Love my Embassy RV. As a solo female traveler it is so easy to maintain. No propane, no generator and no black tank. Embassy has incredible integrity and great innovation. Glad I found them.

Update: Nücamp has announced its new 920 truck camper and I’m holding off my Embassy order until I see that and Embassy’s new Cape Cod B+. I’ll probably be able to move forward with a Cirrus much more quickly. I’m old and I’ve no idea when the (yet to be seen) Cape Cod will enter production. With a Cirrus, I’d have a permanent real queen sized bed. No, I haven’t as yet seen the new 920 but the old 020 could have worked and the new one promises to be a dry bath rig with lots of LiFePo3 for off grid use.

We picked up our Embassy RV Dolpin S on a Ford Transit on June 27th, 2023, and love it! We named her Grace. At Embassy, you can choose your interior colors. Jen mentioned in another video about Embassy having dark colors. You can choose black cabinets and black coach covers, if you'd like. We choose white cabinets, white countertop and light Auster gray coach covers. Grace is very light and bright. I have a new Anchor Moments RV channel and you can tour Grace. Thanks so much for your videos! I have enjoyed your channel for a long time, and it was exciting to see you highlight our favorite company, Embassy! 😊

Absolutely fantastic video. This really shows the innovation of an Embassy build and the integrity that goes into making one. We LOVE our Embassy Dolphin SL (like the one you showed in the video), and wouldn’t trade it for anything. This video showed me some things I didn’t realize about the Embassy build… like the ability of the metal cabinets to flex. Terry’s explanation of EFFICIENCY over POWER with the A/C was truly enlightening. BTW… those drawers are soft close, so you don’t need to close them all the way. They do that on their own! And those seat belts are DOT tested and beyond what the DOT requires for safety standards. Also, when talking about price, it does fluctuate depending on what extra options you may want, but even so, it isn’t a price PLUS dealer costs (sometimes as much as $3k) since there are no dealers to contend with. The price is the price. And this is for something that has custom features, unlike the big assembly line manufacturers. Thank you for showing off this amazing and innovative RV. Be seeing you!

Would love to see them build a close competitor to the Winnebago Ekko on the Transit using these construction methods and materials. I'd be very interested!

They ARE working on their own version of the EKKO, but NOT copying it. It is named Cape Cod as mentioned in this video.

We will get our SL near the end of Sept. been patiently waiting over a year. We have been to Elkhart and met with Terry and Wanda (what a doll) Terry was gracious and spent considerable time walking us down the assembly line. At my age (84) you can’t take chances with build quality. It is our first rig and we look forward to the experience.🙏

@dlg5485 Жыл бұрын

I'd love to know the wet curb weight on one of these. Given the materials used, it has to be at least 500 lbs less than something like a Coachmen Beyond and that should reduce fuel consumption and allow for better stability while driving. I wonder if they even need to build these on the 11000 lb chassis. Stepping down to the 9550 SRW would reduce weight and rolling resistance even more, further improving fuel economy and stability. If dreams came true, I'd have a custom van built by Advanced RV or Humble Road, but since I definitely can't afford that, an Embassy van is the only non custom class B I'd buy.

@dlg5485 Жыл бұрын

I'm not a fan of the look of the plastic cabinets/panels, but I can get over that if the overall build quality/durability is on point. The biggest reason I don't want a production class B from a major brand is the pathetic quality across the industry. That said, you can't dispute the level of innovation Embassy is doing.

@bryan3dguitar 11 ай бұрын

It's nice that the composite materials are light and strong. And mold and mildew resistant. But what about being fire-proof? Is it also highly combustible like most vehicle interiors? If so, and even if the van has a smoke detector, how about a roof-shower sprinkler system? If not, forget I asked :o)

Do they sell direct or use a dealership system?

@RoadsofLife Жыл бұрын

They sell direct. They are "controlled custom'" vehicles, which means they build when you order one, not before. Unlike fully customized builders, that can run in the $300k or more price range, Embassy is not FULLY customizable. There are options to choose and sometimes minor modifications are possible.

@someoneelse7629 7 ай бұрын

As much as I love peoples home built campers, I hate that most of them end up looking like a Sauna inside, with tounge and groove wood from top ro bottom. That said, I dont mind a little wood trim and fabric panels, because all composite feels "cold and sterile" There has to be balance
