| B Thompson | I bought a 95 chev 210 Roadtrek new. I still have it. It has 227,000 plus miles. I have only had a few normal problems with it. I wouldn't sell or trade it for anything. For a new owner I would say join the Roadtrek club. The information that is shared is very helpful. | Re: Roadtrek RS-Adventurous class B motorhome |

| okieredhead | My 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. | Re: Roadtrek RS-Adventurous class B motorhome |
| Fatty Falcone | I smelled gas, saw a small leak on the drivers side of my chevy 2003 190 popular, so I removed the fuel tank ( plastic ) and found that it leaked at the factory pressed in filler connection seal at the top of the tank, I could not find a after market tank for a 2003 and a new tank from chevy runs $1200.00 with out installation so i took JB weld and give it 3 coats and my problem was solve, I just hope it holds up ?

| Fatty Falcone | I just replaced the propane regulator for the BBQ, on my 2003 roadtrek popular 190, do to it being mounted on it's side instead of flat,( no room to mount it flat) the trailer hitch has to be removed to get access to it. | Re: Roadtrek 190-Popular class B motorhome |
| pennysmom | We recently purchased a 1998 Roadtrek 190 Popular and are readying it for our shake-down trip before planning a lengthy trip early next year. Can someone tell me how to replace the sewer hose on a 1998? What's there is only about 4 feet long and fairly brittle. | Re: Roadtrek 190-Popular class B motorhome |
| Chef Schnauzer | I 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 | Re: Roadtrek RS-Adventurous class B motorhome |
| route 66 travelers | just 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. | Re: Roadtrek 210 class B motorhome |
| Reed4 | We just bought the 2012 Roadtrek 210 Simplicity. It really is great. Only 22' long but it has everything we need. | Re: Roadtrek 190-Simplicity motorhome |
| Kobe | I've been looking at Roadtreks for years. I'm amazed they brought out a lower cost model - market demand I guess. Thanks for the review I'm going to look at it. | Re: Roadtrek 190-Simplicity motorhome |
| Paul Douglas | By far the Roadtrek is the best overall vehicle I have ever owned, and I have owned a lot. Mostly luxury vehicles but this is the best. | Re: Roadtrek SS-Agile motorhome |
| The Bailey's, California | The 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!!
| Re: Roadtrek 190 class B motorhome |
| Nancy M El Cajon, CA | I 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. | Re: Roadtrek 190 class B motorhome |
| Ken B | I like the Agile better than the Ideal I think - not sure about the rear slide-out... | Re: Roadtrek SS-Agile motorhome |
| Trekker | Can 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. | Re: Roadtrek RS-Adventurous class B motorhome |
| barbara | We have a Roadtrek adventurous and we love it. It gets great gas mileage. If you have a flat, BE AWARE THAT THE SPARE IS ON A STEEL RIM AND THE LUG NUTS THAT HOLD THE SPARE ON ARE SHORT AND THEY ARE THE ONES TO USE WHEN YOU PUT THE SPARE ON THE RV. If you use the 5 lugs that came off the flat tire, they will be too long and will ruin the hub. Reading the book would have told us that. But who would think that a spare tire goes on with different lugs? | Re: Roadtrek RS-Adventurous class B motorhome |
| Jon | I own a 1994 Roadtrek 190 Popular and I am extreamly pleased with it. My grandfather left it to me when he passed away in 2008. Growing up with my grandparents I was around when they bought our Roadtrek new from the lot.
I do have some issues with the generator as my grandfather could not keep up with the monthly maintenance during his later years. I was in the military overseas and couldn't help maintain it.
The passenger door window goes up when it wants too. Going down, not a problem.
We have had the engine replaced twice, due to bad mechanics but it runs GREAT now.
Now my wife and I enjoy the Roadtrek on the weekends and been camping in it a couple of times.
I highly reccomend the Roadtrek Club especially for new R/T owners. They have awesome ralleys every year. Something that my grandparents and I used to take advantage of.
The left and right rear farrings were damaged when a tow truck driver didn't know what he was doing and cracked both of them. Due to my line of work I was able to fix it and you cant even tell except for the paint.
But once again, Roadtreks are really a way to go. However I am eventually going to get a trailer to tow behind for longer camp stays. But for weekends and what not GREAT RIG! | Re: Roadtrek 190-Popular class B motorhome |
| Al C | Yes 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. | Re: Roadtrek SS-Ideal motorhome |
| Gypsie in style | I 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. | Re: Roadtrek SS-Ideal motorhome |
| Happy Hiker | We 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!! | Re: Roadtrek 190 class B motorhome |
| Danielle | I am debating between 170 and 190.
Want something small double bed with the comfort of home. Fuel efficiancy. Only 2 people I have read about pleasure way...any comment about them?. Thank you | Re: Roadtrek 170 class B motorhome |
| 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. | Re: Roadtrek 170 class B motorhome |
| 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 | Re: Roadtrek SS-Ideal motorhome |
| 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. | Re: Roadtrek 190 class B motorhome |
| 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. | Re: Roadtrek 190 class B motorhome |
| Howard | I've owned a Roadtrek 190 for 3 years with no problems other than routine maintenance. It's really changed our lives we use it at weekends and never worry about hotels. | Re: Roadtrek 190-Popular class B motorhome |
| Fatty Falcone | My 2003 chevy road trek 190 poplars onan generator with only 500 hrs of use stopped working, the inner windings burn out, it cost me $2048.00 to get it repaired.other wise, no other problems except for the drivers side power window,an $800.00 repair( you have to get the track and motor, it's all one part ) | Re: Roadtrek 190-Popular class B motorhome |
| 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. | Re: Roadtrek 170 class B motorhome |
| Derek Carnes | We 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. | Re: Roadtrek 190 class B motorhome |
| Rama | We 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. | Re: Roadtrek RS-Adventurous class B motorhome |
| Dave Cortese | Dear Trekker:
I have a 1994 Class B 190. I am looking for an airconditioner that will fit in the space that I have (13 1/8" high and 21" wide. Do you know where I can get a 10,000 BTU a/c to fit this size?
My email is dacortese@bellsouth.net. I would appreciate your help.

| Jay H | It'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. | Re: Roadtrek 210 class B motorhome |
| SKipJ | One 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. | Re: Roadtrek 210 class B motorhome |
| Kath | Really 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. | Re: Roadtrek 210 class B motorhomes |
| roadwarrior | I 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 | Re: Roadtrek RS-Adventurous class B motorhome |
| Pat and Deb Murphy | Bought 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. | 2008 Roadtrek SS-Agile class B motorhome |
| Brenda Cordon | Really love the look and layout of the Roadtrek and definitely think class B is the way to go. We have a class A and if we can sell it I'm set to buy the Roadtrek. | Re: Roadtrek SS-Agile class B motorhome |
| Paula Cheshire | I have a Roadtrek Agile. It's my second Roadtrek and my 4th RV. This is the best. Roadtrek has everything you need for 2 people and it's great for just getting up and going. Storing is easy and we take trips we never would have made. | 2008 Roadtrek SS-Agile class B motorhome |
| DanaMite | Wow, the Roadtrek Agile is pretty sweet. Love the compact size. Wonder what the MPG is. Wish they made something like this in a 4x4 for my active lifestyle & back road addiction. | Re: Roadtrek SS-Agile class B motorhome |
| DesrtDrmr | We LOVE our Roadtrek! We have had a Monaco 36', a Lance pick up camper, a Rexhall 32' Motor home, a TrailLte B+, and several travel trailers. We were tired of paying for storage, and I was having trouble getting into and out of a higher vehicle. When we saw Class Bs we knew that one of those was for us! After checking out several different manufacturers, we chose the Roadtrek. We wish we'd gotten one long ago. We don't have the room of the big motor homes, but we have almost everything they have. Actually, we have TWO seating areas with a table in the RT, which we didn't have in the bigger ones. It's nice not to have to tow another vehicle, but knowing that we could if we wished. We can park in a regular parking space anywhere. We can park our RT in our driveway, as it looks pretty much like a regular van. We use it for traveling....the convenience of the kitchen and bathroom for long distance travel is wonderful. We have camped in it....and have several trips planned with it where we will camp for several nights and spend other nights in a motel or with relatives. We use it around town, as it has a lift on the back for my mobility scooter. It's a perfect all around vehicle for us! | Roadtrek 190 class B motorhome |
| saeedbl | I want buy one of these motorhomes but I can't because I live in Iran . In Iran we don't have any motorhome for shopping. | Re: Roadtrek 190 class B motorhome |
