RV FEATURE
If you’ re intrigued by the possibility of owning one, but you’ re uncertain as to whether it suited your lifestyle, the best thing you could do would be to rent one from Apollo RV first. Head off for a few days with an open mind, experiment with the various storage spaces, and develop a feel for how the Sprinter drives.
SUMMING UP
I thoroughly enjoyed camping in the Kea Nomad M700. Sure, it was an ex-rental unit but again, it was refurbished and there were very signs, aside from the mileage on the odometer, that it wasn’ t brand new.
I’ m not trying to sell you on anything. All I can tell you is that this unit did everything that it promised. It kept me comfortable, it provided hot showers, a toilet, a place to cook( although I mostly ate food purchased from a nearby general store) and a place to eat and sleep.
The financial aspect is certainly appealing too. A quick look online told me that a brand new threeberth Kea Nomad M700 would run you over $ 160K, whereas a refurbished ex-rental unit has a price tag of around $ 105K – that’ s a very healthy saving, money you could direct towards a big trip around the country. It also comes with a three-year warranty. But in terms of the cost, I would just note that the prices mentioned were roughly what they were at the time of writing.
