We can count on Wincrasher for matter-of-fact coverage :thumbup: I'm looking forward to reading about his new 59K and his view of the differences having owned two 59G's.

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

More than one RV or combo of units would be best for some people.

Class B + trailer
or
Class A + Class B toad

I wonder where you store the rear deck in the SVO?

First mod I'd do on the 59K...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

Just curious - did you see the new 59K or the previous 59G model?

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

It wouldn't be that difficult to do as a mod. :wink: (not sure about extra seat belts though)

The SVO Embassy has a similar bed setup:

Here's a link previously posted by Wincrasher - The Travato: a behind the scenes look - https://winnebagolife.com/2014/07/behind-the-scenes-with-the-travato

Re: under bed storage in the new Travato 59K

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

I'll confirm whether or not there's any storage under the beds and report back. Maybe someone already asked a dealer. Best chance for it would be under the passenger side bed. From what I can tell...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

So no one gets confused - that's not a Travato. :wink:

Curbside clearance on the Travato passenger side looks near stock - basically at the center line of the wheel hubs.



There's storage...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

Good photos. :clap:

I like the pull-out extension and pull-out flip-out table. No fuss with that.
There's enough space on the counter top for a couple of plates for meal prep.
30" wide beds...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

Good article.



So, on a 59G, if you allowed 1,000 lbs for people, pets, food, drink, bedding, clothes, gear etc., you'd be about 900 lbs under GVWR.

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

Actual weights are good to know. It would be interesting to see some actual Sprinter and Promaster weights. Just add them to this topic: https://www.classbforum.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1783

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

It would be interesting to look at the differences in tank placement and tank depth between the various Promaster based Class B's.

I've asked for confirmation of fresh water tank size, if the...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

The end-user expandable solar is a nice feature. You can start with one panel and expand later if needed. I'd like to see more "future proofing" ideas in new Class B's particularly when it come to...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

When that is talked about you'll get comments on cross contamination. That's probably one reason why the kitchen sink drains into the gray tank. A lot of RV's have one vent stack though...

Re: Winnebago Travato new model # 59K

Water is heavy, 8.34 lbs per gallon. :wink: An extra 20 gallons sloshing around is like carrying another person around.

Functionally, the 59K may have a waste water capacity design advantage...
