Roadtrek 170-Popular class B motorhome exterior

Roadtrek says "The 170 has many features you take for granted in a car, like better fuel economy than most class B's or camper vans (never mind larger motorhomes), along with the full-size motorhome features you would expect from any Roadtrek."

"With three seats at the front and an L-shaped lounge at the rear, the 170-Popular makes a great passenger vehicle for five. Add a fully-equipped galley and many other features and you’ve got a nice motorhome for two or three."  We show pictures of the beautiful interior below:

The Roadtrek 170-Popular seats five and sleeps three with ease - optional folding mattress required at front.  You can see the seating and sleeping arrangements is the pictures above and below.
Roadtrek says: "The rear L-shaped lounge converts easily to a 6’2” double bed that is both spacious and comfortable. With “across the rear” storage below the bed, you have all kinds of room for the things you want to bring along. The front cloverleaf dining table stores neatly out of the way, creating even more room to stretch out and relax."

The flat screen TV and DVD player are optional but as Roadtrek says: "You have an entertainment system that takes up very little room while providing you with something to do on a rainy day. The TV rotates into the aisle so you can watch it from the front captain’s seats – the most comfortable seats in the house."

You can see the arrangement of the 170 on the floorplans below.  We think it really is a clever and useful layout.  The bathroom area is temporarily enclosed with bifold door that also creates a private change area

billhow do you remove the drivers side window/ventilator assembly behind the refrigerator
okieredheadMy husband and I are looking at purchasing an rv within the next year. One concern I have with class b is the fact that my husband is 6'4" tall. Wondered if this would be an issue with the Adventurous.
Chef SchnauzerI just looked at the newest RoadTrek - WOW - I have been toying with the idea of buying a Road Trek and Just started saving up for a healthy downpayment. I'm going to have to go used - I guess I'd hire a mechanic to test drive it for me. And the advantages of desiel - do they still exist? Seems to me the price of desiel it just never retured to it's position (relitave to unleaded). I gotta tell you, I can't wait for my first B class freedom mobile. schnaume@yahoo.com
route 66 travelersjust returned from a road trip from st simons is, ga, to los angeles, ca, on our new roadtrek 210 versatile. five of us traveled on it in good comfort. the van handled the mountain grades without any problems. its a new engine, we drove approx 5800 miles rd trip. best gas mil was 14.8 and we were loaded pretty heavy for five people. the only problem was the ac doesnt cool enough for us. it has the standard overhead cool cat ac/heat pump unit. anyone know about any replacement acs for the roadtrek that puts out more colder air? i reaaly dont want the heat pump because the unit also has a furnace. other than that, we love our rig and plan to put alot of miles on it.
The Bailey's, CaliforniaThe 190-Versatile is not only making an excellent 2nd car, but a new way, on a moments notice, to visit friends and decide and stay overnight in our Roadtrek. We are having fun!!
Nancy M El Cajon, CAI have a 93 Roadtrek Popular and love it. Even though it is old, I never want to get rid of it. I want to fix it up, however and am looking for some parts. If anyone can tell me where I can get some used parts I would be grateful. I think the Roadtrek is a superior RV of it's class.
TrekkerCan you really park the RT Adventurous in a regular size parking space? like grocery parking? some people say yes, but RT is 23 feet long, there is no way it will fit, unless you take 2 parking spaces. Please clarify RT Adventurous owners. Thanks.
Al CYes you are right Gypsie about the twin beds it would be nicer. We were looking also at the Agile but like you said it's nicer to look outside then to look at the gally. I am with you all the way on that.
Gypsie in styleI have look at the SS.Ideal. Too bad they don't make twin beds. As for the SS.Agile they have twin beds BUT the stove and sink is on the wrong side. It's much nicer to have both of them on the side of the awning and still talk with your friends. Looking at my neighbor does not interest me. So I have to look at Great West or Pleasure Way.
Happy HikerWe just bought a 190 Popular. Any suggestions about how to maximize the storage space? Never had an rv before so we are looking for ideas and suggestions from the road warriors out there. My husband and I are used to traveling light. Thanks!!
