$271,183.00 for a non-luxury RV that only sleeps two people?? People need to stop feeding the endless greed of these mobile home manufacturers. At half of their asking price it would still be overpriced. Every single one of these should sit on their lots until their prices come back to reality.

[@24james]

People need to buy whatever the fuck they want to. And if it pisses idiots like you off…all the better💯🤣✔️🖕🏽

[@AndyNC]

Yes. You could build this setup for way less than half of it yourself with more features and functionality. This is crazy with almost 300k with taxes for this setup.

[@gosman949]

this time next year these will go on sell. The 2023s are about $159k new right now at the end of February 2024.

[@AndyNC]

@@gosman949 150k would be about right... but not 300k. That's absurd. If you have 300k to spend for a van, than there are other real off-grid / off-road options available. It is a very nice van, but not 300k nice.

[@JeromeWoody7]

I can build a van 10x better than this for 60k

[@ChopperChad]

These prices have gotten out of hand. Even with a discount, this is just offensive.

[@effortlesschoice]

$245k MSRP! Absolutely ridiculous. To me, this rig is competitive at $130k.

[@troytokarczyk]

We looked at these and did a hard pass

[@thekenthouse6428]

That price takes it into LTV territory which makes this a hard sell

[@turboSilviaKa]

Unless a buyer gets ripped off, most of them probably sell for ~140-150k. Still too much imo.

[@ASSwipe.]

Why would I spend that much when I could just buy a 5th wheel camper with a full living room tv kitchen shower and master bed for like 30k?

[@ColonialRV]

We sell them well under MSRP, but we cannot give that price out over YT.

[@cervofun]

Where is the storage for your clothes? I know that you can store them in the bathroom, but then you can't use it. That power bed is cool, but I would rather have the storage above the bed and just a manually foldable bed. In my opinion, that would be much more practical. And I don't know if there is a heater outlet inside the bathroom(for drying wet clothes). If not, they should make it that way.

[@daverobinmichael8020]

I think this is the best RV review I've come across. Hat's off, sir. For several years we've hosted Revel campers in the parks we volunteer at and I've walked around a few Revels but never did look inside one. And wow, what W has accomplished in under 20' with no slides is just amazing. I now understand why I'm seeing more and more of them around. Truly impressive engineering. If I were 30 years younger I'd probably seek to own the one reviewed here.

[@ColonialRV]

Thank you for the positive feedback!

[@gosman949]

this would be perfect for us older folks. Also, we are the only ones that can afford them!

Thank you so much! We appreciate it!

[@jasonlucas2328]

I've watched several videos about this new design, Revel RV. Your presentation is the best. Winnebago keeps up the excellent work and has this latest upgrade and design. Good job.

[@ColonialRV]

Thank you for the positive feedback!

[@robmagu65]

The Revel is hugely popular and this is the best design yet, but the limiting factor is that cassette toilet. Let's be honest, they are nothing short of gross!! There is a gray tank in there which your going to have to empty at a dump station, so why not just give us a real toilet and black tank? It is SO MUCH easier and cleaner than dealing with the limited cassette. the new Airstream Interstate X has a nice 9g tank on the same platform. Or you can run a combo tank like the newer class A's. Come on W, this would be a huge benefit to a lot of people.

[@ColonialRV]

We appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns regarding the cassette toilet. We're constantly looking for ways to improve our designs and provide the best experience for our customers. Your suggestion for a real toilet and black tank is noted, and we'll certainly take it into consideration for future models. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! 🚐

[@svenhodaka9145]

The cassette toilet allows you to empty it easily during the seasons when all the RV dump stations are shut down and winterized. For Spring, Autumn, and some winter adventures this works well.

[@gosman949]

you can dump in those gross roadside outhouses. That is gross but convenient!

[@bobbeeding8384]

@@ColonialRV Just get a Trelino composting 9.5 lb toilet, stop dealing with black water OR chemical cassette toilet. I'd move the lightweight toilet out of the shower every time I shower!

[@harryj1081]

great detailed rv review, but i hope people knows that there is a 'zillow' version for rvs called rvuniverse and brand new revels are listing around 140-130k...feeling bad already to the buyers in 2021 paid above the ill advised MSRP lol.

[@DougBath-o8f]

The bench seat seems like such a waste of space that could be better used. If the front seats are meant to rotate back, why would you need 2 more seats? Does Winnebago think that there would often be 4 people in that van?

[@jim2000ca]

Exactly my point! I was think about an RV and the waste of space with these 2 seats is a deal killer. It's a short platform, every inch counts and not to have an option for a cabinet instead of the seats is just stupid.

[@joselito7776]

I like the tech and mechanicals of this van. I just wish they hired designers for the interior aesthetics which looks like a high tech workshop on wheels rather than a home on wheels.

[@ColonialRV]

Thank you for your opinion!

[@MichaelLochowitz]

I love it but why did they get rid of the pantry? Where do I put my food now?

[@bassmonk2920]

Where do you put anything?

[@ColonialRV]

The pantry was removed to provide a larger countertop. There is still storage above and below.

[@DDevin7]

@@ColonialRV After you store a few dishes and a couple of pans to cook with above, and a few cleaning supplies below, there is no room for food. No storage for clothes. Barely room for you to turn around. AND, with the price tag, Winnebago doesn't GIVE us anything! I thought i wanted a new Revel but I need to store all the food that I will cook on that longer counter and a place to store a few clothes. Nice rig though. Great off road and off grid capabilities. Just not practical in the areas I mentioned.

[@gosman949]

@@DDevin7 it is really designed for shorter travel.

Haha thats's too funny 😂. Most Revel owners hang clothes in the bathroom/closet when not using it or they use storage bins in the rear gear garage.

[@gosman949]

[@rossfasano]

Man do i hate those atrocious looking rear passenger seats that I would never have a passenger in and that take up 25% of the van.... are families of four really traveling around in revels? If they actually built a revel for solo travelers or couples (it is a 19' van, after all), id actually consider buying one.

[@ColonialRV]

Many Revel owners are using it for more than just camping. Day trips with the kids, tailgating, etc...

[@alefeusch]

​@@ColonialRVmany solo travelers and couples without kids are turning to custom manufacturers, because we are ignored by companies like Winnebego.

[@LouSass112]

@@alefeusch What would people who travel with kids do? Make them sit on the roof?

[@alefeusch]

​@@LouSass112 two very easy solutions: 1) make those seats removable so people without extra passengers could add a side bench there or use the area as storage or 2) offer two layouts, like is done with countless RVs. 💡 Personally, my kid is an adult, but if I had small children, I wouldn't be camping with all three or four of us in a 19' van that only has one bed.

[@alefeusch]

@@gme5802 that's good to know. When I inquired with a dealer they told me "it would be difficult." And implied that there was some reason why it would be unwise. I wonder if winnebego would let one delete them from the factory.... I don't know what I'd do with the seats. Doubt anyone would want to buy them. Thanks for the info.

[@abstractreasoner]

Rather than worshiping the voice of the customer, it would be nice for Winnebago to come up with their own ideas. If they were listening to the customer, they would realize a van that sleeps two doesn’t need four seats.

[@ColonialRV]

Many Revel owners use it as a daily driver as well for taking the kids to school, tailgating, etc...
