As someone looking into purchasing a van I was shocked how people say it’s normal to expect problems with RVs. When you are spending over $130k for a small van I should not expect problems right away.

[@NealBritt]

We definitely agree. Unfortunately seems to be the industry as a whole. We have been lucky with our 22 Winnebago Travato 59gl though in the last year.

[@Erin-Thor]

Watch a few of the “how it’s made” or “RV plant tour” videos. The workers aren’t just rushed, they are in full-tilt Bozo mode. You’ll see (Trailer/5w) kitchen cabinets go up in 5 minutes, all the trim in the entire RV in the same time, it’s scary. Also look at the RV delivery driver videos, there’s a reason why most manufacturers don’t mount TV’s, they fall off walls. The things the drivers see are also scary.

[@canihelpyou9067]

so glad youtube brought me to your channel. looking forward to seeing your journey in the travato.

[@NealBritt]

Thank you for your kind words! We have lots of plans and places to see in the Travato! Glad you are along for the journey!

[@samp.a.3445]

Thanks for sharing and sharing the journey. Keep them coming.

[@NealBritt]

Will do! Thanks for watching! We appreciate it!

[@peavina]

You are correct. If anyone walked in to a Mercedes dealership and was ready to plunk down $130K on an S class and it had "RV quality" you'd walk out

[@NealBritt]

💯 And it has honestly just gotten even worse since we filmed this video. We have seen some things and dealt with quality control issues that are just flat out dangerous.

[@toycarcollector]

We have a 2019 Travato and we love it. The disappointment we have is that it looks like when they assemble the van they use power screw guns and a good portion of the screws are not straight in or too close to edges and the wood they are driven into is too thin to hold. Also Winnebago warranty is too short. Really not sure any other brand is any different. There are always trade offs. We had an issue with the Truma dial and called the company. The fix was to put a tiny bit of aluminum foil inside the knob so that it was out from the control stem a tad. Apparently the hole in the knob or dial was too deep. Also once the heat would not come on but we pulled out the fuse and put it back and it was fine.

[@NealBritt]

Hey, thanks for the comment! Yeah we had that issue with the Ethos when it comes to the Truma, but luckily everything has worked great in our Travato. The warranty is short, unfortunately like you said, is that way on most of them. The warranty on the Volta Pure3 system is great though, so that is a huge plus.

[@madeleinegombert661]

Thank You For Your Honesty!

[@gbond1268]

I've used a Marcel by Sensored Life for 5 years as a temp monitor in RV. Works on Verizon network, alerts you if temp, humidity go out of range you set. Also alerts if power goes out and has back up battery. The service is about $100/year. Its been accurate and reliable for me.

[@NealBritt]

That is an excellent price and the fact it runs on cellular data is perfect! We will be checking it out this evening! Thank you for the recommendation! 😁

[@trifecta0074]

Completely agree Neal. I work for a Fortune 500. There is NO WAY that my company would allow me to have such disregard for service. My whole role as a Materials Manager is to have my team proactively identify and mitigate risk, to get to the root cause of problems and prevent them in the future. Everyone should hold the RV industry to a continuous improvement standard. I wonder if part of the issue is the huge consolidation of the industry.... Anti-trust?!?! Sorry to hear about the issues that you had with perhaps some hasty buying decisions and lack of quality control. How a manufacturer could allow a unit to leave w/o finding all issues and how a huge distributor could not only mess up your LP system but then not catch it before selling it.... Quite shocking. I'd be fired if I allowed that in my job. I'm in the market for an RV and am doing tons of research in order to hone in on what I want and staying away from problem manufacturers. Thanks for the insight. Safe travels and best of luck.

[@NealBritt]

Thank you for your comment! Seems like we have similar backgrounds and I'm right their with you, I would have been let go for sure if I ever let this take place. We have loved and learned, and have been tremendously happy spending more money on the Winnebago Travato we upgraded too. We are looking for a tow behind now to add to the fleet, and unfortunately they have even worse quality control since they are not built on big automotive brand chassis. Best of luck in your search. Remember to make a list of questions when checking out different rigs and if you decide on one, another long list of questions and really inspect it. Make sure they look at everything you ask them to and address each item.

[@trifecta0074]

@@NealBritt Thanks dude. I would prefer to tow my RAV4 so I can do day trips and not drive the rig while seeing the local area. However, nearly all of the Class Bs don't have quite the towing capacity needed which may lead me down the path of the B+/small Cs. However, I am not closing out the Class Bs just yet. Always good to know the pros and cons, understand what's critical and non-critical, and keep an open mind. :)

[@NealBritt]

Yeah not sure the RAV4 weight but only a Mercedes chassis may be able to handle that weight (Mercedes chassis have a 5000lbs towing capacity on most). A class C would probably be best. That is why we are looking at a tow behind (already have a new truck to tow it), so while Britt is on travel nurse assignments I can get errands done during the day with a separate vehicle while she sleeps. Keep us posted if you end up getting something and reach out if you have any questions. We looked into every option and class, so we have gained a decent about of knowledge.

[@trifecta0074]

@@NealBritt Thanks Neal. So nice of you to offer up advice. So far I have somewhat narrowed it down to a Thor Compass/Gemini 23TE, Forest River TS2381 (don't think it can tow my RAV4 -- 3750 lbs), Winnebago Navion/View, Leisure Travel Wonder and a few others. One thing I don't want to do is make a hasty choice on a $100k+ config and then have major regrets. Have my concerns about the quality of Thor products, which are not helped by your first experience. lol

[@trifecta0074]

Keeping an open mind though

[@phallyvin2986]

I was going to buy ethos… now I have to do more research on it

[@NealBritt]

Ours was a first year model, hopefully they have fixed all of their issues! We always recommend joining the owners groups on facebook to get the most recent issues people have :)

[@rickryczkowski6965]

You guys seem great. I served on active duty with the NM Army Guard for 14 yrs. And loved NM. Sorry your ethos experience was not great. I am interested in the same model and since 2022 Jayco has a 100% PDI factory. Saw that on a press release. I also watched a coachmen factory tour and they don't insulate the rear door either. The rep said it's for safety, no obstruction for the exit to work. Keep up the good work on your channel!

[@NealBritt]

Thanks for watching and the kind words! Yeah, we love NM for sure. Since we had a first year model, I’m sure they worked out the majority of the major issues. It’s unfortunately the whole industry, only a few manufacturers are still doing quality work and have true QC. I’d recommend checking out Noovo Vans. They have been around for a few years, but truly blow all of the big manufacturers out of the water in quality and customer service. The team there is more like a family. We will be headed to their HQ in Vegas at the end of May to film some of their vans and the factory. We have spent the last few years searching for quality builders/ manufacturers and they are at the top of the list for us. noovolife.com/

[@SpringTVgaja]

Good advice❤ Thank you

[@NealBritt]

You're welcome! 💯

[@christopherlaboy9377]

Now correct me if I'm wrong; but the Lithium package is coming in over 26k by itself? I'm looking at the Thor Tellaro myself, but with a Jackery 1000, and Jackery 1500 and 6 - 100W Saga's the only upgrade that I can see here is adding the Battle Born LifePO4's with Victron's Power Management System and a HD Mechman Alternator for 1/5 less the cost.

[@NealBritt]

That is correct. You can most certainly put together a similar or even better system together for cheaper. For us it was time constraints always being on the road bouncing across the country for Britt's travel nurse job. Eventually we will get a diesel Mercedes 4x4 and build it out ourselves. We will probably do a 6-8 lion energy LiFePO4 battery array (can get two 100watt lion energy for 1200-1300 when on sale at Costco/sam's) with as many watts of solar panels I can get on the roof, mppt controller, inverter,etc. If you have the time, know how, or are willing to learn, I'd definitely recommend saving money and building out a system yourself to save some good money.

[@brianbarry1622]

Enjoy watching your video. They must have hit you hard on the trade-in of a brand new coach. I would love to upgrade to a lithium travato but the trade in value would kill me.

[@NealBritt]

We were lucky and made out okay. Got what we were looking for just about. With the high demand for RVs we had decent leverage.

[@BlueSky-mw7fn]

Thanks for the sharing. Could you share more info about your Volta system, what is the size of the lithium battery ? Since it is the newest model just released, would you mind sharing the purchase price ? Thanks again for your info.

[@NealBritt]

Thanks for the great questions. I'm actually going to be recording a more in depth video on the Volta Pure 3 system tomorrow. I tested it out today for run time and will do that tomorrow again, while explaining the system, so everyone can see it in a real time setting.

[@sccphilly]

Guys how does the promaster drive? Is it slow. Did you do any reliability research on the engine/transmission? Can it pass a slower moving semi truck on the highway safely? Thanks guys, stay safe out there!

[@NealBritt]

It handles great for a tall rig. The engine is very reliable and I would recommend them to anyone. As far as acceleration it is a tad slow lol. But once you get up to about 50mph you can speed past anyone and up to 70/75mph no problem. Hope that helps and we appreciate you watching our travels!

[@stevemurray2737]

Coachmen Beyond D: (Actually a pretty nice Forest River).That’s it. Other than that, go Custom. The Big Three, Winnebago, Forest River and Thor. Nope.

[@NealBritt]

Even though we are in a Winnebago Ekko now (which we love the layout & concept), we agree when it comes to the big manufacturers. The state of the industry is dismal to say the least.

[@liaodesign]

It’s really about the dealer you purchased your RV as first time owner and new to RV I have Thor tellaro 20at because I want the poptop. Thor is mediocre on quality, Winniebago probably have higher build quality but still there are lots quality complaints about it cheap materials like most of RV. So end of day is the dealer where you buy your RV that gonna make different. But any trip to repair especially with covid is just trouble and hassle.

[@smallnuts2]

I'm thinking of going truck camper route. Seems $100k plus is a lot of money to have problems and be stranded. Where with a truck camper, after high mileage, get a new truck and still have a place to sleep and cook, bathroom etc.. Trailers you have to worry about registration, pack wheel bearings , flat tire and parking. I've also heard since trailers dont have suspension things rattle loose over time from road vibrations.

[@NealBritt]

Fully agree with you on that! We love truck campers and was our original plan, but Brittany wanted to go the van route. Our new Storyteller van is top notch quality wise, but MUCH more expensive as you said. We have a few truck campers in mine for the future! I (Neal) really want to go that route one day!

[@sbslider6]

I've only done a bit a research into travel vans, but my first takeaway was that a battery based system would never last even a hot day off of hook ups due to the power demand of the A/C. What sort of success have you had boondocking and running A/C on a hot day?

[@NealBritt]

In our Winnebago travato and Winnebago Ekko we have over 600amp hours of lithium batteries which get us 6-7hrs on one charge if running the air con set at 70 low (if we set on auto low we’d get longer, it shuts off when it reaches the set temp and turns back on when it needs to cool the area again). We have a second alternator in each that charge up the house batteries when the engine is on, so we can then turn the rigs on to charge the batteries up fairly quick. The system in our travato charges in about a hour to a hour & a half to full. Our Ekko takes much longer (Ekko is a 12v system and the travato is a 48v system, so that’s the difference in charge rates). If you have 600-1000amp hours of lithium batteries and a 12v ac you can run the ac 24-30hrs. But a 12v a/c is not as strong. So it all depending on your lithium battery bank size and if you have a 12v or standard 120v air conditioner. We primarily boondock and spend most of our summers in 100 degree plus weather. Never any issues. During the day we are always out exploring different areas, etc so we are charging the batteries while driving. We always run our air con over night on the auto low setting and sit at 70 degrees with plenty of battery to spare in the morning.

[@sbslider6]

Thanks for the prompt response! Do I understand right, that your Travato has 4 times the energy storage (in watt hours) as the Ekko? 12V*600 amp hours is 7200 watt hours, and 48V*600 amp hours is 28800 watt hours. The latter should last a VERY LONG time for sure ! @@NealBritt

[@NealBritt]

@sbslider6 You’re welcome. Our travato is the 3 cell Volta lithium system, which is around 700amp hour equivalent. Our Ekko is 640 amp hours. Our Ekko is a little more efficient, so it last a little longer if comparing AC run times. But the travato having a 48v system means it recharges incredibly fast from the second alternator. If we compare systems, the recharge rate from the 2nd alternator is the big difference. In our Ekko we have a 2nd alternator and dc-dc charger, so we can charge 20% to 100% in around 4hrs of driving (not 100% sure on the exact timing since we never truly pay attention to it or put it to the test for a video as of yet). In our Travato we can charge 20% to 100% in about 1 - 1 1/2hrs. That’s truly the big difference with the 12v to 48v systems. Another difference is the Ekko can charge while idling. The travato has to ramp up the rpms to charge, but has a feature to do that when parked.

[@borandell9915]

I just looked at a 2023 Entegra Ethos. Doesn't seem like the design changed any over the 2022. It's on sale for $108K. Looks nice. And seems like a pretty good price. It is at the La Mesa RV in here in Albuquerque. Thanks for the information.

[@NealBritt]

Thanks for watching and glad we could provide some info! That is where we purchased ours. Great sales experience and paid much less than current units. The service and quality were the main issue, but I’m sure they have fixed a bunch of the QC issues by now I’d imagine.

[@borandell9915]

@@NealBritt Yes. I have a great salesman, Ty. He is actually teaching me a lot about the different options out there. I'm really interested in getting this. Are you still happy with the size of the B Class? I'll watch some of your recent videos to catch up with you. Great videos BTW.

[@NealBritt]

We ended up getting into the Winnebago Travato 59GL and still have it, but rent it out. We are now in a Winnebago Ekko. Slightly bigger, but better for us and the two cats space wise. Plus it has a few things like a huge garage space for our e-bikes. on demand hot water that we really like, and the two twins that can be made into a large king size bed in the back. They consider the Ekko a b plus (not really a thing, more of a marketing gimmick my manufacturers lol) because it’s smaller than a class c, but slightly larger than a class b because it has the cut away chassis. We really like the ford transit chassis over any other two. Very powerful and rides amazing. All wheel drive is nice too.

[@dkccurf158]

Interesting changes in your lives. Why did you go to WI to get your 59GL?

[@NealBritt]

At the time after scouring the country for weeks it was the only place that actively had one on the lot. They also gave us what we were asking for our previous van. Every dealer we called had all incoming stock already sold, any on their lots sold (only one with any on the lots other than where we went), and we enjoyed the team a lot that we spoke to in regards to the GL. We were preparing to head out of Florida soon at the time so we wanted to get into a new van while we were there with family and has access to store things, work on any upgrades, etc.

[@joer1757]

the manufactures truly need to be regulated. the profit margin is exorbitant. they are making a ridiculous amount of money. i have the same issues with my Jayco Swift (sister van) - bed supports, table broken (made with staples), refrigerator not working at all (bad wiring) windows not sealing, and window screens with big gaps. Blind spots warning not working, the list goes on.. but at least I have been getting responses from both Jayco and LaMesa, so it seems they will correct the issues. I just have to be patient.

[@NealBritt]

Sorry to hear that! Yeah, people have just let them do what they want for years now with very little accountability. At this point the manufacturers and the individuals that let them continue the terrible practices for years are both at fault. It's sad when people spend their hard earned money, be it 10k for a small travel trailer to 100k for a class B van, or even more for a big class A. Hopefully people will start to hold the manufacturers to a higher standard.

[@chrisjanick1741]

I almost bought an Entegra Ethos last week. I am now looking at a 2022 Winnebago Travato K. Is the Winnebago build quality that much better? Seems it cost more but has less. Very surprised there is no Wingard ConneT WiFi System. The Etegra seems to have more "smart" features. Your input and thoughts would be much appreciated! Thank you,

[@NealBritt]

We have a GL, so the added large lithium system. That was a big draw for us, as well as the different layout for our lifestyle (Britt is a travel nurse, so the "separate" bedroom area is better for us since she usually works nights. All RV manufacturers have issues, but I believe after the first year of production the tend to handle the large ones. I would say go with what fits your lifestyle the best and feels right. I believe Jayco (Entegra) has hammered out many of the issues and you'd be fine going with either. Customer service was great with Jayco for us. But I can say nothing compares to the Winnebago family. From corporate to other owners, there are so many helpful people and amazing events.

[@chrisjanick1741]

@@NealBritt thanks for getting back! I'm watching a bunch of your videos as I type. Does the lack of smart features of Winnebago matter? I mean the Jayco has an app that seems pretty cool. Start, control air and heat all from phone. Does that stuff mater or is it just fluff?

[@NealBritt]

With our Travato we can control the AC from our phones, but we like the placement of all the control all in one area. Very convenient. We also can monitor our Volta system, our lithium battery system, via an app. Haven't noticed a difference in convenience between either. But having the lithium model our system is much more advanced than a non lithium rig.

[@Rivercat0338]

This is a super helpful video for anyone considering a class B since the Ethos has a few things that look great on the surface. Britt, has anyone told you that you're a dead ringer for the tennis player Jess Pegula? 😁

[@NealBritt]

Thanks for the kind words! Nobody has told her that before, but she said it’s a compliment! The ethos we had was a first year model, so hopefully they have fixed the issues since then. But the RV industry isn’t known for quality materials for the most part, so we don’t have much faith 😂

Did you look into the coachman beyond LI3 ?

[@NealBritt]

Yeah, we did. We just were not a big fan of the layout and the Volta system is larger. So it allowed for more time off the grid. Looked like a great rig when we checked it out though and looked at it in person.

[@j.andrewwrinkle2172]

I could not agree more with your statement. Let me repeat that. I could not agree more with your statement. I have been wanting to throw down a couple hundred grand on an RV for years now but the quality is not worth my hard earned money. What we accept in the RV industry absolutely blows my mind. Could you imagine if I got in my S500, drove it off the lot and the headliner fell off the roof? The glove compartment lock fell off? The console armrest broke? PEOPLE. HEY. WAKE. UP. If you expect it, you’re going to get it. Hellllllllllllooooooooooooooooo?????

[@SamRadRV]

What on earth did they put in the propane tank?

[@NealBritt]

We discovered it was butane that had somehow been put into it. Since the system was designed for propane of course, the pressure required is different, resulting in the systems not working properly.

[@thebillbaker4793]

Hello my friend, thanks for answering the question of why you switched class b’s. I will say it is hard to beat a Winnebago. If you ever get a chance to visit their factory in Iowa.....you are gonna see how it’s done right. Stay thirsty my friend.

[@NealBritt]

We definitely want to get up there and visit. There were more issues on the build quality that I didn't go into, probably should have wrote it all down. May do another shirt video listing off it. I'm thinking with the complaints they have received they will be revamping the Ethos and making it better next year. The window latches and not sealing we never mentioned, but that was huge. As well as them not using the proper gauge wire for the fridge, so it would not work correctly. But we are beyond happy with the Travato and will definitely get up to Winnebago HQ to check out the factory tour when they are allowing them again.

[@trifecta0074]

@@NealBritt It's funny that you mentioned the insulation. In watching that ladder upgrade video, right away I thought, "Where the hell is the insulation?"... No wonder you guys were freezing in Florida w/o the furnace. Makes you wonder just how insulated the rest of the walls are... Perhaps these manufacturers don't sweat under-insulating their vans because of the standard furnaces. Or maybe they fill them w/ saw dust or paper like they did in early 20th century houses... I might look for a video to see if someone breaks open their 2020 or younger mass-produced van to see if there's any insulation in the walls.

[@NealBritt]

In the walls they had decent rockwool insulation and reflectix. But in the bag door it was just one layer of reflectix and that's all. Definitely not what I would do it a quality build lol.

3:53. “…that’s a sidenote“. No, actually it’s not. It’s not a sidenote. It should be the title of your video. The RV industry has zero quality control. Don’t get this twisted. I love the fact that you brought it up. I completely respect that…buttttttttttt…aren’t you part of the problem? Hear me out before you feel I have insulted you. That is not my intent. I have nothing but respect for you especially doing this video and those regarding your Entegra. I’ve had a wad of cash, and I do mean a wad, to spend on a Class B van for years and years and years but I refuse to give my hard earned money to a manufacture that could care less about me. So check this. What if everyone, including yourself, did what I did? Refused to spend any money within the RV industry segment until they got their sh*t together? I guarantee you you’d still be driving your Entegra with a big fat smile on your face because the manufacturers would RESPECT you. PEOPLE. The RV manufacturers are not the problem. YOU ARE. Stop buying these sh*t boxes on wheels and all of the problems that YOU are faced with as idiot consumers would go away. No disrespect, brother, but the last thing you should have done was purchase a “better” sh*t box.

[@NealBritt]

I agree with all, besides our new Storyteller. We were just talking about this with a very popular KZbinr at an event. We are looking at doing videos addressing this and trying to get other people to get involved. Quality and build wise the storyteller is light years ahead of every manufacturer we've seen out of the hundreds we've toured. I would have bought an empty van and built it out myself, if it wasn't for simply not having the time between assignments and work related time constraints. Also, most of the issues besides the horrible build quality by lots of the manufacturers is the components, which unfortunately would be what I'd be using in even my own build. I simply do not have the resources to design and build my own water pump, heater, a/c etc. Because all of those, no matter the manufacturer, have issues. We both agree though and have discussed this many times. We are part of the problem for sure. We do not feel that way with the storyteller, as the build is solid. From the insulation, aluminum construction for the shelves, etc are not like we've seen besides with a few other mom and pop companies like ModVans. But with the others we have purchased, we are just funding them to continue to build poor quality products not worth the price they ask.

[@j.andrewwrinkle2172]

@@NealBritt Storyteller. 1000% agree. I took one out three months ago and for the first time was impressed. They are in a completely different league and I’m hoping the other RV manufacturers take notice with their build quality. I had no idea you owned a Storyteller. Very happy for you.

No, we both do not work 9-5 jobs. I always leave it vague because the crowd that watches our videos is older and does not understand my type of work as well. We have it explained in our bio and in early videos though. I work from my computer, the gym, and attend sports expos (I am a sponsored athlete. Meaning I am paid to "play" a sport and post on social media about the sports supplements that the company I am sponsored by sells). I am lucky that I no longer have to go to a 9-5 life consuming job and I get paid to do something I love. As for Brittany, she also does not work a 9-5 jobs. She is a travel nurse and works 3 days a week when on contract. It's now been almost three months that she has been able to not work and enjoy life. She usually works one contract then takes a month to 3 or 4 off, whatever she likes. It's all about making smart career choices, good investments when young, and learning to turn doing what you love into a "job".
