Class B Vans provide the very best way to travel across the country. There size and gas mileage allow you to go anywhere at any time. Large motorhomes are difficult to maneuver and are limited on where they can go. With a larger RV, many people leave the RV behind and drive a tow vehicle to explore the area. With a small Class B Camper, comfort and home is always with you. In a Roadtrek Van you can access narrow forest roads and other dirt roads leading to free dispersed camping areas.
Class B Vans are truly for an individual who wants it all. Enjoy the convenience of your own bathroom, change room, kitchen, living room and bedroom. You can be more spontaneous. Since all your gear is with you, if you find a wonderful hiking trail, camping area, or meet up with people, you can take advantage of opportunities without having to return to home base.

Awnings are a great feature to have on your Roadtrek. There are several different types of Class B Van awnings and they serve different purposes.
Window and door awnings provide shade and keep rain away from your Roadtrek windows or entry door. Slide-out awnings help to protect the top of the slide out from debris and water. And patio awnings can extend the living area of our outdoor world.
The awnings on your Roadtrek will provide years of reliable, trouble-free operation if you take the time to do a little preventive maintenance and cleaning
Here is Dave Arbogast Van Depot’s top 7 tips for extending the life of your Roadtrek awnings.
1. The first step to maintaining your awnings is to understand more about the different types of awning fabrics. Fabric used on Class B Van awnings is one of two types, acrylic or vinyl. Acrylic fabric is a woven cloth that lets air circulate through the fabric. This air circulation allows the fabric to dry quickly when it gets wet. Acrylic fabrics are water repellent, but not waterproof. If you have experience tent camping you know that you shouldn’t touch the underside of the tent when it’s wet. Touching the wet fabric allows water to seep through the fabric. The same applies to an acrylic awning fabric. Vinyl awning fabric is mildew resistant, but not necessarily mildew proof. Mildew can form on the dirt and dust that collects on the vinyl fabric. The mildew will be worse in high temperatures, high humidity and if the fabric is stored when it is wet.
2. When you open the awnings for the first time each year, or if an awning has been stored for a while, you will need to inspect the awning fabric for any signs of mildew or stains. Remember that vinyl awnings will mildew. To prevent dirt from imbedding in the woven fabric of an acrylic awning fabric, you should simply hose the fabric off on a routine basis. Avoid scrubbing acrylic awning fabric. Scrubbing can remove the water retardant finish. For stubborn stains, blot the approved cleaner on the acrylic fabric with a sponge or soft cloth.
3. For more difficult stains or mildew on a vinyl awning fabric, use an aftermarket commercial cleaner made just for awning fabrics. One method that seems to work well is to spray the inside and outside of the awning fabric with the appropriate cleaner and then roll it up and let it sit for several minutes. This distributes the cleaner over the entire surface of the awning fabric and allows the cleaner time to work. Open the awning and thoroughly rinse both sides of the fabric. It may be necessary to scrub stubborn stains with a brush on a vinyl awning fabric before rinsing. You can clean the awning hardware with the same cleaner you use to wash the Roadtrek.
Note: Never use oil-based or abrasive cleaners on awning fabrics. Clean and thoroughly rinse both sides of the awning fabric. Carefully follow all awning and cleaner manufacturer directions.
4. Inspect the awning fabric for any tears or excessive wear. While the awning is out, inspect the awning hardware. The bottom awning brackets support most of the load from the awning. Check the lag screws in the awning brackets for secure mounting. Inspect the arm pivot holes for any enlarged holes or broken rivets in the handles. Check for a warped roller tube. If the roller tube is warped it will be noticeable when you roll the awning out. Inspect the awning end caps for secure mounting and any broken or loose rivets. Make sure the awning rail is securely mounted to the side of the Roadtrek.
Caution: Never attempt to remove the awning end caps. Spring tension can result in serious injury. Have any damaged or broken parts repaired before using the awning.
5. In addition to cleaning and inspecting your awnings, there are a few things to keep in mind when using the awnings, especially the patio awning. Always lower one end of the awning to allow for water runoff. The weight from water pooling on the awning fabric can cause extensive and costly damage. Any wind gusts over 20 miles per hour can also cause extensive damage to the awning and to the Roadtrek. Never leave the awning out unattended. If everyone is leaving the campsite, store the awning in the travel position. When you go to bed, store the awning. Even when you are at the campsite you should use awning tie downs to prevent any sudden damage caused by high wind gusts or a sudden storm. You have the option to position the awning arms straight down and stake them to the ground, but you will get better support if they’re attached to the bottom awning brackets on the side of the Roadtrek. Remember, it is much easier to prevent damage to your awning than it is to repair it.
6. Never store the awning when the fabric is wet. Allow enough time for it the fabric to dry completely, on both sides, before storing the awning.

Are you planning a trip in your Roadtrek? Road trips are most likely the reason you purchased your class b van and a great way to enjoy the country with your family. Before leaving on your vacation it’s important to make sure you take care of some preliminary planning . We have include some good tips and planning reminders so your vacation goes perfect:
1. Plan your itinerary to include the campgrounds you will be staying at. Give a family member or friend a copy of your itinerary along with the campground contact information. Make campground reservations in advance, especially during the busy travel season.
2. Try to limit your daily driving to 350 miles a day or less. Not only will your trip be more enjoyable, but this will allow plenty of time to get set up at the campground before it gets dark and to enjoy some of the amenities the campground has to offer.
3. Make sure your emergency roadside service plan is up to date. If you don’t have one, you should get one prior to leaving on your trip.
4. Conduct pre-trip checks on your Roadtrek. Click here to see our pre-trip checklist.
5. Check and refill any medications you will need. If you are under a doctor’s care, bring a copy of your medical records.
6. Be sure you have the following: credit cards, ATM card, checkbook, cell phone, address book and stamps, emergency contact numbers, a spare set of eyeglasses or reading glasses, a spare set of keys, Roadtrek owner’s manuals and warranty information. Also, make sure you have your passports, if necessary, and check the expiration dates.
7. Check the weather conditions for where you will be traveling each day. Take a weather radio receiver with you. Don’t travel in bad weather or during high winds.
Now, double check that everything is loaded in the Roadtrek before you hit the road. Have a great time exploring this wonderful country we live in.
Roadtrek Class B Vans get great gas mileage but there are some simple ways to get a few miles better. Dave Arbogast Van Depot can help keep your Roadtrek in top shape, ensuring your getting the best MPG’s possible. Take a look at Polk’s top seven steps to better fuel economy. Are you getting the most out of your Roadtrek?
1. Check and replace your air filter if it’s dirty. That’s right, something as simple as a clean air filter can improve your fuel economy up to 10 percent.
2. Checking and adjusting your tire pressure to the proper pressure can increase fuel economy by 3 percent. Of course, it can also prevent premature tire wear, tire failures and blowouts caused by overinflated or underinflated tires. Tires can look normal when they are seriously underinflated. Use a quality air pressure gauge and check your tires when they’re cold, before traveling more than one mile.
3. For each 5 mph you go over 60 mph, you pay 10 cents more per gallon of fuel. So if you’re traveling down the interstate at 70 mph, add 20 cents to the price on the pump. Speeding and rapid acceleration reduces fuel economy from 5 to 33 percent depending on your individual driving habits. Wow, that can add up quick.
4. Keep your Roadtrek tuned up and in top running condition. A poorly tuned engine can lower fuel economy by 10 to 20 percent. Poor emissions and/or a faulty oxygen sensor can cause a 40 percent reduction in fuel economy. Can you believe that, a 40 percent reduction? To have your engine or emissions checked call 1-866-975-3287. Arbogast’s Roadtrek Service Department will be glad keep your systems in top shape.
5. Follow the recommended service and maintenance schedules.
6. Using synthetic oils will increase fuel economy by 2 or more percent.
7. Adding weight that you don’t need reduces fuel economy significantly. We’re all guilty of this one. As a friend once told me, if you haven’t used it in the last six months you don’t need it.
