2015 Dynamax Rev 24TB

[fastpaddler1]

Completed 8000 kms(5000) miles trip from Vancouver,BC to Winnipeg, Manitoba via TransCanadaHighway 1 returning on Yellowhead route 16. We encountered awful roads, heavy traffic, winding mountainous roads through Kicking Horse Pass and stead, NW winds head-on mostly from Winnipeg back UPHILL to Edmonton Alta. To say the Rev 24 was great is un understatement. It returned about 16 MPG on Canadian gallon and handled some rough weather without any problem at all. This is a tough, well built MH and especially the quality of construction and stiffness of the structure. Comfortable beds and good layout without the downside of a slideout. The Dodge Promaster 6sp auto and 290 HP v6 were flawless. Only complaint we had was the On Demand Hot water system which was tough to regulate--only able to regulate it was to turn on the sink tap first. Otherwise, a great MH and the best of 4 we have owned. Well done Dynamax. BTW the argument that only single wheels out back is nonsense. There was no swaying or problems and the patented Dynaride was exceptional.

I agree about the single rear wheel...not much different than a van.

To solve your water problem...if you take the shower hose off AT THE FAUCET, you'll see the outlet of the faucet. I think those are heavily restricted and half of the hole is covered with plastic. You can drill that out and that will get you greater flow through that shower head. Also maybe look at a higher flow head. What you want is a 2 or 2.5 gpm head. The oxygenic is 2.0 I think. The Atwood needs 1.5gpm to activate the burner. Just take out any flow restriction devices that are there. The Atwood used to only require I think 0.8, but after the recall that bumped up to 1.5, which is tough to get on an RV shower head.

Girard makes one as well that works on 0.8gpm...we use the Truma now which works at 0.4gpm (but has been successfully tested down to 0.25gpm). That however is over twice the cost of the Girard and the Atwood.

Thanks. I will do what you suggest next Spring when I unwrap my Revtoy…

That's too funny ,I figured out the hot water too ,you have to run the sink to talk a shower

As an owner of a 24RB I agree, great coach, comfortable, economical and durable.!! So far, no issues!

I also have a 2015 REV 24TB. I've put 34K miles on it so far. I tried every trick to get some consistency with the Atwood hot water heater and finally bought a Truma Comfort. Now that's a hot water heater! The lack of a slide and the floor plan were my favorite aspects of the 24TB and I haven't changed my mind. I'd buy it again.

Thank you Frenchcreek I needed to hear that

Glad you had a good trip. We've done Houston to LA and back and to Durango, CO and back and had a similar experience to yours. We love our REV 24TB.

Yup, mirrors my experience with the rock steady stability, especially in rough weather.

Did the Truma Comfort fit in the space vacated by the Atwood which I still have?tks

[bclemens]

Truma is designed to DIRECTLY replace the Atwood. Girard also makes theirs to replace the Atwood.

FYI, Truma actually sells three types of doors. Old style (medium flange) for new installs. New style. (This is a narrower, more robust flange) for the latest new installs and "Retrofit". This is a larger flange designed to cover the Atwood door in the case that you have a painted unit.

You can also get the door painted black, so that instead of needing to match up the paint which can be costly, you can just install a black one that will match the look of the windows and trim.

Thanks. What is the model number for the Truma so I can have my RV dealer order and fit one?

[bclemens]

Not sure there is a model...its just called a Truma Comfort. There is also a Truma Comfort plus, but that has a return line to circulate water. It is not plumbed for that one.

[fastpaddler1]

Thanks for info. I will followup on the Truma Comfort model
