Embassy Rally & Crackerdocking


There was lots of time to check out everyone's van to get ideas for accessories & modifications. It was great!

Stella, Google & Mary LOVE the Embassy! This pic shows our new Kelty Backroads Shelter. It helps keep the entry dry during a storm.

Terry shows off the new Embassy Cape Cod B+.

I bumped into Robert when I checked out the interior of the Cape Cod. He has the Roads of Life YouTube page with lots of helpful videos about owning & traveling in an Embassy Class B camper van.

Guy & Rose Anne have the Amore Van YouTube page. There are lots of videos about how to do just about anything you need to do for your Embassy, ideas for accessories & videos from their travels. Guy interviewed us during the event. Please check it out when you have 15 minutes to spare. Here's the video link.

Great lunch for all of the rally participants & staff.

There was a ton of stuff for the free raffle. This photo doesn't do it justice.

More Seat Belts & Pup Friends

We went back to Master Tech RV to get the final 2 back seat belts installed. Today they did the 2 on the water bladder side. Google & Stella still wanted to sit on the Lithium-ion side. They didn't realize they have more room on the other side.

Making friends at Embassy.

Back Seat Belt Install & First Time Driving

Stella is lovin' the Embassy!

We went to Master Tech RV to have seat belts installed in the back for the pups & passengers. Today they did the 2 on the Lithium-ion side.

 
Hanging out with Stella & Google during the install.
 

The pups approve & feel much safer all belted in.

My first time driving our new big rig.

Big Day at Embassy!

The big day is here!!!

 
We've been dreaming about this for decades! They even put cameras on the welcome screen!
 

Terry introduced us to our new Embassy Dolphin S Class B camper van. It's so high tech & there's so much to learn!


We brought a pen for Google & Stella to hang out in.


Touring the factory. Embassy is an amazing company that also builds disaster relief vehicles for The Salvation Army.

You can pick all of the interior colors. We chose light grey all around so it would be brighter inside.

There's so much to learn! Nick spent the day teaching us how to use everything.

FROM THE EMBASSY WEBSITE:

 

SUPERIOR MATERIALS

Embassy RV was the first Manufacturer to introduce ZERO WOOD in their RV builds. Wood RV components just don’t stand up to years of use, so you won’t find any in our vehicles. Embassy uses marine-grade composite materials as well as aluminum cabinet frames and a one-piece composite fiberglass sub-floor to serve as the sure foundation of quality.

 

OPEN CONCEPT

By taking the time to completely re-think the traditional location of key features, we’ve been able to keep the main cabin area open and spacious. There’s lots of room to spread out and enjoy your Class B lifestyle.

 

BEST-IN-CLASS-STORAGE

Every cubic inch of an Embassy Class B RV has been efficiently divided and configured to provide more storage than any other vehicle in its class. Cabinets overhead, underneath and behind are designed for easy access and maximum capacity. Features include a 5-drawer pantry cabinet, 5-drawer linen cabinet and a wardrobe cabinet with closet rod and shelves.

 

BEST POWER MERGING SOFA BED

The Power Merging Sofa System easily converts into comfortable bed in just a few seconds. It’s bigger than a queen but smaller than a king. No need for a complicated reconfiguration of the cabin area. Just flip the switch, add cushion to the end table, and you’re ready for lights out. Removable vinyl slipcovers allow the cushions to breathe for a cooler sleep experience.

 

BATTERY POWERED PERFECTION

All Embassy Class B RV models are built around the strength of our core Lithium-ion battery systems. By using the best quality, most energy-efficient motors, lights and appliances possible, our batteries easily outlast and outperform generator equipped vehicles. Our UL approved Lithium-ion battery system will operate the electrical features of your vehicle for days at a time and can be fully recharged with the vehicle’s engine. Options include an advanced battery management system with Bluetooth connectivity for monitoring.

 

12V AIR CONDITIONING

Keep your vehicle cool and your battery use at a minimum with our ultra efficient 12v Air Conditioner. The AC works together with our 8-layer aircraft insulation process to bring your vehicle to the desired temperature faster and hold it there longer.

 

HYDRONIC HEAT

Our gasoline hydronic system heats your air and water quickly and more efficiently than electric or LP systems.

 

INNOVATIVE INSULATION

We use 8 layers of specialized aircraft insulation that allows all of our other systems to become ultra-efficient. Unlike other RV insulation materials, it won’t absorb moisture or odors. Your vehicle will stay fresh & clean smelling for many years to come.

 

CONVERTIBLE BATHROOM

Switch from changing area with table and lighted vanity mirror to fully functional bathroom in seconds! Includes your choice of toilet system, handheld shower unit, in-floor shower pan with dual drains and sliding marine composite doors that keep water out of the main cabin. Privacy and efficiency are yours. Dry Flush by Laveo toilet.

 

WATER SYSTEM WITH FILTRATION

Twin flexible fresh and gray water tanks work together to save space and allow tanks to be stored inside, instead of underneath the vehicle. No worries about freezing water lines. Our Embassy Ozone water system is the first of its kind in any RV.

 

32” HIDE-AWAY HDTV

Folding down from its hidden ceiling compartment is the largest HDTV in its class. Includes Samsung smart features, Sony Blu-ray player and JBL sound system. HDMI connections for game systems are easily accessible.

 

MOVABLE TABLE BY LAGUN

The Lagun Table System allows you to mount your table in a variety of locations throughout the vehicle. It’s fully adjustable and locks in rock-solid for any configuration you may need.

 

GALLEY SINK & COUNTERTOP

Our galley is equipped with a large stainless steel sink, a beautiful high quality fixture and a countertop with drip lip edging. It’s large and deep enough to help with both cooking and clean up. Our countertops bring the luxury and strength or Corian out on the road with you. The cabinets underneath store a wastebasket and our water purification system.

 

MICROWAVE

The Embassy Dolphin S is equipped with a microwave oven that will cook your meals while keeping vehicle battery use to a minimum. It’s positioned overhead and out of the way to free up valuable counter space.

 

LARGE 12V REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER

This 6.8 cubic foot refrigerator-freezer is the largest of its kind in any Class B. There’s plenty of room for you to stock up on produce, beverages, deli items, frozen foods and more. It only takes 12 volts of power to keep everything cool and fresh. We picked the 5.3 cubic foot Vitrifrigo to give us storage above the fridge.

 

SOFT, ADJUSTABLE LED LIGHTING

You shouldn’t have to choose between seeing clearly and creating a mood. The fully adjustable, soft LED lighting system ensure you can create whatever lighting is necessary or desired whether it’s bright light to read by or low light to help you unwind and relax.

 

EMBASSY CUSTOM VENTING SYSTEM

Our custom 12v 4-vent system is unlike any other in the RV industry. Instead of a conventional roof-mounted RV vent, we use 4 vents 2-in and 2-out that draw fresh air in on the passenger side and expel air out on the driver’s side without a single hole on the roof. This keeps us looking stealth and a roofline free of anything mounted on it or through it. Each vent is rated for 50,000 hours and are around 90cfm of airflow on high. They draw about 1.5 adc on high and all 4 only draw 1.5 adc on ¼ speed, which is where you will be most of the time. You can leave them on for over 400 hours without affecting our standard 630ah lithium battery or for over 600 hours using our optional 920ah lithium battery. Great for owners with pets.

Here are the specs from the embassyrv.com website.
