VAN TOUR: NEW 2025 Winnebago Revel Walkthrough

[@mtnride4930]

I just saw the 2025 on RV Trader 245K! Unbeliveable. Now start accessorizing which we all do. I am still very happy with my 2020, I went from an 87 VW Westfalia to the 2020 revel I could not ask for more. I went from the outhouse to the penthouse.

[@johnswieter7707]

Very nice mods. Ones I have been waiting for. Now they have to get the price down. That’s the big mod that’s really needed

[@onthegowithgreggsavage]

The price is high but the sales at the end of the year will let Winnebago know whether it's a good move or not to keep it at that high of a price... There's proof in the sales and if they're smart they'll take that into consideration instead of holding out for the extra dollar and having dealerships with product on the lot collecting dust.. and then being taxed extra on their floor plan that they haven't sold

[@dannonyogurt98]

Entegra Launch and Jayco Terrain feel like strong motivators for these upgrades. Which is awesome. I really hope that I can afford this in a year.

[@mtnride4930]

245k for starters then think about all the accessories you would like to do. Oh plus tax, license, extra fees. WHEW.

[@BWT599]

Jayco Terrain in Canada dropped a lot over the year. I'm looking at grabbing one for 192 k with a swap of my current vehicle.

[@ireloaded9]

Great review. These models are still using basic and low end components. Interior color schemes feels like a nursing home or hospital

[@jasonlucas2328]

Great job for the presentation. It's even better if the fridge door can open on either side. It'll be very convenient.

[@paulwilliams2024]

Finally a revel worth looking into . Personally I don’t mind losing the pantry either .

[@johnjack8127]

The bathroom door is a great upgrade. That's about it. Removing the pantry is a big negative - substantial storage of dry foods now have to find a new home. The previous models all have a counter extender so 'more counter space' is a no opportunity. The bench seat redo is over engineered and is not pertinent to probably 90% of Revel owners - most I have met travel alone or 2 adults. Just making them bucket like seats is enough. Jason: please make the previous Revels (mine is 2022) an upgrade so we can have that bathroom door!

[@canyonadventurevans]

Great idea, I'll pass it along to Jason!

[@davekent20]

Great video. Can't wait to see what you come up with. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@canyonadventurevans]

Product launch video just dropped on our channel 👀

[@peavina]

Great review Jason. I'm bummed the pantry was eliminated. Looking forward to your mods for this '25 model year.

[@JimSchurr]

Amen @dannonyogurt98, I own a 21 Entegra Launch and I feel like I just watched a video of my van that did many of these things 3 years ago. The back seats are a pure copy of the slide apart and recline. Glad I have the pantry as opposed to bigger counter. You can't store food on your counter. Everyone calls the REVEL the GOLD STANDARD in "B" class. Feeling pretty good about my Entegra Launch right now if the GOLD STANDARD is adding many things I've been enjoying all along. Just would be nice to see credit given to where it came from.

[@BWT599]

Yep, competition is good for everyone. I'm still probably going to buy the 2023 Jayco Terrain as I need as much space in the garage for my kids' motocross needs. Didn't know the Revel didn't have anchor tracks in the garage until now.

[@KennethGreenCMP]

Great information. Dude is heavy breather.

[@canyonadventurevans]

Both statements are true 😂

[@cmorr72]

Those are good upgrades especially for the passanger rear seat, this will make traveling more comfortable with the family.

[@canyonadventurevans]

Absolutely! Huge upgrade over the current bench seat for sure.

[@ChopperChad]

Have you ever ridden in a seat with no armrest? It’s terribly uncomfortable and awkward with your arms plopped in your lap haha.

[@dogfriendlytrav]

The bathroom door is much better! The first mod I did on my '21 Revel was to remove the door.

[@canyonadventurevans]

Agreed! The little privacy panel is thoughtful as well.

[@TraderChick]

I like the updates this year! thanks for the tour

[@ChristieONeil]

Great improvements but what is the new price?

[@canyonadventurevans]

Was just looking into that, haven't seen anything from Winnebago yet. Probably in the coming days.

[@ShajiCee]

That moving seat is one the best improvements..

[@canyonadventurevans]

Absolutely. More comfortable and more functional than the old bench seat.

[@moflexmusicinc.6060]

Love what they do I just wish it was a longer version , with larger seating options or even a slide out , I understand what they are doing But with the more luxury rigs they lack it and I wish they can also have that off-road feel and usage .. sry few companies really make off-road models that are luxury ( earth roamer,global x ) and the rest are trailer campers …. I’m waiting for that holy grail moment that companies other then the ones I mentioned will make such a beast

[@cesulli]

Nice review Jason...I'm so happy that WinnyB listens and makes changes. Love the L track in the rear, been asking since 2019. And the privacy bathroom door and rear seats that make sense. I switched to a swinging curtain to get the same effect, glad they figured it out! What's in the space under the rear seats?

[@alefeusch]

Getting closer. All nice changes, but I still wish they'd make one for solo travelers and couples. It is a 19' van after all.... is a four person family really their primary customer? Ditch those huge, ugly rear seats for a sideways bench along the wall and a lagun table and I'd be strongly considering it. But, dropping that much cash, only to have to modify that area doesn't make sense for me.

[@canyonadventurevans]

Great points. They're definitely trying to keep the audience as wide as possible. Will be interesting to see what direction they take the '26.

[@abstractreasoner]

It’s interesting how these builders pride themselves on being all things to all people without regard for the compromises

[@DirtSickle1]

Exactly 💯

[@petersmith1534]

I got one for my family of four+dog. Perfect for us.

[@dvpzy]

This is amazing for a couple. This shows that the space in a 144 Sprinter is enough.

[@michaelsmith9308]

lol 300,000 after options and no solid surface counter top like Tiffin and they are 150,000 cheaper with starlink.........WOW! Revel address this ASAP! and lower your price by 150,00 !

[@randyrandolph9709]

Where are you going to put your food?

[@canyonadventurevans]

One of the big questions now that the pantry is gone.

[@bobd4294]

I'm so bummed about the loss of the pantry. Totes are the only viable option now.

[@davidnowlin3512]

Some very nice upgrades, but still, if I had to choose between my 2023 and this 2025, I would stick with my 23. I've done a lot of upgrades, one of which was turn the back into an office with CAVans desk and seats. I don't see how you could get any better in the 25 with the shrinking space back there. I do love those passenger seats, though.

[@canyonadventurevans]

Valid points ☝️. These upgrades seem like they're focusing more on the "adventure van" rather than the all-arounder that it used to be. Pros and cons to both models for sure.

[@frankphillips6485]

It's not even February 2024... do you guys have the 2026 out yet? If not you're slacking. I'm looking into getting the 2027 myself. It's only $359k

[@canyonadventurevans]

😂

[@bobd4294]

Agreed 2025 is sooo 80's!!!! That 2027 is killer! Playing the devil's advocate, what if Mercedes decides to make the 2025s cargo area ever so slighty bigger/smaller/angled?! That'd put a hurting on Winnebago's engineering staff 😂 That 2025 coach would now become a 2024 mid-cycle refresh 🫠

[@Pinkheartbwell]

Love this one. Are the cabinets solid wood?

[@canyonadventurevans]

I believe the stock cabinets are laminated plywood.

[@harrytraction1380]

We are SLOWLY adding/buliding everything in our 23 3500 AWD 170 Sprinter. What works and what is really fluff/bs. After attending these Vanapaloozas😅 and getting exorbant prices on a full build, is absolutely ridiculous. We know that WE don’t need all the gidgy gismos that you think you need, but really don’t. A shower in these vans? Really?😂.

[@richbowie76]

I wonder if they are using the Volta electrical system for the new models

[@david_does_life]

I suspect its the Ecoflow Power kit

[@gme5802]

I believe it is a 51v proprietary system from Lithionics, since WGO now owns Lithionics.

[@david_does_life]

I just saw in another video that it is actually an EcoFlow Power Kit/Lithionics hybrid system. I don’t know why they decided to mix the two systems but I guess it’s so they can save on the battery costs…maybe?

[@richbowie76]

@@david_does_life For sure its to save money ! THANKS I'm gonna look for videos. 👍✌🍻

[@richbowie76]

@@gme5802 👍

[@DDevin7]

No pantry?! Less space in garage. Jump seat space seems tighter. It was already cramped enough being a class B but livable enough. I don't care how good the other "upgrades" are. Space is important. A new Revel is out.

[@roneehartl5774]

Jason! Thanks for the review. Did they say anything about the factory down position of the bed being any higher? Or is your bed-riser market still going to remain strong? :)

[@canyonadventurevans]

Great question! The factory down position is roughly the same, the bed risers will definitely still be used in the '25. We just had to make an additional little storage box under the driver side bed riser to match the height of the passenger side on the new '25. The bed riser market remains strong!

[@wesleyyoungAK]

Thanks for the video! Any idea when we will be able to order the new model??

[@canyonadventurevans]

The word we got from Winnebago was March.

[@bobd4294]

Still lacking a microwave. I was hoping they'd add a microwave. Bummed about the pantry too. Goal is 2 years and I'll be living in the revel traveling full time. 35 gal fresh water awesome, did they increase the gray tank? Is there storage under the 2 new passenger seats? For the aftermarket battery upgrade? Front passenger seat still have the space for the aftermarket sound system upgrade? That'd be nice if the new rear passenger seat swiveled one more time, to sit and look out the side door & have a backrest. OMG my OCD is all over the place ufff I need to medicate. Lastly please figure out a microwave spot. Maybe hang from the current smaller cabinet above the lagoon table? This way we wouldn't loose more cabinet space having to upgrade with the cabinet and microwave side by side. I know y'all will work wonders with your aftermarket accessories! Oh they could have made a little bit sink :/ glad they made the drawers more usable and added those bars I briefly saw to make the bottom drawer 100% usable.....ufff did I mention I need to medicate!? This is sensory overload!

[@canyonadventurevans]

Haha unfortunately we don't have answers to most of those questions but Winnebago is probably going to start putting all that out on their website and channels. A lot of people are definitely still missing the microwave. We have a microwave kit on our website, but it takes up about half your cabinet (behind the driver's seat) as a trade off.

[@bobd4294]

Yeah that's the side by side I was talking about, your current microwave upgrade. Also the microwave for the garage area, I've watched all your vids on the Revel upgrades...more than once/twice, maybe 3x 😂 OK ok time to look at your new vids

[@mtnride4930]

I have a 2020 revel and our microwave lives in a felt box behind the drivers seat when we want it we set it either outside or on the counter then back in the felt box and put in the back till we leave then back behind the drivers seat. Works for us.

[@bobd4294]

​@mtnride4930 Yeah, I was thinking temporary storage and break it out when it was needed. Definitely have plenty counter space now. What's the felt box look like?

[@bookbakery]

Where is the shower?

[@canyonadventurevans]

The shower is on the Driver Side between the garage and the jump seats! It's essentially that same little room where the toilet is.

[@jkandkiminthecamper]

Should do hydraulic side steps like my truck

[@canyonadventurevans]

Those are great, we used to have them on one of our vans.

[@JD-yd3sj]

Also looks like its AWD based on the logo on the back door.

[@bobd4294]

Yeah 2022 was the last year for 4x4. Mercedes did away with that and went with the AWD for 2023+

[@david_does_life]

Instead of taking from the Entegra Launch/Jayco Terrain, I wish they had copied Storyteller instead (since those are not available in Canada). The garage kinda feels like Storyteller inspired.

[@canyonadventurevans]

Agreed ☝️

[@txws2525]

Even though the battery has been strengthened, why is there still no microwave? There are also starlinks that adventurers need!

[@canyonadventurevans]

Probably the most requested feature and yet...

[@_gatsby]

i don't even have a microwave in my $800,000 house.. it would be the first thing to go, to make room for clothes.. orrr, i could keep some clothes in it. hmmm, i need to rethink the microwave now

[@brassbelt]

What about the bed? Nothing was shown about that.

[@canyonadventurevans]

The bed hasn't changed at all! Same bed system as the earlier revels.

[@WaYsTiiD]

Storyteller is still a far superior brand and option to go with

[@canyonadventurevans]

Maybe, but the gap between the two is definitely being closed with all the upgrades.

[@davidnowlin3512]

The Revel is more livable. @@canyonadventurevans

[@bobd4294]

Storyteller Overland a superior brand over Winnebago? 3.3b estimated revenue compared to 26.1m...honestly if I'm putting ~200k in a purchase I'm going with the brand that's been around for 63 years and not 6. Maybe you are talking Revel product vs Storyteller product? IMO I'd still go with Winnebago, they're making over 70% of what goes into a coach, in-house. That's a big deal for me knowing availability is going to be there, to include 63 years of making & putting together coaches. Just my opinion and you know what they say.....an opinion is like an 🫏🕳 er'body has one 😂

[@DougBath-o8f]

Why does the van even need rear seats if the front seats swivel? It seems like such a lost opportunity to better use the space and space is everything in a van.

[@canyonadventurevans]

A lot of people have been saying that. This design is more family/group oriented but it seems like most people that use these vans either travel alone or as a pair. An interesting choice from Winnebago for sure.

[@cervofun]

So, there is basically no storage for your clothes. That doesn't look smart.

[@canyonadventurevans]

Correct, we're working on some solutions for that in the garage as we speak.

[@jasonday4658]

Layout seems OK, but unimpressive interior.... especially for the $$$

[@rhettdepol4629]

So to connect to city water you have to keep the doors open? Terrible design.

[@canyonadventurevans]

Lol no that’s just a little hose in the back for showering, cleaning, whatever. The water hookup is a panel on the side. Same as all the Revels.

[@rhettdepol4629]

Ok you’re wrong. In ‘21 they stopped putting the city water connection on the outside of the van. Did they put it back outside in ‘25?

[@canyonadventurevans]

@@rhettdepol4629 apologies, I misunderstood, you’re right. I believe it’s the same in the ‘25 that the city hook up is at the interior water panel. Apparently they surveyed Revel owners and the majority of them just fill up and leave.

[@wilfriedgronau5052]

the engine is total bs put this on a ford transit with 400 hp
