| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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! |
| 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. |
| gypsy | Hi just to say my husband and I just bought a roadtrek we love it cheaper on gas and travels well, we are leaving canada end of 2008 and traveling for 6 months, I was wondering are the any roadtrek events in the usa anytime during the winter thank you |
| Trekker | I’ve owned a 1995 Roadtrek 190 Versatile Dodge with a 318 cu.in. V-8 since late-‘94. It wasn't easy, but I lived in it full-time for 8 years in all! I've towed a 24' trailer & a small pickup truck with it. It has 80,000 mi. on it now & I'm planning to start travelling again this summer. All in all, it has been a great vehicle. Problems? Not many. Roadtrek had a recall on this model in '95/'96 for a serious brake problem. The rear spring could rupture the brake line leaving you without brakes - brake line needed to be rerouted. The day after I received the notice, I lost the brakes just as I was pulling into a campsite! Roadtrek paid for towing & repair. Make sure the previous owner has had this work done. Speaking of brakes, my vehicle seems to need the front rotors "turned" more often than it should. I suspect the brakes aren't heavy-duty enough for the load I'm putting on them & I don't know of any solution. When I had the first full tune-up done (36,000 mi.), the mechanic told me he couldn't replace the fuel filter because it was impossible to reach. At 50,000 mi. the filter clogged up completely. In order to get at it, they had remove the holding tanks and toilet! They reinstalled it under the passenger door. Needless to say, this was a VERY expensive fix for a problem that could have been avoided had Roadtrek spent 15 minutes & a few dollars more when assembling the vehicle. I called them & complained bitterly! They refused to pay a penny for the repairs. The original rear air conditioner was only 7500 BTUs - not enough to cool when in the hot sun. It went out in a few years and I replaced it with a 10,000 BTU unit that does the job. At about 72,000 mi. I had problems with the idler pulley on the Dodge engine. Besides the pulley, I had some hoses, belts & other parts replaced. It wound up to be rather expensive. By the way, as with any Class B RV, some repairs tend to be more expensive because there is more labor involved in getting at the problem. For instance, the refrigerator has to be removed to clean the igniter. I've also replaced the ceiling fan, toilet, stove exhaust fan, tires, shocks, etc....what I consider normal stuff. And, I've maintained the vehicle religiously (that's important). Sound like a lot? Did I discourage you? I hope not. Look at it this way, these are ALL the major repairs I've had with this RV in almost 14 years! Ask any other RV owner and I'm sure they will tell you that: "That ain't bad!" And I love the compact size, maneuverability, gas mileage, and the fact that you can park it just about anywhere. I still think it's a great vehicle. Give it a try! |
| Dan Chase | We bought the 2005 Roadtrek 190 Popular and have no regrets. It's big enough for my wife and I and we've done about 25,000 miles of happy camping. I don't know why anyone wants anything bigger unless they're full timing. We get about 14 mpg on long trips. |
| Ron J. | I have an '05 RT190P and have been more than satisfied. No warranty problems, easy servicing - and only "noise" is when I forgot to store something or left something loose. I would buy another one in a heartbeat. Have added macerator, bilstein shocks, resonator and upgraded fantasic fan - and travel'n with the gas prices going up. |
| Phil, The Solar Man, retired | My 1996 Chevy 190 Versatile Roadtrek is wonderful. Had it converted to 4 wheel drive and is solar equipped. Camp remotely, never plug in, but have microwave, TV/VCR, vacuum, etc. Much fun! |
| John V. | I am waiting on word from the dealer to order the Roadtrek Adventurous! I have looked at lots of RV's, and this one will be perfect for what my wife and I want it for, a.k.a., weekend trips, long trips, taking the grandkids camping, 7 seatbelt positions, reliability, and fuel economy. To answer John's concerns about pricing, with the long term financing, tax break as a second home, and the high resale value of this Roadtrek, it can be affordable to those of us 'non-elites', of which I am one (I'm a retired teacher, my wife is a nurse). Life is too short to not enjoy, and this Roadtrek offers a way to enjoy it even more. Happy Trails! |
| Ken and Sally Pearce | We've owned one Class C and 2 Class A motorhomes and we've now decided that for us smaller is better. We've bought a Roadtrek 190 and find that ith a Class B we have storage for everything we need and we can travel in comfort anywhere we like without the restrictions of a bigger motorhome. Class B motorhomes are easier to drive and more fun. |
| Norman Crawford | I really like the sleak look of the Adventurous. I've been looking at Class B's for a long time but would like to see the Adventurous before we make our final decision. I think Class B's are the best RV choice for just 2 people without kids and who use it mainly just at weekends and odd extended periods. |
| Bobby 56 | We looked for a long time before deciding on a 2003 Roadtrek 190 with 32,000 miles on it. It was a good choice. I think the first owners must have dealt with all the new motorhome problems (if there were any and I guess all new RVs have some problems.) We've had virtually no problems in the 18 months we've owned it and we've driven about 11,000 miles. I like the look of the new Adventurous and think I'll take a look in November when they come out. Don't think I can afford to change but who knows? I would certainly go for another Roadtrek and really don't know why anyone wants anything bigger. I really wouldn't like the idea of driving around in a 40 foot motorhome, the Roadtrek is just right. |
| Ron B | The Adventurous is a beautiful looking class B. I've been an admirer of Roadtrek for a long time but this one looks the best. Lots of improvements too. |
| Desert Dreamer | We've had travel trailers, Class A motorhomes from 32 to 36 feet, a truck camper and a Class B+ motorhome before buying our Road Trek. We LOVE the RoadTrek, easy to drive, easy to park, and perfect for travelling. |
| retired4fun | We own a RT 190P...it gives us the mobility and freedom to go when and where we please. With our previous TT's, and a C, we always had to be on the lookout for a CG. Now we stop when we want - the Trek fits in where cars go so we can utilize parking lots, etc. It has all the amenities we wanted, kitchen, TV, toilet, shower, bed. It has a great ride and good economy. We're gone in a few minutes and when we stay at CG...set up in minutes. |
| Shelby | We rv'd in both a 32' and then a 40' motorcoach. I liked the luxury of space and amenities. I am in the process of considering a compact rv where the emphasis is on ease of travel - no towing - and getting in and out of spaces and also a resonable gas mileage. I would only consider one of these if it would fit in our garage. The hassle of storing an rv is too crazy and expensive. This one looks really nice. I will have to see one to understand the bathroom showering situation. Also - I would like to go to the factory to get a sense of the commitment to detail and quality control that goes into it's manufacture. I am going to read more RoTi Roadtrek reports. Thanks. |
