We bought the Strada ION - Nothing is better. The battery system alone is superior. The always on hot water works great. The MB special suspension is a dreamy smooth ride. Fit and finish is above and beyond AIRSTREAM. I've only had excellent service from the Grech RV support guys. It is pricy, but if you are going to pop for quality get the best. Also expect a lot of nice comments when you're refueling. Obviously it comes with induction stove, oven/microwave, air, TV, power window shades, power slide door with bug screen., etc. and the other stuff you'd expect.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

NoMo…. Thrilled you love your Gretch. They make a sweet rig. If you have any interest in being my Guest on my KZbin Live show to share your story, plz send email GSLLviewerRecommendation@gmail

[@traveldreamer4616]

This is luxury to the max! It is well done. Beautiful. I like locked water fills. For those that can afford it, what a way to go. 😊

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Agree with you

[@Van_Liberty]

All of the outside access features are pretty much the best I've ever seen. Great job! Attention to detail is there, for sure. I agree that this is weekender or even a daily driver that has it all for mobility.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

THX VL

[@traveldreamer4616]

Why Is this so well done? Will seeing that Grech manufacture limos, they create vehicles that don’t rattle around. Think of a limo that contains glass decanters. Thanks for doing this van. They have a nice line up. If a person is going to pay $$$$, they should be made with quality components.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thx T D

[@ldygzlle1291]

Yes I agree, not for full time living. Fridge too small. Those floor lights will get knocked. Those back couches usually need a topper to be comfortable for sleeping, and no where to store it. Tanks Way too small. Nice sink though.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thx

[@markomaticd4106]

Thanks for your review. I didn't see a wardrobe cabinet anywhere? I agree with you, this would be a great driver vehicle w/ amenities, but not the best for a longer trip. I didn't see much outside storage. It is nice to have that many seatbelt positions, so I guess one would need to make a careful evaluation of actual usage.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

hello Marc

[@taurusview9]

I wish they come up with a murphy bed type in the back, not a retractable bed/couch system they have. Here Scott, you have your marching orders, get them to consider this :) Great video, thank you!

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Very good

[@tfernandez-friscot]

Wow!!! I want that battery power!!!😍

[@gosmall.livelarge]

yes !

[@Dave-zl2ky]

Very nice. It says so much about the RV industry which has gone past middle and most upper middle class to the wealthy and left In the dust is the American family. The manufacturers below that are busy building crap that won't make it past the warranty period. In case you did not guess, I expect an industry downturn.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thx for your considerable insight Dave

[@ftkinsella]

Wow well done. I want this one. Cheers Scott!!!

[@gosmall.livelarge]

TY

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Great tour. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Grech makes great Vans

[@AdventureVanExpo]

We saw one of these at our show! Amazing rig

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Truth

[@marywel7615]

I had those plastic hold open catches on my Jaco travel trailer.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

good to know. Thank you Mary for watching.

[@silentrunning9847]

I'd love if it we could get luxury on Ford or Dodge.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Ok

[@joanmcerlean7158]

Thanks Scott. Check out LivinRVision KZbin channel. They are living full-time in the Grech Strada Ion. (larger than the Turismo).

[@gosmall.livelarge]

thank you Joan ! They make cool vids !!

[@iglapsu88]

love the gravity fill. Ours is only pressure fill. Like the bathroom sink, fan and separate Grey and Black tanks. Really big kitchen sink too and the convection microwave is awesome! It's like a limousine, but in van form. 16K Watts is pretty huge too. Is that Watt-Hous? We have 12,100 Useable Watt-Hours with our Volta on our Cahaba by Tiffin.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Hi Tang!!!

[@johnwilliamson9453]

You should be an RV salesman, Scott!

[@gosmall.livelarge]

LOL.. no way !

[@jeanneprice6736]

There are choices for configuration. You did not mention the convenience and easy emptying system for the tanks.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thx J P

[@ljo6657]

No handle to use as you walk up the step?

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thanks for watching and taking time to comment !

[@WinWin26306]

Too expensive

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Okay

[@onemoreday1550]

Beautiful. 250,000.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thank you

[@pher71]

Looks like a Coachmen with mood lighting and no glass on cabinets 😎

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Okay

[@dww1213]

This is the ine I want. Thanks very much for great walkthrough. Saw your previous Strada video and you didn't seem as impreseed for long term living. Like both models a lot. Very cool.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

thx DW W

[@silentrunning9847]

Too bad it's a MB money pit right past warranty. No thanks.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Alrighty then

[@aca2855]

Nice!!!!

[@gosmall.livelarge]

indeed

[@dww1213]

Except bathroom window should atleast slide open. Otherwise whats the point.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Ok

[@jasonlucas2328]

Scott, great video!!! 👍👍👍!!! The water tank is too small compared to the size of the van. Also, Lithionics is 12V. If idle charging, it'll take four times longer than Volta in general. The van comes with dual induction cooktops. I've tried different induction cooktops. The cheap ones use three times more electricity than the expensive ones. So, I prefer an induction cooktop I can carry around or buy another one more easily.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Great comments, Jason. Thanks for watching and subscribe.

[@douglaslane6245]

Have owned a 2023 lithium ion 4x4 for 11months now. Have been across USA twice and south to Cabo San Lucus. We purchased this class b because it is in a class of its own. There is nothing inside or out that is not the best in class. Extremely well thought out and practical in every element. One comment about induction cooktops, for example, in other units being cheap. There is not one element of our Grech that can honestly be considered cheap. This is the best of the best. True, the only disappointment is the small holding tanks but this class b is not designed for two week boondocks. But with some planning for water fillups and dumps, this is the vehicle we lived in for three weeks straight traveling from northern Baja California to Cabo and back. With 4x4 we traveled with confidence that we could explore any and all amazing towns, missions and highlights in these incredible Mexican States of Baja and Baja Sur. Camping on both coasts; Sea of Cortes (the worlds aquarium), and the mighty Pacific Ocean, we experienced Baja as few have and loved every minute. As for hanging storage, on both sides of the ceiling in the couch area there are flip down holders for all needs of hanging storage. Virtually every adventure we encountered exposed another convenience we hadn’t been aware of yet. Trust me, we have done out research, this is hands down the best Class B on the market and we’re not paid to say that. We’re just satisfied owners.

[@quilter4charityrobin754]

I'm happy to keep waiting for my Embassy! Hard no on this one for me. Not much I like about it, except maybe the bathroom.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Embassy RV !!!

[@michaelsmith9308]

this seems to be better than the roadtrek "gloss cabinet" limousine interior all electric , the exterior hidden plugins are exceptional her! embassy- im going to check it out!

[@wopspice]

I’m at some car museum in PA

[@gosmall.livelarge]

LOL

[@TCDShow]

like, but i need a van to live in so i travel across country

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Dry good

[@mysticalsouls]

great coach, this video made me dizzy watching it! Everything was too close up, you need a wide angle lens!

[@gosmall.livelarge]

LOL was using wide angle

[@danarcher6749]

did you use the fish lens by mistake? it make the video look weird. do they make that RV in the larger 170 wheel base model?

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Story about that Dan

[@lynnknight3652]

That refrigerator is tiny!

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Yikes

[@michaelsmith9308]

ss agile is smaller................a casual user the fridge is PEFECT! live full time one person acceptable IMO

[@richardmckrell4899]

Buy a van for the price of a house?

[@gosmall.livelarge]

LOL

[@kellygold2815]

Can't see anything. All close up items. Pan out more.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thx Kelly

[@chasedirtbike4155]

Who needs a stealthy 213k rv with cable tv? Does anyone still have cable tv? If you can afford an rv like this, you probably won't be stealth camping in Walmart or the streets of LA.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Cable TV so 1999 !!

[@janekinzig3847]

Chrome will tend to get scratched, fridge too small, for the price should not have a wet bath. Microwave placed too low. Cutting corners with the seating being compromised by the induction cooktop. Not impressed.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thx Jane

[@cleopatrabonz]

Don’t like wet bath RV shower toilet combo…

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Understood

[@gt-c-]

******** Do not compare Cadillac with Grech RV...as the quality, reliability and dependability of Cadillac is non-existent ! Cadillac is no longer what it used to be 30-40 years ago ! ******** In the world of B-class RV's...Grech is more like the RR in the world of sedans...! Questions: 1. Is this the 2023 model? 2. Are those BF Goodrich KO2's tires? 3. Is this a 4x4 full time?

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Few things are the same from 40 years ago. Progress and regress. Sorry about that

[@gt-c-]

@@gosmall.livelarge ...and the questions?

[@maryshank7825]

Such a tiny fridge😩

[@stanw909]

Fridge Fail. Tooooooo small.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Hi Stan

[@m8tyone]

Way overpriced and ergonomically wanting.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thanks for chiming in M D O

[@DaGoonR]

Besides 150k in cash there is nothing you could put in that van that makes it worth 200k.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Bam !

[@tomboard1]

All the fasteners are stainless steel. The tanks are all stainless steel. Even the screws on the wet bay and the plating are stainless steel. It's also a 4x4. The lithionics package is the most powerful in the industry. All of the interior is made in house and hand stitched. All the shades except the bathroom are powered. That convection microwave is also an air fryer. That body kit is attached in such a way it is considered part of the structure of the van. It's not lose fitting garbage. The list goes on and on.

[@tonyc9116]

Poor design

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thx Tony

[@toddalan1027]

Way over priced.. No seating for many

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thanks Todd

[@davidamss]

THIS IS RIDICULE.... REAL PRICE. MAXIMUM 35.000.EUROS.. LOOK THE CRASH TEST ..IT IS CATASTROPHY...

[@gosmall.livelarge]

alrighty then !!

[@rgblackblack4883]

You are supposed to judge a person when you see them.But this looks like the creepiest fucking car dealer i've ever seen😂😂😂😂😂

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thank you for watching

[@harpereu9271]

I'm Sold, write the Receipt for Cash!

[@dorismatthews4416]

Beautiful van, not so beautiful price! Thanks for showing us this one, Scott! Needs a rear bath and twin beds that can convert to one and a larger frig! Keep on keepin' on!

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thx Doris

[@tomboard1]

It's a 19 ft van.

[@joyanders3968]

Lovely, but not enough storage.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thank you, Joy

[@doctorcopper4844]

Love it! I agree- top shelf weekender styled like a private jet. 😎

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Top shelf !

[@michaelsmith9308]

$250,000

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Yikes !

[@cathysupp9493]

Gorgeous! And I love the hide away exterior accessibility At that price, it is definitely a case of you get what you pay for

[@gosmall.livelarge]

agree

[@trickpony3]

And only $100,000 more than I paid for my Pleasureway Ontour 2.0 and less fresh water, smaller fridge and uglier interior. I do like the exterior stealthiness and the convection microwave and the extra Lion amps, but not for and extra $100k

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Got it Bob

[@ИванГригорьев-м8я]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@gosmall.livelarge]

yes !

[@stephenstringer3689]

Is there storage under the couch or are the lithium batteries located there?

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Batteries there I believe

[@stephenstringer3689]

A lot to like but surprised they don't have a macerator pump with a coach this expensive. The Airstream Interstate 19 does as well as having Volta.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Thx S S !

[@tomboard1]

It does have a macerator and the hose is powered.

[@montywm69]

You never showed a back view with the back doors open

[@gosmall.livelarge]

good point. Next time

[@pamelabronson7038]

Excellent video presentation Scott!! Thanks!

Hello, from Virginia!

Virginia !

[@kickadams8908ass]

The only thing I don't like is the dump tank technique. It would have been nice if it had a macerator system.

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Good to know
