@Nunyabizn3ss 4 жыл бұрын
I’m seriously considering similar, because I can’t drive my cabin around the continent, or ship it across the pond. That said, you can get a whole lotta land for $185,000. I could upfit the van myself, but the time/income I’d have to invest to do so would be more costly than hiring professionals; I’d also end up with a subpar product.

38 38 This is why insurance is a necessity. It does take some thinking out of the box, but it is possible to generate an income remotely, seasonally or passively. There is definitely a market for these vehicles and many people who can comfortably afford them, otherwise Sportsmobile will be out of business. These vehicles also retain a decent resale value- it’s not $185,000 out the window.

Go anywhere capability with the pop top views and ventilation you love.

I have the 1998 E 350 extended body with the 7.3 diesel, we purchased it new and it now has 225k miles on it and we still use it. Our kids were babies when we purchased it and now they take it camping. As far as cost goes, its considered a second home and you can write off the interest and put it on a 15 year note, so the payment is like a car payment. The owners of the company are great and the company stands behind what they sell. We’ve had it in deep snow and very rough terrain as well as one sandy beaches. We’ve only had it stuck one time and the winch pulled us right out. If you take care of it you can give it to your kids. Best purchase we ever made...I had ghost flames painted on the side of mine recently. My wife asked why, I told her “Every man should have a vehicle with flames on it at least once in his life.” Thanks Alan

I can't complain about this video, I personally think it was a very important overview of the features and benefits of this four season 4X4 pop top camper van. Anyone that complaied hasn't followed you and Kait to understand your honesty and up front attitude. I now have a better understanding of this rig. I would point out that this is not a Cookie cutter design but a very customizable unit and that’s the reason why it costs as much as it does. If you bought this unit off a production line it would be a lot less expensive. So with that in mind, can you justify the buy in price? See you in your next video and as always happy trails
@Weretherussos 4 жыл бұрын
Dale - you're absolutely correct. With some custom vans, we struggle to see the value in them. With this, we definitely see the value and think that the price is worth what you get. As I mentioned, it's a serious consideration but the cost and timeframe to get one are limiting factors for us. That said, there is a lot of demand for these. They don't depreciate like cookie cutter vans do and if we were to buy one, we could get most of our money back out of it if we sold - assuming it was in good shape.

Joe and Kait, thanks for another informative and entertaining vid. I'm really enjoying this series of videos about your search for a new full-time home. I'm at an age where retirement is a tangible thing and, for the last couple of years, have been learning what I can about Class B options. Following your adventures in the Aktiv and your current search for a new rig is a great insider's look at one couple's process. It's been educational. For example, I used to obsess about the small size and narrow confines of wet baths in Class Bs but, recently, have come to appreciate that a vehicle without a floor-to-ceiling bath is much more open. Also, it seems a lot of experienced RV'ers who enjoy going off-grid in the wild seem to prefer units without wet baths. I'm guessing the inevitable odor of an interior facility is a factor one should consider. Anyway, thanks for inviting us into your lives and your journey. Best of success to you in finding the perfect full-time rig for your needs, travel and lifestyle.

@@Weretherussos, there’s always the M1078-M1088 Stewart and Stevens used LMTVs. Quite a few snowbird couples are going that route, since you can get a 6x6 Cat powered truck with less than 20k miles for as much as a base model 1/2 ton pickup retails at a dealership. It looks like a lot of the cost is more the external bodywork for recessed storage, and less the interior or drivetrain amenities. If Ford, Chevy, and Ram made SUVs and passenger vans with a diesel selectable AWD/4x4 drivetrain as a widely available option at their dealerships, they could probably make enough volume sales to lower the price point on the full adventure camper van package.

What an experience it's been to see you go through all these options to replace your old way of life and consider new ways to move forward. So far as I am concerned, the top choice would be the Winnebago on the new Ford AWD chassis. Admittedly it won't be the serious off roader that rigs like you are now experiencing are but it would serve to be just enough safety to give me piece of mind and take advantage of all the new safety features. Hope to see Kait in the next video. Wish her well and in good health.

Yo Russos! thanks for constantly sharing your experience. For your next temporary RV vehicle shout out, can you please share your experience living in an old-er RV? You guys review a lot of newer renovated/conversations, but for folks who can't afford expensive vans/RVs; an older well-used vehicle is more realistic. For someone like myself, a weekend camper who still works a full-time 9-to-5 (wahhh!), a high-end van/rv is not something I would want to invest in. But a 1995 Ford Class B for $15k? Well, that is more within the price range for a novice like myself. Maybe you can do a series: 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s etc.

A bit more fresh water would be nice, but these are just a few of my own ideas. Have seen these work before, very nice. Built for the roads less traveled.

I think in Germany you'll get a lot more for your money. Even though this car looks like fun, but to expensive.

It also seems rather unsophisticated by comparison. Equipment, build quality, just the details alone seem far too simple given the price point.
@robertkelsow-geall7395 4 жыл бұрын
Love this vehicle but... that price tag is just waaaaay too much for me. I realize it's high end quality but isn't that out of most of your viewers reach? Dunno.

It’s very nice. 4x4 is a must. For us, we need a larger bed and an indoor shower is necessary, particularly to be consistent with “all seasons” and not needing a gym etc. Those are the caveats for us. $150,000+ is what these things cost. Fuel consumption is whatever it is.

There's no denying the fact that each campervan or motorhome has its place, you can have your own home on wheels or you can have a compact campervan and the fact is I truly love them all and now I'm on my own again apart from my guard cat and dog who farts when he awake and then his silent but deadly when hes asleep. Don't get me wrong though I love them both but if I could afford to have one I'd have mine done all over in Matt black linex and white steel wheels and not forgetting the raised lift, I almost forgot I'd have it in right hand drive

I'm intrigued by SMB vans, both the Classic and the Sprinter/ based ones, and I could definitely see myself owning one. However, they are quite expensive and the gas mileage of that V10 must be abysmal. What mileage are you guys seeing...I'm guessing around 13 mpg. If you travel over 20,000 miles per year as I plan to, fuel cost is a major consideration. Not having an indoor shower is also a pretty big downside for me, as I plan to do a fair bit of urban travel, although I suppose I could get a Planet Fitness membership. Also, is there a table anywhere in this rig? If not, that's a major oversight. Great review!
@alanmay7929 4 жыл бұрын
D LG i think it should be less than 13mpg , they should have used a diesel engine which is way more efficient,or at least convert the v10 to run on Lpg or cng

@@alanmay7929 The Russos are usually pretty good about answering questions, so I hope they will answer this one. I am very curious what mileage they're getting, and also whether this van has a table of any kind. I'd also like to know the detailed specs of the electrical system.

What’s the average mpg? Assuming that your mostly in 2wd.
@Weretherussos 4 жыл бұрын
We got 11 mpg going up and down the mountains. We didn't really get out on long flat stretches of highway, so my guess is that the MPG would improve a bit. Considering the weight, lift, large tires and roof racks, we were happy with it.

How are these reviews independent? If they give you the van to use for free how could you possibly complain. "You say one bad thing about our van, we're going to tell you to bring it back, just remember that"
@Weretherussos 4 жыл бұрын
We're under no obligation to say anything good about the van. This also isn't a review per se, I'm simply showing everyone the different features of the van. While I give a few thoughts about it at the end, I've left it to the viewer to make up their own mind.
