You shouldn't go off-road alone where an off-road vehicle is needed. She will spend most of the time on paved roads or fire/service roads where off-road vehicle is not needed. This is grossly overpriced van just because it purports to be off-road vehicle. This is not even 4x4 vehicle! Don't make the same mistake. Don't get sucked into off-road BS.
2K minimum. A whole lot of money for a seat IMO.
Congratulations Mike! This was a great idea to record the orientation of the Ekko. I couldn't help but notice the sale price on the convection oven. Do you think I could get a good deal like that? Thanks and enjoy your ownership.
Thanks, Call Mike Larson at cell number in description to inquire.
can you post a link to the paper towel holder AND the electronic grey water dump. Please and thank you

I’m not 100% this is the one you need. Double check please.
@@brianwhidden thank you
La Mesa has great prices, and friendly no-pressure sales. I checked out all the B's and C's at the PSL location. The Sprekko was my fav. and noticed the ac was much quieter than in the Revel.
I agree 100%, i have a friend who works there and everything went well. Very content with the transaction. Stay tuned as im going to be putting out more content soon with all the mods i do on the Ekko.
Any idea which Cab Shelf Cover that is? I haven't seen one with additional pockets. thanks for the video!
@@1614nevada the wanderful is the company and the product is hideaway headliner cover.
@@brianwhidden thank you!
I like this. Cant wait to see your adventures with it! :)
ladder only holds 230lbs? So much for "fluffy" folks.....sheesh.
@@invictus_photo lol I thought the same thing.
Yea i would never see the roof. lol.
I would call it upsizing from a class B to a class C rather than upgrading. We love our Revels because they are class B's. You'll keep both audiences IF you can avoid the "my Ekko is better" talk.
I agree, i have a 2022 Revel fully modded out, but trying out this new AI tool for more creative title structure with in You Tube, to grab more attention to viewers.
Too many people with too much money.
I'm broke, but I'm gonna do this someday.
Actually I want to do this. I see people who are living life and having fun and not counting on there being a tomorrow.
@randerson4383 100% agree, that’s why I’m doing just this. I have met so many great people.
@ - Good for you my friend. I just retired and I’m trying to talk my wife into getting a van. We’re kind of leaning towards a Revel or Tiffin GH1. Looks like such a blast, I think that would be fun doing short and long excursions with different people.
@randerson4383 both rigs are great. Maybe consider renting one before to try out?
Can you run the Truma on electric as well as propane? He didn’t show you that. Enjoy your new EKKO! New subscriber. Hello from northern Wyoming. I currently own a 2016 diesel Travato G.
Thank you for the sub. Pretty sure the trauma is only run on propane for hot water and heater.
@@brianwhiddencheck it out because the Truma combi can also be run on electric. You want to be able to do that in case you should run out of propane.
Will do
@@ToniAdventures yes I found out you can run truma on electric as well.
I keep seeing lines of covered wagons instead of vans. Love it!
How did the transit do ? Looking to get mind out to Anza this season
@@montyjcm that thing did a lot better than I thought it would.
Thanks, Brian of the great video of our event!
Thx, I think we all had a great time together.
looks like a line for border crossing, just unpaved road, lol
Living my dream….one question if I may,is maintenance on the Mercedes as bad as some TH-camrs describe,I’m looking to buy a used Revel or similar and have reservations about the Mercedes,my option is a Transit.Thanks very much.
I have 0 issues with my Mercedes , highly recommend.
I do love my Revel as well but have had some issues as all Rv unit do, you just have to work through them one at a time. What part of the world do you live?
we just installed the mattress (finally) and also got the protector! it's a "game changer" 🤣
@@larryheiny5287 100% agree. The Ultra Lux is the best Mattress out there for Rv rigs.
That’s a whole lot of vans in one group. Maybe have two or three groups spaced out instead?
We didnt have enough guides, we had three or four groups out there that size, was a good time.
"where the rules of the road no longer apply"? There are standards etiquette and right-of-way courtesies required of any and all off highway travellers, regardless of their "rigs".
We're all ambassadors out there for etiquette, courtesy, and standards, and we put them into practice every time we go out on a run.
NICE
@@campvanrvadventures thanks.
Wow! I can't watch this video. Please get a wide angle camera.
Its next on the list to purchase, what kind of lens do you recommend?
@ I guess I asked for that one.
@@Tony-xc5sk lol, I will be working on that lens soon, also will start using external mics for better audio. Thank you for commenting.
Great video. Good to hear some insight from an owner! Thank you.
thank you.
We were on the ride with you. Nice video
@@lorenworthington8739 thank you , which van?
No 170s?
We had one 170 in our group, it actually did really well.
I saw at least one in the video.
We held the bigest lifted van meet and passed you guys on the way to the canyons. We had 21 vans all lifted but no sprinters would l9ve for yall to bring some friends out to the next one. @JohnDrivesAnything
Great tour! Do you know if the Yakima Homebase is strapped down?
Not sure, but it was very secure . Probably full of gear.
Did yall go to the crayons?
@@sebastianslife91 not that I remember.
Slot Canyons 😊
Ha, we drove right past your convoy with our convoy.
Wish we could have met up to say Hi.
Lifted Ford Econolines meet for the win … ❤❤
How many of us Sebastian? 😂😂
I just got my Sprinter van a week ago. If I can save up enough, I'd really like to join you guys next year. This just looks like a total blast and not something I would ever attempt to do myself.
@@RVTIRED congrats on buying your van. My first mod would be suspension. I remember when I first bought mine over three years ago, I never in a million years imagined how much my life would change as a result of buying my Revel.
@@brianwhidden Thanks. I bought a Launch. I need to save up a bit now, before I can do any upgrades, but I can't wait to get out there and learn. You make it seem so easy!
Rush hour in the desert !😁 greetings from Chicago
Hey
Waaaayyy too many people!!
Funny, we didn't see another rig out there all day!
Who Makes that air Down Gage. That is something I could use. Great Video!!
Agile Offroad sells them.
It's just a regular air gauge you can buy anywhere. He attached it to his APEX high capacity air valves to monitor how much air he let out on each tire. It's the valves, not the gauge, that are the business end.
Great adventure… its cool to see likeminded travelers enjoying the journey
It was my first time at this event, awesome adventure.
Great adventure, greetings from Costa Rica CA
@@sualK2456 thank you.
New sub here🙋🙋🙋
Thank you so much, more content coming soon.
What paint do you use on the sliding door rail?
@@stephenpwilks I use a rustolum primer and paint combo. Matt black. Works great . Just take your time and put small amounts of spray at a time, make sure to cover around the rail good. Total time around 1 hour or so. No wind.
Thanks for the video. Your videos would really benefit from a remote microphone.
@@srt5321 yes I agree, I have a great one just sometimes forget to use it.
Just picked up my 2025. I want to keep tabs on the tv mount from canyon as that is something I want as well.
@@deanpeddle90 that would be a great addition to your van, Cav is the best.
You are the only person so far that is showing an owner review on the 25 revel. Thank you!
@@johnwu7985 we had a great time doing the video, thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video walk thru, Brian. Can you share additional details on the motorized grey water dump valve? Who makes it? Who did install? Thanks!
@@elcapitan1966 Adrenaline HQ in Montrose CO dies mist of my work on van. I got the part on Amazon. Use gray water electric valve and should find it.
Looks like a great time. Now I’m gonna need to join the cool kids paint rail club!
@@terrain4x4adventures I can do it very soon for you sir.
@@brianwhiddenthank you but I’m not sure when our paths will cross since I’m now back at home in Utah.
Epic weekend with exceptional people. Drone shot at the was fantastic!
@ thank you so much. Catch up soon.
Heated?
@@bassmonk2920 yes
Nice overview. Thanks!
@@diskzero01 thank you
So cool ❤❤❤
Finished product looks awesome!
Thank you. was an easy mod.
The GSD looks great. Those O Rings can be tricky during the install for sure. Just fyi the GLSS will still work with your GSD, the only difference is your side door (that faces the rear doors) is a little taller so it won’t clear the edge of the GSD. Also, if you find yourself wanting more storage under the bed, the Bed Risers give you a ton more space and storage. Looking forward to seeing you perfect your van. Love the videos and nice camera work at the end 🤙🏼
Thanks for the info!
Happy to hear you’re liking the table Brian! We’re pretty stoked on that system. Would be curious to hear what you think now that you’ve taken a trip with it. Thanks for the support as always 🙏
Really enjoying it so far.
Hi Brian, does the curtain extend to the floor when closed and with the seats facing forward? There were no images of the bottom/lower end of the curtains. Thank you for your video. It helped to answer some of my questions about the CA Vans product.--Al Newby
It goes to about 18 inches from floor. I still am loving it though. Sorry such a late reply.
Looks great. This is Roger C.
thanks
Did it cost $500?
