    So, #1 is thanks for the tip about the “can’t locate the key” message. We’ll try that. It seems we can only drive if the key is placed in the little cubby. I have a VW and I LOVE the fact that I can leave my key in my purse. Not having to dig for a key has changed my life! #2 For two people camping, I think the 4 seats is wasted space. There should be an option for three, then you could have your closet. Or,the additional seats could be removable. If you only need them once in a while when you have guests, it’s not worth the space. IMO. Thanks for the tour!

    • @LivinRVision
      @LivinRVision  Před rokem

      We thought the same thing for a long time but then realized if you just unlock all of the doors it will start.
      Exactly, which is what we say a lot about not being worth it. For some it may be just what they are looking for though.

    Some friends of mine bought a brand new Jayco class C and within a week they got the regulator recall, the "SS" kitchen sink started rusting and there was a whole list of other things that needed fixing. It sat in the Camping World parking lot for 2 months waiting to be repaired. They keep saying they where waiting for parts. They gave up and went and picked it up. They open the door and the new sink and regulator where sitting on the floor. He fixed every thing his self in about 1 hour.

What video equipment, drones, cameras, phones, etc. do you use to get the best quality videos, because your vlogs are just beautiful. I’m obviously new to all this so just not even sure what to ask you about to get started. Maybe you can do a video of how you got started and what equipment you use, that would be an awesome video.

      Yes, that is correct. If you go to GrechRV.com and click “models”, you can see all the models. We were just in this for a few days and decided to do a quick review, not necessarily to mention everything and all the models available. They truly do have a great product. 👍🏻

  • @titomesserli26
    @titomesserli26 Před rokem +3

    We picked up our Grech Terreno-Ion “Tour” back in August. Exact floor plan as your Strada-Ion Tour, just shorter. You can get both floor plans in either the Strada or Terreno. We went with the Terreno due to its shorter length knowing the rear storage was less, and we chose the “Tour” floor plan since we wanted the wardrobe and larger refrigerator. Also one correction, you stated a shorter wheelbase than the Strada. They are both are built on the same 170” wheel base chassis, the Strada is simply the extended version with the extra 2 ft hanging over the rear. Also, although they state the Terreno is 22ft, the label inside the driver side door says 277.5”. So I measured it from bumper to bumper, and yup, it’s 23ft, not 22ft, so not sure why Grech says 22ft. And as you stated, although we have only had it out a few times so far we have had zero issues with it other than a few settings in the Inverter/Charger that were set wrong. Our Dealer simply would not respond you our questions so I called Grech directly, and I was speaking with a person in less than a minute who then walked me through correcting the settings through the firefly control panel. Excellent support!
    We love it so far!

      @@gt-c- we chose the Terreno due to its shorter length, and although the Strada looks great it does seem a bit long in the rear, just like the Airstream Interstate which we also,looked at. However, you do lose a substantial amount of storage above and behind the couch. Also, as we discovered, at least on our Terreno, the chassis, I.e. the Mercedes end of the deal did not have a number of features we were expecting. Why? We test drove a Strada since our dealer (Washington) did not have a Terreno, it was brought up from Oregon for us. We assumed, our fault, the only difference was the length. We should had verified the expected features 0n the Terreno’s chassis before they brought it up to us. But, not a big deal really, we love the Terreno so far.

      @@gt-c- as far as chassis features, we did not order our Terreno, so it came with whatever Grech ordered for its Terreno’s at the time, which we thought was the same for its Strada. I am sure if you ordered one you could get it fully loaded, along with I am sure a very long wait. In any case, here is what it did not have that we were expecting:
      - In dash navigation: No big deal since it does support CarPlay
      - TPMS: again, not that big a deal since we purchased a TireMinder system with 6 sensors. And if you don’t like the external sensors I am sure Mercedes or Les Schwab could install internal sensors
      - Electric adjustable seats. Turns out, having manual seats makes it quicker to turn the seats around since you can slide them forward/backwards a lot faster than the electric seats move in the Strada we test drove
      - Adjustable air-suspension: It does have electronically controlled air suspension, but you can’t manually lower the rear end if necessary when you pull into an RV site like Brian & Michelle have done many times in their Strada.
      So, nothing that stopped us accepting the Terreno, and our Dealer did take a bit more off the already discounted price due to the missing features we were expecting. So despite those features we are so far very happy with our purchase, despite its price. But, as you know you get what what you pay for

      Sure! :) We did give our opinion especially towards the end of this video. We would really like it if it had a closet. We think we could get by with the smaller fridge but don’t like how low it and the microwave is. For us and “our” lifestyle, we need the closet and extra storage space. Someone like yourself may not need that extra storage up above the couch/bed.

But oh well lesson learned

    • @LivinRVision
      @LivinRVision  Před rokem

      Thousand Trails has many parks and has been around for many years. Those of us that see all the parks across the country will notice that they are dumping money into many of them and still have many more to do. Like anything, when something gets old, it needs updated. Many of their parks are very nice also, those that have been updated.
      The value is still unbeatable from what we have experienced. We have had to stay at places outside of the Thousand Trails system when traveling to places where there are no TT parks and paid anywhere from $40-60 a night and those parks were in worse condition. The thing about a Thousand Trails membership is, even when you don’t stay in them all the time, they still pay for themselves in a very short time. Once you start camping without the membership is when you’ll wish you had it. For someone like yourself that may not need the membership to cover the entire country, then you have to look at where you will be most of the time and see if it will pay off by doing the math of course. We just don’t want to see others get misinformation without all the details.
