I’ve always had it in my mind that when I build my camper van out that I want rounded corners on everything. And then I saw this. It’s so beautiful.
Yes, love the rounded corners! No sharp corners to bump into😆. Thanks for watching!
Such a great Van Tour of the Noovo Plus on the Super High Roof Promaster 3500 Nice job Frisco T !!!
Thanks! It was a great visit with them. I have been following them for a few years and nice to see the progression of their builds.
I like the opportunity to try (rent) before you buy. This is one of my favorite van options at the moment. Looking forward to seeing what other customizations are offered as you start getting this model on the road!
@@HoCtane248 I just spent 2 days visiting with Noovo (unfortunately didn’t take video) I got to spend time looking at how they are built and chat with the owners. They really have a great team and amazing build quality and features in the vans. What is nice if there are any changes you want they will work with you, within reason of course 🙂!
Great tour!!! 💯
We absolutely love the lounge/ bed area. It’s truly innovative!
It really is! It's nice to see some innovation!
Until the meantime, I will keep following you and your travels and will keep you posted. Keep the great videos coming.
The one thing I would change would be to eliminate the u shape dinette and put a couch with two jump seats that converts to a queen/king size bed. That table in the dinette looks like it could get a bit claustrophobic for me.
That would be an interesting option. When you are in that space it actually is very comfortable. Lagun tables are a plus because they can be removed, but the downside is they don't feel as stable as a pedestal table. Thanks for watching!
Electric bed is the #1 game changer IMO. Being able to store the bed and not have to make a bed every night is something most vans don't have unless one does a custom build or DIY, and it's also something most people want. As for the toilet, I personally wouldn't want to deal with a cassette model, they should allow a swap with other kinds, including ones that need no plumbing or allow the use of composting. It's just one of those things where people want what they want. As for tables, I think having the option of 1 or 2 Lagun mounts would greatly increase the usability. While the pedestal table in back is lovely, a Lagun table is just a natural fit for that space, as well as up front for people using the captain seating.
Agree, the bed is such a great feature. I do like the pedestal table as it feels much more sturdy than a lagun, and it is also part of the second bed option. A lagun would be a nice option in the front for the passenger side, it would be another option for working and also extra counter space for food prep. Thanks for watching!
We ordered one with the Laveo Dry Flush. We had this toilet in our last travel trailer, it was great!
Great video. Now I'm confused....I'm still sold on the Panoramic ... that being said there are some things about this RV that I like as well. Thanks for sharing the video. 🙏 and stay safe on the road. I may have to take them up on that three day rental to see what van life is truly like before I give up my Airstream .
I know what you mean! It is a very compelling van! They are very passionate about their product and seem like a great group of people. It is different from the Panoramic and both have great features. I think it comes down to how you want to travel - I think the Noovo might give you a little more options for extended off grid with the battery and fresh and gray tanks sizes, although the cassette would need to be emptied more frequently. The Panoramic has those nice windows and does have the black tank instead of a cassette. Thanks for watching!
The Noovo is a sweet looking van. I'm just not so sure about the cassette toilet, but I do love the amount of water that the fresh and black tanks hold. I met your friend at Wrightsville Beach North Carolina and his panoramic and we really had great conversation . Since Panoramic doesn't have a rental agreement I may fly to Vegas and rent this van for three days and see what van life really is like. I do love the fact that the bed will raise up out-of-the-way. Keep the good videos coming and will be looking forward to your interview with drifter vans soon.
@@dougbevell7153 yeah, I don’t know if I would want a cassette toilet either. Van travel is great! The biggest thing is you will realize how much you don’t need to bring, you basically trade storage space for ease of travel. You can pretty much park anywhere and if you are driving around and see something interesting it’s definitely much easier to stop and not worry about if you can fit with a travel trailer or big rig (class A) .
Do they only build on the Ram Promaster? I like the van but want AWD.
Unfortunately yes, just the Promaster. I have driven the updated Promaster, it seems to handle well and feel somewhat nimble but it is still only front wheel drive. Thanks for watching!
+1 - in this market, awd is an expectation. tho i would put this on Ram to up their game to compete better with ford/Mercedes
Cassette is the best just need the option of opening up the garage space...
I think they are working on ways to expand the storage space. Definitely need a little more garage storage in the Plus.
Would’ve been nice to have a glimpse of the inside of fridge and freezer appliances while you’re touring the kitchen…
Thanks for watching! Good point, we didn't get around to that.
Given the luxury focus and the RWD chassis I'm guessing this is meant more for full-time van-lifers and people who will mostly camp at campgrounds? I mean, I can't see taking this on the Dalton Highway to go see the Artic Ocean or driving it through the sand on a beach, or through the snow. Not only would I fear the RWD not handling those situations well, but the interior is almost "too pretty" for those sorts of activities that end up tracking a lot of dirt inside. I think it's an amazing build, and certainly capable of very comfortable off-grid traveling, but probably not a lot of off-road traveling?
I believe Noovo does build with a focus on full-time travel. The Promaster is front wheel drive, but I think the Promaster in general is not the best choice if you want to do a lot of serious off road travel. The Sprinter (older 4x4 or new AWD) with a lift is probably the best option for serious off road. Possibly an AWD Transit with a lift could be an option as well.
@@BeyondtheFern Thanks for the correction on FWD vs. RWD, that's certainly better. I've looked at a lot of the mainstream options for Sprinters, but most seem to use the 144 wheelbase, forcing the bed to be east-west, meaning that for a couple someone is getting crawled over and woken up at some point. I'd love for a company like Winnebago to offer a Revel 170 option using the extra length to orient the bed north-south. I know there are small custom builders that can do that but I worry a bit going with a custom build in terms of long-term support.
@@JethroXP have you looked at Embassy RV? They build on the bigger Sprinter chassis. I know someone that has decked theirs out for off road, they just started a channel @EndlessAdventuresinvanlife
@@BeyondtheFern No, but I'll take a look, thanks!
Do these have a 30A or 50A shore power plug in for when at campsites with 110V electrical power?
They have 30A plugs.
They still haven't shown the overhead airplane bin storage in any of the videos. They must still be modifying that maybe. 🤔
I think they had them locked shut after the Adventure Van Expo because so many people were opening and closing them. It's the final build before production so maybe they are going to make a few adjustments too, not sure. Thanks for watching!
Great, but no RAM. Ford or Mercedes. Is that available?
At this point in time they are only building on the Ram Promaster chassis. Not sure if they will expand to the other platforms in the future. I would love to see a Transit build!
Great van, but please improve the latter used for the bed. Those narrow rungs are incredibly difficult for older people to maneuver. Widen the rungs please.
I believe they are changing the ladder, but I don't have the specifics. I may be going back to visit so if there are any updates I'll share them. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful van, I need more privacy in the potty 🫢
Lol! Yes, that is the big challenge in a van!
Not a fan off the cassette toilet. Rather bag & drop off.
An wondering if the stove comes with a electric oven & a 2 burner. Everything else looked great.
@@robbblair6289 yeah, I’m not a fan of cassettes. I would probably replace it with an OGO toilet. Don’t think they have an oven option, would love to see a van builder incorporate an electric oven. Thanks for watching!
If you have a grey tank, you might as well have a black as well! Not everyone can even lift 40 lbs!
True, I know I would struggle with it. Thanks for watching!
You can opt for the Laveo Dry Flush & there's no emptying or lifting/carrying.
@@PandaLAG You read my mind 😉 I've been looking at the Noovo Lite (am going to do a tour video soon) and that is one of the options I would consider, the OGO composting toilet is a good option too.
I would love to see that shower door to offer more privacy,especially if I’m traveling with my grandkids
@@cpavs8304 Good point, maybe a Tambourine door?
I love this van, but the Plus seems too large for a single traveler. I am dreaming about the Lite. I just don't think I can afford it. I have to really look into it.
The Plus the same length as the Noovo Lite, Winnebago Travato, Coachmen Nova and Panoramic. The difference is it is a taller van, I think it might be slightly taller than the Ford Transit High Roof, maybe an inch? I know the interior height is 7 feet where the Transit I think is a little over 6 and half feet on the interior. If you are curious about the Lite you should reach out to them, they are really friendly and accommodating and may have options from a pricing standpoint.
@@BeyondtheFern ProMaster super high roof is 86" whereas the Transit high roof is 81.5".
@@patrickio8084 thanks for the info!
@@BeyondtheFern It used to be:
Longest = Sprinter
Tallest = Transit
Widest = ProMaster
Now the ProMaster is the widest and tallest.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi guys! Hope you are both doing well! Any chance you are escaping Florida heat and coming to the COA Rally?
Hi Ma'am actually this RV is convenient for 2 people. No need for a Lift Bed , please don't say that it will fit 6 people or 16 people 😀 this will be perfect for 2 people.😀😀😀😀
With the lift bed and convertible dinette it can sleep four people. The dinette itself can seat six people comfortably, for dinner, card games, socializing. It's not meant to travel with 6 people.
I stopped watching when she said "Cassette Toilet"
Sorry. No Bueno. Trying to empty 40 lbs of poop is not sanitary...or easy
The cassette toilet is 4.75 gallons. It's the gray tank that is 40 gallons. Personally I still prefer a black tank though, but have friends that use the cassette and they say it gives them more options for places to dump. Thanks for watching!
The cassette my only hold 4.75 gallons but if you fill it to the max it will be over 40 pounds plus to weight of thé actual cassette
@sharonfields6703 You empty a cassette every two or three days. Two and a half gallons is about 20 lbs which is more doable. You only lift it empty. You lower it when full.
Everything is laminated because they use cheap wood that has a lot of knots. A pig with lipstick is still a pig.
Thanks for watching
