Roadtrek says:
"Do you want an ideal way to leave the rest of the world behind without sacrificing creature comforts or driving and parking convenience? Based on the great handling Chevrolet Express 3500 extended van, the 190 models set the mood whether you're lazing down endless backcountry roads, or searching for that restaurant the locals have been raving about.

When it's cruising for just the two of you, the 190-Popular really comes into its own. You'll be cheerful and rested in the front captain's seats when you watch dusk silhouette the road ahead, and you're seeking that perfect spot to spend the night. When it's time to turn in, the rear dinette or power sofa converts to a sumptuous king-size bed (6'4" long on one side) or into two comfy twin beds (6'4" & 6’0” long).For extra passengers, there are forward facing seatbelts at the rear (two with dinette, three with sofa).

Round those features off with a full-length wardrobe, loads of storage, a front dining table and a well-equipped galley - just pack up and you can hit the road for weeks. Now that's romance"

RoTi READERS COMMENTS

The Roadtrek 190 is popular with RoTi readers as you can read in the consumer reports section. Some of the comments include:

  • "I would buy another one in a heartbeat"

  • "My 1996 Chevy 190 Versatile Roadtrek is wonderful"

  • "We've had virtually no problems in the 18 months we've owned it and we've driven about 11,000 miles"

"The ability to dine at the front lets you leave the rear beds made up for sleeping full time. People can wake up and retire at different times, plus you don’t have to set up a dinette or sofa to eat every morning, or make up a bed every night."

Dave R :   Purchased 97/170 in 2006 with 112,000 mi 180,000 km now has 132,500 mi212,000 km no major problems. Great to travel in we were rear ended in Montreal and pushed into an 18-wheeler with no personal injuries and the RT survived well .Reccommend one strongly.

Mountain Mama :   on the Roadtrek SS Ideal, I heard that the back doors open and there is a slide out. Is the slide out made from metal, or is it like a pop out camper out of tent material? Does anyone have one and how do you like it? We are going to retire and buy a class B motorhome and have been looking at the Roadtrek and Leisure Vans Free Flight. Thanks! Mountain Mama

Jan M :   I'm a real roadtrekkie. Love them. My father had one and we used it a lot when I was a child. We're spending the winter at our home in Arizona and I'm going to buy the 190 and tour.

Brian :   Would love to reach Trekker. I am going to live in my soon to be Road Trek 190, and would love to see how living there was for him.

Linda :   We have enjoyed many miles in our 170 2000/2001 Dodge Roadtrek. We've learned to travel lightly and drive smartly. We mostly get 15 mpg and sometimes 16 mpg. Only complaint is the frig doesn't work well when outside temperature is above 80. There are fixes for this problem, but we tend to just slip an ice chest in the frig when it's hot. Love the fact it can be parked in a regular spot. Highly recommend a Roadtrek to adventurers out there who don't think they need to bring their living room with them.
