Currently I am looking at two B vans.
Winnebago Solis Pocket, and the Thor scope / Rise 18M
The Thor has all these things that the Winny does not.
Bathroom with toilet and shower, microwave, generator, awning and a larger display screen. Bed is
really uncomfortable and not much storage for a bed topper.
The Winny on the other hand has the much much better bed with tons of storage underneath and that really neat dinette.
It will be just me and I would like to do a road trip across the states.
And will try my best to keep my expenses down to a minimum.
Probably be traveling 200 miles or so per day, dont see myself staying in any one spot for more than a few days. So I guess that means I won't be doing much boondocking unless the spots are not to far off the beaten path.
The lack of generator on the winny means I will be staying at parks with hookup if I plan to travel in the summer (no gen = no ac).
And I dont think me showering behind my van in a park is a good idea so that means that I will need parks that have showers.
They way I see keeping my expenses down will be to get good gas mileage (both vans are on the Ram Promaster 1500, 17-20 MPG) and finding free or low cost RV parks when possible.
Both are similarly priced, but the features are stacking up for the Thor. And I do think the build quality on the thor was not great. The one at the dealer had a somewhat broken bed/couch.
I have seen people add a tankless hot water heater off the back of the pocket and that would be fun if boondocking, but nothing for the lack of A/C except advice to travel when its cooler out.
Anyway hope I was clear enough in my rambles and hopefully someone has also looked at both of these vans could chime in. Thanks for reading.
