The van is much more ‘nimble’ meaning you can pick up and go whenever you want. No hooking up to the car, no weight distribution hitch, generator on board, easier to fit into those tight spaces like national and state parks. Cons to the fan - less storage, less interior apace and possibly cost depending on what you want to use as a tow vehicle.
Did you ever get a chance to see the Rangeline? I may have missed the follow-up video with the discussion. Thanks for the videos - they are helpful and entertaining.
You should check out panoramic rv which is the best van based on promaster van. They have 5 years of warranty. But no dealers in US yet. Neil’s videos show how good their build quality is. Much Much nicer than rangeline.
I believe in the past you said that your HOA does not allow motorhomes to be parked in the driveway, but eventually I see you in a Class C. Fixed bed, fixed dinette and a dry bath. We went from a Class A diesel to a Class B Sprinter van and ended up with the Class C Spinter chassis with a box. Great compromise!
You are correct-no motorhomes allowed. We’d have to move if we were to get a class C. Or just travel full time 😉A class C Sprinter Chassis does sound awesome!
I agree about the sinks inside the wetbath, absolutely unnecessary. The only airstream I like is the Nest, don’t understand why the stopped making them. With all the things you’ve had go wrong with your van, it’s funny that you worry about a power bed failing 😂
Hi Bob and Hillary🤗 Boy ..those are pretty nice.. airstreams... we haven't seen a Rangeline yet ? That will be nice to 👀 .. I do like B vans better then having to pull the trailer.. I agree with Bob.. then you have to buy a truck of some kind to be able to pull it ..and that's more money .. Not for us.. we will stick with our B van it works for our needs ... Thank you 😁to you both .. for taking us along .. Good night 😴 ❤️
You guys are awesome, I've been following for quite awhile. Great content and your personality really shines through. I would ask one favor, not so much camera movement... Just feels like I'm on a rollercoaster sometimes. I'm just new to the youtube game, and am definitely not an expert, but would just help my enjoyment of your videos! You guys are always welcome in the midwest if you are in the area! Keep up the great work.
Like you two, we've had multiple issues w/ Thor and although I can't afford to trade out, I do feel quality components & build are MOST important. I will choose a reputable custom builder over the mass builders next time. Companies like Nomadik Customs have tremendous reputations and provide peace of mind to enjoy trips into the wilds instead of repair shops.
@taurusview9 Honestly, consider checking a few custom builders. Even a used 3500 with a solid build would be worth some thought IMO. This is an interesting builder below. I'm betting aside from the BR, you will like some features they offer, especially the van @ 21:40 ruclips.net/video/kInDVtxqdjk/видео.html&feature=shares
At just started watching this one but the question makes us laugh. We both always yell YES it was a mistake to buy the one you have as it was such a lemon. But you never would have known that would have been the case so nothing you could have done. ❤ happy 2023 to you both!
Happy New Year guys! I looked at Rangeline, the bed set up in the back and the way it folds out of the way made it a no/go for me. I wish they had designed it as a single piece fold up. After going back and forth with the salesman, even he agreed that was a poor design. Would love to know what you guys think about that. Thanks for the video.
Hmmm..something happened to my post. I second Panoramic RV (Canada)for sure. The only drawback is the wait time..2 years..but they just opened a place in So Cal…so it may get shorter. Check out Ultramobility On you tube..Neil is the man. He JUST his a week ago and if HE bought one you know they are solid. Sorry But Thor is lacking in quality..but I don’t have to tell you that! Ridgeline is preordered…it’s their first year so I certainly wouldn’t get one. Let them get the bugs out! They tried and failed to copy the fiberglass trailer with their NEST. Airstream used to be quality..no longer and your paying for the name. Buy the best available..instead of settling for cheaply made crap. Sorry if this is offensive but I’m trying to help you out. If you want a trailer..go Escape Trailer Industries..also in Canada. Older models you can find..you won’t be disappointed. Both will import them for you…hassle free.

Not for us.. we will stick with our B van it works for our needs ...
Thank you 😁to you both .. for taking us along ..

Thank you for this constructive advice! We appreciate it and you! We will try harder to keep it steady. 😃

Same. Wish we would have known before we bought ours.
Lol...that was funny trips to repair shop. Hope all works out. Thor 20A is on my list but I am getting cold feet :(

Bahahahaha!!! You’re not wrong! Happy 2023 to you guys!!!!
Have you guys looked at the Wingamm Oasi 540.1?
We hadn’t and went and looked it up just now and it’s looks amazing from first glance!

Happy new year! We will let you know once we get to tour it!
Do you have a long term review on your van? That’s what i’m looking for.
The sink is for using the bathroom, more sanitary than using your kitchen sink. Nice tour!
That’s a good point!
That point edge TT is a Bowlus. The most expensive tt ever made. They are still made today.
Oh wow!
Airstreams are nice but not a fan of the Sprinter chassis. Have you been enjoying the power of your Promaster?
I love it
Road chief ~100k.
I have moved from a travel trailer to a B+ and will never go back. You can't beat the flexibility of a driveable unit.
We do love the B+!
Now its time for a cross country road trip to pick up a Rangeline. Can't wait for the video to drop! See Patrick at Colonial RV in New Jersey!
Haha! Right!
I agree re the sink in the wetbath--just a waste of space!
Agree!
@@Vancaskeys Who wants to spit into their kitchen sink?
I LOVE when you do these kind of videos 👍 have you ever looked at Grech class Bs ?? 😱😳 If only money grew on trees 🤣
We haven’t but we would love to have a money tree 🤣😂
Don’t forget, Thor owns Airstream.
That said I actually like Thor.
The Rangeline is amazing Btw.
Lol! True! Can’t wait to see it in person!
Doesn’t Thor own airstream? Does that mean Airstream class B’s quality are niw same as Thor’s??
Have had 9 different styles of rvs In 30 yrs never a quality issue got a new B jayco swift
2022 quality is also poor I think it’s just the times 😢
Agreed.

Sounds like we need a Canada trip asap! Thanks for your insight! Always appreciated!
