Own a piece of adventure van history! This 2019 Winnebago Revel, built on the robust 2018 Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 144 chassis with low range, is the iconic van that pioneered the 4WD adventure van segment. Boasting a dependable 3.0-liter inline diesel engine and 117,000 proven miles, this "analog" model year is renowned for its reliability—a true go-anywhere, do-anything vehicle.
As the second owners of "Jolene," we've added over 70,000 memorable miles, exploring remote landscapes without a single hitch. She's in excellent condition and currently configured for the modern adventurer, featuring a unique layout with two independent workspaces—perfect for remote work on the road.
Enthusiasts know the 2019 Revel stands out. As a pre-COVID build, it's celebrated in forums for its exceptional reliability and build quality. Our extensive cross-country and border-to-border travels confirm this reputation. Beyond its legendary durability, this generation offers a unique advantage: a second sleeping area. The convertible dinette provides comfortable rest for a child or an adult up to approximately 5'8".
