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

Jan MI'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.
BrianWould 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.
LindaWe 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.
Derek CarnesWe have a 2004 Roadtrek 190 Versatile. We really picked this model because I liked the look of it and we'd read a lot about Roadtreks but it's been really great. Another thing we wanted was to be able to park it in our driveway and not have to have storage as we had with a Fleetwood class A we owned before this. Downsizing suited us. I would say I'm really impressed with the quality of the Roadtrek. We really enjoy it.
RamaWe love our Adventurous. Now had it for 2 years and used it a lot. We've even used it for long trips and even though I miss having a big bathroom I would never go back to a class A.
Jay HIt's been a dream of ours to have a Roadtrek and tour the country. This 210 model looks perfect. We're due to retire in 2011 and if it works out, this is the one for us.
SKipJOne problem I noticed when we were looking at Roadtreks was the overhead clearance. It may have changed but I was constantly rubbing my head on the roof. I'm just under 6' tall. If one is looking for milage, I guess I'd have to look at a Sprinter based vehicle. To me 14 mpg isn't that great.
KathReally like this. Perfect for my husband and I. We're thinking of downsizing from a class A. Our problem isn't really the size or how many it sleeps, we're only 2 people, but storing it. We're spending too much money keeping our class A in storage.
roadwarriorI drove my Roadtrek sprinter with my son from Baltimore to Alaska and back. We took a side trip and drove north of the Arctic Circle - over 1,000 miles of dirt road, NO PROBLEMS. The vehicle did Great, no mechanical problems (except the microwave handle) - never averaged less then 22 mpg. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone
Pat and Deb MurphyBought our Agile in April of 08. Love the size and mpg, amenities and facilities. Unfortunately we have had a major problem with the rear side windows leaking when it rains. One window was replaced and now Roadtrek is saying the problem maybe faulty weather stripping. We are currently waiting for the weather stripping to fix the other side window. We have been working with Campers Inn and Roadtrek to get this problem resolved but we have been working on this issue since July of 08 and it is now Feb of 09 and the situation is still unresolved. So love the vehicle but watch those windows.
