Eric..
The problem with the Roadtrek ranger is the bathroom is really small and i'm only 5'6" . The shower in the ranger is definately a sit down shower. If you're a person who uses the RV shower, its really tight. The travato bathroom is by far the biggest bathroom in any b class RV. Yes the dinette in a travato is tight to sit at, but the front seats that swivel are really comforatble. You have to remember these are b class motorhomes. They can't be compared to C's for space. There's trade offs to owning each, but for a b class, winnebago definately packed alot into a small space. I have owned a b (falcon) and currently a b plus (holiday rambler augusta sport) and on monday i am going to buy a travato. B class sprinters are both too expensive and too narrow for my taste and now getting too long.(the ext in now 24'. It is definately all about personal preferences

It really does come down to preference and habits. I have a full shower and bathtub in the C pictured above in my sig. and I've never used either. I hate navy showers or sponge baths. I'll find a place with real showers as necessary and throw quarters at it. That said, the bathroom in the Travato is very spacious and the nicest of any, but the gray water tank is only 14 gallons.

I like to watch the news or such when I sit down for lunch/dinner. Can't do that in the Travato unless I use the driver's seat and fold out the table to the passenger seat user, which begs the question, why even have the dinette bench unless it's for a third passenger which I don't have? I also like to watch a movie in bed sometimes. Can't do that either unless I buy another TV that I have to figure out where to store.

I know you've done your research and you will enjoy your new Travato. I think it's a great platform that gets good mileage using cheaper fuel than the overpriced Sprinters. I'm still researching and haven't found the right one yet and I appreciate your comments on the Ranger, which is one of my top 3.

Be sure to share your experiences with us here and again, congrats.
