On this and the Revel you misidentified the exhaust pipe on the driver side as the alternator. It is not. It is the exhaust for the diesel burner for the hydronic heating system that provides heated air and hot water. Also both units include an induction cooktop from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, some dealers to make a couple dollars more withhold the cooktop.

Jayco all the way!! The 2 jump seats are awesome. The first jump seat slides out into the walkway, allowing space between the two jump seats. Also, the jump seats will recline for a comfortable seating option. Which is more comfortable than the Revel. The countertop pulls out over the fridge and gives you plenty of counter space. There’s an induction cooktop included. I like the 2 reading lamps above the bed.

One big difference between this and the revel (besides 4x4) is the Jayco battery is 4x the run time. Big difference for boondocking

Yes. Terrain has 10KWH vs Revel's 2.5KWH, and Jayco has 2nd alternator for 48V system.

Will you ever review any of the StoryTeller vans? I'd also be curious to see a review by you guys of the Wingamm Oasi 540. I cannot wait to see some reviews of the class B vans when you are in Europe.

$220k absolutely insane for this.

Hey! I'm walking over here.

Great video! One note - I think the Terrain LE (like the one in the video) is on a less expensive MB chassis that doesn't have the LED headlights, safety suite or 4x4. That's why it sits lower than the Revel. All 4x4 Sprinters sit higher than this. The standard Terrain is a closer comparison to the Revel. I think the LE came as a result of 4x4 chassis shortages. I also believe that exhaust pipe on the the driver's side is for the diesel heater, not the alternator. Otherwise, awesome to see the differences between the two models. :)

Always look forward to seeing that blue dot 🔵 next to your channel. Thx for posting this one especially

That's a cool color. Pretty wicked looking wheels too.

I'll go with the Winnebago Revel only because I like its color and that its off-roading capabilities due to its higher clearance. I do agree with Andrea that the lack of a stove and microwive is a big negative for me. I need something to cook on if I were to go on long vacations with this vehicle and I hope both Winnebago and Jayco will rectify this in future models.

08:50 Exhaust for the alternator? WTF do you mean? I thought it was an exhaust for a diesel cabin heater.

You guys are sooooo awesome! The wife and I love yer vids😘 But on this vid you really stumped us🤔 When did they start putting exhaust pipes on electric alternators😂 Sometimes it’s better not to say anything at all rather than mislead ignorant people down the wrong road🙄 The Exhaust is for the Diesel burning furnace and hot water heater cause there’s no propane!

Most similar RV to my Revel, almost identical. Cabinet closure needs an extra action. Easy to forget

Those back seats you dont like SPLIT APART and recline unlike the revel , the cook top is electric and runs off the 4x battery size then the revel , most likley that jayco you looking at is 2wd . Jaycos 4x4 has upgraded shocks .

Felt so crowded to watch that my stomach shrunk just watching

I love this Jayco swift 20a 20d and the sister products as I just retired from the military due to cancer. However they are super expensive here in California. I plan to trade my current vehicle for this one so I can start traveling/ daily commuting. Thank you for your video.

No cooktop and a cassette toilet disqualify both. However, the Winnebago was a little plusher and comfier.

Great vehicle but I do have to say you should put your switch knife back on your belt it looks good 😀 OK Matt and Andrea love the video.

If I was looking for a class B I would go with the Winnipeg rebel

It comes with an induction cooktop, just like the previous class B.

Only three minutes into this video, and I already love it! You are both so much fun to watch. Thank you!

Hi guys! I prefer that Winnebago. If this Jayco was a little longer/wider, they might have been able to have more comfortable seating, a bigger fridge, and a longer bed, etc. For over $200K I would expect more comfort. Okay, things I like: lots of solar panels, that garage, and the power windows. Things I dislike: #1 (and this is huge for me) No inside cooking at all? I love campfire cooking and grilling. But when the weather prohibits, it's nice to have the option to cook inside. For over $200K I don't want to be standing outside in the rain or snow to cook my meals. #2. That wet bay is still inside! Why? What if I want to stay hooked up to a city connection (how do you shut the doors at night without unhooking?). #3 The cassette for the toilet seems rather small. No way you are doing a whole weekend on that thing (did like Matt's comment "taking your poop out at midnight".) Asking a favor of you guys: I couldn't see if there were outlets or USBs by the passenger area or the sleeping area. This is a perk for me to know. Can you please include these in your reviews?

Love this unit, just wish they'd figure out a way to incorporate a microwave. And put some cabinets in the back over the bed for clothing storage since it's kinda wasted space having the bed go all the way to the ceiling. Plus cant really run the ac with the bed all the way up. A tv would be nice too, but a tablet can be a workaround for that.

Wow, can you know that the LE is a cheaper 2wd version and not the same as the 4x4 version. The 4x4 terrain/launch have the large screen, lane assist, adaptive cruise, memory/heated seats and led headlights. It’s only 200watts of solar on the rough. The small solar panel is to trickle charge the chassis battery. You called the air compressor a propane quick connect, there is no propane on these rigs. That was actually the exhaust for the diesel heating system, not the batteries. Please tell me you show of the bench seats and the build quality. The bench seats are more comfortable the most class b bench seats, plus they recline and split apart. The fridge is slightly narrower but slightly taller. Drawers are bigger. Also you didn’t show off the extended counters. I will have to say I used your videos to learn about rvs, and to think y’all did a review/comparison like this is disappointing. You didn’t bring up the larger battery capacity in the terrain. You missed the induction cooktop. Please do your research next time. You also didn’t talk about the off-road lights on the top which the rebel doesn’t have. Disappointing.

Not A Bad Unit. I'm actually looking into 'van life' type RVs. I'm single, so I would like a lengthwise single bed/couch. Definately need TV and Satelite system with Data. Induction single burner, larger fridge, and slughtly bigger bathroom. I don't know if one like that is produced, or if i would likrly have to build one. A small generator would have been nice in this one, as well as the one I would like. Kinda small, but, hey if you're single, there is plenty room. If i bought this one. I would remove 2nd row seats, maybe put in a swivel recliner, and mount a TV....lol. Great review guys.

Thank you for doing this. I think that Jayco could have done so much more. And I totally agree with both of them that there is no microwave at least..Finally I think Winnebago should be their other travago floor plans on the 4x4 Mercedes...but back to Jayco, I think they need to do better with this unit....for instance why don't they supply the rear blackout and other bits that the national parks version have if they want to take the market?..nice try but for 200K neither one is really realistic in my view.

👍👍Thank you! Thank you!🔶️🔸️🤍🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🤍🔸️🔶️

The first thing I do is scroll ahead to see what Andrea's wearing. Then I can relax and enjoy the video. LOVE her clothes and accessories! And speaking of accessories, how hard is it for every RV to include a fold down or pull out work surface on the passenger side. For some reason, the Winnebago back area looked much more spacious? Is it wider?

I like the Winnebago better because: 1. It was higher off the ground, probably a higher lift kit. 2. 10” screen and the other options 3. Additional storage I did like the Jayco running boards, the light bar on top and above the cassette toilet door, and the bathroom door.

@JohnSeitz

Neither have a lift kit. The Winnebago is a 4x4 which Mercedes by default is 4” higher. Stock from Mercedes The Jayco shown is a 2WD unit and is factory height. Not sure why Matt or rather RVOne didn’t mention it.

I prefer Winnebago as well but when the Jayco is 20,000$ (or more) cheaper and offers you more than the Revel then it makes it harder to go with the Revel. It has more battery, has the light bar, it has the air compressor, it has nicer rims and it has the improved suspension. All those installed separately amount to a lot of money

Great video and great observations! The Pleasure Way Rekon on MB 4x4 platform is $40,000 less and has more flexibility features plus is fully 4 season, not sure about these 2 units. Plus 5 yr warrantee!

@@JohnSeitz somewhat agree and disagree. Pleasure way wanted it to be minimalistic and rugged. That's why they gave you two jerry cans to replace the grey tank. To be honest, all of us with a class b with a cassette toilet only use the grey tank to pour in the cassette to rinse it out after dumping and almost never dump it at a dump station. You are right it feels more like a custom build. The features, setup and price keeps it off my list for a future buy. Storyteller, jayco terrain/enterga launch and the Winnebago ekko is my top choice.

One thing about that second row of seats. When I was at the show in January, the guy there showed me that the inboard seat could slide left and right, to give more space for people in each seat. That makes it better to carry larger people when driving, then slide them together when camping so that they're not in the way as much. I still don't like the seats though, and wouldn't buy this or the Revel because they're a waste of space *for me.*

@MM-fe9mz

Жыл бұрын

Agreed the seats are a waste when it only sleeps 2. That's one thing I hate about what they did to the winnebago travato. It use to have a way to make a bed out of the seats so while it would be tight it could drive 4 and sleep 4.

I like B's but two things on these units I don't care for. Cassette toilet and the inability to stay connected to city water without leaving the door open. Why can't they provide a access port in the door, on the side or in the floor.

Are you sure that exhaust tube on the left side is the alternator? It looks very similar to the exhaust tube for a diesel fueled cabin heater. ( Wabasto is a popular brand)

So, those bars under your knees, on the passenger seats, don’t slide the seat forward so you can recline a little?

the OG wins for me too

I like this class B because it’s Jayco who makes Entegra. My dislikes are no stove or cook top. Don’t like bath room. And don’t like the seats. My likes are the window. The small ness. The way the cabinets lock. I love the Winnebago better. I like them both but Winnebago wins. For comfort. Thank you Matt and Andrea for shoring this class B.

The price is a hard no. Two people would be a constant fight. I would look at class Cs.

I am not a big fan of the two extra seats. Maybe I am wrong but a class B isn't really for more than two people so those seats seem to be a waste of space. Make it storage space or move the bathroom forward and add a bigger fridge. Much more practical than the extra seats.

A expert at rolling things up and always happy....hhhmmmmmm We know what's up. 🤣🤣😂😂👍🚌

So Matt I know you like Orange. Do you have Dutch in you? I always said “If you ain’t Dutch, you’re not much”

Wow…I’ve been watching your videos for years now but this is the first one I noticed that you did not know all the features . For one, there is no propane in that unit. The rear bottom plug next to the hitch is for onboard air compressor. Also, as previous comments, the back chairs do move to give more room. 😮. And there is couple counter extenders. You may have to do another video.

Like the Winnebago...you all need some kind of cooking surface; and that refrigerator is way to small. Otherwise I love this unit. Much better than the Revel.

The seat slide apart and forward. I like Matts videos but I wish sometimes they did a little homework vs run and gunning.

I prefer a Class B but I will buy a new van and convert it myself before paying $200k or anywhere near that. Doing it myself would also allow for a longer bed and leaving out the extra seats. I'd likely leave out a shower as one can clean their dirty parts with a warm washcloth or baby wipes. And I'd leave out the bathroom sink as one can easily make do with just a kitchen sink...I'd definitely have a kitchen. No kitchen is what I'd expect in a sub-$80k RV. With gas prices as they are, I do believe the RV manufacturers will soon be coming back to Earth with their prices.

The rear seats are cramped. The inner one should slide sideways into the aisle a bit when two people are sitting there. Otherwise, it can slide back toward the window to leave more room in the aisle. (This is a feature on many tour buses in Europe.)

No. The connection on the rear is an air connection. Not propane. There's an on board air compressor. There is a second one under hood. The exhaust by drivers door is the diesel heater/hot water heater. Is this 4x4? My entegra is and I thought the terrain was also. Maybe the LE version isn't.

Do your research. You didn’t even show the rear seats how they recline and slide away from each other for more comfort. Of course you forgot Jayco has a two year warranty.
