Duane this reminds me of high school! I could never stay on task. HA! Just wanted to bring you up to date. We are approximately one week away from taking possession of our new CLASS A D.P. I'm holding my breath and actually hoping for a little delay. The weather is not cooperating! Hate to take deliver and have 1500 miles of ice and snow to mush through between Tennessee and California. The inspection has been the best! The best $ I spent. All I can hope for is the weather will stay above 32 degrees! As always SAFE TRAVELS!!
That is so exciting Ron! You have been preparing for this a long time and I'm wishing you nothing but fun and happy adventures in your travels with your new diesel pusher. Enjoy my friend!
Hey Duane, hope all is well with you. I enjoy your video. We last time, discussed the Embassey class B. I would like to mention that the only hole drilled in the van is for electrical hook up. Plus’s lithium 920 watt power that is recharged from 2nd alternator and best of all, NO black tank.(LAVEO dry flush) lastly and very important, NO wood in van which means no mold. Stay well and I look forward to your next video. 🙏
Hi Julie. I recommend that you might consider renting each kind of RV first before buying. It can help prevent you from making a huge mistake that could be costly.
We're in process of final decision on type of camper...we'd love a class B, but just now hearing about the carrying capacity... even if the van has space for it. Manufacturer says we'd have"plenty of space & allowance". Well, with 1200+ lbs cc by the time we deduct the 2 adults, the 60 gal of water, the small propane tank, the small generator& a small grill & tiny firepit, along with basic tools we may need - its going down quickly. . We figure we have room for maybe 2 chairs & our personal belongings plus kitchen & bath waste. I'm wondering how people carry around these ebikes, mod storage for outside & rooftop of vans, etc... do most even know their van had a max carrying capacity? I feel like manufacturers are rather vague about it. 😮
One of the main issues with smaller RVs like the small Class Cs is the cargo capacity. And actually 1000+ lbs. is pretty good for that size. But one way that some RVers have overcome that problem is to tow a trailer behind that carries most of their stowable cargo. At least it's something to consider.
No matter which type I buy, I'm planning to pull a 6x12 trailer so I can bring my motorcycle with me. I want to use my bike to explore and only sleep in my van. So a Class B, Super B, or a small Class C is ghat I'm looking for.
In most cases a Class B will be a little quieter since it is a solid van with no slides. It will be much like driving a normal van and the noise level will be similar. Class Cs tend to be a little louder and have more rattles and small noises. I hope that helps.
@@RVInspectionAndCare Thank you for your response. Do you think a class C would be ideal with an infant that is 6 months old? We prefer the space but we are also concerned about how loud it is.
@@Nessal83 That's hard to say. It depends on what you feel is an appropriate level of quietness for your baby. I recommend visiting an RV dealer and taking a Class C RV for a test drive to see how you feel about the noise level. Enjoy your trip and have lots of fun experiences!
Actually some Class B RVs come with built-in generators too. But if not, you can always use a portable inverter generator instead. Thanks for watching!
I am just starting to look to go full time as a solo traveler with two cats. I would love to do a Class C, but they are expensive. Is it realistic for a retired woman to travel full time in a travel trailer? I have watched almost all of your videos and respect your opinion.
Hi Claire. Yes, it's not only realistic but many are doing it now. I advise you to buy the best quality travel trailer though, to make sure that it lasts as long as possible. If you are OK with smaller spaces, a Casita or other fiberglass TT would be a good choice for fulltime travel.
Say can we drive a 25 to 30 foot class B camper van or in a class B motor home but also pull a 53 to 60 foot class A trailer ? How about a 25 to 30 foot class C with a 53 to 60 foot class A trailer ?? Thank you
The RV manufacturer states the weight limit that can be towed safely by any RV. As long as the weight of the vehicle you are towing does not exceed that amount or the weight limit of your hitch, most likely it can be towed safely.
A gentleman in the UK has a converted double decker bus / motohome and pulls a trailer with his race bike to the Isle of Man TT. Outstanding arrangement!
I'll tell you I have a class C getting a little bit of wind and your mileage can drop from 8 to 6 I've never seen mileage much higher than 8. I've never known anyone that could get 12 to 18 miles a gallon out of a class C
Love the Class Bs - bought one last September!
That sounds great Deborah. Thanks for watching and telling us about your choice of RV!
Which one did
You buy? How many people
Can sleep in it?
@@RVInspectionAndCareprices very so much. How did you determine which one to buy? Thanks
Excellent run down as usual!
Thanks so much for the positive feedback. Your support of this channel is much appreciated!
Thank you now I desided what type of van rv that I will have in the near future..
I'm glad the video was helpful Andrew. And I hope you find the perfect RV for your situation.
Thanks so much. Very comprehensive for this newbie. 🙏🏼

Thank you Duane!
Great channel, can you or have done a video on what one can expect to pay for a thorough inspection ? Thank you
I think you'll find what you're looking for here - ruclips.net/video/BxVViCeFCqU/видео.html Thanks for watching!
@@RVInspectionAndCare Cool Thank you
thats my goal next, is to sell by A, to downsize to a C. 1st priority is to pay off out house this year. Thanks Don
Hi Don. A lot of RVers find that downsizing their rig works well for them for many reasons. I hope everything goes smoothly for you! :-)

What about B+ units?
Here's a video I made about B+ RVs that may be helpful - ruclips.net/video/Quu05FYUBvQ/видео.html

I loved my 21qb class C. 6 mpg without generator usage.
Sometimes fuel mileage can be a challenge. Thanks for watching!
I know im a year late but im 18 iv been saving up money do you think class b rv would be okay to live in for atleast 15 years?
It can be if you maintain it like you should and keep it in good shape. Thanks for watching!

It sounds like you have a very good idea about what you are looking for. I hope you find the perfect RV for your needs!
Can you comment if class B or class C is quieter and by hoe much? We are planning on a 1700 mile trip with an infant. Thanks!

The RV manufacturer states the weight limit that can be towed safely by any RV. As long as the weight of the vehicle you are towing does not exceed that amount or the weight limit of your hitch, most likely it can be towed safely.
Next question, is it possible to drive a single or double decker bus then pull a class A 50-60 foot trailer??
I have no idea. I don't work with buses, just RVs.
