🚐 ABOUT 🚐
My name is Scott. I live in and work a corporate job full-time from my 2019 Winnebago Travato GL, a 21’ Class B RV camper van with my cat, Luke. I share stories of PEOPLE, PLACES, and the RV LIFESTYLE & VANLIFE in my Travato as we roam around North America. My goal is to inspire others to more quickly achieve their travel dreams!
I wish you to… LIVE HAPPY 😃 | LIVE FREE 🇺🇸 | LIVE RV 🚐
This floor plan is superior to the new plan. It’s ability to sleep 4 is unsurpassed. Best floor plan ever built. With lithium this is a great buy.
Well said!
You beat me to it! I was creating a used RV video and then got sidetracked with other projects and then the lockdown happened and I've been overly busy with work!
I know.... excuses excuses!
My video is more generic... just comparing an average sale price for used RVs for different years... still may do it we'll see!
Love your views on devaluation vs. amount of fun and experiences you can have!
Lily is well worth the cost!
Be seeing you!
Look forward to seeing yours..
Aloha from Maui. Been shopping for a rig to tour Florida for 6 months now. Winnebago Travato 59GL has my eye. Even at 6'2 it seems like a prefect fit for a solo traveler. Boondocking beachside is the goal. Gonna hit every boardwalk possible with my beach cruiser. Keep up the great videos, I've really enjoyed them.
Right on Robby! Excited for your RV #vanlife in the “other paradise” that is endless summer Florida
Great video tour of your rig. Getting a vehicle loaded is always the best way to go IMO. Enjoy all the options available, instead of buying and realizing later, man...I wish I had sprung for this or that. Life is short. Enjoy what you can while we are here.
Totally with your line of thinking Juve. Thanks for watching the vids, taking time to comment and for being a subscriber
Asking vs selling are two different things. They know they’re not going to get the asking price. I totally agree with you about the cool options and extras you’ve done. Wish I could convince my partner that we could use and enjoy a rig like yours.
Thanks for sharing!! I do RV Couple counseling at very reasonable rates :) Everyone gets what they want ;)
Your options makes the difference
Scott, to be honest, I think you would be lucky to get $75k with the 44k miles you have on yours. Just my honest thoughts. Take care....
Thx Crispy. Appreciate Your thoughts. Fortunately at this time we will never know as Lily is not for sale!!
Prices at an RV dealer for a used vehicle includes an abundance of overhead, which should be a consideration in the selling price comparison. Of course you can ask for any price.
Thx Deborah
Invested😅subbed. my fav model yet. Looking to get one my self. Same year make and trim.
Thanks for the sub!
Great rig. Don't mind buying used depending on mileage and care.
Truth
Scott, I have been a fan of your videos on TH-cam since the start and thanks for the walk through explaining all features and benefits. EXCITING NEWS for me as I fly from north Florida to Spokane, WA this Friday, May 15 to purchase a used Pleasure Way Lexor FL 2018 year model. I am not taking delivery right away and plan to pick in next six months. Jounrey on and glad that you are not selling.
so excited for you!
Awesome video. I wish the revel had that bug screen. That’s my favorite feature.
Not selling ;)
I know you are not thinking of selling but this was an interesting video and it's good to see what YOU think it would be worth. I would guess a 2019 Travato 59GL with > 45,000 miles would realistically sell for between $83-86K in a private party sale. There are a number of listings for them with only 5-7K miles and what people list them for is not what they actually sell for. (There is such a thing as depreciation in RV's!! ). The Travato seems to do a bit better because they are so popular.
you nailed it. Appreciate your comments :)
OK, love the plants it makes your life better with something green around you. Great video...stay thirsty my friend
Bill !! Thank you sir. always thirsty here.
Love your Travato 59GL show! From Downey, CA.
Hello Downey CA
I love your van … and that shirt is also awesome!
thanks Rex for your fashion thumb up !
Hot spouse??? You're killing me! You also kind of breezed through what upgrades were done that are different from the basic unit during the tour.
Great video .. enjoyed the story .. keep uploading !!!
More to come!
Hey Scott...great informative video as usual. Please do a video on RV Insurance for full time living and driving!!! Thanks
I think the timing of selling is big
Great at a year to three but If you wait too many years I would think you would lose a lot
What do you think of that?
I agree if you just use for a few years and then recoup investment it is a great deal
It would be interesting to go to the NADA and Kelly Blue Book site to see what they say. Asking price is different than actual selling price. Class b definitely hold their value better than any other type of RV.
Scott- what price do you think you would pay for a used 2019-21 GL in todays market with 30k or less miles?
Or would what model class b would catch your eye now if you didn’t want to buy used?
So I've been binging you TH-cam videos... well done! It would be great if you'd do a video covering the Pure3 and/or generator options.
Hi RP. Did you see the Volta replay video? Great info in there by the manufacturer. th-cam.com/video/-GdD-Kz5mLQ/w-d-xo.html
Great detailed video. Travel on Lilly 😎
Thank you 🤗
It has held its value well.
agree with you
Interesting...Thank you..Have a blessed day..
Thx for watching the vids, taking time to comment, and for subscribing Gail
My 2017 Travato was 86k. Last week the dealership offered me 60k to buy it back. I would never sell my van but that seems pretty good
Interesting number! Thx for sharing
Hi just so Awesome love it. Used fixup lol but true Love your Rv.
Thank you!!
Great RV only detracted by the tank capacities if you want to mainly boondock.
Truth.
Great video, Scott! I’m here in Vancouver, doing lots of research as to which way to go; truck camper, travel trailer, or Class B van. For the Class B, it’s a toss up between the Hymer Aktiv 1.0 or the Travato 59GL. I rented a van conversion for 4 days in Tofino, I had a blast. I’m leaning on going all in with the Travato 59GL, a used one. There is a G available but I think the GL is much better. All that said, I’ve been taking in your videos, they’ve been a great help... plus an inspiration towards full timing. Keep up the fun work! 😊
Robbie Morrison: Scott is primarily responsible for our decision to buy the Travato 59 GL with all his amazing videos and website info. We have A 32’ Grand Design trailer that we are selling and did love utilizing but now want a more nimble way to travel and higher boon-dock abilities. Scott is amazing with how generous he is with information and transparency; just a great overall human.
Glad you’re keeping her!
Thank you R Mack :)
GREAT VIDEO - THANKS
Glad it was helpful!
Oh wow....you're thinking about a paint job!
Wrapping the van, not painting.
So funny, I just hit the road for a year, but I live in the neighborhood, floral park, right where The Anchor Inn is.
Congrats on being on the road !! If you are in the Anchor Inn area next a weekend would be great to have you join the Meetup! Anchor Inn is hopping these days. They put tables in the grass next to lake shore because we can’t be in the bar
Scoot love the channel
44k miles! I haven't watched you channel in a while! You have been busy! You really have to look at the sticker sheet to see what options came on the unit. And I never believe a dealer price on the internet. And even an individual owner. The owner always thinks their van is more expensive than it is worth.
Price is only what the market will pay.. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment Jay. Welcome back sir.
I think someone would pay 85-90K for your van. Personally I think the cost of class B vans is out of control. Not a chance in hell I would pay that much for a camper.
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment!
Thank you very much. I am interested in this RV. I am preparing to fully retire. I am thinking about the exploring the states next year year.
You will likely wonder what took you so long to go exploring. I am excited for you!
So far your rig is my favorite, I will be wanting to do boon docking and will be using the air conditioner a lot, I have a cat and a pug, , the pug is very hot natured so she will want the air, , what do you think, is this the right rv for me as far as the air conditioning goes, the rest of the set up is great
Sounds like you really love your pets. That is great. A/C is critical to their and your comfort. If you are Boondocking and require A/C the Volta Pure3 lithium-ion is super important. That said I find that Boondocking in very high heat comfort is achieved by staying the shade and plugging into shore-power. Some will disagree, but running Charge On Demand cycles I have found may not keep up if your running the rooftop A/C 24/7 for days on end. Move to more temperate location or plunge in for shore- power to keep you and your critters cool.
Go Small. Live Large! Ty for you time I appreciate this from a animal lover as yourself
I'd certainly buy one if the cost of importing it to Ireland wouldn't cripple me financially !!
IRELAND! Thx Victor :)
Why?
nice driveway pavers!
Glad you like them!
thanks again for another great video. Im trying to sell my travel trailer - with many upgrades - and the dealer is challenged trying to figure out a price. I will look at your suggestions. I want a travato np.
About to pull the trigger on a 2019 59G 40,000mile. The lowest price I found in the country was 89,500 and I jumped on it w deposit. Should be the owner on Friday. This is tricked out pretty good w add ons. Not those awesome windows though. The owner kept the window sticker, it was 122,000 new. Hope I am a happy with it. I have a collapsible kayak that fits in a bag, hoping I can get that on the roof rack easily. Is there room for stuff up there w the solar panels and AC unit?
Whoa Pamela… hope things worked out and you hav your new to you Travato 59G!!
Enjoyed seeing inside this rig...not quite settled on what type of rig Hubs & I + lg. dog will get. I did notice you missed the overcab area, it looks too small for sleeping so how heavy of cargo can it hold? Or what is it supposed to be?
Over cab not large enough to sleep. In mine that space holds the extra cushion for the dinette puzzle bed primarily. Plus couple of blankets and a tripod.
Excellent as always...Could you please tell me where you had the black wrap installed..Cost? I too live in Florida...I am in the Orlando area.
Black wrap on fenders was installed in Spokane WA. Total wrap was done in Wellington FL by CRD Wraps. Talk to owner Chuck about your ideas
What was the cost? Thanks.....
I guess it’s worth about 80k. Thanks for sharing the info 👍
No problem 👍
Oh yee of great measure...what are the dimensions below galley sink and in cabinets above? I am renting one soon and want to get some shelves. Thanks for all!
Never have measured those :(
Same Hymer this age about 40-50grand in Germany
Germany 🇩🇪!!
Euro or USD?
Great video and even greater insights as to how to configure the pricing on a class B. I have narrowed my search down to Leisure or the Winnebago Travato. Leisure is missing the lithium and solar, so I am leaning more and more to the Travato, although I love the inside of the Leisure Wonder. Thank you so much. Bin a great help!
I’m excited for your journey. Both rigs have pros and cons. Determine your needs carefully. Let me know how I/we (GSLL Community) can lend a hand).
Just found your channel. Liking it so far. Not sure I agree with coming up with a private party value based on Dealership (high) asking prices. Really doesn't give a good picture of what they are actually selling for private party. But ya, I understand you aren't selling and it's just a video.
thanks for discovering us at GSLL Win. You are right that is was an illustaration to a results. All should do there own research.
Great video… Scott I would love to meey you sometime in my own class B do you still do it full-time?
Would be fun to meetup Lori. Yes!! Full-time Travato 2.0 2020 has began again! So great to be on the road seeing, tasting, and going small to live large again!
What kind of adhesive do you use for your stickers to make them easy to come off?
Hi Kim. Love your question so much I'm going to make a video on the topic. I use Command Hooks, Velcro, and 3M Mounting Putty to fix things to walls and tables/counters.
You can find new Thor Tellaro’s for $82,000....
thank you for that info, Cyasi
I like those running boards! I want to replace mine with those too.
These vans are expensive. I would never pay it so it’s likely I won’t be a RV’er. I thought you might have tips to find a good deal.
New Class B RVs are expensive because the start with an expense fully functioning van THEN the buildout begins. Can do a DIY van or purchase used. The Travato holds it’s value pretty well
Scot this is Restie what is your plan now to get the new rigs?
the plan is to give the old rig a new look. Search instagram for Go Small Live Large for a sneak peek
Scott, is there anything you can do to secure the back cushion on the seat by the sliding door?
Yes... it would take a modification to install a back rest / grab handle combo. I have that on my list. Until then i tuck the end of the jump seat cushion between the wall and passenger seat. Stays put quite nicely. TH-camr, The Ginger Walkabout, did a custom backrest. Check out her video
@@gosmall.livelarge thanks. I really enjoy your videos. I have a Navion and I am getting ready to buy either a GL or KL.
@@johnadamson9638 thx for that. Excited for your Travato journey to continue
You're pure awesome
Thx Dave.. appreciate that pat on the back, sir
I’m looking for a travato 59g 2015-18 preown lel me know thanks
RVTrader.com will be a good resource for your. Excited for your search
18 gallon water tank ? That’s the only thing that kills it .
Yeah, give me more tank capacity and the "expense" of storing crap I probably don't need.
Exactly. 18 gallons only makes sense with a recirculating shower.
Can you get Internet WiFi everywhere you go?🤔
Cellular coverage has been amazing overall with only a few places where service has not been great. WiFi and cellular is a RV resource that needs to be managed just like the other resources (water, waste, power). Hopefully you are subscriber! Thanks for watching and taking time to comment Junior
IF Lily was for sale, no question I would purchase. she is not so if she was just sitting in a lot for a year no, new, no too much cash. 44K miles again only if I knew it was lily, anything other than lily, at 44K too much for the miles.
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment Mary
Nice job! Cheers!!!
Thanks!
Why are you selling? What will you get next?
Not selling Greg. Just showing the resale comparison. Love my Travato GL.
$80K would be top Dollar.
Initially I didn't understand your math. You paid 109,000 all in. What's your resale value after a year of ownership? You were all over the map with your estimates from stating "you would take no less than $80,000" to stating your rig was " certainly worth $90,000 to $95,000"? . $95,000 subtracted from $108,000 is not $10,000..
Let's say you could sell your rig for $95,000 That's $13,000 less than you paidfor your rig or approximately $1,000 a month depreciation if you've owned your rig for 13 months.
$13,000 though is not the cost of a year long vacation (for 13 months) as you implied because that's not your "all in" costs You've forgotten to add in all of your living expenses, and travel costs.
I would say those costs would have to exceed $1,000 a month.
I live in South Florida in a modest 2 bedroom condo. My all in costs ( and I mean all in costs of living) are spproximately $2000 a month .
In the end I would say my costs are roughly the same as what you have experienced owning your class b RV for a year +
The real question for many is "do I want to live in an RV or just occasionally vacation in one"?. The answer for most people is "occasionally vacation in one".
Great points. Thx for your thoughtful comments
The smart comment above deserves an extended answer. Your video did not help me understand. U needed to present tools available online so that we have a better undestanding of selling price point. It is standard in the vehicle price warfare that 80% of options chosen when brand new will not add to the resale price of a used vehicle. Having said that , it is easier to sell a vehicle with added options than... please redo this video with more related analysis, such as a difference in price current brand new vrs used 2 years old. There should be a Delta in favor of the used vehicle otherwise we will buy brand new all the way all the time.
A lot of the price assumptions may be challenged in the bad market. We have lived through the longest expansion that allowed many people to afford these $100k+ RVs. If the market turns (and it very well may during pandemic), there RVs may lose half their value in few months. With the country closed, traveling discouraged, most parks closed and many people getting laid off or lose their savings what do you think will be the price for these RVs in the used market? And if, god forbid, RV dealerships or RV manufacturers are going bankrupt, it may remove any floor from the price of these units.
On the other hand, you might consider them more affordable housing.
That is define;ty one point of view. Based upon audience discussions and talking with folks in the RV industry things are looking good at this time. I for one am pushing through on making my dreams come true and helping others do the same. No cowering in fear here. Being realistic yes, but the journey must goes on! Thx for watching and taking time to comment !
LMAO! In the U.S., the 2020 Ram ProMaster represents a line of vans sold elsewhere under the Citroën and Peugeot brands. Those brands are know for being unreliable.
Thx Rick for comment
You scared me. ❤️
Whew! LOL
I would buy yours.
Thx Jeff. I will reach out when it is time to sell
You scared me!!
LOL :) sorry about that ;)
Great video! Love the wrap color. Do you know how much the Travato can tow? Also, do you think it would be feasible/cheaper to buy a used G then pay for the upgrades? Thanks and stay safe!🙏🏾😊🚐
I believe it can tow 3500 lbs.
I think Lynn below is correct. Not sure which upgrades you refer to?
So funny, I just hit the road for a year, but I live in the neighborhood, floral park, right where The Anchor Inn is.
ANCHOR INN!!!
