The honor is all ours!! Thank you so much for field testing our Noovo Plus and for spending some time with us in Las Vegas. You guys rock!
Thanks for letting us field test it! It was an honor and we loved the whole Noovo team! Quality vans and quality people.
Noovovans, this is going to be a great addition to the Class B market. We currently have the new RAM Promaster chassis now and LOVE it. The Noovo has lots of storage in kitchen, great frig, love the bed that lowers, big water tank, great battery system, awning windows are awesome, sink is deep. I'd use a stool in lieu of that ladder. I'd suggest a roll down screen instead of that slider screen. While attractive, that type does not hold up well. Would suggest flipping with window shades over so screen is on top and privacy shade on bottom. Great work!
Any propane? Or is everything heated by gasoline?
Please do not advertise it as the first 7 ft. interior. I am currently an owner of an almost identical layout with the Euro loft bed!!!! It's a 2020 Regency Explore SPT. It has a smaller bathroom to accommodate a forward-facing bench seat with two seat belts behind the driver. This is superb when taking extra adults who like to look out the front and be part of the conversation; there are seat belts in back on the couch also (so sleeps four but carries six).
@@robertaaparker We are referring to being the first on the 7ft interior RAM PROMASTER chassis!
I like idea of bathroom sink. Do not like brushing teeth or washing hands after using bathroom in kitchen sink. Van is beautiful and great use of space.
We love our Entegra Ethos. We have the same dash setup as that one. This is the first setup in a true B that you’ve toured that would entice me to consider trading up. The layout is great.
Now, if we could get this in AWD or 4x4, my wife is going to get tired of hearing about it.😊
I would like screen windows available for the drop down bed. We’d not be comfortable sleeping with the back door open in many circumstances. Maybe if the bed dropped down further, the existing windows would work to get a cross breeze and the tv could be accessed.
I'm over 6'5"... or about 195 cm... I'm dual national , French and American. So...Yeah! Love it!
I would have the fridge door open toward the kitchen prep area with the hinges on the right. I agree with a couple other comments: no need for a sink in the bathroom; I would rather have the space, and would prefer either a portable cooktop to have the option of cooktop or counter space, or maybe a cover for the cooktop to have counter space and save drawer space. Nice layout, and appears to be quality work. Thank you for the tour!
Bob agrees about the fridge door. Thanks for watching!
Wow very intrigued, especially as a full timer currently in a Rise 18m who is looking for more space and sick to death of making up the bed. My only suggestion to Noovo as an average height woman is to take out one of the drawers under the fridge to bring the microwave down. Even with the movable step that's too high for petite people.
All of that AND a spare tire underneath...outstanding.
👏👏👏
I would make it so you could watch the TV in bed- otherwise it’s awesome! I hope they give a propane option. I LOVE the fridge/freezer
Good suggestion!
Love that you can sleep more than 2. With this van we can travel with our grandkids 😊
Absolutely!!
❤❤❤ That is gorgeous. The height, the way the bed is stored. It's perfect.
We agree! ❤️
I absolutely been looking for something exactly like this finally. Now to get the price right for my budget
Love this one, my son is 6'6" and would actually be comfortable in this.
Awesome!
I am blown away! We have a 2024 Thor sanctuary on the 23 Mercedes sprinter…. I have overall loved our van…. But this….🤯
Right!!!
🚨👏👏.... Congratulations....You just embarrassed the whole American Class B manufacturing companies who have been here for years .....
This company has delivered neat work on the wiring & quality control & materials....You can actually see the dedication, commitment towards a product the people will love...Great job....
The question is -- I see high demand coming, can they turn out the orders that are on the way quick enough....I wish them best of luck....They might just be seeing me soon ..
Hahaha! They have 25 employees, so I think they can keep up with demand. It's such a wonderful van.
The most excellent B camper van I have ever seen. Just amazing and all around camping and regular driving van.
We agree!
Great review. I love the quality of the Nouvo, the induction cooktop, cassette toilet and NO propane! I hope they make this in a non high version. We’re all short so height isn’t an issue for us and we don’t have a need for the drop down bed as cool as it looks.
Sorry typo, noovo.
I just saw the very end of the video and they have a “short” version. I can’t wait to check it out.
Awesome!
Can you say wind sail. My sprinter van high top was almost blown over in Montana. I get that people like my self 6’3” need head room. I think it’s dangerous personally. Love the layout though.
I’m not trying to be a hater, I’m speaking from experience.
Love your show.
FYI, it is the exact same overall height as a high roof Sprinter AWD.
That's scary. That was a concern of ours and we drove in very windy conditions. Our experience was that it handed it well.
Finally some innovation in the classB space!
Sweet looking right!
@@Vancaskeys I actually saw one parked in a Seattle driveway yesterday. I thought to myself- is that in production yet? Someone must know someone....
@@Rashnak66 oh no way! Very cool!!!
Thank you, Hillary, Bob and Noovo. What a phenomenal intersection of design, innovation, quality and common sense. If executed well, this could not only raise the roof, but also "raise the bar" on Class B vanlife! 😉 You guys are the perfect people to put this through it's paces. Can't wait for the next chapter of vandrama! 😅
❤🙏👍🏼😊🤗
Thanks, Joe! You appreciate you!
I really love this van. I agree the ladder needs to be revamped. I have super bad knees and that just wouldn’t work. Wider steps that ramp out further would be so much better. Old folks like me, need stability. I am a big fan of cassette toilets. One recommendation would be to make a larger grab handle to get in to the van. The spare tire is absolutely a star feature. This van is a win for sure.
what a stunning van!! The microwave is a bit high for me at 5ft tall but lovvvvve the bed!!
I can see that being to tall for you! Thank you!
This is a nice van, but being 5’2” I would need a step ladder to get to the controls. I love the lithium, induction cooktop and 12v fridge.
Totally get it! They have two other options that are not on the super high chassis.
When they have completed the changeover from prototype to production models, i hope that they also include cab window screens that totally black out the cab area and/or a flexible insulated partition between the cab and the rest of the van that also creates a totally blacked out capability for privacy. The shower screen is open at the bottom when pulled out and needs to be in a tighter track so shower water won't splash under the screen and onto the kitchen floor area. They will also need to be careful where they mount the sink in the shower area. Beautiful prototype van and excellent video as always!
So psyched that you guys are reviewing the Plus! Fell in love with it earlier this week (online of course) and being 6'4" makes this a dream rig for me. I'm off to buy lottery tickets!
Hahaha! Same! We fell in love! It’s meets all our Tall needs!
Hey Bob and Hillary, great video. Very nice looking van. Very clean and well put together for sure. Wonderful presentation.
Thank you!
AWESOME!!! It's a beautiful van with very high end components. Looking forward to next week's video.
Awww thanks Patti! ❤️
Yes!!!!!!!! That would be MY number ONE van choice. The best floorplan
Right!!! Agree!
It looks like an amazing design… I really like the U-shaped lounge and the great windows. While the height allows for that drop down bed, I am not as tall as you, so would love that floor plan with a pop-top bed for a lower roof line, but the fixed factory roof is probably a good thing long-term.
Sweet!
I can't wait to see the finished product this fall!
👏👏👏
Wow! I see a lot to love here, especially the elevated bed, the large bathroom, and the refrigerator/freezer.
Yes! ❤️
You did a great job showing me this van. I love this noovo really perks my interest.
Glad you like it!
I just noticed pictures of this van online a few days ago and was impressed by it. Great looks and functionality from the looks of it!
Very cool!
I saw two other things that they might wish to change: 1. When the bed is in the up position, the foot of the bedding is unsightly. They could put a lightweight pull-down shade across the end of that space to hide the bed while not in use. 2. A counter extender could be put on the other side of the stovetop to raise or lower while cooking for more counter space.
Agree on both points.
Your channel is great. I love watching it each week.
Wow, thank you! 😊 we appreciate you!
That's beautiful ! thanks for posting ..
My pleasure!
This van is awesome!! My suggestion would be to have an option to bring the bed down to the level in the prototype and all the way down to the lounge, with a ladder that would be flexible for both heights. Especially for us Gen Xers, nice to have a shorter trip down to the bathroom. Also, any chance or a skylight in the bathroom?? The details in this van are just right. Love the curves, deep sink, fridge at proper height (and separate freezer!). Bonne chance Noovo! You have a great product. Will have a look a you when we are in the market next year.
I do love the details, like the backsplash (do B vans typically come with backsplashes?) and as y’all mentioned, rounded, non bruising corners. The decor is more residential than rv’ish. How refreshing! Beautiful while functional rig. Ready to see where y’all take it next week!
You're right this truly is fantastic van.
👏👏👏
Very interesting concept to make it taller to accommodate the bed lift. That is really the big innovation to me. Embassy is innovative too and they just launched a b+. I think this one is very very interesting for exactly the reason Bob mentioned. No issue with the bed.
Very nice! I really like the bed system! Thanks for sharing! 👍
You are welcome!
I love vans always have since the 70s. But the vans of today are on a whole other level. Like this one you guys are reviewing . Its so amazing love it.
Yes...they stepped up the Van Game!
I’m in love already! Sign me up. I’ve been looking for years for the perfect van to retire in.
Yes!
Nice Van. I am team black tank all the way though. I would also like to thank Bob for the idea to put an Aluminess Box on the back of my Nova. Although I did create at least 5 new cuss words during the mounting process. I studied your video hard since there isn't much out there showing how to mount it it and when it came, they had changed the mount.....
Bahahahaha! You made my day. Glad I’m not alone in the cussing putting it on 😂😂😂
That's really cool! Fridge is a good size too.
👏👏👏
Wow, this thing is amazing!
It really is!
Ok so this van hits every single want and need on my list. My only concern as a full timer is that I need more storage space on the outside. And for the price, I could get a B+ or C which will give me the space I need. I won’t deny that it is very tempting because it is beautiful with an excellent design.
Love the Van, and you guys do a great job at reviewing it. Can't wait for the 24hr Gas Station video. Makes me think about upgrading our 2019 Travato :)
Thanks Russ!!! Yeah it’s a doozy 😂
Certainly heading in the right direction. So many companies are not. Great video and review. We will wait to see more.
Thanks for watching!
Nice job on the review of that gorgeous van. Happy to see that they put the cook top right in front of the slider... makes more sense to position it where potentially you can get more ventilation and possibly safer. Great job.
Thanks!! 😊 👍
@@Vancaskeys 😊
I like the looks of this van. I would prefer the induction cook be able to just sit on the counter so you could move it when prepping to cook. Does the bed have a manual override option in case you can't raise or lower it? Those swivel seats looked like the easiest to turn around of any I have seen. I guess now Bob has to get a second job so you guys can afford to purchase this. 🤣 Maybe they should make a Vancaskey addition and call it the Noovo-Vancaskey
We love our Roadtrek but this has everything I would like on our van. If they were combined it would be perfect.
Right!
This is definitely a game changer in our camper van shopping.
Same!
Noovo is so lucky to have you guys doing the review of their van. That Victron/Lithionics system is nice. I hope they keep that for production models.
Thanks so much!!!
That is a beautiful van/home xx
❤️❤️❤️
Really impressed! Also can’t wait to see final product. Love the Rixen system! Hydronic heat is so much nicer!
👏👏👏
I like this and the Dolphin B+ from Embassy. I video comparison of those 2 would be great.
Noovo got it right. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Agree!
❤❤❤❤ This Camper Van.
❤️❤️❤️
nice looking van and I love the height! although the drop down bed would have to go! I would raise the u shaped dinette up at least 12 inches making a larger cargo space at the back and add a few drawers in the dinette for clothing. Make a step up into the dinette so the step can act as more storage. the kitchen cupboards should be used for kitchen stuff only lol the u-shape dinette makes more sense as it can be a twin bed model or a king-size bed! just uses thicker more comfortable foam for the mattress. Other than that great looking van!!
I love all of it but don’t add a sink in the bathroom! It wastes so much space.
We agree! No sink team!
The shower door looks a little janky and see through. Needs some modification…
The Frig and freezer doors should open towards the kitchen (right hand swing).
That’s awesome
❤️
Love this van
Same!
Wow guys, great review! I sent you a message last week when I seen this van by one of the reps. I knew that this would be your dream machine! Lenny T. (Ohio). We got our first RV last year, and Snowbird in Mesa AZ for 8 months. Take care!
Right on!
I love the super high top. Too bad Amazon is likely buying them all up. That is a beautiful build and it looks like a lot of overall attention has been taken on all points. Nice Job! I would see if a NovaCool dual compressor refer/freezer (Huge) could be optioned as well as a dry flush toilet, where there are several brands. Consider reviewing an Embassy RV in Elkhart, IN. Zero wood builds on all three manufacturer vans. See Terry Minix V.P. He likely would give a factory tour.
The is the EXACT van Ive been wanting!! I couldn’t be happier you both reviewed it. If you two like it, I know it’s legit. Love the starlink, love the quality and details, love they’re adding a sink in bathroom, hopefully will have a shampoo holder or something too. My only suggestion is maybe a Velcro strip or something to keep the cushions in their spot, over time it looks like if they slide off even half an inch, the table would have a hard time getting past them. Thanks for the detailed tour! Perfect layout IMO!
Awesome!!
The removable storage behind the driver seat they should put magnets in it and the wall so it will not slide while driving.
Hillary we are on vacation in France and have seen many RVs here love the one you were able to experience. Our dream vacation ends on sat
Awesome! So lucky!
Loved your video. The quality is fantastic. Be interesting next week High on my list. Length?
Great job you two ❤
Thank you!!
Wow I'm sold!! Bob I agree with you about the living/sleeping area. And that they have made excellent choices with components, Victron. We have a Travato but love what Noovo are doing. I could be convinced to trade. = - )
Haha...us too!
Wow… I love this van! I just bought one but I’m thinking trade-in already! 😂
Haha! It is such a great van!
I was telling my wife that I'm glad I'm not super tall (5' 9 3/4) and that I'm able to stand comfortably in our Jayco Terrain 19Y. However ask any of our friends who are closer to 6'4...not happening lol 😅 Awesome van and very much needed for people who are tall but also for people who don't want to feel cramped. With this Noovo company, maybe they offer a configuration with more of a garage. I load my kids' dirt bikes to my garage with very solid L track and then lower the bed a tad and load an additional 110 pounds of cargo while driving.
Interesting. 👍🏾
Thanks for watching! 😃
Nice..I’d leave the sink out.
Great design and quality, just like your old Thor 18T, huh?
Very nice van & love the layout with the spacious livingroom area/bedroom & the high ceilings! Too bad it’s not on a Ford Chassis. I assume it’s not AWD?
Thanks for sharing this video. Always love your honest reviews!
Leave the sink in the bath. It’s useful for its purpose. These campers like any others are not meant for huge space which is a compromise I don’t mind. Heck you’re camping! It’s ok to take a 5 min shower no biggie. I like grumpy teeth too in the bathroom sink. @noovovans tre bien!
crazy that ladder doesn't just come out of the bottom of the bed and fold down... i wish they could put the bathroom in the back and the bed and seats in the front
You guessed exactly what they plan to do! They will put the ladder at the end of the bed. Great guess!
I have a class c that I'd like to down size to a van promaster.
I just want my build to be very functional without all the flair! I cant see paying $178K...
I can do without all the bells and whistles. I've seen it done here on CZcams. I do seem to recall theirs came in at under 60K..... And it's a very clean build. Paying any price over 90K is a waist of your hard earned money!!!!
Nice review. Thanks.
The electric table is actually irritatingly slow; ditto bed raise speed, especially if you have to keep holding the button down.
However, I do like how the table sides fold away for more sitting space.
Yes, a cutting board type cooktop cover is essential to not crack the glass
Great fridge/freezer combo but think it needs to open both ways.
You're back...I was gonna send the cavalry
Agree ... I was getting a bit worried.
So sweet that you noticed!
You could easily use a small compact folding ladder instead of a
Duel door opening fridge. Tv accessibility from bed down position. Better ladder. Windows accessibility from bed down position.
Excellent tour on a great van…they obviously listened to what customers have been asking for. Just curious if the air conditioning was able to cool the couch area with the bed up? Their Lite is also a beautiful van especially for those who need more storage .
I love the van. I just didn’t like how the Mrs hit her back on the ceiling there getting up on the bed. Ouch. 😣 I wish it could’ve been lowered about a foot more with a small feet friendly step stool to go up n down. ❤ Great video!
I like the floor plan esdpecially for tall people. But do you see see yourselves owning another front wheel drive. Maybe,you can get a deal on the proto type.
Well with this layout we would do the FWD. What we figured out is you just can never find 100% the perfect RV/van lol
Wow! I like! Does it have a generator?
If they could switch the window shades so that the shade is on the bottom to provide some privacy and screen on top
Would also be nice to be able to view the tv from the 12v bed and a convection microwave
Very nice and love the layout. I'm just a little scared with it starting at 178k I'm wondering what one with some other bells and whistles might be. Safe Travels
That is an absolutely awesome/beautiful/functional van. Question, how do we get the specs / features on the specific chassis? How comfortable and adjustable is the driver’s seat for leaning back some (Not sleeping but for long-drives I need to lean back for a bit, sit straight, and in between). If I had one item to change I think I would request removing the cabinet directly behind the driver or if you are gaining a bit of space from the revision of the shower put it there for the driver to have adjustment room. Will these be in dealerships or only available directly? And will you be replacing “Mr. Lemon” with one of these?
Fabulous well designed van, looks European. You look like Cheshire cats!
Thanks! 😃
Very nice. SO when are you getting it?
I think you have indeed found the perfect van! But you didn't mention the projected price of it, which might damper things. Fit, finish and rounded corners like that don't come cheap. Perhaps you can be a brand ambassador and buy the first one that rolls off the production line like the Fit RV did with the first EKKO.
My only issue with it - and it's common in vans - is how high up the microwave is. It's way up - even for you it was about head high. For me it would be way over my head - very dangerous. Taking steaming food from over my head, I've spilled hot stuff on me. But that's the price of that huge gorgeous fridge. I guess I'd accept that trade-off!
It looks like you've upgraded your Nespresso machine to the Pixie! I've had mine since 2017 - our hotel in London had one and I fell in love - and it's been in use several times a day ever since then with no issues. It's a little workhorse.
Hey guys. Love the Noovo! It's perfect for you. Is this gonna replace Mr Lemon?
It’s such a great van! At this point no. They are only for preorder and they have a ton of preorders for the fall. But you never know. It’s definitely one of our top favorites.
Dovetail drawers too. Looks high end like a Leisure travel van. I am 5'8 so I don't need the church ceiling 😜 Does this van/layout only come in that highest roof? I love the price point, very competitive under 200k, considering the high quality. How long?
Gorgeous van! Potential replacement of Mr. Lemon? 😉
Not at this point but you never know 😃
I like the lifting bed platform but i’m curious why there is a second bed option below. It doesn’t look like you could use both at the same time (guests) can you? Is the upper height adjustable? Can you lower the bed enough that you don’t even need the ladder? Love the 400 watts of solar, that’s actually a useful amount. From what i’ve read, the Promaster has a nine speed transmission but gears eight and nine are locked out, you can’t use them. Spare tire underneath is a bonus, Nevada, where we live, has some very harsh, lonely roads without cell coverage and having a spare would give peace of mind. We ordered our Coachmen Nova Promaster with the LED headlights, once you experience LED headlights everything else is like using a flashlight from the 1970’s. Anyway thanks guys for sharing your observations
You're basically working for them for free. Still I like to see new vans.
LOL. It’s a win win for both of us. We get to try out their new van for a few days and make a video and they get the exposure. We love it. 😊
I dont like it. I LOVE IT😊
Woot! Woot!!!!
This van looks great. Do they have a 4x4 option, too?
