I've rambled about this model a bit here and on the "B" forums. It is nice because it is based on the Euro van style (Sprinter/Transit/Ducato.) However, I wonder what the real price on this will be. Too high, and people will just go for an ERA.
There are some nice things about the Travato. The push-button latches, a decent gasoline generator (I'm from Texas, so A/C is critical for a good chunk of the year), a heat strip in the A/C, SMEV/Dometic flush sink and stove, and some decent seating in the back.
However, the Travato does make some compromises. A four gallon water heater and its oddball floor plan which may or may not work. For a single person who doesn't mind flipping the bed up to shove in a bicycle or two, it might work. For a couple, the bed borders on the small side.
I am definitely interested in this model because it has a decent seating area to put a laptop, without having to worry about making/unmaking the bed. It also has a decent sized refrigerator and the bathroom doesn't appear to be too cramped.
