Ritz Carlton is more luxury than RSSC because the size of the ships... Ritz is more of yachts... RSSC has bigger ships.

Wow, 10K over MSRP, like the MSRP isn’t a rip off enough ! I wanted a certain van at the beginning of Covid, I think it was 5 K up front, a year and a half wait but the best part was “ we can’t guarantee a price “ which meant the price was definitely going to be higher but we don’t know by how much ! Just ridiculous all the way around. I hope your unity was worth it, I know the resale should be better than many other rigs out there
@DJTravels11 күн бұрын
Definitely a hard pill to swallow, but we don’t regret it so far! Definitely much better made than our last rig and truck combo. We had problems with those from the start. Just competed a 4600 mile shakedown trip, and the worst problem is one drawer that doesn’t stay closed while driving. Probably needs an adjustment to the soft close mechanism.
@rickytecon57268 күн бұрын
yeah it does suck for the people that ordered one and waited. Only for a market adjustment to raise the price many thousands of dollars. Not knocking this buyer though.

Google suggested this video. You guys seem great and your video had plenty of content, BUT very little context. Example you were driving through that nice town. Good video, not to cheesy background music. It was a very boring sequence. All it needed was a conversation with the viewer or passenger. Like: look at those cute houses, gee I wonder how old there are.ect. You did a clip of we went to Walmart. We'll did you get everything, was it a good store, ect. Your videos are so close to being enjoyable, please add context. Best of luck to you!

Good luck and safe travels. We hope to order one someday . I was curious how it does on long drives and maneuvers in some tight places.
@DJTravels14 күн бұрын
Long drives were a lot easier than pulling a fifth wheel (5 years ago). First three days were very long, and I did not feel beat up. Managing through city streets and even parking was no problem. At least where we visited on this trip. The van does not fit in a standard parking space, but if you back in to a spot that overhangs a grassy area, then you can make it fit. I made it a point to take videos and pictures of where we parked, and I will show that in future videos.

@@DJTravels Thank you. That's how I feel. We've been towing a 30' Artic Fox TT for almost ten years. It's a lot of work to set up and break camp. Towing over 300 miles a day is getting to be too much now. Wears me down.
@DJTravels13 күн бұрын
Yes! When we had the 5th wheel, setting up and breaking camp was not bad, but enough to make you want to stay extra nights to avoid doing it too much (sometimes a good thing). With this, most nights I would plug in the electric, turn on the propane, and be done with it. We can go 3 days on the fresh water, and a good 5 or 6 on the grey and black tanks. Could go longer on the fresh if we didn't forget to bring the 2 collapsible 5 gallon storage containers we bought! In later videos, we stay at several no hook-up Harvest Hosts, and this rig worked very well. I would still keep it under 250 miles/day or 4 hours if I were doing consecutive travel days. But a 6 - 8 hour drive followed by 2 - 3 days in the same spot is definitely doable.

@DJTravelsАй бұрын
If you look at our videos from way back 7 years ago, you will see that we traveled the country in a much larger RV. There are advantages to the larger space, but the downside is loss of spontaneity. With a smaller vehicle you can get into a lot of national and state parks, stop at more places on the side of the road at the spur of the moment and simply be more nimble. I will do a video segment about our thought process in choosing a class B+ in a future video. Two Vehicle....we don't know. We are going to travel without one for the next year to gauge the need. If we need one, we will find a use Honda CRV or something similar.
