With the way you're outfitting it, you're going to have a great rig. Two HD receivers in a B! I wouldn't be able to use the in-motion dish in my Travato, but I've considered having a Winegard Travler dish, DVR, inverter and second house battery installed. Hope you'll come back here and...

For about ten years I've used GPS programs on a laptop, primarily because I prefer a large, easy-to-read screen. Much more pleasant to use while driving than the small screens on phones and handheld devices. Used Waze on the phone once. No thanks. In the car, I velcro the laptop to a...

RoadHogg, Sounds like you won't need much storage space, based on your travel plans, but a cargo trailer will surely help with that. Also, those receiver hitch cargo boxes can carry a bunch of stuff. Might be easier than pulling a trailer. I travel for three weeks to a month at a time, and...

Being a Los Angeles homeowner I see this firsthand every day. A major street next to my neighborhood is often lined day and night with RVs of various types. Some park within the neighborhood in front of schools or a local grocery store or, in very rare cases, in front of homes on quiet...

When I stopped at Wal-Mart tonight at Roswell, NM the young lady at the customer service desk said it was OK to park as long as they didn't get any complaints about me. Complaints? Yeah, like wild parties and stuff. I said I'm 60 and traveling alone, do I look like I'll be throwing wild...

Congratulations on the van. Looks like a nice setup. Do you have any storage under the beds? I've never driven a class A or towed a trailer, so I can't compare them with a van. But I sure like driving mine, a Winnebago Travato. Countless times over the past year since I got it I've squeezed...

As to the Orion and Rev, I spoke with Phil King, Coachmen's class C rep at Pomona. He said Coachmen will continue to build Orions on the remaining ProMaster chassis they have in stock, and will then switch to the gas Transits. They have 30 some Transits on order for this year and 30 some...

More Compass photos

Saw the Compass at Pomona. The bed is a flip-up arrangement with a sofa, or a cushioned seat resembling a sofa, underneath. The "sofa"

Sofa bed

Twin beds with storage underneath

Saw two Gallerias at the Pomona show--and was impressed. Spoke with Coachmen's class B rep, Jerry Hunter. He said they weren't ready in time for Hershey, so they rolled them out at Pomona. It comes in three floor plans, as mlts22 said, with four or three chairs, but Hunter said a buyer...

2015 Winnebago Travato 59G, 1st generation, 3.6L V-6 gas. My trips usually last 2-3 weeks; one lasted a month. Driving out west in deserts and mountains. Some flats, some steep grades. 50-50 local and highway driving. Recent trip averages: 15.16 15.60 15.77 14.44 Much driving on...

The Travato seats weren't comfortable enough to me, especially on long drives, so I added a set of seat and back cushions from Amazon: Conformax "Cocoon of Comfort" Gel Car Cushion Combo Set. Expensive, but they're comfortable. Wouldn't drive without them now. Amazon.com: CONFORMAX "COCOON...

Yeah, Winnebago told the dealer the lengthy pipe holds a lot of propane.
