Yes! Would be great to see the Panoramic class B come to the US market. WIth the Hymer uncertainties still be worked out, we need another coach with a front lounge area for working and whatever. Also, make it affordable, under 100k would be nice. Thanks Neil.
RV companies does a favor to potential customers with Chris’s Ultramobility reviews. His coverage of the product in details is exceptional. Camera angles, details and tips. Just perfect.
Really great idea to get these CEOs and company owners to do these interviews. Hope the trend continues. You seem to be the only one getting putting these videos out. Very smart. Cheers! 😉
Many thanks Frank. I am trying so hard to bring valuable and unique content to my channel. Stuff that you won't find on other RV channels. My stipulation with the CEO is that they give me at least 1.5 hours of their time AND they cannot know my questions ahead of time. No prepping.
Ultramobility I agree with Frank. This really adds a lot to the usual list of tank capacities, cubic feet and wattage. One request, and this is not a complaint - just a suggestion, put out the review first, before the interview (you could even tease the interview in the review), that way people would have a better context for your questions and also not fill the comments with “When is the review coming?” 🙄. I will prob need to rewatch this after the review. I really want to commend you, though, on providing much better actionable info through things like your interviews and comparisons 👍
Well builted machine.I bought one two months ago. My wife and I just love it. Congrats to Philippe and his team. Très bonne construction.Je m'en suis procuré un deux mois passé. Ma femme et moi l'aimons bien. Bravo a Philippe et son équipe.
I knew nothing about Panoramic till now and they are literally 2 hours from my house! Very interesting. We’ll be keeping an eye on them for the future and when friends ask for recommendations. Great interview. Thank you Neil!
Thank you Denise! I love their quality and that it is a family run business. Phil comes from mass vehicle manufacturing so he knows a thing or two about building vehicles and then importing them into the US market. I have full confidence that he's doing the right things to bring the Panoramic to the US in 2020. Very excited to see them here. thanks for watching! If I'm back in Montreal I'll send a shoutout for an MTL meetup!
These are great interviews, Neil! I'm really enjoying your questions and the CEO's seem to reveal their company's design challenges and goals authentically. And I can't wait to see the full review... Thank you!
I know them, they were in Joliette area befor moving to their existing place. Also an another one near Terrebonne, Gala RV who is an other high quality class B rv, Quebec is in the run now. Tks Neil and see you next time.
Quebec has more quality class B manufacturers in it than anywhere else in Canada. It is amazing: Gala, Panoramic, Safari, Mars 5, New West. All great coach manufacturers building quality coaches. Must be something in the air of la belle province!
Ultramobility I think it’s a Labour issue, when everybody had vans, Ford, Dodge,,GM, theynwerevALL BUILT IN CANADA!, love your very informative videos Neil, thanks, and Cheers, from NJ
This was excellent on several counts. First, always interesting to hear what the Canadians are doing, especially since LTV and PW are such outstanding products. Second, the emphasis on insulation and seamlessness; i.e., quiet comfort, is a priority of my own, as well as those willing to spend what the above two command. Now, I have to go to the Panorama Website and check out more graphics and warranty info. And where else in the US we may be able to view/tour one. Again, thank you Neil for more in-depth information. Looking forward to more!
Hi Neil, great to see you online again. I really like the Panoramic and I am about to order one. It will not be ready till next year 2021. But I did not see your video about your factory tour of their facility, and I was wondering if you have any thoughts in retrospect about Panoramic RV since this video was made. There is a part of me that would consider an alternative like the new Solis or Travato 59GL, or the Pleasure Way Lexor, they would be available before the end of the year, and offer similar floor plans.
Hi Neil 👋. Are you planning on a mini then full review of this van? I have a interest in seeing if everything is about build quality or if there are some innovations. I just went to the website and it’s a little sparse. Only one distributor in Quebec? And no mention of warranty that I found. We do need these manufacturers to push the build quality upwards toward European standards/designs. Thanks for the intro 👍
straight to full review as i kind of did a mini when i talked about it in my RVX video. they are just building out their dealer network. english version of their site coming friday maybe? their warranty is 5 years.
Ultramobility I was going to ask whether you or I had to do the translations. Lol. They are so interesting that they called you a “her” when they showed your thumbnail...🙃
Ultramobility Hi Neil. I contacted a distributor for the Panoramic in Quebec asking for the details in English on a 2018 unit they have. My very rusty French cannot translate RV specific language. No word back. I am interesting in the truma combi system if it provides heating through a hot water system thereby reducing possible propane fumes and loud fan noise in the rig. I have seen these in the Euro mkt for ages. When are you expecting to post the full review? Pics on their website are somewhat limited esp for the washroom and nothing about outside fittings. Looks like a toaster oven? But “old fashioned” two burner hob in the galley.
thank you so much @Samuel Colt I appreciate hearing that. i enjoy making quality videos with useful information for my audience. it gives me purpose :-)
I used to have a pop up camper that I towed behind my Honda ST1300. One year I went to the American River just east of Sacramento for a little rafting. On the way home I stayed I Cedar City near this park. I ha e to say the city camping park is a great place to stay. Cedar City is close to Zion, Bryce and the Grsns Canyon great city, the downtown has great eating. Recommended
Looking forward to see this RV in person. So far I have two models that top my list. Winnebago Travato 59GL and The Panoramic. So far the Winnebago appeals to me because of the electrical system as I am planning to live in the RV Full time. However the water tanks sizes and the design of the Panoramic are fantastic. A very capable lithium electrical system and No LP Generator will place your model on top of everyone else in the US
My favorite! The only gripes-I’d prefer to be propane-free (would pay for Lithium gladly) and why the 3-way refrigerator? When 12 volts are so good. With their passion for quality, I’d love to know why they picked that fridge. But overall, I agree. It’s a gorgeous van!
Nice, very nice, and built on a RAM chassis too - for those who eschew diesel. About black tanks and long bookdocking - is it not true that more boondockers are going with cassette toilet and composting toilets to extend their boondocking time? Extreme boondockers also have shovels and know how to correctly bury the waste.
Red Rock! 10 minutes from our old home base before moving to Florida last year. If you go to Vegas, make sure you do Red Rock! Hiking is great. The rain is really an anomaly. Why is it that the quality of the Canadian manufacturers are so good?
It is a beautiful park. beautiful setting. perfect for an RV backdrop. I'm not sure why the quality of many Canadian RV manufacturers is so high. We have quality manufacturers here in the states but a higher percentage of Canadian RV manufacturers do appear to build higher quality coaches. It could be there's less of an appetite from Canadians for less quality or it could be sometime cultural or maybe an angle to get into the US market? It's a good question.
WOW!! Great!! Went to the website and saw they offer many options. I only wish they offered lithium, as one AGM is not sufficient and I rather have 1 lithium compared to 2 AGMs. And it's gas powered!! Love it.
@@Ultramobility not what is on website. 2 AGM is an option, 1AGM is standard. I would hope this is not the case but that is what is listed on their website.
This camper van looks very interesting. I looked up the specifications on the company site and am unclear about the width of the van. 2.59 meters is probably a mistake.
Wow looks fantastic! Any idea what’s the length? I’m assuming they are located in Canada? Possible to import one if so? I’ll google it to see if they have a website want to see more!
Thanks for this video, Neil. I’ve been waiting to learn more about the Panoramic. From my email contact with them, they are definitely interested in selling here in the U.S. Love his French/Canadian accent!
I didn't really care for your 360 videos, but this edited video is a nice use of that technology. It turns a one man operation into a multi-camera like interview team!
I think there's a huge untapped market for actual quality builds in all RVs. With Hymer gone, right now Pleasure-Way stands alone at the top of the market. Maybe Coach House? But I have to go to FL to see a Coach House. I certainly hope Panoramic moves into the U.S. market. As more and more people become aware of the importance of build and quality, I think the top quality dealers will start to pull the lower quality ones up, like we are seeing with the Winnebago Boldt.
I agree completely. I can tell you that the build quality of the Panoramic is every bit as high as a Pleasureway. It was solid, quiet, drove great, not a single squeak or rattle. This is the first Canadian company outside of LTV and PW that has demonstrated to me that they are serious about coming into the US market. I believe we will see the Panoramic here in the US in 2020 and I believe they will fill a market need left open by the demise of Hymer. A quality-built front lounge layout is sorely needed here in the state. I implored Dean and PW to make one but I think Panoramic beat him to it.
@@Ultramobility An RV is a big purchase. And people now do intensive research on the web. It's easy to find which builders are interested in quality, and which are not. A smart consumer wants something that's not going to fall apart, and something that will last. One concern I do have with the Canadian companies coming across is availability and promptness of service when there's a problem. As you know, that was a huge problem for Robin of Creativity RV, the availability of parts and good customer service was something she found lacking in her LTV and it eventually figured in her choosing a different product. Now. I am not saying her experience was the typical or the norm, others with LTVs report few to no problems. But it's something I want to keep track of as I look (and right now, the LTV front lounge, rear twin configuration is really high on my list).
@Robin Nuttall - servicing is going to be something that we'll want to find out more about with Panoramic. they will likely build out a dealer network here which is where you would get your servicing done. if they're smart they'll also do like PW and allow you to take your coach to any RV servicing center for repair whether that service center is a Panoramic dealer or not.
Thanks for the video. The Panoramic looks like a possible solution for three adults traveling together while still being very easy to drive and park. Do you know the dimensions of the third sleeping position in the front?
I need more panoramic rv info. Very little said online in text or video. So many unanswered questions especially when trying to compare it to other motor homes.
Panoramic RV www.panoramicrv.com it is built on the Promaster 3500 chassis so just under 21 feet at 20'11". It is beautiful on the inside. very high quality. full review coming thurs.
Second snippet answers those questions but here you go: will be available in the US in 2020. Fully loaded model will have an MSRP of around $120k so roughly same price maybe a bit lower than a Lexor by Pleasureway. Also comes with a 5 year warranty like Pleasureway. This is a Pleasureway competitor in terms of quality.
At first glance I thought you were interviewing Steve Jobs...but then I realized that was impossible. ;-) As for the Panoramic, of course this was just an interview and not a review of the RV -- just a "snippet" as you stated -- so we don't know much about it (inside or outside, its specifications, etc). However, it DOES seem to be an "alternative" to a Hymer as I found them too cheap-looking (so I'd never have gotten a Hymer -- or a Carado, another "alternative?") and was concerned when they bought Roadtrek that THEIR build-quality (decent, but not the best) would decline also. Whatever, we sure can use better-made RVs on the market, can't we...as long as they aren't priced out of our reach (as some already are), although I certainly don't expect "quality" to equate to cheap price-wise. Went to their French language website (still the "separatist" French Canadians, n'est-ce pas?) has an English version -- but couldn't find out if they will be 4-season/4x4-AWD (I'm guessing not). So again, it looks like even the Canadian Class B makers -- who should know cold weather -- still don't think people are wanting to use their RVs all year long and/or do more off-pavement (or inclement weather ON pavement) camping. Maybe it's just an "American thing" perhaps... Also looked at their floorplans to see what their bath looked like (and size) but couldn't tell much. Nor did I find any specs (chassis, engine, weights & measures, etc,). But since you speak French, perhaps you could find that info there and give us a link to it? Because for now, he mostly talked about the company's vision/philosophy -- which sounds great as we DO need MORE quality RVs (!) -- but we know nothing "concrete" about his particular Class B (specs, etc.)...so I can't say if I'd like to see it offered here in the US or not. And as you know, if it's not 4-season/4x4-AWD, then (to me) it's "just another average Class B" and we have plenty of those here now...even if they may not be as well built as this Panoramic claims to be. So IMO, what we need here in the US is not only a better-quality Class B (and longer warranty, as you yourself have often said) but at least SOME competition for the Winnebago Revel, as presently it has NONE. It seems to me then that the only hope for such competition anytime soon will come from Coachmen, IF they put their Beyond on the new (2020) Ford Transit 4x4 chassis. But perhaps Panoramic will also offer something? -- BR
Hi, Edward. I'm going to be flying up there this summer to see it. I will do a full video review of it. I'm quite interested in their production methodology as he mentioned that it is more akin to an automotive or aircraft manufacturer. this will also give me the opp to get back up to Montreal which is where I lived for 3 years and miss greatly!
I appreciate your videos-since I started watching your channel I’ve found your videos to be informative. However, this one left me wanting to see the interior of the van. You spent the entire video discussing the construction of the van and never showed anything about the interior. I sure hope you’ll do some videos featuring the models of this van manufacturer, I had not heard of before.
I'll reveal that in a second snippet but for you Sharon it's going to have an MSRP around $120k fully loaded so similarly priced to say a Lexor by Pleasureway - maybe a bit less. 5 year warranty like Pleasureway.
Hi Neil. Just a follow up re: this manufacturer. I emailed their one distributor in Quebec and got no answer. Just called today and their sales rep barely speaks English. This is a huge problem. Are you fluent in French? I think this unit has some potential but unless the language barrier is addressed they will be stopped in their tracks for dealer/maintenance/repair infrastructure.
John Puccetti some of us have old bladders that don’t abide by the compost separation rules. They aren’t for everyone. But if you’re one glad it works.
How unfortunate that the last four minutes of a fifteen minute VIDEO was allowed to be a blank (black) screen. You could of put photos of the unit or the facility you even mention in the discussion. I understand that you may have had video difficulties or equipment failure, but a blank screen shouldn’t be a viable solution in a YT video..
i thought about that but this is a tuesday video release which means i'm working doubly hard this week to get out two videos. i think that sometimes audio is just fine. it's more about what we're saying. Besides this was all bonus material. i'm sure you appreciate all the hard work i do ;-)
I absolutely do appreciate your work. I only commented in hopes of giving you some feedback as constructive criticism. As always, I’ll be waiting for your next video.. be well.
to be fair english is his second language and he was really tired after having driven out to las vegas. plus, my audio files were somehow lost so i had to rely on the camera's audio!! thank you for watching tho and hopefully you gained a little value from the video.
What do you think of the Panoramic RV? Do you want them to debut it in the United States?
Ultramobility absolutely, Europeans are way more innovative in RV game. And consumers know that from TH-cam reviews
Yes! Would be great to see the Panoramic class B come to the US market. WIth the Hymer uncertainties still be worked out, we need another coach with a front lounge area for working and whatever. Also, make it affordable, under 100k would be nice. Thanks Neil.

Good interview with Phil, Neil. I really think Panoramic will go along way! I’d like to invest into the company, is Phil entertaining investors?
Wow, thanks Neil. Never too much information.
Yes yes and yes- come to theUS
have u checked out Advanced RV'S custom build,,looks great,,
I missed the name of the coach manufacturer and the length of the Panoramic. I would want a Class B under 20 feet. This looks beautiful!
Panoramic RV www.panoramicrv.com it is built on the Promaster 3500 chassis so just under 21 feet at 20'11". It is beautiful on the inside. very high quality. full review coming thurs.
I hope in your video review later this week you discuss if it would be easy to upgrade to lithium.
Thanks !
What would you consider to be the best four season class B motorhome? Is there such a thing?
What is the cost ? Is it available in the US?
Second snippet answers those questions but here you go: will be available in the US in 2020. Fully loaded model will have an MSRP of around $120k so roughly same price maybe a bit lower than a Lexor by Pleasureway. Also comes with a 5 year warranty like Pleasureway.

Because for now, he mostly talked about the company's vision/philosophy -- which sounds great as we DO need MORE quality RVs (!) -- but we know nothing "concrete" about his particular Class B (specs, etc.)...so I can't say if I'd like to see it offered here in the US or not. And as you know, if it's not 4-season/4x4-AWD, then (to me) it's "just another average Class B" and we have plenty of those here now...even if they may not be as well built as this Panoramic claims to be.
So IMO, what we need here in the US is not only a better-quality Class B (and longer warranty, as you yourself have often said) but at least SOME competition for the Winnebago Revel, as presently it has NONE. It seems to me then that the only hope for such competition anytime soon will come from Coachmen, IF they put their Beyond on the new (2020) Ford Transit 4x4 chassis. But perhaps Panoramic will also offer something?

Which Thursday is this full review coming out? Lol
What kind of production line does Panoramic have? Not sure if you spoke of this before .
Hi, Edward. I'm going to be flying up there this summer to see it. I will do a full video review of it. I'm quite interested in their production methodology as he mentioned that it is more akin to an automotive or aircraft manufacturer. this will also give me the opp to get back up to Montreal which is where I lived for 3 years and miss greatly!
@@Ultramobility safe travels.
Do you have a full tour?
coming Thurs!
If you were a full-time RVer and had to choose a Class B or C, which type and Brand would you choose?
I appreciate your videos-since I started watching your channel I’ve found your videos to be informative. However, this one left me wanting to see the interior of the van. You spent the entire video discussing the construction of the van and never showed anything about the interior. I sure hope you’ll do some videos featuring the models of this van manufacturer, I had not heard of before.
It would have been great to have their US website launched and have substantial info on it. Looks like not well organized company
to be fair they requested that i delay this video until friday which is when their english website goes up.
price?
I'll reveal that in a second snippet but for you Sharon it's going to have an MSRP around $120k fully loaded so similarly priced to say a Lexor by Pleasureway - maybe a bit less. 5 year warranty like Pleasureway.
Hi Neil. Just a follow up re: this manufacturer. I emailed their one distributor in Quebec and got no answer. Just called today and their sales rep barely speaks English. This is a huge problem. Are you fluent in French? I think this unit has some potential but unless the language barrier is addressed they will be stopped in their tracks for dealer/maintenance/repair infrastructure.
Impressive
agree!
Composting separator toilet no more black water no drinking water wasted by peeing in it. Good idea?
John Puccetti some of us have old bladders that don’t abide by the compost separation rules. They aren’t for everyone. But if you’re one glad it works.
How unfortunate that the last four minutes of a fifteen minute VIDEO was allowed to be a blank (black) screen. You could of put photos of the unit or the facility you even mention in the discussion. I understand that you may have had video difficulties or equipment failure, but a blank screen shouldn’t be a viable solution in a YT video..
i thought about that but this is a tuesday video release which means i'm working doubly hard this week to get out two videos. i think that sometimes audio is just fine. it's more about what we're saying. Besides this was all bonus material. i'm sure you appreciate all the hard work i do ;-)
I absolutely do appreciate your work. I only commented in hopes of giving you some feedback as constructive criticism. As always, I’ll be waiting for your next video.. be well.
@@tradersato As soon as he gets enough Patreon support, he's going to hire help.

Too bad I can’t read French. I would have liked to have read through their website.
There a button you can click on for English, but not sure the whole site (meaning ALL its sections/pages) has an English version.

Bill Harmon , work your way to the bottom, ‘chose your language’, you have a choice of. 146 languages ! Wow, I read it in ENGLISH! Cheers from NJ
4 season?
water lines and fresh water tank are inside.
👏 😎
Did Hymer file for bankruptsy?
Sorry, Neil. I usually listen to all your video from beginning to end. This guy mumbles a lot and is hard to understand. Maybe it is just me.
to be fair english is his second language and he was really tired after having driven out to las vegas. plus, my audio files were somehow lost so i had to rely on the camera's audio!! thank you for watching tho and hopefully you gained a little value from the video.
What has become of this one-year trial? The Videos have dripped to a stop. What's become of Neil?
