Video Review of Winnebago Travato 59G

I would also be concerned about having my batteries exposed to the elements under the van. How does this work in rain, snow and mud? One rainy day on a dirt road and you would have a mess in those exposed battery slots.
This seems like a van built for blacktop roads which is fine for people that never leave the main highways. There are a lot of interesting places though that this van wouldn't see. I love the floor plan though.
Exposed battery slots? What's that? These are AGM batteries that WGO installs. They are sealed top, not serviceable. Only thing sticking out of them is the small posts with the bolt holes for the cables.
On the WGO Sprinter class B's, the coach batteries are right behind the rear wheels on both sides. Granted Sprinters have splash guards on the rears, but there is still a lot of water spray gets back there. Never been an issue for us or anyone else, (5 of them), that we know with the same setup.
Like has been said, 6 1/2 or 7" clearance back there is higher than most cars out there
