I was figuring closer to $1.3M, at $700K, it's a bargain. Does it require a CDL?
Is it automatic
We're the Russos I love this! However when oh when will they realize the dark wood is SO OUTDATED!! No one I mean no one who’s ever been in a light & bright RV, would never put that dark & claustrophobic dark wood in there! This is a few years old so maybe things have changed. I would also decline the electric love seat, get an electric fireplace & space for my dogs beds.
These don't have separate rooms for kid's or othere guests
@@r.d.r7658 I have seen some with separate rooms
After watching this video, I laid down for the night and decided that I'd go ahead and spend the money to buy one. So, I went out and bought one of these rigs. I must admit that they are super nice and worth every red-penny I had spent on it. However, as I was driving it back home from the dealership with a big'ol Texas sized grin, the rig started shaking really bad and I heard my wife screaming, ... "hunny, ... hunny, wake up, ... it's time for work!" So, sadly, I woke up and went to work at my job down at our local McDonalds. But ... it was sure was nice owning one in my dream while it lasted! ;-D
IM LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
That is funny. Thanks for the laugh.
you had me goin'.🤣
As a truck driver I may check in to getting a icon with a trailer for a garage love it they are beautiful
If I can ever afford a good Rv I’m definitely getting a super c rather than a class a Rv because I’d feel a lot more safe with a freightliner front end rather than a bus frontend where you are sitting literally inches from the front bumper and if you get in an accident I think you would do much better in a super c than a class a.
Or just don't get into accidents?
An electric TV, you say? Well, that will be better than my candle powered one. ;)
+Robert Destree actually, that candle powered TV of yours would come in pretty handy while boondocking 😉
+We're the Russos Does it include a wind up BluRay player? ;)
I enjoy the vulgar RV's, But I feel like these videos are for the lowest common denominator; a la reality TV, No offense intended to the Russos, You seem like good people.
He means the TV is on an electric lift. Duh.
Jeff Randell Wow, thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious. Look up "facetious" in the dictionary. That's what I was being.
This is my dream, I'd love to get something like that and travel the US and Canada for years. Always irks me when you see RVs people have and they never ever use them, they just sit there for years until they don't work anymore and get sold off for scrap.
A truck based RV is for me. Hundreds of millions of miles engineering experience makes sense.
thank you for showing what it looks like with the slides in. I have been wanting to know how much room to move around with them in. and your the first to show this, that I have seen. thank you very much.
+Ronald Day You're welcome Ronald!
Thanks for showing it with the slides in! I always try to imagine what a RV looks like with slides in.
I was watching Extreme RV's TV show and on a episode I watched they were creating RV's using trucks....that is so cool....
I actually expected the price to be much higher, fill the roof with solar panels and the only thing you would have to worry about then is the tanks. I would replace the toilets with high end compost toilets and eliminate the black tank all together and use the extra tank area for additional water storage. Then all you have left is grey water. With that change you could dry camp for weeks on end and then some. Hopefully it has over 1000 mile range without refueling. I would also use false walls behind the bedroom TV for a gun rack and other things for quick access. This thing is a beast!!!
Great ideas - check out our videos on ShowHauler, all custom and they go for between 350-500k (and better built than the Renegade). Since they're custom, you could absolutely have them install composting toilets and they have built in gun racks/safes behind false walls and panels :)
Having a fancy RV is one thing, having a fancy motor coach just proves you got that cash flow
If I win the power ball tomorrow night, I will buy one of these live on the road the rest of my life helping shelters, homeless people, churches etc.
Another very professional RV tour and video. That RV sort of blew my mind, what else can one say! Well done and thanks.
Great fun watching you guys review these fancy toys. As much as they would be nice the high price tags also brings higher operating and insurance costs, plus I would hate to leave it anywhere and tour around in the car. Also you're right about checking the usability when the slides are in, even more important if you run into freezing temperatures where slides can freeze in or out very easily. We have a 2012, 31 foot Winnebago Access Premier Class C, gives us lots of room for our travels, pulls our Mini Cooper and best of all it's paid for! Stay within your budget and you'll enjoy your travels even more. Cheers Gary
Gary, we'd love to see your Class C. We've some really nice ones and they seem easier to drive than the Class A.
Nicer and roomier than many, many singles apartments I've seen. And better equipped too.
This thing is still on the lot, I drive by it almost every day
Not surprised, those are some high dollar RV's and have a fairly specialized clientele.
At 700, 000 dollars! it better come with a butler and maid! thats a completely insain price tag for an RV!
Most of that cost is the truck and it's modifications to accomodate the RV box.
HOLY FUNGOLY!!! When you were standing in the rear shower,I was waiting for you to press a button for an elevator to the lower level! What a unit! I have to agree,for 3/4 of a Million dollars it should have tons more storage. Each of the Super "C's" have pro's,and con's, but I like the Jayco Seneca. Thank you for sharing,C-Ya!,,,,Peace!
Completely agree and we really like the Jayco.
No way.... an electric TV !!!!! So much better than the ones you have to pedal.
+dumpsterdude 😂 although the ones you have to pedal would be a good way to get a little exercise. 📺🚴
Electric retracting mechanism.
You know, I used to think that the Realm FS6 was the nicest rig I've ever seen under a million bucks! This one is def right up there in that category! You were "glowing" in the beginning of the walk-tru Joe lol!
I like how you took the time to show how the Ikon, and others, looked closed up too !! I have ALWAYS wondered what kind of space was available to move around when closed. There is not always a chance to open slides when parked. Safety is a concern, and while many of the buses look amazing...having that truck nose out there sure is a big comfort !! Nice demo btw !!
Very nicely done reviews. The Icon series is a bit too fancy for us common racers like myself. The time when the big class 8 super Cs make perfect sense is when loaded down with a race crew and all their stuff plus a trailer loaded with thousands of pounds of stuff. The safety and stability when towing is unmatched, fuel range is nice too. We carry 200 gallons of diesel and can go to most of our events out and back without needing fuel stops.
+David Lockhart when I [Joe] used to race, I'd rent a small trailer and pack all our stuff around the bike and squeeze as much as I could into the back of the pickup. Was always envious of the guys with RVs. I agree with you totally. If we had something like the Ikon when I raced, Kait would have made me sit outside and only come in when I had changed into clean clothes are the day was done!
$750k MSRP????
That's three times as much as I think it's worth! The mark-up on that thing is egregious!
Brilliant when I retire I can live in this in the highlands .
Thanks for the tour! AND thanks for giving the retail price of the coach, so many videos and no mention of the price.. :)
Where's 750k in value? The profit margin must be huge on these things.
For the price, I could buy a nice home and a Ferrari.
you can't drive a house
Exactly
A rig alone new is 200k
If I want to get a driving RV this is the one I want. Because of something happens to the engine is not hard to work on unlike the other ones.
Great beast it is 705,000 wow!!!
DOLLARS?
Red bear Alaska
My dream RV is a Renegade IKON on a freightliner chassis with the air suspension and…8 hours of battery power in case I want to sleep or leave the RV without running the genset.
Love this rig, but I do have to admit, this video ends at the perfect time, right after the part about retailing for $705000. Cool.
Electric TV ... as opposed to a gas TV?
LMAO
It's a upgrade from the hamster powered TV
Electric retracting mechanism, as opposed to using the generator.
Those dang wippersnapper kids and their newfangled electric thingies! I say if it's not coal powered it ain't worth a hoot!
@@HarrisonJBounel Exactly! Those new nuclear power plants are too risky. Stick to good ole' coal and fossil fuels!
Thats a house on wheels that thing is a beast.
So many things to go wrong and they will at the most awkward times. Inevitable it will spend more time at the auto electricians than on the road.
Bells and whistles are not the same as simple quality that gives peace of mind.
Me too Rose...I'll be knocking on their door should I win the lottery....My Brother, George would love to power one of those gorgeous babies.
Love the freeway noise
Ditch the silly big fridge for a slimmer two-sided fridge, and put a proper oven in there too. Be it a wall oven, or combo oven and range. And maybe don't have such a deep cabinet so the bed doesn't end up tucked under it.
I have two wishes.A:- UK roads were big enough to drive one of these and B:- I had the money to own one.This thing is mental
my dad needs an RV like this
WOW.... didn't know about truck Rv's .....too cool.
Good lord, now that there is an RV!
That it is Kato!
What happens when the fridge breaks? It's so huge and the entry door is so small. How do you replace it?
Remove a front slide to get the old one out & new one in.
it hydraulically drops out the floor. 😂
Reverse the polarity of how you got it in. Really? Refrigerators are the most reliable appliance in your home. I've never had a refrigerator go out to be repaired, only replaced. Average life 20 years.
You don’t. You sell the RV to the next sucker and go buy a new one.
It's a beautiful truck and worth every penny. Why wasn't the video professionally done? With all of the extraneous noise, I know that I didn't correctly hear several of your detailed descriptions. Any way, I'll take one.
Currently, have retired from RV life, cause of medical conditions/small retirement finances. Retirmenet funds have not met with the international financial index. SS Ins. is nothing, does not combat cost of living. Plus some genes, grow older faster; can not keep up with traveling.
My favorite is a small TOY HAULER; because there's a lot of things you could do in the attached rear garage and if you don't get a fifth wheel toy hauler, just conventional toy hauler, you can always get a new TOW UNIT: ( Truck or SUV); not out a lot of money compared to the class A or Class C motorhomes. Any types of RV Trailers, is having a diversified RV portfolio. I ENJOY the garage portion, great protected garage- patio, plus some have bath tubs and frt kitchen in the floorplan. I hate galley kitchen, cause of traffic flow issues. Garage is great storage for toys, or thro in air mattress, great sleeping. Slide outs are okay, but just another problem, when least expected. Solar panels are must have, better then generator….
Class A Motorhomes okay if you're going to be mobile, & have lot of bank accounts for infinity of repairs. . They're very expensive to maintain/ operate, they have a lot of toys on them, so be ready for breakdowns, warranties are useless. Accessories are known to break break break… If you wreck them, Ins. are very poor to pay out!! Not many mechanics really know how to work on them, expensive $$ beast. Good mechanics are working in union auto garages, not RV garages. Diesels are smelly, both around the patio and smells lurk in to the units interiors. I ditched my diesel, could not stand the smell of diesel around the coach.
Class C motorhomes are very mobile to get around, sleeper over the cab is a waste of time : either too hot or too cold for good sleeping and if your senior, it's very risky getting in and out of there. Plus if there's two people sleeping up there, the frame over the cab really can't support much activity. Class C is more affordable, less toys on them compared to the Class A & the upkeep is considerable less, plus USA parks are designed to fit class C, not class A.
I would prefer a truck frame chassis with a trailer attached to it, because if you don't like the truck frame chassis, always get another one, just remove the trailer, get a new Chev /Ford truck frame, and attach the trailer on to the frame.. Engines are up front, so repairs are much easier/ cheaper, cause of being accessible.
I have: Class A, Trailer and Truck camper. Truck / SUV are the only two of all of the above mentioned units, which have Lemon Law Protections. RV in general, carry no help from the courts and RV warranties, are collection of A-Z products and not insured by one manufacturer. My trailer is great for long length stays in the desert, Class A is okay, but expensive for interstate traveling and my camper has over 500,000 miles on it, as this is my weekend RV and gets a lot of usage. Wish my camper had a Murphy Bed, hate the over head sleeper and most of the time, sleep on floor. Store my units on my property and visit them daily.
SIDEBAR: Ageing, lack of finances, is not our friend for RV’s and traveling. Remember, RV’s are not loved by everyone, there is equal love/ hate for RV’s, as many call us trailer trash. Many cultures invading USA are not warm/fussy towards RV’s.
Stellar boon-docking is great, when traveling day to day. Prefer to pay to park and received full hookups and use the unit, which is was intended for: FULL HOOKUPS. Remember, there is no LEMON LAW to protect RV units, so off road n boon-dock with caution, as the units are built very fragile & not intended for moon terrain walking. Snow n freezing temps, are not RV best friend, no matter how they are rated, they have no LEMON LAW protection against severe low temps. Remember, over night fees for RV camping can be pricey, some are reaching $100 ( PLUS) per night and more and more are privately owned w/ annual membership by prescription.
Point of Interest, no RV was designed to travel: Snow, freezing temps and day after day rain/wind storms. Extreme weather quickly takes years off of the RV coach, there were not built for this abuse.
Here is a question for all RV owners: Do you advertise your bank account finances to the world? Reply: No!!!. So why advertise the cost of your RV to the world: via fancy paint jobs, luxury tow units, luxury tow boats, chrome everything/ anything. RV’s who advertise their wealth, are only advertising to the nation, I have arrived in wealth and heck with your thoughts. Flashy RV’s ruin lifestyles for everyone. Stellar & non-monochromatic downplayed units, fit in everywhere and are less offensive to the nation, which do not have RV’s. We live in a country of extreme biases. Less is really more, when traveling and exploring USA.
littlefreelibrary.org/start/
I belong to this free library, allows me to pick up books for free, anywhere in the USA and return to any location. Every city has this and is free and better then internet books. I have spent days in parking lots, using Wifi for free, when many stores and restaurants provide it for free. Now the little library, allows for national library, where ever anyone travels for free. RV’s don’t need TV/ IT/when we have free books at our disposal. Remember, some books, government archived shows, you tube, news, etc. can be download from IT for free, providing 100 hrs of viewing, anytime, anywhere, without IT connections.
Personally I wouldn't care about the reduce storage because if I was going to buy this I would almost always be hooked up to a trailers which has much more storage than a few bays in the bottom of the rv.
When I win the lottery, This and a inclosed trailer for Truck ,motorcycle,and some tools,go on road as soon as winter hits...
The 2 sofa couches are useless for what we need. We are not midgets and no kids. Full dinette table with facing seating not necessary, that would make room for a decent sized couch. That kids play pen couch would get replaced with a very expensive zero gravity message chair. Redesign that area and the kitchen counter to something useful. International Lonestar cab with Cummins 500hp+ power and a 13 spd Eaton manual, 3.08:1 axles, adjustable height rear air ride, tag axle disconnect, the plushest captain's chair with massage and capable of dragging 10,000 lbs+ car hauler is an absolute must. Paint it all black polyurethane, I'll do my own custom paint colors to match the trailer because I have yet to see a good paint job.
GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY, calling that rig a "Beast", is so appropriate! Those batteries alone are about $4K apiece I bet!? Something to deff dream about (and maybe even shoot for lol)! Great walk-through you two...Cheers!
+roberto abrams Thanks! Not sure how much the batteries were but we did see on a similar coach that the chassis alone is about $220k.
+We're the Russos Whoaaa! You know, whenever I attend Rv shows, I've noticed that after the 3rd hour of being there, the Motorhomes all begin to look alike...the exception being the High End vehicles, they never cease to amaze me!
+roberto abrams our problem when we're shopping for an TV that we'd go in the high end RVs and then everything else looked sub par!
+We're the Russos Haha yes, I can totally see that happening!
The NEWMAR SUPERSTAR will be a game changer in the SUPER C series.
oi please let this kinda be my next rv omg wow breathing rv life
Well crafted super C😁, 👏👏👏👏.
I'm buying 1 of these when I win the lotto and going on a cross country trip to the east coast
I love the review when all slides are in.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.
Jordan Heller - no one cares
by the way, well done guys on the video. glad to see you all doing this part of rv life
+vegasdavetv Thanks Dave!
vegasdavetv blackhead
The renegade ikon for sure.
I'm glad to see they are using hydraulics as the gear slide out mechanism is useless
Keep up to great work on the videos
That's bigger than my apartment. ..quick somebody buy me one.
I thought this was a review for a semi truck at first and was like "man this things gas must be shit"
That's great. I'm surprised the hallway is so narrow and the bed is unusable without the slides open, but maybe that's a rare use-case.
Great review guys! That is one heck of a super C! We are shopping for a class B too full time in next year....(possibly the Winnebago Era 70C) a teeny bit smaller, haha! Thanks again for another great video! 😄
Oh cool. Our friends, The Snowmads, just got the Winnie Travato and it's really nice. We could see ourselves in something like that.
+We're the Russos I like the idea of being able to go where the larger rigs can't go....the Travato looks like a great rig too! Oh the fun of RV shopping! 😄 You guys enjoy the weekend ahead!
everyone talks about license. lmao this shit is over 700 grand... Beside, I cant fcking imagine the cost of fuel...... I rather get a nice ass house in texas + Class C RV and travel around with that cost.
The title of this video should be changed to this "Only if you are multi-millionaire, this is the one for you." XD
man lee It probably gets 7-8 mpg My Peterbilt grossing 70,000 lbs w/oversized loads gets 6 mpg.
man lee - Absolutely, this is a motorhome for "millionaires". Unless of course, you want to get a mortgage on one of these and live in it for 30 years. Seriously, this is for people with money, cash, moolah, bread, coin, cabbage, loot, etc. Get my drift?
Actually most people lease these... As the maintenance cost and repair would out class your worry on fuel cost! I mean a set of tires set you back $10,000.00 for a set of ten! As tire prices have sky rocketed...
Compared to similar sized RVs the fuel burn won’t be that much different.
You can get a 2015-16 Kenworth with around 200k miles for $55k plus a badass 5th wheel rv for another $60-70 and that would be a fraction of what this costs
Holey moley! That's incredible.
If I win the lottery!
No kidding!
We're the Russos We
Rose 1962
My prayers are with you! Good luck!
Rose 1962 me too😉😄
you can do it
This poor guy seems very confused. He's showing an RV that's obviously and international chassis and he keeps calling it a Freightliner. Even says it's a Freightliner in the description of the video.
I Looked at the Renegade unit But being a 6'5 male I hit my head getting into the drivers seat of this unit .I didn't like it for that. I LOVE TRUCK UNITS FOR A MOBILE HOME / RV, To many RECALLS on the Freighliner / Volvo. I'll take the 48 ''Tandem, Quad slide-out Kingbed rear2 bathrooms stackable wash & a dryer, heated floors. Rear Car Garage with 10k High gloss polised Lift- gate.Thats my unit, yes 48'' feet, not 45

now we talking rv. lol. soon as I hit the lotto
+vegasdavetv Ok - if you hit the lotto can we go for a ride in it?
+We're the Russos if I hit powerball I think I will buy you your own. I'm sure I can get a deal on 2.
+vegasdavetv done! And we'll do the same for you 😉
Joe ouch!to the pocketbook The moving house. Leo will love it. HI kate.
When we hit the lottery’s 😂
I was loving it until I saw the singletrack path with the slideouts closed. Omg.
Love the looks of these but I can't help thinking they waste a lot of space within the vehicle length compared to a more traditional bus type RV. The engine sticks out of the front so much and there is no living space above the engine.
Looks VS practicality. Get this for looks
What traditional RV ?? 😅😅 , u mean camper trailers ?? , u falsely landed in here
Bait n switch! Cool big rig to Freightliner... 😞
It’s like living inside a Transformers
Well the whole video I thought the TV was in a stupid place until the very end. You forgot to show the opposite side of the interior lol
That was real informative,now that is the way to show these,and given the price.just 2 things,how many gallon tank for fuel,and fresh water tank???
I'm going to be a Snow Bird and I think I just found my Condo on wheels!!
That was not a soft drawer close at all! You slammed that drawer and it caught you by surprise.
When you inevitably need to replace those leather chairs and sofas how the hell are you supposed to get them out of that tiny door and get new ones in?
Typically they'll remove one of the windows and take them out that way if it doesn't fit through the door.
I bought an electric TV but a Renegade Ikon Super C didn't come with it. I went to Walmart to buy it. Did I go to the wrong place?
What are the torque numbers? Horsepower don’t really mean much on Diesel engines.
I'm pretty sure it's between 1900 and 2050 ft lbs
It would be nice if you showed the RV that was in the picture
Wow, I need to win the Lottery!
Hugs, MommaFaye
I'm not quite sure why this video popped up in my feed but I do have questions. First that is just about the craziest truck I've ever seen. Second exactly who would this thing be marketed toward and why would they want this over, say a bus.
How does it do in the 1/4 mile tho?
Is the fridge dual power...propane/electric or just electric?
perfect
I wanted to see the international. That why trun you program on. Was very disappointed when you went the fright liner.
You should have filmed this someplace quiet. I could hear the nearby highway even during the interior sequences.
3:46 electric tv wow we have electric TVs now I need to change mine its powers by water .
for somebody talking shit about his grammer ... its " powered " not " powers " you cant afford the tires and wheels so stfu
Electric retracting mechanism.
wrong spot for a tv it goes in front of the couch
wow it has air horns
I could see my self driving through the camp ground looking for a sight..I would be roughing it.
Is there a CD player for the driver?
Basically a commercial selling this coach catered to the multi millionaire status elites . Lifestyles of the rich . Ninety nine percent of us can only dream of owning this rig .
Aqui de Portugal. 1000 Estrelas!
Right ... Driving down the road and whoever isn't driving can sit at the table and have lunch ... With the slide out in the extended position ... Definitely a used car salesman ...
Is this semi has a space to load the container ? Or viable option for transportation of goods ? I don't think so
I did not see a shifter for the transmission. Is it an automatic?
Allison 6-speed.
2:02 had me dying 😆
Wow ... IOL..... who would have thought
One other thing ,before I forget does it have seatbelts any where else for passengers???
