Hope you and the Kitty Cats are having fun down south! Yayyyy! So happy y'all made it safe & sound! Thank you so much for stopping by. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and hangout. You are toooo cool! :) We had a great time. Your video here turned out really good. That was fun! I'm going to edit the tour of your van & get it up by Wednesday I'm pretty sure. Hope you're relaxing & having a great time so far! Enjoy that fresh ocean air! :)
+luther7449 thank you! yeah we love the sprinter van look. It turned out to be really fun & happy we got it. Thank you so much for checking it out & subscribing! We are thrilled to pieces to have ya! Super nice to RUclips meet you! :)
Sounds like you guy's are having a blast. Tell them thanks for the tour and anything with a Mercedes-Benz symbol on it has my heart melting from the start, hehe.
Beautiful van!! And great vid! Glad to see you're finally in Florida.....happy for you! Ditto on the electric idea from this channel.....lol My Amazon wish list has electric burners, grill, heaters.....you name it. lol
+Smiling Babs Yes their van is truly beautiful! and they are awesome people.. me too - seemed to take forever to break free but it is good to be down here. :) I have always figured if I am paying for electric why spend one extra penny on propane. I go so far as to often just run water thru my coffee pot and use that for dishes. lol
+Pidasian Hippie Hahaha! The Woobie's loved Wanderdano after the 1st 15 minutes of barking lol! I was scared the dogs would freak lil Vinny & Keike out haha! They are a lil overwhelming at times hahaha! There'a a bunch of em lol! Thank you very much! :)
Oh my I watch them, and what nice people! I am so glad you connected with them, and sounds like when you meet up again in Key West you will have a blast! Tell them I said hi,my husband and I are going to Spend a week at Shades of rGreen on Disney property then travel to Key West in our RV! Have fun!
+Janet Clement They are so awesome. They are exactly how they seem on YT - so wecoming and nice! We are making plans to do some fun stuff. We all are fans of you - all the best
+Janet Clement Hi Janet! Thank you so much! We think you are a sweetheart yourself and enjoy your videos. Hope y'all have fun at Disney! That sounds really cool! Cant wait to see the videos! Fun! :) Wanderdano is right we are fans of yours for sure! You are one tough durable lil Hottie Momma! They way y'all just go and go is fantastic! :)
I absolutely love your Roadtrek! Looks like you're doing well! I've been watching your videos. You're right... we are similar. Love the animals! lol I went to Galveston this weekend and made some videos. I'm working on putting it together and will post it soon!
+Freedom Traveler Ooppss sorry. I thought I posted this on @Kimmie koolbeans! I have also subscribed to you Wander Dano! Look forward to following your videos!
Love Kimmie Koolbeans & Bart!!! I really miss their RUclips channel.... Do you know what happened to their RUclips Channel??? It has been deleted. I hope that they are OK. Really miss watching their Florida RUclips channel.
Very Nice :) Awesome video Bart and Kimmie are great people. When you look at build quality,style and value retention the high end class b vans are a nice choice but I would be afraid to truly use it hard core.
+BlackTop Boondocker I agree. But I am afraid of rough roads in mine too.. I think they have a higher ground clearance thanks.. Heck I think my friggin vsr dies too. Lol
Dano, I will definetly take yours over that nice Merc. Much cheaper buyin and also parts for the drivetrain. Looking at an 03’ leisure travel 2A just the perfect size!
Are these selling for list or should a buyer expect to pay x% less than list? The way this model is configured, the list price is $150K+? This is the model I'm looking at and I would really appreciate some input from someone with purchase experience. Thanks.
As I understand it, all RVs have a huge markup. I know someone that paid 30% below MSRP for a class c, but class b coaches like this Roadtrek are in much higher demand, so you might only get 15% off, but you shouldn't pay anywhere near MSRP for any RV.
Out west going up mountains great...however on windy day ...hold on tight The batteries don't hold up charge ...here in the Florida not so great .... Now we need a equalizer...the suspension can't be improved... a really bumpy ride the dog won't stay in the back....We do have satellite for TV works .... Check micro wave during a bumpy ride some part stopped the glass tray from turning ...had to replaced.... Air bag problem...one month at mbenz...because of repair road trek did not recall ours ....repair corrected the problem with two trips to the dealer MB Very useful ...got a metor for the solar panel about $40 ...easier to keep track of solar panels ...both solar panel and panel for batteries etc also replaced.... Now the good reason...its only 23 ft and the ride is good ...
+Nery Wasserman ohh mine can catch wind too. Over 9ft tall and short wheelbase... It will get squirrelly. Lol my arms know today they were in a 7+ hour battle yesterday.. Lol
+Howie Roll It is beautiful. I love the idea of the generator that charges all those batteries while driving. Being able to run the ac like they can would change how I go RV'ing... maybe one day :)
That's Nice but more things ta Break down- like the heated flooring would be a good example of excess maintenance, Justin recently posted great points towards having a generator & having less batteries & actually less Solar he explains it well as to why Older is & can be Better! I Much Prefer Cousin Eddie Over the Whoopie Wagon!Thanx for the Video...
+Bill Baxter Hahaha! Good call! Yes they are Longhaired Chihuahua's lol! Great guess! It was surprisingly cozy with them. They lay on us at home too so it wasn't much different. Then at night we put a bed & a gate up in the front and they sleep up there. They have a play pen at home so they liked it ok :)
Wander Dano So far this is at the top of list. Hopefully the manufacturer will be able to make a few changes, we want a vinyl wood look floor, the dogs hate ceramic tile. A single TV in the living room is enough, solar panel system and storage is more important than a fireplace. Sales guy said the company will make changes but he's on commission. thormotorcoach.com/tuscany/tag/
I find the opposite to be true. Most motor home owners use their own bathroom facilities. The reason I purchased a motor home was "no public bathrooms, no hotel beds, or no eating out while traveling. Most of the people we park next to in RV resorts all use their own bathroom showers and toilets. You know they are cleaned because you cleaned them. You know what is on the sheets and blankets because you are the only person who slept on them. You also can feel free to sit on the toilet seat because the last butt to sit there was yours. As a woman I have mastered the "Art of the Squat" but my motor home eliminates public bathrooms as much as possible when traveling. Kim and Bart have a very, nice, luxury motor home. I would shower in that small bathroom before any public campground shower.
+ProvidingResources yes.. There are many like that too. For a class b it is a little different. Lol my uncle has had a 36ft class a for about 20 years.. They will use the toilet but they all use camp showers. In my travels I have been lucky that most bath houses have been pretty clean and I just wear shower shoes.
+Nery Wasserman maybe they will see your post and might have some insights. Or go to Kimmie koolbeans channel and they could share what they may know about the issues with your roadtrek. Hope you can get it figured out. All the best
So.. this is like a 3 year old video showing some others peoples RV. Actually, people ask me over and over to show the RV and I try my best not to do repeats of that constantly. :) I think I show a bunch of what many consider boring ~ traveling, cooking, sunsets, wandering, camping spots and hiking videos. I tend to share the "why" videos more than the far more "popular" drama stuff. Maybe there will be some others you enjoy...
I loved the visit with Bart and Kim good job of capturing the tour of RV! Thank you!
+Nancy KoolBeans I had a great time with them. They said great things about you. Glad you enjoyed the video. All the best
Hope you and the Kitty Cats are having fun down south! Yayyyy! So happy y'all made it safe & sound! Thank you so much for stopping by. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and hangout. You are toooo cool! :) We had a great time. Your video here turned out really good. That was fun! I'm going to edit the tour of your van & get it up by Wednesday I'm pretty sure. Hope you're relaxing & having a great time so far! Enjoy that fresh ocean air! :)
+kimmie koolbeans II thank you both for being welcoming. It is windy but warm and perfect here
Wander Dano Oh good! I am so glad the weather is nice for you! Yayyyyy!!!!
+kimmie koolbeans I just love the outside view of your RV. wow Thanks to Dano I'll just go over and sub you guys too!!
+luther7449 thank you! yeah we love the sprinter van look. It turned out to be really fun & happy we got it. Thank you so much for checking it out & subscribing! We are thrilled to pieces to have ya! Super nice to RUclips meet you! :)
+kimmie koolbeans The new 2016 VoltStart System with Lithium Batteries looks pretty sweet. Does Roadtrek offer you to update to the new system?
Sounds like you guy's are having a blast. Tell them thanks for the tour and anything with a Mercedes-Benz symbol on it has my heart melting from the start, hehe.
+darfirst We did - they are great people!
Beautiful van!! And great vid! Glad to see you're finally in Florida.....happy for you!
Ditto on the electric idea from this channel.....lol My Amazon wish list has electric burners, grill, heaters.....you name it. lol
+Smiling Babs Yes their van is truly beautiful! and they are awesome people.. me too - seemed to take forever to break free but it is good to be down here. :)
I have always figured if I am paying for electric why spend one extra penny on propane. I go so far as to often just run water thru my coffee pot and use that for dishes. lol
lol That's funny, I bought a tea kettle to heat water on one of the burners for dishes.
+Smiling Babs that works too!! :)
Beautiful RV. They seem like fun people to hang out with. Happy Florida!
+Pidasian Hippie they are both a blast!! :)
Wander Dano Sounds like a great time. How did the kitties get along with the puppies?
+Pidasian Hippie we didn't try.. i was afraid i would then have to live with cat poop on EVERYTHING.. lol
Wander Dano HAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!
+Pidasian Hippie Hahaha! The Woobie's loved Wanderdano after the 1st 15 minutes of barking lol! I was scared the dogs would freak lil Vinny & Keike out haha! They are a lil overwhelming at times hahaha! There'a a bunch of em lol! Thank you very much! :)
Oh my I watch them, and what nice people! I am so glad you connected with them, and sounds like when you meet up again in Key West you will have a blast! Tell them I said hi,my husband and I are going to Spend a week at Shades of rGreen on Disney property then travel to Key West in our RV! Have fun!

+Wander Dano Thanks a million! You are now family! hahaha! :)
+kimmie koolbeans same for you guys... And the wobbies too😊
I absolutely love your Roadtrek! Looks like you're doing well! I've been watching your videos. You're right... we are similar. Love the animals! lol I went to Galveston this weekend and made some videos. I'm working on putting it together and will post it soon!

+Freedom Traveler No problem! lol Their RV is awesome. All the best :)
Love Kimmie Koolbeans & Bart!!! I really miss their RUclips channel.... Do you know what happened to their RUclips Channel??? It has been deleted. I hope that they are OK. Really miss watching their Florida RUclips channel.
I haven't seen their channel in the longest time. I have no idea
@@WanderDano Thanks for your reply.
@@sunshinehappylady8314 No problem. :-)
@@WanderDano Thanks!
Very Nice :) Awesome video Bart and Kimmie are great people. When you look at build quality,style and value retention the high end class b vans are a nice choice but I would be afraid to truly use it hard core.
+BlackTop Boondocker I agree. But I am afraid of rough roads in mine too.. I think they have a higher ground clearance thanks.. Heck I think my friggin vsr dies too. Lol
Sweet....I like the bathroom rug usage.
+MommaG I did too!
Dano, I will definetly take yours over that nice Merc. Much cheaper buyin and also parts for the drivetrain. Looking at an 03’ leisure travel 2A just the perfect size!
Those are nice but I too prefer mine and the 03 would be a good find. all the best of luck
I knew you would get along great with them!
+Janet Clement I knew I would too. :) they are exactly like they are in videos. super cool :)
This was a predictable encounter! Cheers all you guys! Safe travels Dano!
+roberto abrams Yeah. we got along great right from the start. they are awesome people :)
+roberto abrams Hahaha! Cheers to you to Roberto! Hope you & your family are safe & happy! :)
+kimmie koolbeans Awww We think you are awesome to WanderDano! We had a blast! :)
+kimmie koolbeans same for me!
Very Nice do you have their you tube channel ?
+REVEREND DAVID HAMM yes - their channel is Kimmie Koolbeans
Thank you Dano
+REVEREND DAVID HAMM no problem.. You will enjoy their videos
Do you have a Face book ?
+REVEREND DAVID HAMM no.. I may be different than some.. I don't tie to all the social media things.. I wouldn't keep up. Lmao

what ever happened to Bart & Kim? Kimmie Koolbeans her youtube channel is no longer there? why??
I'm not really sure - we all kind of lost contact.
nice folks, great rig...
Out west going up mountains great...however on windy day ...hold on tight
The batteries don't hold up charge ...here in the Florida not so great ....

Thanks for the great video. Also the great idea. If it rattles too much wedge toilet paper next to it :)
Hahaha! Thank you! Happy to help :)
Does Bert and kimmie still have a RUclips channel can't find it now
I don't know if they do
WOW..... very nice!!
+Howie Roll It is beautiful. I love the idea of the generator that charges all those batteries while driving. Being able to run the ac like they can would change how I go RV'ing... maybe one day :)
Good video Wander Dano :)
+Allen Albertson thanks!
They are fun people to follow.
+Sandra McQuay just as cool in person! :)

+Dsanford12 Channel is Kimmie Koolbeans - here is a link ruclips.net/channel/UC_7Azkh7dQd1Ph41vFGRz3Q
Nice rig!
+Arkansas Mike I had RV envy :)
Me too lol
I use the kitchen draw to keep it open for the bathroom
Then its a dressing room
That's a good idea. I'm going to try that. 👍🏼
That's Nice but more things ta Break down- like the heated flooring would be a good example of excess maintenance, Justin recently posted great points towards having a generator & having less batteries & actually less Solar he explains it well as to why Older is & can be Better! I Much Prefer Cousin Eddie Over the Whoopie Wagon!Thanx for the Video...
Patience...Plus must be aware...Getting all done ...
Still like the unit and easy to park in smaller areas
+Nery Wasserman I agree totally! :)
nice.
+Dan Travels AWESOME people
Sweet rig!
+Uncle Lar simply beautiful
Very nice rig.
+john charles I had RV envy lol
What happened to kimmie and Bart
Not sure - we lost touch and haven't spoken in a while.
👍🏻👍🏻
You're in the Sarasota area?
+pokerfacetodd I was.... :)
Did she say they have 5 dogs? Seems like it might be a bit crowded in there. Unless there Chihuahuas.
+Bill Baxter that's what they have... the WOOBIES !! they are a riot
+Bill Baxter Hahaha! Good call! Yes they are Longhaired Chihuahua's lol! Great guess! It was surprisingly cozy with them. They lay on us at home too so it wasn't much different. Then at night we put a bed & a gate up in the front and they sleep up there. They have a play pen at home so they liked it ok :)
+Wander Dano Hahahaha! They sure loved you after the 1st 15 minutes of loud barking lol! They looked for you after you left haha! :)
+kimmie koolbeans I had fun with them
I've often hated being 6'4" tall, especially when shopping for a Motor Home.
+46619TAB That makes it stuff for a class B
Wander Dano
Even if we were shorter, we have the 2 Greyhound and there isn't enough closet space for his clothes in a Class A.
+46619TAB right - class A's are awesome -- you will find the right one
Wander Dano So far this is at the top of list. Hopefully the manufacturer will be able to make a few changes, we want a vinyl wood look floor, the dogs hate ceramic tile. A single TV in the living room is enough, solar panel system and storage is more important than a fireplace. Sales guy said the company will make changes but he's on commission. thormotorcoach.com/tuscany/tag/
+46619TAB they can usually accomodate nearly every desire. Thos is a great brand from what I have heard.

i use the mats for the sofa...
now we are having a problem with the batteries
Now we need a equalizer
Also got a killer switch and new alarm system
+Nery Wasserman maybe they will see your post and might have some insights. Or go to Kimmie koolbeans channel and they could share what they may know about the issues with your roadtrek. Hope you can get it figured out. All the best
So show us your travels. How you are different. Showing your van is getting so old. How do you live for travelling.
So.. this is like a 3 year old video showing some others peoples RV. Actually, people ask me over and over to show the RV and I try my best not to do repeats of that constantly. :) I think I show a bunch of what many consider boring ~ traveling, cooking, sunsets, wandering, camping spots and hiking videos.
