for a single person, the cassette toilet poses no problem as you dont have to pay and wait in line to empty your tanks at a camping ground. My only gripe with this van is the tetris game to do/undo the bed, I would have the cushions sewn together to just move 2 pieces.
This is a DIRECT copy of the THOR 18m, also the Integra ARC is the exact same different name..........I appreciate small van rv. The MAIN issue here is they did not copy the bed layout properly and unless you're 4'10 you cannot lay in properly in any direction..! Now when these reach below $69,000 new, they are a good price! I bought mine at that price new! Typically, the next year the price falls to that amount at SHOWS or end of the year models!
Curious, which camper van did you end up purchasing? It is actually an exact copy of the ARC because Entegra is owned by Jayco so it makes sense. I’m interested in an 18 foot camper van myself but can’t seem to find one that I love. It is the bed that is making me steer away from this one.
The ceiling is only 6’2”, so this isn’t for really tall people but I would sleep diagonally on the bed. For two people, one would have to crawl over to reach the bathroom. For one person it’s great
It comes with a portable induction cooktop that is stowed in one of the kitchen drawers. He should have caught the fact that it was missing in this unit.
If partly designed for a single traveller, then it would be nice to have the option to only deploy a single bed, allowing room to keep a work table in use.
Would be neat to have anti-spill-lips on that kitchen extension? If I were cooking I'd achieve a soggy mattress incident in a few months. I've only seen such table-top extensions placed over wipeable floor areas
The van in the video is a pre production version. In the production version they moved the counter extension to the front and added a shallow drawer to hold it
It's good to see innovative layouts, but not sure where all the space evaporated to? In my conventional layout 18ft van there's a permanent double bed in the rear; A narrower, but permanent, table for 4; Four seat belts; Bigger kitchen with 3 burners; Bigger shower room, 7 roof cupboards instead of 5; More room to wander round at night & to use the side entrance; & under-bed garage space for 2 folding bikes, a canoe & other crap. Though must admit. That tasty microwave inside 18ft is unusual. (Has anyone made a longer, narrower, microwave that might squeeze into the area of a van's roof-cupboard?)
No built-in cooktop at the counter but I have read there is a portable induction cooktop stored on board. Good for us traveling Soccer Moms and long weekend camping. Thanks for the video.
I'm 6'2" so a 72 INCH long bed DOESN'T WORK. I'm also suspicious of the comfort of a bed that s a jigsaw puzzle of cushions. For sitting purposes I expect to hit my head on the overhead cabinet. I think the sofa should be single bed extra long (76 ") seat cushion with a back rest the same size with bed slats that pull out for the functional equivalent of two single beds pushed together. Did you forget to show us an induction cook top in one of the drawers? But don't forget the special cookware needed for induction cook tops! Is that a standard or convection microwave? Add an Air Fryer to the microwave for another important quick cooking option. Is there a place to store an Instant Pot and coffee maker?
My wife now hates carrying 5 gallons (just north of 40 lbs if full) of human waste - the Cassette Toilet is a non-starter for us. Cheaper to build for the manufacturer for sure, so I can understand why they want to sell it to us.
A nicer version of the integra. Should have seatbelts in rear for day trips with grandkids or guests. Don’t see ac for coffee pot ie Keurig, range top induction burners?
I love this one! I’m looking for something that could be a daily driver as well as trips, long or short. This is perfect!

The bed is 72” in length when extended. That’s six feet.

Hello, I would very much like to see one of these, I have been looking for something like this , when should they be in dealerships , thanks tony
love this RV. I love the rear bathroom. This and this winnabago 36B have to be my 2 favorite.
This one is by far my favorite! I love all of the features and it will just be for me and my dog.
This has to be the first class b van I have seen without cook top burners
Yep, not much point to kitchen facilities if you can't cook!

RV makers really trying to get me to give up city life man, lol. This is gorgeous!
I think the 32" TV is a wasted space. Now a day, you just need a 12" iPad or Android tablet to watch your favorite show.

Nice video! I like the layout, except the bed cushions. 🙃 Nice idea for the sink too. I googled the price...$133,000 wow.
They are selling for Less than 100,000.

Which 28’ model do you have?
Nice video 👍👍
Are those seat belts in the back of the couch? I’d love this as a day tripper for my kids sports but would need seating for 4.
Yes, seat belts for 4.
No built-in cooktop at the counter but I have read there is a portable induction cooktop stored on board.

Thanks for the video.
As a long haul trucker with a 760 mile commute, hope it’s more affordable than those 225k chinook RV units😊

A small cvan like this kitchen can be removed cze Now a day to cook anything just need a cooker.So more space can

Great for my wife and myself travel with rear bathroom and small enough to drive in cities.
Great video, but I wish you would give your professional opinion about the cassette toilet....please!
Nice camper. Just what we’re looking for but is the price right?
In the words of Borat....very nice, how much?
sometimes smaller is better? LOL love he had to throw that in there ...men sigh
Msrp is $154 k. Adios
That's MSRP, you won't pay that much for it in reality. I'd say one could probably pick one up for $119k with discounts.
This is what I been waiting for I hope I can able to get one
This unit is too small ,sorry Mike.😢
Like it what kind of deal can I get?
How much is it? 🐝🐝
I like it❣️
Best
Price?
The tv placement is acceptable,good rear bath,I'd replace the toilet with a lavio dry flush.
Its decent but would want a little more room but I'll take it if i got a good deal,like under 100k.
