Built on the powerful yet fuel-efficient Ram ProMaster chassis, the Travato has been a favorite of camper van enthusiasts since its launch in 2014. This Class B motorhome combines all the comforts of home in a compact package. The Travato’s premium features include: an energy-saving Truma Combi Eco Plus heating system, a Coleman Mach 10 NDQ air conditioner, 230-watt solar panels, Corian countertops, and Deluxe FROLI Sleep System.

As any B-van fan knows, space is at a premium when you’re camping in a coach that’s only 21-feet long. The Travato uses SmartSpace design philosophy to maximize efficiency with hidden storage, full-extension drawer slides, fold-down counter extensions, and more.

The 59G and 59GL floorplans include a 28″ x 51″ wet bath located at the rear of the coach and large corner bed that flips up to make room for bikes or other gear. Upfront, the Flex Bed System sleeps another person comfortably. The Travato 59K and 59KL floorplans feature a rear wet bath and bench seats that convert to two twin beds or a single king size bed.

One of the first motorhomes in its class built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, the Winnebago Era launched a whole new age of upscale touring. With its diesel engine, luxury upgrades, and enviable fuel economy, this RV has introduced a whole new set of travelers to the world of Winnebago B-vans.

There are four Era floorplans available for solo travelers, couples, and even families. The 70A features the Flex Bed system that lets you choose two beds or a single queen bed in the rear, while the lounge area converts to a second sleeping space perfect for kids. The 70B and 70X both feature a rear sofa bed and generously sized (24″ x 43″) wet bath. Last, but certainly not least, is the Era 70M. This floorplan is truly remarkable because it is the only Winnebago Class B motorhome to feature a slideout. The 70M features a sofa and Murphy+ bed perfect for two. The additional space in this model allows for a full sized bathroom with separate shower.

No matter which floorplan you choose, the well-designed lounge and living area make the most of the Era’s interior. A movable pedestal table provides a convenient surface for dining, working, playing games, or relaxing. The Ultraleather cab seats have armrests, adjustable lumbar support, adjustable headrests, and full slide and recline functions. They also swivel for added lounge seating when in camp.

The Era’s attractive galley is equipped with Corian countertop, range with glass top, and microwave. The water purification system is standard, as well as the stainless steel sink and decorative backsplash.

Winnebago Revel B-Van

It’s no surprise that the Winnebago Revel B-Van was awarded RV Pro’s Best of Show 2018. This diesel-powered Class B RV is designed with one mission in mind. To provide the most active, all-or-nothing, outdoor enthusiasts with every amenity possible for your rugged lifestyle.

The Revel is built on the trusted and durable Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 chassis and measures 19 feet and 7 inches. Powered by a 3-liter, turbo-diesel engine, this rocky-road warrior is capable of taking your outdoor adventures to the next level.

The straightforward floorplan (there’s only one) boasts a full gallery for meal prep with a compressor-driven refrigerator/freezer and single burner range. The all-in-one wet bath doubles as a gear closet. Swivel cab seats add functionality. A gel foam mattress on a power lift bed guarantees a great night’s sleep after every adventure. During the day, raise the bed to reveal a 140 cubic foot storage garage – perfect for all your gear.

Winnebago didn’t pass up the opportunity to test their comfortable and functional designs on this unit, either. The Revel is ready for any season with a diesel-fired heating system, available Coleman Mach 10 NDQ A/C unit, and extensive insulation. Even the fresh and gray water tanks are insulated and heated. For off-the-grid roaming, the Revel includes standard solar charging panels and a 2,000-watt AC/DC inverter. Winnebago has also eliminated the need for a separate black water holding tank thanks to a cassette-style toilet. Serious adventures need look no further.
