Finally got a chance to sit in one yesterday at a local dealer. They've got it advertised for and they've sold one so far, and apparently had a number of people come look at it. Will probably take the wife back next week and drive it.
My thoughts (all tinged with coming from a 2006 Roadtrek RS Sprinter):
- Internal layout: pretty good. The main salon is surprisingly spacious, the very open cab with huge windows makes it feel even bigger.
- Cab: Weird, but pretty cool. Massive windows and view.
- Bathroom: The door is a little tricky at first, but you wind up with a lot of space to move around, dry off, etc. One downside: there is no privacy from the bedroom.
- Bedroom: The holy grail for me: put the insert in full time, chuck the******mattresses and buy a single king-sized tempurpedic and I can actually sleep. (I'm still fighting a hip pointer from 5 nights in the Adventurous).
- Build quality: looked OK. The Roadtrek feels a little nicer and more refined - this feels more "entry RV".
- Exterior size: This is obviously the big change. We got the Roadtrek because you can take it anywhere and park it almost anywhere. This guy isn't huge, but no cheating in a single parking spot in a city.
Bottom line: It is interesting enough that I think we've got to drive it and see.
Question for those that have bought more RV's that me: They are advertising it at $79, with MSRP in the usual ridiculous range. Is that $79k price point likely to stay, or just a teaser until spring?
