    • @thebatlwgn
      @thebatlwgn 8 дней назад

      @@stephensanders1876 AH gotcha. I think its a horrible idea to pull engine coolant for something like this. You open yourself up to risk with engine issues by modifying that system. On top of that, it requires that you run the engine for substantial amounts of time to put enough heat into the system for it to be functional, THEN on top of that you are putting unnecessary wear on the engine components by running it for that purpose. The biggest issue for me was messing with the engine. These things are NOT known for being ultra reliable so doing that makes so little sense to me. Especially when you can run a small heater that sips a small amount of fuel and is an enclosed system to itself. You're not losing BOTH if there is an issue.

    • @stephensanders1876
      @stephensanders1876 7 дней назад

      @@thebatlwgn Thanks for the considerations! I thought it was a good idea as it charges the glycol loop as you drive and can then be supplemented with the diesel furnace but you're right... a lot of hassle, expense and risk. Busting a coolant line because it's under the vehicle would kill the entire vehicle. Thanks again! Next van, I'll probably follow your advice!

    I bought a used 2017 25’ RV mounted to a Sprinter 3500 170” chassis. Total GVRW is just under 6 tons. I get approximately 14 mpg pulling a Chevy Trax on a tow dolly. If I don’t tow and stay under 65 mph I can get upwards of 16 mpg. The engine is strong for its size and maintenance is not that difficult - better to DIY or find a former MB mechanic that specializes in Sprinters. Oil change about $120 (12.5 qts + filter). I do add Archoil 6400 at each fill up. The DEF fill being under the hood is okay. I had to add a 2.5 gallon box after about 400+ mil

    We have a 2024 Beast XO and we LOOOOOVE it. Just took it on its 3rd trip since we got it in September. So intelligently engineered. I like the idea of the strip lighting in the back, as an upgrade. We're using a Cabbunk in the front for extra sleeping space. So manueverable, so capable for handling bumpy forest service roads. And we were in temps in the 'teens last week in the mountains, and it was warm and cozy the whole time. Overall, we're SO GLAD that Westfalia's manufacturing delays led us to dropping our order, because we have a far more capable, durable, and well-designed rig than we would have had. Bravo, Storyteller!

    I had the 4 x4 144 WB with no bulkhead. You talk about not being able to get up in the van, well with the factory 4 inch lift it was almost impossible. I returned the van the very next day and opted for the rear wheel drive with the bulkhead. What a difference! With the bulkhead you don’t hear all that noise from the cargo area and you can heat and cool it much faster and i saved 20k in the process. I agree about the placing of the handle, it is stupid , half the time i grab the steering wheel and the upper handle. Thanks for the video !

    Too much. Ditch the rooftop. Make the rear a garage, 3.5ft deep under the bed and sleep sideways. Copy the revel layout forward of the bed. Push half of the kitchen into the van step and include outdoor cook space (cooking indoors sucks). Make it affordably. Nobody is doing this. Nobody has the right layout for those who use these vans for outdoor activities who need a full garage.
