and it's called the super bee show and it's the largest show of its kind in all of North America that specializes in just small motorhomes and we're going to show you what's new and trendy our friends leisure travel vans are introducing and showing off a brand new model here at the show it is on that beautiful new 2019 mercedes chassis this one is called the unity RL you had asked me that question didn't you I'm not sure let's go find our friend Dean and ask him he'll know yeah maybe you can give us a tour show us everything in it so Dean this is the RL and this is pretty hot item I know I want a big award at the show it's got the 2019 mercedes chassis yes and that - but what is the RL stand for rear lounge come on in it's a beautiful little motor room so what's really cool about it it's really small so people you know they were looking at Class B vans like you had for a long time now you have an FX which we're very happy kind of want to have sleeping for for kind of two living areas so that's what we did with this rear lounge so we have a bed area here we have a mattress that goes across the driver and passenger seats they turn into swivel of course that's the new chassis look how beautiful that is at 10.25 inch monitor system look at that steering wheel beautiful it looks like an s-class Benz they so two people up here yep two people sitting up here we have two seatbelts here so we have total of four driver passenger two belts here and then come on back to the lounge area and we have the beautiful lounge which is quite unique as you can see so two recliners sitting back here you can see how beautiful it is super comfortable so you know for a twenty five foot one inch total Motorhome nineteen foot house the box it's nineteen feet look at this and you do the same thing with this one too going up yeah going back okay yep isn't that cool so bad yeah and then we have a beautiful little Murphy bed that pulls down here I'll show you that in a sec so and you got the big TV back to your soundbar and look at this atrium windows I mean it just has lots of natural light and what I really like about look at the little storage areas it's real smart you also have a table that you can mount back here if you want to work back here so if you have a job where you can not be at the office and you can work I mean look at this this is like an office back here as well and like pulls into like yeah that's the cool part right living here so if you have four people with you you can block off front area and back area yes I know and we still have the big stand-up shower which we were on the other side and in the bathroom so it's what's called a dry bath right not a wet bath so dry bath knots or your toilet a beautiful little bathroom nice big bathroom area I mean I'm a not a small guy right look lots of room in here and then over on the other side I like how we do this we kind of use the door to block off the two areas then you've got a big stand-up shower alright so we got my shoes on I'm six one you know every time you do this I wish it was hooked up with water because I would just sneak I know and I know there's probably like 20 million people that would like to do wouldn't we like to do that come on we would thanks big stand-up shower so this is what we call a dry bathroom so two-piece bathroom look this is all blocked off and now you and I are back here right there's lots of room big hanging closet here and the Murphy yeah let's have a look at that so well pretty simple to do and it's kind of a very unique Murphy bed in this respect so I just move these three cushions usually four cushions out of the way there's no problem and then we just this blocks off so this is the leg and the support yeah so I really like this so then comes down we're 75 58 wide now this is what's great about this bet like you can see I'm quite big so if somebody was laying here and if you want to come join me Mike you can slide outs with somebody so you're sleeping right yeah I can slide over this way he'll go to the bathroom at night so I'm not having to crawl over somebody that's half the fun sometime well it is you know if I was 25 years old that would be fabulous so yeah but that is very smart very smart yeah having that extra space right there at the end make it easy to get in and out yeah and then you know back here we've got uh you know USB ports inverted plugs this this model is a 2000 watt inverter AGM battery so you have lots of power has a propane generator which is an option go diesel as well if you go with the the propane you've got the auto jet start so if you have pets of a lot of magnet turn on the air conditioner and you get this new Dometic multi we do yeah as you walk back here this is what's really cool to look at this so I'm back here hey I need a beer or coke yeah I'm pretty open zawa yeah I know this because I have it's right you have this fridge that way yeah and then freezer same way so convection microwave yeah and you were mentioned in the Domenic's so this one the RL has a Dometic multiplexing system brand new system Dometic actually said it made it for us we're doing it on the RL this year we're very excited about it so you can control the entire motorhome off the multiplexing system what do you think of this this whole unit is so innovative this is considered a 2020 model yes 2020 model yet we're gonna start building it in september/october this is our concept vehicle we have a few little tweaks that we want to do it we're doing testing on it from starting next week until we start to build them in production on in September so this thing will start rolling off before the end of the year you will yeah it's quite exciting we're at the pleasure-way display at the Super Bee and this is a 2020 model and it is on that 2019 mercedes-benz chassis that we've been telling you about the model number for this is the 2020 pleasure-way plateau XL TD twin dinette that's what the TD stands for and you got to see that Marshall this is huge it is amazingly huge believe it or not these two twin beds are 74 inches in length and if I wanted to fill in the gap I could make it 86 inches and width you find a 22 footer with a 74 by 86 inch bed nowhere but here with pleasure-way twin beds and a dinette Wow all the way wherever you want to put it pretty neat stuff look at the storage we have we have a big drawer and next to it another big drawer up above lots of cabinets and of course look at this this is that 2019 mercedes-benz dashboard with this awesome nav system the electronic steering the 7-speed transmission this 2019 mercedes chassis is a winner the pleasure weight trophy no was introduced last fall it has a pop top and a very affordable entry-level price this has sleeping up above in a loft black area up at the top and then it has sleeping in the back so you could take the husband wife and a couple of kids then one thing it doesn't have though it does not have our bathroom this is like when the kids were young and we had the pop-up and we carried around a porta potty you could just get a cassette toilet and bring it with you now this is really squarely aimed at that adventure set that we've been talking about this ladder by the way top bar right there folds up and it stores let me go up and show you what we got up I see this look here we got solar flex panels these are really great solar so you've got 200 watts of solar let's see this system right here this is a rack system and this rack is perfect for kayak the surfboard stand up or it clearly it's appealing to that adventure set that we've been talking about this is the brand-new Class B startup based in Birmingham Alabama and the brand name tells it all exactly who they're after storyteller overland there's a lot of stories to be told out there when you're an Overlander or living off the grid and out-of-the-way spots and they're building this on to chasis the Sprinter the short sprint of chassis and the Ford Transit chassis and this is aimed at those people who truly want to unplug get away from it all and have action and adventure story teller Overland is a authentic outdoor adventure lifestyle brand focused on developing products for the adventure van and Class B market space and they really shine in that off-grid expression when it's time to go a little farther than then the natural Road would want to take this is a patent-pending design that we have to create not only a Murphy bed scenario when it's fully folded down but also a unique type of workspace some simple sink stops fold this down pull these legs down to support and what we have through this support mechanism here we're able to support up to 800 pounds worth of weight on either the work bed work bench or the work beds set so these sink down into these just guide them in and this would be the top cushion surface to begin making the bed but one of the things that we really like about it is if you simply fold that out of the way you've actually got a meaningful work surface to wear if you need some food prep area while you're cooking or if you need to change a tire on a bicycle or whatever you need a work surface for you've got a dedicated space that is here when you need it and runs and hides when you don't and then I see this side also comes down and you've got a really great bed we're still storage underneath that's right so if you use the same simple cinch strap we can fold this right down to join on top of that lift so we've got the makings of a very comfortable bed here you've got these cushions that easily tuck away and push down same deal over here and you'll see that they ultimately recess into these flair space that gives you additional room to sleep crossways across the van this is a great little unit lots of storage yeah what about solar battery power what do you have look that's the real secret of this build the power system on here is fairly next-level relative to what's available out there in the Class B space our power system we partnered with a company called Volta which allows us to have a truly automotive grade lithium ion battery set up that completely replaces any need for an onboard generator so you don't have to be able the noise or the fumes that come with a generator and instead you've got a nine kilowatt power supply system that can run just by I guess the easiest way to explain how powerful it truly is it can run this AC system entirely through the night for about eight and a half hours off of a single charge without having to run your battery next up we want to to a California startup now this startup is making a really cool band they call it the mod van this is our van that Phoebe won our van is full feature the cb1 includes the pop up top at the bed it includes the downstairs bed I think a stove a toilet a fridge cabinets leather seating for five comfortable leather seating for five dual batteries it has a lot of features it has everything you would mean in a camper van it has a cell phone booster and a solar panel and a high-capacity batteries has the four by four as well who's your market so when I built this I was really thinking of course for myself you know I built it for myself I'm a rock climber I guess snowboarding in the winter more of a weekend warrior now how can people find out about mod dance they go to our website that's the best source of information it's WWF Gamescom we really have to show you this brand Midwest automotive design now there recently were acquired by the Rev group a big RV manufacturing company but they make a number of different models and all of them are really unique the biggest trend we see is an attraction for more of an active lifestyle so the B vans in particular are appealing to more people than ever before because they're easy to drive you can take them anywhere and you can use them as a second car so in a lot of ways they're more economical than any other type of RV because you typically don't have to store them you can use them as a daily driver if you want and they're very self contained one of the things that is so interesting about your brands though is how customizable they mmm-hmm by the customer yes like all customers yes so we've been building vans for 15 years and in what we offer is a culmination of all of those things plus we are small and nimble or a very small company although we're owned by the Rev group which is a very large company so how we have the economic backing of a large financially stable company but we're small and nimble enough that we can build not only some custom things but we can pay attention to the market and what the market demands so some of those new features would be offer entire package roof rack and ladder a power drop-down bed and all of these things are available on any model that we build ok I climbed up here cuz I have to show you something really neat solar panels now you know most solar panels are very susceptible to shade when there's even a even sometimes clouds or tree limbs they have they cut the effectiveness this is a different system they use zamp and can you see this solar panel down here look at that it's actually underneath the mesh and the mesh does not interfere with the source seller's picking up charge but what is the big difference about the interior of your models compared to some of the other ones you know there's only so much space they all have yes right no use to me so most manufacturers have their particular components made and then they install them on a production line there they're more of kind of a cookie cutter every model is made in kind of a specific way whereas ours every single unit is hand-built so we do everything ourselves other than the appliances so we build all of our own furniture we build all of our own cabinetry and so and we have two different cabinet finishes we have a satin finish and a gloss finish we have five different cabinet colors we have five different leather colors and you can mix and match those we have three different seating styles so everything that is in one model can go pretty much in the other end it right they're all interchangeable so makes a little more confusing for the customer because a certain model is not built a certain way but if you see something on one model you can probably get it on another and it's probably already built somewhere so it's easy to find pricing and so our pricing is actually very competitive because again we do everything ourselves so we don't have a lot of middle people that we have to pay a lot of different vendors in between so our quality control is much better too because we again build it ourselves so in Indiana it is and so our warranty claims are much less than the average RV manufacturer - because we have so much better attention to detail and quality control and it depends so it depends what kind of chassis you're wanting so for example 4x4 chassis 'he's definitely take a lot longer right they're harder to get so those are probably you know nine to ten months out if you're wanting a 4x4 oh but if you're wanting you know something that we already have on the ground very very quick three to four months typically that drops though it has a very comfortable sofa that you can also use inside there is plenty of center space for your kayak for your bikes or whatever else you need to bring Winnebago is just introduced a brand new Class B called the bolt this one is also aimed at that action and adventure set this one it's very high-end the bolt is is our latest addition in our Class B lineup made on the Mercedes Sprinter non extended 170 inch chassis basically you know for us it's new from the ground up to match what's going on with the mercedes chassis we want to take everything that we've learned from our other bands to trovato the era the rebel and kind of take the best of that and put it into this so this is the best we can do right now and we're pretty proud of the way turned out this has the pure three energy management system which it uses the lithium batteries but it's kind of a really largest pack you know kind of in the industry it's eleven thousand six hundred of what hours of energy so whereas the trovato as 8600 so it's a big you know 33% more battery in this one so that will allow you to go you know anywhere you want kind of off the grid and kind of seamlessly you don't have to start a generator or do anything it's one button push the button and you have power just like your house three amps of power throughout the coach all the outlets are powered you can run the air conditioner the microwave whatever you need to do so so one of the things that you know we think really you know people really like is a quiet coach we have the new pullman ndq air conditioner on here which is just about half as noisy as the previous one so it cuts the noise in half and and so very much more comfortable inside and of course now with lithium battery you don't have a generator at all so you know it's much more comfortable to be in we also added a lot more insulation than we've ever had any of our coaches and it's both thermal and noise and vibration insulation you don't seem to spare our many luxuries this is a very large this isn't comfortable this is this is comfortable livin this is the we're we're call it the most confident the most comfortable van ever made those windows these windows really open I mean look yeah everybody else is my hand is out the window yeah I just pop it up and rub it on show them that because look at that it's like a wheel yep then you pop it down and Power Man yeah and every other Class B we've been in those windows open like that so this one you know if you want for the bugs probably what I like about these windows is that you can have privacy and airflow yeah so yeah you know you can get up to there and you really you know you're above kind of head Heights and it gives you all that that capability the beds have gel foam in the mattresses so they're very comfortable but they also have the slat system underneath so that gives you that extra spring suspension but it also allows air flow one of the mattresses so keep the condensation down these loops on the either end so if you want to tie down Beach to there you know alright I my dog Jennifer needs to see this cool right now the the highest percentage of first-time buyers that we have first name IV buyers is our Class B segment also the for the highest percentage of women buyers is the Class B segment and single buyers in general you know kind of gravitating towards the Class B a lot of you know just really interesting folks who maybe never would have thought of having an RV before they will shoot this is this looks like fun it's really makes life easy to have a small motor home like this you can park it anywhere as you know and you know you have now with the easy one button control you don't have to kind of have all of the different systems to worry about these kind of makes a use a lot easier so it's obvious from this year's superbee show that the small motorhome segment is alive and thriving it sure is and I hope you got a sense of how popular these small motor homes are do us a favor before you leave this video give us a thumbs up and also don't forget if you haven't already done so subscribe to our RV lifestyle Channel right here on YouTube thank you for watching happy trails you
