Full Review | 2020 Thor Sequence | There's a New Kid in Town Travato!

[@Ultramobility]

CORRECTION: The usable LP tank size on the Sequence is 16LBS not 16 gallons. My apologies everyone! How do you think the new Sequence compares with the Travato?

[@alliejr]

It compares well. In fact, I am shocked. I like the Sequence. I love the automotive exterior. From my (limited) knowledge of fluid dynamics, galley windows open and rear exhaust fan should create a nice interior airflow through the bedroom. I just wish it were all electric rather than using a gas generator and (huge) propane heating/cooking tank.

[@roundstone2020]

It's a great value and will push Winnie to work harder and price better

[@Ultramobility]

@alliejr - please see my correction on the propane tank size!

[@ryanbirr1668]

How many gallons is that? Just for direct comparison.

[@transporter78213]

I'm a bit confused with the bed size of 54"×76", considering you mentioned the individual sleepers are 30" each without the extension.

[@vince8705]

Neil, thank you for this review, I’ve watched it dozens of times, as a result of this we purchased ours two days ago. Please find away to continue your reviews and discussions, they are very insightful.

[@rogerreaney7746]

Wow Neil, once again you did an outstanding job with this review! Thank you so much Neil!

[@rogerz8051]

Having camped in warm weather in our Travato 59K for almost 4 years now, opening windows in the back by the beds is absolutely essential. We don't want to run the AC all the time. When it's raining for example, and our slider windows have to remain closed, we use Eurocamper vents in the chassis windows up front and the bathroom fan to pull some air back to the bedroom section. We combine that with small 12V fans. That is just barely adequate for sleeping. The acrylic awning windows in new T's do allow you to have ventilation even in the rain. I just cannot imagine trying to sleep in a hot, stuffy van as a normal practice since there's no way to open the windows beside the beds.

[@slptp]

Solid Review! Thanks for mentioning the windows. I was sold on this model over the Travato K(L) until you said the Thor windows don't open in the bed area. That's CRAZY. The shower curtain installation (and doors) are superior to the Travato though. T folks have been bugging Winnebago for this for a while. I bet a quarter that they'll change the windows on next year's model. edit: I contacted them about the rear bedroom windows and they said they would forward my request to the dev team. Don't know if that produces any weight, but if everyone did it, the following year might tack on back windows that open so go for it!

[@Primogen1]

Hey Neil, they have a great new floor plan for the sequence and really good news: They have the lithium upgrade now available for the Sequence, equal to the Boldt and National Park Edition of the Travato!

[@missy4663]

Another excellent review from Ultramobility. Great job!

[@CallMeChato]

Picking up a Pleasureway Lexor tomorrow. Liked the Trivato but preferred the lounge at the back and I’d be interested in seeing you drive the Thor. The Trivato had many rattles while driving while the Lexor had none which was the other main reason we went with it.

[@agavejon]

Hi Neil, great job on the reviews. Please also review the other Sequence floor plan "20K". That really looks like a fantastic layout with larger kitchen and lots of storage. Thanks.

[@nbragtop]

Another great video, Neil. Wife and I are always eager to see your reviews on just about anything. In the past 40+ yrs, we have had about 30 RV's from small to large 42 ft. & were class B's. Right now we are without and are seriously looking. Wife thinks maybe a Class A like a Breeze mainly because of the floor width for our Greyhound to turn around. I am thinking more like the Sequence so it can be treated like our 2nd car to drive regularly if needed. I am tired of paying for the real expensive yearly tags and ins. for a RV that is just sitting until you can use it for camping only. Right now we are leaning toward the Leisure Travel Wonder RTB for it's width and it in town drivability. or a rear twin bed like the Sequence. We had a 2014 Pleasureway Plateau XLMB with we loved. but when the bed was down and the dog needed out I had to make the wife get up so I could raise for the dog to get out the door. Maybe in the future you could address the floor widths for so many of us that have a large dog that has to turn around in. Thank you for all that you do!

[@Ultramobility]

love all the info that you have in this comment. 30 RVs?? wow you should be a consultant for my channel! i like the RTB from LTV. if space is a consideration then i would definitely look at b+/C class rather than b class offerings.

[@jeffvpoole]

Great review. I think Thor was smart and standardized on things that Travado nickel and dimes on. I hope Thor is listening here about the screen for the back and adding flip open rain proofed windows at least at the bottom of those beautiful windows (something that I’ve seen on airstreams). If they did that I’d go for one of these puppies and add lithium. I bet we’ll see Activ style class B vans coming out soon too...offshoots of Roadtrek and Hymer style class Bs. They needed to come out with an oblique shot across the bow of Winnebago given both of them as big boys. 😊 I hope they build a GL style class B because I like the front lounge for working better than what is provided in this K style but it still works better than Winnebago when you look at the standard items provided. I’m excited. Keep us updated when other models appear in this line of Thor’s.

[@Ultramobility]

i would hope that thor comes out with a sequence based on the 59g travato floor plan!

[@nuvoclassic]

@@Ultramobility I found it this week when I started researching Class B RVs with dinettes - so hard, but I found it! It's the: Thor Class B Sequence 20A (pop-top optional & , lithium battery optional) with cassette toilet!

[@Geecomp3]

Thanks for the review. Great job. We have a new KL and one thing that the Sequence seems to have vs the Travato is a factory pull around shower curtain. I had to engineer one for our KL . Winnebagos OEM is a snap on curtain (2019) and its a real pain. Track with rollers much nicer. Gerry in Michigan

[@weightlessliving9856]

Neil! Hello from Florida. After watching your video on this Thor Sequence, I drove over to Tampa to look at a couple of them in person. Wow. This is quite possibly a perfect Class B. On initial impression, the build quality is very good, actually better than the Airstream Interstate that was parked nearby. So much light, space, and very well executed storage. Here’s another interesting point, it was $79,995 brand new. That’s a pretty sweet price point. On a second note, would you please review the new Coachmen CrossTrek 20xg. It’s the just introduced B Plus with Solar, Xantrex 3000, and looks like a great design! Thanks For All You Do!

[@perdidoatlantic]

Where in Tampa did you see these? Jax & gvl has none.

[@CarrieJo5916]

The value is good i agree but I just dont like the configuration of either having to squeeze by tables to get to the bathroom, crawl on knees to get to the bathroom if the bed is full size and I love fresh air from open windows, even if I put a screen across the rear doors I wouldn't feel safe enough to keep it like that while I slept. Thank You for the review Neal, good as always.

[@Ultramobility]

very good points Carrie Jo.

[@Desperado3248]

They need a rear bed option with the floor plan of the coachman Beyond 22c, additional seats with 3 point seatbelts

[@smhdpt12]

This van is obviously going toe to toe with the Travato, so these points you make apply to both coaches.

[@cathietonkin5577]

We were so close to buying this RV but when we saw non working windows in the bed area it went from a rating of 10 to a 3!!!! A small size RV needs ventilation!!!!

[@xradrd]

They now have those small Windows

[@cathietonkin5577]

@@xradrd thank you for the update!!!!

[@dannidunn9302]

Sequence wins over Travato because the Travato requires the back door to be open to hook up to fresh water.

[@teck13]

Good review Neil. Pricing on the Sequence is terrific especially considering the many features that are standard versus optional on the Travato K. But the non-opening bedroom windows are a non-starter, I can't imagine not having a cross breeze across the beds while sleeping. Non opening windows is unexplainable. Unless the coach is always used where it's hot with AC running constantly. Hopefully Thor addresses this oversight quickly.

[@alliejr]

I might be wrong, but the combination of rear exhaust fan and open galley windows should create a really nice air flow through the bedroom area.

[@teck13]

@@alliejr We’ll have to wait for some early user reports but I know I prefer a direct air flow for sleeping. I mean, you can always leave the back doors open too but the Sequence doesn’t offer a screen so that would have to be retro-fitted. Wife and I prefer lots of air flow so for us the Travato with dual-pane windows was by far the best option for maximum air flow as all the windows open including rear porthole ones and the dual panes open 100% versus 50% you get with a slider.

[@wendelynmusic]

The sequence also has a front couch bed and a larger kitchen in the k or 20k

[@Peacenik22]

I am really enjoying your channel, and how well you cover all of the very key details and then offer comparisons. I am new to this world of 'mobile studio apartments' (I lived in a studio in San Francisco) and wonder if you would take all of the best features of the different makes and models and extract and make your own version with all of the best options-- where money is no object! It would be fun to see your idea of what a perfect vehicle- one room type van would have. Please include any and all makes you are familiar with like Mercedes, Airstream and other other trusted models. What is the BEST chassis, engine type, solar energy configuration ,water management, the deluxe features that make it even better... what is your DREAM vehicle? AND, what would be the best configuration to make sure you have if you want to live off the grid-- so optimized features.. (I might be planning an escape!) Thank you for your dedicated work and lovely channel.

[@Ultramobility]

you’re welcome!

[@rickfetz469]

I think the 2021 version has windows in the back and a rear screen They listened to you!

[@CallMeChato]

You had compared the Travato with the PleasureWay Lexor. Just test drove the Lexor and if Thor was trying to copy the competition they picked the wrong one. Liked the Trivato but it rattles like it’s about to fall apart. The Lexor was solid and quiet and the lounge arrangement at the back is just plain superior to the Travato’s twin beds which make awkward couches. It’s the Lexor for us.

[@paula.jackson5463]

Vert Well Done Neil, this is a nice addition to the B line up. Know my pat answer but this will truly give the Travato a run for the money!

[@pamt6829]

The price is interesting, the cabinets are sharp looking, but the back windows not opening would be a deal breaker for me.

[@afwilbanks4172]

Is that worth 20 to 40 thousand in price?

[@ricsoares8169]

@@afwilbanks4172 It might be because the ACs amd Gennies on these Vans are too loud to sleep with so you absolutely need to take advantage of "the stack effect" that a bedside window in conjunction with a rooftop exhaust fan gives you throughout the night. I guess if you live in Canada and barely ever plan to use it above 50degerees then it makes sense. It's a sharp van but really missing netted windows bedside is a deal breaker 💯.

[@gsep1056]

I am dying for you to get to Pleasure-way and do a review of the Ontour. I am excited about another "under 20'" option from Pleasureway. This is actually a more positive review than Thor did of the Sequence. I was unimpressed until I saw this review. You always do a great job. Thanks,

[@weselsea6590]

Why can’t these manufacturers turn the cook top 45 degrees and off to the right, so the glass lid opens against the drivers seat, to protect the seat and allow more open counter space?

[@smhdpt12]

Do you mean 90 degrees?

[@carolwilliams5390]

Thank you for this review. I was really sold until you said the windows in the lounge don't open. Whew, dodged a bullet there. That would drive me crazy. Thanks for your reviews, you do such a great job. So educational and informative.

[@Ultramobility]

you’re welcome

[@roundstone2020]

Wonderful review... I agree with your comments about the value as well as the benefits of competition in the class B segment. Excited to hear how they price the lithium battery pack.

[@Ultramobility]

me too! i suspect it will be priced competitively. i hear they are going with MasterVolt.

[@retiredandroaming]

I think the Lithium will be a very high priced option, around $12-$15k, because the cost of that huge 900ah Lithium is very, very, high. I think that a 600ah pack is more than sufficient, given the generous generator package and supplemental solar as standard.

[@NewAgeDIY]

Hello Again! I have committed on this point before and I think it important to bring it up again. 2020 van manufacturers need to offer safety features that will help save lives. Your spending a lot of money on a something you can afford to buy. So adding just a few dollars more you can get the protection you and your family deserves. As always thank you for your review.

[@Ultramobility]

agree! we have great safety features on our cars. we also need them on our larger RVs!

[@NewAgeDIY]

Ultramobility / same with our family car. Toyota's smart safety features are now in most if not all of their models. (Info) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a group of carmakers that requires all models to come equipped with automatic emergency braking (AEB) within the next few years,For now, however, you’ll still find many models that only offer AEB as an optional extra.

[@gosman949]

So when will Promaster upgrade to a new chassis?

[@NewAgeDIY]

Jay G. / Now that a real good question! The problem that I foresee is the amount of inventory now in the hands of the retrofitters. When they hit the market the rolling stock without the new safety features will need to be discounted. It will be interesting how each company will handle this change.

[@gosman949]

@@NewAgeDIY we are truly in an exciting change in the B Class. But cost is an important consideration in that small is small and we expect our payout for such vehicles to be small too.

[@lifeisshort-makeitsweet869]

Ty for your great review, as usual. Found the price a surprise. Personally, I am not a fan of the twin beds, especially with bathroom at the head of the beds. But some will not care about that. Great job Neil.

[@bobbiehill1774]

Thanks for complete review! ! ! I am single and looking to buy this so very helpful. Comment on non opening side window. I am a Colorado mountains camper - very cool nights and I have found in my various units that even the ceiling vent is usually not necessary. Also, bears - - - If they are around, I don't want them scratching at my screens by my bed. Again, I would close the windows while sleeping no matter what. Thanks again.

Glad it was helpful!

[@LisaMarli]

Thanks for showing this new Class B. Nice to see a lower price option in this layout.

You mentioned the parking was good because of the length. I forgot what is the length of your Pleasure Way? You talked about it that you like your RV because it's easy to park.

[@jeanhofvedvm7589]

Just saw one of these today at the RV show in Denver, and of course came right to you for the review! The one I saw was a 20K, with a very different layout, not like Travato at all. It had quite a bit more storage. Nice looking, and quality seems quite good for the price.

[@novembers]

Hi Neil: I am trying to ask you a question but do not know where to do it, so I will just ask here. When will you do a review of the 2020 Pleasure Way Ascent? If you have already done so, please include a link. I cannot find this review as part of your stuff. Thanks

[@giuseppecapilli4914]

Very good video. Keep in mind that in Europe, a very similar RV based on the same chassis (Fiat Ducato) costs $55,000. All the class B sold in Europe are much less expensive and some of them have a really smart design. Thank you!

[@Primogen1]

Great review Neil. They certainly pack a lot into this rig for the money! This is a serious contender to look at buying. I've never seen multiplex available in such an aggressively priced van. It's clean looking and very attractive on the outside as well as interior. Why aren't all manufacturers putting in decent inverters? 1000 watts makes no sense to me. Love the rear bathroom. Love the Corian counters and the workstation also being Corian. If they come through with the lithium upgrade, I'm sold on this van. Awesome review!

[@donf18]

We inspected a Sequence about a week ago in Fort Myers and were very impressed with the quality of materials. We have been considering a class B for more than a year and have seen all of them. This isn't a Pleasure Way but it's also a lot cheaper. Our conclusion is that it's not perfect but is a very good deal for the price, and I would find a way to make the air circulation work. .

[@jtuckerstone763]

Hate the twin beds

[@thegreatstarsdotcom]

Pull-out drawer refrigerators are much easier to use than door-opening/floor level refrigerators that require constant stooping. All windows (including rear) need to open and be screened for cross ventilation. Love the large bath floor + the wardrobe closet and drawers back there = good thinking.

[@classbcitizens2011]

Great review. Definitely a game changer for a class B. Interested in the lithium package price.

[@brianbarry1622]

I think the A/C unit is smaller in the sequence. I don’t know if that will be enough to cool the van in hot climates like Florida

[@Netscorer]

I like that Thor brings competition to the class B. They just need to work on their reputation a bit to convince buyers to switch over from Winnebago.

[@Ultramobility]

Yep agree

[@cmprvn]

They are a public company. They won’t sacrifice market value for quality. Been working on these for a while, Thor makes a crappy product. They’re good at facade, but pull that back and it’s all about profit. Avoid.

[@TheSquiggyacfd]

In 2020, all these chasis should have adaptive cruise control. Is such a great feature for driving long distances.

[@pammied52]

What’s the best way to make your cabinets “positive latching”? Bungee cords..... etc?

[@retiredandroaming]

Excellent review. Once again, you set the standard for a fair, balanced, thorough review. For me, the lack of rear ventilation is a deal breaker, and I'd like to see an optional composting toilet with combined gray/black tanks to extend boondocking capabilities substantially. But, this may be one of the top modern platform budget Class Bs available today, provided one can get past the Thor reputation for QC and after sales support.

[@sewistnotsewer]

Adding this to the long list of Class B's with no counter space. Who is designing these things? Apparently someone who doesn't cook. Great review as always Neil! I like this floor plan but I'm concerned about the logistics of getting to the restroom when the bed is made up. 🤔 Would you consider maybe doing a video or series on advantages/disadvantages of building out a custom van vs. buying from Thor, Winnebago, etc?

[@jimstein3083]

Having travelled for 4.5 years in my Travato G. I would go with the KL next. Generators under a van are unacceptable. You cannot get to them to maintain them. Plus they are to noisy for the areas you take a class b, like these two. But I like the competition as I will be buying another van shortly. I just broke 200,000 miles.

[@slope_d00d2]

Jim Stein why do you want to switch to KL? i think the GL layout is much better..

[@jimstein3083]

Por que Bitcoin ,my mistake, I meant I have the G, not the GL. But I would get a KL because: no shower drain pump which clogs every 3 days. Also K versions are gravity dump, no macerater for grey water. And I like the windows.

[@spellmadam2947]

Thanks Neil. A lot to like indeed.

[@cgobble1]

Can you compare the 20A floorpan to the Travato?

[@ryanbirr1668]

How are the two beds 30 inches wide but together you say the size of them combined is 54" x 76"? How can the width be less than the two individuals plus the center table addition?

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Math may not be Neil's strongest trait. ;-)

[@Ded-Ede]

Your reviews are of great value. I was all on board for the 59K until I saw the Panoramic RV, making it my top choice (…waiting …waiting) but now this Thor Sequence have pushed the travato 59K down to third, Although I do love the awning style windows of the 59K for crosswind ventilation. The price and quality of the Sequence are nice. They have thought out some of the 59K short comings.

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Lack of ability to open the windows in the sleeping/lounge area could be an issue.

[@musicelle812]

Does the bathroom sink and shower drain into the black or grey water tank? I understand that the Travato drains into the black tank.

[@musicelle812]

Correction: It may be just the sink in the bathroom on the Travato. Not the shower.

[@robertcoren7318]

Hi Neil: Thank you for an excellent review. The pricing is surely tempting. I was wondering how you feel the build quality and components that the two manufacturers use compare. I know Pleasure Way’s Lexor is thousands, even tens of thousands more but when you buy a class B it seems to make sense to me buy for the long term (in my judgment that’s 10 years or more). Therefore quality is most important. From your Pleasure Way reviews it’s apparent that you love their quality. Also I’ve noticed that in the older van resale market, you’ll find 10-15 year old PW b class van still holding up beautifully. Also some RoadTrek models have done quite well. If you were buying a B class on a Promaster chassis, how do you rank the comparative values of these three models? And are there any other Promaster vans that you would recommend we consider?

[@wkgeneralwkgeneral527]

Great review and Thanks! I would also love to have a comparison to Embassy RV which is trying to complete in the same market. I didn't hear anything about being able to set the temperature (either AC or heat) and allow it to come on and run when temperature changes below limits you set (I don't know what this is called), running AC off shore, and as always I see very little about the seating capacity. In one picture i saw seatbelts on the passenger side bed but they didn't look to be 3 point - you didn't mention it in your review and it's not mentioned on the website. I want to be able to transport more than 2 people (like how about adding grandkids) and it seems like very few of these affordable vans offer more than two seatbelts.

[@RoadsofLife]

Multiplex wiring seems to be a plus, I guess... but everything else... meh. Included options are nice, but no real info on price to compare, so are they really included or just tacked on to the price? No option for lithium or Pure3 right now, so kind of a deal breaker. Also watched Thor's intro to the Sequence and found out you need rods to keep the awning up (how turn of the century of them!). This is just a warmed over Travato K with some minor additions but no innovation.

[@Chaseosa]

What's your opinion on a layout like this as opposed to a layout like in the Panoramic? Does it feel smaller? Is storage noticeably less? Does it feel like much more trouble to set up your bed every day rather than having a bed that's always there?

[@Ultramobility]

i like the panoramic's layout. you get a highly functional, permanent front lounge where the bench seat is an actual seat and sits at the right height and depth with proper lumbar support compared to bench seats that are doubling as beds and sit too high and are too deep for sitting on. plus on the panoramic you get a garage when you fold up the bed. the bathroom on the sequence is much larger however.

[@badguy1481]

I had a Class B with a RAM front end (Roadtrek Zion). I now have a B+ (Thor Gemini), with a Ford Transit Diesel. BOTH "front ends" I like but I'm considering "down sizing" BACK to a Class B. I REALLY liked the ability to use my Roadtrek as a "utility van". In fact I moved ALL the furniture in my house in the back (the Zion with the side by side bed arrangement). I also like the ability to move long pieces of lumber down the center aisle (which I can't do with my current B+). I LIKE THOR. The quality is pretty good although, as they admit, they need to tighten up, a bit, on their quality checks coming off their assembly lines. No problems buying another Thor RV, though. I think, for the low prices they charge and the fairly decent finish on the inside furnishings, they're a VERY strong competitor to ANY of the other RV manufacturers in North America. Thanks for the great review, Neil!

[@KoiTimeUSA]

Do they make these on the transit?

[@Khalifrio]

One that goes into my consider column. Lots of good ideas in this one and the price is a huge bonus. I would like to see add on packages that include positive locking cabinets and draws, a bigger inverter, and four wheel drive. Heck, I would even consider paying for a longer warranty and I hate paying for warranties. One concern is I don't know much about Thor and that has me wondering if they cut corners, like Winnebago, sacrificing quality in the process.

[@Ultramobility]

Unfortunately the pro master chassis doesn’t come in a four-wheel-drive option. You could always buy a third-party extended warranty

[@Khalifrio]

[@guitarlearningtoplay]

Do those couches have seat belts? I like there to be other passenger seating others with is only a 2 passenger vehicle. I like the bathroom in the back for the back windows and size. I usually like the passenger seats where the 2nd row seating would be, like a lot of European Class B’s do it. Then the kitchen and bed in the middle

[@icholakov]

The Thor video shows 2 lap belts on the couch behind the driver like the Travato. It is still a two passenger vehicle.

[@CatherineRHarrison]

Hi Neil, thanks for another great review. Would you please review the new Winnebago Solis? It seems to be bundling up the best of the Travato G and the Revel, and improving on both (to my mind). If they offer it with the Volta system I won't be able to stop myself from spending the grandkids college funds! I'm interested in your review.

[@rpf2701]

Love that it has multiplex wiring and local and remote touchpanel controls. What about cabinet construction? Sticks and staples like the Travato? That's a deal breaker for me with Winnebago.

[@JimCouillard]

The fact that the Truma water and furnace heat only work on Propane is a deal breaker for me. That and the lack of a rear retractable screen and bed area not having vents on the windows....

[@1bike10]

Very cool. Hopefully they make a rear lounge version.

[@michaelgehrke9297]

Very interesting , would a max air fan in the bathroom help alleviate some of the ventilation concerns ?

@@Ultramobility I agree . But a higher grade fan wouldn't hurt , and it would probably help the situation .

[@DavidHuffTexas]

So any impression of overall build quality ? (I'm guessing about like the Travato). Also wish they had positive locking latches on those cabinets, etc...Still, like you said - price isn't bad. But if I were in the market for a Promaster-based coach, I might be more keen on price-shopping a PW Lexor.

What is the shower pan dimensions?

[@zonacrs]

I like it. Shouldn't be too hard to buy and install a Travato rear screen. Regarding the propane, 16 pounds equal 3.8 gallons for people who are asking. I wonder if bathroom fan on exhaust and galley fan on in would create enough airflow, or as someone else pointed out galley windows open in lieu of the fan.

Thor quality and warranty service is terrible. Spent $165,000.00 at Camping World on a new Omni super C and it is still in for warranty service, now for three months, and never used or useable since new in June 2019.

[@ZeoCyberG]

That probably has more to do with Camping World... They have a lot of issues, here's some examples... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYKQgqVseZV9gbM camping-world.pissedconsumer.com/bad-service-201806201284576.html www.complaintsboard.com/camping-world-b112241 Sometimes it's the dealership that's the problem...

In this video I am seeing man speaking about vehicle most of the time than vehicle display. I want to see more of vehicle

[@billchen9136]

Hi, Thanks for the great info. Can you tell me where I can get the Sequence with you price you showed which is ~79K? which website is shown in this video? Thanks.

[@markweiner3896]

Neal, I completely agree with you that it should have had opening windows in the back.....I didn't particularly like the fact that these coaches like the Travato have "permanent beds". And, I don't know how comfortable or safe it would be to be riding in the back, sitting sideways.....Do these things even have seat belts for passengers in the back? I personally think that having a convertible sofa bed in the back is still the most versatile arrangement for a Class B RV...my opinion. -- Mark

They have them now

[@jlbrown401k]

Four Seasoned 9. One Piece Bathroom 10. Rear Bathroom (pref.) 11. Murphy Bed 12. Compressor Fridge 13. Separate Freezer 14. No Propane 15. No Generator 16. w/Undermounted AC Unit

[@julieplant444]

Good review. Thank you.

[@perdidoatlantic]

Nice if you can find one. 20k is hard to find.

[@MsTeck883]

Many RV'ers are solo travelers. I would like to see them do away with 2 twin beds and just offer a wet bath, a single twin and large wardrobe in the place of the room that the extra twin takes up. Yeah, then I would consider one of these type of vans.

[@lanaelliott2320]

Not cool Dude

[@rachelbyland978]

If we were to pick one RV show to attend in 2020 to see Class B camper vans, which would it be?

[@bobcat5412]

Great review. Amazing that they can copy the travado in such detail. I'm wondering if they use stick framing like the travado. Thank you again.

[@Ultramobility]

probably... i'll need to see how they are built. they've invited up to a factory tour which i'll likely take them up on.

[@icholakov]

Thank you, great review as always. It is hard to review this RV without making a direct item to item comparison with the Travato. A few items I was wondering about: 1. Does the multiplex wiring system (android minicomputer) consume 1A of power constantly? If that is the case the constant parasitic load may become a problem and one more power appliance to manage. I think you have one on the Ascent may be you can clarify. (2) Thor did not explain the make and model of the AC unit which has lower capacity than the Travato. I would be curious to know if it is a noise or a quiet unit. (3) The Thor Sequence comes with autostart capability standard - that is a nice feature (4) I watched the promotional video that Thor made and the awning seemed a little flimsy. Hopefully that is not the case. And one more thing - there is no roof rack for possible modifications and aftermarket equipment. That should have been a cheap but very helpful feature to provide. I think this is a great starter and they are probably collecting features to include in the Sequence 2.0

[@margaretwilson7659]

Thank you for the review. I was almost tempted to start the trade in process until the lack of opening windows was mentioned. I have to have a window open where I sleep. I am wondering why they chose not to. Yes, it looks sleek but feels stuffy.

[@mjohnson3151]

It does have a roof rack standard.

[@rvboondocker2559]

Great cargo capacity.Still, some national parks will NOT allow any vehicle longer that 20’ all inclusive on some roads ( including bumper, bike rack, etc) and it does NOT fit in a regular parking space. “Almost“ does not count. 190 watt solar a bit light. Good price? 4x4 price? Also nice big fresh water and propane tanks. I’d also ding it for the refrigerator on the floor and there is no Lithium, hence the price. All that said, I like Thor. HUGE value! No back screen cuz it’s the bathroom. I get it but ventilation needs to be evaluated by buyers.

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Good comparison Neil. I'm curious if the new Pleasure Way Ontour will be a direct competitor with Thor & Winnebago of if they'll price it into a higher $$ bracket? Competition and consumer choices are good!!

Continue to appreciate your reviews. I have the same climbing man on rope in my office. A question, how do you produce your Amazon shop page. I have a photography site that I would like to use for this and my amazon site is the common list site. Your's is really customized nicely. Appreciate any recommendation. Thanks.
