This has got to be my favorite van rv so far. Much more civilized with a microwave and tv. Love the outside rear storage and the bedroom with 2 twin or 1 king set up. It just feels more comfortable to be in.
Nice drive down the interstate. I was broke down on that bridge one time about 15 yrs ago. Nice drive, nice campground, great meal. Thanks for bringing us along.
So you can't have the screens and blinds working at the same time? It would be nice to sleep with the windows open but still have access to the shades... And if I'm out in the woods I definitely want screens lol. I agree with you about the bathroom/shower setup-I don't love a wet bath but I can live with it if I have to. Here, you don't lose more than an inch or two of space but gain a dry bathroom, win-win!
I would like to see that ‘nice little appliance’ that will give you a faucet for the outdoor kitchen. This is a lot like the Winnebago View I had for about eight years. Great manufacturer, good phone support, easy to find shops that work on Winnebago coaches. The size of that fridge, the gas available, the garage tell me this thing is designed to be out there for quite a long stay if you wanted. Nice digs.
I usually poke fun at people who go to new RV reviews and then bitch at the price.. but yeah. This is more expensive than some high end ClassCs I looked at. I think you can actually get an Airstream ClassC cheaper than that. Very heavy chassis for such a small rig, even for a 4 season. Its.. very American.
@Jon Phan's Promotions you have to consider that van is like 50-60k new alone. Then price building lithium solar system that's going to run you 15-20k. All the appliances...rv fridges specially big ones can cost 2k+. I'm not trying to justify an 180k price tag I think it's high, the class b/b+ market is high in general but I think it's mainly because your able to store them in your drive way that's why they command a hefty price. Class b/b+ start at 90k all the way to airstream b's at 250k.
Astonishing that the base price is $208k. I know, I know. Everything is more expensive now. Still, this is at least $50k more than I thought it would be.
And ironically…being smaller often makes RVs MORE expensive, as they need everything the bigger models have (oven, bathroom, awnings, bed, etc) BUT in non-standard, more expensive way to fit in the smaller spaces or be moveable/convertible. But there are still options in all prices ranges,like just getting a used U-haul truck and converting it yourself.
@@smc130 200k house? Must be nice. You couldn’t find any house in my area for under 800 k, and every modest 1960s ranch home on a small lot off a busy, noises road is asking just over a million dollars. But in a city with a big employers paying well, and near the beach….so I guess no surprise housing is pricey.
I kept waiting and waiting to see the interior! I wanted to see what it looked like! But we saw plug ins and windows, never had a good view of the inside! Very frustrating.
Great video sir! I lived in a class c many many years ago and I wish that platform had these amenities! Only downside is the dinette and what inflation has done on vehicles
15:40 We are looking for a 19’ RV with a DRY bath (separate shower and toilet). Not a fan of wet bath where you shower on top of the toilet. RV manufacturers, come up with a design which smartly separates the shower and keeping the toilet dry. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hotel $100 per night is a much better option in many instances. If they complain most Americans can’t afford a $500 unexpected/emergency bill or have not saved enough for retirement….my question to you good sir is who the Fk is on the waiting list wanting to drop $220k to $230k with tax on this sht box? Plus the loan rates are high….how many middle class people can afford this? Rich people aren’t going to sleep in the little thing.
How many feet long is this travel van? I didnt hear it mentioned in the video. Could've missed it.😊 I just love this! It is perfect for me!! I would have all the options except for the pop top. 😊
I noted you repeatedly use the phrase "locking mechanisms". Is that different from saying "door locks" or just plain locks"? Are the "mechanisms" more complex or expensive, because I'd settle for locks...
@@toddthornton4244 Interesting. 2023 Transit ordered from factory is Sync 4, but all the other tech options seem to be intact. Perhaps there's a different arrangement between Ford and certified upfitters (i.e. Winnebago) for build-configuration. Real-world difference: SYNC3: wired Apple Carplay/Android Auto SYNC4: wireless Carplay/Auto
I love the coach and it has a number of features that seem geared to extended off grid living EXCEPT for the cassette toilet. 5 gallon capacity? That is a day and a half! Why? A 35 gal black tank would be way more usable. Sorry, deal breaker for me. Especially at this price.
I'm sorry, I haven't seen the inside but the outside looks like the took 2 vehicles and welded them together. It may be a great camper as looks can be deceiving.
Not enough storage. Very limited kitchen drawers, no pantry, no bathroom storage, & limited bedroom storage. Would much rather leave off the stove & have blank counter space to use portable induction cooktop or butane stove.
This video is very poorly shot not once did we get a wide angle of the whole interior and the camera was angled toward the ceiling half the time I have no idea what this thing looks like
If Ford still offered the fuel efficient, 3.2 diesel engine with adaptive cruise control I would buy one very popular in other countries pass on the turbo charge gas engine.😡
In the age of stealth van conversions, these things look so cheap (yet still over-priced) and lack any character. They also stink from a functional design perspective. 200k...😅
The other “blind spot” option needed is the $ blind spot option! $208K? This has become a rich man’s sport. Why no induction cooking? No longer any bed length measurements - WHY. They look short, I’m guessing 73” at best. So you need short people with lots of cash. No thanks.
RIDICULOUS price! Plus, ZERO rooe to relax inside. If you are the type of traveler that enjoys mostly being outside when you travel, this might work.....but again, not at that price!

Thought of everything. Outside kitchen was a nice touch
Love this model!!!!
My jaw literally dropped when he showed the shower bathroom transition I haven't seen that yet

Nice little unit for tailgating and short trips or traveling in urban areas, but I don’t get how these are $200k…
Because everything’s more expensive now, and because they can. To much? Consider used. 😊

Agree 200k is way to much
I love this. This is perfect up in the mountain, when zombie apocalypse happens. Lol
AWESOME, What an insperation
The first truly useful and clever latrine set up
That's a really nice unit.
Nice video? How much does this one cost?
@@jonphanspromotions they run 180-190k for 2023.

That is really nice. Out of my price range but love it.
Love this rv . I hope someday i can have
Very well explained, it's really wonderful😍
better thought out than the last one i looked at even thought this on was a few feet smaller
Really nice review thanksa

That is a HUGE amount of money. Yes, it is ver nice but dang 💵💵💵
$208k PLUS a litany of options??
I can buy a nice moderate home in a small town for $200,000 all day long !

Okay- these prices are insane lol
You need to pan into the whole cabin when you start your tour of the interior.
will do.
It irritates me so much they don't start with the interior view....
Really nice
I like it
❤❤❤❤❤
Nice RV but the cost is in no way justified. A fully custom build, maybe, but for an assembly line box that gets attached to a chassis?
🤩🤩🤩
Winnebago, for the price you have to get rid of the cassette toliet!
You say it's compressor driven is it also 12-volt power or propane or both?
It is a 5.3 cu. ft. (12V) single door compressor-driven refrigerator/freezer.. Not propane only 12V
Nice refrigerator
At this pricr point I think we should be seeing a DC air-conditioning system.

How much is insurance on these RVs? $6000 / year? Anyone know?
31 gallons of fuel, translates to about 90 road mpg

Everything I show is it is a Sync 3 version.. Todd

Only sleeping facilities for 2 persons?
How long is it!?
23' Feet Long
200 K .. just in my day dream
Over $200k😂😂😂😂They have lost their damn minds.😂😂😂
FORD is garbageeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I was thinking the same. $120-$130k for me no more
Can you upgrade to a Truma A/C ??
Looks like the materials might be easily breakable.
No screens on windows?...
That a ford transit ?
Wait, the “wait” list is a year?! $200k price?
😂. People have money and time.
How much for this?
80k tops
Try Class As.
@RWXR yea probably better value but like the mobility of a b
I keep watching RV videos hoping to see something other than a Ford or a Mercedes. I can never find one.
Some RVs are made on The dodge ram chassis, but they are narrower.
MSRP? Thanks.

how much?
The 2 front seats dont swivel or turn
Worth about $115k
If I had this RV/van I would definitely want the microwave gone so there is more Storage in the kitchen.
Why do you need a black tank, if you have a cassette toilet?
He corrected himself, it was the gray tank, not the black cassette.
$200K for that?! Worth about half- even less. Don’t buy it- rip off.
perfect for our business! don't like non centralized
It amazes me the junk that you guys choose or have to promote
What high end quality stuff do you sell ?
Ford is grabageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I'm sorry, I haven't seen the inside but the outside looks like the took 2 vehicles and welded them together. It may be a great camper as looks can be deceiving.
Better off buying a house and using it for income property and just build a van life cargo van
$200,000+ plus tax, registration and insurance. Doesn’t seem worth the price considering other campers out there.
That’s just the MSRP
I'd buy 2 incase one brakes down 😅

200k amd they couldnt put a tv
in it? wow
Well, instead of an outdoor sink and stove, they should have installed a grill.
Made to boondock, toilet made for less than a week.
$200k with a cassette toilet…
Better to have cassette so no pump problems or smelly holding tank. Just pull out 5 gal tank empty easy

4 remotes...ugh. I don't like the chrome W logos placed inside the living area and bathroom, it's NOT necessary and looks stupid.
Has room for 4 people to drive but very small bed for 4 people.😂
Hi Richie, they make a "pop-top" option so you can have sleeping for 4.. Todd
It looks like poorly constructed with cheap materials?
Way to over priced…get s nice Arctic fox for under 30k..you get the same things
Except the motor
Price aside who can afford the gas.
RIDICULOUS price! Plus, ZERO rooe to relax inside. If you are the type of traveler that enjoys mostly being outside when you travel, this might work.....but again, not at that price!
