Your usual good job on the review; however this is a bit of a Spartan approach to camping. I can see where someone would like the basic amenities for weekend fun. A great cargo area for ebikes.

saw the Winnebago Revel at an RV tradeshow. The toilet and shower enclosure takes up a lot of room in this camper. Other camper van manufacturers from Indiana had same problem of using too much room in the campee van for toilet/shower. I think camper vans are for people that can tent camp and can use a 5 gallon bucket with plastic bag with kitty litter for number 2 toilet waste. The Class C RV motorhome or bigger is best for people that need a regular toilet and shower

Wow what a very innovative off grid shower design. It has a deep pan, and a lot of flex in the curtain. Clearly not something you want to use everyday, but if you’re not in a park with facilities it’s decent shower.

Love the review. I’ve always been drawn to the Storyteller series. I love the craftsmanship, the Volta system and the overall utilitarian design. Personally I’ve even changed my thoughts on the shower design after rethinking the space usage etc. I’m still a little iffy on the portable toilet system. My two favorite Sprinters are Storyteller and your Serenity/Tranquility series. I do like the removable storage above the bed bump-outs. When it’s time to buy, I’ll have a tough choice. Keeping the great reviews coming, and so glad to see a Storyteller walkthrough. If I were single, I’d probably be more likely to chose the Storyteller, but married, with the design of the Serenity/Tranquility, rear lounge, that would be my choice. I think the storyteller is more minimalist lifestyle as an analogy, where the Serenity/Tranquility are more the “norm”, if that makes sense. Thanks again for the great, thorough review.

I agree, the storyteller seems to have good quality and unique design. However, for me I do not need the rear garage space and would rather have the sofa layout. I also personally prefer to have a bathroom with a flushable toilet. The layout I have in my Sanctuary is a very common layout and can be found in many different brands, but Thor has the best price. Thanks for watching!

Great review. Love the STO. The only issue that stopped me from jumping on the waitlist is the access to the toilet if the groove lounge is being used as a bed. If you have a bad night and must use the toilet and you can't go outside because of bad weather. Then you'd have to wake the person up and move the lounge to drop the curtain to use the toilet. The other option would be place the toilet somewhere else in the van and use it out in the open beside someone sleeping on the groove lounge. This issue probably will not apply to most people who are traveling alone or a couple, but form me I have a teenager that will travel with me from time to time so it wouldn't work. However I still love the STO and I think they knocked it out with it's design and build quality.

@@Adventure-Mom not joking...overnight passenger trains in China from major eastern seaboard city back in the years 2000's had toilets that flushed to the train tracks...could actually see the rock on the track track bed when flushing....doubt this idea will ever be implemented though in a camper van....EPA fines...

I did like the quality and I love the Mercedes platform, but I do not need the extra garage space so the layout does not work for me. I prefer the rear sofa bed layout I have within my Sanctuary. Also, I personally prefer a private enclosed bathroom with a flushable toilet. Thanks for Watching!
