    My Winnebago Solis px is my daily driver. It is on a ram 3500 van. I think it is super easy to drive. I drove a Toyota Yaris for 13 years. My van is as easy to drive as my yaris. They both are front wheel drive with a tiny front end. I would say my digital rear view mirror is super key. For me a backup camera wouldn't have been enough. Nothing beats having a mobile office, full kitchen, bath etc always with me. We did also add 800 amp hours of lithium so I can run everything including my AC. Not sure I would drive a car daily again. I also live next to a city and parallel park it many times a week on city streets.

    Great video for navigating in the city, thank you for that. Something to note, is that although the van technically has a nine speed transmission, gears eight and nine are apparently locked out with software, so in reality it’s a seven speed.

    I've racked up 87k miles in less than 3 years on my Sprinter 170. The biggest consideration/accommodation isn't size, it's the complex RV systems that are taxed using it as a daily driver. This includes wear from frequent use, road vibration, and temperature. The maintenance is higher because there's more stuff that breaks. That said, there's no going back for me: for the price of a luxury car, I have a mobile pied-à-terre.

    • @strangerpalooza

      @shannonburke7346 Totally agree on the Cross Trail. We are shopping this weekend and my wife likes the extras on the Cross Trail, but quality looks inferiors to the Class B Coachmen vans. Hoping she sticks to wanting the Beyond.

    How is driving this unit on the highway over 60mph or in winds greater than 20mph. Does it catch wind like a class C? Any push when semis pass? We have 19 foot class c Coleman and it’s terrible when winds are high. Can’t drive over 45mph without feeling unsafe on highway.

      I can’t speak specifically about the Beyond but your point was a point of confusion with me as well. Coachmen with the Ram chassis gets vans from the Promaster factory with some options and some vans without some options, there is no standard unless you order a “ full spec van” and it’s stated on your contract. Also worth noting is that there is no price lock on the van you are ordering, again, unless it’s stated in the contract.
