Customer Reviews
Very informative
Great podcast to learn about Storyteller vans. Some great guests who provide insight into the systems and popular accessories for these vehicles. Definitely worth a listen if you have a Storyteller or similar van.
For all considering Storyteller, Revel & Others
This podcast provides a lot of eye openers for owners and those considering buying an adventure van. Truly helpful listening/watching!
Must listen every week!
So weather you are considering various types of Class B’s or specifically a Storyteller Overland (STO) Mode models, this weekly Podcast is a MUST listen. Each weekly Podcast is a mix of interviews of STO Corporate employees, enhancements from 2nd party vendors or sincere interviews with STO private Owners. YoungWa (Podcast interviewer/STO Owner) and the entire Podcast Team (Park Media) gives the subscribed listener a vast amount of insight and knowledge on the subject matter. This Podcast is essential as a gigantic gift to the STO community, weather being an Owner or a “want a be”. I never miss an episode and learn more each time. (NOTE - I have no affiliation with Storyteller Overland Corp nor the STO Nation Podcast) Just an honest opinion for others.
