[@CarlCrumley]

It was fun seeing Van Life Luke again. I'm going back through some of your older videos because I just purchased a '21 G that's similar to yours. I've been living in a travel trailer and pulling it with a pickup truck but decided to park those on my lot in Florida and travel in my Travato for easier and nimbler movement. I made this move because of your "stretch the ruler out and see where you are on the timeline" exercise, and found I'm WAY on the short end. No more time to waste!

[@gosmall.livelarge]

RIGHT ON CARL !!!! WOW 🤩 so very happy about your decision. I may make you the “poster child” for an upcoming What’s Up Wednesday?! (WuW) show topic. thx a ton for sharing sir!

[@cynthiaschaeffer650]

Thanks for the thorough overview of the “bedroom”, Scott. Very helpful as I’m having trouble deciding which Travato layout I prefer. One tip for you, in case you ever spill wine on upholstery (or carpet, clothes...) again, there’s a product called Wine Away which miraculously removes wine stains, almost instantly and without scrubbing. If you drink a lot of wine, it’s a good product to keep on board for emergencies :-)

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Love remedies for onboard emergencies!! Thx CS

[@allgoodnow4884]

I bought 3/4 size sheets and mattress pad. Worked well. Needed more storage and decided to trade out. Anything adhesive tends to fall down. I purchased adhesive cargo pouches that helped and stayed on the wall while providing more storage options while in bed. Pseudo nightstands.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

[@stevebritt]

I'm amazed by the rate you are accumulating miles your Travato (50k already!). You seem to spend far more time driving and less time camping than any other RVer I've found on KZbin. You obviously believe it IS all about the journey :)

[@gosmall.livelarge]

So many things to see, do, and taste. I do move around a lot. Thx for watching, subscribing, and taking time to comment

[@clemmycat]

Very helpful information Scott! This helps to understand the actual size of the bed. Glad you stretched out on the bed to give an idea of the fit. The Murphy bed is a great concept in RV’s. It looks a bit too cramped for myself and my hubby though because we both need a lot of room. So you keep your pillows folded up inside the bed or in the overhead storage? It just occurred to me, dang, pillows actually take up a lot of room! Where does Luke sleep at night? Looks like a perfect cozy van life for you and Luke💖 🐾🐾🐱

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Pillows and comforter are stored in the bed when I fold the bed up. The Ginger Walkabout did a video on that subject as well. Give that look. Luke usually stays in the bed with me taking up most of the space! Appreciate you watching, subscribing and taking time to comment Mindy

[@patriciaelliesmama2672]

Hey Scott, Luke is just too cute!! As for the bed, I don't like that folded area, I know its needed to fold the bed back up. It just reminds me of a sleeper sofa that I had when I was a teenager, a jack-knife style, and I always ended up in the split. Now that I'm older I don't think I want that experience again.... lol Thank you again for sharing the advantages and disadvantages of your rig and your art gallery wall....

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thank you for sharing PEM2 !

[@salolynda]

As I comment before we are 4 inside our Travato 59g and the bed in the back as the bed in the dining area fit well two people each. I sleep with my daughter and my husband sleep with my son. So depends if you are a move sleeper person can be difficult but if you are more quiet person it’s not problem at all. There are some times my husband and I sleep in the Murphy bed and its comfortable. Also we are outside doing so much activity that really when we go to sleep we are really tired. So in my experience this car can fit 4 people without any problem.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Super awesome testimonial Salonlynda. Thx for watching, subscribing, and taking time to comment :)

[@bluegirldeb2099]

Thanks for the detailed video of the bedroom area. Now I have a better idea of the actual sleep area, since it was nighttime. Glad you can cover up those windows. I think the thing that would creep me out is not being able to lock up the van totally before sleeping and is the reason sleeping in a small space doesn't appeal to me.. but everything else does!

[@gosmall.livelarge]

One can definelty cover up ALL of the windows and lock the van. I just choose to leave some of the windows uncovered.

[@tarac5137]

Thanks for the informative videos! Both FitRV and Technomadia sleep two people in the G bed, but neither are full-time. It does seem like you should be coordinated sleepers. Ginger Walkabout does a nice video on putting up the bed with sheets on (and a topper?). 🚐

[@gosmall.livelarge]

You are correct about The Ginger Walkabout. And the front dinette can be converted to a 4'x6' bed for a person as well. Appreciate you watching, subscribing and taking time to comment Tara

[@lbvaliq]

Scott, I thought I was definitely going to get the KL until I saw you and Kevin compare living spaces on his channel so I decided to investigate the GL more thoroughly and your channel as well. Glad I did. I am going to ask a question that may seem odd: I really want to have a spare tire but so far the only option I have found requires giving up the rear tow hood and the patio LPG connect. Doesn't seem like we should have to do that. I guess these are 16" tires unless one has the NPE (I won't be ordering one.). To keep all of my features, what about putting the spare in a zippered cover and storing it under the murphy bed -- opposite wall of the sliding floor cabinets unless needed. Hopefully I won't be smelling toxic tire if the case is fairly good but I would appreciate feedback from anyone who knows or anyone who has a better idea. I would love to put it on the rear passenger door but know nothing about reinforcing hinges for the added weight etc. Thanks Scott and viewers.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

thrilled Linda to know we had a small part of your Travato journey. I’m confident you will love your Travato GL!!! Spare tire... useless until you need it right. I don’t think putting a spare tire in your hallway / garage storage would work simply because is won’t fit. Some have utilized the tow hitch to put a spare tire on the mount that Attaches to the hitch. I choose to upgrade the tires to take more punishment reducing a tire issue. It is in the back of my mind. Worst case is you utilized the pressurized tire glue inflation kit that comes with your Promaster and/or call roadside assistance. Maybe someone has other options?

[@cuorips]

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thanks you Catherine for taking his advice! Welcome to the Channel :)

[@holalulis1032]

I like almost everything about the G, except for the sink, type of micro, and no built in step up to the tall bed. When i buy my Travato, I was thinking the K, but after seeing your videos, I've changed my goal to a G. Hope they change the sink style, micro to convection, and build some type of step up to the bed. Thanks.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Wow... can’t go wrong with either. Taking time to think through HOW you will use your RV is super critical. Excited for your journey

[@stevebritt]

Another informative video - thank you. It does seem like the "G" is designed to be ideal for a single full-timer. I wonder how much narrower Winnebago could make the unusually large bathroom without hampering the use of the toilet and shower? Perhaps Winnebago needs a third floorplan for the Travato, one with smaller bathroom and a wider murphy bed so it could be ideal for two full-timers.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Hi Stephen. Floor plan is so important to a great RV experience. Check out this amazing van in Europe, kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJeTkGiYfNFnfac

[@stevebritt]

@@gosmall.livelarge Thank you for the reply. I watched the euro RV video. The standard B models did have most but not all the features of a Travato, but they did have some cool features of their own. The convertible bathroom seems like a great idea. A lithium system did not appear to be available there. It is interesting the RV prices appear to be lower in Europe.

WGO really needs to move the "reading" lights on the door to somewhere in the van bed area... if you put up the snap in bug net -- the lights are outside the net... and most lights need to be dimmable ...no feng shui there ;-) the strap mods folks do the passenger side handle to be able to get out without fumbling around should be a standard feature..

[@gosmall.livelarge]

[@cigarmann]

The Travato G floor plan still offers one of the best layouts of any Class B RV. The Embassy sportsman still takes top honors.... although if they build mine there would be a couple of modifications

[@Parlorjam]

Love your videos. Thank you. We’re thinking of the 2022 GL, not sure if the extra 4” toward the end of the bed will help that much. It would’ve been nice if they kept the 2nd bed just in case. Maybe they’ll bring it back for 2022.5 model.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Time will tell. Some nice improvements. But others are questionable in my biased full-time 59G opinion.

[@danleonard3600]

This to me is the major problem with the G floor plan. It is really only a one person bed. It would not work for me. If you’re a solo traveler it’s probably fine. That’s why they make different floor plans. Different layouts for different needs.

Scott why do they make a g without the L. Especially paying so many $’s. Is the generator loud. Or do some people rather have a generator. Would that be because it’s all they know. Thanks

G vs GL gives customer options depending upon how they want to RV, I think John is the reason. Modern generators are less noises, but still make sound and vibration. Litthium is silent

Im a big TV user, is it possible to mount a tv in front of the bed? Have you ever seen it done?

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Haven't seen it done. The space on the wall at the end of the bed (opposite cargo doors) may allow for a small TV, and I mean like 15" maybe. That is because the mattress fold up constricting the available space when the Murphy bed is up. I use my 12.0" iPad Pro as a "TV" handing it from the wired basket fixed to the same wall. Works our pretty good then the bed is down.

I just purchased a 2014 Travato G.

I see the newer models have slightly higher beds and more storage below...I'm jealous. I'm currently mapping out how to do storage below the bed. I'm leaning towards covered bins which will be in the hallway during the day. I too like to "make" my bed each day....what is it about putting it up that makes it seem better????
