The Premier Tour of the Embassy Cape Cod B+ RV!

[@amorevan]

Hi, everyone. Features and specs can be found on Embassy web site here: embassyrv.com/models/cape-cod/ Also, we followed up two months later with a Q&A with Terry to ask him the questions all of you left in the comments. Here’s that Q&A: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mILJo6amm7mEhKc

[@bk3132]

The cargo carrying capacity isn’t listed. What is it on average?

[@RoadsofLife]

There are a couple of errors on their website for the Cape Cod... sofa bed is bigger than listed, etc. They are going to update info soon.

[@amorevan]

@@RoadsofLife Thanks for that clarification Robert!

[@deborah4579]

This is EXCEPTIONAL! Worth the wait. Congrats to the team at Embassy and Terry for their commitment to design integrity and excellence.

I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Terry and his team. Thanks for watching!

[@iirtw2219]

Beautiful unit. You and your team should take great pride in the quality and execution of this unit.

Congrats to Terry and the entire Embassy RV for completely rethinking the Class B+ RV and injecting so much innovation in this new entry into the segment. I am really proud of Embassy for taking the time to do this rig right. Great job Guy for capturing this Cape Cod RV Tour while at the Embassy RV Customer Campout event. HOORAY 😃 … the Cape Cod has landed

[@amorevan]

Thanks, Scott! Enjoyed looking at the video of your new RV home. Hope to see you back out here on the road soon!

[@shekharmoona544]

There's Scott. 😂😂

[@fantastiqueberliotz1209]

As a very short person I would worry about pulling a hot pan, or Pyrex casserole dish from that convection/microwave oven. If a sauce were to splatter on my face or in my eyes, that would kind of ruin my day. . I wonder if the refrigerator could be mounted higher so that the convection oven could be mounted below it. I'd rather have a frozen steak fall on my head than a pan of hot spaghetti sauce. 😉

[@dwaynemanning5963]

Very nice beautiful unit. I was wondering about head clearance from cab to inside. Also the possibilty of recliners in place of from sofa bed.

[@amorevan]

I’ll pass those questions along to Terry. Thanks for watching!

[@Cjlaub]

Very thorough and well done. Thank you!

[@amorevan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RoadsofLife]

You got this one up fast! Didn't have a good signal at Eby's Pines, but hopefully will have some stuff up soon! Great video and interview!!

[@Van_Liberty]

Tried as I may, Verizon was nullified at that place. I had some already downloaded Audible books, though...

[@amorevan]

Thanks, Robert! Happy Travels!

[@Van_Liberty]

Nice job, Guy! I'm looking forward to the final chassis numbers. The roof is so strong, another Cape Cod could be stacked on top of it. That's freaking strong and could be an excellent rig for NASCAR events and such...

[@amorevan]

Good Point, Gene! Thanks for watching!

[@AlohaTrolls]

You have changed my mind from the aeon, wonder, and ecko

[@gmaneis]

Wow! A TV that faces the front couch! Had an RV a few years ago that had a similar couch but a TV facing the rear, so it was at a 90 degree angle to where you were sitting. Talk about awkward. This one appears to be built for actual human bodies to enjoy, without having to twist their torsos as if they're octopuses, when they want to watch the screen! So many fantastic features all over this one. Bravo to everyone who designed it.

[@amorevan]

@@gmaneis It really is well done. Thanks for watching!

[@wildernessdisneydad1621]

Been waiting a long time for this debut. I’m sure there are more details to learn, but I’m very impressed so far as Embassy appears to be so strong on the details that rent often discussed. I’ll be curious if there will be plans for multiple floor plans for the Cape Cod down the road. I expect this will be very successful

[@amorevan]

It is beautiful. I’ll pass along your floor plan question to Terry and hope to address questions in a future video. Thanks for watching!

[@krisrodrigues1]

Ok I watched this twice… start8ng to like the backsplash very much.

[@donschaffer9136]

Love all the features you have incorporated. Finally, a company that is thinking ahead and building a quality product. Must say, however, I'm a little disappointed with the over-the-cab storage. It does not look like it will be easy to move between the cab and the house. And with all the mentions of making corners curved, seems like that opening is small and boxy. Also, the microwave is pretty small. Looks like there is plenty of room to have installed a larger one. And, like others have said, solar would be a definite plus. A dedicated alternator is great if you are moving frequently. But if you're stationary for a while, solar is free energy vs running the engine just to charge the batteries. Overall, this looks like a great RV. Curious what the price will be when it comes on the market. Definitely on my watchlist.

[@amorevan]

I’ll pass your thoughts along to Terry and his team. It might be hard to see in the video, but the microwave was very deep. Thanks for watching!

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

oh I want one this is beautiful

[@amorevan]

Yes it was!

[@volofly2011]

Well done! Wow! Much more complete from what we saw during our factory tour in April. If we were still in the market for a class C this would be at the top of our list, hands down, just like Embassy vans are for class B. Outstanding! It has all the best ideas I've see with improvement. The rounded corners really makes a difference too. First impressions are very high but I'll have to watch it again to get a second impression but I'm guessing it will only go up in my opinion. Keep up the good work Embassy! And thanks for sharing the video guys.

[@amorevan]

It really was beautiful! Thanks for watching!

[@marya6506]

IMPORTANT.....BEAUTIFUL B+ rv but.........many and Im sure many older folks cannot get down to open and close the toilet. Or some of the other low things would need a pull system or something...I actuall narrowed this vehicle down as one I would buy. Im so gla I saw this cuz the knees wont allow me sadly...for others it could be their backs etc etc etc.....all the best!

[@azklr]

Take a bow! Love this B plus! I would recommend an electric slide toilet! 😂 I'm lazy! But, with that said, why didn't you just put a toilet in that space?

[@KAW5]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@amorevan]

Our pleasure!

[@jaydias7263]

This is awesome they are coming to Massachusetts. Can't wait to tour one at the Adventure Van Expo!

[@amorevan]

Yes, it’s great that you’ll get that change! Thanks for watching!

[@dlg5485]

I love the design and ample storage, but I wish he had discussed more details about the utilities (tank capacities, heating and hot water systems, inverter capacity, charging, etc). Also, 25+ ft is a bit too long for a B+ in my opinion. I really wish they'd held it to a max of 24 ft. That extra ft really starts to limit your mobility and where you can go, not to mention fitting into the garage. A shorter rear overhang would also be better, given how low to the ground the body sits. That said, it is a great design.

[@edwardvarga2017]

Excellent sound - especially with a direct microphone for Terry. 😊

[@amorevan]

Thanks, Ed!

[@larrygray1557]

Nice, but did I miss something? Great flip-up counter in the kitchen with significant audio discussion of its benefits, but where is the cooktop - induction or gas - in the kitchen? Nothing on the countertop, no single burner stored in drawer, and no audio discussion about it.

[@AnthonyWilbanks-l5h]

What is the price going to be? A beautiful RV so I have to ask. Thanks Terry for the indepth review! 😃

[@amorevan]

I think your best bet is to discuss pricing directly by calling Embassy. I think there may be options that affect price, and of course the price of the Ford chassis fluctuates year to year. Thanks for watching!

[@WiseOldTales]

@@amorevanBut why can’t you give a ball park price? For some it may be much less affordable and won’t want to bother calling. Thx

[@amorevan]

I think it is somewhat south of $200K, but that really is a question for Embassy.

[@brittabrand6645]

Great unit, but the position of the TV wouldn’t work for us. Is it a compose toilet?

[@amorevan]

Hi! Don’t know if noticed there are 2 TVs, one in the bedroom and the hideaway one in the lounge. Toilet is your choice of Laveo Dry Flush or Separett.

[@suzyq3746]

Finally an exceptional well engineered vehicle, I am so impressed with the beauty of it but the practicality of it also. Most manufacturers build these rv's now and people spend thousands doing upgrades to solar and all kinds of things. This one I could purchase and probably never upgrade anything. A couple of questions, how long for a build time would be on this and also is there anything done to the Ford Chassis with the suspension? Again nothing slapped together with this RV. It will be coveted by many. Well done!!!!☺🤩

[@amorevan]

Hi. I’ll pass along your kind comments to Terry and his team. As far as lead times, I’ll pass that question to Terry, but if you are looking to possibly place an order, the sooner you call them the better. As far as the suspension, I think Embassy will install Sumo springs, if requested, but that’s something to discuss with them also. Thanks for watching!

[@pamelareed5021]

Does the tv come out more so it can be seen from the couch?

[@amorevan]

@@pamelareed5021 Yes, TV and be seen from couch and also swivels to be viewed from the cab. Thanks for watching!

[@beading101tutorialsandvlog4]

Love this. But what gives pause (other than price, obviously) is the ground clearance. How will this do on bad roads, with gravel or lots of potholes? Is this chassis the all wheel drive? Can the chassis be lifted a little?

[@amorevan]

Yes, it is AWD. I believe that one of the first buyers has plans to have an aftermarket Van Compass lift performed.

[@czealtamahawk1228]

Luv it. Thanks for showing. Few things tho. Where's the electric stove? Option location of the microwave could be directly top of the sink. Pull out TV is awkward but who watches TV now a days. Most watch on their own tablets. Dedicated table for breakfast or a lagune table at the sofa/bed? How many gallons of fuel? Thanks

[@amorevan]

Hi! All Embassys come with a portable induction cooktop, so you can choose to cook inside or out. Don’t know if you noticed second TV in the bedroom. I’ll pass your other comments/questions on to Terry. Thanks for Watching!

[@GirlzRock-t8c]

Where can you put an e-bike? Storage doesn’t look big enough.

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Is there a insert for the beds to make one large bed? I like it!

[@amorevan]

Hi. While the demo unit toured in this video did not have that feature, I believe it is or will be available in the production units. Your best bet is to call Embassy directly and ask about options. Thanks for watching!

[@Cecelia-u1j]

Like everything except that bathroom. I'm not getting down to pull the toilet out. They'd have to rethink that before id consider purchasing it.

[@amorevan]

Hi. The advantage of the hide-away toilet, as I see it, is that it makes the shower huge when it’s hidden away. Of course, people who prefer to can simply leave the toilet pulled out all the time if they wish. If we owned one of these, I think we’d likely have the toilet out most of the time and only push it in to take a shower. Thanks for watching!

[@denimru4637]

Wish the Ford 2023 Dolphin S was that quite.

[@amorevan]

The Cape Cod really was whisper quiet! Thanks for watching!

[@reneev67]

What I like: the storage, no wood, the cameras, the portable induction cooktop, dry-flush toilet. What I don't: no solar. Will it be an option or easy to add?

[@amorevan]

A number of viewers have asked about solar. I’ll pass the question to Terry. Thanks for watching!

[@stevemuise6315]

Where's the cooking done? No propane?

[@bettymonk8466]

[@joanmcerlean7158]

[@JohnGaltfromAtlas]

Shower curtain should just be removed - especially if as stated the entire bathroom (including the entry door?) are water tight. Those curtains - even as seen in this walkthrough - are simply a nuisance & often impossible to keep clean / mold free

[@gabys2]

If as part of controlled custom they can get rid of one bed so I can have my bike int there without having to remove the wheel we may have a winner!

So why is it on a Ford Chassis?

[@czealtamahawk1228]

Why not? MB has emission infested diesel. Woulda love it on Chevy 3.0 duramax but they're not using em on their vans it too has issue on its oil pump belt. Big diesel engines are pain in the srse to maintain. Big gas are gasslers. Ford Twin turbo v6 is the way to go for retirees. If you noticed most of their buyers are over 55 y/o who'd luv to explore N America.

[@gosman949]

@@czealtamahawk1228 it takes the over 55 crowd to have the coin to pay for one of these overpriced rigs.

[@hugohackenbush6474]

I think because Transit is the only gas chassis. To charge the house battery to run the AC, the engine must be running. Van Diesels - the "New" 2010+ emissions - DO NOT like to idle (A Sprinter representative said if you must idle more than 30 minutes, you have to drive it on the freeway for an hour to get the Diesel Particulate Filter hot enough to burn off the accumulated residue.... something along those lines.)
