You can definitely switch into 4 wheel drive going up to 40 to 50 mph. You only need to come to a stop to switch into 4 low. To do that you stop. Switch into Neutral, then switch from 4 high to 4 low. But going from 2 high to 4 high you can definitely just switch while you're driving...

UPDATE - The dead battery thing - Here in Steamboat we don't often lock our doors. Thus, I'm guessing some electrical items (stereo, lights, etc) may have been left on. I have since locked it with the key and that turns everything off. Have not had the issue since.

Cool use of the drone shots. Most places I go, drones are banned so to date I haven't invested in one, plus it would be hard to drive and control the drone at the same time... :) . One question, as a fellow Coloradan, I'm taking my Revel to Winter Park for our first trip with boondocking this weekend. You said you ran the battery down and had to jump start while running the Esbar all night. How did that happen? My understanding was that the chassis and coach batteries are not connected. Are you saying the Esbar runs off the chassis, not coach?
@Steamboatsmyhome
@Steamboatsmyhome 4 жыл бұрын
Great question. I can only assume I left some other electronics on as well (radio, lights, etc). I left the key in the coach and didn't lock it. Normally when you lock it everything is goes out. But that might not have been the case. I have since locked it every time and have not had the issue again.

And I don't check it now. Mainly driving around town. I'm hoping the mileage will improve over time. My commute is about 14 minutes so I'm not putting on that many miles. Small town commuting ; )

LAB - will sound a beep if you drift to R/L over the lanes. If you don't steer back into the lane, the van will actually apply the right or left brakes which will pull you back into the lane. Yes, a decent idea but I don't like it. I tend to optimize roads and conditions. Thus, I'm not a fan of this feature. And Yes, stopping sucks for 4x4. But, driving in 4X4 is like AWD so it's not bad.

Really enjoyed, nicely done and wonderful videography! We have taken our Promaster van in same snow conditions and it performed equally as well with no issues, but anything more extreme would likely be too much without chains. We should actually put on actual snow tires if we did this often (our tires are snow rated, but not full on snow tires). Still 4x4 offers much better clearance and that extra capability if/when needed, especially on rough or off roads. Curious if your coach batteries are inside the van or underneath (it looked like that was the case). Wish ours were inside. Note; we saw one video where folks said they had their DEF freeze, but they were in Alaska as I recall, and during a serious cold snap. Very nice van!

great video, going to be selling our Westy and getting a Revel as soon as we finish our move to Utah. Agree heated seats would be nice I replaced my VW seats with Recaro's and installed heaters when I put them in never use my heater now. I bet you could get aftermarket heaters for the Revel, my upholstery guy added quick connects so when I turn the seat around I unhook the wires and no problem. ENJOY

I will look into that. And the coach heater takes a while to get warm as well. Life in the Rocky Mountains : )

What is the coldest overnight temperature you started at? I was at Hahns Peak Roadhouse and started at zero degrees F. The local Colorado diesel guys all thought it should have a block heater. Do you wish you had one? Do they make Blizzard tires in LT?

In the negative for sure. Maybe -10?? No issues. I hear it's not until -20 to -30 that the DEF starts having issues

Hey Charlie, Great video. I'm interested it getting a Revel too. Was wondering how tall you are (I'm 6' 3") and how is the interior head room in the coach and headroom in cab? I know the Winnebago specs say 6'3" but am interested on your take. Thanks.

Hi Paul - I'm 6 foot. And it feel roomy. Driving it's not issue. Inside the coach, it's right at 6'3" or a shy less. The bed there's plenty of room.

Are the stock tires bf Goodrich ta ko2's? Looking for options for our sprinter. How is the road noise on open dry highway?

@Steamboatsmyhome 4 жыл бұрын
Yes, those are the tires. Again, they are decent in the snow. But yes, they are a little noisy in dry pavement,. I ended up buying some stock take offs from a 2019 Sprinter 4x4. Steel wheel and different tires. Better for snow. But I have not swapped them out this winter. Next year.

Thanks for sharing, I think that is the ultimate ski bum vehicle.. how long can you run the heater before having to start the vehicle to recharge the batteries? #ADVwithRoscoe
@Steamboatsmyhome
@Steamboatsmyhome 4 жыл бұрын
I don't know that yet. But the heater is fueled from the diesel so as long as you have fuel, I'd say a long time.

hi so with the 7 speed and the 4 wheel drive what kind of mileage? and how much solar do you have? and that is a 144 wheelbase? thanks
@Steamboatsmyhome
@Steamboatsmyhome 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Mike - They say the 7 speed should improve mileage but so for I'm just driving around town and it's not great. Maybe around 14-15. I don't often check for accuracy. The solar is 200 watts and that is stock. Yes, it's the 144 springs. Thanks

Dude, For the price, why doesn’t it have lithium batteries or generator, what if it’s 100 degrees outside and you need to run the roof ac with plugging in out in the woods? And then if you have a pet say a dog, like you’re going to varroa big enough portable generator with you to run the roof ac to sleep in hot humid weather! This revel is more for cold weather use. For the price, it doesn’t even have lithium? Just my opinion, I know you’re excited about your new revel, those are the facts. Tell me your opinion about my comment. Be safe using your revel bro!
@Steamboatsmyhome
@Steamboatsmyhome 4 жыл бұрын
I don't disagree and our plan in not really to take it to places where it's 100 degree. In fact, I wish I bough it without the AC. As for the lithium batteries, I hear they don't do that well in cold environments and the AGM's are the way to go in colder areas. In short, I started to price out a custom build and the price climbed up pretty fast. Is the Revel perfect? No even close. But for the money it's a solid ride that takes up on cool adventures.
