Over the last 9 months, we have put our Winnebago Revel to the overlanding test. We began our journey in Eugene, Oregon and traveled all the way to Prudhoe Bay Alaska. We have explored 4 states, including Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii. We have also travelled through British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon, and Northwest Territories to Tuktoyaktuk. We absolutely love the beauty of Canada! In this video we talk about power, insulation, water, and how the Revel handles. Is it really a 4 season van? Join us and see our opinion. We are not sponsored by Winnebago. You can also find us on instagram and facebook @wingsandwheelsalaska .

We've really enjoyed your videos and they've been really helpful in our decision making process. We were at at the Florida RV show today and after looking at everything else, we were pretty well convinced that the Revel is for us as a photo safari/ exploration vehicle. Now to find a good deal :) Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.

Great job answering the question! I thought it was, but you three confirmed it. The shower part seems to be its only weak point. Glad you added insulation, I would too. Your video helped me refine my someday dream van. So far it'll be Pro master, Diesel, Espar Heater, Spray foam Insulation w/Vapor Barrier, Cassette Toilet, BFG K02 All-Terrain Tires, No Propane, DC Air Conditioner or Twin Fantastic Fans, Recirculating Shower, Raised Full Size & Reclining Bed, 30+ Gallons Water Tank with in-line FIlter, Iso Therm Fridge & separate Freezer flush with Metal Counter top, Cell Phone & Wi-Fi Signal Booster, 400+ Watts of Solar panels are on a roof storage box, 200+ AH Lithium Ion Batteries, 2000+ Watts Pure Sine Inverter, Access ports are below or within the back area of the van, Convection Microwave w/Rooftop venting....Someday I'll hit the jackpot :)

That sounds like a sweet setup. We are still torn on wether to keep the AC or go to a second max air fan. This past week we actually stayed at a campground and plugged in and the AC was ok but I think we would be better off with the second max air fan. We will see... we plan to do some upgrades once the border reopens and we can head south for a little bit :)

I've been full timing in my van in Scotland for a few years now and have LifePo4's with a Votronic 12-12-90. It makes all the difference charging the batteries quickly. I was able to hook it directly in without making any other changes to the in-built system and all works 100%. Lithium's take much more amps in than regular batteries which is especially useful in winter. Thanks for the video.

We have to modify our entire setup to go to lithium so not an easy task. We really would like to but the AGMs are better in the cold where they are currently located. Lithium wouldn't do well exposed to the elements. We will keep everyone updated as we figure it out! Thank you so much for the feedback.

Wow, what a great video, and so much helpful info on cold weather use. I bought the RB components insulated snap in partition that attached to my headliner shelf and perimeter. I really like it. It was ridiculously expensive but it checks the boxes and has an easy zip-open passage way. I don't use my van as much as you guys but it really keeps the heat up front when driving in the Alaska cold too. I would be happy to show it to you installed sometime if you want. Thank you Guys!

I like you two boon dock as they say because it makes the scenery more enjoyable when you are out in the middle of no where. Plus it’s quiet. That’s what makes it nice. I found this video.

Thank you for your very concise and straight forward travel video. Nicely narrated and paced, without the annoying and loud music stings some videos start off with. And your drone shots were amazing too! Your experience using a cassette toilet and eliminating the black water tank was really informative. Certainly keeps the weight down, not having to haul dirty water! Living in Montreal, I go on some long winter road trips too, so your tips are appreciated. Cheers and Happy Trails!

Thank YOU for your honest feedback! We do try to keep our videos "raw". When it comes to music it's usually selected based on the feel of the video and sometimes what we are feeling personally at that time. This was the first video where we actually made a list of what we wanted to talk about, but we still didn't script it. I think there's a lot we forgot to say so we plan on covering that when we do our 12 month review which is coming up soon. We appreciate you stopping in and telling us about yourself and staying connected. It helps motivate us to keep going. Thank you! 😊

I also poop in a bag and P in a bottle and a big plastic one of the half gallon and I have gray tanks and black tanks but I only use my gray tank just like you guys. Just because I don’t want to mess. It was fun watching you guys and I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself be at peace and enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy

You've got the SET UP!....but why the bags? So thankful that even when I have a hike in the woods and that comes up I don't have to use a bag....like...ever, even before we had the Van. 😁. Nothing against grey tanks or black tanks ( have used all in the past with a class A, just super thankful we don't have to anymore.) It's ALL about the fun and how exactly we enjoy our adventures. Enjoy YOU as well, thank you for having goofy fun with us while we figure it all out.

We traveled to alaska last year and we brought 4, 100 % wool blankets and what we did when it got in the low temperatures in October we clip the the wool blankets, around the bed area over reflective insulation , that kept us warm in alaska and canada. We also have reflective on our windows for insulationthey worked quite well. We travel with two dogs so we put fleece sweaters on them to keep them warm. The rv was covered with snow and ice but we were toasty inside the rv. My husband put a rhino type coating on the floor to keep our floor warm, because our rv is all aluminum from roof to floor. We have also a carpets on our floor and some type of sealer on the roof which has helped with cold and heat. Our next project will be insulting under the belly and pipes. We found the 100 % wool blankets in alaska, they are hard to find in the states.

Hi Dora, We do a similar thing by blocking off the cab with wool blankets in the winter. Does a fantastic job. We use carpet in the winter as well and take it out during the summer. We will probably put a layer below the carpet this winter to add a bit more insulation but the carpet did wonders. We found that putting our shades over the windows caused condensation so we did not do that during winter just relied on the wool blankets. Thank you for your recommendations and we hope you are doing well!

I lived in North Pole Alaska for 8 years and had a Ford Diesel pickup the whole time. I did get all m y fluids swapped out with Arctic fluids, like for the differentials and the transmission. Also since I did not have a garage, I had heater pads for my batteries and oil pan. Lastly in Alaska we get our tires sipped normally so we have better traction on ice. My time was 87 to 95, so hopefully my memory is pretty correct. We didn't have DEF fluids back then, so I cannot speak to that! Coldest temperatures I saw locally was -62 Degrees. I did regularly travel to Anchorage and Soldotna all year. Sometimes the snow would be pretty deep but my 4 wheeler could handle it without any issues.

In addition to the DEF tank, make sure you find a way to treat/heat the feedlines and DEF injector. Odds are fair that you froze the feedline before the tank. Your injector was probably fine since it's connected to the hot exhaust (I think). I enjoy your content. Keep up the good work!

My Mom & Dad had 2 class A Winnebago's. The first was a 1973 Dodge gas they had for years. My Dad put it in the front of the house with a for sale sign on it about an hour later this hippy couple took one look at it and bought it. They said they have never seen an all original vintage Winnebago so clean and called it mint condition. My Dad retired early age 55 and bought an Itasca diesel and had that for 20 years. They never had any major problems with either one of them. I've seen so many problems with Fleetwood and forest river rv's. If I had the financial abillity I would buy a Revel in a second and live on it full time.

Jim used to swear up and down he would never get an RV much less a van that is much smaller. As avid motorcyclists we spent a lot of time tent camping under the stars and this decision just took a bit of work in order to convince him. Now we are 100% satisfied with the decision. One thing worth trying would be to rent one and show the wife how amazing it can be out in the middle of nowhere escaping and having all the amenities that you need!

For me was the refilling of the onboard PROPANE tank on my Travato, especially in the cold months, i was an expert on where propane fill ups where. What a stress and the ability to unload the black tank in in ground stations only! The Revel is SO MUCH more convenience to empty the cassette in any public park toilet, public bathroom etc or a black tank hole in the ground etc........ I was UNAWARE there was a way to insulate the def tank, thats a PLUS! Ive already checked out my options the week of my REVEL purchase, adding the rear large fridge/freezer, rear outside aluminess cabinet with two overhead gas cans, long range emergency radio/GPS beacon with visual high altitude locator ballon with manual/automatic deployment, sate-light phone, cell heavy duty signal booster with Wi fi mile extender, front and rear bumper/grill protector with hidden warn winch (requires rework of auto cruise mech..) Ram mount with Lagun table at door, distress ham radio with extended range booster, inboard electronics safe in cabinet, tiny generator/honda/Yamaha WO way camera system (OWL) emergency kit, tactical and maintenance tools/bear spray, survival pack, ability to stay off grid for three months at a time easily:) Fuel and food runs thats it! research, research, because im buying big ONCE only! My TRAVATO was great for onroad minus that DREADFULL propane fridge which WINNEBAGO finally agreed was CRAP on paper and changed all their fridges to compressor based ONLY now:) I was thinking to just have four wheel drive added, however at $30,000 additional, im just buying the REVEL:)

That is a nice setup! We love some of the aluminess products and will probably do the cabinet when we decide to head to south america so we can add the generator. We like the backwoods bumper (winch and lighting) trying to decide when we will pull the trigger on that purchase. We thought about doing that table also but not sure that we really need it. We really liked the travato and spent a lot of time with friends that had them over the summer but we are much happier with what the Revel provides! Congratulations on making the purchase you will be extremely happy!

Interesting note about the floor. We have a Roadtrek Chevrolet Popular 190 with a fibreglass floor. There is no insulation underneath of the van so it lets in heat and allows the cold to suck the heat out of the interior. The driveline puts out a lot of heat for over an hour after parking so it's worth insulating for that plus cold nights. It is possible to install a lift and/or 4x4 on the Roadtrek but you would have gasoline instead of diesel. Diesel is way better in the winter with no loss of fuel economy.
@WingsandWheelsAlaska
@WingsandWheelsAlaska 4 жыл бұрын
We do prefer the diesel. The heat loss is absolutely worse when we have been sitting for awhile even though the tanks are heated that doesn't help much with the floor. Just a layer of insulation (like our carpet) has proven its value. We will add another layer under the carpet for the next winter :) . Thanks for watching!

True...no one should have to be insulating their advertised "4-Season" RV...especially something that's so outrageously expensive. And seeing those gaps in the factory-installed "insulation" (or missing insulation), Winnebago should be thoroughly embarrassed about that. After all, THEY are supposed to be the "RV experts" (been building RVs for how many decades now?) and already have anything that needs insulating attended to. All the owner should have to do is enjoy it... I'm looking forward to what the "B-Makers" will be offering for 2021 when it comes to "4-Season" models (and AWD as well, such as being offered for the 2020 Ford Transit as I don't want a MB Sprinter/diesel Class B). -- BR

Coachment and Panoramic...TMK, those two B-Makers are the most likely to offer "4x4" models in 2021 -- that aren't on a MB Sprinter 4x4 chassis. ;-)

Here in Fairbanks we use the heater in the engine bay which is thermostat set. Once it gets down to the temperatures set on the heater it fire's up and heat's the cooling/heating system up circulating the liquid through out the entire system to a certain temperature and shut down again. It is a bit spendy but if you are out in the boonies with no generator or shore power you don't have to worry about if it's going to start up.

I would agree bardamu but we are a rarity when it comes to pushing extremes. The Revel has skyrocketed now due to demand and the change to the lithium batteries which have been vastly upgraded. I can’t speak to the insulation in the 2021 since we do not have that model but they did listen to the customer and moved a lot of stuff to the interior so that is great that they are listening. Upgrading the insulation for us was kind of expected as very few companies will build something to withstand Alaska. They did a good job just a few finishing touches that make it even better for our needs which most people won’t experience. We are not sponsored by any means and it is great that Winnebago is listening to the customers. Thanks for watching and we are happy to answer any questions you may have.

All depends on what you are prepared for and what you know how to do. I know that is not the perfect answer but really hard to be prepared for every situation :)

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience and the list of products you recommended. I am a future RV owner, my 2 choices are Boldt or Revel. My first choice is boldt but with your reviews, I am quite open to revel now. I am considering using RV as my primary vehicle and have watch enough video to know Revel is doable. I do have a question about taking care of the RV roof during winter. The place I live has a long winter although extreme cold lasted about 1 month per year. With the snow load, do you have to clean your roof every time there's accumulation of snow on the roof? If there any product out there that you can keep your roof covered if you are not moving for a few days in winter? I am especially concern about this as I don't have a covered parking space.Appreciate any advise.

I thought my demographics may interest you, 58, middle class, was driving tractor at 11 years old, so, your video was great because of the blend. When you camped you didn’t “over film” it. Then you switched gears to the snow boarding, lifts, risky skiing in trees. That was way different and cool compared to the other videos. I know you’re smarter then me, but, I really believe the camp destination, activity, camp , different activity is brilliant format you should follow to separate from group, not lecturing, stay cool.

Agreed, it's tight side by side. Most are concerned with the height but we are definitely cuddled up. I'm a side sleeper and I don't move around a lot. Jim "flips" in his sleep, like a fish. Yeah, I'm exposing all his secrets but it's true. If you're not a peaceful, restful sleeper it is tight, but it's a cozy tight if that makes sense. I think if you're looking to full time and you already know you need a larger bed based on how you sleep then it totally makes sense to go with other options. If its a weekend or a week here and there? It's doable. For us, after we upgraded the mattress, (I think I made it about an Inch wider than stock mattress, it feels like a cozy fort).
