This would definately be my choice if it had the Volta Power Systems platform! It's the only thing holding me back on pulling the trigger on this one. Currently considering the Travato 59GL. I'm a travel nurse and want to be able to run everyting without the use of a generator at night. Super important for hospital parking lots as well as quiet hours at various locations.

Love this floorplan. We currently have an Hymer AKTIV, and Airstream has made so tweaks on the original layout. I assume the electrical choice was a price-point decision, but we really like being able to run the AC off of batteries and the underhood generator with autostart. MUCH quieter than a generator.

Our local Airstream dealer finally has two Rangelines in stock (Sept. 2023) one with and one without a pop-top. The big change we saw was a switch to a real black water toilet. It is clearly designed to compete with the standard G model. The base MSRP is only $131K. That's a bargain assuming that's the negotiating starting point. Build quality is better than newer Travatos, but lower than older ones like yours. The huge bed and garage would work better than a G for a couple traveling. A Battleborn lithium system is available as an option, but it doesn't compare to the Volta system. It is a big improvement over the standard AGM battery system however.

Love this van. Almost makes me want to pull the trigger; definitely one of the best out there. Needs skylight(s) (although pop top comes with one when down, right?), window in the bathroom, skylight in the bedroom area, certainly a top end Volta lithium system and bigger inverter (this is a must have in place of a generator) and one of those brilliant ‘peek-a-boo’ shower/sink setups. Great van.

That is a super nice implementation of the Travato G floor plan. Really beautiful worksmanship. I don't think it's quite as functional as a G due to smaller freezer, missing jump seat, and I believe the front lounge does not convert to a bed, but this thing definitely oozes quality and thoughtfulness in design, a quality unfortunately lacking most of the time. I fully approve of the elimination of LP in favor of gasoline for heating, and also the induction cooktop.

I can think of a couple of problems with this van right off the bat. Who wants a noisy generator in a $200K RV? You already have an induction cooktop, lose the propane and go full electric with LiIon batteres, solar panels and a high capacity (or even a second) alternator. I would have a 24V second alternator and have the coach batteries setup in 24V configuration, 24V inverter, and a 24-12V DC-DC converter to power all the 12V appliances. 24V is more efficient for the inverter. 12V compressor fridge. Truma, AquaHot, Timberline water heater/furnace or even a heat pump perhaps. Truma has an all electric suite of appliances. Airstream is one of the leaders in the RV industry, why can't they come with an better system? The cabinet doors and latches are clunky. Lok at Leisure Vans, Tiffen, others for better cabinet solutions. Also the bathroom has unsightly snapcaps on the plastic wall, that's unacceptable.

Thanks for your thoughts Chris. Couple of clarifications… there is no propane on the Rangeline; heat n hot water from chassis fuel. Rig is MSRP of $131K, which is sorta a deal compared to others.

I'm a bit surprised that Scott isn't as enthusiastic about the Panoramic RV made in Quebec, as the floorplan which Scott prefers is identical to this new Airstream van and the quality is excellent. Differences I can recall: 1. 35g fresh water tank 2. Rolef screens 3. Bathroom layout inverted and no drop-down sink, same door 4. Wider aisle 5. Integrated cooktop and counter seems a bit longer 6. Propane used for heating, hot water and cooktop 7. Larger compression fridge 8. Pullout pantry, wine bottle slots 9. Front table identical style (expandable) but can drop down to make an occasional-use bed 10. Standard 220Ah battery with 2000w inverter, can upgrade to 440Ah with 3000w inverter (which allows a few hours of a/c) 11. Large sunroof above lounge 12. No pop-top offered 13. Air conditioner is the new Truma (30%more efficient) 14. Pullout garbage, cutlery drawer and counter extension on the side of the kitchen unit. 15. Storage under bench seat for shoes 16. Storage drawers along one side of the garage accessible from the back This Airstream does look great, and anything that can reduce the 2.5 year waitlist for the Panoramic is a good thing ;)

Looks really good, Airstream always do a good job. Interior height is pretty low. The description says sleeps 2 to 4, where do the second two sleep? Or is that only on the pop top? Definitely needs to be offered with a lithium package! Solid thinking in opting to not use a cassette toilet, the European bath/toilet design is great especially not having a door opening out, crowding the limited space of a class B. Unsure about the manual awning, do people want this? Unfortunately the Ram is just not as good as the Mercedes, maybe the Ford could have been an option, not as wide but definitely more head room.

Hi, Scott! Thank you for a great walkthrough of a great looking Class B RV! I would like to make a standing offer to you to do a walkthrough of my new 2022 Panoramic RV, the first Pano to be built on a 2022 US Ram ProMaster 3500 chassis! I'd also like to make some comparisons between the Ridgeline and the 2022 Panoramic RV. Sliding door entrance: the Pano has three drawers, accessible from the inside or outside, including a garbage can and a food prep extension (not three cubbies). Lounge area: the Pano has virtually exactly the same table with the same three detents on the table extension. The Pano has had this feature for at least three years now. There is a proper shoe cubby and storage under the bench seat. The Pano Wet Bath: has a one time water temperature controller (you only have to set the temperature once). The shower curtain keeps everything in the shower from getting wet (storage cabinet, toilet paper, etc.). The shower curtain also allows someone to take a shower with the doors open, giving them more elbow room! The galley: the Pano has a two burner propane cooktop, a 5.3 cu. ft. fridge/freezer (compared to Ridgeline's 3.6 cu.ft.); the Pano also has a huge pull out pantry and a wine rack! The Electrical System: the Pano has up to 400 Amp-hours of Lithium batteries and a 3,000 Watt inverter (compared to Ridgeline's up to 270 Amp-hour batteries and 2,000 Watt inverter). The Pano also has an AC unit that can run off of the batteries! The Pano's Truma Combi controller can heat air and water with propane, (shore power) electricity or a combination of the two. More comparisons by the numbers: Pano solar panels 330 W (Ridgeline 200 W); Pano fresh tank 35 gallons (Ridgeline 28 gallons); Pano gray tank 24 gallons (Ridgeline 19 gallons); Pano black tank 16 gallons (Ridgeline 12 gallons); Pano warranty five years (Ridgeline three years). The Pano is very competitively priced and, I suspect, has a higher build quality Anyone who would like to follow my Class B travels can do so at the Panoramic Travels KZitem channel: kzitem.info/rock/QjIAs9Bitub035ZEO3nZ1w

Brandon, as Justin from Airstream stated, the Rangeline is basically a 3 season rig.

Didn't catch that, throw it out the window, us northern NYers need it. The ekko seems to be the only go-to and it's currently criminally overpriced. Looking at used travatos w/ generator, worried I won't have enough solar when it matters the most or i would go KL. Safe travels & keep up the great work!

This is a very ggod start for a new van line.. getting rid of propane -- so all fuel is from the gas tank is great -- running the engine - water and furnace heating - WGO should use the timberline in the Travato.... layout - floor plan is good. as noted -- it needs a model without a generator and with volta electric system -- it would be a Travato L model killer... it is a killer of non lithium G model now.. They should use a Rolef screen in the slider door -- the slider style screens are a problem for many in long term use. the question is also about roof rack availability -- lots of choices today for aftermarket storage for back doors on Promaster. Travato really need to get rid of propane use for one fuel in the coach

Noticed the one van's awning did not cover the sliding door opening but the other did. You want to cover that door opening so it doesn't rain in the van.

@@gosmall.livelarge Hopefully they change it. I installed my awning and went online to see how others were positioning theirs. I can't imagine having an awning but you still have to keep the slider closed when it's raining. I made sure mine covered the entire opening. Works great when it's raining. Make the van so much better too.

Love that there's no propane or TV, the table. Not thrilled about the bed: gotta make it up every night? Kitchen doesn't seem to have much storage - more drawers, fewer cubbies, dog dishes, trash can holders, please, and no carpet in the overhead cabinets. That space to hang clothes is what, 3 inches wide? Ugh. While I love the price and quality of Airstream, I'm disappointed in this one. But appreciate the review. Thank you!

Hello Scott, I enjoy your videos, however, I have a few comments that, in my view, will improve quality of your work, though, I understand you may have business related limitations/considerations: - I personally will not buy any vehicle that does not have Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and the tech package that comes with it. It would be great if you add this ACC package to your check list and comment on every future video you shoot and remind product managers to consider it. - I hope you ask slightly more difficult questions, for example: they have aluminum ceiling in Rangeline, metal sucks up heat, it would have been nice to ask, have you guys considered how this impacts heating in winter? - Or, The gentleman says we are first to insulate using lizard skin, makes it more quiet and and insulated. Would have been nice to ask, how much more quieter? Have you done any db (decible) measurements. What is the R factor of this new insulation and how it compares with other RVs. Just a few thoughts. Thanks!

Step seems like a bad idea. I’d forget and trip over it when bed up for sure. Not sure about the bathroom door. Seems it would end up not sliding well. Guessing toilet doesn’t need to be covered so then have to be wiped down. No outdoor shower? That’s a big bummer for the money. I’ve seen better custom built for was less with same features. No solar and no lithium… not interested.

"Euro inspired"? All Euro vans have two armrests per seat. This one has only ONE armrest. How are you suppose to work with computer mouse and your elbow hangs in the air all day? Seriously? And the bathroom... just compare it to Wingamm's bathroom. Not to mention other things, including the price. US rv industry is brain dead.
