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...

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?
@Steamboatsmyhome4 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.

Still 4x4 offers much better clearance and that extra capability if/when needed, especially on rough or off roads.

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!

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.
