue to make them. I’ll be curious to know what you think about this Fridays video where we live out of this van for 72 hrs
@@bigd6663 wondering if funding a youtuber with gas money and oil change cost would be helpful to them in making the decision to do a travel trip.
@@Weretherussos I like the walk through videos personally.
Over priced for no privacy shower or bath room
Too much money…
Love it
