I totally agree with you.

But, don't overlook the costs of those windows. Every window is at the expense of a large storage space. The Vanlife gang seems to care more about the storage than the...

A retired couple I know bought a towable out of the blue--with no experience and little knowledge. Predictably, their first trip was a disaster. They sold the unit within a month.

Ah. That makes sense.
As for cost, no matter how expensive it is, it is going to be trivial in the grand order of things, and really important. I would really worry about any upfitter insisting on...

Really?!!
That's insane.

I suppose it inherits from the NEC's prohibition of the use of "extension cord" in concealed applications. It has to do with insulation being age-tested for long-term...

Definitey "requires", or at least it was last time I checked. I talked Great West into leaving most of ours off, but it was like I was asking them to rob a bank. With our old Aistream, I spent days...

Do they actually plaster those beautiful vans with all the ridiculous safety stickers that RVIA requires?

Interesting.
Does this imply that the market is constrained by supply rather than demand? Otherwise, one would think that the potential RT/Airstream purchasers would just move on to some other brand.

Maybe someday the market share of B-vans will creep up to more than negligible.

I definitely vote for a dedicated thread. It is nice having an easy-to-find reference when talking about a specific rig, and to be able to easily follow what folks do to "make it their own". :thumbup:

"Top," "leading," and "#1" are in the eyes of the beholder. They never claimed "top selling".

Uh, look again. It doesn't say "Top Selling", it says "Number One". They don't get to make up sales figures, but the DO get to make up their own definition of "Number One".:?

Although I agree with your point, I am not completely sure of the above statement. B-vans, including Winnebago are still built using pretty primitive construction techniques. I believe that there is...

The issue of length is interesting. I agree that beyond 24', you are going to give up many of the advantages of the b-van concept. In fact, we opted to not even go with the extended length. It...

It costs a lot of money to develop a model on a new platform. Nobody's going to do it just to do it. As mlts22 suggests, it is not clear that there is enough daylight between the Sprinter and the PM...
