Oh man, I thought the Revel would be perfect and maintenance-free for at least 3 years.....actually the little things wouldn't bother me too much, but getting stranded due to a mechanical would be upsetting

My kinda camping.....lot's of mayonnaise (prfer Duke's), some fun mishaps + a pup....I have two....thinking about a Revel, so enjoyed your video

I have the the Blackstone griddle + side burner, and I love it. But I am kinda wondering if condensing the setup down to something like these Jetboil Genesis would be better... The Blackstone is for sure a bit bulky. Curious which one you've been more into overall?

1:34 I love the idea of tailgating in the woods unfortunately I’m not the biggest football fan or watch football and I don’t know why you would think I should but I love the van that might be the van. I choose when I get ready to retire.

16:03 those are definitely some nice steaks. I bought mine at Walmart and I bought the super heavy duty ones. I think they’re like three bucks apiece and I bought I think 18 for my hot tent and that’s been in winds exceeding 35 miles an hour and still stayed up with the wood-burning stove in it, which I would never try with the cheeps steaks that come with the tents

13:04 it pretty much is like a palace that’s a lot of room

9:31 you guys had me at hello with the tent by itself and then you showed me the steaks

8:16 you generally don’t get really good steaks with any tent I ever bought so this is already impressing me. I wish more companies would do that especially on the bigger tents. You can’t use them cheap tent steaks if the wind strong enough, it’ll definitely take it away

7:40 I love the idea of the main entrance and I like how the rain fly is built right in

6:29 I got a car camper so I really need the extra space. It looks pretty simple to set up and it stores away. It looks like pretty easily. I wouldn’t mind checking out. They’re probably pretty expensive.

Very cool 😊

I just bought the G6 with built in panels used. Got a great price from a guy who went to Burning Man who only used it once. Used it on my last trip to Bodega Bay CA. 35 MPH gusts with 15-20 sustained wind. We were able to get 5 adults and 3 dogs with two small tables in it. I can’t believe it held up! I’ve never seen the model you have. We have almost identical equipment 😂

Great space. Looking at your ladder. Any way of securing it to the ladder for transport?

Wow that’s big! Gives you a lot of xtra room!

Great job!

Pepsi in glass bottle I googled Walmart and BevMov came up with Looks fun eat and football can’t get any better

Really like your channel and adventures! We own a Revel too, so appreciate your sharing of tips, upgrades and advice (fyi, you persuaded us to buy a Blackstone and rear door cover). Keep having fun and hope your football teams have successful seasons. Thx!

Fun video! We are also a house divided when it comes to football. Chiefs vs Patriots! 😂. Nice to see you out in the woods and having fun! Love to see your doggie in the video. We have 3 small doggies and take them camping with us most of the time. We also love cooking on the blackstone!

Love it!! Thanks for the video.

The DEATH WOBBLE!! I love watching your videos! Thanks!

I went with the van made gear partition shade instead of the showtime curtain because if you want to stealth camp it just looks like a divider not a drawn curtain and just drops down and rolls up in seconds. I bought into the canyon adventure vans GLSS for the garage that comes in handy and is super easy to remove but also adds a lounge area and storage along with a nice place to eat or have a cocktail with the doors open and bug screen down when the vampire bugs are out.

That cupholder upgrade is such a great idea! And the foldable hooks are genius. You're going to love the folding counter extension, I can't even imagine Revel life without it now 😄

Great ideas. I have stayed away also. We will see Stay safe

It's a Lagun.not laguna.

Way to see it through. What model microwave did you use?

Finally someone has figured out how to use those Jackery panels. Thanks so very much. I can use mine. You two are fantastic. Thanks again. I will definitely follow each step you did and get those adapters order. Amazing 🎉

Wow, every video that mentions the solar panel port makes it sound like it's just plug n' play and never mention how you can blow a fuse like that! This is extremely helpful and informative!

Wow, that's quite a big difference! This could be a great solution for us actually. Currently we just idle for a bit to charge from the alternator if we're about to run out of power, but that's not an ideal solution. And thanks for the reminder to wipe the solar panels 😂

If you run into the clamp loosing its tightness, the bracket that clamp attaches to , I welded mine on cause the threaded Allen bolts backed out and the clamp bracket fell off.. once you clamp it down the bracket that fell of with the 2 Allen bolts began to bend and fold in , so I welded a small sleeve in the middle of the small bracket .

Great video.

Damn! You make me think twice about a Revel (just dreaming of one at the moment). Have you guys talked to other Revel owners? Are these like typical problems that happen?

Sometimes you need a change

what a great video,had a bit of everything.those sparklers were huge,the ones here in scotland are about 8 inches long and you can only get them for about 2 weeks a year around bonfire night.

wee doggy is thinking they have made 3 burgers,is one for me.what a great life,outdoors in the fresh air.

Hi Ladies! Just ran across your channel (yay algorithm!) because I watch a few Vanlife/Nomadic life channels. (all Full-timers) Love seeing our community represented! As a current Sticks&Bricks gal, I have been watching several YT channels as my next stage in life I plan on moving into a used but good condition, Class C. I work from home now, so I figured I can work from pretty much anywhere as long as I have a connection. I've chosen a Class C only because I do tech support and that requires me to have two monitors for all our systems, so space is the major concern. I'm not as concerned about finding a "forever home" simply as I've done a LOT of moving around in my lifetime, now its more "Me Time." I've seen a few others with similar vans and have noticed there tends to be a lot of quirks with Mercedes Sprinter vans. Depending on the model/year and any weird Collabs (yes, there's even a Mercedes/Dodge/Freightliner collab van out there - Don't ask). Another reason why I'm shying away from vans. Although I am a huge coffee addict, have been my entire life. French press is a finesse that takes practice, so don't go hard on yourself. Typical pre-ground coffees aren't ground for French Press. Just as someone else pointed out. Getting local/regional roasts from roasters along the way will also allow you to experience other great coffees out there! Totally subscribed, love your vibe! Looking forward to watching as you two explore!

Thanks for sharing your experience on battery management. For the coffee, one downside on doing something like the Maxwell House blue tubs is that they are ground for a standard automatic drip coffee maker. Picking up coffee from local roasters is great because you can get whole beans or ask them to grind it to the right coarseness specifically for a french press.

Ladies!!! I love you but please let the coffee steep for five mins before pressing the plunger down, it extracts the oils and that gives you the tasty coffee flavor you’re looking for

Hi Ladies just something I do I let the van run I install a high idle kit makes all the difference and I installed a soft start switch on my AC I get about 6hrs run time with AC on I have 420 AH of lithium going to add another 420. I have videos of it on my channel if you what more info just a suggestion travel safe

I really enjoy seeing the real time situations you can come across with your van. I always appreciate your honest experiences. I hope you recover quickly from your sunburn Amanda! Stay safe the 3 of ya!

This is an accurate portrayal of the kind of stuff that happens *all the time* living in a van 😂 With two macbooks, two portable monitors, starlink, and simple meals (just boiling water in the morning and afternoon for oats/soups, and a quick single pot thing on the induction stove at night), we're able to work for maybe 3 days max without moving, and that's with an additional 1kWh portable battery that we charge while driving, and good sun exposure for solar. The Revel's power and water systems are really not ideal for long term life on the road unless you drive frequently, which is a shame since the layout is so great for two separate offices! (Canyon Adventure Vans GLSS under the bed, and driver's seat swiveled around.)

That looks awesome!! Thanks for sharing. I might consider that stove in the future

I too just went thru the hell of installing this on a ‘23 Revel same problems as you, hats off to you two for sticking with it and getting it done, what a pain in the butt for the amount of money you pay and the lack of information they give for what should be a simple install. I didn’t like the fact that if the microwave stops working you have all that double face tape to deal with to get it out so I put the face panel on with self tapping screws painted black. Also the hold down bracket to hold the micro on the tray was too long pulling down on it it hit the bottom of the cabinet before it put any pressure on the microwave and left a 1/8” gap between the two so had to glue some dense foam to the bracket which also keeps metal to metal contact from causing a rattle.Customer service absolutely sucked some guy named Keith who knew nothing about the installation and who wouldn’t let you talk to a install person but I could email pics and they will get back to you.😂🤣

Fun times 😮

Thanks for a very detailed review. Definitely will be getting one Popcorn Time sounds good

Have considered getting the genesis. Thanks for the review.

Looks yummy! We LOVE our Jetboil Genesis. Cheers

That is very cool I like that that's definitely worth the money😊😊😊
