After doing research this is a great list for a reality check because these are turn key meaning you could walk in with your gear and drive to your camp ground. If this is for recreation rent them it’s cheap in the long run but if you’re doing van life buy a van that you don’t have to finance and build it out as you determine what your needs are. I definitely like the Murphy bed and pop top pairing.
Yay 💯 That white one looks just like mine!! The reason why I still love ✨️my Roadtrek Zion Class B is because I bought it used right BEFORE the pandemic + I paid waaay less. Plus, its my everyday driver and the only place I can't park it is in a parking garage.
@@MustSeeTech sorry bro . You fooled us for some min🤣😂🤣🤣 why did you go highest to lowest . That's why everyone complaining coz they didn't saw full video . Sorry from everyone else😁
Adria and Hymer S are the best out of the list. The Adria is my #1 pick! Would be a way better choice if it was priced at least $5,000 to $7,000 cheaper!!!
Hi there. I included only the fully equipped Class Bs based on the full-size campervans. Smaller and cheaper models are left for another video. If you know models that fit this description and are cheaper than these, please mention them in the comments.
Thank you for this video. For this price range and specs, you may also consider VW Grand California 600. I've tried one. Awesome, spacious for a family and very nice to drive!
In the summer of 2017, I saw so many Mercedes RV's parked on the side of the road with over heating issues... I live in Central Texas and I must have seen at least 30 Mercedes RV broke down.
Daym the twin one is awsome! (just visited a dealer and this thing is really insane for the price) For the money saved i even can put on some Extra stuff)
Very good video. I believe that there is a very large market in the U.S. for a 2-person basic campervan. But the companies want to sell you all the fancy stuff that really has not additional function. All I want is the basic Dodge Ram van with simple bed, cabinets, and compost toilet. Basically a traveling motel room, so that I can visit all the National Parks and not h ave to pay $200 to $300 dollars per night for room and food. Something engineered for $65,000 would be nice, like the Solis or the Tofino. Start basic with the potential to add creature comforts as needed.
I agree. I would love the Solis so my older kids could come with me if they wanted too. I’m hoping in 2 years when I’m ready to buy the demand will be down and so will the prices. Possibly some of the folks who went out and got them during the pandemic will be selling then too.
You know you should get a tub that extends out just the the side extension of the RV! There should be an option to press a button and a tub extends and back up when done!
This was a great video. Lots of information in a short time. I thank you for that. I am trying to decide if this is fir me. I love this intro into these different priced rvs. Great info. 😊
Are u able to customize the camper van? I would like only a large bathroom, triple water capacity and sleeper, while removing the kitchen and cabinets feature. Thanks for sharing.
The most important thing to me is which chasis the van is on. Second is floor plan. But the way all of these videos are based on which company is the builder and I can’t watch the whole vid just to see which chasis it is.
I hate how you have to sleep on the sofa pull out instead of an actual bed. And the fact that I don’t understand the extra pop up on some of the models. I would be more inclined to build my own at a much lower price.
Because car production and specs depend on the demand versus production cost. Buffing up a van's HP and Torque would mean added cost which will no longer be appealing/affordable to casual van buyers.
Sometimes I wish to actually SEE a person taking a shower in there (clothes obviously) I would buy a portable tub and place it in there to soak. I feel like if I am traveling I would want a place that I could actually really shower so I would t stink
@@endofsociety I know that. Just trying to make light of the fact that in Europe caravans are way cheaper than the U.S. if one did work remotely, moving to Europe and living in a caravan would be ideal, especially with what is going on here and would save a ton of $
I like the interior of the vans. But I would not put any money on Dodge/Ram products. The chasis is half of the investment. There products are cheap for a reason. Mechanically, they don't hold out well. They are well known for breakdowns and repair.
@@MustSeeTech Mercedes. I know it's cost more when maintenance is needed. But performing the required maintenance Will keep it running trouble free for years of usage. We own an auto repair shop. We seen enough of Chrysler work to avoid it at all cost.
They don’t hold out well? My DSP had about 50 of them delivering Amazon packages ALL day and ALL week for the last couple of years. Seldom did any of them end up needing mechanical work. Body work? Oh yeah. Lots. Idiot drivers. But mechanical issues? Nah. I guess we lucked out with those Ram vans.
Hi. You should not need a special license to drive these, but to know for sure you will need to check with local authorities. The class B is a camping classification, it is not related to licensing
if i had one the first thing id remove, the Porest name on the back. don't matter what rv you got you got some extra cash to spend so you not really poor, unless its home built one what be far cheaper than even the van ones but it size bus with bedrooms. think the name might put a few people off from buying, if it was Hyundai explorer, Hyundai travel anything better than Porest. have nothing with cheap rv, even micro ones i say more the better, ive been tempted recent an old bedford racial well with in budget what got for next car but very tempted micro rv be great for my trips away and those long 7-12 drives through Wales, and small van lots places you pull over enjoy a great view but huge risks classic van what seen 30 plus winters in uk with lots salt on road so while im tempted but still undecided.depends if i win bit money and can buy a good condition so a good foundation to start with then could be more tempting

You can buy a decent and proper sized RV for less than the cost of these tiny little vans. Over $101,000? How many people do you think can afford that?
It depends. Many people I know are selling their older class Bs at break even or even a profit compared to what they bought it for. It’s a sellers market right now due to high demand. They won’t depreciate as much as a typical car, for sure. Especially if some improvements are made, a clean, well running/functioning class B can go up in value.
This video would have great info, but the narration is impossible to follow, due to the incorrect emphasis on syllables of words throughout. You either need a new screen reading program, or a new person to read it.
@@MustSeeTech the #1 thing in a van is a recirculating shower with no sink in shower. Shower walls should be straight & flat so after shower one can use a squeeze on walls to help water go down. #2 a vent /fan on upper side of shower wall. Shower should have a flip bar to hang swim suit/ scuba diving suit. #3 Vans need 1000 volts of solar panels. We need enough power to run TV & computer & refrigerator & microwave at same time. Maybe even a small oven. Everything should be able to runs 24 hrs with no electricity from camp grounds or someone's house. Of course I will never run microwave for more then 5 minutes. But I do not want to run out of power. #4 8-10 lithium batteries with easy access to batteries. I would put batteries on a tray like some people put bikes on a pull out tray. I would wrap each battery with that electric heated pads for batteries. That way batteries can survive in cold snow winter weather , if one uses van to go skiing. #5 air conditioner that works off the floor. That way it doesn't have hot sun beating on airconditioner. That way there is more room for solar panels. The dog and cat will like it when airconditioner comes on automatically when the temperature reaches 75 Fahrenheit. The dog would love to lay down near blowing cold air. #6 A hitch /rack in the back of the van for a motorcycle carry ramp. I think that a motorcycles can tour cities with narrow street better than a van. Also save on gasoline/ diesel. I would always want my motorcycle with me. But I no longer drive motorcycles on snow. Having a motorcycle helps for when one runs out of gasoline / diesel. In some countries gasoline stations are to far apart. One will need a motorcycle to go get fuel. #7 bicycles rack in front of van. #8 I perfer a separate freezer. Separate refrigerator. Both must run 24 hrs. Refrigerator should always be placed where it is easy to remove from the van in case the refrigerator has to be serviced. It is helpful when refrigerator and freezer work off 12 volt /gas/ 210 volt as backup. The refrigerator that door opens from both sides is nice. #9 a deep large kitchen sink with rotation large handle, that has a pull out nozzle. It is nice when sink is large enough to fit a 12 LB cat in sink. My cat loves to sleep in kitchen sink. If the sink is placed near a door then the pull out nozzle should be long enough to go outside. I would put a fast Detachment on the faucet so I can hook up 30 feet hose. I could use flex hose to wash down mud off dog or boots. I could also use hose to fill van radiator if needed. In real life I needed that in my Ford van two times. Also wash mud off motorcycle . #10 air compressor seat for driver. Like the 18 wheelers trucks. That way one can drive 10 hours without having blood in legs cut off. It helps to not fall asleep while driving . Plus seat should be confortable for someone that is 4 feet 9 inches tall and 6 feet 2 inches tall. Most driver seats in most vans are to tall !!! That cuts off the circulation and causes varicose veins. If companies are going to continue making driver seat so tall then a large box is need on floor. I would extend the brake , clutch & gas peddles over the box on floor. But easier to install air compresser seat. Makes it more confortable for bumpy rides. #11 rotation driver/passenger seats. With a lagoon table in between the seats. This is easy to do. #12 van needs a second alternator. #13 then needs air compressor the fill up tires. #14 A Large Garage storage under the bed. #15. If u put bed on a elevator up/down system to make it easy to get to stuff from garage area. #16 Screen door on sliding door so cat & dog can't escape. The dog and cat can get out with the screen net, not good. Back doors need a screen on upper part by bed. And seperate screen door for under bed. It is nice to sleep with back doors open hanging over a mountain. But I don't want my cat or dog to go sky diving. I do not want flying bugs in van so it must have a screen or net I wish they would make nets for driver/passenger window #17 heated floors. #18. Fan inside van to suck out food cooking smell or for air circulation while sleeping in 90 -110 degree Fahrenheit. I have done this many years . But if u have a dog/ cat must keep van 80 degrees Fahrenheit or less. I noticed that most fan/vents are on roof of van. Why not put Van /Vent on side of van wall? Do they even make fans for side of vans. Boats have them out on oceans. And water doesn't get inside. #19 I do not need this for parallel parking for I know how to parallel park an 18 wheeler. #19. Camera on all 4 sides of van that can be monitored on TV inside van for security. Video should be able to Monitore on cell phone. That way u can watch your van from inside a restaurant or building. This is when thieves like to break in ,when they watch you go inside the restaurant. Also might be nice to have videos to prove an accident in the court of law. This video is also good for TH-cam videos. I don't understand why some people can not drive a 20-25 foot van. I think the whole world needs to test drive people on large cars, Vans, in rain,in dark before giving out driver license. Test parallel parking from passenger side and driver side before issuing a driver's license. The test should be in dark. This is why we have bad drivers on the road , they do not test them enough. #20 a satellite dish that can rotate 360 degrees. That you can angle it in any direction from inside the van. WiFi is hard to get in some places outside USA., major cities. I have only seen this on overland trucks. Nice for free WiFi. #21 Short people do not mind the storage over driver/passenger seat area. Since most of the time while in driver /passenger seat area one is sitting down , I think we should have that storage platform for back pack or winter coats or something. #21 All terrain off road tires. 4 wheel drive. #22 Van should be higher off ground because sometimes one needs to go over a tree. The tree may be as big as a basketball. I don't like when muffler or something under van gets damaged. Especially that airconditioner under van. #23 ladder I am not sure that ladder has to be on back of van because of that motorcycle on back of van. So maybe ladder on side or front corner of van. #24. A hammock off of 80/20 rails off van somewhere.ñ I like the idea of swing on a hammaock that we do not need a tree. There are no trees on most beaches. # 25 If there is room I would put in a washing / dryer machine for clothes. I am not sure what size of inverter I would need for a machine. ??? #26 Mud flaps. I noticed that mud flap helps with snow. It also keeps one from getting charged with man slaughter. If u go over some road debris , it can act like a bullet to a motorcycle rider behind van. One time I drove over a piece of tire. It broke the window of car behind me. And it ended up inside her car. I had a legal cass like this. I am glad it didn't blind the lady. She was not following to close behind me. She was like 200 feet or more behind me. #27 I would have 2 separate water tanks. One for shower. One for kitchen sink. #-1 I forgot about tiolet. Since most people that use B-size vans do not use RV parks , I think we need not to have a black tank. Cassette tiolet or nature head tiolet . Beside there are counties that haveñ no RV parks. Most Gasoline station have no dump for black tank. It cost money to dump. In 20 years I only had to do #2 in van two times. Most of the time there is a public toilet. And I do have 1-2 bowel movements per day. I cannot think of what else should be in a van. I wish I had a water bed in van. But that may be to heavy. Companies that make B-Vans should remember recirculating shower and that someone 4 feet 9 inches tall can not reach a microwave at top of ceiling.. Also please stop making driver seat so high that some of us can not reach brakes. It is an accident waiting to happen when one has to use a cane to apply foot brakes. Thanks for asking me. I am just trying to be helpful. From Bambi Harzott bambiharzott@gmail.......
Please "Must See Tech" call it what it is......These are called Camper Vans not Class B Motor Homes. A Class B is more in line with a Realta or something larger then a standard cargo conversion VAN. Prices on these are outrageous.
The Mercedes really are made in Germany at MB factory. Each piece shipped over and assembled by dodge so dodge can put their ram logo on it. I have an ‘07 with diesel. NOT four drive is my only complaint. But I have to have that bathroom and galley kitchen.all leather , wood, and air ride seats. Still in great shape at 43k miles and the turbo just went out on me major problem there. Bought warranty but still. Paid 55k used. Only problem in 3 years, but costly, good thing for warranty’s. If you buy a used RV always get a warranty
You keep telling everyone it's European. The Promaster is made in Mexico. It's as European as tacos and tequila. Also the design is closer related to the Dodge Caravan than anything I've every seen from Europe.
Hi, Eric. Fiat Ducato is an European model produced in Italy, the ProMaster is its North American sibling, and it is indeed made in Mexico. Check out this wiki page: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Ducato
Hi, Steve. I said these were the cheapest Class B models on the market. I don't consider them affordable, I was actually surprised that these cost so much.
I think this was a great video. I’ve watched lots of videos. Each person buying an RV needs to make their own decision as to what they can spend and go from there. Your video was great for more information! Thank you!
I think it is wierd they are trying to sell them to low - end customers and still they bother putting a heavy as AC unit that makes the car more expensive to drive + you cant use it 99% of the time seens you don't hock your van up to camping places seens it is made to camp in the wild..makes no fk senes..
@@MustSeeTech Yes, or sky window. Solar system and lithium batteries is prio nr1 when it comes to camping vans/rv's. But manufacturers seems to not follow the trends or tech advances they still run Gas stoves and ACs in 2020..it seems what ever i end up buying ill have to spend half a year just modifying the electric system and fixing the roof cause they put a big hole in it to place an AC there.. They waste so much money on building stuff most people see as obsolete in 2000s.
@@MustSeeTech an other thing is the TV connections/antenna; most people are more bothered by getting better online connection, it is the internet they are get their entertainment..like youtube, Netflix and all other streaming services. Wifi booster would be better.

In the industry they still want to sell sort of a luxury dream filled with shits and giggles and turd enough to shine for a day... but really it's not the case... reality is that people diy istead buy because professionals offer no convenience in conversion. this is the sad truth about American market in this branch.

Thanks for your feedback! That makes sense.
I'm trying to decide between the Ford and the Promaster.
For that one time per year road trip, I will rent. Now when I retire and can take road trips more often, then I would buy.

Hi, wheelbase length and exterior length is not the same thing. Most of these are built on 159inch chassis and are under 20feet in exterior length.
@@MustSeeTech I'm trying to figure out if the chassis is from bumper to bumper, or carrgo area behind the driver seat to bumper.

Thanks for watching
Where is the orange one from the thumbnail?
Hi, Kimberly. It is #8, Adria Twin
It's hard to consider paying that kind of money on a depreciating asset. I can't get my head around it.
It depends. Many people I know are selling their older class Bs at break even or even a profit compared to what they bought it for. It’s a sellers market right now due to high demand. They won’t depreciate as much as a typical car, for sure. Especially if some improvements are made, a clean, well running/functioning class B can go up in value.
vicky agnew **At some point you have to spend the money too. Can’t take it with you when you leave 👍
Think of it like 10 years old travel and entertainment.
Love all
Thanks, Jeff!
Always try & pray can be real TH-camr with benefits💲, and buy / build motorhome like this one to make journey with TH-cam

Need a major improvement in photography and video taking so that we can view features properly.
How much cost
Hi. The prices are on the screen
I think all over prices
This video would have great info, but the narration is impossible to follow, due to the incorrect emphasis on syllables of words throughout. You either need a new screen reading program, or a new person to read it.
towing 3500 lb.S= not sufficient
The 1st one is 100k.
Turned it off after
Soooo basically a Promaster/Ducato.......
Definition of cheapest is "unreliable money pit."
Would you say so about all of these?
@@MustSeeTech
"Cheap" means compromising materials and/or engineering. No way around it
All of these models waist space with that sofa and table. Vans need more storage.
Hi. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! What are your must-haves in a campervan?
@@MustSeeTech the #1 thing in a van is a recirculating shower with no sink in shower. Shower walls should be straight & flat so after shower one can use a squeeze on walls to help water go down.
#2 a vent /fan on upper side of shower wall. Shower should have a flip bar to hang swim suit/ scuba diving suit.
#3 Vans need 1000 volts of solar panels. We need enough power to run TV & computer & refrigerator & microwave at same time. Maybe even a small oven. Everything should be able to runs 24 hrs with no electricity from camp grounds or someone's house. Of course I will never run microwave for more then 5 minutes. But I do not want to run out of power.
#4 8-10 lithium batteries with easy access to batteries. I would put batteries on a tray like some people put bikes on a pull out tray. I would wrap each battery with that electric heated pads for batteries. That way batteries can survive in cold snow winter weather , if one uses van to go skiing.
#5 air conditioner that works off the floor. That way it doesn't have hot sun beating on airconditioner. That way there is more room for solar panels. The dog and cat will like it when airconditioner comes on automatically when the temperature reaches 75 Fahrenheit. The dog would love to lay down near blowing cold air.
#6 A hitch /rack in the back of the van for a motorcycle carry ramp. I think that a motorcycles can tour cities with narrow street better than a van. Also save on gasoline/ diesel. I would always want my motorcycle with me. But I no longer drive motorcycles on snow. Having a motorcycle helps for when one runs out of gasoline / diesel. In some countries gasoline stations are to far apart. One will need a motorcycle to go get fuel.
#7 bicycles rack in front of van.
#8 I perfer a separate freezer. Separate refrigerator. Both must run 24 hrs. Refrigerator should always be placed where it is easy to remove from the van in case the refrigerator has to be serviced. It is helpful when refrigerator and freezer work off 12 volt /gas/ 210 volt as backup. The refrigerator that door opens from both sides is nice.
#9 a deep large kitchen sink with rotation large handle, that has a pull out nozzle. It is nice when sink is large enough to fit a 12 LB cat in sink. My cat loves to sleep in kitchen sink.
If the sink is placed near a door then the pull out nozzle should be long enough to go outside. I would put a fast Detachment on the faucet so I can hook up 30 feet hose. I could use flex hose to wash down mud off dog or boots. I could also use hose to fill van radiator if needed. In real life I needed that in my Ford van two times. Also wash mud off motorcycle .
#10 air compressor seat for driver. Like the 18 wheelers trucks. That way one can drive 10 hours without having blood in legs cut off. It helps to not fall asleep while driving . Plus seat should be confortable for someone that is 4 feet 9 inches tall and 6 feet 2 inches tall. Most driver seats in most vans are to tall !!! That cuts off the circulation and causes varicose veins.
If companies are going to continue making driver seat so tall then a large box is need on floor. I would extend the brake , clutch & gas peddles over the box on floor.
But easier to install air compresser seat. Makes it more confortable for bumpy rides.
#11 rotation driver/passenger seats. With a lagoon table in between the seats. This is easy to do.
#12 van needs a second alternator.
#13 then needs air compressor the fill up tires.
#14 A Large Garage storage under the bed.
#15. If u put bed on a elevator up/down system to make it easy to get to stuff from garage area.
#16 Screen door on sliding door so cat & dog can't escape. The dog and cat can get out with the screen net, not good.
Back doors need a screen on upper part by bed. And seperate screen door for under bed. It is nice to sleep with back doors open hanging over a mountain. But I don't want my cat or dog to go sky diving. I do not want flying bugs in van so it must have a screen or net
I wish they would make nets for driver/passenger window
#17 heated floors.
#18. Fan inside van to suck out food cooking smell or for air circulation while sleeping in 90 -110 degree Fahrenheit. I have done this many years . But if u have a dog/ cat must keep van 80 degrees Fahrenheit or less.
I noticed that most fan/vents are on roof of van. Why not put Van /Vent on side of van wall? Do they even make fans for side of vans. Boats have them out on oceans. And water doesn't get inside.
#19 I do not need this for parallel parking for I know how to parallel park an 18 wheeler.
#19. Camera on all 4 sides of van that can be monitored on TV inside van for security. Video should be able to Monitore on cell phone.
That way u can watch your van from inside a restaurant or building. This is when thieves like to break in ,when they watch you go inside the restaurant.
Also might be nice to have videos to prove an accident in the court of law.
This video is also good for TH-cam videos.
I don't understand why some people can not drive a 20-25 foot van.
I think the whole world needs to test drive people on large cars, Vans, in rain,in dark before giving out driver license. Test parallel parking from passenger side and driver side before issuing a driver's license. The test should be in dark.
This is why we have bad drivers on the road , they do not test them enough.
#20 a satellite dish that can rotate 360 degrees. That you can angle it in any direction from inside the van. WiFi is hard to get in some places outside USA., major cities.
I have only seen this on overland trucks. Nice for free WiFi.
#21 Short people do not mind the storage over driver/passenger seat area.
Since most of the time while in driver /passenger seat area one is sitting down , I think we should have that storage platform for back pack or winter coats or something.
#21 All terrain off road tires.
4 wheel drive.
#22 Van should be higher off ground because sometimes one needs to go over a tree. The tree may be as big as a basketball.
I don't like when muffler or something under van gets damaged. Especially that airconditioner under van.
#23 ladder I am not sure that ladder has to be on back of van because of that motorcycle on back of van. So maybe ladder on side or front corner of van.
#24. A hammock off of 80/20 rails off van somewhere.ñ
I like the idea of swing on a hammaock that we do not need a tree. There are no trees on most beaches.
# 25
If there is room I would put in a washing / dryer machine for clothes.
I am not sure what size of inverter I would need for a machine. ???
#26 Mud flaps.
I noticed that mud flap helps with snow. It also keeps one from getting charged with man slaughter.
If u go over some road debris , it can act like a bullet to a motorcycle rider behind van.
One time I drove over a piece of tire. It broke the window of car behind me. And it ended up inside her car.
I had a legal cass like this. I am glad it didn't blind the lady.
She was not following to close behind me. She was like 200 feet or more behind me.
#27 I would have 2 separate water tanks. One for shower. One for kitchen sink.
#-1
I forgot about tiolet. Since most people that use B-size vans do not use RV parks , I think we need not to have a black tank. Cassette tiolet or nature head tiolet .
Beside there are counties that haveñ no RV parks. Most Gasoline station have no dump for black tank. It cost money to dump.
In 20 years I only had to do #2 in van two times. Most of the time there is a public toilet. And I do have 1-2 bowel movements per day.
I cannot think of what else should be in a van. I wish I had a water bed in van. But that may be to heavy.
Companies that make B-Vans should remember recirculating shower and that someone 4 feet 9 inches tall can not reach a microwave at top of ceiling..
Also please stop making driver seat so high that some of us can not reach brakes.
It is an accident waiting to happen when one has to use a cane to apply foot brakes.
Thanks for asking me. I am just trying to be helpful.

Wow. You have all of the details worked out! Thanks for sharing! Btw, you mentioned that you have a Ford van. Is it a camper? Which one?
Please "Must See Tech" call it what it is......These are called Camper Vans not Class B Motor Homes. A Class B is more in line with a Realta or something larger then a standard cargo conversion VAN. Prices on these are outrageous.
All of these are labeled as Class B on the manufacturers websites and are generally considered Class Bs. As for the prices, I totally agree
You may want to consider MERCEDES, nobody in his right mind will spend 100k on a Dodge!
Thanks for the feedback!
The Mercedes really are made in Germany at MB factory. Each piece shipped over and assembled by dodge so dodge can put their ram logo on it. I have an ‘07 with diesel. NOT four drive is my only complaint. But I have to have that bathroom and galley kitchen.all leather , wood, and air ride seats. Still in great shape at 43k miles and the turbo just went out on me major problem there. Bought warranty but still. Paid 55k used. Only problem in 3 years, but costly, good thing for warranty’s. If you buy a used RV always get a warranty
2020 Porest.... Hello! 👋🏻
Hi, Brendan. Did you like any of the models?
You keep telling everyone it's European. The Promaster is made in Mexico. It's as European as tacos and tequila. Also the design is closer related to the Dodge Caravan than anything I've every seen from Europe.
Hi, Eric. Fiat Ducato is an European model produced in Italy, the ProMaster is its North American sibling, and it is indeed made in Mexico. Check out this wiki page: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Ducato
Tempted to stop watching when the very first one is 101k
100k? Crazy bad option imo.
Hello, Clyde. You are welcome to suggest cheaper alternatives, if you know any.
@@MustSeeTech I have seen custom cargo van conversions for about 10k
Did you do it yourself?
👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks for watching!
The 1st one he brings up is over 100k, this is hardly affordable. I can buy a house and land for less.
Hi, Steve. I said these were the cheapest Class B models on the market. I don't consider them affordable, I was actually surprised that these cost so much.
Feel free. We will know where to find you.
I think this was a great video. I’ve watched lots of videos. Each person buying an RV needs to make their own decision as to what they can spend and go from there. Your video was great for more information! Thank you!
✋ ..........
I thought it said cheapest
Hi, Joshua. These were the cheapest models I could find. I was surprised to see these prices myself 🤨
I think it is wierd they are trying to sell them to low - end customers and still they bother putting a heavy as AC unit that makes the car more expensive to drive + you cant use it 99% of the time seens you don't hock your van up to camping places seens it is made to camp in the wild..makes no fk senes..
Would you rather have a simpler fan system?
@@MustSeeTech Yes, or sky window. Solar system and lithium batteries is prio nr1 when it comes to camping vans/rv's. But manufacturers seems to not follow the trends or tech advances they still run Gas stoves and ACs in 2020..it seems what ever i end up buying ill have to spend half a year just modifying the electric system and fixing the roof cause they put a big hole in it to place an AC there..
They waste so much money on building stuff most people see as obsolete in 2000s.
@@MustSeeTech an other thing is the TV connections/antenna; most people are more bothered by getting better online connection, it is the internet they are get their entertainment..like youtube, Netflix and all other streaming services.
Wifi booster would be better.
👍
You sound so cute ❤️
Thanks, Bonnie 😊
Guess I just stay with my 2000 GMC Safari... for $2500. I can fix it up to love in for me and hopefully an occasional girlfriend. 🙂
😂 that is a valid option as well
Lame, just a random dude reading the marketing materials.
He's just giving people a general idea, so they can search further. Take a pill, pillmaster.
Is it just me, but the pop up roof looks pretty stupid

The Voice over is obnoxious! What were you thinking!
It is just how my voice sounds 🤦♂️
@@MustSeeTech It sounds like a synthesized, silicon valley voice...... if you want to take credit for it, Valley boy, go ahead. I'm certainly not going camping with you, anytime soon! :)
100k isnt anything that can be related to cheap
Can't understand the descriptions. Get a real commenter.
Just turn on subtitles
most of these are 6 mo.s out. nobody is using motels.
This was it. 34900euro base + 13~14000euro 4x4 transmission optional

It's a shame American market is so damn hell empty of practical and affordable well made mass produced vans.
In the industry they still want to sell sort of a luxury dream filled with shits and giggles and turd enough to shine for a day...
but really it's not the case... reality is that people diy istead buy because professionals offer no convenience in conversion. this is the sad truth about American market in this branch.
I can't understand what he's saying.
Hi,Greg. Feel free to turn on subtitles!
Nissan makes a camper van for 34 thousand.
It is going to be smaller than these, and 34k is a starting price if you do the conversion yourself.
At 95,000$. These are not the cheapest at all!
Hi, Stefania. These were the cheapest Class B models I could find. If you know cheaper ones, I am open to suggestions!
Please use real voices not electronic
Hi, Brenda. I already do. I narrated all of the videos on this channel myself
Is this a real person narrating this?
Of course.
100k is not cheap
It is definitely not affordable, but compared to other models on the market, these are cheapest on sale.
