Agree!!!! We have had three travel trailers and now own a Travato 59K. We will only camp in a class b for the convenience!!

I've heard a lot of good things on the Travato. I know a lot of professional bass fisherman and obviously towing a boat, your options are pretty limited. For ages, many have had the truck bed campers, and while they do the trick, all the set up is a pain. With the advent of the "off road"/boondock/all wheel drive class "B"s, a fair number are making the switch to the "B"s. The ones who have switched over say they love it.

Thanks for sharing! We need this kind of info :)

You just made our day! One of the best compliments we’ve ever gotten. Thank you 😊

Agree. That's, to me, the biggest downsides to vans, "C"'s, And "A"s (assuming no towed). Any time you want to go anywhere, you have to break camp, unless you got bikes/cycles/e-bikes.

Thanks for sharing this!

Haha! This is such a great point.

My sister and BIL were big RV'ers for over 40 years. The first one they bought when they were rookies, "The Long Long Trailer" was the first thing that popped into my mind. Pretty much came true when we coming down a mountain outside Monarch. We noticed we kept going faster and faster down the mountain. My BIL being the cool under fire types didn't tell us the breaks were over heated until we were just about hitting the curves on two wheels. Made for a funny story after the fact. Not so much at the time.

That’s awesome!

What I don't miss about our little trailer was that there were so many places that we wanted to pull over for lunch and we couldn't find a place to park it! We only had a 12 foot pop-up A-frame towed by a Subaru Outback. Honestly, I don't know what people do when they're pulling a huge fifth wheel with a monster pickup truck. It's so limiting. We love our nimble little B van. And, likewise, I never want slides or self-leveling jacks. Too many things to go wrong or leak. Less is more.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

We totally agree. We want to so bad!

Thank you! 😀

Oh wow! I had no idea. Thanks for sharing!

We agree!

Awesome! Thank you!😊

Yeah good idea 👍🏼

Haha, Marty! You just never know! Have a great weekend!

Hahahaha. We have talked about selling him. Or renting him out on an RV rental site.

True

True! LOL

Thank you! 😊

Agree

You won’t be dragging that first trailer down the road 🤔

We have no place to park it.

Oh! Had no idea. Did we say it correctly?

@@Vancaskeys almost...the e is silent👍

@@scottd2063 haha! Almost had it!

We need to find one to look at!

We have thought about getting a B+ agree it would fit lots of our needs!

Well well well….aren’t you spot on 😂 That’s one of Bobs favorites.

We have been trying to find one! If you find one let us know.

Nugget of knowlege..... Embassy will do rebuilds to existing built chassis.

All great points. And you are so right…our HOA would be a no go.

@@Vancaskeys That's always the best thing about travel trailers. You park them, set up, unhook and you just tool around in your truck without having to break camp every time you want to go somewhere. Forest River makes a 25' travel trailer in various decent floor plans that have a couple of slides that aren't all complete crap (usually) and they are generally less harmful to the wallet than many. The plus slide (in addition to it being a trailer and relatively smallish) is that they aren't that heavy and you can get by with a half ton pick up to pull them, although a 3/4 ton would probably be better. The best class C ever built are the old GMC's that were made from 1973-1978. They are collectors items today. My next door neighbor had one that he bought new in 1975 and he had it for 40 years. In the early 2000's he completely rebuilt it, Re-did everything inside, outside, drive train, engine, everything. After he died his daughter sold it while I was out of town. Man I would have bought that thing in a minute, as it was essentially new. He parked it in his drive way and it was small and compact enough that the HOA (and they were old busy bodies with nothing better to do than bitch about everything) never said anything about it. Obviously, as you know, if space is really what you want, you get a 5th wheel or drive a bus. For me, I'm too old for that these days. As you look at and review RV's all the time, you know better than most that for the most part, RV's are built like garbage particularly from Covid to present. These days you can't even go with the "They are noted for a quality build". Even with the exact same model one can be complete crap and the next one that was the next one built, even crappier. At my age, were I to get another RV, I would most likely go with an Oliver II. Yes, they are expensive, but for an RV, they are probably the best built smaller RV's around (with the above caveat in mind). Very well thought out, supposedly excellent customer support, you pick them up at the factory where they have a campground that you can stay at and work out the kinks with technicians to help you out while you're there actually camping in them. If I went with a "C", the least crappy of the bunch seem to be the Winnebago View. Not too big, just one slide to hassle with (and to have problems with. In general, every slide you have trebles the BS you have to deal with) and the Mercedes chassis seems to be less crap than most. In any case, no matter what you get, you just have to make peace with the fact that its a depreciating liability that is even worse, and the "drive-off-the-lot-depreciation" makes that of a new car seem tame. One thing I would also do, no matter what I bought, would be to have it inspected by a certified RV inspector that YOU hire (never take the recommendation of the dealer/seller) that actually know what they are doing. On the plus side, when you're mostly bald from pulling your hair out dealing with the BS that comes with the "joy" of RV ownership, just keep in mind the old axiom, "Buy an RV, they said. It will be fun they said".
