The Winnebago Era to return in 2012!  I had a chance to walk through the all new Era at the annual dealer RV show in Louisville, Ky., and was extremely impressed. As you know, Winnebago halted production of the Era in 2010.  I am confident Winnebago will continue to gain market share with the new Era model.

Some of the Era’s new features include:

  • Mercedes Sprinter 3500 with Dual rear wheels
  • Additional Overhead Storage – Above cab, behind driver’s seat, behind bath
  • Additional wardrobe storage – Shirt closet behind bath, available removable wardrobe behind driver seat
  • Standard stainless steel wheel liners
  • Available stylized aluminum wheels
  • Available exterior accessories package – Polished stainless steel grill bar cover, Polished stainless steel rocker trim
  • Larger 13′ patio awning
  • Larger 70″ electric sofa bed standard with 3 belted sofa positions and 2 child seat tethers
  • Available GPS
  • Available rear view monitor
  • 110V/LP water heater standard vs. LP only water heater

Winnebago blames the implantation of new federal diesel emissions standards for the halt in production. “We chose to evaluate how we could best enhance and improve the ERA before launching a new model year of product. With the 2011 Mercedes Sprinter Van we’re able to produce the Era with better user functionality and enhance features,” Winnebago reported.

I do have multiple pictures and a video of the new Winnebago Era, but are Winnebago rep asked me not to  include pictures in this post.  I will be sure to share all me assets once I get the green light. Arbogast Van Depot has multiple 2012 Winnebago Era models on order.

This week I had the pleasure of visiting the annual International RV show in Louisville Kentucky. I was excited to see all the new class b van products. There is some exciting things coming from the engineers of Roadtrek, Airstream and Winnebago. Some of the things I can’t talk about just yet but stay tuned! I was again blown away by the all new Airstream Avenue Class B Van. The looks, style and usability are phenomenal. Arbogast Van Depot believes in the product so much we order a bunch more!

If you haven’t had the chance to see the 2011 Airstream Avenue check out the pictures or just call 1-866-975-3287. Pat Borton will be glad to email or mail you a brochure. As soon as I get word from the manufactures, I’ll will share some more things I saw at the show. I wouldn’t want to get into any trouble!

I received this note from one of our recent customers:

Thanksgiving has become a stressful day in my family. With two children it has become difficult to travel from Ohio to Tennessee to see our family. I don’t think any kid is a fan of a six hour drive in a car! My husband and I have always wanted a camper.  Six months ago we finally pulled the trigger.

We came to Arbogast and looked at literally everything! We checked out Class A, Class C, and Class B motorhomes and decided on a Roadtrek RS Adventurous. We loved the idea of have a motorhome getting better gas mileage than some suv’s.

To make a long story short, this year’s drive to Tennessee was fantastic! The kids watched movies and played Xbox in the back while my husband and I enjoyed an easy drive. We love everything about our Roadtrek and appreciate everything Arbogast has done. From our whole family, especially the kids, “Thank you Arbogast!”

All us at Arbogast appreciate your note and are so happy you are enjoying your Roadtrek.  Happy travels!

I was in Las Vegas last week and saw a Roadtrek Class B Camper traveling down the middle of the strip. Roadtrek’s small compact size enabled them to drive right through the middle of town without any problems. Instead of paying a large amount of money for a hotel room, they were enjoying the comfort of their class b van.  Imagine enjoying the casinos during the day and then retreating to your home away from home at night.

With a Roadtrek Class B Van you can go anywhere at any time. I cannot imagine taking any other motorhome through Las Vegas during rush hour! Enjoy seeing the country without worrying about size limitations.  Find out how a class b van can change the way you travel.  Call Pat Borton at 1-866-975-3287 to day!

I received this note from one of our recent customers about her travels in a 2010 Roadtrek 210 Popular:

Traveling with children can be very stressful! This summer my husband and I took our five year old to Chicago in our Roadtrek.  We loved the ability to move around the cabin freely an d enjoy many of the amenities we have at home.  It was perfect, my daughter watched a movie while we both relaxed on the back sofa.  The seven hour drive was easy and painless.  More importantly we felt safe and secure in our Roadtrek!

– Betty Haase

Betty I completely agree with you! Roadtrek Class B Campers provide the perfect way to travel with children.  My wife and I also have a little one who loves to watch movies in the van.  Thanks for sharing your story and happy Roadtreking!

The cooler temperatures have many of us thinking about the coming winter and the joys of dealing with snow.  If you plan on heading to warmer weather why not enjoy yourself in a Roadtrek.  Roadtrek Class B Campers are the perfect vehicle for winter travels.  Most Snowbird destinations have special attractions, good shopping, and restaurants—and there are friendly people everywhere.  All of which can be enjoyed from the comforts of your class b van.

Roadtrek Camper Vans get wonderful gas mileage making your travels economical.  See more of the United States without going broke. In a Roadtrek extended stays are also comfortable with many of the same amenities of home.  Roadtrek’s are fully self contained and can operate without being hooked up at a campground site.  When you are staying in a private campground with external connections for electrical power and fresh & waste water, you can take advantage of these connections to extend your stay beyond the capacities of your water tanks.

Roadtrek Class B Vans are perfect for snowbirds. For more information, call one of the experts at Arbogast!  We have a large selection of new and used class b vans for sale.

Dave Arbogast Van Depot has just lowered the prices on all remaining 2010 Class B Campers.  We have a large shipment of 2011 Roadtrek and Airstream models coming soon and need to move our current inventory.

2010 Airstream Avenue

2010 Roadtrek SS Ideal
