Wow! What a perfect video! You explained everything so nicely and clearly I've looked at 10 or 15 other ones and you went through and absolutely perfectly described to the companies to hire you as their spokesperson. Thank you!
Those second row seats look incredibly uncomfortable. Those electronic panels are scattered all over, kinda crazy, and where the F is the microwave??? Did I miss it? Nice review. Finally a sales person that knows his product. Impressed, well done.
Thanks!! I didn’t show it, but those back seats separate a few inches to give you some extra elbow room. The plethora of panels definitely took some getting used to for me, but once you understand what they are all for, it’s pretty straightforward!
They are identical to the models that were released in 2022! I’ll see what I can find out about the air compressor for you. - Jon Link @ Apache Village RV Center
Love this unit, just wish it had a microwave. And some upper cabinets in the back for clothing storage would be a better usage of the vertical space since most people dont need the bed to go all the way to the ceiling. Plus when the beds all the way to the ceiling cant really use the air conditioning. A tv would be nice, but not a dealbreaker since probably would just use a tablet these days.
It is such a neat set up! Believe it or not, the air conditioning works very well with the bed all the way up. There is a gap that allows the airflow to move to the cabin. - Jon Link @ Apache Village RV Center
Look what a huge gap between the hood and fender at :20 second mark. That's from someone pulling down on the hood while the prop rod was in place to hold the hood open. I've seen dozens of these van with a bent hinge on the pass side because of this mistake.
We want a van that can allow us to use air-con on batteries and warm on chassis fuel. It needs to be 20 feet or shorter so we can park at a ski resort parking lot. We prefer a cassette toilet because we can use it on a snowy day. We also like to have a rooftop lounge so we can do yoga. Finding a flat surface for yoga during boondock or snow is hard. We like the 17' van with Volta lithium batteries. My friends and I can pay cash for the RV.
I know you can get a Sportsmobile with one of those cool expandable roofs, which Jayco does not offer! However, does the Sportsmobile have a 48V lithium battery system that can run an air conditioner for eight hours?
Good eye! The floorplan and chassis are identical! Outside of that they couldn’t possibly be more different. The Jayco outperforms the Revel across-the-board on standard equipment, fit and finish, and the capabilities of the Lithium technology on board. This unit is built in the Entegra plant and shares the same fit and finish of the upscale Entegra. We have our demo model priced at $142,500. - Jon @ Apache
The floorplan and the exterior are strikingly similar, and I think the Jayco engineers would be the first to admit that. There’s only so much you can do in a small space when it comes to a foorplan. Technologically and fit and finish-wise they couldn’t be more different! The Jayco knocks it out of the park. I can send you some comparison information if you’re interested! - Jon @ Apache
It is very similar if you glance at it. It’s the standard technology on board that elevates the Terrain head and shoulders about the competition. - Jon Link @ Apache Village
@@apachevillagervcenter That's fine, just like a microwave. I know not everyone feels the same though. But for the money you would think it would be standard.
@@TheFirstMikeJones It’s a floorplan design by Winnebago that works. Jayco took that design, made it better, upgraded the fit/finish, and made it more technologically advanced across the board!
@@apachevillagervcenter The heating system and water heating system does in fact use the diesel fuel from the main fuel tank. Notice the exhaust vent tube on the driver's side.
Absolutely! We have tons of choices of Class A coaches at the dealership that have stackable washer/dryers or combination washer/dryer units. - Jon Link @ Apache Village RV Center
If you are looking for a class b van there are some washer manufacturers that make a small unit for about $200. They only spin dry your clothes, but it's better than going to a laundromat. They are available on Amazon.
This particular unit is sold but I have another one an order that should be here in a month or so! I still have time to change the exterior color we ordered if you are interested. Give us a call and ask for me at 314-895-4567! - Jon Link @ Apache Village RV Center
Not full time all wheel drive, you have to shift it into four-wheel-drive. Let me know if you have any other questions! - Jon Link @ Apache Village RV Center
The 2023 Sprinter is AWD but these chassis are 2022s ordered by Jayco (& Winnebago) for their 2023 production. The 2024s will be built on the 2023 Sprinters AWD & 4 cyl turbo diesels.
@@brownbuter I hear ya. This Mercedes 3.0L V6 power plant has been around for a very long time and is trusted all over the world! I think it’s worth giving it a shot. It gets great gas mileage as well! - Jon @ Apache Village
Nice rig but, very few buy class B for more than 2 people. Soooooooooooooooooo get rid of that stupid back seat x 2 and put in a larger fridge off the floor in that space!!!

You are very welcome! What unit would you like to see reviewed next? - Jon Link @ Apache Village
wow. Finally (?) a Jayco that isn't a Ford engine! This is a fancy Class B and I love it.
It is VERY nice and exemplifies the typical attention to detail Jayco is famous for! - Jon Link @Apache Village RV Center

Thank you for a well done walk thru , I am very interested in this Rig because of the 4x4 capabilities.
We have one in stock in Sandstone! - Jon @ Apache Village
The 110v power outlet in the rear is just under the water horse. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. Otherwise, it seems to be an improved version of Revel.
I’ll give my contacts at Jayco this feedback! - Jon Link @ Apache Village

What is d brand of that 2nd row seats that can recline and also move apart. First time i have seen seats that slide apart. Thanks
They are built by Jayco!
what size is the bed when it's lowered?
thanks
49” x 79” - Jon Link @ Apache Village RV Center
@@apachevillagervcenter got it, thanks
In bear country best pack a portable electric bear fence. A compact 2.4 Ibs for huge peace of mind.
🐻
IMO the Jayco Terrain looks far better than a Revel.
We humbly share that opinion… Better on paper and in person! 👍👍 - Jon @ Apache Village
where is the air compressor switch in the cab?
To the left of the steering wheel on the dash! - Jon @ Apache

@@jasonlucas2328 this unit has you covered on everything you mentioned, minus the rooftop lounge!
Wonder how they compare to Sportsmobile sprinters?

Like to know the cost and availability.
We have one at Apache Village right now listed at $169,734. Come take a look and ask for me! - Jon Link @ Apache Village RV Center
What is the area of the garage? That is the length and width of the floor in the garage area?
I’m happy to measure it for you! Call the dealership at 314-895-4567 and ask for Jon Link
I'd guess at 4 long, 4.5 wide just by looking at mine. It does hold a lot of stuff though.
looks really really similar to the Winnebago Revel. Wonder how its priced.

@@apachevillagervcenter can the cassette toilet be removed and be replaced with a composting or dry flush?
@@jaytabac6525 as long as it fits in the same space!
@@apachevillagervcenter Hi, nice detailed video. Would you say the same about the new 2025 Revel with its upgrades? Is the Terrain still superior?
Looks just like the Winnebago version...

@@apachevillagervcenter Microwave?
@@dpl2617 Nope! It has an induction stove top.
@@apachevillagervcenter That's fine, just like a microwave. I know not everyone feels the same though. But for the money you would think it would be standard.
This is basically a Winnebago Revel , but is it cheaper ?
The technology on board and the lithium battery system beats the Revel hands-down!
Agree BUT much better quality and design IMO.
Yep, Jayco probably has a dismantled revel in their shop.
@@TheFirstMikeJones It’s a floorplan design by Winnebago that works. Jayco took that design, made it better, upgraded the fit/finish, and made it more technologically advanced across the board!
@@apachevillagervcenter agreed. Very much so. I have the entegra version of this and love it.
How big is that fold out table?
Not tremendously large. I’ll measure it for you when I’m back at work tomorrow! 18”x28” or so would be my guess. - Jon @ Apache
@@apachevillagervcenter Thanks!
Does the water heater and furnace run off diesel?
No, it’s electric! It’s a Hydronic heating system. - Jon @ Apache

@@apachevillagervcenter Did you find the inline water filter?
Is this still available?

No sink in the bathroom? Why not?
It's a VERY tight space! When I took this coach out for a week or so, I used the shower for fishing gear storage. - Jon @ Apache
Is it litium volar?
I said "Lithium Ion" in the video, but it is actually LiFePO 4. Thanks!! - Jon @ Apache Village
What’s the rent per day ?
Unfortunately, we only sell them! We do not rent RV's.
It’s a winner but it needed a microwave and tv. Others like that figured it out.
If your in the market for a van like this I would guess that your trying to get away from TV’s and microwave dinners.
It would be easy to plug both items in on the interior! - Jon @ Apache Village RV Center
how much?
$231,375 MSRP*
*MSRP shown in USD. Doesn’t include freight and dealer prep charges - Jon Link @ Apache Village RV Center
During the interior part of the walk thru there was a price sign hanging from the cabinet. Who in their right mind would pay MSRP?
@@jitterygoat49r 👏👏👏 You understand how it works! We had this unit discounted to $176k on our lot and $169k at the RV Show.
Is there an MSRP you can announce

2023 AWD?
Not full time all wheel drive, you have to shift it into four-wheel-drive. Let me know if you have any other questions! - Jon Link @ Apache Village RV Center
4x4 so not awd like the transit chassis. There is a cheaper 2x4 version called the LE.

So Jayco copied the Winnebago Revel??
Copied the floorplan and made it better from literally every technological perspective. 😉
one thing I'm not a fan of is that dam diesel.
Diesel in general or this particular Mercedes engine? - Jon @ Apache Village
