Looks like they are upping their game to match Entegra/Jayco. I wanted the Entegra launch features but I also wanted the better built Winnebago so now it looks like I may just wait a bit. I just wish they would pre install a side ladder like the Tiffin GH-1.
Many folks asked for the option for a three point harnesses. It’s very hard to add three point harnesses but you can easily pull these seats and make a bench
I was hoping for a Ford Transit Trail option. But, they keep pumping out Mercedes, just like STO. Since serviceability is challenging for a variety of reasons I am reluctant to buy Mercedes. Maybe I am missing something. On another note, Owl and Canyon should join forces and produce their own class B vans. :-)
Hmm, I'm not too impressed. I see they copied Entegra/Jayco with the seats and the drawer above the fridge. I preferred the bench seat. RIP bench seat and pantry Did they go with Ecoflow for the battery system? It looked like the Ecoflow control panel. Oh well, I guess there is only so much they can change or innovate. They seem to have run out of ideas.
You really need to do Owl Vans a favor and get something like a DJI osmo pocket 3. Wider angles, stabilized shots, mini tripod you can use, easier to handle, etc. :)
Love my Owl Vans Products and the company. ❤ but there’s no way in hell. I’ll always build my own. Hate having a rig that looks like an RV or like everyone else’s rig.
I keep hoping that they will make an option to get rid of the rear seats. If we are able to rotate the front seats, why do we need more seats eating up the middle of the van? It's such a waste of space.
Wow so they even surpass the STO battery system if you opt for 2 batteries (15kwh). That’s awesome. I loved my 2020 Revel and I love my Storyteller but this has some nice upgrades!
What’s up with the hood seam on the passenger side at 3:03 mins into video? The drivers side looks flush, but the passenger side looks like it has at least a 1 inch gap there. Is that normal for the Sprinter chassis or is that something that’s happened after market?
Good thing I have walking around knowledge of past editions and their details, so when you skip over an important feature and say it "hasn't changed," I'll i wont be confused or have to look for a actual decent tour...
Great video! As a delivery driver for moving Winnebago units to the customers, I think it’s important for us (drivers) to be introduced to the new units, the systems, designs, etc. Honestly, we are the “rolling commercial” for the Winnebago products. Meaning, I am always stopped and asked to view the unit (from the door, of course). I’m always asked how’s the fuel economy, how does it drive, how does it handle wind, etc.. I’d love to be the recipient of shared information of the unit, and how it works. Thank you!
The second-row passenger seats are awesome. How do I get those for my van?? Also, it’s about time for a new control panel (like the Launch or Rangeline). Lost pantry is a bummer. New 4 cylinder engine and AWD is a big loser.
Good and bad changes . But mostly bad . You never mentioned losing the pantry. Lost garage space due to the larger water tank . And no more 4wd. Glad we have a 2023 .
The designated passenger seats were long overdue IMO and it appears they eliminated the pantry which is a bummer. John, did they give you any info on the price for the '25?
I noticed that too, and those crappy window coverings inside that are noisy, I replaced with Rolf and put in a much nicer slider window. I can't imagine what the price will be.
I’m halfway through and am bored with cosmetic nonsense. I don’t need or want the extra seats. oooh black this and decal that so cool the faux topo look….? Looks…. what about function? silly RV nothingness. l It now has a mirror so that saves me .99 cents. silly waste of money, with lazy engineering and mediocre manufacturing. I feel like I just watched a Bowwinkle cartoon. Still leaves room to get serious someday I suppose. People in the comments talking about all the ways they switch out for better quality windows, coverings and fixtures, mattress. (!?). Oh more topographical looking decals and the “Revel” logo all over the place, wow. At least batteries are adequate. Lets discuss colors in place of any substance…. again (!?). guess I just saved $400k.
@@slackleashdogtraining3598 First off it will not cost $400k as you claim. MSPR should be in the neighborhood of $245k. Second it’s not a decal as you claim it’s a laminate made by Wilson Art that is an artistic rendition of an ebony grain pattern. More importantly though you gain 35 gallons of water, two safer passenger seats and a 51v battery from Lithionics that will provide in the neighborhood of 7.5kwh. That said hopefully WGO ups it’s game in QC/QA, and stops with some of the corner cutting, but that remains to be seen.
Hmm, my main question is this- does this have more lithium power (how many AMP/HOURS?) than the 2021-2024? Did they move from the Balmar to Wakespeed/newer system?
@@RagingDork this new 2025 is a 48V system like the Storytellers though, old revel ran on a 12V system so the numbers don't translate over 1:1. Just want to make sure it's an apples to apples comparison as far as Amp/Hours goes.
Its a 4 CYCLINDER but the back seat upgrade and extra battery power is nice, you pay 20K more, with a smaller 4 CYC Diesel engine? They did add a mirror, finally.
Very impressed with the newer design, especially the second seats. This will be one of those factors when people begin to look to purchase a van.

That black sleev over the cables is called energy chain.
A lot of new improvements based on what the Jayce Terrain has/did…nothing really new in the market, but great improvements for the Revel!
Hate the new rear seats. They need to offer bench option.

Nice I was hoping for a refresh. Hope the new price doesn’t make me tear up.
They moved the switches from down by the floor (18-20) to above the fridge (21) to that upper cabinet.
Still no microwave? Is there enough power?
Are you guys planning on offering a 25 revel specific tire carrier, since the mounting position will be different?
We will have a solution, yes
Very nice except for the seats, too tall for short people.
Interior is much nicer, but all those exterior "upgrades" have to go.
Still no room to shower in the shower!

Fit and finish and materials used are of low quality compared to Syncline by Outsidevan.
Cheaper construction and material for this price. Like chinese.
The worst space distribution ever see.
Thanks for the great video. I noticed they shift some storage space (vertical pantry is gone). Overall, nice but still like Entegra Launch 19Y
Much of the entegra / jayo launch / terrain design has been pulled into the new revel.
Great video. The one you just picked up has a floor liner, is it came with the cargo van or an option you spec?

Entegra/Jaco plagiarized the entire Revel so I guess we can allow Winnebago to copy a drawer.
@@ifly64s and the flexible seating area. I guess Winnebago is agreeing the Jayco copy is better
@@david_does_life do you own either one?

What is the heating system in the 2025 Revel?? Is it the Timberline or something else??
Cool new features but it seems to have less storage than the 2022 Revel, which is what we have.
Are all this cars DISEL-cars, or does the Benz have 100% ELECTRIC-CARS?
Always makes me a bit sad the European Camper people stick to the standard c class I guess it's called. No big market for Sprinter Vans. ;-(

Tool box on wheels! Lol! These things are going for pennies on dollar. Grab your ankles van rv owners!😂
That rack front is hideous! So much for low profile. Love the rest of new design though.
Is that a second cut out in the bedroom extending the length of the bed? Nice ride.

Big fus over they same seat setup as the jayco terrain/entegra launch.
Jayco pushed Winnie to finally offer decent passenger seats. Looking alright!
Has Winnebago upgraded the suspension?
Can you get this fan without the shower
Do you know if it will have the new 2.0L twin turbo 4cyl diesel, or still the 3.0 v6 diesel from prior gen?
Looks sweet. Great vid. Thanks!
They will all be AWD 4cyl
Thanks for the video!
Nice commercial, hope they paid you well.
Best to have built in Starlink Satellite connection 🤓
@6:30. That is a really cool feature to be able to spread that seat in the lounge area. The laser scanning is amazing too. Great video.

I asked about that too. They had to remove the hood (this was a prototype) and it just wasn’t properly aligned yet. Not common on Sprinters
Hopefully Winnebago balances the wheels because far too many Revels on the lot are off balance!!
You never mention the size of the water tanks…for showers and sinks. What’s the LARGEST CLEAN WATER TANK I could get installed into a travel can??

IMO the best setup for the galley area, the seats, & the shower is STO.
Why? No dead space & the groove lounge is more than just a seat.

Legendary Revel quality. Does the awning still deploy while you're driving down the road?
The designated passenger seats were long overdue IMO and it appears they eliminated the pantry which is a bummer. John, did they give you any info on the price for the '25?
Why call it 2025, when it's a 2024 Mercedes ?
Because that’s how RV’s are titled. Chassis is one year and the RV build is the next year.
Trying to catch up to the Storyteller line....still those cheap puck lights
Never a revel🤡👎
Any way to remove the belts if never going to use?
Significant better build! Shocked they did not replace that slider window that rattles.

Would it be possible to share some better pics of the water panel and the rest of the garage?
Any idea what the exact offset of the rims are? They look sweet.
What vendor makes the battery & power system?
did they put the city water connection outside yet?
Good review, like the changes, will keep in mind🚐
thanks for this, love the videos you do.
Lost me at the four seater
I like the new seats and higher water capacity. Any chance those seats could be retrofit into earlier Revels?
Unknown at this point but it would likely be a substantial amount of work plus the cost of the seats
INCREDIBLE!!!! 💪🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
I had to order that hat as soon as I saw it.

If you get the extra battery on the old Revel you get about 8kw. 15k is a big upgrade 🥳. I think a little cargo space was lost though.
