Or a ProMaster. Both the sprinter and ProMaster have some bone headed ergonomic choices but being trapped in the seat of the ford is across the line.

Why are the major class-B manufactures so out of touch and behind in U.S. market?
In Alaska in general, a ProMaster will do fine. All of the roads south of the arctic circle you will do fine— sometimes they are gravel, usually while under construction, so be aware of what you have...

Shock is about the only downside I’m aware of. Higher voltage is more efficient.

Lithium battery chemistry has been around for decades. Not so long in RVs, but then these people aren’t shipping product much different from the 1970s anyway.

Do check out the Winnebago ERA 70M. That particular model has huge tanks for a class-B, and is priced like a Winnebago. Fresh is 44, Black is 22, grey is 25 on that unit.

Stick to old school technology if you want, but let’s stop with the silly claims.

Newbie from the PNW - Winnebago Paseo
Glad it’s working out for you! What made to choose it over the TRAVATO? (Just curious.)
I think the PNWis the perfect place for class b camping. Can’t wait to visit again.

Why are the major class-B manufactures so out of touch and behind in U.S. market?
Wow, towables are over %86 of the whole market. Just astounding. The motor home is seemingly on its way out.
Class Bs has the strongest growth, but from tiny numbers.

Is that right? There were 500k RVs made, which would mean class-Bs are %1. I think your number is off by 10X.
Do you have a link to the data? I saw it at the RVIA site a couple months ago but...
