I live in NorCal and ordered and picked my Travato K up at Lichtsinn in Iowa. Great experience. There are a few good dealers across the country who don’t play games and who are honest in their...

As others have commented, RV Trader and Craigslist are good places to list your Revel.

Generator is main thing to look at, run it with a full load like the AC on high for half an hour and to see if it runs and works OK.

I do believe the total window area of 2019 Travato K’s and newer is slightly less than before. This said, our ’19 K feels very open and airy inside. In the K with glass sliders the rear porthole...

My wife likes putting the awning out. If it was up to me would probably hardly ever use it. Generally we are in sites with lots of trees and shade so not really necessary. But, the rare times...

We use an O-Grill. It is genuinely awesome. Gets much hotter than the Coleman and only a bit larger. Downside is on high it does use more propane. Chars a steak extremely well. Cast iron grate.

Some of the larger (24 feet long) Class B’s WILL sleep 3 comfortably. Check out the Winnebago Era for example. As others have mentioned the new pop top shorter B’s will also sleep three.

The big difference, besides the quality, is that the rear windows on the Sequence do not open. If you expect to always be traveling where you expect to use the AC and/or be plugged in that may be OK...

Keep in mind there is a good chance the batteries are shot on a van that’s been sitting for two years - factor this in as price is considered/negotiated.

Also think about resale

Just like with automobiles and trucks, dealers love options as the margins are high for them. So it’s best to order the ones you like and or need and/or the ones that seem like a reasonable value. ...

The 1000 watt inverter has been more than enough for our needs in our ’19 Travato K. Powers TV, recharges laptops, keeps electric toothbrush charged. It’s a balance. A larger inverter might power...

2,000 rpm on a steep mountain road/pass is likely too low for any power and even not good for the 6.0 L engine if it’s really struggling. That rpm is fine on level roads. I’d just leave it in...
