The Travato K bath sink drain has a traditional water trap before it goes to the black tank. It's probably a better choice than the dry traps for the kitchen sink and shower drains that go to the...

LOL. You are getting funny now.

Talk about nonsense!

Tanks burp. All of them do it. I'd rather not have a tank full of **** and piss burping up my shower drain or kitchen sink drain. I'll bet real money that the stench is...

Not even apples and oranges. The Travato is alot more van for the money - especially the L. The electrical systems do not compare at all - just look at the battery capacities and charging systems. ...

Sounds to me that with this system, you are probably going to have one battery with a ton of cycles on it - all with deep discharges, and a second with relatively few and most likely shallow...

That is the route I went with my Victron solar controller. Their bluetooth dongle and phone app not only gives detailed output information, but does data logging so you can see what it's done over...

Repeating anecdotes is not sound reasoning.

WGO products sell for 27-30% off MSRP. Their scheme is to price the options with the same margin. So they are applying it to the lithium package just...

Considering I got mine for $102k including tax/tag, I don't think you know what you are talking about. Compare to the price I got on an Aktiv 1.0 for $98k (incl tax) with around 40% of the battery,...

I'm very spoiled. I've gotten a taste of what it's like to use electricity out on the road as you would at home, without any concerns of running out. I'm looking forward to getting my new van with...

If you are implying that the load is for heating, that would be incorrect. It's just the BMS. There is additional load for heating pads. 60 watts is not nothing as it adds up thru the day. That...

Not sure what you are talking about.

If you are saying you want to get the Roadtrek/Hymer modules, you can fit two of them under the van - that's it.

If you are talking after-market batteries,...

No, it will be maxed out. The GCWR is 11,500 lbs. The van should weigh around 7000 lbs (maybe a few hundred more) + about 1000 lbs (or more) for your stuff, yourself, water, fuel, etc. That...

Don't worry folks, FalFal will be back in due time complaining that his system has failed, he doesn't know why, and can't get anyone at Hymer to help him fix it. Heard this sad song many times, and...

Are you certain you only have a single 105 AH battery? A 2000 watt inverter would suck it down to low voltage in a few minutes. You shouldn't be able to run heat and a refrigerator all night...

ALL Promasters will have their rear axle as the lowest point. It's about 6-1/2" above the ground. I've yet to see any vans with something hanging below the axle.

That dangling wire to the TV antenna tells you all you need to know about the quality control on these Hymers. Appalling.

I'd be leary about using AGM batteries and the UHG. You need long...

I don't really see the value of buying a Hymer if you don't get the Roadtrek tech. That is what differentiates the brand and makes it worth buying. Otherwise, for value, the Travato is hard to...

Don't get your hopes up - from the pictures it looks very similar in build quality - the cabinets and some of the hardware looks the same. They also use the same shower pan and bath sink setup.
