I just have to say, Patrick, you did a great job giving the tour. you were steady on the camera, took your time with description, knew what you were saying, moved all that stuff with one hand but still the camera was steady. that was as impressive as the Winnebago.
Very well done demo! This is an impressive small RV, well thought out. Finally, a tambour door to bathroom, hurrah!! And also a hygiene hand sprayer by the toilet, very smart. Love the functionality and design elements. We are learning to compete with the elegant Euro models at last!
Patrick you did a wonderful job with that Ram Master Winnebago Camper as far as detailing showing everything I am a Dodge van person and I was blown away with all those new bells and whistles that truck had to offer wow keep up the hard work there are us out here we need to see what's going on at the shows that don't always go cuz we're working thank you for your hard work sir
Looking through all comments up till now (94 in total) it seems that none of the commenters really used this RV in practice: they only commented on what they saw, so it’s time I write down what we (my wife and I) experienced in this RV during our 4 week USA vacation in June-July 2016: Flew in from Munich (Germany, Europe) into Las Vegas and rented this RV from
As an American who has traveled all 48 connected states, you're really better off renting a car and staying in hotels at night. The money you save on gas and the RV rental will more than cover the cost of the hotel, and in major cities like San Francisco or New York you'll have a difficult time finding a place to legally park an RV.
Robin Sattahip Dear Robin, tanks for your feedback. In principle you’re right of course, but for us this is not an option if you know the places we visited in this particular trip (our 10th trip to the USA). We like the Colorado Plateau, so this year we mostly spent our time in southern Utah and a bit of Colorado, and those are areas where there are just no hotels at all, example: we went to Hovenweep- and Natural Bridges National Monument and in both places hotels are very far away. In those cases it sure is very practical to ‘be your own hotel’ including food and bed, and both of those places have campgrounds. A next time we also plan to ‘do’ the Hole-in-the-Rock road, and we sure do not want to return to Escalante every evening. If you’ve been on that road, you know why. But yes, if you stay on the main roads and in urban areas, then a rented car and hotels would be a lot cheaper.
I have the Winnebago Travato 59K with solar panel and bike rack. It's the model with two twin beds and a nice, large rear bathroom. I love it. No major parking problems, easy to unhook when you want to leave your spot to get groceries, explore the area, etc. It doesn't compromise window space with a huge refrigerator/bathroom combo on the driver's side. Winnebago continues to keep up with what RVers want and utilizes the latest in European eco-utility and connectivity technology. The V-6 3.6 gasoline engine has been around for several years and has proven to be reliable and economical to run. The Ram Promaster drives like a dream. I can pull my boat/trailer at the hitch and still have two bikes on the rear door rack. Having had every kind of camping scenario from tent to pop-up tent camper, a pop-up hard-sided Chalet camper, a cab-over truck camper and two different travel trailers, this baby is an amazingly simple, elegant way to go if you don't need a 500 sq. ft. Class A home-away-from-home RV. Maybe what you really didn't like about it was this fellow's New Jersey accent. Got depth much?
So hard to imagine what the world will be like when models like these are deemed 'antique' in a few short years! Technology moves and changes so quickly it's very difficult to get too stoked about 'state-of-the-art' vehicles, appliances, electronics, phones etc anymore :(
***** That's my point. It's almost like a complete waste of time, technology and money to keep 'upping' features every day. We truly create way more than we need and it just stops being impressive after a while. We are a very wasteful and disposal society and I just realized that after watching this video (for I'm in the market for a RV) Unless the next model can fly (or repair itself when it breaks down) they are improving unnecessary features just to inflate the price, ergo: line the CEO's pockets. (end rant) Peace~
Very nice tour of the RV. I like it. Just that on fixed income, and not being rich, if indeed it is over $55,000 as some of the comments below suggest, it is way too much for me to invest in. Would love to have it as a spare room when visitors come and as a mobile home on my western explorations. Thank you.
Alex Ponce de Leon I would argue that solar is not necessary if you’ve got a large lithium battery (like the new 48 volt 11K Ah units they are putting in some of the new GL and KL) and a large alternator, assuming you plan to drive the van modestly every two days or so, which most people do. Plus, Winnebago puts generators in most of these builds, making solar even less necessary. I say this as someone who converted a promaster myself and placed 900 watts of solar on the roof - it works for me because my van ends up being parked in driveway quite a bit, and the solar does a nice job of keeping the van systems running, including AC refrigerator, when not in use. However, I do not believe this is a common use case.
I've always wondered why a camper needs two sinks. A kitchen sink and a bathroom sink in a *house* makes sense. But the only thing I can think of that you need a camper sink for is for brushing your teeth. Just brush your teeth in the "kitchen" sink. I'd rather get rid of the bathroom sink and have the extra real estate.
I find the negative comments about the price amusing. 80K is not bad considering a nicely optioned lux sedan runs much more, not to mention the interest on a self contained rv is tax deductible if you decide to finance. I think it's perfect not only for the extended vacations for two but the weekend runs to the park, lake or even tailgating given its relative compact size.
I know right! They need to get start making this for 30k and under. Doesn't have to be too fancy. Long as it has a bed, stove and shower. Guess ill wait til 2030 and get this used lol
Great compact caravan, reminds me of neo traveller z, which objectivelly i think has better floor plan, yet, not so bad if they add full solar panel, with cinderella toilet, and rain haversting-filtering system to fill the water tank. Rv park and camp ground are expensive these days, they are better for class a or b plus motorhome, yet for this size motprhome it is better to be on s0theside of the beach, lake, even the woods and as off grid as possible while doing outdoor sport
The whole truck setup is good except for 1 thing. The sink in the bathroom should be removed for more space for showering. Because you already have a sink right next to the bathroom. All in all the truck is great.
i sub to you thanks.. ya i like the small vans you can go any-ware.. the problem is the wife and I need the space.. so we bought a old rig thats bigger.. more stuff to fix lol love the videos thanks Ross and Heather from FL
What price? What power with engine and generator? Do you know what people want to know? You may know everything which is in the Van but, didn't present it very well. JMHO
Teeny. Tiny living area. Poorly designed. Am 6'-0" and feet have difficulty getting in and out from under that tray table. Two people sitting there would be tight and uncomfortable. The bed is ridiculous. Part of it is cut off at the feet on the inside due to lack of room in the interior. Would make for a much too tight nights sleep for two people. If two in the bed and the one by the window wants to get up to go to toilet, extremely difficult, have to slightly climb over legs of sleeping partner. Two people moving around trying do do things, extremely tight and uncomfortable. Was considering this for 84K reduced from MSRP of 91K. Liked screen sliding door, very light weight don't know how sturdy it would be. You mostly see white vans because they are much less expensive. I didn't buy tis and wouldn't simply because of what I consider insufficient interior space.
I don't like the dump valve at almost ground level behind the rear wheel. That's a bad location and highly likely to get damaged. Also, Fiat + Chrysler is like negative synergy: two manufacturers of questionable quality. Good luck with that!
The bed is the bad point. No one can sleep on a seam like that. So it might be ok for one person, but the other person is going to be sleeping in the crack. And the interior just seems claustrophobic for the $$.
The storage space above the driver and passenger seat. Why not design the seats so that the back rests fold down forward. This would allow that storage space to be lowered into a sleeping compartment. With the extra space you could have a separate shower and toilet and a bigger kitchen area.
+DormantIdeas NIQ Yeah, all you is a car or mini van. Tent, propane, extra water, optional dry ice cooler. All set for $200-500 for 1-4 week comfortable trip. No need to bring or wish for the moving micro house van when the great outdoors is your kitchen, living room, and bedroom.
I just have to say, Patrick, you did a great job giving the tour. you were steady on the camera, took your time with description, knew what you were saying, moved all that stuff with one hand but still the camera was steady. that was as impressive as the Winnebago.

Thank you for showing us everything for this Fiat Ducato Ram Pro Master.
Appreciate the detail info for this model has to offer.
You are welcome
Loved your tour! Makes me want to sell my house and buy one of these!!!

Great walk-through and tour of this coach! I love the red exterior! Thanks for the video. You do a great job on these!
Thank you.
Very nice RV and a great tour of it. Thank you!
Very informative...well worth the time. Thanks!
Very nicely explained -- thanks!
man, i really wish they had these when i was younger.
age has nothing to do with it....... marital status, finances, those can put the dream on hold...
+Rory Roberts add 3 kids and you're done.
That rooftop A/C looks like a 50,000 BTU unit, LOL! It looked HUGE! Yes I know it was probably a lens effect...
Great video! I want one of these!
Heavy duty mud flaps!!!!! I'll take it.
lol lol good one....lmao
Esse carro faz parte do meu sonho, muito lindo
I like the presentation. Unfortunately I am 7 feet tall and am challenged to find the vehicle suitable to my needs. Any suggestions?
Good review... thanks!
Wanted to see your first RV review and found it. Can’t be a fan if I don’t watch your first van life review video.
Ha thanks. I’ve been doing RV tours longer than this. I totally different channel.
Great Video...very well done! Wonder if my Stowaway can be attached with that bike rack on the back.
Wendy Grudin Wendy, they're placing the bike rack higher up now, than what you see in this video.
I really like this !
For that price they should have SOLAR panels included. Other than that I like it. Why build these van w/out SOLAR is a mystery to me.
Or a dually rear end. Quite unsafe if you ask me. They use to but not any more???
Solar? Ugh
yes to solar.
aguyandhiscomputer Absolutely yes to solar. Pretty standard now on most rigs.
They are designed for the campground all around. This is why people diy!
who builds the best AFFORDABLE camper vans?
single traveller camper it is !

Have a question! If the places dontvhabr electric hook up but I
have solar panels how long can u last just on solar
I seen people go weeks with just solar and battery
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures even with a/c and refrigerator and all
Nice! I love it!
I love it. What is the price? Does it come with Diesel fuel engine?
no solar panels big mistake

Solar has always been an option. Either he didn't point it out of this one didn't have it.

Who do you get your tax advice from?
Very nice.....if my stock picks are good going to buy one.....or similar
I love it
Any of these units with four wheel or all wheel drive? I'd like one for the mountains in the winter. Thx
I could live in this easily. So nice. But $59,000? That's a lot. I can only imagine what the tags and tax would run every year.
Vonnie K MSRP is about $100 with certain options. You could get a used one for about $65.
Is that how much this cost? That's not bad some cost over 100, thousand
Whew! Not for a poor people like me!
Vonnie K business credit card...
I know right! They need to get start making this for 30k and under. Doesn't have to be too fancy. Long as it has a bed, stove and shower. Guess ill wait til 2030 and get this used lol
the glove box blew me away
hi
I have Citroën jumper and I would like to make like this. Can you help me where to buy those items such as toilet and bed and so on

Are they still building the RV in Forest City?
I would love to see a video on how one gets a kayak up on the roof.
+NJ Outdoors (Outdoor Adventures) I still would love to see a video of this. There are no TH-cam videos of this......
That’s a nice one!
Thank you
Nice presentation, but I think this is the first time Patrick has made a mistake with the fridge saying it ran on gas, electric, propane.
Can you get this floor plan in a sprinter or transit?
how many can sleep
Nice video. Very informative. Any chance there is a 4x4 version?
Bummer....
I will stick with my old Rialta, every feature this has plus 8" more bed width.
bonjour je suis avec vous merci

Really wish I could get that RV! 😓💔

Pals heavy That was actually fantastjc job! beat ..
Great van, but the price is too high to be used as a full-time living space. More like a 1%ers weekend toy.
quit complaining and get to work and buy your own or maybe it should be given to u as part of the bernie plan

An RV loan is cheaper than rent in most large cities.
MPG?
Where's the wine cooler ?
A ladder that goes up! A door that closes! An awning that goes up---to a higher height!
I have something going up from this video.
double sized bed?
What price? What power with engine and generator? Do you know what people want to know? You may know everything which is in the Van but, didn't present it very well. JMHO
no seat belts for more than 2 people?
how much????
wow that is really nice...how many people can sleep in it?
thanks, we are 4. very nice RV
What the price of the it

for the size of the vehicle... It seems nice. is it priced under $75,000?

Needs Solar...
great a glove box
I bet you've had a large canoe in the back.
Good video apart from using the fish eye camera setting.
Pretty cool!
I'll give ya $40,000
It's my understanding that the refrigerator does NOT run on propane....only electric. Anyone know if I'm wrong about that?
+NJ Outdoors (Outdoor Adventures) Thanks. I'm also unsure of the hot water. LP or electric?
You had me until I saw the shower/toilet area. How is someone supposed to use the toilet if the shower is being used??
+hetrodoxly haha
I don't like the dump valve at almost ground level behind the rear wheel. That's a bad location and highly likely to get damaged. Also, Fiat + Chrysler is like negative synergy: two manufacturers of questionable quality. Good luck with that!
What a nice RV...thanks for showing it ...price right around $40,000 ?
take a look at the base prices of regular vehicles.
93.000
40K? You could not buy the base vehicle for that amount, let alone the conversion cost
The bed is the bad point. No one can sleep on a seam like that. So it might be ok for one person, but the other person is going to be sleeping in the crack. And the interior just seems claustrophobic for the $$.
need to put the price
I wish they had a Ford under it.
Se ho capito bene $ 16.000, in Italia ce li sogniamo dei prezzi così. Siamo proprio ben messi. Grazie politicanti.
