Comparing class B's on the Ram Promaster 3500, I'd prefer the Coachmen Nova 20RB which has a similar floorpan with even nicer fit and finish in my opinion but out of the 2 you showcased in the video, I'd lean towards the Winnebago Travato. Nice job!

Good comparison Scott! As an Ethos owner(20A not the 20T) you did a very fair comparison. I'll abbreviate T and E in my comparison. A few things that are not obvious: T-Sumo Springs, E-EZ Drive (Helwig helper springs and anti-sway). T-18 gal of fresh water, E-24 gallons of fresh water. T-TV antenna, E- Winegard Connect 2.0+ TV, WIFI, LTE Internet. T-Ultraleather seats are optional, E-Standard. E-Overhead shelf above windshield visors, T-none. T-Nautilus panel inside rear doors, E-all connections left exterior. Both have backup cameras, T-also has digital rearview mirror. T-TV Soundbar, no stereo, E-ceiling /exterior speakers, DVD/stereo. T-Individual control panels for house systems, E-Firefly touch panel. My comments: I like the Travato Lagun table and slat bed system for bed area. Ethos airplane table for passenger. If I was going to do system modifications I would prefer Travato's controls, but for simplicity of use I prefer the Firefly panel. I think the chrome running boards and chrome exhaust on the Ethos look classier. The painted front facia on the Travato looks nicer, but the Ethos plastic wont chip with rocks. I like the locking "safe" in the Travato. I like the 3 wardrobe drawers on the Ethos. I like the Ethos invisible cabinet latches. I like the all glass (passenger style chassis) of the Ethos rather than the black painted sides of the Travato. Which one would I buy? Tossup. We bought the Ethos 20A with the 4 captains chairs. Nobody else offers that floorplan on a Promaster. Whichever you prefer, you'll get a great adventure. BTW Scott toured our van at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rcl3m6RpqarQfYE.html

Holy buckets! You did a thoughtful comparison! Kudos! 👏 I prefer the cabinets on the T. I’m not keen on the high gloss finish. Love the safe compartment that the T has! I prefer the table on the T but like the entertainment system of the E and the cooktop on the E is so much better!! The cooktop on the T looks so cheap!

Hey Scott, great video as always. As a owner of a 2022 Ethos 20TL, the lithium version, Ive been happy with everything except plumbing. The TL has the Timberline hydronic heating system and they used reinforced braided vinyl water lines. All of the lines to my heat exchanger eventually leaked. I end up have to have them all replaced with PEX. The heat exchanger gets up to 175 degrees and the line are rated 180 up 80 psi. But the Renogy system is great but not to user friendly. You have to leave the inverter on the charge from shore power but the 2nd alternator recharges fairly quickly. I was at about 70% and drove about 2 hours and got back to 100%. Overall the ownership has been good, but its the dealership we bought and with Texas's franchise laws makes it impossible to take it anywhere else for service under warranty in the state of Texas. If there is anything I would change is where I bought from. Thanks again for the great content.

Howdy from Frisco, TX. We bought our rig from out of state and we have had 2 different dealers perform warrantee service on our rig, (2022 Tavato KL). Also, Chevy, Ford, Ram etc. Dealers perform warrantee service even if you did not buy from them. They are all francised. Maybe this is a manufacturer stipulation to bring to seller for warrantee service, not The State of Texas. I would encourage you to try to take your rig to another dealer for service, if you choose. Good Luck !🤠

@@waynewynn5892 Well hopefully you have everything sorted now, so you can enjoy your rig. We love ours! FYI We have also made a couple of road trips to Winnebego Factory Service in Iowa for warrantee work. They have all of the parts right there. We camped right on their grounds. It was a nice little getaway adventure. Maybe Integra has a similar program.

Ethos wins on touch pad controls and likely has an app for your phone. Continuous cabinet space with concealed latches, exterior system features, awning tie down latches and a proper engine exhaust pipe that directs down. One could retrofit LAGUN mounts and just use the table top for joining the beds. That would take up storage for table tops for the LAGUN mounts, though. Travato wins on under bed storage, driver/pass front tables, LAGUN mounts, rear door bug screen, walnut wood grain walls. Happy Travels, Scott...

We have the 2020 Travato KL. The Ethos seems to copy the older 2020 K with the airplane table and dinette table. But Ethos has firefly lighting and tablet control a stepup and probably allows dimming of lights. Water connections on outside -less stealth but you dont have to open and leave door open to attach water hoses. The ethos came with better ladder AND spare tire and tire holder!!! Thats a $1,000 upgrade over the Travato with no spare tire.

Great review Scott. I personally would choose the Travato 59K. It just seems more of a quality build. I do have a problem with both table types. Having used both systems in class B RVs, I can say that they are both cumbersome! What I would personally do would be to have a folding table stored under the long bed, and pull it out whenever it’s needed. Again, great work!
