    CORRECTION: The usable LP tank size on the Sequence is 16LBS not 16 gallons. My apologies everyone!
    How do you think the new Sequence compares with the Travato?

    • @alliejr
      @alliejr Pƙed 4 lety +9

      It compares well. In fact, I am shocked. I like the Sequence. I love the automotive exterior. From my (limited) knowledge of fluid dynamics, galley windows open and rear exhaust fan should create a nice interior airflow through the bedroom. I just wish it were all electric rather than using a gas generator and (huge) propane heating/cooking tank.

    Having camped in warm weather in our Travato 59K for almost 4 years now, opening windows in the back by the beds is absolutely essential. We don't want to run the AC all the time. When it's raining for example, and our slider windows have to remain closed, we use Eurocamper vents in the chassis windows up front and the bathroom fan to pull some air back to the bedroom section. We combine that with small 12V fans. That is just barely adequate for sleeping. The acrylic awning windows in new T's do allow you to have ventilation even in the rain. I just cannot imagine trying to sleep in a hot, stuffy van as a normal practice since there's no way to open the windows beside the beds.

    Solid Review! Thanks for mentioning the windows. I was sold on this model over the Travato K(L) until you said the Thor windows don't open in the bed area. That's CRAZY. The shower curtain installation (and doors) are superior to the Travato though. T folks have been bugging Winnebago for this for a while. I bet a quarter that they'll change the windows on next year's model. edit: I contacted them about the rear bedroom windows and they said they would forward my request to the dev team. Don't know if that produces any weight, but if everyone did it, the following year might tack on back windows that open so go for it!

    Thanks for the review. Great job. We have a new KL and one thing that the Sequence seems to have vs the Travato is a factory pull around shower curtain. I had to engineer one for our KL . Winnebagos OEM is a snap on curtain (2019) and its a real pain. Track with rollers much nicer.

    Another great video, Neil. Wife and I are always eager to see your reviews on just about anything. In the past 40+ yrs, we have had about 30 RV's from small to large 42 ft. & were class B's. Right now we are without and are seriously looking. Wife thinks maybe a Class A like a Breeze mainly because of the floor width for our Greyhound to turn around. I am thinking more like the Sequence so it can be treated like our 2nd car to drive regularly if needed. I am tired of paying for the real expensive yearly tags and ins. for a RV that is just sitting until you can use it for camping only. Right now we are leaning toward the Leisure Travel Wonder RTB for it's width and it in town drivability. or a rear twin bed like the Sequence. We had a 2014 Pleasureway Plateau XLMB with we loved. but when the bed was down and the dog needed out I had to make the wife get up so I could raise for the dog to get out the door. Maybe in the future you could address the floor widths for so many of us that have a large dog that has to turn around in. Thank you for all that you do!

    Neil! Hello from Florida. After watching your video on this Thor Sequence, I drove over to Tampa to look at a couple of them in person. Wow. This is quite possibly a perfect Class B. On initial impression, the build quality is very good, actually better than the Airstream Interstate that was parked nearby. So much light, space, and very well executed storage. Here’s another interesting point, it was $79,995 brand new. That’s a pretty sweet price point.
    On a second note, would you please review the new Coachmen CrossTrek 20xg. It’s the just introduced B Plus with Solar, Xantrex 3000, and looks like a great design!

I guess if you live in Canada and barely ever plan to use it above 50degerees then it makes sense. It's a sharp van but really missing netted windows bedside is a deal breaker 💯.

    Great review Neil. They certainly pack a lot into this rig for the money! This is a serious contender to look at buying. I've never seen multiplex available in such an aggressively priced van. It's clean looking and very attractive on the outside as well as interior. Why aren't all manufacturers putting in decent inverters? 1000 watts makes no sense to me. Love the rear bathroom. Love the Corian counters and the workstation also being Corian. If they come through with the lithium upgrade, I'm sold on this van. Awesome review!

      I think the Lithium will be a very high priced option, around $12-$15k, because the cost of that huge 900ah Lithium is very, very, high. I think that a 600ah pack is more than sufficient, given the generous generator package and supplemental solar as standard.

    Good review Neil. Pricing on the Sequence is terrific especially considering the many features that are standard versus optional on the Travato K. But the non-opening bedroom windows are a non-starter, I can't imagine not having a cross breeze across the beds while sleeping. Non opening windows is unexplainable. Unless the coach is always used where it's hot with AC running constantly. Hopefully Thor addresses this oversight quickly.

      @@alliejr We’ll have to wait for some early user reports but I know I prefer a direct air flow for sleeping. I mean, you can always leave the back doors open too but the Sequence doesn’t offer a screen so that would have to be retro-fitted. Wife and I prefer lots of air flow so for us the Travato with dual-pane windows was by far the best option for maximum air flow as all the windows open including rear porthole ones and the dual panes open 100% versus 50% you get with a slider.

This isn't a Pleasure Way but it's also a lot cheaper. Our conclusion is that it's not perfect but is a very good deal for the price, and I would find a way to make the air circulation work. .

    Great review and Thanks! I would also love to have a comparison to Embassy RV which is trying to complete in the same market. I didn't hear anything about being able to set the temperature (either AC or heat) and allow it to come on and run when temperature changes below limits you set (I don't know what this is called), running AC off shore, and as always I see very little about the seating capacity. In one picture i saw seatbelts on the passenger side bed but they didn't look to be 3 point - you didn't mention it in your review and it's not mentioned on the website. I want to be able to transport more than 2 people (like how about adding grandkids) and it seems like very few of these affordable vans offer more than two seatbelts.

Price looks reasonable, but the 1 yr short warranty period is disconcerting to me. Great job as always sir!

It would be fun to see your idea of what a perfect vehicle- one room type van would have. Please include any and all makes you are familiar with like Mercedes, Airstream and other other trusted models. What is the BEST chassis, engine type, solar energy configuration ,water management, the deluxe features that make it even better... what is your DREAM vehicle? AND, what would be the best configuration to make sure you have if you want to live off the grid-- so optimized features.. (I might be planning an escape!)

    You had compared the Travato with the PleasureWay Lexor. Just test drove the Lexor and if Thor was trying to copy the competition they picked the wrong one. Liked the Trivato but it rattles like it’s about to fall apart. The Lexor was solid and quiet and the lounge arrangement at the back is just plain superior to the Travato’s twin beds which make awkward couches. It’s the Lexor for us.

    Great review. I think Thor was smart and standardized on things that Travado nickel and dimes on. I hope Thor is listening here about the screen for the back and adding flip open rain proofed windows at least at the bottom of those beautiful windows (something that I’ve seen on airstreams). If they did that I’d go for one of these puppies and add lithium.
    I bet we’ll see Activ style class B vans coming out soon too...offshoots of Roadtrek and Hymer style class Bs. They needed to come out with an oblique shot across the bow of Winnebago given both of them as big boys. 😊
    I hope they build a GL style class B because I like the front lounge for working better than what is provided in this K style but it still works better than Winnebago when you look at the standard items provided. I’m excited. Keep us updated when other models appear in this line of Thor’s.

    Excellent review. Once again, you set the standard for a fair, balanced, thorough review. For me, the lack of rear ventilation is a deal breaker, and I'd like to see an optional composting toilet with combined gray/black tanks to extend boondocking capabilities substantially. But, this may be one of the top modern platform budget Class Bs available today, provided one can get past the Thor reputation for QC and after sales support.

    Having travelled for 4.5 years in my Travato G. I would go with the KL next. Generators under a van are unacceptable. You cannot get to them to maintain them. Plus they are to noisy for the areas you take a class b, like these two. But I like the competition as I will be buying another van shortly. I just broke 200,000 miles.

I wonder if bathroom fan on exhaust and galley fan on in would create enough airflow, or as someone else pointed out galley windows open in lieu of the fan.

  • @robertcoren7318

    Hi Neil: Thank you for an excellent review. The pricing is surely tempting. I was wondering how you feel the build quality and components that the two manufacturers use compare. I know Pleasure Way’s Lexor is thousands, even tens of thousands more but when you buy a class B it seems to make sense to me buy for the long term (in my judgment that’s 10 years or more). Therefore quality is most important. From your Pleasure Way reviews it’s apparent that you love their quality. Also I’ve noticed that in the older van resale market, you’ll find 10-15 year old PW b class van still holding up beautifully. Also some RoadTrek models have done quite well. If you were buying a B class on a Promaster chassis, how do you rank the comparative values of these three models? And are there any other Promaster vans that you would recommend we consider?

  • @DavidHuffTexas
    @DavidHuffTexas Pƙed 4 lety

    So any impression of overall build quality ? (I'm guessing about like the Travato). Also wish they had positive locking latches on those cabinets, etc...Still, like you said - price isn't bad. But if I were in the market for a Promaster-based coach, I might be more keen on price-shopping a PW Lexor.

    I had a Class B with a RAM front end (Roadtrek Zion). I now have a B+ (Thor Gemini), with a Ford Transit Diesel. BOTH "front ends" I like but I'm considering "down sizing" BACK to a Class B. I REALLY liked the ability to use my Roadtrek as a "utility van". In fact I moved ALL the furniture in my house in the back (the Zion with the side by side bed arrangement). I also like the ability to move long pieces of lumber down the center aisle (which I can't do with my current B+). I LIKE THOR. The quality is pretty good although, as they admit, they need to tighten up, a bit, on their quality checks coming off their assembly lines. No problems buying another Thor RV, though. I think, for the low prices they charge and the fairly decent finish on the inside furnishings, they're a VERY strong competitor to ANY of the other RV manufacturers in North America. Thanks for the great review, Neil!

    Hello Again! I have committed on this point before and I think it important to bring it up again. 2020 van manufacturers need to offer safety features that will help save lives.

    As always thank you for your review.

      National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a group of carmakers that requires all models to come equipped with automatic emergency braking (AEB) within the next few years,For now, however, you’ll still find many models that only offer AEB as an optional extra.

    One that goes into my consider column. Lots of good ideas in this one and the price is a huge bonus. I would like to see add on packages that include positive locking cabinets and draws, a bigger inverter, and four wheel drive. Heck, I would even consider paying for a longer warranty and I hate paying for warranties. One concern is I don't know much about Thor and that has me wondering if they cut corners, like Winnebago, sacrificing quality in the process.

    What's your opinion on a layout like this as opposed to a layout like in the Panoramic? Does it feel smaller? Is storage noticeably less? Does it feel like much more trouble to set up your bed every day rather than having a bed that's always there?

    • @Ultramobility

      i like the panoramic's layout. you get a highly functional, permanent front lounge where the bench seat is an actual seat and sits at the right height and depth with proper lumbar support compared to bench seats that are doubling as beds and sit too high and are too deep for sitting on. plus on the panoramic you get a garage when you fold up the bed. the bathroom on the sequence is much larger however.
