Nice lunch! BTW, have you seen the new Noovo vans? The Lite might just meet your needs. It does, however, have a cassette toilet. We older folk, I’m 80, tend to avoid having to remove a 40# container of human waste from the side of a van….. 🤔
Check out Sugar River Campground outside of Rockton. It's part of the Winnebago County Forest Preserve. Most sites have power and they have dump station. Full of wildlife. Owls, pleated woodpeckers, etc. Also has big day use area.
Do you prefer to seek out the odd, unusual, off-the-beaten path sites when traveling? Thanks for watching! Info, campouts, in-person events, Zoom chats, and more at www.GoSmallLiveLarge.com
Thank you for sharing real life. I am in a transitional time in my life, experimenting with travel as a significant part of it. Thank you for sharing your journey.
You mentioned all the drawers in the kitchen for pots, pans, tableware, utensils etc but I didn't see them. Also wouldn't want to have the door open all the time while adding fresh water
I never travel outside the US without travel insurance, not tlalking trip insurence, talking medical travel insurance.. even in canada if you think your US insurance will cover your needs you will be shocked strongly urge investigation prior to departing US anywhere.......................
Or if you want something nicer... there's a lot of new models floorplans and RVs at the 2024 RV show in Germany this month from our favorite brand Adria 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9zF29Si3xOk.htmlsi=3c4kKa6BbEFo28kz ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cGrGo-O4tp8.htmlsi=GQ-EFWe63N7k-mhh
Great video! I purchased a gently used Travato 59k. I do the same kind of adventuring as you - I'll get a lift and bigger tires to go on easy forest service roads. I love backroads, views, and small towns. Sometimes it also comes down to what is affordable for each of us.

I still want you floor plan! Come on winnebago, put this floor plan back in play, please. 😊
Another cool video from you guys!! Very hard to choose. You can’t beat the cool factor of an adventure van. But then there’s the luxury of a touring coach. I am torn myself. I think it comes down to the functionality of all the components and space for the individual. 👍🚐💞
I don't need a full on Adventure van per say. I need twin beds, garage, and doing some simple dirt/off road type of thing. A Sprinter Ekko fit the bill for me. Is it perfect, certainly no. Does it have issues definitely yes. But overall the best fit.
Need one of each so you can select the van based on the destination and mission :) Love the Rover Vans ladder/spare tire carrier and gear box Piotr installed on our Travato! Highly recommend!
"Adventure" vans are nice if you're always out "adventuring", but if I spend a lot of time traveling around or full-timing, I'd have to go with a touring van. Adventure vans are the hiking boots, touring vans are the slip-on's or sandals.

Hey RV experts, if you knew anything at all about Class A, B, C and Super C RVs, you would also know that there is no such thing as a B+ motorhome. I am not going to explain it to you because if you believe in B+ RVs, you also believe in the tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny, and Bidenomics. I really don't care what you do for a living, but I will bet you're junior high school history teachers.
What are the advantages to having a lavio toilet and no black tank when you still have to find a dump station for your grey water. ( Let's not use the interstates to slowly drain the grey tanks )
