It was so nice to finally meet you guys in person , I apologize for crying so much. I do want to thank you guys for everything, we newbies look forward to your sound advice & encouragement. You never make us feel like we are asking dumb questions. My getting an RV is my gift to myself for my upcoming 60th birthday this year & a lot of that courage comes from you guys.
You both did a fantastic video of this show. I saw and learned so much. Thank you!
Really great job covering the interesting new stuff! Thanks for putting this together for those of us that couldn't make it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You both do such a wonderful job of show casing what's new at the show!
Great Video, thank for showing all the "B's".
Great video! Im a big Class B guy, so I really appreciate your focus on those models! Great job on the presentation! 👍👌😎✌🏻
Thanks, Roberto. Please subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so already
Great video. So much more entertainment than just the new RV's. You guys look like you had a lot of fun! I've always wanted to visit the show. I appreciate you showing us the Pleasureway RV's. Such a great use of space with the Murphy bed. I have one in my Sonic travel trailer and I like the versatility of how you can use the space. I just don't know if there are any Pleasureway dealers in Florida.
Great video 😄 Jennifer, you do a wonderful job touring the inside!
Truly enjoy your channel!
Thanks for providing such an entertaining and comprehensive tour of the 2019 RVs (and a little taste of the fair atmosphere 😊).
Thanks for showing us around. Makes my 2015 CS Adventurous XL seem old. But, it still has some good years left. Looking forward to your next adventure!
Thank you! Wow, Bs have come a long way since our 2007 RT 210P! The rigs are beautiful! Looks like fun entertainment as well!
Nice to meet you both at the Winnebago display. Gordon and Louise. Been watching for a couple of years now.
Thanks so much for showing all the manufacturers that you did show in this video. Very informative !!!
This was a great video.
The pop tops are fun, but I need a bathroom. That RV show has a little of everything going on 🤣
You all did a great job on this video....unlike some of your "contemporaries" you didn't run straight to Prevost and sit and go nuts over them. You covered a lot more and it was very entertaining. Thanks
great job guys. Thoroughly enjoyed that video
Another GREAT RV video . Thanks!! :-) Happy Trails.
Pleasure Way is the industry leader, among volume builders, from a design and build quality perspective. They just need to get their electrical system caught up with some others in the industry. I'd love to see them offer a propane free, high capacity lithium and solar power system on the Accent Sprinter 144. That's what a lot of people want to see, but PW is still installing propane and inadequate batteries/solar on every van. Then if add the Alde diesel heat/hot water system and 4x4, now you have the perfect off-grid van that's small enough (19ft) to go just about anywhere.
I like the Coachmen Galleria too, but they don't sell a van on the Sprinter 144 chassis. The PW Accent is the only short Sprinter I'd buy right now. Forget about Roadtrek's, their build quality is pretty shabby and now with this huge corruption scandal in the company, I definitely wouldn't buy anything from them.
Loved Every Minute Of It! Thank You!
You two are the best ❤️ thanks for helping people with rving
There are a lot of people posting videos from this show. This has been the most informative by far! You don’t give your opinion of what YOU don’t like. Just the facts. We can decide for ourselves if we want to investigate further. Thank you for such a concise presentation!
That's what we figure. People want to see what's available and make up their own mind. We consider our job to 1) Have fun and 2) Show you what we're seeing
Greetings from Australia.
Great video. I love you guys.
My favourite Class B is the Leisure van with the Murphy bed. Wish we could buy them here.
Thanks for the video Mike! Looks like you and Jennifer had a great time!
Love your videos. Just starting our adventure. You're right; who wouldn't love to be in Fl. -35 here and snowing again!! UGH!
Thanks for the info.
I was there on Senior Day Wednesday January 20TH .
I saw a video from Joe & Kait Russo from WTR Were The Russos in Maui and they got an E-mail from Hymer that they are in Receivership & will be closing their doors so they probably won't be able to keep their Hymer Active Van that is on loan to them . Will it be the same situation for you folks as well ?
Awesome job guys!
Great video, thank you for sharing.
The only thing better would have been following you around in person. The creativity of the manufacturers appear to be reflecting more of what the buyers want making it harder and harder to pick the 'right one'... Thank you for sharing !
It is hard! Everytime we saw something we really liked in one unit, we found something we really liked in another. But we did a lot of personal shopping and research at the show, identifying the features that are most important to our RV Lifestyle and the brands and models that best fit our needs. We have compiled a nice list and plan to investigate and shop around a lot in the coming weeks.
ENJOYED!
At 11:52 in the video you mentioned that this was a Ford Transit Leisure Brand Wonder, I'm wondering if you have a video on this model with the dark interior.? We really like what we saw but can't find a matching video. Please reference if possible. Thank you for your great reviews 😉
Very cool thanks 😎👍🚌
Love ur videos. Keep it up
You did a great job. I would have liked a better view of the inside of the enclosed bathroom of the Haven at the beginning of the video. Also a view of the interior space of the fridge/freezer would have been informative. It is hard to maneuver with two people so maybe the person holding the camera could open the doors and not be blocked by the other person. Really enjoyed your video. See you there next year.
Would like know your thoughts on Pleasure-Way, The company and product .
Also to ask was that Dean Rumpel Ceo on the showroom floor?
Thanks 👍😎
Nice video but the video went out a couple of times even though the sound kept playing. Thanks for sharing this with us.
That was an Internet glitch on your end... it plays fine
Regarding the Haven . Great Fridge . Hate the stripes and Nooooo on the passenger side bath . Obstructs drivers view and who wants to look out on your neighbors campsite?
Mike and Jennifer! Hey how did you like that Carado Axion Studio? It looked like you liked it!! That is the one I can't wait to see in person!! The Carado Axion has long been on my short list for my new purchase soon!! I need something that can be a daily driver (small length) but also have everything required for weekend getaways!!! This one seems to be in a class all it's own for what I need it for!! Now I get the added bonus of a Loft above (bedroom) and Living Room below!!! Can you say Penthouse Apt on wheels.....Ha Ha!!! Plus added bonus........................it has full height and undermount A/C (unlike the PleasureWay Tofino)!!! What are your thoughts having been in it? Thanks you two!!! Tell Bo Hi for us!!!
It's nice... thse pop top models are really catching on.
So informative! Thank you! Where do you stay while you attend a show like that? Is there a park nearby?
Great review, some nice changes are starting to be made for the B class. On one of my Florida trips I visited Sunshine State RV’s ( nice people ) and tried on a Promaster conversion. I found it uncomfortable in the drivers seat because it doesn’t have a tilt steering wheel and I couldn’t heal and toe between the gas and brake pedal. Had to actually lift my foot off the floor to use the brake pedal.
Next to a CrossFit on a Transit chassis which had a great driving position and just felt like a long trip would not make me grumpy.
I know you enjoy your Benz diesel, but I just think they are more expensive to maintain and pray no breakdowns occur. The Benz dealers have scared off a lot of prospective customers with $ 350 to $ 800 service bills for basic maintenance visits. I like a $ 100 synthetic oil change and tire rotation at my Nissan dealer for my needs.
So glad your back in the saddle and looking forward to your next van build update at your new location.
Thanks for the video. I'm very impressed with the quality of the video itself, may I ask what kind of equipment you use?
Canon ES M-50
can you tell me how to go about Camping at the fairground for the 2020 show? Im looking for anything on that it will help thank you
Wish I would have known about this show. Maybe next year. Galleria best of show?? Looks like typical cheap build materials and quality on the interior. Doesn’t look like much has improved in quality over the years. I’ll stay with my Aviator Wright Flyer for now.
I wonder about the long term maintainability of the networked wiring and control systems. Electronics do fail over time. Most have a short production life span as the technology improves. Once the run of the circuit boards or processors is over, they are gone. It may be a major issue in repairing some of these systems ten years later.
Thanks for video. I watched another video that toured the Coachmen plant and highlighted their new A/C system and the new insulation materials and technicques. Any ideas of coachmen will apply these to class c sprinters?
Not sure about other models but we really liked the Li3 and the Crossfit.
Yes, I love the way you did the highlights of the technology. My personal story is I'm ready to buy a Winnebago Revel but I want the 2019 MB chassis. If I can't get that. I'm going to get a class B with the pop top and outfit it to 4WD. I'm so excited.😆😆😆
Anti Petrolhead We have a 4x4 Roadtrek and it has been invaluable getting us to amazing places that no regular Class B can handle. The 4x4 has got us out of some situations that just spring up out of nowhere when out and about even on milder dirt roads.
Did any have a propane tank on them or just a generator volt start to charge the batteries?? I AM LOOKING FOR A ECONOMY TYPE RV IN THE CLASS B OR B+ TYPES. THANKS.
The Crossfit is not on a Sprinter chassis
Thanks liked the smaller RV's.. lol. but not the too small sprinters. Would have liked to have seen small Class A's etc. normal people might buy.. thx..
I must say after viewing many video's featuring virtually every known manufacturer, I consider PleasureWay ahead of them all. Not only in interior design but execution and quality of manufacture along with their choice of fixtures and materials. Let alone being more focused on Lithium batteries which is where it's at. Also easy availability of better output levels of solar and more. Sorry but RoadTrek is NOT in their league.
Pleasure=Way makes a beautiful van. We visited and sat in every one they had on display. Several times. We like the Pleateau FL a lot
Lee Rothman I am waiting for the compressor fridge, underhood generator, and 4x4 option on the PW. I think I may be waiting for a long time. Rumpell has indicated he likes none of those items in previous videos.
This makes my cargo trailer/camper conversion look pretty sad.
Awesome ! Can you tell me the make and model of the class B that has the murphy bed you so wonderfully demo? Thx
That was the Wonder from Leisure Travel Vans
I believe it was the 855S Short Bed model. There is also an 865 model that was very similar. Both are very nice.
Did you see a Class B that could "tempt" you away from your Roadtrek? I've kinda got my mind set on a Pleasure Way Plateau XLMB but Im still researching.
Yeah... we saw several we really, really liked. Stay tuned :-)
My husband and I trying to see the RV show in Tampa is it this March they have show??
If you can tell me when ? It will be big help !
Lanie McCann it just happened in January
Ohhh 😩have to wait next year!
are those RVs on Fords worth it? Im not that keen on Ford, but it would be cheaper for parts etc. Anyone have any issues?
Zoom out or step back so we can see what she’s pointing too and referencing please.
Thanks for the fun video. Any idea what model the first Lance truck camper was?
Ok, I love my dogs but there's no way I'm putting anything in my mouth that has been in their's. Gross at 19:40
I was really hoping Mike would hold the shot long enough to see if the woman ate the rest of it, after the dog had its share...
If they were willing to share as much of it as they did right there, you know they finished it. I've never seen anything like this. Disgusting.@@joycetarleton985
It's nice the Tampa show allows doggies, the Hershey one doesn't.
They sure have a lot of dogs there. We had fun meeting so many of them
Nice little vans but way over priced. You could buy a big motor home what you pay for one of those small vans
RV shows are very dangerous places to visit especially on your wallet.
You got that right!
Are class b’s the only RV’s at Tampa?
Oh no... they e=have, Class A's, Class Cs 5ers, towables, pop ups and more. To capture them all would require a movie
