I’ve put on the table about $27,000 on two trade ins over 13 years and 188,000 miles driven so far. I will most likely sell my RV back to Advanced RV as others have done and that is an unknown. My electric articulating bed design has sold many subsequent ARVs simply because no one else has since offered it. Why a fourth? Experience, challenge and changing expectations. In 2011 there was no lithium ion batteries in a B. I got the state of the art in 2015 far superior to what Roadtrek is offering to this day. Now there are better. The challenge. So far every 144” WB Sprinter has rather been spartan in concept. I believe you can have a B on that WB that has the functionality of a longer van and just about everything else I’ve seen from any other manufacturer. So what the heck? Why not a fourth? I’m an architect yet my wife complains I am reluctant to urban driving, yet I have probably done more than many, and the challenge is to go anywhere, not suffer long term travel functionality or behave like a 20 year old hippie in tolerant lifestyle.
Right now in my design I have the kitchen functionality of my existing 24 foot EB Sprinter with a 6.8 cf Novakool refrigerator/Freezer, microwave/convection oven, built in Keurig and nearly as much storage and counter space. I have a larger bathroom. Inside storage for two hanging bicycles or two folding bicycles or anything else desired in such a space. I don’t have to decide whether staying up or sleeping as nothing has to convert.
I’m also aiming for the 2019 Sprinter model which I understand you may be able to order them next month. Plus, I will benefit from the latest developments from Advanced RV to chose from of which there are many.
