Any opinions on Winnebago Revel

https://winnebagoind.com/products/class-b/2018/revel/overview

What would be a fair price on this?

Pros/Cons ?

Well at last--Saves all that conversion headaches!
BUT I suppose to many that is half the fun!

And only at $135,000, a bargain! Get two!

Yes one in a bright color for winter operations like ski-ing, and one in a summer like color--For summer!

WITH hand creme dispenser don't forget for uz men who drink "weht wine" and Georgio cosmetic cabinet for "those working men" in designer coveralls!

Nearly the same price as the much better equipped, 170 3500 Winnie ERA w/o 4WD

Not similar in function though. The ERA is a luxury RV. The Revel is much more suited to carrying gear. Where would I put my spare moto wheels, toolboxes, wet wetsuits, etc, in the ERA? If you don't "get" the Revel, you don't need the Revel. If you need the Revel, you don't "get" the ERA.

Different strokes.

Also Revel is about 100K fully loaded - I enquired from dealers
While not chump change it seems to be in ball park to a lot of 4x4 Sprinter based DIY's considering that a new loaded 4x4 sprinter is about 55K

That is perfectly stated!

I watched the video tour, it's way too cramped inside for me. No thanks.

Confirmed. 100K plus tax and reg. I just signed the contract. Delivery will be around 11/10.

BTW, I just posted my first post! Only took me 5 years to get with the program.��

Congrats! Keep us posted about the new rig. Do you have any other sprinter/conversion experience?

No, only online education from here and YouTube. I am familiar with Sportmoble. They are built where I live and they are first class. My decision on the Revel was the based on price and availability.

Congrats, Fresno!

Curious if anyone knows what brand and model of roof rack/ladder and windows are used on the Revel?

I like this van as well but for me it would have to be in the longer wheelbase.

The insulated and hydronic heater fresh water (and heated, but not insulated grey) are nice features. Wonder who made the tanks for them?

Curious
What features do you think are missing in the Revel. Do you think it is possible to install a roof rack on the Revel that you could walk on. I realize that it has solar panels on the roof?

I'd bet those are Dometic Seitz windows

Seems really more for day trips and one nighters. Props for creativity though.

a big question is how much payload is left with full tanks? Once you start adding gear it may be overweight quite quickly.

Regardless, props for Winnebago finally catching on. Probably the new ownership though.

I have been told it is exclusive to W by Summit Products. The cross bars and awning are Fiamma.

I love this build. I was worried that the $135K ask price was 'starting' and the real price would be much higher. The price you got makes me actually want to call a dealer and try to make a deal. Any news on the options and upsell? Did you get the 9" display on the dash or the AC unit? How much extra were they? Any other news on the options?

I've had great luck with my 2002 VW Eurovan Camper and this looks like the rig I want to replace it with. My only wish is that they made this with a pop top like what you can get from Sportsmobile. Then I could sleep 4 and still get it into my garage with a 10' door.

I went with an AC, Upgraded Console and Audio, Upgraded tires/Wheels - 105k with all upgrades possible

Dealer on east coast.
