If you are considering buying a used RV, why not get a used
RoadTrek?
The RoadTrek is superior in terms of stability as it has a lower
center of gravity compared to RVs by other manufacturers. For
better weight distribution, the water tanks are located close to
the axles. With a much longer wheelbase (compared to the overall
length) a Roadtrek provides unsurpassed highway stability. (A
Roadtrek 190's length is only 58% longer than its wheelbase
compared to 91% for a 22' B+ motorhome with a 138" wheelbase.)
It also has excellent suspension, steering and braking
capabilities of the chassis.
It has a Chevrolet's body-on-frame construction, a short rear
overhang, "normal" and "towing" transmission modes, and an
optional locking differential with external transmission cooler
(n/a on 170 and Sprinter) to provide superior towing performance.
As the Roadtrek is small, it is easy to park. As the Chevy based
Roadtreks don't even look like motorhomes, you can avoid RV
parking restrictions and park at regular spaces.
A Roadtrek is more than just a family camper. You might even
purchase it as a second vehicle for the family. It has 6 forward
facing seats with seatbelts. The cost of owning and operating a
Roadtrek is far lower than a second vehicle in the driveway AND
a motorhome in storage! In addition to that, RVs depreciate slow
compared to an ordinary car and Roadtrek RVs have higher resale
value compared to other motorhomes.
Thanks to its aerodynamic shape and lower overall size and
weight, Roadtreks are not fuel guzzlers. The lowered floor on
Chevy models allows a low, sweeping roof. The heat pump (air
conditioner & heater) is built into the rear, with only the
flush-mounted grills visible from the rear. The refrigerator
vent is disguised and integrated into a black louvered grill in
the galley window while the fresh water fill is securely located
inside a passenger side or rear door. This is to prevent
tampering. For superior ventilation, the Roadtreks have large
frameless awning windows that not only look better and provide
superior view but protects from the rain and reduce wind noise.
Other features that are standard in Roadtreks, may not be found
in other RVs. Some include the built-in sewage hose system on
the 170 and 190; macerator sewage pump on the 210 and RS;
cloverleaf dining table; temporarily enclosed bathroom/privacy
area; stand-up aisle shower; lowered floor; built-in heat pump;
exterior storage compartments below the floor; under-floor
tanks; dual layer foam beds and more.
Considering all these additional features, you may consider to
purchase a used Roadtrek RV as your first camper van that is
ideal for your domestic vacation.
"Loved your article and this is exactly what I'd like to do! But finding a Roadtrek 210 Popular to rent or even a used one to buy is proving to be quite a challenge! Do you have links for me? I live in the just north of Wisconsin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan."
