VAN TOUR - 6 Class B Campervans (2025 Florida RV Show)

[@remotevans]

Hey Bob and Hillary! Thanks for stopping by our stand to check out our adventure vans! It was genuinely awesome to meet you both. The Tampa show is huge and it takes a lot of effort to review as many class Bs as you did, plus put together such a great video. Thank you for including Remote Vans, we really appreciate all the work it takes to create these videos.

[@Vancaskeys]

Hi! It was great meeting the team at the show! Quality people and quality Vans! Thanks for the opportunity to showcase your Vans. We really loved how all 3 were set up a little different to show everything you can do in all 3 vans.

[@darynhillhouse]

Great video 👍 Everyone here at the factory (Remote Vans) appreciates the opportunity to showcase our vans, and your honest review, so a big thank you. We’re proud our vans are being recognized for their quality 🙌 - innovative features, technology, while coming in $10k-$20k below our competitors. We’ll keep pushing the boundaries to build better vans for our community. Hopefully have you guys at our factory for a visit some day🙏🙏

[@Vancaskeys]

Awesome! Love hearing this! The quality is top notch! The Remote Vans team has a lot to be proud of. We always love when Vans push the boundary and try new things! Sets them apart. Great company! Loved meeting everyone!

[@jasonnell1477]

Always appreciate your honest and transparent reviews. Keep up the great work!

[@Vancaskeys]

Thank you!

[@ThacMan]

Big big fan of Chinook vans. Especially the B+ models.

[@petermenor8074]

These make me fall in love all over again with my 59 K Travato.

[@WendySurckle]

I asked George from Humble road years ago on his channel, what he thought of the recirculating/recycling water system. He said he did NOT like it cuz of how fast the gunk accumulates in the filters. He said for him, it wasn't worth it, too much maintenance.

[@MrSpaceace1999]

He might have too much gunk on his junk 😅 but yes all these bs things are a lot of waste of money . Fill your water tank when you need it a shower … I’ll wait for the hait ashbury

[@Rashnak66]

well ya gotta be clean before you start, and use no soap or shampoo.... other than that works great!

We absolutely had the where is the toilet question!! We have a pleasure way ascent with a wet bath and I love it!! I wouldn't be without a bathroom.

[@SurferGirlHB_aloha]

Hi Bob and Hilary- I like the disclaimer of you not getting paid and it’s your honest opinion! Although I wish you could get paid $$ - your honesty is refreshing and you bring us along and it feels like we all walked in the van and experienced it with you! Keep up the great work!

[@Vancaskeys]

@@SurferGirlHB_aloha awww thank you!

[@Mistr_Anderson]

Bob like me, automatically falls in love with many off these cool looking, suped up off roading vans. But Hillary at min 3:02 swoops in with a reality check. 😝

[@Vancaskeys]

😂😂😂 so true!

[@joecutro7318]

You guys are so generous to do so many van reviews on your trip to this massive show! Thanks for dancing (bobbing and weaving) through so much inventory and showcasing so many interesting and innovative features. The industry continues to evolve with every show. Thanks so much 🙏

[@timgoodsell4053]

That shower is a stretch. You’d be much better off with an outside unit, maybe with an expandable shower enclosure mounted on the van. That’s what I’ve got on my truck. Works great.

[@Rjhaack]

The fire suppression for the Chinook was awesome. More manufacturers should do that. Not a bad model and I like that they made it so that the lower half of the bed could be left open to make getting out of bed easier. The kitchen prep area is too small though.

[@joannelamar6389]

I enjoy how you try to validate the prices by showing us the details that we typically can’t see, like the upgraded suspension and that cover plate on the Mercedes. Those do add to the price, but usually is not on people’s minds when they shop for a van conversion. Thank you for these details.

[@Vancaskeys]

@@joannelamar6389 thanks for noticing that! We try!

[@anthonyb2334]

I’m not a van/class B person , although I’ve had a custom van with several options in the past. We need a bit more room. But I love the way you present these vehicles . Very down to earth. Even though we have owned 9 different class A and Class C motorhomes over 40 years, we enjoy learning about these vans from your channel. Thank you

[@StevenDeal-l6f]

Hmm remote vans look very high quality with great accessories! Really like how flush the AC is to the ceiling . Not a fan of the small slide out fridge. Not a fan of all the badging and paint stripping and designs and wheels. Not sure yet about that shower system 🤔 ok that’s my honest opinion and I appreciate you giving yours too. Ok back to the. I do. Ok Chinook love that fridge and the wheels. Next …

[@MPGunther1]

Nice walk throughs. The Chinook would have my vote! Are more manufacturers going induction instead of propane? What's your thought?

[@paddyVee]

I liked the Coachmen the best. If I were to purchase a van (as a solo female), I would be buying a van with the cooking area facing the door for safety reasons. I don’t want my back toward an open door. That’s just me.

[@Vancaskeys]

Totally get that!

[@martykong3592]

:) THANKS MUCH for sharing ! I have to say, WAY toooooo MUCH $$$$$$$$$$$$ ! Maybe the Coachman Pixel ? :) ALL the BESt and Cheers : )

[@Studiovette]

Tons of RVs but just a handful of really nice ones. Chinook = Amazing. Might be my next van. Love their Maverick also.

[@hathawaywego]

We actually found a used Chinook Countryside that we may be getting. It’s a sprinter, the Bayside is nice but we are not fans of Ford, we’ve not had good luck with their customer service.

[@mariatrapp6196]

Thanks for introducing all these vans. You always do a great job in a non salesman way! Thank you!

[@Rjhaack]

Coachmen Pixel - I like the refrigerator and freezer. The bathroom is too small. I'm finding I like those rear baths the best.

[@brianjohnson1062]

Thanks for this video, you guys are the best

[@valerietiffany3420]

Really nice vans out there … I’ve got a used 17 Travato and I have to say .. most of the newer models , including the Travato have the controls above the side door. Mine are at the head of my bed … this is def down to preference, but I’ve had to use my controls a lot particularly for heat since I’m also here in Florida and was at the show … it was cold at night, having that control at my fingertips at night was nice , not having to get up and go fuss with it def more convenient. This is a small matter but sometimes the small things matter .

[@lindascan99]

Nice reviews, Thank you!

[@Vancaskeys]

You're welcome! 😊

[@RVtraveler-TN]

We bought Bayside TB 360 last October and love it. Batteries are 600 & 300W solar. Love frig & bathroom. Not fan of galley since no drawers but only negative we have.

[@dalehuber6281]

I have heard of Remote Vans, looked on their site, and liked what I saw....till I got to the MSRP's! I am going solo, with my dog, and just don't think there is enough room in a van, but love the reviews! Thank you!

[@wkw4095]

Looks to me like these builders are making simple utilitarian builds and charging an arm and a leg for it.

[@glen8449]

I feel that way too ridiculous

[@janicecrockett1400]

The Chnook is my favorite. I really like the dry bath, fridge, twin beds and the Transit chassis. I am assuming it is gas.

[@taurusview9]

I knew about remote vans...but I would still go with mine, which they stopped making them last year.

[@PhillyGirl_70]

We really enjoy watching your videos and listening to Hillary chime in😊 P.S. Love your music🤗

[@robynidyllwild6755]

Hey Hey, on a totally different subject I am having to have my K02’s replaced with less than 25,000 miles. They did not do well at all !! We don’t go off Road, the most off road we do is quartzite. We are having the Cross climates Michelin’s put on. I hope you have better luck with yours.

[@Mr1wd]

Man these prices are outrageous!

[@CraigPeer]

Vehicles are expensive. Before you build it out. A pickup truck can cost $70K. They are not going to get cheaper.

[@mister_ray]

Love my Outside Van Syncline. Have not found any other van built to same quality.

[@Vancaskeys]

Very cool!

[@216trixie]

"So where would the bathroom be in here." "So The bathroom is actually in this cabinet. But I don't see it actually in here but it's set up in another van"😂 I'm going to wait for this to make sense😂

[@marsha-rf6nn]

Not a fan of he remote. Models and prices. Thanks for your reviews

[@susanoucharek1416]

In the Remote van, where was the shower head?

[@bread1206]

Love that Ford Van.

[@Vancaskeys]

👏👏👏

[@michelle_pw]

With all these van reviews I’m waiting for you guys to replace Mr. Lemon.

[@Vancaskeys]

😂😂😂 Right!?! His days are numbered…just don’t tell Mr. Lemon!🍋

[@madeleinegombert661]

Me too.

[@TrishBenedict]

A few years ago, it seemed like all of the RVs were some version of the Travato K. Now it seems like they're all a version of the Storyteller.

[@Vancaskeys]

We noticed that too.

[@lisoliveira]

Recirculating water. No thanks 😂😂😂

[@donaldnewton6646]

I love your channel. I think you do sum up the most videos that I like. Keep up the good work. I am disabled. I live in Jacksonville, Florida. Do you think that the van life is doable being disabled?

[@ralphsarc1471]

Bob, Hillary $225,000 to $250,00 I’m sorry but NOWAY!!! Compare that to the build quality of the NooVo with all its wonderful features and for $100,000 less I’m thinking Oasis won’t be around next year!!!

[@Lt184]

Sorry, IMHO it’s a lesser copy of STOs platforms… Though I like the included skid plates

[@Kettle_Maker]

I was thinking the same thing! Although I do prefer the sink on the Friday, But the Mode OG, I believe, is the better van.

[@timgoodsell4053]

I’ve never heard of these guys but I like the clean, simple lines of their vans. The Friday model seems reasonably priced at $188k. Not sure what you gain with the other two models.

[@bah5310]

The Mercedes is about $20k more before they even start to the build-out. I have an 05 Airstream interest (04 chase) and at work I drive a 16 Promaster. I'll take the MB even with all the issues and maintenance.

[@Rjhaack]

I agree the shower in that Outside van is too small. I would feel cramped and I'm only 5'10"

[@madeleinegombert661]

I really liked Van number 4 the best.

[@Vancaskeys]

Yeah! It’s a great one!

[@pejisan]

please do a video on vans for tall couples. Most vans cram kitchens, showers, etc instead of a good big bed.

[@davekent20]

With remote van iv never seen a shower like that. 😂😂😂😉

[@kqschwarz]

Where do you store the flexible black water drain hose on the Bayside?

[@bigbob7820]

Remote Vans are from Cincinnati, Ohio

[@ramontoro]

Hello from Puerto Rico friends

[@CraigPeer]

I had heard of Remote Vans before.

[@Vancaskeys]

Awesome!

[@ccartee1]

I know Bob has had a “love affair” with the Storyteller Overland. The Remote Vans looks like a copy of the STO. In Remote Vans (RV) favor, the Starlink and the air conditioner seem to be an upgrade. The shower and seat seem to be a copy of the STO. But I’d love to hear your opinion, since you saw it in person. I think the STO shower is better, because the curtain rolls up into the cabinet and you have the lower space available for storage. After watching countless rig reviews, I think it is impossible to show fit, finish and quality in a video format. It is really something the reviewer needs to comment on. So I’ll ask, how do you compare the fit and finish of the RV vs. STO?

[@valerietiffany3420]

Great Question - where’s the toilet ?? Fuel tank … upgraded … seriously ? It all depends on your priorities.

[@Rjhaack]

Never heard of Remote Vans and I don't care for any of the models you showed. I think for the prices of the higher end models I would do some of those mods on my own .

[@alternatedirections]

Best to buy an empty cargo van and build it out yourself:)

[@AndrewHammans]

Bayside for the win though I'm concerned about the dump station getting damaged. Nothing about the Remotes interested me, especially the prices and bathroom, no TV, and for the price they can't add a front winch??

[@MongooseTales]

After seeing these prices the cost of an Oasi 540.1 is actually starting to look reasonable.

[@chazrudich6963]

Yeah no thanks, if I could afford $116-$233 I would but a house and would have an actual bathroom

[@celesteg-g2684]

Remote vans are for the elite. (Cyber shower is a big no for me.)

[@Lower48travels]

189K to start for that van?. And it’s only a 144 with no bathroom! No thanks

[@Susansnewera]

For 189000 the fridays-where is the toilet and shower. Retired-need a toilet . Female with Tiny tanks. The bed looks like my Thor Tellaro for $99,999 and we have a wet shower with toilet and shower with 200 watt with lithium batteries and a gas run generator. We wouldn’t live long enough to pay for that $189000. Ive heard Mercedes more expensive to maintain and repair. Not my retirement vehicle

[@Chatterboxis007]

Better to buy a cargo trlr and fix it up to your liking.

[@vixenhunt4877]

I Need An RV I Could Live Out Of California Rent And Mortgage Prices Are Ridiculous 🤔😩😬 Chinook Bayside RV Was Cool More Of My Style 😊

[@hughmann1908]

Is Airstream still the pinnacle? Looking at these vans, up to $200K for what you get is ludicrous imho.

[@petermenor8074]

No bathroom/shower or refrigerator????

[@janicecrockett1400]

I hate the big sliding door on van RVs. They are great on work and passenger vans but really suck on recreational vans. Plus, they are definitely not pet friendly

[@CraigPeer]

The Chinook has zero kitchen counter space.

[@Vancaskeys]

Very true.

[@davidmahoney7960]

This is why I don't like the Story Teller. No designated bathroom. And how many people are gonna need this off-road suspension it's like they're limiting their clientele nice vans though

gawd im too poor for these 2025 prices

[@chrisschiel6741]

Remote vans. Way overpriced compared to Grech. Never mentioned the very important solar, battery capacities. That's where the big money items come into play.

[@salembeeman370]

It must have been really hard to not talk smack about those outrageously priced vans.

[@kennethhensley7582]

For that price needs a bathroom

[@jabreck1934]

Saying vehicle is a class B and then explaining exactly why it’s a class C!! (Chassis is separate from cabin construction) This type of marketing manipulation is just sad and should be illegal. Whatever you’re getting out of this, I hope it’s worth it

[@RedfishGB]

you would loose your mind with nothing to fix, just sayin’ 😁

[@JD-xo3xz]

The novelty of adventure vans has not worn off yet, so prices still out of touch with the average consumer. On these, the fridge is way too small if boondocking, plus no room for customization. Many other custom builders out these that can give you exactly what you want at a price point you can hopefully afford. Still much better quality than production companies like Thor, Jayco, etc.

[@Rashnak66]

finally someone who appreciates a big fridge!

[@Alisix8nine]

First!

[@robertriojas9195]

[@ChloeGirlDoggie]

Stay loyal to Mr. Lemon! He has become more of a reflection of "you," and you are in tune with his flaws :)

[@CathyPinAZ]

Thank you for giving us such valuable insight on these new vans! I like to get ideas for what I can do in a custom van at a much better price point than $100K plus! I love to be a lookie loo anyway. 🚐❤

[@joebacs2487]

All these b vans are absurdly over priced! American Greed at its finest.
