Winnebago Revel Delivery + Van Tour

Hi everyone!

We’re taking delivery of our 2023 #WinnebagoRevel 4x4 from La Mesa RV in this video. We’re also taking you along with us during our orientation of the van to get aquatinted with it.

We’re also going on our first trip with the van to Otay Lakes in San Diego for Memorial Day Weekend. Our goal is to take small day and night trips so we can figure out what we need for the van so we’re more prepared as we venture off into longer trips.

Hope you enjoy! So far, we’re totally loving the van, the experience and most importantly the memories!

18:58 I’ve watched your orientation video several times. Informative and well done, Mikey! I am soon to take delivery of a new Revel myself, and your video was very helpful with lots of great tips/advice. Thank you!

Mikee and Don, thank you for sharing your joy with us(your viewers)!

"Oh, the Places You'll Go!" perfectly described your van life adventures!
“Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So... get on your way!”

How flipping exciting!! Beautiful Camper Van too! Can't wait to see all the trips you take in it!

[mtbwithtfb]

thanks for the video. I really like the build on it. I just need something basic and this gives me food for thought. Thanks again.

[Ultramobility]

congratulations mikee and don! looking forward to roadtripping with you guys

Nice Revel walkthrough. Thanks for sharing. Regarding your air fryer’s short cord: There is an outlet at the bottom of the doorway, that is reachable from the outside drop-down table. Look at under the refrigerator door near the exit door. Have fun with your Revel!

[rlcarver]

Hi another set of outlets should be under the fridge for your outdoor use, easier cord reach.

Hi Mikee! It was fun watching the orientation. As you go along, you're definitely going to find cool things to add. I think the cassette toilet is so convenient. So much easier than hooking up a hose to dump. How do you like driving it?

Congratulations!!🎉 🚐 The Winnebago is 😍 beautiful.

You got a good orientation tech! I might be a little biased, but I think he’s the best! Enjoy your new RecVan. 😊

[cherylallen]

Mikee…. I am so happy for you all! It’s soooo nice! You all looked so relaxed and happy! Can’t wait to see all the trips taken….Mother Nature is so beautiful! Love the Stewardess vibes! 👨‍✈️👨‍✈️👨‍✈️👨‍✈️👨‍✈️

Super late here but hopefully you found the AC outlet below the fridge by now so you don’t need to prop the air dryer up on books lol.. are you still happy with your purchase?

[minastacey]

[glynsun]

[Patrick_Ross]

Looks like a great rig! Did you consider the EKKO at all?

[dpl]

I think you should name your van "Blow by Blow"..

[opeyemiolanrewaju]

Hi Mikee....Quick Question: I hope my Question is not any way offensive.
Did you change your last name after marriage, or Donny changed his?

Wish it was not on a Mercedes Chassis, , , should have smart plug external not the plastic one...interesting drain release location...just a fancy Solis....should include a curtain for separating front cabin..bed is the highlight of the van....please get a deep sink Winnebago...least it has a vent fan...12 Volt AC?....not yet
