Owl Vans in Calif is an aftermarket bonanza of accessories for your Revel. Exhaust system for starters, Kyle. The exhaust kit you can DIY! Pedal Control Kit for the turbo lag. DIY ease! Owl has You Tube how tos! Rear ladder system instead of the Winnebago cheezy ladder. A rear step. A rear door tire mount system. A rear windows replacement system. A front bumper system. Suspension upgrades that Owl Vans has identified, and remedied too. John, owner of Owl Vans is totally cool to work with.

200k for a 53k van is wild to me, it’s not like they add anything crazy, it’s all stuff people routinely add on themselves from 3rd party sellers. If you have the money, and don’t enjoy having control of what the space will look like, then sure, go ahead. I’m certain that you can build a better van on this exact same chassis with that spare 147k, you could have enough lithium to power a village and enough solar panels to do the same and you wouldn’t make a dent into that 147k. If the interior was something really unique and special and not just your run of the mill most basic cabinetry in the industry then maybe I could justify it as being something niche or novelty that you’re paying for the uniqueness of and/or custom craftsmanship, but the reality is there’s nothing unique at all about the interior and it is painfully standard and the price is not justified in any facet. Winnebago makes a bunch of trailers that are 23-30 feet long fully furnished with full bedrooms and bathrooms and kitchens with appliances and they cost 30k and have better craftsmanship than this van, so where is that cost coming from I guess is my main gripe. I don’t hate the van, it’s a cool van, I just really dislike the premise, the margins for Winnebago on this van have to be 10x what their margins are for the rest of their lineup, and that bothers me.

It will be so nice when we get EV RVs with expandable solar. Right now RVs use gas/diesel from propulsion and front HVAC, propane for heat/hot water/cooking, small batteries for A/C and electrical outlets. A large RV traction battery for all power will be the dream of the future, with no more propane and gas/diesel fill-ups. And with enough solar you can boondock for maybe 2 weeks to gain enough range to get to your next destination.

It is NOT ok to dump gray water into city storm drains, as stated in this video. I'm a spill responder for a small city and that gray water will go right into a creek or lake where people swim, and any soap or other pollutants can kill fish and other aquatic life. Gray water should always be sent to a sanitary sewer, not a storm drain. Leaving aside the negative environmental impact, you can also get a fine for illegal dumping.

We've had a 2020(2019 chassis) for over a year now. A LOT of little bugs to work out, which as you say you expect. We live in Austin, and wife picked it up in San Diego. First night driving it back, plugs in at an RV spot in Tucson, no rooftop AC. Blows, but not cold. It is 92 degrees, at 8 pm. Not a happy camper. Long story short, it was the wrong rooftop AC installed. The one on there had a heater also, which the Revel is not wired for. Also on the drive back, starts raining, the antenna seal is leaking and dripping water through the top console. This caused my wife to start leaking out of her eye holes. All that was fixed, but when you spend a lot of money, you should have perfection. At the price point these are at now, Winnebago needs to up their quality control game significantly. I recommend others to look at other van conversion companies such as Sportsmobile. Love the van, just not happy with Winnebagos QC. Currently looking for a replacement for that debacle folding galley faucet, which is designed to fail.

All RVs are built like garbage. It is just a fact of life. Electrical cables that have been stapled through are common. Someone 'accidentally' failing to connect the generator to the vehicle, or better yet, leaving a disconnected fuel line hanging. Or windows that apparently don't need the gasket to hold them in, or 'oops, we might have forgotten to bolt the house onto the chassis.' Quality control is apparently one of those terms completely foreign to RV manufacturers.

That's MSRP. Even in the current high-demand market for RVs, they sell significantly below MSRP. Much more so than with cars. Discounts of 20-40% are typical. Also, if you get an RV that has the qualifications to be considered a dwelling (bathroom, kitchen, sleeping area) then you can deduct the financing interest paid on your taxes, just like a mortgage.

I would have thought the US with its much bigger Off-road RV scene and seemingly endless number of builders would be cheaper. Also, in my limited experience of buying US gear of any kind generally it is better quality and cheaper than the U.K. …. I can’t work out why not the same with RVs?

We've seen both the 2022 Tiffin build and the 2022 Revel and the inside quality of the build of the Tiffin is shockingly low quality for the price. The inside of the cupboards actually cracked open with a tiny test push to see if it was sturdy and the seal just broke so easily. Glue strips were peeling off that held storage space pockets and floor strips were peeling! It was brand new! The Revel seemed like a much more quality build in comparison with steel trim on the cupboards and doors, nothing was very worn or broken that we could see and it had 5k miles on it from previous owner. Good to know about the flaws/broken elements you shared because we haven't bought it yet so I want to give it another walk though. Also another drive to test out that power issue!

Never had an issue with it. Some may find that you cannot connect city water unless you leave the door open. We have found we are never in one place with hookups more than one night (we prefer boon docking) so that is not an issue. Plus if it runs out, just open the door and fill it up!

Where companies like Storyteller Overland, Grech RV, Sportsmobile and others have been taking this MB platform and doing awesome stuff like better batteries, cabinet/furniture quality, insulation and layout design, WB just buys it and slaps a coat of paint on the thing. I'm also in agreement on another thing: The RV industry needs to start offering more "White Glove" customer service from initial order to delivery of unit.

If I would make one suggestion, spend a bit more time on describing your personal habits and routine; eg., how you prepare meals, what are your normal activities outdoors..biking etc ? This will give me a better idea of utility. I could see this as something that allows me to go to some mix of beautiful places, but still work effectively as a virtual person. So it's good to know how you use and set up your workspace (if you do).... and so on. But really great job. One last thing: I don't want to start my RV experience with a purchase.

You can repair many of the small items yourself but I think like you, "why have to fix these items yourself on a new rig". We had 3 service visits year 1 on our Class A with 30+ items which were broken or not adjusted properly.

I like the bathroom in the revel.. WGO really needs to do a volta system like in the STO for the revel... I have 2022 Travato GL on order - hopefully delivered next month.. I wish the Travato had a cassette toilet rather than its black tank -- I may well do a mod to put a cassette in the Travato

I camped all the time as a kid, but never in an RV. The problem now is with four kids, you're buying a house to transport six people. $200k. oof. I am very jealous. I know you're excited but for $200k some of those defects...come on. Maybe that's what you get when the dealer delivers it but I agree with you on the method they use, without a transporter someone who doesn't care about the thing is going rag it out to get the job done so they can do another delivery.

See my reply to JR Case above. Actual selling price for these is *much* lower than the sticker price.

If you can track regenerations, I'd love to know what your regen frequency is before and after a tune. I agree the van is underpowered, but I am not willing to sacrifice longevity of the DPF; I'd probably buy a 1-ton pickup based camper if it starts impacting emissions reliability.

This Camper Van is not a 4 season van. This van’s insulations are blocks of foam.

The key by the bed control is there so you can remove the key so the bed can't be raised or lowered if someone is on it or below it. Probably a safety thing. Great video!

Kyle very good video 👍 very informative, I am not a RV guy however it was good to see/hear about your experience thus far .. still can’t believe I watched this video in full, and for anyone that is thinking of skipping don’t it’s a real eye opener.. leaded allot .. the only major take away is for performance you need a BEV RV... life is good after that no tune needed..
