Sounds like the Travato is a good fit. Minimal "tail swing" makes it way easier to drive than the prior Class A and Class C ones, doesn't it? Your upload was a welcome break from the endless news reporting ... the networks are in "big story' mode where they're just repeating the tiny amount of information they have. I'd much rather think about RVing for a while.

Great recap! 🎉😊 I went back to watch your older videos from Tallahassee to Green Bay to Washington. Continued blessings in all you do and continued safe travels. You should also watch a KZfaq channel called "Where is Tiffany" She also has a Travatto and travels the West coast frequently. Her favorite travels are from Washington down the Oregano coast. She certainly knows how to chef it up on the road as well. #happycamping

Hey David! I’ve been following you since you started. I have had a 17’ TT, a small Class A, and a 25’ Class C. Now, we have a Ram Promaster Campervan, which I LOVE! I agree with you, maneuverability is Great! Getting into small spaces is easier. It’s like driving pickup truck. Looking forward to your next update and videos.

Great update. That Christmas tree farm looks like one we drove by on our way to Ike Kinswa State Park---I wonder if it was the same one. I wanted to suggest that before you tackle modding your shower, go to an RV show (should be several coming up in the months ahead, at the Tacoma Dome) and look at what is offered in the newest rigs. Not so you can buy a brand new Travato, but so you can get ideas for how you might transform your own bathroom/shower, based on what you see now. I'd also suggest getting an Oxygenics shower head. There are many different models but the best thing about Oxygenics is that they conserve water while giving you the pressure you get in your home! We've changed every single shower head out as our first mod in the rigs we've owned over the years and have never once been disappointed. Easy mod to do too. Looking forward to your next video!

I’m glad your Travato is working well for you. As I’m sure you know from your previous units, there’s always going to be things to change, fix or upgrade, even with a new rig. We have gone from tents to 3 different pop-ups to a 21’ travel trailer and they all needed help (maybe not the tents!). Thanks for another good video. I was interested in your thoughts about your class B.😊

Old mechanic.The 3.6 L Pentastar engine is very reliable,for a Chrysler product 😃, fairly common to hit 200K+. Common problem is hydraulic lifter failure, loud ticking at idle. DO NOT overheat these Aluminum head+ block engines, or you'll have a big paperweight for a engine. At any sign of beginning overheating,stop,let idle (don't shut off,you want coolant to continue circulating) until cooled down. For all y'all Glampers with gassers, no matter what anyone or manufacturers tell you,do not exceed 5K for oil/ filter changes.I don't care what type/ brand oil,5K oil is dirty oil. Hope these tips help you Glampers out there...

@Bubba-wx7lpАй бұрын
No problem Jedi, new to channel,glad to help Glampers. I left a comment on Tumwater Falls, my stomping grounds are West of I-5. Anyway, to elaborate on the 5K oil changes ( easy to do yourself with way higher quality parts then you get at most places) It's not that the newer full synthetic oils break down at 5K ( they do lose some additives) but any oil becomes contaminated with gasoline blowby past piston rings. Gasoline is a solvent,not a lubricant. It then washes oil off bearings / etc. That's why changing oil at 5K, is a lot cheaper than engine repairs.
