Why AEONrv is the Future of Off-Grid Camping

[@lasvegas313100]

That mini-split and the benefits of it…are a game changer. People would love to know the appeal of one versus the AC rooftop. You could talk about that all day long…people are very interested. People don’t understand the low energy draw and the cooler temps it can provide.

[@aeonrv]

Totally agree!

[@craigthomas8179]

Beautifully designed and executed. I know the bathroom placement turns off some people, but I think it’s a brilliant use of otherwise wasted space.

[@aeonrv]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@urbanrver3527]

@@craigthomas8179 I think that’s a great idea. It’s used so little and more efficient use of space.

Jim, there are a lot of things I really love about this design. The bathroom in the threshold is kind of awkward, but its hard to argue with the utility and space savings from putting it there. I love that you kept the length to only 22' and kept the width on the slender side. 23' is the absolute max I would consider and that metric alone rules out a lot of small class Cs. The mini-split, from what I understand, is also a great idea. I would be curious to see how much trouble I would have contorting my 6'3" self through the access door between the cab and the cabin. :) I love that you included those three-point harness seatbelts for carrying additional passengers *safely*. The only other vehicle in the entire small class B+/C category that I have seen that includes proper, *safe*, seatbelted positions for rear passengers is the Ekko. I got into a debate with Dean from Leisure Travel Vans at an RV show about that last year and left the conversation rather disgusted with his blase attitude about proper seatbelts for rear passengers. Truth be told, this is probably more of an offroad adventure vehicle that I had in mind, but were I buying today, I would have to take a very close look at it just for the features. Hopefully, this continues to be a successful venture for you guys and, in three years when I am close enough to retirement to start RV shopping in earnest, I can come knock on your door and see what you folks are offering.

Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We have customers that are 6'5" and getting through the passthrough is not difficult.

@@aeonrv Thanks. After watching this video, I watched the Aeon tour video that @shelbssays did and watching the ease at which both of them did it, even though I am sure they are both shorter than me, convinced me that it is probably not as difficult as it looks. A demonstration of this might be something you should consider including in your next tour video. While I would imagine that your customers skew a little younger than your typical class A land yacht, I'm sure you still get and will get older buyers aplenty as well. A little reassurance that a 60 year-old can move back and forth with little difficulty would probably be useful. Unrelated question. I could see myself infrequently putting the stairs down, especially on travel days, but still wanting to go in and out of the side door on occasion. Can you step on the top of the stairs while they are folded up without hurting them? I would assume so, but thought I would ask.

[@aeonrv]

@@thevagabondonwheels4918 We have lots of customers > 60, in fact probably more than half. You could step on the stairs while up, but probably not very safe. Easy to put the stairs down and back up. We give you a red reminder velcro loop with stairs printed on it to put on the steering wheel so you don't drive off with them down.

[@lpgriffiths]

I like this a lot, but dont understand that pocket door on the bathroom. Why not a swing door on the front corner that could close/ hide the toilet, or 'open' to close off the whole bathroom area when In use.? It would look so much better to not walk by the toilet.

[@polepole9066]

🇨🇦 very cool rig. I’ve been hunting the web for a true 4 seasons for Canadian 4 seasons. Think I found it ! Do you foresee making a version with additional storage with a slight overcab slanted addition. Not for a bed, but more storage and aerodynamics.

[@aeonrv]

We've looked at it, but there is so much storage already and hard to access that storage area. Aerodynamics are already where we want it.

[@doug3596]

they didn't show the inside of the garage - that's a huge amount of storage - or the cabinets above the bed/dinette - you can check other videos to see the storage. i visited in person and didn't have any concerns on storage.

[@polepole9066]

@@doug3596 thanks

[@brucelester6918]

Do you offer any factory options for the Liquid Springs system?

[@aeonrv]

No, but we add custom rear leaf spring pack, custom rear shock and custom front coil spring. Drive it first and I think you'll be happy.

Hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 ❤

[@aeonrv]

Hi back from Reno!

[@urbanrver3527]

I want use it for a daily driver and cross country travel. Hope it’s smooth on the highway. I wander about MPG

[@aeonrv]

We have customers who use theirs as a daily driver and for cross-country trips. It drives smoothly with all the suspension mods. Typical 11-13 MPG.

[@thevagabondonwheels4918]

@@aeonrv Which is comparable to something like a Winnebago Ekko or the Jayco/Entegra copycat. Granted, those are on a dually chassis but my guess is that this vehicle is much more offroad capable.

[@joniboulware1436]

Bedroom not shown nor was the rear storage.

[@aeonrv]

There are other videos on our channel that show all the features.

[@debbietulk4846]

What about the bedroom and bathroom? Why not show those areas?

[@aeonrv]

We have other videos that show the entire vehicle

[@Roobarr1]

The only limiting factor for me is the cassette toilet. A black tank would greatly extend boondocking for us. Otherwise a genius design in a such a "small package".

[@aeonrv]

We have a 2nd 5G cassette you can easily store in the optional outside storage box or select the Tiny Separett urine separating toilet to extend your off-grid stay. No room for a black tank and we don't want to haul around many gallons of sewage.

[@WillJohnston-wg9ew]

I don't understand why the speaker talks about all of these features without showing/demonstrating them?

[@aeonrv]

Thanks for the feedback! We will work on showing more of the features in our upcoming videos.

[@warsongleafcull4731]

you had me until I read the grey tank is only 28 gallons. Way too small to boondock for any length of time. About 80% of freshwater is what the grey tank needs.

[@aeonrv]

We recommend keeping the gray tank "clean" as possible and use only biodegradable soap. We keep food particles and hair out by using screens. Easy to dump the gray tank in many places if you do this. In fact, we use it to water our lawn when we get back from a trip.
