winnebago travato

[Livies_Dad]

Has anyone purchased the new Travato and if so what do you think of it. Motorhome Magazine reviewed it in the June issue. I kinda like the
idea of the gas engine. their test run was 17mpg+. Comments.


Saw the thread below after I posted this. Sorry.

No Diesel option in US as yet. In the pipeline.

If FCA was going to offer the diesel, it would have come out in the first release.There are no gas options for the Global Ducato.

Supposedly the Diesel version will only add $3500 to the price. Not the $13,000 more for Ford or Chevy. Supposedly.

We're not interested in diesel either. It looks like a viable option though.

Personally a gas engine is the worst engine for pulling any weight on RV's. Once anyone drive a diesel and feels the pulling power they would never ever go back to gas.
I have driven only diesels for that last 20 years. My current daily driver is a Sprinter. I once overloaded it almost to the danger levels and it climbed the Rockies like it was empty. My wife went out to the parking lot to move it and it was so heavy she thought we lost the transmission because she has to use more pedal to move it. Dodge is coming out with a diesel in this version, I would wait. Some are saying/getting up to 30 mpg in the dodge new diesel.
