    Although they’re both great vehicles there’s no way I’d survive without a toilet & bathroom. The best part is that you travelled together a lot & therefore had the best of both! 👍

  • @JimCockerham

      Factory interior fit-outs can (very often)
      destroy-them-selves on Alaskan roads,
      much of the stuff from the "mainstream" converters
      (often in Indiana)
      is NOT robust enough in the ROUGH.
      German, South African (Sud Afrikan), & Australian, conversions
      are often vastly more robust in service,
      even if somewhat less "ornate".

    This was a great video! Loved it!
    I have been full timing for 6 years in Coaches, Started with a 35' and now have a 40' with slide-outs.
    I figured I would add RV comparisons for your viewers.
    Coach: 40' 2004 Georgie Boy
    Cost: $29,000
    Size: 40' x 8' = 320 sq Feet with slides closed
    40' x 11' = 440 sq Feet with slides open
    Living Height: 6' 11"
    Handeling: Poor when it comes to really bumpy roads.
    MPG: V8 gas engine. 5-6 MPG
    Stealth: NONE :)
    Pros: All the living and storage space you could want, Can tow car for separate excursions. Full sized rooms and bathroom. On-board Generator, large holding tanks (can be offgrid for a month without filling or dumping)
    Cons: No stealth camping (don't care), MPG, can't camp in tight areas.
    But I love it every day.

  • @tittyskillet3413
    @tittyskillet3413 Před 5 lety +1

    Few questions for Trent:
    1. what was the total cost of your build out, on top of the $34k purchase?
    2. Did you do that work yourself?
    3. Did you add solar? AC? Roof ventilation.
    I love your rig, and this would be the way I would go too. Buy new. V-6 gasoline for max mpg. Do my own buildout. Def add a bath. Rig for max stealth.

  • @JosephPuplava

  • @tonymontana3742
    @tonymontana3742 Před 5 lety +1

    If both vehicles put on 50,000 miles the depreciation of the Pro Master would likely be around $10 to $12 thousand dollars. While the bus well maintained might just sell for it's original price. The bus is a good deal if you can tolerate its shortcomings and the Pro Master is a good deal if you can tolerate the depreciation of a new vehicle.

  • @tammytroche1624
    @tammytroche1624 Před 2 lety

    ‘m not going to lie, our reason for going for a bus vs a van was the rig price alone. The van we would go for was starting at $20,000 and that’s now our budget for a completely renovated bus. We got our bus for $6,500, and it’s got SO MUCH ROOM!!!!!

    Excellent comparison. I really want a pro master. We bought a new 2018 Grand Caravan in October, I couldn't talk the hubby into a pro master. My gas mileage in town is 16-17, and 22+ on the highway. Van was 35k, with options I really didn't need. I may try to camp a bit out of it this summer but sure wish I could build out a promaster. I think Trent and Allies van is perfect.
