The Grech RV Turismo-ion Twin AWD was made to get you off the beaten path for a carefree and flawless RV camping experience. At just over 19 feet long, the Turismo-ion is the smallest Class B in the remarkably elegant and upscale Grech RV line. However, just because the Turismo-ion is small doesn’t mean it lacks the luxury found in Grech RV’s larger 24-foot Strada-ion or the similarly appointed 22-foot Terreno-ion Twin. Like both of these larger models, the Turismo-ion has an air ride suspension, giving it a superbly smooth ride.
This all-electric Class B serves up all the amenities found in the Terreno-ion Twin, albeit in a smaller package. Plus (as with all Grech RVs) the fully electric Turismo-ion is built on a fully loaded diesel Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. Its shorter wheelbase (144-inch vs the Terreno-ion’s 170-inch wheelbase) gives the Turismo-ion increased nimbleness and maneuverability that make it as much at home on a city street as it is on a mountain road. And make no mistake: The Turismo is definitely meant to take you exploring roads less traveled and beyond.
A Tale of Two Floorplans
The Turismo-ion is available in two floorplans: Tour or Twin. The key difference between the two floorplans is that the Turismo-ion Tour has four seatbelts and a comfortable lounge area in the back of the RV with a memory foam sofa and twin ottomans, which, of course, transforms itself into a single sleeping area for up to two people; the Turismo-ion Twin’s lounge/sleeping area reveals it has different priorities.
While the Turismo-ion Twin’s floorplan is very similar to Tour in many ways, its floorplan is arranged with two reclining sofas facing each other at the rear of the RV. At night, an adult can stretch out comfortably on each sofa, but both sofas also transform into a single large sleeping area for up to two adults. Significantly, the Twin’s floorplan gives you additional space to store larger toys. Like a surfboard. Or fishing gear. Or a bicycle between the sofas. In short, the Tour give you room for (two) more people; the Twin gives you room for more toys.
If you’re looking for a luxurious, expedition-ready Class B RV — and you need room for gear — the Turismo-ion Twin AWD might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Real RV Reviews, Done Your Way
When RV Trader asked RV shoppers (like you) what was most important in their RV buying process, what do you think they said? They overwhelmingly mentioned six key areas: sleeping space, bathroom, living area, kitchen, four-season capability, and storage.
So, every time RV Trader reviews an RV, we take a close look at those six categories. RV Trader also hires experienced RV experts to evaluate each model and conduct an independent RV reviews process. So, you can know the good, the bad, and the unexpected about every RV we review.
I’m Lynne, and that’s where I come in. I’m an RV expert, and when I review an RV, my goal is always to review it objectively. So, when RV Trader sent me to evaluate six Grech RV models and floorplans in Riverside, California, I did exactly that. I went over every inch of this RV and put together an objective, unbiased review that I hope will be valuable to RV shoppers like you.
So, let’s get rolling with my review of the Twin floorplan of the Grech RV Turismo-ion AWD.
Sleeping Space
In the rear of this RV, you’ll find two sumptuous ultraleather sofas that face one another. When it’s time for bed, the Twin floorplan gives you two options to choose from. Travelers that don’t want to share a bed can each sleep very comfortably on the memory foam sofas. A single person, or two people that don’t mind sharing a bed can use the wall mounted Firefly touchscreen controller (or Firefly phone app) to recline both sofas into a comfortable 66-inch by 76-inch bed. There’s a spacious storage cabinet over the rear doors that is perfect for stowing bedding and pillows. Plus if you like to watch a movie at bedtime you’ll love that Grech RV puts a 24-inch LED smart TV in the rear area of this RV with a premium soundbar.
Other cool features you’ll find in the sleeping area are built-in shelves with 110V power outlets and USB charging outlets with handy shelves to stash your electronics neatly away so they’ll be charged and ready to go in the morning.
Nighty Night
Before you go to sleep, you’ll probably want to go to the Firefly panel (or the Firefly App on your phone) and choose the Shades option. From there you can choose the Master option to lower all the shades at once. Alternatively, you could choose to lower individual shades using the descriptive icons on the panel or on the app. The Firefly system is really flawless technology that’s designed to be easy to use without any learning curve.
Another thing I loved in the Grech RVs are the insect screens on the side and rear doors. The power insect screen at the back drops from the top of the doorway to protect RV occupants. This feature lets you have the rear doors open without worrying about mosquitos coming in. That means, you could back the Turismo-ion Twin AWD up to a beautiful river, open the rear doors, drop the screen, and enjoy a beautiful view without being bothered by bugs.
Bathroom
The Turismo-ion Twin has a spacious wet bath that’s packed with plenty of great little features that add up to an aura of elegant luxury. It’s true that many RV wet baths can feel cramped, this one has a bright and spacious feel. Some of the keys to this spacious feel is a concealed window as well as three mirrors strategically placed to reflect light. All the surfaces in the wet bath are uniformly light colored and glossy to reflect light and add to the roomy feel. The result is lighting that is good enough that it would be easy to shave or apply makeup in this bathroom. Those who need more privacy can pull the window’s manual shade closed.
I loved that the toilet is ceramic because ceramic RV toilets are easy to clean. Ceramic RV toilets also seem to maintain their appearance for much longer than the plastic toilets commonly found in RV bathrooms.
Bathroom Features We Love
- One-piece, easy-to-clean, high-gloss surface
- Excellent lighting for shaving or makeup
- Concealed bathroom window
- Pull-out, multi-position shaving/makeup mirror
- Pull-out faucet and transforms into a shower head
- Multiple hooks for hanging towels and washcloths
- Manual pull-down window shade
- Cloth shower curtain to contain moisture
- Large mirror that can be used outside the bathroom when door is open
- Protected toilet tissue holder that keeps toilet tissue dry while someone showers
Living Area
As mentioned, two comfy sofas sit at the rear of the Twin floorplan. There is a multiposition Lagun style table, which can be quickly deployed or removed as needed. The Turismo-ion Twin’s sumptuous and fully adjustable captain’s chairs also swivel around to face the main area of the RV creating additional seating without compromising room in this space conscious RV. What’s more, the seat closest to the door can be positioned to make use of a pop up table that deploys from the end of the kitchen cabinetry as a desk or eating surface.
Outside the Turismo, there’s a generous awning that adds a sheltered outdoor living area. The awning even has a wind sensor. The Firefly App (or touch pad) lets you easily control and adjust both the awning and its adjustable lighting. By the way, I loved the design-conscious way that Grech RV adds the power awning onto all Grech RVs. Instead of just plunking it next to the roof of the RV and screwing it on (like many manufacturers do), Grech RV maintains the visual integrity of their RV’s elegant appearance by aerodynamically blending the awning cover into the exterior design. It’s the kind attention to detail that helps to create trust in Grech RV’s craftsmanship and quality. Grech RV seems aware that these little details make a big difference.
Letting the Outdoors In
To take even more living space outdoors, the exterior side of the rear door power shade is white. With the rear doors open, it makes a perfect projection screen for enjoying a movie night under the stars. All you’d need to add would be a starry night, a projector and some popcorn. I was impressed that Grech RV made one side of this particular shade white on all its 2025 RVs in response to a casual suggestion by a customer.
Kitchen
The kitchen area of the Turismo-ion Twin has a lot of features that we’ve become accustomed to finding in Class As, Cs, and fifth wheels. There’s a lot to love in the Turismo-ion Twin’s functional kitchen, including its gorgeous quartz countertops. Grech RV maximizes counter space with an integrated two-burner induction cooktop and a removable countertop that can be placed over the spacious farmhouse-style sink. Grech RV has also added extra counter space with that cleverly concealed flip up table/work surface mentioned earlier. All of this makes for an unexpectedly practical and functional galley style kitchen in a Class B.
The Turismo-ion Twin AWD boasts an energy efficient induction range, a combination convection oven/air fryer/microwave, and a small fridge. Kitchen storage is more than adequate and contained in hand crafted solid hardwood cabinets and drawers. Here’s a list of the features our experts loved about this RV kitchen.
Our Favorite Kitchen Features
- Flip-up work surface/table
- Quartz countertops
- Two-burner Induction stove
- Combination microwave/convection/air fryer
- Spacious farmhouse-style sink
- Faucet with pull-out sprayer
- Large 12V refrigerator with bottom freezer
- Plenty of storage in hardwood cabinets and drawers
- An integrated flip out storage caddy under the sink for dishwashing tools
Four-Season Capability
Grech RV puts multiple layers of insulation into all its RV floors, walls, and ceilings. The Turismo-ion Twin is no exception. Freshwater and gray water tanks are carefully insulated and heated too. The Gree air conditioner doubles as a delightfully quiet heat pump that keeps things nice and cozy when you want to camp in cooler temperatures. However, when it’s really cold out, you have heating options. There’s also the quiet Timberline heater that operates on diesel. (In winter, it’s quite nice to have the choice of two different heating appliances — neither of which involve filling/lugging a propane bottle.)
While all these features help occupants to stay comfortable, Grech RV spokesperson John Black is quick to point out that these RVs are not designed to be used in extreme cold (like a Canadian winter). However, what these RVs will do is keep you comfortable for four seasons where winter temperatures are even slightly milder. With that in mind, the Turismo-ion Twin is probably better classified as a three-and-a-half-season camper.
Storage Space
The Turismo-ion Twin has impressive storage capacity in the form of spacious, beautifully handcrafted hardwood cabinets. There’s lots of room to store all the essentials including bedding, clothing, and food. There’s enough room here to store everything you need for a road trip or a few days of camping. I was also delighted to find multiple shelves and cubbies throughout the RV where you could securely stash a book or an electronic device.
A bonus of the Twin floorplan is that there is storage space for sports gear such as fishing rods, a bicycle, or a surfboard between the two sofas at the rear of the RV. Additionally, the Turismo’s 5000-pound towing capacity allows you to easily tow a small trailer that could even carry extra toys, like ATVs or trail bikes.
About Those Cabinets
Cabinets in Grech RVs are beautifully hand-crafted from high-grade birch plywood using light or dark wood veneers. But it’s not all about beauty here: There is no MDF (otherwise known as particle board) in these cabinets at all. This gives the cabinets structural integrity and helps to ensure their longevity.
The cabinets also lock with an easy click of a pop-out button on the cabinet handle. Locking the cabinets keeps them from opening and spilling their contents while you’re bumping along a campground road. It’s yet another nice little touch in Grech RVs that gives you a carefree RV experience.
Extra Details for Potential Buyers
Appearances Can Be … Revealing
Grech RVs have a refined and understated elegance — so much so that they camouflage themselves in cities and suburban neighborhoods. From the outside, they look very much like an ordinary Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. A nice one. All appliances and extrusions on the roof of these RVs (like the A/C and the awning cap) are painted to match the exterior color. So, unless you have a discerning eye, it’s hard to tell you’re looking at an RV — which is especially nice for RVers who live in an HOA community.
Another cool feature is that there isn’t a single utility access hole cut into any of the side walls of Grech RVs. Instead, all the utility access points are concealed beneath a protective strip of stainless steel along the bottom quarter of the RV. Again, it’s in keeping with the RV’s elegant appearance. But there is more to this than good looks. No intrusion points mean fewer places water can get in. (It also means you don’t need to protect your RV from water damage with yearly resealing.)
The Fun-to-Drive Factor
The Turismo-ion Twin AWD is built on a fully optioned Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. And it has super comfortable seats. In the Turismo-ion, you get adjustable heated and cooled driver and front passenger seats. Both driver and passenger seats have programmable memory for the seat position preferences of up to two people. Both driver and front passenger get a sumptuous, memory foam captain chair that has lumbar support.
A raised driving position and expansive windows offer an impressive view of the road. All the controls Sprinter are easy to find and within easy reach while you’re driving. The list of goodies goes on. A nice, big touch screen that includes a back-up camera and an on-board navigation system. And beautiful AWD handling. It felt remarkably responsive and had plenty of power for climbing hills. The Turismo-ion Twin AWD would be just at home running around town as it would be exploring the backcountry.
Extending Your Drive Off-Grid
On that note, the Turismo-ion Twin AWD is well-equipped to take you off the grid for up to six days at a time. That being said, it’s kitted out with 200 watts of solar panels, and a 1,260-amp-hour lithium-Ion battery package as well as a 3000-watt Xantrex inverter. The Turismo-ion Twin AWD also charges its batteries whenever you’re driving, so you don’t need to rely on sunny days to maintain your power supply.

After the Sale Service
Grech RV is a relative newcomer to the RV industry, but its time in the luxury vehicle game (long before jumping into the RV market in 2021) means it has a refreshingly different approach to customer service.
Right from the start, Grech RV raised the bar for the RV industry with its quick response to customer concerns and outstanding commitment to both quality and customer service
If a Grech RV customer has an issue with their RV, Grech RV wants you to give them— not your dealer —the first call. (They even provide you with a personal number.) Doing so, Grech RV has been able to diagnose over 90 percent of problems without an owner ever having to waste time, money, or energy with maintenance.
If maintenance is required, Grech RV is there for that too, even helping arrange for an approved technician to fix it right away. This level of customer care is unusual — and it’s the kind of service we’d love to see the entire RV industry match.
