Grech needs to combine the Tour and Lounge models as 3rd option. To keep the closet and big fridge, use the short countertop galley and add another captain chair to have 3 person lounge up front!!!
In over ten years we owned two Winnebago ERA Sprinter RVs and two Airstream GT Sprinter RVs. Now we own a 2023 4x4 Grech Terreno Ion. So far we’ve put over 3000 miles on it. The difference between the Grech unit and the others is day and night. The quality of the grech is by far more superior. Thanks for the video.
Very impressive build quality on the Mercedes so makes me think that Grech using the GM33 Ford F600 GM40 Freightliner M2 chassis from their bus division into a motorhome conversion would be a natural progression that would take the Super C market by storm! Come on Grech, do it!😎
@@paulacoulter253 Great choice if I go with a 1492 Coachworks but it looks like currently Grech is only building busses on the GM33 Ford F600 & GM40 Freightliner M2 according to their web page 🤷♀
Estrada/Torino Model * ❤ * Lounge. Replace brown wood with a lighter color. 4 season options? I prefer a portable electric stove. Add washer/dryer over stove and microwave space. Overall... Great job! Would like to hear more about afull time (4 season) Grech RV
These are very nice. The seating looks very comfortable. Love the bathroom. I would like it to feel more open and airy. I think if all the cabinets and table tops were white would achieve this.
What about locations of outlets and USB? Those are important. There are four things I don't like: there needs to be an option to get rid of the two little useless seats in the back. Which would allow for the second thing: a dry bath. And the third thing: extra kitchen storage and counter space with the removal of the little seat on the left. Lastly, you really need to move the microwave up where you can easily see the numbers. Put the storage below (pull out drawers?) and microwave up! I love the quality of the build...just make a version for a solo driver that does not need the huge bed but wants dry bath and more storage. The option for even more solar power would be great, also!
I know the size of the Class B has limitations, but somehow designing a separate shower from bathroom would be good... The wet bath is a deal killer for wife. Otherwise, really nice rig!
This is how Airstream was supposed to be! Picked up my Grech RV earlier this week, and it is a Terreno ion 4 x 4. The build quality is unsurpassed! I do have familiarity with the Lithionics company, and they are also the best in the world! Those holes that they talk about putting into the side of the vans are never rust approved by the Upfitter in other companies, and that rust starts within three years!
Would like to see marine grade water protection for the inside rear lithium battery wiring system. Important if rear doors are open during a windy rain storm event, spilled liquids, plumbing backups etc.
Love the Grech!!! Having the big fridge is awesome. I'm wondering if y'all could put a washer and dryer combo in the Grech? Also, this maybe a stupid question, have y'all ever put a slide wall in a B van? These are my needs is why I'm asking. Thank you for the tour.
Plastic air lines for the airbags are running through holes in the steel rails without any kind of grommet or any protection against getting abraded right through, which would cause the airbags to fail and the rear suspension to bottom out.
Excellent composite floor and interior ceiling construction! Composites will not rot, mold, mildew or swell, shrink or split with changing humidity levels. With over 37 years of advanced material reinforcement engineering experience, with today’s advanced composite technologies, RV manufactures should NEVER use wood in their RV sub floors, walls etc. Wood is fine for interior cabinets, but only aluminum, steel, fiberglass molds and advanced specific purpose engineered composites should be used in RV floors, walls and ceiling/roof applications. In fact, Airstream has ditched wood subfloors, switching to all composite subfloors.
Big money, but extremely nice quality/features. Really separates the common folk from these high end options. Im curious on who are buying these, probably the same people buying big diesel Class A’s but want to either down size because kids are grown up or want a separate travel option.
Andrew, do the Grech Turismos include a macerator pump for the black tank? I know the larger Grech RVs do, but I can't tell from the specs whether the Turismo does as well. Please advise. Thanks!
Does anyone rent these? I am planning a trip to the US next year (and hopefully one every following year), and this would be the perfect rig for me, I could still work from it, it is nimble enough to get me everywhere (particularly parks and parking lots), yet very high-end on the inside
Hey Drew, question for you. So what is your opinion on indoor storage for your Grech? I really want to get one but I dont have a spot at my house to park it inside. One of the reasons I want a Grech is because I travel from PA to FL for work around 2-3 times per year so I wanted to save on hotels and flights (I hate stating in roach motels on 95). So paying for storage would negate any savings on that. Also, seeing some older sprinters that were obviously kept outside look kind of rough after a few years or do they just need a good detail? I dont want my RV sitting in my driveway taking up space and looking old. So what is your opinion on storage for your RV? Thanks, Andrew B
I would be ok storing outdoors. It fits in regular parking spot so you should be able to find something reasonable. If you keep it clean and coat of wax on it, it should wear well over time. Most of the trim is painted silver so will not fade like the black plastic you see on other sprinters. Sounds like the grech is the perfect vehicle for the way you are going to use it.
Il love the quality and emphasis on safety however I personally don’t consider this an RV it’s more like a business van for one person to travel the country avoiding the hassle of hotels. If they ever consider a larger vehicle with a full bathroom and either a queen /king bed with full catering facilities I would be very interested. The European build standards are known for their quality but not a part of the RV industry due to the road sizes in Europe. It’s a perfect van for your needs Andrew whilst you have no family or passengers to consider. Converting a bus could be a first step but I dread to think of the costs. I’m waiting for emissions free options to hit the market or the potential to switch the engine for future requirements that are already happening in certain States. It’s definitely challenging times for the RV industry to survive without the ability to modify emissions substantially. I’m understanding why some of the most expensive motorhomes being sold in exchange for much older vehicles.
GREAT EDUCATIONAL VIDEO!!!! But here we go again with the poopy brown interior color. I HATE THAT as someone who is in the market to buy a travel van to live and work in part time. The brown interior color scheme should be outlawed. NO ONE WANTS TO TRAVEL AROUND IN A TOILET. I am not tying to be rude but if a person is planning to spend quite a bit of time in these RVs (van) I would think you would want a color scheme that is appealing to the eyes. I went to an RV show here in Northern California and most of the models were poopy brown and beige in color. It depressed me.
Well, as much as it's exciting that you're expanding the business, and even exciting that a three free RVs but, but, I am butt hurt that it only applies to US citizens! That really sucks! Perhaps, because your channel has grown too, you could give away an International or a USA/CANADA reach across the border and shake the hands of a Canadian Winner????? What do you think????
