I've driven over 160,000 miles in a Sprinter just about everywhere in North America including Alaska and the tip of Newfoundland and Labrador where the Vikings first landed in America. I had my first...

True, but you don't go into a venture of that magnitude with that fallback reasoning and uncertainty. Companies don't gamble. They pretty much know their expectations. The only thing that would...

A few things. I doubt they would build that plant if they were not confident in meeting those numbers. Secondly, there will be a new model version coming out of that plant. Thirdly, there are a lot...

Advanced RV went to the 15,000 BTU Mach 8 unit because it ran more efficiently. If you contact them I think they could tell you more on their reasoning. I think they are the only ones to date that...

Tbirdman and Jostalli,

When I say parallel park and boondock I mean sleep. You both just mentioned leaving the slide in and handicapping yourself in that regard.

I didn't mention stealth but...

It is the metallic version of the dark grey which tends to act like a chameleon with the different lighting. At dusk with the backdrop of grey mountains it seems to disappear. It doesn't seem to draw...

If that is what you want to believe, so be it. It seems your mind is made up.

Anyway, you give up any chance of parallel park boondocking on the street. I do it about a dozen times or more a...

The View is more than a foot taller and more than a foot and a half longer than the Trend. The widths are the same but still wider than any B. The View starts to exceed a lot of places a Class B can...

I haven't seen a Class B yet without and Onan generator under the coach and a pain in the A to check its oil. As for batteries, AGMs should have no checking required. Eventual replacement might be...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

At the price points they want to meet, I doubt it. The plain simple truth is most people most of the time don't do much B camping in cold weather. Go with the odds of need. Why saddle everyone with...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

I wonder why they didn't raise the beds on the 59K? They didn't provide backrest or aisle width for the traditional dinette double duty and the beds at 30" wide are too deep for sitting (21-22" to...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

Anytime you stick a bathroom at the very back of a Class B van you kill a lot over versatile storage options, especially for outside item storage. In order to recover some storage you end up...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

Wincrasher,

Somebody other than you has described pumping the gray tank through the black tank and then out the slinky. So, do I understand you have a "Y" connection at the slinky outlet of a...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

I think the theory on the 59G besides the technical issue of getting the grey water out is you dump your black tank gravity then backflush the black tank with grey water and then dump grey via...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

I wasn't implying they sized the tanks small like that for marketing. It is just the result of small tanks make them ideal for a weekender B rather than an extended touring B. The tanks by default...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

The Achilles heel of the Promaster is going to be tank sizes if the Transit makes any headway in that area. It looks like an every 3 day (maximum) dump task right now if you conserve or use...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

I suspect Winnebago shares that idealism of minimizing labor. So far they are beating everyone on price on the same type of vans. :)

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

There are always exceptions, but for the most part the Promaster is trying to tap a lower cost market. Roadtrek with the Zion is setting up to move away from Chevy which was filling that need....

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

It is an all keeping up with the Joneses deal. Things are moving fast. In the dealer market Roadtrek is pushing the boondocking and etreknology dream pretty hard. People who buy Zions or Travatos are...

Re: Winnebago Travato 59K

The pedestal just doesn't look big enough to me and even so they may be missing an opportunity to increase fresh water capacity. That video where they enter the van from the rear shows the bed...
