as much as I like a dry bath you get it by having no kitchen at that length, that really is for people who eat at restaurants and may heat up some leftovers or make a sandwich for lunch. With as many singles who are out van camping it really is high time someone made a van for them that does not need to sleep two which so limits the floorplans

Almost every van has the same paint scheme. Using black paint to make it look like there are large windows running the length of the van. I don’t understand why they do this. Who do they think they’re fooling. It looks stupid and fake to me!

@dorisshanks7295 3 ай бұрын

I don’t care for the yellow main color. No bathroom sink and windows not opening are also no no’s. Also batteries are inaccessible for me and exposed to the weather. Also no on the kitchen faucet. No to the water pump switch being inside a cabinet door. Forward slanting upper cabinets have unusable upper area leaning out. 8 gal Black tank would fill in 3/4 days. Also no way to add fresh water to tank when boondocking. Rear door plan has potential for innovative floor plans but this design needs work.

@jenniferh.7219 8 ай бұрын

Unless I am overlooking it they need more kitchen counter space. Even with the pop up extra prep space. Imo they should have a model where one of the long couches is shorter (preferably the one next to the kitchen sink) so that extra counter space & storage space is possible.

Needs a better sink and faucet, like a stainless deep bowl and high rise faucet. Also, a cassette toilet rather than the black tank system. Why don’t they vent the truma underneath rather than on the side? One more, get rid of genny and add 300 amp or so battery. Other than those few things, a quite well sorted out van and layout. Good storage and versatility

I'm glad Chinook is back on the market, i had one years ago and loved it. I just wish class b manufacturers would understand what van lifers want in a rig. NO we don't want TV, sat tv, generator or a dry shower. We would rather have permanent mounted internet Starlink, at least 200 of lithium charged by a beefy alternator and solar. And more storage for gear. This day and age AGM batteries shouldn't be in a coach, even in cold climates.

@user-3tf67bk46u 8 ай бұрын

@@Samson12550I'm inclined to agree but I wonder if one reason for it is to keep all plumbing together close so that conductive heat loss can help up the freeze protection of at least the toilet, pump and kitchen? Of course they could swap sides and it'd be a non issue all together. Unless, is there a code restriction that says you can't exhaust any hot item on the side where random strangers may be walking by? That's probably weak.. I think I've seen at least some campers that exhaust on driver's side before. Ya, just poor planning really.

@scottvinson9823 10 ай бұрын

Having a Convection Oven is really nice. Most people do not realize that you cannot bake anything in an RV (especially a class B) with just a microwave oven. Also after having an Airstream Interstate for years I find that the mid-coach bed setup is much better than the power sofa/bed where you have to climb over your partner at night.

@jabreck1934 10 ай бұрын

The microwave in my class B is convection oven and grill. In five years I have never seen anybody show a grill feature!!!! Rotates and grills food to perfection! Best steaks I have ever cooked. It’s the feature I use the most, yet nobody ever talks about it. It’s truly bizarre, I don’t get it. I actually think that most people don’t know it even exists. Weird

The tour was excellent. I would swap the separated bathroom for a shorter van because of how and where I'd be using it. I don't need such a luxurious build, but it sure is ... amazing! I wondered about the fan... MaxxAir would be my choice. I'd want a toilet that didn't involve black water. I'd also want small window(s) I could open. I just learned about security glass protection systems ("Buydecorativefilm" or "Nidojp" brands) that make it safer to own any live-aboard vehicle. Chinook might consider adding that protection as an extra. Thanks.

Your asking for a custom build for you. I might take issue with Chinook's marketing and a lack of quality in the Maverick cabinets i saw, not the minute component choices if this model, unless they are inferior quality for the size. Sizing down is always a tradeoff of inches dedicated for X item. Id prefer this design over your imaginery one..and its quality in the build that you should consider in this particular design model.

Sure - the Truma Combi is air and hot water from one smart appliance. The water tank is integrated into the furnace for hot air and hot water. You can of course turn off the furnace functionality during warmer months. The heater vent is located under the sofa and I believe another one toward the rear of the coach as well.

@user-3tf67bk46u 8 ай бұрын

@@VogtRVWorld Is the Truma 120v or propane? If it's only 120 then you'd have to run the Onan all night long in the cold. Regarding the Onan, I guess there's not a lot of mounting locations, but where it is I think it would render this B Class non useable on salted roads once the snow flies. Unless there's a rubber sealed box flap that's not mounted in the video for seasonal semi storage and non-use during salted road trips? The salt and backspray would completely destroy that Onan. You wouldn't even get one year out of it. That said, I know in Texas, salted roads are probably not on your radar they way they are for so many other of us.

We enjoyed cooking every day. And even if grilling we still wanted a stove a sink and enough cabinets for food. To each his own I guess.
