I have had it for three years and I have had more issues with the MB Sprinter chassis than I have the Winnebago house side of things. The only major Winnebago issue I have had, and it just happened, is that the 2nd alternator installed by Winnebago that charges the RV batteries died. The Winnebago build quality is not great but almost every RV is built like garbage. I have considered having a custom van built, but it would be 100k more than what I paid for the Revel so I just improve things in the Revel as needed.

Regretfully wasn't using the Transit as much as we intended. Over the weekend swapped it for an Expedition. If anyone is the market for a low mileage '23 Crew XLT 350 MR 148" AWD Ecoboost 9500lbs GVWR with factory towing package and brake controller with unfinished interior, here's the dealer listing located in southern NJ near Philly: https://www.holmanfordmapleshade.co...-350-base-awd-3d-cargo-van-1ftbw2dg3pka86025/
Here's a few images until the dealer gets to it.

Figured I would update as this thread is cooking.
I have had the Ram Promaster City for about two years. It is my daily now. Purchased with 80k on the odometer, sitting at 115k now.
The Van is pretty cheap to work on and has good enough gas mileage that I don’t fret (high twenties traveling the country at 80mph). It can tow a smaller trailer, which is a huge plus around the house.
I have the bare bones model and like it that way. Pretty over technology and driving a first class couch around. Plus this thing was cheap relative to new vehicle prices.
This has been to CA and back, with stops in Sedona, Nashville, Flagstaff, Moab and Johnson Valley CA. My wife and I have had it up and down the eastern seaboard with the bikes, stops in DC, Key West, Savannah and Saint Augustine.
It is a great solo trip van. The picture below shows the two week trip setup with a full size dirtbike, fatbike and sleeping area in the van.
The delivery van option is fairly discrete, its size makes it very city friendly should I want to shack up in Vegas or something during
My travels.
