At first, I was put off by the bathroom in the entry way, but by the end of this video, I was sold. That is probably the best use of otherwise dead space I have ever seen. And the solar/battery capabilities of this thing is insane. This is the smartest Class C I have seen. Smarter than Winnebago or Leisure Travel Van. Bravo!

They took that straight from EarthCruiser, who have been doing it for more than a decade. It’s a great idea.

@Eec2023 Год назад

It's a great idea until you need to take a dump while your date is on board. And who would shower outside the entrance and create a mud bath at the step out? Sorry but I'll take the full bath and shower and except any consequence. 😊

@Rashnak66 2 года назад

I love this RV, but I gotta ask a few critical questions... - the grey tank is on the wrong side. Every dump station assumes driver side. And there seems to be no standard hose hookup. Is this surreptious dump only? - Is there a water hose hookup in the garage somewhere? - I love the idea of using engine heat for hot water, but is there a water tank temperature sensor somewhere? Also is there a temperature limiter on the faucets to prevent scalding? - How do you dump the fresh water tank and flush the lines? - You mentioned in another video a new rear bumper but we havent seen it. What would be tow rating? - Current license plate mount seems to have no light. - the seal between cab and box seems worrysome- this joint will surely flex on rough roads possibly leading to leakage.

What did you think about the inside materials

@JR-playlists 2 года назад

7:32 The battery bridge lugs should have the lugs next to each other, not sandwiching the battery terminal to prevent heat build up in the terminal itself. It just protects the batteries better.

@jimritchie8966 2 года назад

In general we agree and we attach our battery lugs next to each other in our builds. We did some maintenance on a couple batteries and we temporarily attached across the terminals, which according to Battle Born is not a big deal. In fact you can find installation videos of theirs showing them attaching the lugs on each side of the battery terminal. Thanks for pointing this out though!

Twin bed be nice for older couples. Door like ekko screen be nice for dog owners or you want to let air in and feel. More secure. Bathroom nice so you don't go thru rv. Rinsing off outside puddle right at your door. Seeing toilet every time you go in and out, need a nice curtain . An outlet at the outside table. Love the basic layout an privacy shade coming from bottom.

@traveldreamer4616 2 года назад

This box truck/van has so many amazing features. To date, this one beats what is on the market. Well thought out. Bright and open, yet allows one to close off areas to conserve energy, hot or cold. The clearance is nice too. I would need to learn a bit more about the electrical system.

@HighCountryRambler 2 года назад

Just wondering why on a small RV where the cab IS part of the living space (swivel chairs) you would wall-off the cab? I use a insulated exterior cover that fits around the cab glass for privacy and insulation and use the front space as limited part of the living space.. Otherwise I love this rig...

@theartistjodievans 2 месяца назад

Oh wow! Walking in through the bathroom is BRILLIANT! It completely changes the use of space in such a smart way!

@michaelhazen8658 Год назад

Oh man I love this thing! Scout Campers also do the entry shower. I dont understand why more dont do that - its already a stand up space. Its a great spot to leave wet gear. A couple things hold it back for me - the price of a house (not that its not deserving of it after the costs of materials, research and assembly) and the potential for vaporware. There are too many cool products that take deposits and then fail to deliver on the promise, or even at all. I certainly dont have the kind of income that would allow me to take the risk. A suggestion: throw that box on a good trailer frame. Sure some features wouldnt make it across - heating water with the coolant lines, for example. But most of it would be a simple swap. With many newer trucks having the option for a second alternator... Heck you could take that front slider door and have it open onto a small patio or sunroom on the tongue :D

I absolutely love this unit. Some of the electrical choices are maybe something I wouldn't have done (specifically that 12v -> AC charging) but literally everything else I am loving. The suspension upgrades that we all pay to add to our Sprinters, the top-of-the-line Tern Overland windows.. I'm impressed.

@ytJnC 10 месяцев назад

I know this is a year late reply, but perhaps these guys were on to something by running an inverter from the Transit alternator. The Victron thinks it’s “shore power” charging, and it pulls roughly 100A at idle. By contrast, there was quite a number of 48V alternator failures last year, particularly on Sprinter chassis. To my understanding the root cause was heat related, but for owners of high end vans the result was often a stranded van with MB and the DC system providers pointing fingers at each other. Hopefully things have settled down by now as the lead times to get MB authorized service often took longer (and further) than expected.

@jimritchie8966 2 года назад

FYI the AEONrv was designed before Winnebago came out with the EKKO and we took no inspiration or design ideas from them. For instance we shared our design with the thefitrv folks before they announced they were going to upgrade to the EKKO. I think it just shows the US market was looking for some different options and more innovation.

The van will autostart and charge the batteries to keep us going. This is a key feature that rarely gets talked about. This rig is much more efficient and better insulated. How long will the AC run in 100 degree day conditions that might dip into the 80s in the evening?

Hi Chad and Paul. Ive been watching your channel for a few weeks now, catching up on some episodes. We are considering getting a 59KL as well and are learning so much from you both. I noticed in a previous video, you mentioned how wonderful the AC is and that you can leave your dog in the van. I think thats great. But, for those days when leaving him behind causes you to not enjoy your outing, or feel some stress, have you ever considered getting a dog stroller? I know, I know, men usually have an issue with this. But, after much debate, my husband and I ended up getting one for our two small dogs and are so much more relaxed having them with us. They love it! Ours has a drk screen and most people believe we are pushing a stroller with a baby. Shop keepers that do relize we have dogs, think its a great idea and allow us to shop. We have a double, but there are singles that are so narrow and fold up umbrella style. Im sure you guys have alredy worked out all the day to day challenges of van life with your dog and forgive me for getting in your business, but I just thought I would mention, in case you’ve not heard of the dog strollers. Ours has allowed us freedom that we didn’t think possible while traveling with pets. Thank you for the videos.

Couple of questions --- glue (for cabinets / fiberglass, etc.) --- what is it? Any off-gassing? Can you order the Ford chassis in Eco-Boost? Suggestion: Where the drawers and steps are beneath the bed -- give an option for a dog-friendly climate controled crate (instead of the drawers). Do this -- and you've nailed it! WAY better than the Ekko. Bring the price down, a bit, and they won't be able to keep up with the orders.

Don’t like that there are no windows in the bedroom except for the skylight (feels confining and can’t view scenery), don’t like the big a/c above the bed, and I definitely don’t like the $199k “starting” price from their website. 😬

Wish they did a cabover for storage

This has everything you wish a commercial RV had and probably should have at their price point. They act like a 100ah battery and 200w of solar is a premium robust solar powered system. You wouldn't have to retrofit anything with this.

Without dually's in the rear, I'm always concerned with GVW and it does look like a heavy build. It would have been nice to know the weight of the rig.

@jimritchie8966 2 года назад

About 8,300 lbs with full 31 gallons of gas so 1,200lbs OCCC.

Great review, as usual! Don't know if you guys take requests or not but I would dearly love to get your opinions of a Provan Bengal Tiger. it is a seemingly extremely well designed camper integrated into a Ford, Ram or Chevy 4x4 350 series pickup chassis.

I love everything about it except the kitchen. I don't like all electric. Som in trying to figure out how to put a gas stove and tanks.

Hello, you can make a camper for a two-door Ford F 250

Narrow access to East/West crawl (over your partner) bed far less convenient than Ekko split twin bed layout.

@cathysupp9493 2 года назад

Really like the build Hoorah for a mini split Quality Style 4 season But I'd have to wait for someone else's buyers remorse to gain entry into ownership Not to say it isn't worth it, in fact it's a bargain compared most other New RV's comparable .....in fact cover the badging with a fake pet groomer or mobile technician of some sort and it's urban stealthy

@kigo641 2 года назад

Is there any way to find out about fuel(gas/diesel)source, tank size, approximation of mpg? Sadly, this has become a major consideration with fuel prices. Thanks! Some genius innovations in this build!

@jimritchie8966 2 года назад

31 gallon gas tank, typically 11-13MPG depending on conditions and how you drive.

@jasonschern7034 2 года назад

Interesting choices, always like to see everyone's ideas. I like how they went with the Moonshade for awning. When I shredded my Dometic awning on my STO, I took it off and went with the Moonshade as well and I love it. I like not having that weight up top (crazy heavy) and I have something I'm ok to leave out and not worry about wind. Great innovative idea to double utilize the entrance with a bathroom / shower.

Well-thought out for light off-roading and boondocking. However, we could not tolerate an E-W bed in a $200K rig, nor the heat pump unit hanging off the back. Adding 2 feet for a N-S bed is a poor solution as that will significantly decrease maneuverability and increase price. Finally, the rear overhang and steps look troubling for off-pavement; is that the exhaust hanging down in back? Best wishes in success but not quite what we are looking for.

I own a Revel and always want to change my RV to something like this, but this RV is too expensive even in Revel's standard.

@jamesquach3395 2 года назад

I have a 2021 Revel, and the AEON is not much more than what the Revels are going for now, but with superior build quality, significantly better insulation, and substantially more lithium power with 700W solar on a more useful MPPT controller. Depending on the conditions, you can run the A/C almost indefinitely while boondocking versus a day at best with a RoamRig upgrade.

@davidpatrick1813 2 года назад

I wonder how long the leaf springs in back will last. (19min) I think it is really cramped inside and not much counter space, poor placement of the refrigerator. If someone is showering it ties up use of the RV. It is cramped not open. ... Lots of gadgetry. Good sales show too. IF YOU HIT EITHER THUMBS UP OR DOWN TWICE IT WILL TURN ON THEN OFF... ... WHEW....

@sanfordzeitz9077 2 года назад

Hmmm, where would one plug in the induction burner if placed on the exterior drop down table?

@jimritchie8966 2 года назад

Run a short extension cord through the kitchen window right above and plug into the 20A plug about 5 feet away.

@Divedown_25 2 года назад

The head in the entrance in bus style was not appealing even though the little shower and sink was smart then the kitchen with a loose induction stove is the weakest area of the comfort here. But the chassis is heavy as it is built on a Ford Transit 350. Interesting concept
