    “…because I pretend that I exercise when I’m in the van.”😂😂😂
    It’s a very full little van, and I’m impressed at how well organized it is! We have a Travato G and I really want to downsize to a Pocket. I think they are so well thought out in so many ways that the Travato is not.

    Thank you the video. We also have a pocket. Love it, the size is perfect for the two of us and our dog. I too have added a few mods: an awning from Thule, two small solar panels on either side of the AC from Zamp, they are 45 watts each. A front step on the driver’s side from Winnebago that matches the passenger side, Travato has them as standard. Other than that just little storage items. My yearly insurance from Progessive is $450.

      If I could do it over I would get one with a shower and toilet. Because I live in mines full time.

    I just bought a Pocket after stalking it for 2 years. I love your video. It's given me a lot of cool ideas. Thank you. But I need to ask where did you get the TV mount? What brand is it?

    I like your mods, can you please share list of all mods? And how much each cost you? How much it take to install or procure? How did you install? Professional or on your own? And where you got those mods? Meaning, website or city etc

    Are you satisfied with the quality of the cabinetry? I know they are more plain than the ones in the Travato but are they still solid and will they hold up over the years?

    • @theretirednomad8801
      @theretirednomad8801  Год назад

      Not to happy. Cabinet on the right side started sagging and had the add more screws. I don’t think it can handle the weight. Definitely got to reinspect every so often
